Twelve-Year-Old Boy
Knocks the Top Off
Standard I.Q. Test
CLEVELAND, (#) — The parents
of 12-year-old John Francis Schi
vell have a problem. Psychologists
told them their son’s level of in
telligence is so high it can’t be
measured by standardized tests
and most public schools are in
adequate for his intellectual gifts.
A strapping 150-pounder who
stands five feet six, John is wrap
ped up in physics and mathe
matics, and says he wants to be
come a “research scientist.”
He is a freckle-faced bespec
tacled eighth grader at suburban
Maple Heights High School where
he gets straight A’s.
Two years ago, during routine
testing by Kent State University
psychologists, testers said John
“broke through the top of the
Stanford-Bin'et intelligence test.”
In tests' by the Department of
Psychology of Western Reserve
University, John attained a per- j
feet score in such areas as lang
uage development memory, abil
ity to compare and contrast ideas
and concepts and recognition of
words, according to Dr. Corinne
F. Baker, assistant clinical pro
fessor there.
The boy spends his spare time
reading technical publications,
studying foreign languages, and is
currently absorbed in a biography
of the late Albert Einstein.

Expect Congress Restore
Cuts In Alaska Public
iWorks and Road Funds
WASHINGTON, UP) — Delegate
! Bartlett predicts House and Sen
ate conferees on Interior Depart
ment appropriations will agree to
the full amount asked for Alaska
Public Works and the territory’s
road construction program.
The House originally deleted
the entire five million dollars
asked for Public Works and cut
three million from the $7,800,000
asked for roads. Both cuts were
restored by the Senate.
House and Senate conferees are
expected to meet, possibly this
week, to iron out the differences.
Bartlett said yesterday he has
had assurances “which convince
me the two programs will now go
I forward without interruption.”
169 Ketchikan Children
Get Polio Inoculations
KETCHIKAN, (#)—The first mass
Salk polio inoculations in Al^gka
were administered to 169 first
and second grade children from
public and Catholic parochial
schools here Monday.
Dr. A. N. Wilson, city health
officer, and Dr. Louis Salazar
resumed inoculations Tuesday,
when about 200 more children
received the vaccine manufac
tured by the Parke, Davis Co.
Vaccine Appropriation for
Underprivileged Expected
Quickly From Congress
WASHINGTON, UP>—Sen. Hill
j (D-Ala) said Tuesday there is “ab
solutely no question” but that
Congress would quickly approve
President Eisenhower’s request
for 28 million dollars to pay for
anti-polio vaccine for children
whose parents can’t afford the
shots.
Hill, chairman of the Senate
Labor and Public Welfare Com
mittee, said in an interview he
expects Eisenhower’s companion
request for two million dollars for
more inspectors to police vaccine
output to go through as soon as
Congress can get around to con
sidering the matter.
Otherwise, Hill voiced reserva
tions about the administration’s
new 11-point program for volun
tary allocations and controls over
distribution of the Salk polio vac
cine. Secretary of Welfare Hobby
outlined that program to the com
mittee Monday after it had been
approved by the President.
Hill said the program “very
clearly” was not “detailed or def
inite.”
Committee Democrats indicated
by their questions and* comments
at Monday’s hearing that they are
far from sold on the administra
tion’s plan to make sure, by vol
untary methods, that supplies of
the still-scarce vaccine get to the
most susceptible age groups in
sufficient quantities and that dis
tribution is carried out equitably.
Chavez Accuses ,
Air Force Wastes
Millions in Alaska
WASHINGTON, UB—Sens. Cha
vez (D-NM) and Robertson (D-Va)
Tuesday accused the Air Force of
wasting “millions of dollars” in
its construction programs in Eng
land and Alaska.
The charges were raised at a
Senate appropriations subcommit
tee hearing as Air Force spokes
men began explaining requests for
nearly 15 billion dollars. These
Air Force funds already have been
approved by the House.
The subcommittee is consider
ing requests for more than 30
billion dollars from defense agen
cies, including the Air Force.
Chavez, subcommittee chairman,
said “We still have waste and in
efficiency.”
He said an example of this was
a report to the committee that be
tween 10 and 15 million dollars
had been wasted on the Air Force
construction program in the Uni
ted Kingdom by “needless repeti
tion of planning.”
“Much greater sums have been
wasted in trying to execute these
imperfect plans,” he added.
Sen. Robertson broke in to say
he had been informed that the
multi-million waste in Great Brit
tain was only “a small part of
what was lost in Alaska.”
He said Air Force projects there
cost “a hundred million dollars j
more than was contemplated.”
Robertson said that the annual
“maintenance cost on these Alas
ka« projects is excessive” and
“fog and below zero temperatures
made . flying from them almost
impossible.”
Both he and Chavez said ’the
appropriations committee wanted
all facts before the Senate is
asked to approve the huge bill,
including Air Force funds.

WHO BENT YOUR DENTURE?
OKLAHOMA CITY, W — Mrs.
Loretta Bonner, a teacher at Taft
Junior High School, noticed one
of her students struggling with a
piece of candy he was chewing.
‘Either swallow the candy or
toss it in the wastepaper basket,”
she advised the youth.
“Can’t,” said the lad, “the candy
is stuck between my teeth.”
Jokingly, Mrs. Bonner told the
youngster: “Well, toss your teeth
in the basket with the candy.”
The boy took out his teeth and
threw them into the basket. He
had a complete upper plate.
