By G. K. HODENFIELD | WASHINGTON (AP)—For two: years Americans have been talk- | ng about crash programs to train re A gr aga They ny still talk- have fo . When the Russians sent Sput-

there was a great outcry in the United States: _

“We are lagging behind the Russians,” it went. “Our schools are to blame.”

The school was a handy sca goat. Today's students axe to row’s scientists, and any national program to train more scientists has to start in the classroom.

APATHY AND RED TAPE

In some communities there has been remarkable improvement. But at best this is spotty prog- ress. Country-wide, so called crash programs seem to be wrapped in apathy and tied with red tape.

Dr. Ellsworth Obourne of the U.S. office of education says the country now is spending between $50,000,000 and $60,000,000 a year to improve science teaching. That includes expenditures by the gov-! ernment as well as foundations ‘and private industry.

“This money is being poured in at the top of a funnel,” says Obourne. “Very little is getting through to the local level where it is needed. It’s like pouring money down a rathole.” — .

Scientists and _ educationists agree there are five essentials to! a good school program in science. |

There must be a broad, com-'| prehensive course of studies, | from elementary grades through! high school. There should be one} well-trained guidance officer for’! each 200 to 30@-high school stu- dents. -And there must be good

study of the American high school. '

He found. 75 per cent of them too small to offer a diversified program except at exorbitant ex- pense. They can’t afford ad-| vanced science courses for only | a few students, they can’t afford special teachers for those classes, they can’t afford guidance offi- cers, up - to - date textbooks, or laboratory equipment.

This is the situation, point-by-

and on a series of interviews with scientists and educationists:

1. Curriculum—with a few not- ablé exceptions, science study in U. S. public. schools hasn't changed much in this century.

According to one expert. “there is a lag of at least 10 to 15 years between what foes on in science and what is taught in our schools.”

2. Guidance officers—by a con- servative estimate there is a shortage of 15.000 guidance offi- cers. Literally thousands of po- tential scientists are being lost the field through poor counselling or none at all. a“

3. Teachers—this is perhaps the most complex part of the entire | problem.

Figures conitited by the Na- tional Education Association show a shortage of 135,000 qualified teachers. The need in high school science is especially severe be-

j in the United States.

Truth Doubted In Kidnapping

is unable to determine whether the United States or Communist China is telling the truth in their exchange of kidnapping charges. “All this sounds more like some piece of fiction than fact,’ Nehru told Parliament. China handed the government a note Monday charging that the Americans kidnapped Ch ang Chien-yu, a member of its con- Sulate general staff~in Bombay. Peking said Chang was forced to sign a statement asking asylum

in the movie and Ford was hired for the relatively serious role of | the lieutenant who tries to govern the Korean villagers according to army regulations and gets en-" meshed in their problems instead.

“No one had ever stolen a movie from Marlon before, but Glenn stole this one. His comic approach to the role, especially in the gift Geisha scene, was something out of Chaplin. He sur- prised all of us.” “

LIKES SERVICE HUMOR

Ford explains why he chose service pictures to exploit this new-found comedy talent.

“The greatest natural humor in the world is found among service- | men. One of the most laugh-filled i times of my life was during my |hitch in the marine corps during the war. Inexplicably, things that happen to servicemen are much funnier than the same incidents with civilians. That’s why ex- servicemen and their families flock to see comedy-in-uniform.”

The Portneuf, Que.. native credits the switch to uniform comedy as the reason behind his box office upsurge, but refuses to take full credit himself. :

“TJ had some of the greatest comedy makers in the business, | directors like George Marshall, in | my camp. What I did-mostly was execute their orders.

“In Don’t Go Near the Water, {the most: hilarious scene in the picture was the wild building of the officer’s club in which every

Unlike most hollywood split- ups, the columnists cannot agree on what caused this one. Several noted the coincidence of Ford co- starring. in It Started With a Kiss with Debbie Reynolds. The pic- ture shot for six weeks in Spain. Debbie, no stranger to the di- vorce and triangle headlines, went to Europe as the suffering wife whose husband had been lured by one of the world’s most beautiful women. '

When the troupe returned to Hollywood, Debbie came back her own happy clowning self. Ford came back to a_ surprise divorce suit filed by his wife.

Such timing was sure to be noticed by the columnists in their speculations. Ford angrily denied

the insinuations and called the reports ‘utterly ridiculous.”
