Speaking at the kick-off banquet for the Lawrence HELP-KU campaign here, Mr. Bubb said:
Mr. Bubb emphasized the role of education in helping a country develop high standards of living. He said:
"IF WE WANT to lose the cold war, the surest way to do it is to get soft and sell our educational sys tem short."
"One of the big reasons for our (America's) success is our emphasis on education.
HE CITED MANY examples of countries rich in resources which had not developed high living standards, and related this to a lack of adequate education.
He contrasted these countries to others which have developed high standards of living in spite of a lack of rich resources. He said each of these countries have excellent systems of education.
MR. BUBB SAID private support is important to KU. The state pays only 53 per cent of the University's budget; the rest must come from tuition and private gifts, he said.
Later, Dolph C. Simons, Jr., chairman of the HELP committee, gave evidence that Lawrence residents are not going to sell KU short. He announced that the advance gifts division had received $7,312 in contributions.
At the banquet last year, the advance gifts division reported gifts amounting to $4,300.
JFK's Mother Makes Progress
BOSTON (UPI) — Mrs. Joseph P. Kennedy, the President's 71-year-old mother, made further progress today in her recovery from major surgery.
Officials at St. Elizabeth's hospital said Mrs. Kennedy remained restricted to a liquid diet but had responded well to post-operative treatment.
Mrs. Kennedy underwent surgery Tuesday for a pelvic hernia which has troubled her for some time.
Opium Smuggling On the Increase
MIAMI —(UPI)— Federal agents today cited the seizure of a half-pound of opium here as the "first definite proof that Red Chinese are using Cuba as a base to launch a traffic in opium."
Federal and state narcotics agents yesterday arrested five Cubans and charged them with selling opium and cocaine.
Charles Siragusa, assistant to the commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, said cocaine smuggling had quadrupled since Fidel Castro took over the government of Cuba.
Seized with the opium, valued at nearly $1,500 was two ounces of cocaine valued at between $5,000 and $6,000.
The arrests came after a six-week investigation by Siragusa and other federal and state agents.
Camel Driver Set To See Jackie
KARACHI—(UPI)—Camel driver Bashir Ahmad announced his entry into politics yesterday and then left for Lahore and a meeting with Jacqueline Kennedy.
Bashir, who visited the United States last year as the guest of Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, made the trip with the compliments of the West Pakistan government.
Mrs. Kennedy is scheduled to arrive in Pakistan next week after a tour of India.
Bashir, before leaving, said he would be a candidate for election to the West Pakistan provincial assembly.
"I am a poor man myself," he said. "But as people want me to contest the elections I will do so."
