New Dollar Bills
Are Distributed

H. P. Heidelberg, Jr., preSi-
dent Of the Pascagoula Moss
Point Bank, said today that
thousands Of dollars in a new
and slightly changed one-dollar
bill will probably be distributed
in the Pascagoula : Moss Point
Ocean Springs area, between
now and Christmas.
He urged store cashiers and
others handling money on the
business front here to acquaint
themselves with thseS new bills
so that none are turned down
in the belief that they are count
erfeit.
Heidelberg pointed out that the
Federal Reserve has placed in
circulation recently about so mil
lion Of one-dollar Federal Re
serve notes, and the new notes
closely resemble the present one
dollar silver certificates, which
they will ultimately replace
completely.
The back of the new notes and
the portraits of George Wash
ington on the face are exactly
the same as the silver certifi-
Gates. The main difference is the
addition of a symbol, appearing
to the left of the portrait, identi-
flying the issuing Federal Re
serve Bank, and the wording on
the face of the bill.
The notes bear signatures of
the secretary Of the treasury
and the treasurer Of the United
States, as do Federal Reserve
notes Of other denominations.
The new notes, he said, read
(above the portrait): "The Unit
ed States of America" and (be-
low the portrait) Zone Dollar"
The legend stating that the bill
us Legal Tender For All Debts,
Public And Private" appearing
on the silver certificates also
appear on the new Federal Re
serve notes, but the new notes
do not contain any reference to
silver.
Thus, they do not carry the
language: "This Certifies That
There Is On Deposit In The
Treasury Of The United States
Of America" (above portrait)
and Zone Dollar In Silver Pay

A Washington engineering
educator called last night for
sacrifice Of 1.-THE sacred cows Of
higher education" to bring the
reality Of life to the classroom.
Dean Martin A. Mason, Of
George Washington Univer-
sity's School Of Engineering
and Applied Science, delivered
the Frank Howard Lecture Ct

of the, annual Distinguished
Alumnus Award of the Univer-
sity Engineering Alumni As
ISOLATION.
He was cited, for outstanding
service in the operation Of
modern engineering education
al methods.
Dean Mason said that q
major overhaul of liberal arts,
science and engineering cur
ricula, course structure and in
structional philosophy seems
necessary in the light Of new
ly REDEEMED educational objec-
tives.
The objective Of educating
the individual to his fullest
potential calls, he said, not for
the loss of educational sound
ness nor for increased expense,
but for sacrifice of "the sacred
cows of higher education, the
little empires Of special interest
land of insecure professors and
educational administrators and
the dead hand Of educational
tradition"
In his own university, a new
approach to engineering educa-
ton described as the first major
change in the pattern Of en-
cheering and applied science
education in the history Of the
country has been announced for
next fall.
The new program will allow
students to move at individual
rates Of progress and offer the
student greater leeway for a
more liberal education than has
been traditional.

Mr.. Rusk Back Home

Secretary of State RuSk, after what
he has described as his most interest
ing and somewhat strenuous trip" to
Russia and West Germany, now is back
home to go through the further rigors
Of testifying before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee in behalf Of the
limited nuClear test-ban treaty. On the
whole, the case he has to offer is so
persuasive that ratification by an over
whelming vote seems virtually certain.
In any event, Chancellor Adenauer
and his government, after comforting
with Mr.. Rusk for several hours in Bonn,
have found his arguments and assur-
ances impressive enough to make West
Germany indicate willingness to sign
and ratify the new pact. The assur-
ances are that such action will not
legitimatize the illegitimate East Ger
man puppet regime and that it will not
imply acceptance of the present par
tition as a more or less permanent
arrangement creating two Germanys.
Actually, despite its own past state
mentS, the Soviet Union itself does not
seem to be intent now on pressing for
separate German peace treaty or
a nonaggreSSion pact Of the type that
Bonn fears and that NATO could hardly
accept. Instead, Mr. Rusk is reported
to have found Premier Khrushchev and
the Kremlin so preoccupied with Red
China that they are content at the
moment to defer other issues and have
the test-ban agreement as something
they can use to good effect in their
cold war with Mao Tze-tung.
Thus, as for moving beyond the
test ban to second and third steps aimed
at making progress toward settling such
questions as Berlin and attaining a
genuine detente, Mr.. Rusk-with char
acteriStic understatement-haS declared
that he thinks the next round of Soviet
Western negotiations will not move
with great speed" Still, one never can
tell about the Russians. AS in the case
Of the Austrian treaty, they have sud-
denly agreed to the nuclear pact after
long years Of Sailing, and possibly
bigger and better things will follow
sooner than Mr.. Rusk expects.

Russia and the Moon

1t is encouraging that the Soviet
Union seems to be ready, at long last,
to cooperate with the United States
in unnamed and manned exploration
Of the moon, and in other ventures in
outer space.
This is the news that Sir Bernard
Lowell, the celebrated British astrono-
mer, has transmitted to our Government
at the conclusion Of his visit to the USSR
and his talks with the bigwigS Of the
Kremlin'S space program. If his findings
are accurate, then our country has every
reason to pursue the matter to see
whether genuine cooperative under
taking can be worked out.
Ever since the beginning Of the
Space Age, Of course, American policy
has been aimed at persuading the Rus
slams to join in mutually advantageous
experimental and exploratory projects
Of nonmilitary nature. Quite obviously,
as far as the moon is concerned, a
Joint effort would greatly decrease the
chronological difficulties and the eco
nomic costs involved in the separate
programs contemplated by each of our
countries.
Accordingly, assuming that such
cooperation can be carried out without
damaging our security, the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration
should lose no time In exploring the
possibilities suggested by Sir Bernard
in his letter to James Webb, NASA's
head. The Russians may be sincere about
the matter; anyhow, we should try to
find out whether they are or not.
