Air Force Probes
Destruction of
Ejection Capsule
EDWARDS AIR FORCE
BASE. Calif., Mar. 15 (AP).—
The Air Force sought reasons
today for the spectacular de
struction of a new ejection
capeule designed to save pilots
of future aerospace planes.
The capsule, carrying a man
sized dummy, pulled away from
a rocket sled during a 1,000-
mile-per-hour test run yester
day and shattered In a spill.
If successful, officials said,
the test would have been com
parable to an ejection from a
vehicle going 2,500 miles per
hour at 100,000 feet.
Plans called for the 2,400-
pound pressurized capsule to be
blasted away from the speeding
sled by its own rocket after a
run of 5,000 feet.
Instead, the capeule lifted
away from the sled at 4,500
feet. The ejection rocket had
no chance to fire.
The ejection system had been
tested six times previously at
speeds up to 800 miles per hour.
Catholic Educator Sees
Parochial School Lag
A Catholic educator today
took the Nation's parochial
J school system to task for in- 1
adequate professional stand
ards, particularly in religious
teaching.
Catholic schools are in seri
ous danger of falling behind
rapid advances in modern secu-!
iar education according to the
Rev. C. Albert Koob, associate
[secretary of the National Cath
olic Educational Association.
Father Kooz said that, with
exceptions, “recent develop
ments on the national scenes
have opened our eyes to the
fact that we have not appeared
to the general American public
as much more than a bigoted
Igroup of Sunday school teach
ers.”
Held “Missing Boat”
In the field of religious edu
cation, “we are missing the
boat.” he told 1,300 religious
and lay educators attending a
Teachers Institute of the Arch
diocese of Washington.
“It has taken us a long time
to realize that not every teacher
and not every priest is capable
of teaching religions," Father
Koob said.
The result of inadequate pro
fessional standards is that
Catholics will be disappointed:
in their belief that their schools

Dantas Gets Assurances
Os Aid, Seeks Terms
By th, Auocleted Preu
Brazilian Finance Minister
Francisco San Tlago Dantas
has received assurances of the
United States aid he came here
to seek but he is now negotia
ting conditions for such aid,
informed sources say.
Mr. Dantas is here to per
suade the United States govern
ment to release 884 million In
aid withheld following the
abrupt resignation of president
Janio Quadros In 1961.
The finance minister is also
discussing a postponement on
international debts due in 1963.
The tempo of his activities
here slowed down today. His
only listed activity was a
luncheon at the home of Sec
retary of the Treasury Dillon.
Later In the day he was sched
uled to go to New York for
several days to talk with pri
vate bankers.
After a meeting Monday
; are as good as they have
traditionally been told. Father
[Koob warned.
In addition to constant
teacher training In academic
I work and school services,
Father Koob urged efforts to
meet a shortage of qualified
school administrators.
Mediocrity Assured
Father Koob charged that,
"we have asked all teachers to
teach religion, thereby assuring
mediocrity for a large per
centage.”
He also charged that paro
chial schools have assigned too
many “old and tired teachers"
to religious instruction. Some
are “rushing madly into the
Victorian era," he declared.
“One could almost gag at
some of the pious talk that is
handed down by young curates,
who sermonize day after day,
and by elderly sisters who are
so far removed from reality
that it is almost unbelievable,”
Father Koob said.
He also said that “our own
lay teaching staff must be cul
tivated and trained with vigor,
not merely with tolerance.”
High school teachers met at
St. Anthony's High School for
the institute. Elementary teach
ers met at Archbishop Carroll
High School. Sessions will
continue tomorrow at Carroll.
with President Kennedy, Mr.
Dantas was asked if "some of
this loan from the United
States” would be used to help
develop trade with Russia. No,
Mr. Dantas replied, with all
countries.
Including Russia
“Including Russia?” he was
asked.
"Including Russia,” he an
swered.
Later that day Representa
tive Harsha, Republican, Ohio,
said that “part of the three
year (Brazilian) plan the
United States would be asked
to help finance was a 8160
million per year long-term
trade agreement between Bra
zil and Russia."
The State Department
spokesman said that Ute fi
nance minister's talks here
were aimed at "keeping Brazil
solvent so it can trade with
the free world.”
In an unusual move Mr.
Dantas addressed a closed ses
sion of the House Inter-Ameri
can Affairs Subcommittee
Wednesday at his own request,
and followed up with the Sen-

mittee the next day.
Aimed at Criticism
Diplomatic observers consid
ered these actions to be aimed
at softening congressional crit
icism of United States finan
cial aid to Brazil.
The Brazilian government
depends on some non-Com
munist leftists for support. The
United States Ambassador to
Brazil, Lincoln Gordon, was
disclosed yesterday to have told
the Inter - American Affairs
Subcommittee that there is
some Communist infiltration in
the Brazilian government.
It is believed in diplomatic
circles that Mr. Dantas must
make any public statemenu
with that situation in mind
but can be more frank in pri
vate.
