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.

Lot has been
learned since
days at Oxford
By Al Kuettn.r
UPI Staff Writer
The Justice Department has
learned a lot since the days of
uxtord. Miss., last September.
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.

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
