"There is no reason for fed
eral grants in aid to the de
partments of health, labor, pub
lic assistance or any of the
other 36 divisions of state gov
ernment," he declared.
When asked if rejecting federal
aid would necessitate raising state
taxes, he answered it would if
other states continued to accept
grants. However, Crosby added,
the action of one state or of sev
eral states in refusing federal aid
might "nudge" Congress into cur
tailing the program.
As a basis for his policy of
decentralized control, he quoted
Woodrow Wilson as saying, "A
growth of central government
has always meant a devolution
of personal liberties."
Crosby particularly attacked the
state public assistance policy. It
is "ludicrous" to him, he said, that
todav when business prosperity
and employment are at a peak

aid is also at an all-time high.
He allowed that $55 a month is
not sufficient to enable old per
sons to live more than an "ani

that the system of pensions should

form age can be set for retire
ment, he said, and no uniform
amount can be set for pensions.
"The amount of assistance,"
he added, "should be in pro-
nnrtlon to the need."
He also said that he would pre

the legislative "rule of thumb"

set up by compact, to adminis

The contraction of the earth's

facts of our time. The University
Air Age Education division is at
tempting to make us conscious of
the consequences of the epochal
situation which makes the earth
smaller than was Nebraska 50
years ago.
Dr. Frank Sorenson has been
a nationally known leader in
the field of air age education
for the past ten years and it
was largely through his impetus
that the special air age division
was established last summer.
The division, while centered at
the University, operates through

Lucas Presents Paper On NU
Social Work Training Program
NU BULLETIN
BOARD
The use of University faculty
members as well as Board of Con
trol staff in providing a special
ized professional training program
was the subject of a paper pre
sented by Leon Lucas last week.
Lucas, assistant professor of
social work, read the paper at
the annual meeting of the
American Orthopsychiatric as
sociation in Atlantic City, N. J.
The paper pertained to psychi
atric social work training in
Nebraska.
The faculty participation in dej
termining the training program
serves as an example of how in
terdepartmental cooperation makes
possible such curriculum, not om
erwise available, for small com
munities, a School of Social Work
report said.
The program also serves to
create better professional integra
tion of allied training in anticipa
tion of later professional team
work relationships, the report
continued.
At the same conference, Lucas
discussed a paper by Prof. Cor
nelia H. Allen of the University
of Buffalo entitled, "The Adap
tation of a Camp Setting for
Therapeutic Work with Handi-
capped Children."
Lucas also attended a meeting
of the executive committee of the
American Association of Psychi
atric Social Workers in New York
city Feb. 22 and 23.

The number of high schools giv

rapidly expanding aviation indus

fall.
Several air age clinics with
the purpose of giving practical
orientation to instructors in the
use of air age teaching devices
have been held at various points
in the state. At one town teach
ers were given an air-eye view
of soil conservation in practice.
Special clinics and workshops
will be conducted this summer by
the division.
Cooperating with the air age dl
officials, advises the division of
the needs in their local areas.
A National Aviation Educa
tion Council conference was
held in St. Louis, Feb. 22 and

practices and programs.
At the conference were teach
ers, representatives of airlines,
