Service Corps

President Kennedy has
made another brazen move
to continue and expand Fed
eral intrusion into the area
Of welfare. In his National
Service Corps" proposal, he
calls for a rowing band Of
5000 agents responsible to
himself and capable of being
sent anywhere in the coun-
try.
This action, coupled with
certain tax proposals
designed to remove tax de-
auctions for private charity
contributions. reaffirms Pres
ident Kennedy's contempt for
the 20 million private volun-
teers in this Nation and his
plan to replace the works Of
these unselfish people with
Federal intervention.
The five proposed pilot
projects. to take place in
several States, including New
York and Massachusetts, are
already under the auspices
Of private or local govern
ment workers, and receiving
numerous forms Of Federal
aid. President Kennedy knows
this better than most. But
he also knows that such a
proposal will be popular with
a certain segment Of Amer
ica's population. AS with too
many Of his actions, the real
reasons are not as sincere or
charitable as they might
seem.
I indorse the statement
made by our national chair
man. Bob Bauman: I'VE as
young conservatives support
individual efforts to help our
fellow citizens who are less
fortunate. We will not sup
port all unnecessary and I'M
wanted intrusion by the Fed
eral Government into the
area OF American life previ-
ously reserved TO private and
local responsibility"

Under the Ruu'

In Directing to Superintendent
HanSenS proposals the other day, some
members of the Board Of Education
indicated disbelief at the reported scope
Of the disciplinary problem in District
schools. And this in itself is not
surprising.
The school board is far more remote
from the classroom than Dr. Hansen is.
Yet the superintendent comedies that
his own first reaction to the MacCarthy
Committees allegations of misconduct
and disruption of Schoolroom activities
by troublemakerS also was one of dis
belief. He has concluded now that these
charges have been "in the main corrob-
GRATED" by what he has heard in numer-
GUS personal conferences, and by
review of statements submitted to his
office by more than 1900 teachers. DR..
Hansen told the board he Is convinced
that I'VE have not been realistic about
the problem Of the teacher in the class
room" He added II want to say to the
board in all sincerity that the problem
cannot be ignored-or swept under the
rug There is no real safety in refusing
to take aggressive action"
Indeed there is not. A questioning
Of the facts is one thing. But the
generalities in which some members Of
the board INDUCED the other day avoided
the basic issues. The Board of Education
has heavy responsibility to the COM
munity, first to open its eyes to the
facts, and then to act upon them. II it
fails to do so, 1t very soon will face a
more grave dilemma. The aggressive
action" that DR.. Hansen speaks of is not
drastic. If 1t is now ignored, however,
the result can only serve to reaSsure
those guilty Of misconduct that they
have nothing to fear from anyone.
One point which the antagonists Of
the Hansen approach seem unable to
comprehend is that it is by no means
an indictment of the student body as a
whole. Among the $4,000 pupils in the
public schools, the superintendent esti-
mates that not more than per cent
could be characterized as troublemakers,
and that only small fraction of this
group is likely to ever face such drastic
action as expulsion. But the presence
Of one or two real troublemakers in a
class is sufficient to thoroughly retard
and disrupt the progress Of all the rest.
The entire thrust of the Hansen pro-
posalS is to serve notice on the men,
bers Of this obStreperouS minority that
they will no longer be allowed to indulge
themselves at the expense Of everyone
else.
Ironically, in It's three-hour special
meeting on the Hansen report, the
Board Of Education approved without
moments discussion the superintendent
recommendation to seek $3.3-million
addition to the school budget next year
to provide more adequate educational
resources. Certainly these requests de-
serve serious consideration from Con-
gress. II the board closes its eyes to the
disciplinary problem, however, 1t can
scarcely expect either public or COM
munity support on this broader matter.
A determined attack against misconduct
by a diSruptive minority Of pupils will
not solve many other problems faced
by the public schools. 1t is In itself an
essential step, which the Board Of Edu-
cation cannot afford to ignore.

nucopia, across the years as
he kept patiently on. came
varied forms and figures
clinging to the walls and
ceilings in gorgeous colors
and rich designs.
Perhaps the climax Of all
his Capitol treasures is what
is known as the Presidents
Room" on the Senate side.
For more than six years he
toiled terribly on that jew
eled ceiling from which ,hu-
man eyes follow one In all
parts of the room. But the
bequest he left there has
given 1t the distinction of
being called the most exquis-
itely decorated room In
America.
Republics are VIGOROUSLY
ungrateful. 1t seems to be an
unfortunate trait of democ-
racy that often its most shin
ing servants and saints are
those who are cannonaded
while alive and canonized
only long after death has
removed them beyond the
reach Of praise and blame.
At long last it was O de-
termined woman, her great
heart shamed by such fla
grant ingratitude, who was
destined to lift Brumidi to
his rightful niche In the
Westminster Abbey of our
Nations remembrance. That
elect woman, DR.. Myrtle.
Cheney Murdoch, is the cul-
tured wife Of a former con-
gressional legislator. BY per-
sistent research and the
gathering of historical facts
she FURNISHED anew the an
mails Of this immigrants in
spring achievements. In her
beautifully adorned volume,
Constantine Brumidi, Mi
chelangelo of the United
States Capitol" a lovely ex-
ample Of the bookmaker's art,
she has reproduced in glor-
ious colors the immortal fres-
cos for all to see and admire.
This. that she has done de-
serves to be told in all the
land now that largely
through her efforts Brumidi
has come into his own.
At a great gathering in the
rotunda almost a dozen years
ago, in the presence Of an
admiring throng, there was
dramatically lifted up the art
lists worn copy of the Bible.
In it the hand that adorned
the Capitol has entered the
date Of his arrival on the
shores of this new sweet
land of liberty" as he fled
from the thraldom Of the old.
In the sacred book he had
inscribed. Presented to me
by the American Bible So
ciety." 1t was in the inspira-
ton from that Book Of Books
that he put upon the walls
of the historic Capitol his Of
fering to the God of Liberty
and Of Beauty from whom his
genius was a golden gift. With
what moving emotion this
italian refugee declared, my
daily prayer is that I may
live long enough to make
beautiful the Capitol Of the
one country In the world in
which there is liberty" In the
beauty Of those speaking
walls Brumidi still lives.
Under the white dome on
a mammoth mural In simple
eloquence, with his brush, he
signed himself In this opu-
lent manner, &C. Brumidi,
Artist. Citizen of the United
States"

STRONG CONSCIENCE

MEL SUA RE 2,
Argentina (AP) = The local police
chief in this small Argentine
Pampas town was astounded one
day to hear 47-year-old Froilar
Alvarez, considered an honest
man by everyone in the district,
confess to a theft.
Several months ago, Alvarez
said he had stolen a dozen COWS
from a field in the region. Three
of the cows gave birth to calves
since. Alvarez added his con-
science was bothering him sc
much he wanted to return COWS
and calves, but did not know who
the owner was.
Police sought the owner but
could not find him. Alvarez was
held on theft charges, but the local
Judge set him free on probation.
Alvarez then tried to commit
suicide by slashing his wrists.
He was rushed to hospital and
saved. Asked why he did 1t,
Alvarez replied: MY conscience
was bothering me. The Judge was
too lenient. should have stayed
in Jail"

A New Slant On Kids Accidents

wore accluentS occur on Saturday
than on any other day; more ac-
cidents occur from 3-6 pm. thar
at any other time.
DR.. Robert J. Haggerty, Chief
of the Child Health Division,
points out that the key people
in these factors are the par
ents particularly the mother.
eff a mother is distracted :
either because she's i'll, worried,
lpre-menstrual, in the midst OF
moving, or just plain over-press-
ed her attention to and care
for the children are bound to be
less. Meals are apt to be late.
The children are physically hun
cry because they aren't getting
fed. They're emotionally hungry
because they aren't getting at
tention. These everyday troubles
set the stage for accidents" :"
How to stop the chain of
TROUBLES from building to an ac-
cident? Half the battle, suggests
the Handbook, is being aware of
the danger signals and taking
extra precautions during press
ured times. DR.. Hatgerty sug-
gests that. at such times. mothers
should try to simplify family life
and do only those things
necessary to keep herself and her
family fed and comfortable.
One of the most startling sta
ltistics from the Accident Study
was that less than so per cent
of the parents realized the sew
Gritty of an injury when 1t oc-
Cured. This frequently made
the injury worse and, in some
cases, was a contributing cause
of death.
To inform parents of the danger
symptoms, the Accident Hand
book devotes IA of its 20 pages
to first aid treatments for
specific injuries such as
"burns", "cuts", "drowning" +,
and "bites". A household safety
checklist and an emergency tele-
phone list are included in the
back pages.
Financed by the US. public
Health Service, the Accident
Study concentrated its intensive
efforts on the 1876 pre-school
children who were hospitalized
at the hospital in 1861. The re-
searchers spent many hours in
tervieWing the "accident" chill
dren and their parents both in
the hospital and later in their
homes. Some 96 background
questions ranged from how the
mother felt towards the injured
child to the fathers method of
disciplining him. Hospital costs
for treating these 186 children
were $76, $780,, or an average of
$4.10 per child.
Other members of the Accident
Study's research team were:
Mrs. Bluestone, Mrs. Henri Roe
lofs, a medical social worker, and
Miss Sandra Redmond, nursery
school teacher.
