Guidance students chosen for the federal-state program will be paid $73 a week plus $13 for each dependent while taking the courses.

Money to start the program will be an outright grant. After 1959, however, the states must match these funds dollar for dollar. Louisiana's share of the 1959 allocation is $108,762. Under the expanded vocational education program, Louisiana is scheduled to receive $74,394 in fiscal 1959. The state must match the federal money dollar for dollar.

The new courses, available to youth, adults and older persons, will be designed to develop highly technical skills to meet national defense requirements and to relieve over-worked scipntif-ts and engineers of some of their more routine duties. The fellowship program for graduate students probably will not get underway until the spring of 1959, Designed for wide geographical distribution, it will apply only to colleges that start new graduate courses or expand existing ones to train teachers at the college and university level. Each fellowship is worth $2,000 the first academic year, $2,200 the second, and $2,400 the third. In addition, each fellow receives $400 a year for each dependent while taking courses. For each fellowship, the college or university receives $2,500 a year to cover the cost of educating the fellow.

Fellowship applications will be submitted to the U.S. Office of Education for final selection, after having been previously screened by the educational institutions to which application is made. fMItl J3 Ok 'it Court at the same time the Shreveport lawyers are being eulogized.

The suit originally was filed by Mrs. Florence Kotz Ross, 40, a secretary May 1957, and contended that she was awakened Nov. 5, 1954.

She alleged in the suit that she was seized with acute hysteria when the defendants allegedly broke down her apartment door and flashed lights into her eyes. The incident occurred, it was contended when Di.Maggio went looking for his estranged wife, actress Marilyn Monroe. Sinatra denied participating in the episode. To Start Today A seven-sessinn rwia!

THURSDAY NIGHT IS "Family Night" Shop 9:30 to since 1957 NEW YORK, Sept. 10 lP-Two members of the United Presbyter-Ian Church said today they favor enforcement of integration at the Little Rock. Central High School "with troops and tanks, if necessary." The statement was made by the Rev. Dr.

Eugene Carson Blake, chief administrative officer of the church in this country, and the Revf Dr. Theophilus M. Taylor, presiding officer. They said they drew up the statement in the hope of influencing anyone who has anything to do with the Little Rock situation- including the U. S.

Supreme Court which holds hearings on the case tomorrow. The statement said in part: "We deeply sympathize with the citizens of Little Rock for the anguish that federal police action would bring, especially in view of the century-old conflict. "But there are times when such action may be preferable, not so much to force integration as to enforce rule by law instead of allowing mob rule. It is not reallv a question of iorcing integration, but permiuing American citizens Nepro pupils, in this case to exercise rights legally theirs as members of our democracy." Dr. Blake and Dr.

Taylor declared that the Little Rock school integration crisis presented, in two evils." They continued: "But we believe that enforcing the law of the land as set forth in the Supreme Court desegregation decision, and enforcing it with troops and tanks if necessary, is a lesser evil, however i undesirable, than the alternative Plush little stay-at- home slippers in color- ful, soft leathers 1 accented with gold and I braid!

I I DChkT i i i By MARY ANN PARDUE Of The Tlntfi Washington Staff WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 Louisiana Is slated to receive more than laoo.ooo from Uncle Sam in fiscal 1959 as its Initial share in the mammoth $1 billion, four-year education program adopted by Congress this year, The program has the two-pronsed objective of: encouraging bright students to pursue college courses in science, mathematics, engineering and foreign languages to meet future needs in the fields of science and technology in a world made smaller by greatly accelerated communications and transportation; and '2 quipping teachers to better pre pare students in these fields. As a starter. Congress appropriated $40 million for the school term that is just getting underway.

However, it is unlikely that much of the money will actually get into the hands of state school authorities or individual colleses until after the first of the year, as time will be required to iron out administrative kinks and to develop plans for implementing the program. The program to be launched this year falls broadly into the following four categories: a student loans: grams to elementary and secondary schools for laboratory equipment and other teaching aids, with loans to private schools for the same purpose: new courses in vocational education to meet national defense needs: and guidance tests to identify and develoo special capabilities of. students. TO BE EXPANDED Later, as more funds are made available, the program will be expanded in include a fellowshiD program for graduates who plan to teach in colleges and universities: grants to some institutions of higher learning for expanding their foreign language courses, and also grants to teachers taking those courses; research into such modern teaching aids as television, the results to be published: and improved methods of collecting and distributing education statistics such a the number of classrooms and teachers available and reeded. Louisiana is entitled to $105,125 in eollece loan funds in ITiR-59.

Loans are made through colleges or universities, and students accepted or already enrolled may borrow up to $1,000 a year, but not more than $5,000 during their college careers. To qualify a student must need the money and be in good academic standing. The loan is to be paid off in ten years, starting the year the student leaves college. If a student elects to teach, the loan is reduced by 10 per cent each year he teaches, though not more than 50 per cent all told. Time, up to three years, spent in the armed services is not counted as part of the 10-year repayment period.

Colleges and universities must match the loan funds on a ratio of $1 to every $9 of federal money. These institutions may borrow their share of the money from the federal government, having 15 years in which to repay it. Secondary and elementary schools In Louisiana are slated for 'to be matched by "the state on a 50-50 basis' for equipping and remodeling science laboratories and for other teaching aids in science and modern languages. A loan fund of $55,583 may be drawn on by private schools for this purpose. An additional S2fi.924 has been set 8side for the Louisiana Office of Education for use in administering and supervising this program.

TRAINING COURSES NEEDED Since the success of the entire program hinges to a large degree on identifying and developing the special capabilities of the individual student, intensified training courses will be needed for present and prospective high school guidance counselors. The courses will be offered by colleges and universi- Russian Is Top Man in Chess Meet PORTOROZ. Yugoslavia, Sept. 10 ijpi Mihal Talj of Russia tonight emerged as the number one player in the international chess tournament. The Soviet champion drew with International master James Sher-win in a last round game tonight to finish the tournament with 13.5 points.

Bobby Fischer. 15-year-old American chess champion from New York, drew with Yugoslav grand master Svetozar Grigovic. That result left Grigovic in a firm second place in the final standings with 13 points, while Fischer held fifth place at least temporarily with a final score of 12 points. Fischer's final position will be determined by the outcome of matches not finished tonight, and adjourned until tomorrow. But he seemed almost assured of participation in next year's "tournament of candidates." The players who finish in the first six places will enter the "tournament of candidates" at a still to be specified site next year.

The winner of the "tournament of candidates" gets to challenge world champion Michael Botvinik, of Russia, in 1960. Bletehes, beautifies, MMke Skin Like Velvet."

10 OP. An NAACP attorney today asked a federal court to order the Van Buren School board to carry out its gradual integration plan, halted last week by striking white students who threatened violence against Negroes. U. Simpson Tate of Dallas, regional counsel for the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People, contended in a suit filed in U.S.

District Court at nearby Fort Smith, that the school board had in effect shown approval of the student boycott by not taking action against it. Tate also asked for a temporary injunction which he said would return 13 Negroes to the 635-pupil school until a ruling could be made on the suit. A hearing on the injunction request is expected to be held Sept. 19, the day U.S. District Judge John E.

Miller returns to Fort Smith from a court session at Harrison, Ark. Negro leaders have indicated the Negro children wouldn't try to return to scnool before court action is taken. They have stayed away since Thursday. Most of the 45 white students who staged the boycott have returnet to classes. Tate failed in an attempt Monday to have Judge Miller declare the school board in contempt of court for not enforcing integration.

Miller said he had no remaining jurisdirtion over a suit filed by Tate which led to integration at Van Buren last year. The suit was dismissed after the school board and Negro plaintiffs agreed on a gradual integration plan.
