n. '4- I By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL PHILADELPHIA Wl President Eisenhower declared today that America is on a crusade for peace but can never accept Russian wrongs to men and nations in an eagerness to avoid war. In a prepared address to the American Bar he voiced confidence that the Geneva summit conference spells opportunity to advance toward a peace based on justice and security. Can we achieve that sort of peace? he asked.

I think we can. Yet, without naming the Soviet Union, he said the division of Germany, the domination of captive countries and the use of international subversion are violations of the rights of men and nations. They probably result, he said, from a compound of suspicions and fear. But he added quickly: That explains. It cannot excuse.

In justice to others and to ourselves, he said, we can never accept those wrongs as a part of the peace that we desire and seek.

UP) Ken- tuckya Education Department announced today 144 independent and county school district will share $8,361,104 of state aid under the equalization program in the 1955-56 school year. The money will be distributed under a formula of the foundation education program enacted by the 1954 Legislature. Last year, the first under the new act, 146 districts shared $8,367,266. The amount set aside for each of the two years was $8,573,000.

The difference between that and the total distributed was retained by the state, in a contingency fund, -It will provide for thehigher cost of education resulting from additional teacher training. The equalization money is in addition to $26,212,500 in state aid that went out to all 224 public school districts in June on the basis of the number of children in the school census. The equalization program was designed to bring poorer districts up toward the state level. The allotments announced today for local districts, are tentative. Final allotments will be made on or before next March 1.

Harlan, Pik Gat Most The 1954 Legislature directed that distribution of the $26,212,500 in each of the school years falling in the present two-year budget period be under the old per capita system, despite enactment of the foundation program. The program wasnt fully financed either of the two years. 1 It was made possible by repeal of section 186 of the state constitution which required that at least 75 per cent of -state common school funds be distributed by the per capita system. This now could be changed by the Legislature. The foundation law provides that districts qualifying for state equalization funds draw the money on the basis of determined need, considering classroom units, which are based on average daily attendance and transportation units The equalization fund for each (Please Turn to Page Seven) Girl Drowns In Swimming Pool LOUISVILLE, Ky.

"Justice Under Low" Eisenhower extolled Marshall as a foremost leader in developing and maintaining the liberties of the people of the United States, as a man whose decisions "made of the Constitution a vital, dynamic, deathless charter for free and orderly living He said he will appoint nobody to the federal judiciary who dill not --serve in the tradition- of -Marshall In general, the presidential speech took a somewhat unruffled, philosophical approach to global rather than domestic problems, drawing lessons from the career of Marshall The famed chief justice, he said was patient; tireless mnderstand-mg, logical, persistent and a crusader in the cause of interpreting the Constitution "to achieve ordered liberty and justice under law Now, he said, America need to exercise, in the crusade for peace, the qualities of John Marshall. Peace and security for all can be established for the fearful, for the oppressed, for the weak, for the strong. But this can be done only if we stand uncompromisingly for principle, for great issues, with the fervor of Marshall with the zeal of the crusader. Won't "Soil Out" At the Geneva Big Four meeting last month, he said, the American delegation asserted then and we shall always hold that there can be no true peace which involves acceptance of a status quo in which we find injustice to many nations, repressions of human beings on a gigantic scale, and with constructive effort paralyzed in many areas by fear.
