President Kennedy has writ
ten heads of boards of educa-
ton and colleges over the coun-
try urging q massive effort
against the school dropout
problem this summer.
The letter, which went to
some $500 educators, was read
today by Commissioner Of Ed
ucation Francis Keppel to a
meeting of school men and
welfare officials from around
the Nation, called to discuss
ways Of keeping young people
in school.
Whether there is a signifi-
cant reduction in dropouts
when schools resume in the fall
will depend in great measure
on your efforts in your own
community" the President
wrote.
Recalls Suggestion
Mr.. Kennedy recalled that
at an earlier meeting of educa-
tors at the White House, it was
recommended that he write
to local school and college au-
thorities personally and seek
their help in solving civil rights
problems. Also at the meeting
it was urged that a massive.
Nationwide effort be under
taken this summer to persuade
youngsters to return to school
in September.
"As you know so WELL" the
President wrote, this is a
problem which affects both
white and Negro students and
their families. 1t Is of par
ticular significance because Of
the lack Of job opportunities
for inadequately trained youth
and the explosive situation In

Kennedy Plan
For Shelters F..
Clears Hurdle
BY the Associated Press

A Kennedy administration
plan to provide public fallout
shelters for II million Ameri-
cans has cleared its first con-
gressional hurdle. but it's
hackers conceded there are
many more ahead.
A House Armed Services
subcommittee yesterday APP
proved unanimously the con-
cept Of the administration bill,
but Chairman Hebert said the
measure will be rewritten in
ultra tight" language before
1t Is sent to the House.
Mr.. Hebert said, he is con-
WINGED that when Congress gets
all the facts about the fallout
threat that would be posed in
time Of nuclear attack the
measure will be approved. His
subcommittee has taken testi-
mony from 108 witnesses dur
ing 7 weeks of hearings.
Officials concerned with the
program acknowledge that even
If it passes the House the
chances for Senate approval
are dim.
Mr.. Herbert said the pro-
gram will be a one-year meas
ure. If it works, he said, the
administration can seek ex-
banded authority next year.
Key features of the admin
istration proposal are:
A requirement that shelters
be Incorporated in all build
ings owned or used by the
Federal Government. That
would produce an estimated
million shelters during the cur
rent fiscal year. 7
A SITS million system Of In
centive payments to spur
shelter construction in public
and non-profit institutions.
A five-year shelter effort,
aimed at meeting the overall
national need for fallout pro-
lection, would cost about S2.l
billion.

RECREATION CENTER RELEASE
DON'T CRITICIZE UTILIZE YOUR ENTER
BY Lionel A. Roberts
Asst. Sports Promoter
The Recreation Center which is now in full operation
and open to all citizens from 6 to 90.
1t has been the misconception of the adult group that
+baca recreational facilities are not for them, but this is de-
finitely not true.
Instead of giving in to the tendency OF criticizing your
Bureau without knowing what it has to offer, it would be
well if more people visit the Center and encourage their
children and relatives to attend. This would be a major con-
tribution in helping to keep our younger cltzens OH the
streets. They get an opportunity to compete with each other
in good clean games, rather than under a lamp post with
dice.
Considerable amount Of thought, planning and money
has gone into our new Recreation Center building and its
activities. You too can participate but most OF all before crl-
ticismS are made won't you please see the activities first hand,
When you do, we would appreciate any and all constructive
ideas which you may have.
On the Main Floor:
There are three ping-pong tables table tennis, medium size
pool table, domino tables, and checkers. There are also three
new games: Kikit Nok Hockey and Carrom.
on the Second Floor:
There is a television set, magazine racks, card games and
other quiet forms of activity. We also show training films on
baseball and reviews of the World Series games.
In the Yard Area:
Badminton, paddle tennis, SWITCHBOARD, horseshoe pitch and
there is also a senior size TampOIn.
Our Hours Of Operation are;
Monday to Friday 2;sO pm. 700 pm. for Children up to
l6 years old and from 100 pm. to 10 pm. for adults.
Saturday and holidays, 900 am. to noon and from 200
