HODENFD5LD A. P. Education Writer WASHINGTON (AP) President Kennedy sent to Congress today a 24-point program of federal aid to education, and asked for $1-2 billion to get it started. As before, his proposal made no provision for direct aid to private or parochial schools. Included in the omnibus measure are 13 new programs and 11 existing programs to be extended and expanded.

They include a complex system of grants for public elementary and secondary education, work projects for college students, expanded student loans, and loans and grants to help public and private colleges alike to meet the surge of new enrollments. THE PRESIDENT placed no price tag on his total package, which he said would "phase out federal aid over a four-year period." Although his new program contains no provision for direct aid, there is one suggested change in the college student loan program which might make it easier for church arid private schools to secure teachers. A notable omission in the sweeping program of recommendations was any request for col-1 scholarships, a constant source of congressional bickering in past years. Kennedy did, however, ask for a national study to determine why students do not attend or finish college. An administration spokesman said that if the study indi cates a need for scholarships, a request for them could be made next year or later.

A further attempt to avoid controversy seemed apparent in the provisions for higher education, The President proposed loans only for the construction of academic facilities. But he asked for grants to both public and private colleges for more acceptable things such as the training of technicians, construction of libraries, and ex pansion of graduate schools.

J. SVETIC L. C. THONI w. i 'fciHatioH Wrong Address (Continued from Page 1) the Hammond Fire and several dozen from the neighboring fire departments, at the scene fighting the blaze at one time All off-duty Hammond firemen that could be reached were called in.

FIKE CHIEF Edward J. Spol nik and Bonner said the fire orig- Payne's Restaurant, for many years known as Brahos Coffee Shop. It began as a grease fire in the exhaust system of the restaurant, a common occurence in such establishments. However, the delay in getting to the scene and then the difficulty in reaching the fire itself, which had gotten under the store's false ceilings, brought it to serious proportions. Hammond firemen scaled the roofs of Payne's and Rosalee's in an attempt to get to the fire through the roof, but they were unsuccessful.

About 45 minutes after firemen arrived, the first flames were seen shooting through Rosalee's roof. Before that time, thick smoke was pouring from vents in the roofs of both Payne's and Rosalee's. THE BLINDING SMOKE also caused the nine-story Calumet National Bank Building to be evacuated. More than 500 persons, from the bank building and other stores affected by the fire, were forced into the near-zero weather by smoke. Firemen were hampered by the extreme cold weather.

They soon were covered with ice from the water and spray. Police immediately blocked off the fire stricken area from motor' ists and pedestrians. Crowds gathered immediately when the fire trucks reached the scene and they grew as the fire wore on. During the high point of the blaze between 1 and 3 p.m-, there was fear that the two bank buildings on each side of the fire, would be affected by the fire. However, both buildings had solid walls between them and the fire, and suffered no damage inside.

Firemen played water on both buildings to give them added protection. Owners of the businesses affected by the fire had time to re move business records and store them in the Mercantile National Bank safe. However, each of them suffered a complete loss in the way of stock. Fire officials said the businesses and buildings involved in Monday's fire were covered by insurance. Fire inspectors and examiners poured through the ruins this morning to gather information for detailed reports.

Gantt Begins Routine Orientation CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) Harvey B. Gantt's first full day at Clem-son College as the only Negro in any publicly supported white school in South Carolina was taken up today with a routine orientation course. He spent a quiet night in what had been an all-white dormitory. Clemson authorities, wrestling with the problem of maintaining an educational program in the wake of Gantt's history-making enrollment Monday, planned ground rules for reporters and photographers.

NEWSMEN were barred today from entering campus buildings. Joe Sherman, public relations director, asked that someone from his department accompany any reporter and photographer going on campus. Clemson authorities obviously were concerned that the press corps, numbering about 170 at the climactic enrollment, woulld disturb the academic program. Kin anis Club To Hear Dr. Kuhn Dr.

A Wednesday, Jan. 30th I- I To See And Learn KJm''1' '7 1 MOW Lf vl BOSTON (AP)-Robert Frost, dean of American poets, died early today at the age of 88. He was pronounced dead at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital at 1:50 a.m.

after two operations, a heart attack and three separate blood clots in his lungs since Dec. 3. The four -time Pulitzer Prize winner Had been maKing wnat doctors called a remarkable re covery until his general condition began deteriorating in the past 48 hours. His attending physician. Dr.

Roger B. Hickler, said Frost died shortly after complaining of severe chest pains and a shortness of breath. Cause of death was listed as "probably a pulmonary embolism" a blood clot in the lungs. A team of doctors and several nurses were at his bedside. Dr.

Hickler said that a few hours before the fatal attack Frost was "talkative and comfortable." FROST ENTERED the hospital Dec. 3 and underwent an operation seven days later for removal of a urinary obstruction. Subsequently he had a heart at tack and blood clots settled in his lungs. In an attempt to ease the blood clots, doctors operated on both legs to tie the veins earlier this month. Fame came late to the one-time mill worker, New Hampshire farmer and teacher.

He lived in comparative obscurity until he was nearly 40. Two years ago at the age of 86 he was invited by President Kennedy to read a poem at his inauguration. With a January wind ton sling his thatch of white hair and a strong sun blinding him. Frost discarded the script he could not read and recited from memory a poem he had written 20 years earlier, "The Gift Outright." Earlier. President Dwight D.

Eisenhower had appointed Frost consultant in poetry to the Library of Congress. ON HIS 88th birthday last March 26 President Kennedy presented Frost a medal voted by Congress. Fellow poet Carl Sandburg praised Frost as "not merely a great poet, but also a beloved person," and said his work will be "around for a long time." Mark Van Doren, poet, playwright, literary critic and English professor, said: "Robert Frost cannot be replaced. The hole he leaves is not only wide but deep. "In his lyrics, in his narratives, and in his metaphysical dramas of Job and Jonah, Robert Frost produced over something like 70 years a body of poetry which has no equivalent in the literature of the United States or of the world." Others had similar high praise for Frost and his works.
