1.3 million shares for full session. The bleak outlook for labor peace in the steel and coal Industries, plus a growing fear the world-wide currency devaluation may have-an unfortunate effect on the earning capacity of some concerns, were credited with creating the selling pressure. Among the losers were U. 8. Steel, Bethlehem Steel, Youngstown Sheet, General Motors, Chrysler, Studebaker, U.

S. Rubber, Sears Roebuck, International Harvester, Zenith Radio, American Telephone, International Telephone, American Smelting, Allied Chemical, Santa Fe, N. Y.

Would Break Aid Deadlock New York (AP) A jilan to break the deadlock over' federal aid to education in congress was proposed Tuesday by the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America.

The council- represents 87 Protestant and orthodox faiths with a membership of 29 million. Under the council's plan, direct aid to schools' and the supplying of welfare services would be han died as separate issues, each to be decided on its own merits. We urge that prompt provision be made for federal aid for the maintenance of public schools," he council's executive" committee said in the resolution announcing the plan. It added that this should be done "with assurance that in its administration there should be no discrimination on account race." On the other hand, the council suggested that welfare services for school children receive-open-minded consideration from congress and such services should be handled by a public agency other than the schools. School aid bills in congress have been held up since the beginning of the session last ly over the issue of aid to para chlal schools.

Members opposing federal trans portation and welfare funds for parochial schools say it would vio late the separation of church and state called for in the constitution Their opponents claim that not to supply the funds would be dis criminating against children. BOAT RIDE is another new feature of the State Fair's kiddle-ride section. Take Glimpse Into Future Hutchinson may have a school enrollment of 7,850 by 1870, Eldridge Loveless of the Bartholemew city planners, told the school joard Monday night. Loveless said that this is a pre- iminary estimate, based on a forecast that Hutchinson will have a population of by 1970. Double-checking and revisions of these estimates will be msde In the weeks to come.

The figure does not include Junior College enroll ment. This would be an increase of 1,843 students over the enrollment figures Sept. 8 this year. As seen by board members this survey shows three things: 1. As the school population is evidently going to increase, plans must be made within a few years meet the need.

2. This might mean that the school system would have to be planned on the. basis of 30 students per classroom instead of 25 as now. 3. Biggest problem will be the junior high schools which will need 55 classrooms, according to the survey, as against 45 in use now.

Especially will this be true the Liberty area, as the town growing to the north. A deci sipn on what to do about this big expected increase may have to be made before have passed. many more years The senior high school with 45 classrooms should be able to handle any load at present foreseen; members felt. The kindergarten and ry schools will need 150 claw- rooms in 1970, the Bartholomew survey shows. At present 109 rooms are in use.

Two new schools, now icing constructed Morgan and McCandless will each add 18 rooms. But 12 rooms at Fourth Avenue school, to be abandoned, and eight at Allen, to be retired, will make a net Increase of This about 35 to be provided sometime in the next 20 rears. Coming from the future to the present, the board next heard a report on construction of the new grade by officials of the WcCrackin and Hiett architectural firm. Otho McCrackin and Russell Hiett and C. M.

Routledge, their construction superintendent, appeared before the board. These men reported that are in at both the W. Y. Mor. gan school, 27th and Adams, and the A.

W. school Seventh and Baker. a I walls and tunnels are completed and floor slabs poured At the Morgan school brickwork Is finished to the top of windows in some of the building. Bricking around the boiler. room is done.

The board told the are unhappy about the slow on the buildings and said they hoped things wouk move faster. They pointed out that much of the furniture been purchased, with the delivery date in January. a member explained, the buildings must be finished many months before school opens next fall if they are properly to be furnished, equipped, and landscap ed.

But what's more important la that Nicholson has his glasses back, too. The Nicholsons were entertain- Ing their grandchildren, David, 8, and Diana, 6, Monday when they saw the duckling waddling down Third, street. The children, naturally, started running toward it. But the startled duckling 'turned and fell into a street, sewer, Nicholson removed a manhole cover to retrieve the duckling while the children cried. No luck.

Then he picked' up David and held him bead tint down the man- hole while David tried to grab the duckling. Still no luck. Then Nicholson went home, got a hoe. and came back to try to fish out the duckling. This time his (lasses slipped off his nose and fell in That waa too much.

Throwing all the wind, Nicholson plunged in and recovered both glasses and duck' ling. David's clothes were dirty, Nicholson's clothes were dirty and hia temper was frayed but the duck ling felt fine. The Nicholsons have no idea where the bird came from but it's the children's pet now.
