LINDSAY Ol Ine AmocUUo Preii MONROVIA, Liberia Cor poral punishment Is being rein troduced In Liberian schools. The return to authorized whip ping is being made on the ad vice of veteran President Wil liam Tubman. He noted the say ings, "Spare the rod and spoil the child" and "The rod is made for the back of the fool." lie also quoted: "Chasten thy son while there is hope and let not thy soul spare him for his crying." President Tubman said these admonitions were practiced in Liberia from 1817 until recent years 'when, having an appar ent desire to emulate modern educational practices of other countries, we abandoned this tried educational system, with the result we are beginning to have on our hands unruly, crim-Jnally-mlnded and delinquent young people." He appealed to the Negro na tion's parents and clergymen to support teachers who administer punishment when necessary. Tubman said: "It is a sad commentary on this ago that today teen-agers are permitted to wander about at night, attend parties, bars and cafes and remain out of the home until 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning without any restraint, restriction or s c o 1 d 1 n g s. It seems that we are afraid of our own children." Rules as approved by the teachers limit corporal punish ment to junior high schools and elementary schools. Whipping must be done by principals or someone authorized by them. Corporal punishment will be Inflicted for the following of fenses: Deliberate disrespect to school authorities and wilful violation of school rules and regulations; consistent vulgarism and re peated profanity; truancy and running away from school prem ises or leaving school grounds before the end of the day with out permission; obstinacy cr gross disobedience and influ encing others to disobey; per sistent fighting, cheating, steal ing or "similar acts that would crea'e unpleasant atmosphere In the school;" wilful or deliberate destruction of school property; "demoralizing and malicious deeds that may degrade the morale of the school such as using dangerous weapons, knives, razor blades, guns in school"; drinking; smoking. The rules say corporal punish ment must never be used for nstructional purposes or be cause of a student's Inability to master his lesson. The teacher concluded: "Psy chologically, the promiscuous use of the whip greatly affects the learner's total behavior. Consequently the sight of switches in a class room Im mediately constitutes a threat to his behavior. Hence at no time should a bunch of whips be conspicuously placed in any class room. The rod should only appear when and where it is absolutely necessary." Not Living Up to Appeals for Unity Verwoerd Attacked by Press JOHANNESBURG, South Af rica (AP) Leading English language newspapers here have charged that Prime Minister Dendrite Verwoerd and his Af rikaner followers are not living up to his frequent public appeals for unity between this country's English-speaking and Afrlkam speaking whites. One says the Afrikaners are building a "personality cull" around Verwoerd that damaucs this country internally and also hurls South Africa abroad be cause It creates an Impression i of granite-like obstinacy against foreign criticism. The latest and probably sharp est spate of criticism In this vein occurred after the celcbra tlon of Verwoerd's 61st birthday, arranged and participated in almost entirely by Afrikaners. English-language newspapers complained that their reporters and photographers were refused admittance while Afrikaner newsmen were admitted to a reception and entertainment for 1,100 guests. Some English editors also criticized the extremely lauda tory tributes paid Verwoerd by his admirers. The Johnannes burg Transvaler, whose board chairman is Verwoerd, had said editorially that history will note that he was trying to save the W:estern world from the "lollies of the Kennedys and Macmli- lans" in a critical era. Another editorial likened Verwoerd to the wartime Winston Churchill, India Court Rules School Order Illegal NEW DELHI Ifl 'The Su preme Court of India hat up held the right of a religious minority such as the Presby terian Church to run its schools without government infer ence. The court ruled that the Mary Brown Memorial Training Col lege does not have to take a certain percentage of government-picked candidates in its freshman class, even though it receives government aid. The Bombay government had threatened to withdraw both aid and recognition from the teachers' training institution if the order were not obeyed. The court said the Indian constitution guarantees minor ities the right to establish and administer educational institu tions of their choice. The right could not be whittled down by government restrictions which worked against the interest of the minority institution, even though the restrictions might be in the interest of the pub lic or the nation as a whole. School trustees had told the court that the college was for the benefit of the Christian community, though others were not denied admission. 30,939 Tour Exhibits SEATTLE ( Attendance at the Seattle World's Fair: Tues day 30,939.

Sikorsky is providing a 'copt er with twice the lifting capa city of the others. Films are being made of the operation of both craft and an analysis is to be made later. Yarding of logs with helicopt ers is a new concept; serious consideration came only recent ly because the high hazard and high cost were formerly thought to be discouraging. Part of the test involves the craft "dragging" the logs to a landing, rather than lifting them into the air. - A new automatic release, da vice was also to be tested.
