Kennedy recommended federal assistance through the Office of Education to train hospital workers and teachers for the handicapped. "Shabby treatment of the many millions of the mentally disabled" has gone on too long, said the President. "We can procrastinate no more...

To help communities plan such centers, he asked for $4,200,000 in fiscal '64. By fiscal '65, he forecast, the communities could be ready to start building.

But sometimes Sivard gets so carried away in his kindly lampoons that there is a detail too many, and the end result is no better than a merely slick magazine cover. His most impressive paintings are from that unpainted and usually humorless terrain, Russia, which...
