I Literacy
By Reuel S. Moore
(United Pros S1H Corruiiondent)
Washington, April 10 Hft Sol
diers with less than five years of
schooling can meet private Pete
and learn or polish up their
readin', 'ritin' and rithmetic as
part of the army's educational
program.
A new kit of books designed to
provide literacy training has been
issued by the army. It will be
widely used for soldiers in the
European theater not npeded for
military duties during the inter
val of redenloyment In which
American military might is shift
ed from that theater to the Pa
cific.
The kit is based on a soldier's
reader, "Meet Private Pete," in
which reading' is taught by using
examples of soldiers' experiences
in military training and demobili
zation, In contrast with the nurs
ery room illustrations in ordinary
school first readers.
Books Provided
Two other books, "Learning to
Read," a workbook based on the
reader, and "Arithmetic For
Everyday Life," are based on con
tinuity taken from the reader and
surround the problems confront
ing Pete nnd his friends. A book
for instructors completes the kit.
The reader is illustrated with
photograpiis and opens with a
picture simply labeled "A Sol
dier." The next page introduces
the central character by photo
graph, saying: "This is Private
Pete Smith."
In turn Pete's friends are Intro
duced, including Joe Kent, from
Pete's home town and Daffy,
friendly farm . boy. "Daffy is
short," the story reads. "And he
was fat. Daffy is not fat now.
But he is strong and well. Army
;iife was hard for Daffy
Is G.I. Book
The reader is thoroughly G.I,
and grass-roots American. In onej
pari, me Doys turn arouna 10
look at a pretty girl. They encoun
ter a Callfornian who says his
state is the most wonderful in
the Union. Snatches of American
history, geography and philoso'
phy are woven Into It.
In the end Pete marries Mary
Lou, Joe's sister, and Daffy mar
ries Cathie, a WAC he met ' and
liked.
The work is divided In four
levels, the top level using a 1,400
word vocabulary. Two four-week
courses In both reading and arith
metic are projected, with 20, les
sons in each course. The kit is is
sued by the U. S. armed forces
institute, and Is available for off-
duty study for soldiers seeking
self-improvement. j ,

5 Children Die
In Portland Fire ,
Portland, Ore., April 10 'in
Five children are dead today as
result of fire caused by explosion
of a gasoline can in a trailer
house. Three were burned to
death while a frantic lather
mistakenly believing his son was
in the Inferno tore the dwelling
apart in attempts to reach the
youngsters. Two more died in
hospitals this morning.
The dead are: Donald Cumps
ton, 3, Lois, Compston, 5, and
Barbara Cumpston, 9 all chil
dren of Bert Cumpston, widower,
in whose home the fire occurred;
Victor Jaeger, 4, and Shirley
Jaeger, 6, children of Mr. and
Mrs. Victor L. Jaeger, trailer
camp residents.
Children Left Alone
According to officers, Cumps
ton went to work, leaving the!
children in the charge of his eld
est daughter, Mary Lou,-14. With
Mrs. Jaeger, she went about 100
yards from the house to do some '
washing. ' I
In her absence, Charles Cumps- j
ton, 7, and Eugene Cumpston, 10, 1
decided to build a fire in a small .
"po t- b e 1 1 i e d" stove. Eugene
poured gasoline from a can over
the wood in the stove, and while i
still holding the can, struck a ;
match and dropped it into the
stove. There was a violent explo- j
sion, and the two boys ran out
screaming.
Their cries were heard by John
Lynn, 31, who told police he. be-1
lieved his boy was among those
inside wailing pitifully. With tho
doorway in solid flame, Lynn tore ;
out a section of the house, but
was unable to reach the children
in time. He was later treated for :
burns to both hands.
Boys Badly Burned
He had lifted the two little girls
out of the holocaust first. They
were rushed to hospitals. The
boys were burned almost beyond :
recognition when taken from the
wreckage. The body of Lois was
not recovered until the fire was
out.
City fire equipment and the dis
aster wagon went to the scene.
