White House Panel Urges Wider Role For Schools BANGKOK, Thailand, Sept. 12 ffl The Fulbright Foundation has changed its name to the Thailand-United States Educational Foundation because the Arkansas Senator's name is a dirty word to leaders of the Thai government.

school costs should be shared by the Federal Government, the state government and the school districts. In Missouri, the report said, "state support is low in relation to the national average, both as a per cent of school revenue and in dollars per pupil. For this school year, the estimated 34.5 per cent of the revenue receipts of Missouri school districts is provided by the state compared with 40.8 per cent from state sources in the nation as a whole. Missouri provides on the average $240 per pupil in state school funds, compared with the national average of $332 per pupil." The conferees urged immediate increases in state aid to learner." Another statement, which was not necessarily contingent on the spending of money, was that "the unnecessarily high drop-out rate of new teachers is strongly attributable to the frustrations they experience in adopting to the realities of the classroom without adequate support, encouragement or assistance from within the school districts and 1 if any, contributions to their on-the-job growth from their 'parent' or nearby teacher preparation school."

Others, it was suggested in the report, could save money for the state.

Some of the recommendations, which were compiled after a series of meetings and opinion-gathering sessions throughout the state, have to do with reorganization and better planning within existing programs and agencies to make them more efficient. The committee encouraged more community involvement in social issues and the formation of student and civic groups that could help in areas where not enough professionals were available. Other suggestions involved centralizing services. In recommending a i 1 public welfare agency, for children, the committee said that it wouljj "make for more efficient use of the tax dollar and man-powe while eliminating dupli-catiojs and gaps in services." -Day-Care Programs Th committee called for re-empjsis in some programs.

It was recommended that the state money be distributed on the basis of school district enrollments. The committee strongly favored changing state laws to allow passage of school tax levies and bond issues by a simple majority, instead of the presently required two-thirds vote.

The report said that Missouri was one of only seven states that has such high voting requirements. The committee cautioned, however, against too much reliance on property taxes. "Missouri as a state has a much greater taxing potential than local communities since the state has access to both the income tax and the sales tax which are more directly related to taxpaying ability than the property tax," the report said.

The committee favored sex education in schools, and recommended that it be part of a family life education course that would begin in the lower grades. "Ideally, preparation for responsible parenthood begins in very early childhood. Many of today's parents, however, failed to receive the kind of sex education that enables them to pass on wholesome attitudes about sex to' their children," the report said. Another recommendation, for more efficient use of 1 buildings, was that "public school facilities should be required by statute to be available on a year-round basis for recreation purposes, with the schooi districts being required to add no less than five cents to the school tax per $100 of assessed valuation for the purpose of funding recreation programs." The committee said that, the buildings should be used by the community, as well as students, and that academic programs, including adult education, should be planned in addition to recreation.

The agency has taken steps to cancel the five-year-old permit to the Continental Summit Television Corp. to build and operate a station on Channel 24.

Vincent B. Welch, Washington attorney and president of Continental Summit, said that his firm was seeking a buyer to take over the permit. The firm will ask the FCC to extend the construction permit and give it another chance, either to put the station on the air or sell it, Welch said. No Work Started Continental Summit received the construction permit on April 2, Until now, Welch said, no construction has taken place. He said that the company had selected a site at Ken-rick Seminary and had drawn up construction plans.

Welch said that his firm had built a station at San Jose, about three years ago, and had learned from that experience that "tlTis is a very expensive business with extreme losses." espaSally at the elementary school level.
