HARRISBURG (/P) Auditor Gen.
Robert P. Ca . sey called yesterday for
the resignation of two justice depart
ment officials including an attorney
recently cleared of possible conflict of
inte! - esn.
Casey, in a statement, asked for
the resignation of attorney Herbert
Fogel of Philadelphia, counsel for the
l•:11te. Harness Racing Commission, and
Counsel General Edward Friedman,
number two man in the justice de
partment. If they don't quit, Casey
Gov. Shafer should fire them.
Fogel was cleared last month by
Atty. Gen. William C. Sennett, after
news accounts that he represented a
private client before the State Liquor
Control Board while also holding the
harness commission lob.

A pilot program to train a new breed of rural leaders,
not in isolation of urban, national or international prob
lems, but in full awareness of them, will begin this Spring
at the University.
Based on the principle that world problems such as
poverty and hunger can be solved only through an under
standing of the interdependence of men, regardless of
where they live, the five-year program will be carried out
under a 5500,000 grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation.
It will be designed for young adult rural leaders as
well as college students, with the philosophies and prac
tices developed through the program expected to become
a permanent part of the University's educational activities.
In announcing the program, R. E. Larson of the Col
lege of Agriculture said young agricultural leaders will be
taken into cities and into the underdeveloped nations "to
develop an appreciation for the interdependence of men,
regardless of where they live. The knowledge they gain,
we believe, will make them more effective rural leaders,"
Larson added.
"Problems of rural America are not as well-identified
as those of urban areas and are of different origin, but in
the long run they may be just as serious and difficult of
solution." according to Larson. "Surely, the economic
health and social vitality of that portion of the nation pro
ducing all its food and fiber and its mineral and other
natural resources is a vital national concern. Effective
leadership requires a broad understanding of general eco
nomic and social questions facing the nation as a whole,
•
and an ability to share in their solution."
The program was developed by a six-man team repre
senting the Department of Agricultural Economics and
Rural Sociology and the Cooperative Extension Service,
both in the College of Agriculture.
A prospectus prepared by the group notes that "rural
people, in common with other citizens, face complex and
increasingly crucial issues about the kind of society the
nation will have in the future. The experience, information
and traditions of rural people do not well equip them to
make reasoned judgments about such problems or to exer
cise leadership in their solution, for the problems often
have industrial or urban roots, require knowledge and
skills not part of (their) background or involve judgments
seldom explicitly examined. The likely outcome . . . is
that farmers and other rural citizens will not be nearly as
effective as they might be in guiding future farm and rural
developments along paths satisfying to them, and they
may have little voice in resolving national issues important
to everyone."
• Emphasis. the prospectus points out, will be given tO
bringing about change without disrupting the system of
being rejected by it.
Paradoxically, as colleges of agriculture have devel
oped an increasingly strong scientific base, they have
tended to become narrower in their teaching. The result
has been to develop more highly proficient specialists, but
the increasing rigors of the program have left students less
time to develop attitudes and knowledges about broad so
cial and economic problems.
To correct this situation, the first part of the program
will be a new course in the Department of Agricultural
Economics and Rural Sociology, on critical issues, such as
poverty in the United States, inadequacy of community
services in rural areas and the paradox of, food surpluses
in the face of hunger in much of the world.
Three-fourths of. the students will be from the College
of Agriculture; the .remaining fourth will be from the so
cial sciences in other parts of the University to provide
different points of view.
The course will seek to instill in, students a concern
for social and economic problems.. an intellectual under
standing of them and a sense of personal obligation toward
their solution.
A special effort will be made to seek support from
student advisers in all departments of the College of Agri-

culture, and it is expected the course will become a perma
nent offering.
The second part of the program will be concerned with
promising young leaders of high potential in the 20 to 35
year age bracket, about half of whom will be in agriculture
and the remainder in other rural occupations.
Each year for the next three years, 105 young adults
will be brought into the program for 20-day training peri
ods divided into five or six work sessions. At the end of
the year, a third of the group will be selected for two
years' additional training and education.
This program has a six-part objective:
—to develop increased knowledge and understanding
of economic and social changes affecting agriculture and
rural areas;
—to develop a greater sensitivity to the needs and as
pirations of other groups in society;
—to improve understanding of social organizations
and the processes by which groups make and implement
decisions:
—to develop means and qualities of leadership by in
dividuals:
—to develop greater understanding of leading national
and international issues, and
—to evaluate alternative solutions to problems facing
agriculture and rural society.
In the first year of the program, each person will re
ceive 18 to 20 days of instruction in four to six sessions.
Since this will be a terminal program for two-thirds of the
participants, it will be concerned with informing partici
pants of the general objectives of the program. with par
ticular emphasis on the problems affecting the rural popu
lation.
The second year of the program will emphasize local
problems, community development, poverty, law and
order, housing and related topics. Field trips to urban
areas. Appalachia and Washington will give participants
a chance to observe poverty programs and community de
velopment programs in action and to discuss them with
members of the legislative and executive branches of the
Federal governmnt.
The third year of the program will concentrate on na
tional and international issues and Will include a field trip
of 10 to 14 days to Latin America. Emphasis will be on pro
viding an understanding of the views of other groups in
the national and world society. In the study sessions of the
program, representatives, of business, labor, minority
groups and foreign countries will lead formal and informal
discussions.

Welfare Systems Fail to Meet Standards
WASHINGTON —The welfare systems of 40 states failed
to meet federal standards completely. the Department of
Welfare disclosed yesterday.
. _
Some of the apparent violations involved relatively minor
bureaucratic provisions that little affect the nation's 10 mil
lion welfare recipients directly.
Others cut to the heart of compliance with congressional
provisions and Supreme Court decisions as long as three years
ago enlarging the rights of persons receiving public
assistance. Compliance deadlines arc past in all cases.
Eight states, for example, have yet to satisfy require
ments for implementation of a 1969 court decision that
abolished minimum residency requirement, for welfare
eligibility
Fifteen states have simildr problem, % , ith a 1968 rului
that struck do‘Nn the so-called "man in the house lonitaticm
