RICHMOND, Mar. 23.-For-
mer Gov. Colgate w. Darden
yesterday warned fellow men,
bers of the Virginia State Board
Of Education that the boards
supervision of State colleges is
eating up time that should be
devoted to managing the public
school system.
The former Governor suggest
ed creating separate boards of
visitors to run Madison, Long
wood and Virginia State Col
leges.
Saying that college matters
have piled up" on the educa-
ton board members, Gov. OAR
den asserted that States public
schools deserve more attention
than they are getting. The
board Of education isn't func-
tioning as it should, he said.
Initial Mention
While the Darden proposal
echoes suggestions made in re-
cent years by, members of the
Spong Commission on Public
Education and other students
Of Virginia's educational sys-
tenn, Gov. Darden was the first
board member publicly to sug-
gest breaking up some of its
responsibilities.
Board members Lewis F.
Powell, jr., of Richmond and
State Senator Mosby Perrow Of
Lynchburg indicated they felt
the same way. Senator Perrov

Low Fuel Nearly
Schirro OrbitoI Flight

CAPE CANAvERAL, Fla.
Mar. % (AP). - Astronaut
Walter M. Schirra came close to
having his orbital mission
aborted last October 3 because
of rapid consumption Of fuel
by the Atlas booster rocket.
Mai. Winton @. Hammond,
the range safety officer, re-
ported yesterday that for a few
seconds he feared he might
have to send a radio signal to
destroy the Atlas. If this had
happened, rocket escape sys-
tenn was geared to shoot Comdr.
Schirra's capsule free and para
chute 1t to earth.
Mai. Hammond said instru-
ments indicated the excessive
fuel usage about $50 seconds
after launching. If it had con-
tinued at that rate, he said. an
orbit would not have been
achieved and the spacecraft
could have landed in the Pacific
Ocean or anywhere short Of one
complete orbit.
"At a time like that, a range
safety officer feels very lone
some. He doesn't have a friend
in the world" Mai. Hammond
said. There were only a very
few seconds in which to analyze
the situation and make a deci-
sion. The decision was made
to continue the flight to see If
the problem would clear. About
1870 seconds after launching, it
appeared that the situation
hadn't worsened.
THE flight was continued
and the decision made to fire
reverse rockets on the capsule

NEW Y0RK.-The most
difficult problem Of business
and investment analysis is to
identify a change in direction
for the economy and its mar
kets. If at any given time you
ask a group Of business men,
even professionally trained
analysts), to project the future,
they are likely instead to de-
scribe the preSent-and to. as
sumo that the future will be
very much the same, give a
little or take a little.
While continuity" is very
much the slogan in Washington,
change -far-reaching and major
change-is making its impact
felt on the economy. The Wig
orous assertion of bulls b
strength in the stock market is
the most obvious sign of this.
To those who had been
worrying that a tired, old bull
market might fall of its own
weight, this has come as a
surprise. But to those who have
learned not to let their precon-
ceived ideas tempt them to
quarrel with the authority of the

England since April? The econ

Industrial production b a s

Industrial plants are now

impressive that the change In
the situation has already given
birth to a vigorous new bull
market.
Little wonder that a change in
Government should produce a
corresponding change Of the
prevailing preSSures for the
economy and its markets. For,
in the first place, Government
is now the biggest single money
force In the entire market
place. Moreover, while Govern
ment is the effective maker and
changer of the climate of conf
dence to which our political
economy responds.
Traditionally, under Demo
cratic presidents, business
activity is expected to be high,
while investment confidence is
expected to waiver. The con-
verse is expected to be the case
under Republican presidents:
Investment confidence is ex-
pected to command a premium,
while business activity falters.
President Johnson's desisive
grasp Of the levers of Govern
mental machinery has got both
sides of the confidence-activity
equation going for him. The
good start that he has made has
launched a proper Mr.. johnson
confidence boom which seems
as vigorous as that which pow
cred the surge of investment in
stocks and in new capital equip
ment during Eisenhower's first
term. At the same time, the
breakthrOugh he is scoring with
Democratic programs promises
better business activity for 1864.
The progress Mr.. johnson is
making, through his economy
drive in getting these programs
better financed is calculated to
strengthen both sides of the
confidence-a ctivity euuatiou
in 1854: This is a prerequisite
for working our way out of the
profits squeeze.
Mr.. johnson is a good horse
trader, and he's ready to cut
back spending on obsOlescence
