Legacy of Sight

ANCHORAGE R - An Anchor age mother who was unable to give her own son sight apparently has made it possible for Sitka woman to see her four children and two grandchildren
 But Mrs. William Spence, who donated her eyes so corneal transplant could be performed on Mrs. Arthur Littlefield of Sitka, will never see the results. Mrs. Spence died two weeks ago at Providence Hospital, a victim of cancer.
 Before her death Oct. 8, Mrs Spence, 51, donated her eyes for Mrs Littlefield's surgery. The op- eration was performed the same day at the Alaska Native Hospital here.
 The results of the operation may not be known for two months, according to the surgeon who per formed the corneal transplant. He reported yesterday that his pa tient was in satisfactory condition.
 Mrs. Littlefield, 49, has had ''oe- were corneal scarring since child hood" hospital officials said. She has spent her life in shadows - seeing only fuzzy outlines of her children and grandchildren
 Mrs. Spence's own son. Ebert, has been blind since birth. Accord- ing to his father, Ebert learned to live with his blindness which sur gery cannot help.
 Now 30 years old, Ebert oper- ates the concession stand in the Alaska Court System building l here.
 Both Mrs. Spence's husband and son are proud of her last act of kindness.
 Following her lead, he also has Willed his eyes so they might some day aid another blind person.

How Come Reds Happy?

HOLLYWOOD R - The tele- vision world is supposed to be fierce and frantic as spawner of ulcers and nervous breakdowns.
 So how come Red Skelton is so happy?
 The raucous redhead is starting his 14th year in television, his second season with a full hour, and he's never been so content. The reason is that he has discovered way of life that suits him.
 Red has joined the Hollywood celebrities who live in Palm Springs. He spends five days a week at his desert home, comes to town on Wednesday and Thursday to rehearse and tape his shows.
 "As soon as I get to the Los An geles city limits and see the wall of smog," said he, q shut off my lungs"
 Desert air breathes better for many reasons, he said.
 Reds an eight-hour worker - a week, that is. He figures that's the elapsed time it takes him to put together his hour show.

Educators Tell Solons to Leave Proper Driver Training Methods to Teachers

The Automotive Safety Foun- datlon puts it this way:
 High schol driver education of ters tested opportunity to i'm prove the bad accident record of the teen-ager. The program is on a plateau and needs aggressive sup port so that more youngsters in more schools can have the benefit of training
 "The under-2O group has about 6,4OO accidents a day at an esti- mated cost of about S1 billion a year.
 They account for only Fl per cent of the licensed drivers but 6,6OO of them were involved in 13.2 per cent of the fatal accidents in 1862"
 Last year about 3.1 million young people reached driving age. Of these, 1.31 million, or 42 per cent, were enrolled in driver education courses. The percentage has been about the same since 1855.
 As the nations population in creaSes so will the number of driv- CTS. However, the number of young drivers will increase more rapidly than those in other age groups.
 It's a sobering thought to any one who witnesses wild driving by young people, or has to pay the eXtra-high insurance rates that such driving demands.

By J. w. DAVIS

WASHINGTON R - Recently the National Education Association came out against the practice of state legislatures requiring high schools to provide driving train ing.
 At first glance, this looked some thing like opposing good manners, good sportsmanship or good health.
 It wasn't at all. The NEA, an organization of teachers and school administrators, has no objection to boys and girls learning how to drive safely.
 What happened was this: An NEA-sponsored report said the role of the legislatures is to set forth general goals and provide finan- cial support. It said decisions on what to teach should be left as much as possible to local school faculties.
 An NEA spokesman said the rec ommendation was adopted because some state laws require courses on such things as communism and state history and several states re- quire high schools to provide driv- CT training.
 
 The American Automobile Asso~ ciation, which has pioneered in the work. reports that youngsters who have had driver training have fewer accidents and traffic law vii olations than those who haven't had it.

 NOW HEAR THIS With the Legislature and Congress both get ting ready to settle down busi- ness again all elements of the fish ing industry will have job keep ing track of various bills affecting their interests. State Senator Brad Phillips, Anchorage Republican, has announced he is introducing bill to permit commercial fisher men to work in all of Alaska's fish, ing areas. The licenses would be good anywhere in Alaska, Phillips says, and would permit packers to take better advantage of local per sonnel during the fishing season. He said fishermen would be able to work where the fish are instead of gambling the season on their ability to predict the location Of good runs. Present regulations re- quire commercial fishermen to be licensed by specific fishing dis tricts. Just thought you'd like to know about this particular idea.

Compromise
Arms Bill
BY a Star staff Writer

The Senate has approved
unanimously q compromise bill
authorizing expenditure of $l5.S
billion by the military services
for new weapons and for re-
search and development.
The measure, agreed on by a
Senate-House conference COM
mittee last Friday, reconciles
differences in separate bills pre-
viously passed by each branch.
1t goes now to the House for
final action. probably today.
Included in the measure Is
$363.7 million not requested by
the Defense Department for De-
velopment Of the supersonic Jet
reconnaissance airplane known
as the RS-70.
Senator Russell, Democrat Of
Georgia. chairman of the Sem
ate conferees, said that except
for this the total authorization
Evening star., 1963-05-14

now amounts 10 nearly SlUU
million. Counting the bonds 1t
must redeem, the U. N. owes
nearly 1896 million.
There is sure to be a great
deal Of dramatic public hand
wringing about that fact.
Temporary Relief Sought
Private soundings in advance
of the session, however, have
persuaded key delegations that
the problem cannot be solved
In the present political climate.
They therefore have decided
in effect to shelve it until the
fall, meanwhile trying to work
out some temporary palliatives.
One immediate necessity is
money to pay the $33 million
which the Congo peace force
will cost, according to present
estimates, between July ] and
December 81, 1868.
The Congo army is being
drastically scaled down, but
will not be withdrawn before
the end Of the year, If then.
Nothing has been appropri-
ated for expenses Of the Congo
force since July /, 1862. Sec
retary- General U Thant has
simply been authorized to go
into the red at the rate Of $40
million a month.
He has used the proceeds
from the 1862 bond issue to
pay charges as they came due.
But this money is due to run
out soon.
Back Dues Are Problem
The basic cause Of all the
U. MS financial troubles Is
that the Soviet bloc, which
owes roughly $63 million in
back dues. continues adamant
in refusing to pay them.
The Russians will not be In
q position to lose their Assem-
bly, vote until January 1, 1864,
when their arrears will total
more than the equivalent of
two years assessments.
At that time, Western diplo-
mats hope for a break in the
deadlock. They are willing to
bide their time until then.
As Of now. the United States
does not have the votes to
force q showdown-and WIN.
The small-power majority of
the Assembly has offered, in
effect, to sell Washington its
votes, but at a prohibitive price
involving permanent assump-
ton by the United States Of
so per cent or more Of the
cost Of future U. N. peace
keeping operations.
This price the United States
has not been willing to pay.
