Herter. Defends
In Final Senate
WASHINGTON (iP)—Seeretary of State Christian A. Herter yesterday gave a final
report to the Senate on U.S. affairs abroad. Members of the Senate ,Foreign Relations
Committee said the report was "not very encouraging."
Herter particularly defended the U.S. break in relations with Cuba and the U.S. posi
tion on Laos.
His report was made to tl
De Gaulle
Pleads For
Algerian OK
PARIS (in—President Char
les de Gaulle warned French
men yesterday that their vote
in Sunday's referendum will
be their last chance to solve
the Algerian problem, explain
ing there is a risk world events
will sweep it out of their
hands.
"To reply with the negative for
any reason whatever is to deny
that the problem should ever be
solved by France," he said. "To
abstain is to choose sterility for
France."
The president made his third
and last television appeal for
massive backing for Algerian
self-determination while villag
ers in Algeria already were
casting the first votes. For se
curity reasons, the referendum
runs three days in that North
African territory.
A dozen bombs set off in Paris
and Algiers underscored the tense
atmosphere. A last-minute at
tempt to blow down Radio Al
giers power lines before De
Gaulle spoke was a failure.
The 70-year-old French war
hero, speaking with emphasis and
some emotion, asked a massive
"yes" vote —"a majority in pro
portion to what is involved"—so
his plan could he carried through.
There is no talk of an end to
the six-year• nationalist rebellion
in the question put to them, but
De Gaulle clearly implied that—
it' backed by the nation he has
quick peace talks in mind.

Fulbright indicated the United

Laos, if the pro-Western govern

Th Soviet Union has opposed
re-assembling the commission,

the Geneva settlement of the

Fulbright said he feels there is
no justification for criticism in
Europe that the United States is

Plans for Aid
To Education
NEW YORK (iP) A vast pro
gram of federal aid to schools,
amounting to nearly $2.5 billion
annually, was proposed to Presi
dent-elect John F. Kennedy yes
terday by his special task force
on education.
It said the outlay would "lift
the schools to a new level of
excellence."
Commenting on the report, Ken
nedy told newsmen: "I don't know
whether we have the resources
immediately to take on the whole
program. We'll have to decide the
degree of need and set up a list
of priorities."
The money would be allocated
in the form of loans and grants
to the states, with local school
authorities permitted to spend it
on teacher salaries, school con
struction or other purposes.
The report, drawn up by a
group headed by Dr. Frederick
Hovde, president of Purdue Uni
versity, recommended three dif
ferent plans for outright grants to
the nation's schools.
One would provide schools in
all states a blanket $3O a year per
pupil. based on average daily at
tendance.
Another plan would provide an
additional $2O per year per child
in states where incomes are be
low 70 per cent of the national
average.
A third approach would allow
another $2O per pupil annually
for schools in cities with a popu
lation of 300,000 or more, where
school systems are facing special
strains.

Concern Over Laos
BANGKOK, Thailand (in—Thailand's Prime Minister
Sarit Thanarat expressed concern yesterday over what he
called Western uncertainty in the Laos crisis. He declared the
situation soon could get "completely out of hand."
His criticism seemed aimed at the council of the South-
east Asia Treaty Organization
which met briefly at its Bangkok
headquarters for the third time
to discuss the Laos situation, then
issued no statement.
Sarit, who returned to this capi
tal from a seaside resort where
he had been recuperating from
influenza, expressed. his concern
at a news conference.
He said that continued inde
cision of the West over Laos
may allow Thailand's neighbor
to slip off into a position where
it cannot be saved.
However, Sarit later told the
Thai people the situation in Laos
is "serious but not critical."
The feeling of tense urgency
which pervaded in SEATO head
quarters here all week appeared
to be dissipating.
Some sources said this was ap
parently due to growing realiza
tion that SEATO will not be
asked to supply military forces
to halt Communist advances in
Laos at least until some other
methods have been tried.
Others said the United States
apparently has stopped pushing
its claim that the Communists
have intervened with manpow
er as well as equipment.
A majority of the SEATO mem
bers appeared to be firmly con
vinced the best course is a call
for political settlement while
keeping its powder dry.
