American grown cotton than their foreign counterparts pay.” i Whitener further stated that ap- I proval of the legislation would “not only take a cross from the shoulders of our domestic tex tile Industry but will in fact pro mote the interest of the cotton farmer in this country since it will preserve his basic market— the domstic textile industry.” The j House of Representatives is ex- I j pected to act upon this legislation during the curent week.

First initiated in 1943 as a war ( time expident under George A. Kennedy, late professor of Chinese at Yale, the Chinese Language i School evolved Into the present In j stltute which sets the standards for I intensive language study across the country. Before entering the Institute, the airmen are rigorously tested at Lackland. Then a team from Yale, under Robert N. Tharp, administra tive associate for the military pro gram, travels to Texas to conduct classes In Chinese for two days. Those who show the greatest ap titude and motivation are then ad mitted to the Institute. Neverthe less, there are sttli failures, but usually less than ten per cent. To attain a htigh level of fluency, the airmen work 32 weeks for 30 hours in classes and 12 to 24 hours outside classes each week. In the basic course the emphasis is on spoken Mandarin Chinese. The airmen are exposed to the language at full force from the first day they enter the Institute. The airmen live in four detach ment buildings. All UntveiwUy facilities are open to them, but they remain close to the language laboratoiles, except for mandatory exercise periods or trips from New Haven during off hours. l Technical Institu ; In Asheville I the State^Boar 0 * action by Ks? *£•“*<»•** £ IhevtUe has become a Technical Institute.
