Kennedy Asks Grants Plan of $577 Million
By United Press International President Kennedy's proposals for aid to education include the following:
COLLEGE and universities — extend the current College Housing Loan program for five years at $250 million a year, and establish a new low-interest rate five-year program of $300 million annually in loans to help build up classrooms, laboratories, libraries and related academic facilities.
Scholarships — A five-year program totaling $777,525,000 to send 212,500 "talented and needy young people" to college with scholarships averaging $700 apiece, at a yearly maximum of $1,000. States would distribute the scholarships competitively "without regard to sex, race, creed or color — solely on the basis of ability." There would be 25,000 the first year, 37,500 the second and 50,000 for the next three years.

Film of Riots Called False

there was a great surge forward," he continued. Johnston pointed out other examples of what he termed unfairness.
He said the students asked repeatedly to be admitted to the hearings and were denied the right. They watched members of patriotic organizations walk in with white passes and were told that there were 100 such passes issued. Each pass admitted six people.
The film showed the observers with passes walk in, and it stated there were 100 issued, but the film does not say how many each pass admitted, he stated.
JOHNSTON SAID there had been much splicing done to color the film.
"Harry Bridges is shown being led away from the jail," he said. "The next scene is full of rioting students. The commentary says Bridges was led away minutes before it broke out. Actually, the pictures of Bridges were taken two days before the demonstration."
Johnston said the film has stirred controversy on other campuses.
"BEFORE IT WAS shown at Nebraska, an editorial was published in their school paper, saying it was not a true coverage," Johnston related. "The Nebraska Legislature asked for a committee to review the NU journalism school because some legislators thought it might be infested by Communists."
Johnston said the danger in showing the film lies in how the students react. He said many believe what they see and hear because of their belief, in the adage "the camera does not lie."
"If a student knows about the misrepresentations in 'Operation Abolition,' and if he will examine it critically, he should realize it is a slanted production," Johnston said.
JFK to Appoint Woman Ambassador
President John Kennedy has announced his intention to appoint Frances E. Willis, now Ambassador to Norway as U.S. Ambassador to Ceylon.
Miss Willis, the first woman foreign service officer to be appointed an ambassador and to attain the rank of career minister, has been envoy to Norway since 1957.
Miss Willis will succeed Bernard Gufler as ambassador to Ceylon.

ondary schools—three years of Federal grants for classroom construction and teachers' salaries at a minimum of $15 "for every public school student in average daily attendance." This would total $666 million the first year, $766 million the second and $866 million the third. States would decide whether to use the money for construction or salaries, or both.
Fund distribution — by an "equalization formula" which would give poorer states a bigger relative share per pupil. Each state would have to allot 10 per cent of its grants to "areas of special educational need" such as depressed areas and slum neighborhoods.
He said in a special message to Congress that the program would be restricted to public schools and "no elementary or secondary school funds are allocated for constructing church schools or paying church school teachers' salaries."
President Kennedy refused "in accordance with the clear prohibition of the Constitution" to include parochial or private schools in his aid-to-education program.
"And thus non-public-school children are rightfully not counted in determining the funds each state will receive for its public schools," Kennedy added.
JERUSALEM, Israel) — (UPI) — Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion told President Izhak Ben-Svi today he has been unable to form a new government and asked for the dissolution of Parliament.
Israel to Have New Elections
Ben-Gurion's statement climaxed a political crisis that began Jan. 31 when he resigned over the "Lavon Affair."
Ben-Svi then asked Ben-Gurion to stay on as caretaker premier and form a new government — as the tough 74-year-old Israeli leader had done many times in the past.
But Israeli minority parties refused to join Ben-Gurion's Mapai Party in another coalition government.
The result was his decision to cease trying, ask for dissolution of Parliament and open the way for new elections.
Earlier, sources close to Bengurion said he was considering the possibility of retiring to his Negev Desert retreat.
Ice Cream Hot
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. — (UPI) — Ice cream was a hot issue in the loss of cafe owner Homer Isabell's restaurant license. Isabell lost his license after pushing a city health inspector who accused Isabell of failing to keep his ice cream scoop in a pot of boiling water.
"I'd just like to see any of them (health inspectors) dip ice cream with a boiling hot scooper," Isabell said.
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.—(UPI)
—Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold, anticipating quick response to his appeal for African reinforcements in the Congo, has told President Joseph Kasavubu the UN has the strength needed to pacify the country by force.
African Troops Aid UN Congo Forces
In a comprehensive report to the
Security Council, Hammarskjoold confirmed that he had appealed to all African countries, except Libya and Togo, which have no troops available, to send contingents to the UN force in the Congo.
