Ribicoff Urge By The Associated Press WASHINGTON—President Ken nedy and Secretary of Welfare Ab- jaham A. Ribicoff, in separate forums, urged Congress Wednes day not to entangle the adminis tration’s $2.3 billion school aid pro gram in arguments over integra tion and aid to parochial schools. Ribicoff made his plea in telling a Senate education subcommittee Congress must act quickly if the aation is to provide classrooms and teachers needed to handle sky rocketing public school enrollments. As the leadoff witness in four Jays of subcommittee hearings on the administration bill to provide assistance for public elementary and high schools, Ribicoff said the main purpose of the measure must not be sidetracked. Kennedy, in making his plea at a news conference, said he con siders loans, as well as grants, to parochial and other private schools inconstitutional. But he said “there is obviously room for debate about loans,” since the question hasn’t been test ed in the courts. And if Congress ants to consider voting loans to private schools, Kennedy said, PALACE Bryan Z'BS79 NOW SHOWING DOUBLE FEATURE Tony Curtis in “then I- am hopeful that it will be considered as a separate matter.” Meanwhile, Kennedy said, “I UN Club To Be Given Latin Program A Latin American program will be presented tomorrow night at the 7:30 meeting of members of the campus United Nations Club and their guests. “An Evening South of the Bor der” is the title of the program, to be presented by the Pan Ameri can Club of Bryan’s Stephen F.

The President had said at his news conference last week that bringing private schools into the grants program would be clearly unconstitutional. Since then, spokesmen for the Roman Cath olic Church have opened a fight to tie long-term, low-jnterest loans for parochial schools into the pro gram. Kennedy declined to indicate whether he yvould veto any sep arate legislation to provide pri vate loans for private schools, but added “it.is very clear about what my view is of grants and loans ..across the board to nonpublic schools.” In urging that neither question nor civil rights arguments slow down action on his aid bill, Ken nedy said the newspapers are filled with ads for scientists, technicians and engineers. But yet, he said, there are people who can’t find jobs because they didn’t get an education. Midwest Covered By Snow Flurries By The Associated Kress Much of the Midwest was snow bound Wednesday in a swirling, windswept white mass that may have swallowed up a 4-year-old Iowa farm boy. The blowing drifts in southern Wisconsin, Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa ranged up to 16 inches, closing hundreds of schools, stranding motorists and crushing roofs and power poles with its icy weight. Air, bus and train traffic was snarled or completely halted. Highways were covered with loose snow, which turned to slush along the southern edge of the Midwest. A search was called off Wednes day for Jimmy Frank, who disap peared from his farm home five miles northwest of Winthrop, Iowa, Tuesday. Villagers and neighbors hunted for the lad until 2:30 a.m., but found roads to the Frank farm blocked by impassable drifts when they tried to renew the search. The blinding snowstorm became a perfect cover in Racine, Wis., for a lone gunman who escaped through the white screen after holding up a building and loan of fice. Iowa’s snowstorm tied up high way traffic, halted airline service and hampered bus and train trav el. Stalled vehicles blocked major highways and hundreds of schools remained closed. Winds ranged up to 50 miles an hour. . ’Denison, in western Iowa, got 16 inches of snow; Emmetsburg 15; Rockwell City 14, and North- wood 13. The weight of the wet snow pulled down utility lines and disrupted telephone communica tions. Iowa highway patrolmen went out on foot in the storm checking stalled cars and trucks for possi ble occupants. One northwest Iowa family spent the night in their automobile which became stuck in a drift seven miles east of Fostoria. The father, Paul Fla herty Jr., walked almost two miles through swirling drifts to telephone for help. Then it took two snowplows five hours to reach the stranded family. The Wisconsin State Highway Department said the storm left roads in the southern half of the state in the worst condition of the winter. Motorists were advised to confine traveling to emergency trips. Many southern Wisconsin com munities were completely para lyzed in snows up to 10 inches which whirled along on winds up to 40 m.p.h. Southeastern Minnesota was bogged down in snow up to a fqot deep which stranded motorists. In Chicago, eight persons were injured when the wet, heavy snow caved in part of a factory roof where 2,000 persons were at work. Air traffic at all three of Chi cago’s major fields was hampered by ptaor visibility. 1960-1961 DIRECTORIES , of OFFICES - STAFF STUDENTS of TEXAS A&M COLLEGE AVAILABLE at Student Publications Office YMCA Bldg. $1.00 Per Copy Abilene Youth Exhibits Top Steers At Show THE BATTALION Thursday March 9,1961 College Station, Texas Page 5 A&M Research Foundation Problems Offer Variations Special To The Battalion Wilburn Holloway of Abilene was a mighty happy youngster re cently when his sleek, 940-pound Angus steer was selected as the junior and grand champion steer of the 1961 Houston Fat Stock Show in Houston. The 12-year-old 4-H Club mem ber’s calf sold for $12,000 to Ed gar Brown, Jr., of Orange; well- known cattleman and booster of the Houston event.

W. White Angus herd at Mason. Exhibitor of the open champion Angus steer at the big Houston show was James Mailander of Wi- ota, Iowa. His steer was bred in the herd of John Williams, Ode- boldt, Iowa. Lyle Miller of Osce ola, Iowa, showed the reserve champion open Angus steer. One of the features of the Hous ton show was a big line-up of An gus heifers exhibited by 4-H Club and FFA members. The 62-head event was judged by L. D. Wythe of A&M. Champion Angus, heifer, Colum bia Lady, was shown by Rudolph Baumgardner, 17-year-old 4-H’er of Plainview. Rita Blanton of Kaufman, won the reserve cham pionship with Oxford Pride 116 of Garrett. By TOMMY HOLBEIN Facing the inter-related prob lems in sciences and technologies that business, industry and agri culture must constantly cope with,- the A&M Research Foundation has been a leader in helping these in stitutions since its founding in 1944. The Foundation was formed for two purposes: to create research opportunities for the personnel and students of the Texas A&M College System, and to provide the basic and applied research, better utiliz ing the resources of Texas and the nation. With these purposes in mind, the Foundation has raised its dis bursements in research from ap proximately $4,000 in 1944 to $807,481.44 in 1960, with the ma jority of sponsorship in research coming from private sponsors. To the sponsors, research pro grams directed at solving their problems mean opportunities to utilize the superior facilities of fered by the Foundation. These are offered on an actual cost basis without expenses in volved in private maintenance of elaborate research facilities. With the great advantage in cutting expense, the Research Foundation has undertaken 280 major projects in sponsored re search since its organization, with these activities involving virtually every imaginable field of business, industry or agriculture. Examples of these widely spread activities range from building a mass spectrometer laboratory for continuous research, sponsored by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, to a study of the migration of underground waters in Jackson County, Texas, for the American Employers’ Insurance Company. Studies in aircraft performance for leading aircraft corporations are conducted in the wind tunnel near Easterwood Airport, and on the campus the Department of Oceanography and Meteorology has numerous and various experiments and research projects underway. The programs of this depart ment have spread all over the world, and it is on constant call from various private and govern mental agencies for data and in formation. Also, minor research activities are being conducted by professors and students. Many other departments within the colleges of the Texas A&M College System which includes three, other colleges and five state agencies, also conduct research under the Foundation. This means that, through its agreements with the System, the Research Foundation may place at the disposal of its clients and spon sors the consultant and research services of staff or faculty mem bers of any college or agency within the system, either on a full or part-time basis. Also, the Foundation may place at the service of its staffs many experimental facilities such as farms, nurseries, substations, shops, foundries and other aids in .accomplishing the desired goals. An amazing by-product of the Foundation’s facilities in staff and equipment is the speed with which it handles the various problems submitted for solution. Research contracts receive immediate atten tion and priority treatment, thus these problems may be pursued in a swift and uninterrupted manner. One of the most advantageous contributions to the efficiency of the Foundation in the past two years has been the Data Process ing Center on the campus, which hosts some of the best computer systems in the South. Donated to the college by vari ous producing and manufacturing companies, the equipment in the Center has done much to raise the prestige of the Foundation and A&M College overall. Clients of the Foundation are kept constantly in mind, and the independent research organization protects the interest of its spon sors by making each research ac tivity a separately contracted obli gation. Matters such as publication of research findings, patents and patent rights arising from con tracted research, and release of oral or written information re garding research programs are incorporated into each individual contract in a manner suitable both to the Foundation and client.
