The same is true, he said, for the loss of Ll governments to its. Leader, notin that government has become more complex, stressed the n ed for qualified personnel to eet the complex problems of g ernment today. Noting also t t business is get ting bigger and more complex and is seeking top-level men, Leader said he hopes "we in gov-' ernment will be able to get our share of able administrators." He urged the state's colleges! and universities to "lead the way" in persuading political authorities to "broaden the opportunities for highly educated people" for com plex government work. To point out the complexity of government, he used as an ex ample the federal-state road pro gram planned for Pennsylvania. The, state, he said, is planning to build 1400 miles of 4-lane high ways and to spend thousands of dollars for consultants for the project. Skills to Build Roads "Roads don't design themselves. It takes the highest degree of skills to build these roads," he said. Mentioning that he has been criticized for spending too much money for professional opinions of "experts," he said: "Until the average citizen rec ognizes the complexity (in gov ernment) and agrees to have com petent people do the job, we're going to be in trouble." Leader pointed out the change of emphasis on government from enforcing laws to providing serv ices, which he said are largely bi partisan. Ninety per cent of gov ernment action now deals with services, he said. 'Roads Are Si-Partisan' Leader, emphasizing this point, said "there is no such thing as a Democratic or Republican . . . road." Leader said government more and more will have to turn to colleges and universities for cap able administrators. It is both the obligation of the colleges and the Universities and the government to see that these men are avail able. The colleges and universities, in addition to prmriding basic edu cation for its students, must also cultivate a spirit of citizenship and leadership, he said. Govern ment, he said, Must increase se curity, salaries, prestige and op portunities for is employes.

Leader yesterday afternoon said the state Assembly is currently working on a measure which would legally allow nine University graduate students to receive "stipends" from the state for their work in psychology, social work and occupational therapy. Politician Lion Views Clouds The band stopped playing and the cheering crowd suddenly be came hushed as the Nittany Lion stepped, to the rostrum. An air of expectation hung over' the forest clef ing.
