Low Family Incomes Found Big Obstacle To College for Many By Coit Hendley, Jr. Aside from segregation, the in adequacy of family incomes is responsible for the most “sober ing Inequalities” in the oppor tunities for education offered America's youth, according tc the President's Commission or Higher Education. The commission issued a new re port expanding earlier recom mendations. Including one that *116,000.000 be appropriated by the .Pedaral Government during the nexi school year to help need student; go to college. The scholarship grants would go as high as $800 to some 300,000 students. The new volume of the com mission's report on the inade quacies of American education, with recommendations for their correc tion, was released last night. As ir the ’ first volume the District was pointed to specifically as a sore spot in the Nation because of seg regation. Southerners Give Views. Disagreement with the commis sion's recommendations for the end ing of segregation was expressed bj four Southern members of the 28 person group, who charged that such pronouncements "impede progress and threaten tragedy to the people of the South, both white and Negro.' Their dissent was noted in the ^ vet vfilnme last WPPk blit thf grounds for their stand was not ex plained until this second volumt was reelased. The dissenters were Douglas S Freeman, editor of the Richmonc (Va.i News Leader; Goodrich White president of Emory University Lewis A. Jones, president of th< University of Arkansas, and Arthui H. Compton, chancellor of Wash ington University. St. Louis. Conditions Recognized. Their statement said: "We recognize that many condi tions affect adversely the lives oi our Negro citizens and that grosi inequality of opportunity, economic land educational, is a fact.. We are concerned that as rapidly as possi ble conditions should be improved inequalities removed and greater opportunity provided for all people. “But we believe that efforts,toward these ends must, in the South, be made within the established pat terns of social relationships, which require separate educational insti tutions for whites and Negroes. We believe that pronouncements such as those of the commission on the question of segregation jeopardize these efforts, impede progress and threaten tragedy to the people of the South, both white and Negro. “Cannot Ignore History." "We recognize the high purpose and the theoretical idealism of the commission's recommendations. But a doctrinaire position which ignores the facts of history and the, realities of the present Is not one that will contribute constructively to the solu tion of difficult problems of human relationships." 1 In commenting on discriminatory practices the commission said that the shortage of doctors, serious for the white population, is a near catastrophe" for the health of the > Negro population and discrimina tion by ‘ pjlicational institutions is a contributing factor. Rejected Many Applicants. It cited the fact that Howard University here and Meparry Med ical College train the bulk of the colored doctors. Howard University had 1.350 applicants, but could ac cept only 75 last fall, the report said. Last fall 50 applicants were admitted to the Howard Dental School from nearly 1.000 applicants. Of the 77 medical schools in the Nation 20 are located in the South and do not admit Negroes. Actually one-third of the presumably r.on segregated schools are admitting Negro students, the report con tinued. A total of 5,826 physicians were graduated in 1946 and only 154 were colored. All but 20 of the colored doctors came from Howard and Meharry. I'. S. Program Recommended. The commission, headed by Dr. George F. Zook, president of the American Council of Education, rec ommended: A Federal program of scholarships In the from of grants-ln-aid at the undergraduate level based primarily on idividual need, available to ail types of higher educational institu tions. This would follow broadly the precedent set by the GI Bill of Rights. A federally administered plan of fellowship* for graduate study with candidates selected on the basis of a natonal competitive examination The elimination of tuition and other student fees in all publicly controlled colleges and universities for the first two years and a reduc tion in fees for the last two years at least back to the level of 1938-9 Change in Policy Urged. Immediate abandonment of col lege admissions policies which result in discrimination against students on grounds of race, religion, color •ex or national origin. Enactment of legislation in 17 States and the District to eliminate segregation The establishment of free com munity colleges which would offer courses In general, vocational and adult education. Sweeping changes in the curricu lum for the first two years of college so that the high degree of student mortality can be cut down. Criticizing in detail ‘‘tacit or overt’ methods used by some colleges to bar the entrance of Jews and Ne groes, me ujuuniMiuu wmi Federal appropriations be used only In those "institutions where discrim inatory practices do not exist.” The commission recommended that the amount federally appro priated for helping 300.000 need; but qualified students through the school vear 1948-9 should be *13*. 000.000. Of that sum. S120.000.00( Would go to nonveteran students foi undergraduate work. The maximuir for each student would be *800 c year.

Dec. 22.—Passing up a honeymoon. Gen. Claire L. Chen nault, famed commander of the wartime Plying Tigers, was at his Air Transport Service desk as usual today after surprising friends by ! taking a pretty 24-year-old Chinese , reporter as his second wife. In a Lutheran wedding ceremony j yesterday, performed under a giant bell of chrysanthemums out of j which doves flew, the 57-year-old j retired major general married I petite. English-speaking Anna Chan. A small, intimate circle of friends i witnessed the single-ring rites at Gen. Chennault's big home in Holly Heath, toasted the couple's health with Chinese champagne, then sat down to a wild duck dinner. His chief recreation Is duck hunting. Dog Interrupt* Ceremony. Gen. Chennault's favorite black dachshund, Joe, twice interrupted i the ceremony performed by the Rev. I Ralph Mortensen of the China Bible House. Each time the dog had to be chased from the room. today tne bride, a modisniy dressed woman whose romance with : Gen. Chennauit first blossomed a i year ago, returned to her city beat for the Chinese Central News Agency, but she was somewhat un decided whether to keep her job. On several occasions it had called for interviews with Gen. Chennauit. The famed airman, whose first marriage to his American wife ended in divorce in 1946. after 35 years, had not ified intimate friends quietly only two days ago that he planned ; to wed Miss Chan, daughter of a j Chinese consul. He explained that j he wished to avoid the fuss of a big: wedding. Gen. Chennauit wore his Air Force dress uniform. Miss Chan a white silk wedding gown and veil. Bride Attended by Sister. Gifts included a silver service andj lace table cloths from the parents of Miss Chan. Her father, Dr. Y. W. Chan, is consul-designate at Kuch ing, Sarawak, and formerly was consul at San Francisco. ■ The bride was attended by her j sister. Cynthia, whose work as a nurse for the Flying Tigers in Kun ming during the war was instru mental in bringing about the first meeting of Gen. Chennauit and Anna. A former Flying Tiger, Col. Thomas C. Jeffrey, was best man. Gen. Chennauit organized the Flying Tigers among volunteer American airmen as protectors of the Burma Road against Japanese raiders before the United States entered the war. After the entry, he was made commander of the new United States 14th Air Force. Since .. MRS. CHENNAVLT. Formerly Miss Anna Chan. 4s1 MAJ. GEN. CLAIRE L.

The line’s relief work, carried on by many former Flying Tigers, is due to end this month. When the divorce of Gen. Chen nault and his first wife, mother of his eight children, was disclosed at St. Joseph. La., Gen. Chennault said “No, no,” to the question whether he would remarry. Romance between the American and Anna began a year ago in Shanghai when she accompanied him on the maiden flight of the service. Gen. Chennault, a personal friend of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, has told friends that he expects to spend the remainder of his life in China. on its output of high school grad uates and its population in the 18-21 age group. Economics Deciding Factor. The commission concluded that the decision as to who shall go to college is influenced at present far too much by ecnomic considerations.! These include the "inadequacy of family income. ,;the opportunity to day afforded young people out of! high school to earn relatively high wages and the Increasingly high living costs for students forced to live away from home while in college." “These factors combine to keep out of college many who have the abilities which would enable them1 to profit substantially by a college j course of study." the commission stated. College fees showed an increase of | 28 per cent in 1946 over 1938, the report said. Definite Information Lacking. The commission said it was almost impossible to get definite informa tion on just how many colleges practice discrimination against mi norities other than Negroes, such as Jews. “It can almost be said that the request for certain information bn application forms constitutes an all but prima facie case that such in formation is likely to be usfd for ; discriminatory purposes," the report I stated. The commission concluded that there will be no fundamental cor rection of the total condition until segregation legislation is repealed and segregation stopped in actuality.; nrs. xaipn oromann uses; Lived in D.

Italian Food Strikers Agree to Go Back to Jobs for More Pay §y Hie Associoted Preu ROME, Dec. 22.—The Italian Labor Ministry announced today that 300,000 food workers who staged a nation-wide strike 48; hours ago had agreed to return; to work at midnight tonight on a promise of increases In wages and severance pay. The announcement removed the threat of Christmas tide food short ages confronting the Nation and temporarily relieved pressure on Premier Alcide de Gasperi's govern ment, embarrassed by a multitude of leftist-inspired strikes and labor disorders. Some observers, however, express ed the fear that leftist-led labor's continuing demands for greater benefits would wreck the anti-in flation budget of Vice Premier Luigi Einaudi. Conference Brings Agreement. The office of Labor Minister Am intore Fanfani said the agreement ending the food workers' strike had been reached at a conference at tended by Mr. Fanfani, employers and representative of the Com munist-dominated General Confed eration of Labor. The conference was said to have lasted almost all day yesterday. The Communists, having demon strated their control over industrial workers, held a series of meetings yesterday to show their agrarian strength. The largest was held at Bologna, ostensibly for the purpose of work ing out a national program for ag ricultural reform. Premier De Gas peri's own Christian Democrats, the Republicans and Giuseppe Saragat's anti-Communist Socialist boycotted the meeting. Dangers Seen in Aid Program. Pietro Nenni's pro-Communist So cialists held a meeting at Avezzano in Central Italy at which he warned the government to be aware of dangers he said lurbed in the Mar shall aid program. "The Truman doctrine,” he said, "tends to make the Mediterranean countries an outpost of the conflict between East and West. If Italy yields to this policy she will become the battle ground of a third World War.” He said his party's position on the Marshall plan was “critical, not negative,” and added: "American aid is natural because the United States came out of the war with fewer losses and an intact economic potential.” Miner Kills Wife and Self As Six Children Watch iy the Associated Press PARIS, Ark., Dec. 22.—A 35-year old coal miner fatally shot his wife and then killed himself here yes terday in the presence of their six children and a teen-age neighbor boy who sought to stop him, Police Chief Carl Cox reported. Chief Cox said no inquest would be held in the deaths of M. L. Swee ten; and his wife. Ruby. Witnesses, who also included Mrs. Bill Day, mother of Mrs. Sweeten, and Mr. Day. the dead, wpman’s foster father, gave this version of the shooting. Chief Cox said: Mr*. Sweeten and Mrs. Day were working in the kitchen of the Swee ten home. Sweeten, holding a shot gun. appeared in a doorway. The neighbor youth, V. J. Horton, 15, | tried to disarm him but was unable1 to do so and the man fired a charge into his wife's side. He then re loaded the gun and shot himself in the head.

It makes no recomendations and does not com ment on the $5,600,000,000 income tax reduction bill introduced last week by Chairman Knutson of the House Ways and Means Committee The Knutson bill would Increase present $500 personal exemption to $600 and provide percentage reduc tions ranging from 30 per cent in the lower brackets to 10 per cent at the top. The Treasury report, however, says that since the Government must have high revenue to cover expenses, increasing exemption* Is! a “competing alternative” to re ducing taxes.. And of the two choices “a greater direct incentive can probably be obtained from rate reductions than from exemption Increases,” the report says. The report says, however, that $824 is needed now to buy what $500 would buy in 1939. Therefore, the Treasury suggested that if tax relief is to be given by changing exemp tions. it would be more in line with living costs to give the taxpayer, ana his wife higher exemptions than those allowed for children or other dependents. Present Forma Could Be Used. It said the present simplified tax forms still could be used by scaling exemptions to such combinations as (1) $800 for single persons, $1,600 for married couples and $400 for dependents, or (2) $800 for single; persons, $1,200 for married couples and $400 for dependents. Observing that the present flat! $500 exemption for all persons is 50 per cent of that given to single per sons in 1939, 40 per cent of that al lowed married couples but 125 per cent of that for dependents in the prewar period, tne Treasury com-; mented: i1 "Thus the net result of changes since 1939 has been a sharp exemp tion decrease for single persons and married couples, but a substantial Increase In the dependency allow ance." Could Add to Price Increase*. Weighing the $500 exemption against "bare maintenance” budgets putting minimum living costs at $950 for a single worker in a big city, $1,350 for a married couple and $300 to $400 for a dependent,” the Treasury said the present allow-j ance seems: "(a) Inadequate exempt (real costs of> single persons or mar-i ried couples, (b) probably close to • • * adequacy for families of three or four persons * * * and (c> more than adequate for Individuals en titled to at least five exemptions.” The Treasury declared that in creasing exemptions would help raise buying power in depressed, times, but would add to pressures L toward higher prices in times of , inflation.

The former newspaper reporter, who turned out hundreds of short stories about New York life and then turned to the movies, died of s heart attack. Only a few days ago Mr. Hellinger completed his flndl production, “The Naked City," which he told friends Is “my celluloid monument to New York.” While gaining stature as a writer and producer of motion pictures in the last decade, he continued to write a weekly story and column for King Syndicate. He also served briefly as a war correspondent for International News Service in the South Pacific and India durihg World War II. Had Seizure of Chills. He died at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital a few hours after being seized with severe chills at his home high in the Hollywood hills. His wife the former Gladys Glad, ex-Ziegfeld Pollies beauty, was at his side when death came. They had two adopted children, Mark, 6. and Gladys, 5. Mr. Hellinger was bom In New York March 21, 1903, and joined the staff of the New York News in 1924. Five years later he switched to the New York Mirror. He came to Hollywood in 1936, when his story , “Broadway Bill," was adapted to the screen. After that. Mr. Hellinger's pro iuctions included “The Roaring Twenties,” "Brother Orchid.” "High Sierra," "The Frontiersman” and a iozen others. Since the war he had ndependently produced "The Klll m-s,” an adaptation of an Ernest lemingwa.v story, and "Brute Force."

Mr. Hellinger considered himself a New Yorker although he spent most of the last decade of his life in Hollywood. He continued to subscribe to the New York papers, carried a New York license plate on his car over his California license and his office was decorated with pictures of famous New York figures. As well known in night clubs as his jaunty step and blue-black shirt, was his reputation as a heavy tipper. He was considered, an incurable sentimentalist and a "soft touch" for cronies of the prohibition era who were short of money. A lead ing chronicler of the festive phase of the 20s. Mr. Hellinger decided that his columns could get more readers with tears than gunfire. Dropped From School. Mr. Hellinger's father Paul hoped he would become a lawyer, but de spaired after the boy dropped out of Townsend Harris High School. Mark said later he was dropped be cause he led a students’ strike which dwindled to one striker, him- j self. Private schools failed to make law mere attractive to young Hel-I linger. At the age of 18 he got his first taste of prohibition night life as waiter-cashier in Greenwich Vil lage, working for a dollar a day. After trying a better salary in ad vertising, he found he had more fun working for less money for Zitt's Weekly. On this job he reviewed plays and movies and wrote edi torials. From Zitt’s Weekly he went to the Daily News.

Iran Parliament Tied On Choice of Premier To Fill Qavam's Post ly Hi* Auociotad hw TEHERAN. Dec. 22—Iran was still without a Premier today after Parliament, in a tie vote last night, nominated two men —Ibrahim Hakimi and Dr. Mo hammed Mosadegh—to fill the post resigned by Ahmed Qavam, who failed to win a vote of con fidence December 10. Each nominee received 54 votes, eaving Shah Reza Pahlevi the choice of appointing either one, or asking Parliament to vote again. Six of the 114 deputies present did not participate in the balloting. Won Back Aberbaijan. Mr. Qavam was chosen premier in January, 1946, and headed the gov ernment during differences with Russia over the withdrawal of Soviet troops sent into Iran during the war to guard overland supply route. The Soviet troops evacuated Iran during United Nations consideration of the issue in May and June. 1946. Mr. Qavam then succeeded in bring ing^ Azerbaijan Province back under the authority of the Central Iranian government after the province, which adjoins the U.S.SR.. had been governed for a time by a Soviet favored semiautonomous regime. Last August and again in October Parliament accorded Mr. Qavam votes of confidence. Soviet Deal Nallified. On October 22 Parliament de clared void, over Mr. Qavam's pro test, his understanding with the Russians for the creation of a joint Russian-Iranian oil company to exploit oil resources in Northern [ran.
