According to Honeycutt, more adequate community evaluation of its schools depends greatly up on the initiative of public educa tion to fulfill its purpose by rend ering educational services to each citizen as long as he lives, not merely from the first grade' to graduation. Dr. Ellis referred to the phe nomenal way advanced commun ication' has given opportunity for the public all over the country to evaluate the advance of public education in any particular com munity.

Memorial r our rear ervic Tells Congress He Wants 'Proper Military Posture' WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 (AP) President Kisenhower today asked Congress to extend the draft law four years, grant pay increases to ' career"' servicemen and create a powerful military reserve to deal with any "aggressor so criminally un wise as to attempt an atomic attack." The President set out the administration's military man power program in two special mes- -sages to the lawmakers, saying the 1 hike the present service pay roll measures he proposed would give j Dy about 6.7 per cent for salary this country the "proper military j an(j allowances. posture" for the first time in peacetime. On pay; he proposed increases only for men willing to serve logg er than a minimum time, saying it is necessary t omaintaih "the experienced hard core of a modern fighting force." Calling for a "selective" rise, Eisenhower said there should be no increase for officers in the first three years of their service and none in the first two years for en listed men. This would mean no pay rise for two-year draftees or for young re-i serve officers putting in only their obligated time, The President said the aggre gate increase he proposed would , non-commercial education tele- ; vision stations in the country will j burgh, Penna.; KQED, San Fran- Cisco, wis .

A hassel over Rise Stevens blooms on the editorial page P. 2. FOUR PAGES TODAY At present the government is paying out about $10,530,000,000 for those purposes. On that basis, the added cost would be about $705,000,000 a year. ONE ON PAY Eisenhower devoted one mes- sage 0f iQO words to the nay question and a second f 2,000 words to his request for continua tion of the draft law and estab lishment of an improved reserve program. He said extension of the Selec- tjve Service law, due to expire june 30 "is necessary because ex- perience demonstrates that active armed forces of the size we must maintain cannot be raised by vol untary enlistments alone." He said too an effective reserve program to provide a pool of trained fighting men is necessary because: "We cannot possibly keep armed and in uniform the total forces that might ultimately be required in an all-out war. The inescapable burdens would endanger the liber ties and the economic system we are determined to defend." Major parts of the proposed re serve program had been disclosed late last year by the Pentagon. The chief feature is a plan jr six months' training each year of about 100,000 young men who would go directly into the reserve. In his manpower reserve mes sage, the President told the law makers: "The penalties of our unreadi ness have ben mainfold in treas ure, in blood, in the heartbreak of a mighty nation buying time with the lives of men. Now, in an uneasy peaee we can and must move toward this proper posture at tolerable cost, with due regard for tradition, without disruption of human plans or the material economy. "Korea and Indochina are bitter reminders ot tne ever nresent , threat of aggression. The masses j of armed men and the vast array j of warmaking machines, main- tained by the Soviets and their satellites along the frontiers of j lhe ree world' sharpen the re- minders. "The first purpose of our de fense planning remains the main tenance of a just, secure peace. If, however, unwanted war should come, it should find us ready with every resource at our command to repel and defeat the enemy. And, at home, we must have forces trained for every emersencv, should an aggressor be so crimin ally unwise as to attempt an atom ic attack. "In seeking to attain these goals, we must remember that the ac tive military forces are only the cutting edge of our nation's full strength. A vigorous economy, a strong mobiliilLtion base and trained citizens are the invincible element in our military striking power." In asking a "selective" pay raise for military men. Eisenhower said ! the problem is to keep trained men . . i it. j t i in ine service. lie saia ouiy n.o per cent of Army personnel re enlisted in 1954 4 compared with a rate of 41.2 per cent in 1949. He added: "Since 1949, there has been one increase in pay which, along ith increases in allowances, amounted to an- aggregate advance in coe pensation of 5.7 per cent. Military pay, nevertheless, has fallen be hind that of industry. In addition, sunnlementary pay practices, health, security and retirement benefits and bonus systems, are now widespread, throughout in dustry, and this fact tends to neu tralize such advantage as the mili tary services had in these fields.
