Spends Good Night
After Transmission;
Pain Is Admitted

VATICAN CITY, May 20
(AP) Pope John XIII rail-
lied today. The Vatican an
nounced the Pope showed a
clear improvement in his over
all condition after a restful
night, but it was clear he re-
manned in grave condition.
The 81 year old Roman
Catholic Pontiff spent "a night
of tranquil repoSe, during
which he did not need assist
ance," a communique said, and
he looked better in the day
light hours.
The communique, published
by the Vatican newspaper
L'Osservatore Romano, said
the Pope's doctor left him after
an examination at 10 am, and
did not plan TO return until
this evening.
The phrasing was cautious,
making it clear that the Pom
tiff's condition remained grave.
Not in Coma
The communique said Pope
Johns mind was clear and
that he never was unconscious,
even in the acute moments of
crisis"
1t was the first time the
Vatican ever said officially that
the Pope had gone through a
crisis. Apparently he has gone
through several in the last six
months. the worst yesterday.
A massive blood TRANSMISSION
then enabled him to survive
hemorrhaging caused by an
abnormal stomach growth that
has bothered him for a year.
After that narrowing day. the
word from inside the Vatican
was: only a miracle can save
him"
In advance of the issuance
of today's communique, the
Vatican press office said Pope
John spent a good night and
felt slightly better this morning
Roman Physician Stays
For the eighth straight night
the Pope's Roman physician.
DR.. Piero Mazzoni, had stayed
with him in the Apostolic
Palace. But his chief personal
physician, Prof. Antonio Gas:

call at the Vatican. This was
an indication the Pope was feel
ing improved. Vatican authori-
ties said he looked rested.
However, any improvement
was only relative to the crisis
he suffered yesterday, when
he was at deaths door.
The communlque said:
AFTER a night of tranquil

for the immediate suspension

To Maintain Contact
Secretary Rusk emphasized
the United States intends to
keep the subject of a nuclear
test ban alive"
He said he attaches special
importance to maintaining con-
tact with the Soviet Union
during the deciSion-making
time ahead for the Kremlin,
he said. not only to explore
possibilities for a test ban, but
for other possible agreements.
Technical talks on the null
ti-lateral nuclear force pro-
posed by the United States are
to be resumed with Britain, Mr..
Rusk confirmed, and Joint con-
situations among others in
terested are also planned.
The Secretary suggested Po-
land heed the plea by the So
Wet Union and the United
Kingdom for supporting a cease
fire and establishment of an
independent. neutral Laos. The
Warsaw government, he sug-
gested, may have been misin-
formed by representatives on

BY EARL H. VOSS
Star Staff Writer

No atmospheric nuclear tests
are planned by the United
States "for the immediate
future" Secretary of State
Rusk disclosed today, but he
speculated that the Soviet
Union may be planning such
a series soon.
A proposal by "a Senators
that the United States withhold
atmospheric testing until the
Soviet Union resumes nuclear
shots in the atmosphere is
more theoretical than prac-
teal" because this country does
not plan any such tests soon,
Secretary Rusk told a confer
ence with newsmen.
The Secretary said he was
familiar with speculation the
Soviet Union might resume
nuclear tests in the atmos-
phere. He said he had wondered
why Russia has been so re-
luctant to talk in detail about
arrangements for on-site in
spection in the proposed nu-
clear test ban.
Moscow Meetings Cited
One reason, Mr.. Rusk said,
could be a Soviet intention to
resume testing; another might
be that the Soviet leaders be-
lieve serious negotiations un-
timely because Of the important
meetings of Soviet and Chinese
Communist leaders in Moscow
IN June and July.
Mr.. Rusk ruled out any pos
sibility for a summit confer
ence of President Kennedy,
Premier Khrushchev and Brit
ish Prime Minister Macmillan
on the nuclear test problem
until there is some forward
movement in the negotiations.

Fiscal Disaster,

Pleas for Money

Years Of pennypinching have
given the Districts children a
dilapidated and overcrowded
public school system, a joint
House-Senate committee was
told today.
The president of the Board
Of Education, Wesley S. Will
liams, said the situation is
reaching the point Of disas-
ter. :"
The testimony by school Of
ficials was given at a hearing
on the city's revenue needs.
The hearing, on specific rev.

Quoted by subcommittee Of the
House and Senate District
Committees.
School officials were ques-
toned closely on their state
mentS of need by several House
-committe members.
"Time Is Overdue"
In his statement, Mr.. VIII
liams said.
THE gist of our testimony
today is that the time for in
suring a good school system is
overdue in the District of Co
lumbia."
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen
tried to. drive home the position
Of school officials that the sys-
tenn is in desperate straits with
some graphic statements and
a flood of statistics.
At one point. DR.. Hansen
said. after stating that $4,000
students have attended school
on halliday schedules in the
last seven years:
These are children who live
in our city today, who will carry
the scars of inadequate training,
generally invisible, all the rest
of their lives, and in many
cases, pass on their heritage
of ignorance to the next gen.
Grafton.
IF these children suffered
from disease, the Congress
would rise in its love of hu-
manity to be Of help to them
but it is slow as yet to
see that the greatest disease
of all is ignorance, the enemy
of man through recorded his
tory"
Compares Reductions
The superintendent's statis-
tics showing cuts in past years
Of spending requests by the
Board of Education was quickly
pounced on by Representative
Whitener, who heads the House
District subcommittee.
Mr.. whitener. Democrat of
North Carolina, made the point
that these statistics showed
that Congress had cut the
classroom budget proposals from
the District Commissioners less
than the Commissioners re-
ductions in spending proposals
from the Board Of Education.
Representative Multer, DEM
ocrat of New York, tried to
defend the Commissioners by
stating that they must make
budget proposals from the basis
of overall need for the District.
The same holds true for Con-
gress in its decisions on Gov
ernment's spending of requests,
Mr.. Whitener replied.
Stresses Wide Gap
DR.. Hansen was prompt to
say that he was not attempt
ing to blame either the Dis
trict Building or the Capitol.

If we are going to eliminate

We need to get in direct

Also, we need to remind
these would-be drop-outs Of

They owe it to themselves and

If each of us will devote q
'ew hours, one day, or more,

many. You can help and your

you reach.
