Richmond Times-Dispatch, Friday, April 20, 1962 'Slum Education' Effort Urged by Harvard Dean Some Points Disputed By Miller By Lon Savage T-D Education Editor To be socially fair in education, Americans must spend more money for educating slum children than for children of good family and culture, Dean Francis Keppel of Harvard University's graduate school of education said here last night. Parts of his speech drew argument from a fellow Harvard alumnus, J. Clifford Miller Jr. chairman of the Third District Democratic Committee. Dean Keppel listed educating slum children as one of three "new demands" in education that are not being met satisfactorily.

The other two, he said, are demands to recognize that (1) expenditures in education are as closely related to the country's economic growth as any other factor, and (2) Americans must invest in the education of underdeveloped nations. Harvard Club Keppel spoke before the Harvard Club of Virginia with an audience of about 150, including a number of the state's leading educators. Keppel suggested support for proposed federal aid in recruiting teachers and for federal, state and local educational research. His remarks on federal aid brought Miller to his feet in a question and answer period. "Most of us disagree with (federal aid) very strongly," Miller said.

"I do think some other facts should be brought out by you men who come down and tell us what to do." here, Miller then read from a report saying that in the past 10 years, Virginia's school operating costs had increased 144 per cent, pupil costs by 78 per cent and average teachers' salaries by 73 per cent. The people of Richmond, Miller said, will come to the aid of their schools if the need is shown without going to Washington. Miller Answered Keppel answered Miller that he had not mentioned general federal aid to education in his speech and did not wish to debate it at that time. Keppel said the nation seems "ill prepared to respond" to the demand for better education of slum children. "Education of children in wretched circumstances must, if we believe in equality of opportunity, ask more, average," rather he less, than the said.

A good family and a good cultural base means that the school has less to do. A broken home and a broken neighborhood means that the school has more to do." Concerning national investment in education, Keppel said it was important to "add up" the private, state, local and federal expenditures on education. The expenditure probably would exceed 25 billion dollars a year, he said, "which means that education is next to our expenditures for defense in the over-all national budget." In this perspective, he said, education is shown as "closely related to our future economic growth as a nation." "There is much more that we can do as educators, but we are limited by what the society will let us do rather than by what the pupils can handle," he said. The emergency of underdeveloped nations creates a third "demand" on education, he said. The people in these countries "seem to like.

our use of education means toward a classless society. American education has to respond to the demand that it form a part of our foreign policy." He said America must export teachers to these countries which are "as short of human. as of physical, capital." Airman of Month Airman second class Cedric W.

Bradley Is Renamed Women Called Key in CD By Group By Jack Wilson Times-Dispatch News Bureau HOPEWELL, April 19. (P) -Mrs. W. L. Stokes believes that civil defense, like charity, starts at home.

"The woman in the home is the center of a civil defense program. She has the interest and time to participate in classes and meetings. She has a motherly instinct to protect her family, "the woman's director of Hopewell's civil defense program explained. Mrs. Stokes became interested in civil defense work during World War II when her late husband was an air raid warden.

The energetic mother of three boys, she became head of the woman's activities in February and has spent an average of eight hours each week i in civil defense work. She has appeared at parent teachers groups, church organizations. and womens civic clubs speaking on the woman's place in civil defense work. Plans here include a first air program for women and a medical self help program which includes 12 weekly classes on family protection from fallout. Mrs.

Stokes said the program should start in Hopewell within a month. "As I see it, most people are too pessimistic about their chances of surviving a nuclear attack. Through the information program we want to give women a more optimistic outlook about the nuclear situation. The world is going to be a dangerous place for a long time and it's up to women to see that their families are protected," she said. "It will be up to women to see that the family fallout shelter is stocked with food and will be livable for a period of time.

We plan a nutrition program to show housewives how to provide meals in a fallout shelter." Practicing what she preaches, Mrs. Stokes has a well equipped underground shelter at the rear of her home. "The shelter cost up $2,400 equipped," she said. completely, every cent. Instead of buying a new car or new furniture, we bought a fallout shelter for the family." Ft.

Lee Major Is Suspended by Army For Speech Given at DAR Meeting Continued from First Page men seeking to speak out against communism, also declined comment Thursday night on Roberts' suspension. "I do not know all the facts in this case," Thurmond said, "and I cannot pass judgment without them." The army had announced after Roberts spoke Thursday afternoon that it was studying the case to see what action was justified. A spokesman said later no one had been sent to officially monitor Roberts' speech and the army had not received any reports on his talk. The Pentagon said Thursday night the army still has no official word on what Roberts said. Overseas Weekly triggered the Pentagon investigation that resulted in Walker being relieved from his command and officially admonished on the ground that he had tried to influence troops under his command during the 1958 Congressional elections and made derogatory remarks about prominent Americans.

Walker later resigned his commission. Letter Cited After his speech, Roberts cited to reporters the January 31 letter authorizing his appearance before the DAR as his authority for making the speech. "I am here on the authority of the original letter," he said. Asked if he felt he had been "muzzled" by the army, Roberts said. "What do you term it? You can say it.

"I'm not going to put myself on the spot by saying I'm being discriminated against by the army. I don't want to fight the army. It's been my life." Roberts said since he had been notified only last Saturday that his original speech was disapproved "I could not prepare a meaningful speech in that time" to be presented for army clearance. In response to questions about the "pro-blue" program, he said. "I'm not permitted to discuss it, it seems."

Army's Stand Earlier this week, in refusing to clear Roberts' prepared address before the DAR, the army had said it have to be changed in several respects before it would be approved. Specifically the Army said it objected to the general tone of the speech because it reflected adversely on the armed forces, and tended to revive a controversy over the case of a former officer which has been officially closed. The army's refusal to clear Roberts' speech was the second such incident involving the Ft.
