Anj old wave of prosperity has a habit of mak- faif a lot of swella. A man will go a long way to save his face. A woman Just goes to the drugstore. More than two million people in America can't speak English. We've heart a lot of them calling, trains.

Commendable Action More and more in late years the nation's great corporations have been rising to an important challenge by stepped up their financial contributions to our hardpressed educational system. Now the tax-free Ford Foundation, whose funds derive from one of the top U.S. industrial fortunes, comes along with a spectacular grant of million to help American colleges raise their teacher's salaries to more respectable levels. This contribution may well serve to inspire America's business leaders to broaden and intensify their aid programs to the schools. And it may plant an idea with the other major foundations, which in recent times have forsaken their earlier habit of making really substantial grants in this field.

No area of American life more urgently requires bold, imaginative Our schools have many problems, of which 'attracting and holding good teachers is but one. Right now Congress is debating how to grapple with some of them. But there is sensible resistance to having the government assume a big part of the burden of supporting out- great independent universities. If government is to be kept out of the picture at this vital level, then we can look only to the foundations and the business community itself for sizeable help. Our educators and many other public figures see danger in general federal assistance, fearing it would mean, incapably, a kind of control destructive of the university's highest aims.

One of these goals is maintenance of the freedom to explore without restraint, to press the frontiers of knowledge forward in every direction that opens up. The nation's interest would seem to demand that this freedom be kept. Thus the foundations and corporations help to keep it can be said to serve the country's finest purposes. Even if the problem be viewed from the narrowest self-interest of the corporation, the policy of aid to education appears wise. For business today-'-has.

a greater need than ever for well-trained men, and for the scientific knowledge that grows only when scholars are 'free to explore. VVith superb appreciation of the country's real needs, the Ford Foundation has Struck a blow in too long neglected field. This is the sort of action that should most cornmend tlie foundations to public acceptance. And it should inspire a more courageous meeting of the school problem on other fronts. VIEWS OF OTHERS Uncles Sam's Business The drive to get Uncle Sam out of competition with business has taken another turn.

Now It's Democrats carrying that ball. Arkansas' Senator McOlellan has introduced a bill declaring it to be national policy to eliminate government business-type operations. McClellan's bill is similar to Republican-sponsored legislation which McClellan's bil is similar to Republican-sponsored legislation which found House support last year. But died no the Senate calendar. The bill follows a directive on governemnt competition issued by the Bureau of the Budget of the President.

It may find iteslf caught in the Dixon-Yates dee) squeeze. The McClellan bill, according to the report from Washington, would establish a court of complaint in the Commerce Department to hear grievances from businessmen suffering from government competition. It would require a review by the Budget, of any new business activity proposed by the government. The bill would exempt government business operations established by law, such as the post office and Navy yards. But Sen.

McClellan its a matter of serious Congressional concern when government agencies make rum, ice cream, sleep- ping bags, spectacles, fertilizer, helium, false teeth, maps, lumber, rubber, paint, aluminum, blueprints and even furniture. Nor does he like in the least such governmental goings-on as selling insurance, operating hotels and laundries, processing metal scrap, re-treading tires, collecting garbage, washing windows, or hunting for fur-bearing seals. That's quite a trail McClellan's on and amid that smoke there's unquestionably things which private business could handle better and more in the public point (N.C.- Enterprise. Prettier Word Needed A new word has blossomed in the nations' press. It's automation, which has been defined as "doing a job by machinery with a minimum of human assistance also (with) the use of electronic controls to schedule and guide the production process automatically There's nothing essentially new about the process of automation, of course.

It's just the word itself that is new. Man has been devising machines to do the work of manufacturing ever since the industrial revolution. Automation is just the logical perhaps more of the sub-climaxes of the histronic process. Some worrying is going on about automation. This gone on before, too.

They had a word for it 20 years or so ago. It was technological replacing humans in the nations great industrial centers. It hasn't come true at least yet. Machines to replace humans have always given rise to the need for more machines which must be made and operated by men In an endless progression, which has always brought more employment, not less. They might not call It that, but automation has taken giant strides in our own potash mines.

Refineries grind and clank away for 24 hours a day in almost lonely gloom, with only an occassional watchman at a switchboard to see that the work is going properly. Yet, there is more employment, not less, than ever before in potash. Automation is a symbol of the process of free- Ing man from his grinding toil. There ought to be a prettier word for Current Argus. Zoooooooooop! We have been informed that as a consequence of some debate as to whether a Birmingham fireman is due compensation for injuries said to have resulted from his sliding down a firehouse pole, it has been suggested, the pole be done away with.

Our first reaction to this proposal was one of shock. AS well, we thought, do away with checkers and dominoes, or snip ever fighters gallus- es or stuff wads of paper in.his boots. The U. 5. firehouse has become a symbol, and if coachdogs are rare sights on fire wagon seats these days, always there has been comfort in the thought of the round floor hole and the shiny, slippery pole.

One Personnel Board member has suggested slides instead of poles. We take it the reasoning here is that a slide is graduated, doesn't drop straight down, hence the occupational hazard would be reduced. But in firemen's minds, we should think, such an idea would cause visions of youngsters on playgrounds merrily zooooooooooping down amid glee. We can understand how the fire fighters would tend to rebel. Thus arises another-preplexing municipal News.

He's Finally Posted What's His'n Fcfson's Washington Column Half of Nation's Overcrowded Schools Located, in Five States WASHINGTON (NEA) battle in Washington over the U.S. schoolroom shortage is whether the federal government shall contribute much, little or nothing in the way of financial aid to states needing additional school facilities. This subject will be much in the news during March as the House Committee on Education and Labor goes through long hearings on conflicting points of view. This investigation will be before the full 30-member committee, with Chairman Graham A. Barden N.C.) an opponent of federal aid to education, presiding.

The first week will be given over to congressmen who have presented bills on aid to education. There are at least a dozen of these bills in the House, not counting four principal 'Mils in the Senate. The Senate Committee gn Labor and Public Welfare, which handles educational matters, may try to draft a bill and get it passed while the House is still holding hearings. The Senate is much more in favor of federal aid for public schools than the House. The week of the House hearings will be given over to the opponents of federal aid.

As Rep. Ralph Gwinn N.Y.), another opponent of federal school aid put it, "We want to hear from the de-' fendants in this case." Third week of the House hearings will bring out the story of those who favor federal aid, like National Education Association, American Federations of Teachers, and so on. The hearings will close with the views of the Eisenhower administration, which presents the middle ground of small direct school districts for most of the program. The majority report takes the position that there is no state which could not do more to solve Its own shortages. One of the main difficulties is to find where the shortages are.

Any idea that the need is spread evenly across the country is all wrong. Actually, the problem breaks down into three parts: One is taking care of the normal school population growth from year to year. This is 1,500,000 children and they require 50,000 more schoolrooms every year. New school construction has been little more than this the last few years. The second part is unsafe and obsolete school facilities.

This is the biggest part of the problem. Depending on standards used In deciding what an unsafe or obsolete school is, this need is put at from 126,000 more classrooms in the Doctor Says By for NEA Service P. JORDAN, M. D. Questions on childbirth by Caesarean section are alvays particularly interesting.

Why is it not possible 10 have a normal birth after a Caesarean? I have heard that it would cause some kind of rupture. Reader A Caesarean section is the removal of a baby by cutting through the abdominal wall and the womb. It is believed to have acquired its name because Caesar's wife had a child in this manner. The procedure is used on those rather rare occasions when a child cannot be born in the usual manner or when this procedure is necessary to save the life of- the child or the mother. The fact that a cut is made throurh the tissues of the abdomen and through the womb weakens these structures and makes them more likely to yield to pressure in the event of attempted delivery by the normal route on a subsequent occasion.

used to be said that "once a Cacsprean always a Caesarean." But now, I understand, there are some exceptions to this rule, though normal birth hits to be watched particularly carefully if a Caeaarean has been done previously. Are cold shots still considered effective? Mrs. W.L. A Most doctors who rmvo studied the situation do not think so. A few months ago my husband had pains on the left side of tils chest for which he was givrn nltro pills.

The doctor says this angina. What worries me Is that he smokes so much. I wonder if can be adding to his trouble at the age of 72?

Mrs. P.C, A bn.Sftl mclnbo.tr of ,4 per cent in the absence of other I evidence of overactive thyroid gland or toxic goiter is hardly enough to be concerned about. Tf, however, there are definite symp- toms of toxic goiter, rest alone will not be sufficient to correct the i situation. i Recently you had a ques- tion on whether there was a prod' uct which will slow face wrinkles.

Has it any effect on her ability to bear a child in comparison with a fully developed wom- an? J.B. A Except in the rare Instances in which small breasts are a sign of insufficient production of i female hormones there is, so far as I know, no difference in the ability to conceive between a wom- an with small breasts and one with those who has larger ones.

About 9 per cent of the total school population of 30 million youngsters, or around 2,700,000, are now stacked in such overcrowded schools. This is the real school shortage. Dr.

Samuel M. Brownelf, U.S. commissioner of education, says that a new, 27-state survey shows one third of this problem is found in only two states. They are Alabama, which has 330,000 children in overcrowded schoolrooms, and Indiana, which has 365,000, One half of the overcrowding problem, says Dr. Brownell, can be found in five states.

These are Indiana and Alabama plus Mississippi with 150,000 youngsters in overcrowded classrooms, Minnesota with 144,000 and New York with 130,000. This is an interesting New York with a high per capita income, prosperous Indiana and Mississippi towards the bottom.

The story begins on another March night in 1946 when boylsh- looktng, always-happy Jimmy Dunn was handed an Oscar for the best supporting performance by an actor in the 1945 movie hit, "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." It was a big night for Jimmy, the star of some 60 movies ever since 1931, including memorable, heart-tugging scenes with Shirley Temple. An Oscar tor Jimmy Dunni Real Hollywood fame at last!

Jimmy will tell you, "I received a phone call from New York. Would I be Interested in a Philco Playhouse television show? I left the neirt day for New York."
