AIDES ago = are once again evok-
ing spirited discourse and differ
ences of opinion in Arizona and
many other parts of the country
No longer is the nine-months
school year taken for granted
Neither is the 12-year program
of elementary and secondary edu'
cation.
Economics is one of the factors
giving rise to talk of change
With quality education costing
more and more, and the state oi
| the world such that nothing less
than quality education is gooc
enough, numbers of people are
asking: ''Why not keep the
schools open longer than nine
months? Why let them lie un
used for fourth of each year?''
The average school year in the
United States is 1870 days. That
is, children actually are in schOo
1870 days out of every 365. In sew.
eral European countries the to-
tai is over 200, although in some
instances children take off early
in the afternoon, yet are credited
with a day in school. The Rus,
sian school year is 230 days ano
the school day is about an hour
longer than ours. ~
In 1858 poll of school superin
tendents showed IS per cent oi
them favoring a longer schoo
year. Another 80 per cent, most
ly from rural areas, opposed
any extension.
That superintendents and par
ents do not necessarily see eye
to eye on the subject was made
evident in 1861 when Gallup
Poll showed 70 per cent of par
ents against a longer schoo
year. High school students poll
ed on the change voted GA pei
cent against it.

With the longer school day anc

years of elementary and second

Fines, let grades II and IL become

UNITED NATIONS, Dec. {
(AP).-The U. N. General As
sembly approved yesterday q
resolution favoring lf-deter-
mination and independence for
Portugal's African colonies. The
vote was e1-2 with IL Austen
tons, including the United
States.
The resolution asks the Sc
curity Council to implement q
resolution adopted by the coun-
Gil July 81.
The resolution says Portugal
should end what it called re-
preston in its territories, rec
ognize their right to self
determination, negotiate with a
view to transferring power and
then grant independence as
soon as possible.
The General Asse bly's
Trusteeship Committee adopted
the resolution last week. 87-3
with II abstentions, most Of
them NATO powers.
That vote had led many Of
the IS African, Asian and
Soviet delegates sponsoring the
resolution to criticize the NATO
powers for what was described
as placing more Importance In
Portugal, a NATO ally, than
in the cause Of African free
dom.
The United States explained
that it supported independence
for African colonial territories,
but abstained because the reso-
luton wasn't worded properly.

the fiscal 1865 deficit would be

White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger pointed up the
fluidity Of the budget situation
yesterday. when he told re-
porters Mr.. johnson was aim

So Billion Cut Denied
Mr.. Salinger announced this

the President had told a meet

that he hopes to cut the new
budget to So billion under what
the late President Kennedy
would have proposed.

Mr.. johnson as aiming at
the So billion reduction in an
effort to gain support for tax
cuts. admitted later he had
"goofed."

that the President did not use
any such figure.

who oppose cutting taxes at q
time Of budget deficits.
Mr.. Kennedy felt the same
way. At the time of his death,
he had started trimming budget
requests sharply.
One congressional source, in
fact. disputed the idea that Mr..
Kennedy had agreed to let
spending rise to SOL billion,
This source said Mr.. Kennedy
realized fiscal 1865 spending
had to be held below 500 bill
lion to save the tax bill.
Congress Impressed
Mr.. Johnson has impressed
influential members of Con-
greSs with his determination to
hold spending down. He and
Treasury Secretary Dillon have
persuaded many Of the skeptics
that his pledges Of frugality are
not just talk.
One key to the new budget
will be Mr.. Johnson's decisions
on the space program. He has
been a leading advocate Of a
big space effort. but he will
have to trim spending requests
in that area to hold the budget
down.
Even at SOL billion, the
increase in spend
ing would be less than during
the Kennedy administration.

document said.
The decree deals only with
Roman Catholic worship, but
it emphasizes the Importance
Of Scripture In liturgy and
advocates more preaching.
Scripture and preaching are
strongly emphasized by Prot
estants. Some non-Catholics
feel catholicism does not pay
sufficient attention to them.
An introduction to the de-
cree notes that major reforms,
except those Of a general ma
ture. apply only to the Roman
rite. which uses Latin. The
Catholic Church has several
rites, including the Byzantine
and Armenian. The decree de-
clares that all rites are Of
equal right and dignity"
A council press office back
ground paper estimated it
would take seven to 10 years
to implement the liturgical re-
forms.
Communication Centers
The decree on mass commu-
nications proposes creation of
Catholic press and communi-
cation centers in Rome and
around the world to spread the
church's message. 1t also calls
on civil authorities to protect
the free flow Of information.
Pope Paul told the council
the decree was IAN indication
of the capacity Of the church
to unite the interior and ex-
terror life. contemplation and

The Pope said he hoped the
councils next session. conven-
ing in September, would bring
a conclusion to the questions
of divine revelation, episcopal
papal power. and the place Of
the Virgin Mary in the church.
All three are key issues still
awaiting Council action.
He said he would see to it
that council commissions re-
these questions and
other matters before the coun-
Gil during the ne-month re-
cess. He said he wanted the
commissions to present the
next session Of the council with
'schemata (topics) which are
short and so worded that it will
not be difficult to obtain a
