The Bulletin, Wednesday, New emphasis put on phonics by educators By David Nydick UPI Staff Writer Reading programs in schools have been under attack by non educators and educators alike. What effect has this criticism had on the schools throughout the country? In many situations, the only change has been an increased emphasis on the teaching of phonics (sounds'. Some years ago the phonics method was under attack and the answer was the present look-say method. This cycle has not achieved much progress. What is wrong with reading program? An analysis of instruc tional methods and materials seems to indicate a variety of problems. Some of the books leave much to be desired. Take a look at your child's reading textbook. The stories may be dull and lack imagination. A child is looking for excitement in his reading. Our modern world is full of fas cinating events. These real events have more creativeness than made up stories. Must Arouse Interest Would you read a dull novel? Why should your child? There cannot be true motivation to learn unless an individual's inter ests are aroused. Consider the kind of reading materials which children do en joy. Have you ever had diffi culty convincing your child to sit. and read a comic book? Boys race through the "Tom Swift" scries. Girls are intrigued by the "Bobsv Twins." "Alice in Won derland" is a classic. Why at tempt to make children enjoy reading about a boy's dull trip to his grandmother's house? A research study, designed to determine the kinds of stories most interesting to children re sulted in some particularly perti nent information. An analysis of the combined responses of boys and girls indi cated that they were interested in action, adventure, surprise. illlu llumui. uuja as a giuup preferred themes concerned with games, sports, hobbies, and hand icraft activities. Girls indicated interest in stories about jumping rope, playing house, collecting dolls and doll's costumes, and caring for the baby. Valuable Information A study of this type supplies valuable Information as to the kinds of stories which would in terest young boys and girls. Where are the best seller lists for children's books? Here is an untapped market. There are mil lions of youngsters waiting. Par ents would not intentionally de prive their child of the opportun ity to read a good book. The majority of textbooks give the impression that nearly every one in the United States belongs to a middle class family and lives in a private suburban home. How unusual this must seem to the apartment dweller who lives in a largo city. Bonks should offer fantasy, es cape, excitement, knowledge, un derstanding, and interest. Yost to give U.S. position UNITED NATIONS, N Y. (I'PD Ambassador Charles W. Yost planned to outline the United States' position today on an Afri can resolution urging Britain to withhold from Southern Rhod desia control over its own army and air force. The resolution was cxecti to be sponsored in the U.N. Secu rity Council this afternoon by Ghana and Morocco. The start of the session was deferred because of the official visit to the United Nations of the King and Queen of Afghanistan. The 32-natinn African group, some of whose memliers were reluctant lo press Britain about the RJiodcsian question, met on the resolution tuitil late Tuesday. The African countries wanted Britain to withhold powers from Southern Rhodesia until constitu tional changes can be made to assure the election of a new gov ernment within the territory. They contend the current gov ernmcnt is made up of a white minority that does not provide representation for the 94 per cent of the territory's population which is Negro.

Approval given revised deed SALEM 'UPI) A revised deed to Eastern Oregon State Hospital land transferred to the Blue Mountain Community College at Pendleton was approved Tuesday by the State Board of Control.

This fact began to dawn in the way the department handled its role in the desegregation of the University of Alabama in June. Tuesday, Atty. Gen. Robert Ken nedy's agency had its smoothest operation yet in the maneuvers which put Negroes into the public schools in Alabama. The key official of the depart ment In Oxford, Tuscaloosa and Birmingham was former law pro fessor Nicholas Katzenbaeh. Scholarly "Nick" Katzenbaeh is the attorney general's right hand man on civil rights. Working with him, however, is quite a team of experts in their own right among them Burke Marshall, John Doar and Joseph Dolan. Reporters who cover the civil rights beat in the South see them everywhere. In Oxford, tlie Justice Depart ment moved in with all flags fly ing. More than 500 U. S. marshals helped bring James H. Meredith, a Negro, to the campus of the University of Mississippi. Katzen baeh and company were right in the line of fire and "Nick" for long hours served as a front line commander for his beleaguered orange-jacketed marshals. When the University of Ala bama desegregation came, the Justice Department tactics had changed perceptibly. The work was quiet, behind the scenes and thorough. On integration day, there were no marshals in sight only Katzenbaeh at the "collego door" to meet Alabama Gov. George Wallace Negro students were kept in tlie background until, after Wal lace's determined stand, the sig nal was given for federalized Na tional Guardsmen. Birmingham produced an even more refined Justice Department operation. Top local officials were briefed before it came off. The department apparently had a big hand again behind the scenes in preparing a sweeping injunction against Wallace that was concurred in by all five dis trict judges in the state. When the school bells rang in Birmingham, it didn't even take the National Guard to accomplish the trick. President Kennedy on the recommendation of his broth er, Robert, the attorney general, hit the Alabama governor with a cease and desist order and ted eralized the National Guard al most with the same stroke of the pen. Behind The Scenes Katzenbaeh. operating between Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, was nowhere to be seen when the his toric integration event took place. When huge and noisy dem onstrations occurred at one of the three schools desegregated in Bir mingham, Dolan was looking on. But the department never hit the panic button as might have hap pened a year ago. Police Chief Jamie Moore had given the department assurance ahead of time that his men could handle any normal amount of trouble. Dolan. convinced he was doing It. passed the word that local authority was at work do ing its job. "The Justice Department didn't come lo Alabama to enforce in tegation hut to enforce a federal court order." a department spokesman said.

The Boeing Co., the world's Irrgest manufacturer of jet trans ports, announced in Seattle that it definitely would be a contender. North American Aviation and Lockheed also were reported to have notified the government of their intention to participate. Tuesday was the deadline for interested companies to inform the Federal Aviation Agency (FAAt whether tliey would com pete for tho prime contract for the airframe design of the super sonic, transport (SST). The Douglas Aircraft Co. dis closed Monday that it would not submit a proposal as a prime con tractor, but would join other firms in a joint effort or accept subcontract work.

Industry sources reported Gen eral Dynamics chose not to be come a contender, partly because of its work on the controversial TFX fighter plane. The FAA said the SST design competition would run "at least until the first of the year." In announcing its entry into the competition, Boeing said propos als in the competition are due with the FAA by Jan. 15. Tlie SST is not expected to be operational until late in the 1960s or 1970 after tlie joint British Franco supersonic plane, the Con- Rabid bat found here A rabid bat with which a dog was playing was recently found in Bend, in the Columbia Federal streets area, according lo infor mation from A. W. Westfall, trl county sanitarian. The sick bat was found in a front yard. The dog is being kept under close observation. News of tlie discovery of a ra bid bat in Bend became known here when it was learned that a case of rabies had been confirm ed in the Portland area by the Oregon Board of Health. A 6-ycar-old Hillshoro girl was bitten there this week by a skunk found to lie rabid. The girl was treated. A survey of the Hillsboro area has been started, and an alert was sent out over the state. In addition to the discovery of a ra bid bat in Deschutes, one was found In Jackson county. A suspected case of rabies In LaPinc was found negative. Also, a sick chipmunk sent to the state health laboratories from Cove Park yielded a negntivo rabies check. i 'Vrln ( i ill r V v LL x & i cordc. Tills has resulted In some charges of government foot-dragging in this country on develop ment of such a craft, but officials contend that once the American craft is ready, it will be better than the Concorde. They have not definitely ruled out the possibility that the United States might yet win tlie race with tlie British and French. President Kennedy has pro posed that private aircraft makers foot $250 million of the estimated $1 billion bill for research and development of an SST. The fed eral government would get back its $750 million outlay later from royalties on salo of tho planes under this plan. 2 youths jailed after wild spree OREGON CITY (UPI) A pair of lu-year-old youths were in Clackamas County Jail hero to day following a wild spree involv ing attempted robbery, a shooting and a wreck in a stolen car Tues day.
