PAGE TWO Scranton Gets Education Aids Plan HARRISBURG, (!P)—Clovernor Scranton yesterday accepted with out commitment a recommenda tion of the three major education organizations for a multi-million dollar program of increased aid to public schools, expansion of higher education and higher teacher salaries. In submitting their recommen dations to the governor, the three groups also expressed their wil lingness to develop and to support a tax program to pay for their proposals. THEY SUGGESTED the sales tax be broadened as the best way to raise the money, but also ad vised the governor they were willing to work for any accept able alternative. In the case of aid to public schools, the organizations recom mended an immediate boost in line with current average costs of instruction, an item that would cost anywhere from $9O million to more than $2OO million, FOR TEACHERS, they pro posed an average $3OO a year in crease for all teachers, plus a boost in starting salaries now $3,600 a year—to $4,500 to $6,200, depending upon the amount of post-graduate education the teach er has had. The highest starting salary would be for teachers with a doctorate. They advocated either commu nity colleges or area technical schools for post high school work and scholarship or loan aid to help able Pennsylvania high school graduates to continue their educa tion.

WILLIAM C. FOSTER, chief of the U.S. Disarmament -Agency, is to leave early today for the' re sumption of the 17-nation disarm ament talks at Geneva Tuesday. U.S: officials said his emphasis will be on first-step "confidence building" agreements looking to a test-ban .treaty and he is at 4ast cautiously hopeful of some pro gress. The Atomic Energy Commission announced resumption of the un derground testing in Nevada with shots in the intermediate range or less—meaning the equivalent of something between 20,000, and a million tons of TNT. The AEC would not say how many blasts At the outset of the hearing, Garner W. Green, a Mississippi special assistant attorney general, stepped before the bench and pleaded to make the state a party in the. case. THE ACTIONS a Barnett and Johnson in the desegregation cri sis "were the acts of the state," he said. The state, he continued, "stands before this court as the one re sponsible for what was done." Government attorneys argued that only Barnett and Johnson were involved, not the State of Mississippi. "They and they alone are asked to answer," the govern ment contended. The judges recessed briefly, to consider the matter, then turned down the Mississippi request. 2nd Week:- End TH'E DAILY COLLEGIAN, UNIVERSITY PARK, PENNSYLVANIA ciple of reorganization without ex pressing an opinion whether it should be compulsory or volun tary.

The next day, Secretary of State Dean Rusk announced Kennedy was ordering resumption of the Nevada tests.
