Whi'e he was at' it, Hoover -attacked the methods in general of federal "grants-in-aid," which cover projects like hospitals, roads and social security. The former President gave his views in a letter made public by Rep.

McConnell (R-Pa). As Senior Republican on the house education and labor committee, McConnell had asked Hoover for his ideas on a $300,000,000 a year aid to education bill that passed the senate hast month. The senate bill provides for grants to all states under a formula varying aid from $5 to a pupil bases on economic calculations. Hoover said the basis for any such law instead should be establishment of education standards to be attained. A subcommittee has approved a bill that carries about the same' amount but differs in detail from the senate measure.

Hoover summed up his thoughts this way: "What we need in the national interest is to bring the backward states up to the national level of educational care for children and preserve the nation from the evils inherent in the 'grants-in-aid' system." He said some of the effects of his recommendations would be to cut the cost from $300,000,000 to around $150,000,000, reduce expenses of federal and state government by preventing unnecessary bureaucratic expansion, and "keep the camel's head out of probably 80 per cent of the nation's education tents." L. A. (Lou) ip ja EVERY YES! A NEW DILL GIVEN Father-in-law-Held In Death Of Woman Murder charges will be filed against Jesse Finkes. 51, of Mc- row, near Latrobe, before Justice of the Peace Frank C. Herring, Latrobe.

as a result of the fatal shooting of his daug r-in-law. Mrs. Marie Finkes. state police from the Greensburg detail reported. Mrs.

Finkes' husband. Andrew C. Finkes. told investigating officers that he believed the shot from the calibre revolver fired by his father had been intended for him. The elder Finkes came to Claysburg last week for several days.

As reported in Saturday's Tribune the Andrew Finkes returned to Latrobe from Claysburg on Friday night. They were accompanied James Mitchell and Fleming Myer, also of Claysburg. The group stopped in Hollidaysburg where they purchased a gallon of wine. At Mundy's Corner, Finkes and his son got into a dispute about the proper road to Johnstown. Jesse drew his gun but other members of the party succeeded in quieting the argument and the journey resumed.

At Blairsville a stop was made to purchase a second gallon wine. Then the party drove to McFeely's road, one-half mile from Latrobe. Upon arrival the younger Finkes, Mr. and Mrs. Mitchel and Myers went to visu friends.

Jesse made arrangements to provide a bed at his home for Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell but none for his son and daughter-in-law. When they arrived at the home, a new argument broke out and resulted in their going to Finkes parked car. Jesse followed and a third argument followed.

Jesse drew his gun and fired, the bullet striking his daughter-in-law. It. entered her right side, passed through her heart and came out the left side. Jesse Finkes was found late Friday night hiding in the weeds in a neighbors yard and the gun was discovered Saturday morning in another clump of weeds. Do You Know MOSCOW eft A new machine for fighting locusts has been devised in the USSR.

Tass reported recently that this machine is an automobile which spreads poisoned bait for the pets over from 80 to 100 hectares in one day. It was prepared by the designing bureau of the Ministry of Agricultural Machinery and manufactured at the Karl Lieb-knecht factory. It moves through locust infested fields at the rate of 20 miles an hour and throws its poisoned bait to a breadth of from six to ten yards. Mrs. Margaret Pencinger.

Former President Hoover proposed that congress limit federal aid for education to "the real backward states" and lop off "pork barrel" help for states that don't need it. He cautioned congress to avoid a government dictatorship" over education.

Furthermore, Hoover said, there should be requirements for: (A) Specific standards of education, (B "Nondiscrimination" as to race or religion, and (C) Putting education ahead Lewis Offers Three-day Work Week WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS W. Va. cP) Coal operating groups across the nation pondered John L. Lewis' latest negotiating strategy: an offer to keep on working without a strike next month in exchange for a uniform three-day week. Northern and western operators who have been meeting with Lewis here hustled home for a weekend of conferences with their colleagues.

The major session will be in Pittsburg Monday. The talks here resume Tuesday afternoon and presumably Lewis -wants his answer by that time. The alternative is a shutdown of all bituminous coal mines July 5. The contract expires June 30, but the 400,000 soft coal miners and the 80,000 anthracite diggers began, their annual 10-day vacation Saturday. Whether the soft coal pits will open on July 5 depends a great deal on the sessions among the i operators this weekend.

There are plenty of problems connected with the type of agreement which Lewis has suggested. The biggest ones are legal. The operators fear 1 they would be running into the teeth of anti-trust laws because the idea borders on restraint of trade. i So far as could be learned, only the- operators taking part in the talks here got the no-strike-but-shorter work week proposition from Lewis. That means agout two-thirds of the industry would be involved by the time such an agreement was reached.

In addition, U. S. Steel's Harry M. Moses, who also left here for the weekend, has. to consider whether he will accept the proposal His mines face a shutdown July 13, by reason of a special time-table Lewis has figured out.

The Southern Coal Producers association has not yet been offered the three-day week as an alternative to -striking its mines July 5.
