Japanese Ragpickers Duel With Knives on Honor Point By DAY INOSIIITA United Press Staff Correspondent TOICYO (UP) Duelling for the sake of honor is not a mon oply of the West nor titled gen try. Toku Mizuo, 35, and Tctsujiro Hirato, 28, don't look like the type who live by the gentleman's code. They are "bataya," or ragpick ers. Bui they duelled for honor just a stone's throw from the peaceful shrine to one of Japan's heroes, the Emperor Meiji. Their weapons were ' kitchen knives, their armor, rags. Mizuo and Hirata were once friends and partners. They met while going through trash cans and took a liking to each other. Mizou, who had a room, took Hir- Children Study Nautical Ditties ANN ARBOR, Mich.

Bitter words .followed and the slurs against each other's charac ter were unacceptable to men of honor. They decided on a duel. The time was just before midnight un der the lonely Sendagaya bridge.

Half an hour after the first blow was struck the police arrived. By that time the two were stag gering from shochu and loss of blood. ,The police officers dragged the bloody pair to a hospital where Mizuo was treated for 11 knife wounds and Hirata for eight. Later, the two were booked at the police station not for vio lating the law against duelling which had gathered dust since 1889, but on a more prosaic charge "assault with dangerous weap ons." Jailers at Kosuge Prison said they have decided to forget wounded honor and become bud dies again In their trash bin partnership. A LITTLE EARLY CONCORD, N. H.

Rejection Called Suicide Basis BAN FRANCISCO (UP) The roots of suicide lie in a childhood conflict, according to Dr Donald D. Jackson, a clinical instructor in psychiatry in the University of California School of Medicine. It appears that suicidal individ uals have experienced, during their childhood, severe rejection by one or both parents, he said, adding: "As long as such an individual lives in a situation in which he is continually accepted, his con flict may not break out into the open. But if he encounters an ex perience producing a marked feel ing of rejection ... he may no longer be able to repress his con flicts." The major situations in which suicide tends to occur, Dr. Jack son said, can bo classified rough ly into two groups: (1) those in volving outright rejection, such as divorce or loss of a job; (2) the anticipation of rejection, such as loss of prestige or a failure in one's work. Spain Seeking More Aid From United States Spain feels that its valu to the United States in the building up of Western defenses against Com munist aggression is not properly recognized. Spanish spokesmen are com plaining that General Francisco Franco's government is not get ting the economic aid it is entitled to under the Spansh-American Military Agreement. From the purely military view point, the ageement is working well. But the feeling in Spain is that economic aid, which is part of the agreement, is being doled out with a very reluctant hand. American economic aid for the fiscal years 1954-1955 totaled 170-million-dollars. Spain feels that other countries which are of less potential value to the United Stales are getting more. Spanish dissatisfaction has not yet reached the point where the smooth working of the military part of the agreement is endan gered. Agreement In Danger But it could reach that point if the United States let tile situation drift. Spain, with pretty good reason, regards itself as the givnt anti- Communist bastion of Western Europe. It occupies, with Portugal, a pen insula which forms the extreme Southwestern coiner of Europe. If, in the event of a war, Communist armies swept over Western Europe, there would be hope of slopping them ut the Pyrenees Mountains which form the frontier between Franco and Spain. Politically also, Spain is an anti Communist bastion. There are strong Communist movements in France and Italy. In Spain there is none. France and Italy are weakened by recurrent ' Cabinet crises. Spain has a one-party politi cal system, with Franco as un disputed leader. In fact, it wus Spain's position as a "totalitarian" country which kept it for years outside the West em defense setup. The United Nn (ions' even boycotted it diplomat ically for a time after World War II. But the steady encroachment of Russian Communism in Europe forced a reappraisal of policy. The Western Allies started to realize the potential value of Spain with its stable government and its army of 300,000 or more men behind the Pyrenees. Diplomatic Boycott Lifted The diplomatic boycott was lift ed, and alter long negotiation a Spanish-American Military Agree ment was signed on Sept. 26, 1953. It provided that the United States should get both air and naval bases at strategic points all over Spain, in return for military and economic aid. These bases are being developed steadily. There are tojw air bases in the area of Madrid, in the center of Spain, in the northeastern part of the country, and in the south west. There are to be naval bases on both the Mediterranean and At lantic coasts. American military rneii are fre- United States is equipping the United States is ecjuippng the Spansli army and air force. There is every reason to believe that authorities in Washington will recognize 'the Spanish aid com- plants, and that before long a po tentially serious situation will be cleared up.

(UP) New Hampshire educators are prepar ing for a few critical years im mediately ahead of the slate's public school system. Enrollment is expected to jiunp nearly 20 per cent by the 1959-60 school year, or about 17,000 more pupils. In this period, the state esti mates it will need 400 more ele mentary teachers and 125 more high school teachers. However, the stute also has too quick turnover of teachers.
