SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4, 1958 A I I I PAGE 3 GIVING A HAND TO THE HANDICAPPED Three children of the Beacon Foundation for the Mentally Retarded are shown here learning to use their hands on instruction. With patience and love, the children can" learn the simple procedures of life. Cooperative School Planned For Mentally Retarded By JOHN RIDDICK The Beacon Foundation and the University of Arizona are beginning a cooperative school to help mentally retarded people. Jhere is nothing else quite like It in the country, says Dr. David Smith, head of the special 'education program in the Education College of the university.

For the first time, the forces of within a university walk together with a foundation into the community itself to bring light to dimmed minds. A house at 1014 E. 5th St. is being fixed up by the university and the Beacon Foundation plans to move in next week. This foundation, which is unique in the Southwest, was formed here over two years ago through the concern of parents.

From its beginning with four children, it now cares for 18 who until now have been trained in classrooms at the Mountain View Presbyterian Church. The director of the school is Mrs. Helen B. Keeling who this week was named "Woman of The Year" in Tucson. "We will train the mentally retarded for life not in a ccVony but in the community," Smith said.

"In the future, we will work with them through the juvenile to the At the same time, the university will be using the school to train its own students in education of the handicapped. "It's a wide open field," Smith said. "For teachers to be effective in training retarded children in public schools, they should be exposed to children in this group." The public schools care for children with IQs down to the 50 level in special classrooms. The Beacon Foundation is concerned with those in the 25 to 50 IQ group which are not capable in general of going to school. They make up roughly 2 per adult group for whom we hope to I cent of the total population with have a fall." sheltered workshop next WORK AND RELAXATION Ike Prepares Message For Congress Opening GETTYSBURG, Eisenhower arranged a schedule mixing work with relaxation at his home today--on the last weekend before Congress reconvenes.

Informed sources said Eisenhower is expected to approve, today or tomorrow, one, or possibly two persons, for key positions with the new six-member Civil Rights Commission. Commission chairman John A. Hannah yssterday delivered to the White House recommendations for the post of commission vice chairman, and for the job of. staff director.

Discussing the golf situation yesterday, Presidential secretary James C. Hagerty said that even though Eisenhower has not played over a regulation course since his latest illness, the President has practiced some shots on the White House lawn on 8 or 10 occasions. Hagerty added that the President has not yet been to his favorite golf course at Burning Tree Club in Maryland, near Washington because of cold weaiher and the press of business. The President has been at Gettysburg since Dec. 27, except for the overnight stay at the White House from which he returned In addition to meeting with the Civil Rights Commission yesterday, he also conferred with the cabinet and other top officials on the ISM-SS budget, and on the State of the Union Message.

in a ceremony in Los Angeles. The Rt. Rev. Eric F. Bloy, bishop of the diocese of Los Angeles, will officiate at the ordina- minds that will forever stop at the 5 to 7-year age.

Smith expects the new school to draw more graduate students to the university and at the same time that research will show better ways to help the mentally handicapped. "Many of these children have been rejected and their potential is underrated," he said. "The program calls for teaching parents of the mentally retarded as well as the children. "We arc trying to take some of the burden of the parents and develop a deeper appreciation of the child," Smith said. Jack M.

Nevins, Foundation president, added, "Parents have to learn love and acceptance. The mentally retarded can learn to live normal lives. We are trying to get parents to bring these children out of the clothes closets and attics and help make them self-sufficient." In each case, the Beacon Foundation requires that parents actually spend time with the children in the school as well as pay the $10 per month tuition. A system has been worked out between the parents and the volunteer workers to teach the mentally retarded those simple things that others take for granted. They learn to distinguish colors so that they can walk about the lion ceremony in St.

Chris A. R'eilly AMBULANCE SERVICE Dignified Funeral Services Have Been Conducted Bids To Be Opened On Road At The Gap FLAGSTAFF--OB-Bids will be opened in Phoenix Jan. 16 by the Arizona Highway Commission for work on 3.4 miles of U.S. Highway 89 near The Gap north of Flagstaff. Cost of the project is estimated at $584,000.

Proposed PHOENIX A proposal to increase benefits for jobless workers and cut employers' unemployment taxes will be discussed at a meeting next Friday of the Employment Security Commission and its nine-member advisory board. Bruce Parkinson, director of the unemployment compensation division of the ESC, said Friday the meeting had been called to "work out some sort of agreement" between the council and the Commission. The Commission actually recommends legislation, upon the advice of the advisory council. The council called for a new biTl at a Dec. 8 meeting that would hike the weekly maximum unemployment pay for workers to 45 per cent of the average weekly wage in the state.

That would mean a top benefit now of about $37. Present maximum is $30. The council also proposed that the average unemployment tax charged to some 13,000 Arizona employers be reduced from the current 1.3 per cent of the first $3,000 earned to 1.25 per cent. That could mean a savings of about $250,000 yearly. The lower taxes and higher benefits would be possible, the council said, because the ESC's reserve fund is one of the healthiest in the nation.

Cut In Wage, Hour Bookkeeping Advised WASHINGTON--(IP)--Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell has proposed easing the bookkeeping chores of firms holding government contracts in excess of $10,000. These firms now are required to retain wage and hour records of employes for at least four years. Mitchell yesterday proposed cutting this time to three years. Interested persons will have until Jan.

17 to submit their views to him. AEC Moving To New Offices Under Heavy Armed Guard WASHINGTON Wi Armed guards rode with hush-hush documents today as the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) moved to its new headquarters 30 miles from Washington. The AEC began last night what has been unofficially called the biggest single moving job in the history of the nation's capital. It involves transferring about 6 million pounds of AEC supplies and equipment ranging from typewriters, desks and wastebaskets to piles of secret documents concerning A-bombs and H-bombs --to a new $13 million building in rustic Germantown, Md. The shift is costing an estimated Between now and the morning of Jan.

14, a moving firm expects to haul 275 vanloads from AEC's present two buildings in downtown Washington. It will be a round- the-clock job. APPEAL SLATED Finley Convicted Of Attacking Widow A guilty verdict returned yesterday against Claude Richard Finley, tried for raping a widow more than twice his age, will be appealed, his defense attorney said. The Superior Court jury of 10 and 2 women deliberated two and 'one-half hours before reaching the verdict late yesterday afternoon. Finley, 21, of 4525 E.

Bermuda will be sentenced by Judge Robert Tullar at 9:15 a.m. Thursday. He showed no emotion when the verdict was read ending his four-day trial for the rape of a 44-year-old Tucson woman on the night of Nov. 2. Defense Atty.

Douglas Howard said he would appeal the verdict on two legal points. One of them was that a 17-year- old California girl, allegedly raped by the defendant in October, was permitted to testify. Howard said her testimony concerning the incident, purportedly to have occurred while Finley was visiting her Los Angeles home, was "prejudicial" to the defendant. At the time of the girl's testimony Thursday, Howard strongly objected. Tullar overruled the ob- jection, however, and the attractive blonde was allowed to take the stand.

The second basis for appeal enumerated by Howard was what he termed "numerous incidents of hearsay testimony" from state's witnesses called during the four- day trial. On the conviction, Finley can be sentenced to from five years to life imprisonment when he comes before Tullar Thursday. Deputy County Atty. Paul Rees represented the state in the trial. Card Of Thanks We wish to express our sincere thank's nnd appreciation to Dr.

Baldwin and the entire staff nt St. Mary's Hospital for the kindness extended to us during the illness and death of our husband and father. Mrs. Roy L. Saxon and family The secret documents constitute only a fraction of the total weight to be moved--30 to 40 tons of the 3,000 ton total.

But, if piled one on top of the other, the documents would reach a height of possibly 2,500 feet-almost five times as high as the Washington monument. The secret material is being transported in safes with combination locks, or in double-packed sealed cartons. One of AEC's security guards rides beside the driver in each van containing such material, and another follows in an automobile. Each guard wears a pistol. The new building which will house these documents is designed, through its remoteness and strong construction, to withstand the blast if an H-bomb were dropped on Washington 30 miles away.

An AEC official has said that even if the Capital were hit with "the worst thermonuclear bomb we could think of," the building in Germantown would withstand the shock. The building also is equipped with electronic and electrical devices designed to safeguard its secrets. Until an additional wing is completed at Germantown, about next September, some 225 employes will continue work at a building here. The AEC will maintain permanently a small number of offices and other facilities at that building--including a public hearing room, and a room for storing jdocuments having to do with regulatory matters. The move tp Germantown will mean that some of AEC's 1,600 employes will travel-as much as 80 miles a day roundtrip.

About 700 of them will report for work at Germantown Tuesday. To lighten employes' traveling problems, the AEC has arranged to subsidize transportation covering 13 routes between the new building and downtown Washington and suburban Virginia and Maryland. Faras will vary with the distance from Germantown, with a maximum cost of $1 a day for each round trip. An AEC man said that will mean a saving of about $1 a day, compared with unsubsidized transportation, for those who travel tht farthest. An AEC spokesman said that at one time it was estimated move might mean the resignation of up to 30 per cent of the commission's employes.

But so far, he said, only 89 workers--about per cent--have resigned lor that specific reason.
