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,

am hopeful that while considera
tion is being given, we will move
ahead with the grant program”
for the public schools.
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.

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. Breeder of the
grand champion was Tommy Brook
of Camp San Saba.
The judge, Glen Bratcher of Ok
lahoma State University, selected
a steer shown by Randy Lehmberg,
Mason, as the reserve champiqn
Angus calf of the junior division.
His animal was produced in the
J. 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

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.
