Meeting May Speed Building at Centralia Centralia Elementary School's building program may have been speeded up considerably as a result of a meeting yesterday of local officials with the Office of School Planning in Los Angeles, Glen H. Dysinger, Centralia superintendent, reported today. After several hours of discussion on controversial issues, Dr. Charles Bursch, Chief of the Office of Schoolhouse Planning, Sacramento, advised Centralia Board members to write a letter to the Department of Education voicing their wishes on the points of difference and as worked out at the meeting yesterday, the plans will be approved by the State office, although their protests on certain points will go on record along with the approval. This was in line with the opinion expressed by LeRoy Lyon, State Assemblyman for the 75th district, that the office of school planning has exercised more authority than he feels is warranted in the building program at Centralia in holding up plans that do not violate the code requirements. He attended yesterday's meeting and supported the Centralia Board's stand in right to determine what is best and declared that the office of school planning should not exercise undue authority in imposing its subjective will upon the board in matters beyond educational code requirements.

Mr. Eisenhower told his news conference that his executive order should not keep the subcommittee from getting any of the pertinent facts. Mr. Eisenhower said he is anxious for the hearings to end as soon as possible, but not before it has been brought to a proper conclusion with all the facts brought out. "Let the chips fall where they may," he said; "let's have the facts." He said he is extremely concerned that the hearing is diverting attention away from the more important word and domestic issues and delaying enactment of his legislative program in these serious times. He said he was astonished when he saw that his order was being used as an excuse for ending the hearings. He said, consequently, he would tell exactly why the Jan. 21 meeting was held. There was an investigation involving the Defense Department and the Army more specifically on one hand, and a congressional committee on the other, he said.

Atomic Reactor Now Being Used For Public Good WASHINGTON (UP) — The world's "hottest" atomic reactor is now working for the public, the government announced today. Safer foodstuffs better portable X-ray equipment, tougher plastics, more durable and efficient industrial materials and methods, and deeper insight into the mysteries of nature are expected to result. The Atomic Energy Commission announced that irradiation facilities of its materials testing reactor (MTR), an 18 million dollar nuclear "furnace" built in the Snake River area of Idaho, have been made available for private research on a limited but continuing basis. Operating Since 1952 At the same time, the AEC released new details about the MTR which has been operating almost continuously now since the spring of 1952. Its primary purpose was and is to test materials for use in other reactors such as the atomic engines which will drive the submarines Nautilus and Sea Wolf. Some of its irradiation space, however, may now be turned over to the public at what the AEC called a "sufficiently low" charge. The MTR's stock in trade is the neutron, a nuclear particle liberated by splitting uranium atoms. Most ordinary materials break down under heavy neutron bombardment. Normally stable atoms become intensely radioactive. Two-Fold Function MTR produces the "highest neutron flux" of any reactor in the world. At peak operation, neutrons stream from its uranium core at the rate of some 500 trillion per second square centimeter. MTR's function is two-fold: To center in Santa Ana yesterday were recaptured by police last night near Newport Beach. Three other men were arrested and implicated in the escape plot.

The three men, who are being held on suspicion of auto theft and abetting escape charges are identified as George S. Ashekin of Seattle, Richard Allen Smith of Tacoma, and Gary Holland Smith of Seattle. Sheriff's office men say the trio stole one car in Gilroy, and another yesterday to help with the escape plot. They were captured in one of the stolen vehicles. The other was picked up at a Costa Mesa motel. Sheriff's deputies, California Highway Patrolmen, and Santa Ana police set up a roadblock about 11 p.m. last night when two Newport Beach officers reported they spotted the men traveling up Newport Blvd. toward the triangle at the foot of Main St. The Newport officers followed the car until it came to the check - point and then helped with the arrest. Roberts and Biers made their getaway yesterday while working around the sheriff's radio station near the Santa Ana river. Some 16 police cars converged on the area Bear noon yesterday — shortly after the escape — in an effort to recapture the fugitives. Orange and Santa Ana police, aided by Highway Patrolmen and Sheriff's deputies scoured the riverbed and nearby orange groves in a futile attempt to flush the two men.

He then went to his Garden Grove home to change from his prison uniform and was recaptured.

Kinsey's research on sex received its first official recognition today by a Russian critic who analyzed it as "tens of thousands of writings and drawings on the walls of public toilets." The Indiana professor's book on "The Sexual Behavior of the Human Female" was described in eight months after its publication in the United States as "despicable." D. Y. Leonov reviewing Kinsey's findings in the Soviet magazine "Problems of Philosophy" said the report was "nothing more than the cheapest pornographic hash clumsily masked as science." Leonov wrote that Kinsey's writing were comparabe with those of Henry Miller whose "Tropic of Capricorn" and "Tropic of Cancer" can not be brought legally into the United States and mystery writer Mickey Sphane. Kinsey Leonov wrote revels in "sexual perversion and disgusting love stories about 90-year-old women and nauseating digging into the sufferings and sensations of prostitutes. Such is the contents of this book." Leonov said Kinsey's writings served the ends of "American reaction ... imperialists ... apologists for the imperialist principle of exploitation ... sociological Darwinists and Fruedians." Leonov's review did not mention the fact that Kinsey's book on female behavior was criticized sharply in the United States by many religious, civic and scientific authorities.
