WASHINGTON <JP> — President
Johnson was elated, but he knew
better than to crow, when this
week he signed bills approving
federal aid to education. His
troubles in this field are just be
ginning.
It took Congress all year to
pass three pieces, far-reaching but
pieces, of President John F. Ken
nedy’s broad aid to education pro
gram. Johnson inherited the sorest,
most sensitive piece, which Con
gress left unpassed.
This part has been a religious
issue since Kennedy first offered
his program in 1961: Federal Aid
to public elementary and secon
dary schools but not to Catholic
schools.
V m d xr u oil l /-I c, rl
is. e n n e a y exciuaea uamoiic
schools on the constitutional
grounds of keeping state and
church separate. Catholic spokes
men opposed the measure unless
Catholic schools were included.
Non-Catholics opposed it if Cath
olic schools were included.
Kennedy, a Roman Catholic,
never got to first base with it.
Johnson, a Protestant, is pledged
to support the Kennedy programs.
The outlook for this one in 1964
looks dismal.
Nevertheless, the Johnson ad
ministration is expected to push
for it. This isn’t the only Ken
nedy program that Johnson sup
ports whose chances look dismal.
There’s another: Medical care for
the aged.
A filibuster by Southern Demo
crats against civil rights might
take weeks in an election year
when Congress wants to quit
early. This would gum up the Sen
ate schedule, perhaps squeezing
out any action on aid to educa
tion which, if it did come up,
might also consume more weeks
in argument.
These were the three pieces of
federal aid to education to pass
this year:
1. One to give loans and grants
to public and private, including
Catholic, colleges and universi
ties to help build classrooms, li
braries and laboratories. This bill
forbids use of government money
to build divinity schools.
2. One to help finance the build
ing of medical schools and give
loans to medical students.
3. One to support vocational ed
ucation, help school districts
jammed because of nearby federal
bases, and provide student loan
funds.

Fngincers Will Use Frozen Probes In
Attempts to Hold the Mighty Yukon
ANCHORAGE (Special) — The
river zigs, because it has shifty
banks. You can tell the river to go
away from your door, but up to
now it hasn’t listened. You have
the choice of moving or prevent
ing the river from moving. Until
now keeping the Yukon River
from shifting hasn’t been possible.
Army Corps of Engineers of the
Alaska District, propose to do it—
pin it down — by inserting 40
foot ice probes like pins into a
cushion. The system is unique in
man’s efforts to curb erosion and
control floods.
Under $1,234,000 contract with
Rivers Brothers Company and
Ghemm Company of Fairbanks,
Engineers are inserting probes to
keep the errant bank as a frozen
asset. It is frozen now in tempera
tures that go down to the high
60s below zero. In the spring with
the breakup and floods, the bank
will not thaw and erode. The
probes prevent thawing.
The Yukon Valley in the vicinity
of Galena Air Force Station is a
flat flood plain, 35 miles wide, tat
tooed with old channels.. When
the airport and military station
was established at Galena in 1941,
the Yukon River bank was three
quarters of a mile farther from the
threatened base than it is now,
and posed no problem. Twenty-one
years of erosion has brought the
river too close for security.
Last spring the river was lap
ping at the dike surrounding the
base and airport, water percolated
from the ground in short geysers,
exhibiting flood pressures. The
river showed its primordial force
by flapping a steel wall erected
Lindbergh’s Daughter
Marries in France
PERIGUEUX, France UP —
Charles A. Lindbergh’s daughter
was married in France Monday.
And the flier who made history
in May, 1927, by piloting a single
engine plane across the Atlantic
to Paris, attended the ceremony.
Miss Ann Spencer Lindbergh be
came the bride of Jacques Freydy,
the son of a professor.
Brigadier General and Mrs.
Lindbergh looked on as the civil
ceremony was performed at Douz
illac, near Perigueux.
The couple met during summer
vacations spent at the French vil
lage. Each is 20 years old.
Lindbergh was an obscure air
mail pilot and Missouri National
Guard captain when he made his
solo non-stop flight to fame. The
bride’s mother is the former Anne
Morrow, daughter of the late
Dwight Morrow.

to protect the endangered bank.
The metal was of inch thick
battleship steel; it swayed like a
broken shutter in the wind. lee
in chunks the size of bungalows
were lobbed over the parapet into
a trough formed with the bank by
erosion. The river then played toss
with tons of ice, popping them
into midair like ping-pong balls
in an air jet.
The flood subsided before the
bank collapsed. When the flood
strikes this year, the bank will be
frozen hard as a marble in fruit
cake and there it will stay while
the river works its will on 1,800
miles of banks from Canada to the
Bering Sea.
The freeze probes are an idea
of engineer Erwin Long of the
U.S. Army Engineer District,
Alaska. The Long Thermopile
works automatically to expell heat
from frozen ground. Encapsuled
propane gas has a low vapor point.
When warmed it changes from
liquid to gas, which rises in the
capsule tube to the surface where
the heat is expelled, the gas then
condenses, gathering as a liquid at
the base of the probes until needed
again.
Additional protection against
surface erosion will be added to
the bank this winter under the
contract. Additional steel piling
will be placed as a buffer. Finally
the bank will be armored with a
three to five foot layer of rock and
gravel. “If this doesn’t stop the
Yukon, I’ll eat my tin helmet,”
says Long.
