VENCE, France (AP) -Polish writer Witold Gom-browicz, 64, in a wheelchair posed to helping young persons achieve productive lives. "We know that the problems are in higher education," Finch explained. "Probably the areas of real concern are in the public schools. We've got to begin to shake up elementary and secondary education." One problem, Finch said, is that elementary schools don't take television into account although "a child has perhaps 2,000 or 3,000 hours before a TV set" before reaching school. Another problem, he said, is that for a young man with military obligations, education is "so strung out that most stay out of the real world until their mid-20s." Finch, 43, is Nixon's youngest choice for the Cabinet.

During the past two years, he served as an ex-officio University of California regent and California State College System trustee.
