Schooling for
Prince Charles '
Being Studied
London (U.R) Prince Charles
will be six years old next month
and all of Britain Is debating
whether the heir to the throne
should be educated by private
tutors or whether he should go
to public school, , -
The conservative element
. thinks Charles should remain in
the hands of tutors, at least for
a few more years.
Public School Favored .,
But another faction wants the
future monarch to be educated
in a rough and ready public
school such as Gordonstoun in
Scotland. The Duke of Edin
burgh was educated there and
he would like to see his son get
the same tough training.
A decision by the royal family
is expected around the time of
Charles' birthday, Nov. 14. At
that time another decision prob
ably will be made affecting the
prince's future. , , '
This is whether the youngster
should be proclaimed the Prince
of Wales. The Welsh are anxious
for this to happen as soon as
possible, but Queen Elizabeth
feels her son Is .still too young
. to understand the majectic cere

the meaning of the vote after

the country?
If you asked the man in the
street, the man whose pocket
book and job might be affected
by the outcome, he probably
would tell you the answer is
furnished by a vague entity he
calls "the government."- 1
He couldn't be more wrong.

Five Underseas
Volcanoes Found
Neat Hawaii Isles
; Los Angeles U.R) Five un
dersea volcanoes, probably form
ed within the last million years,
have been discovered southeast
of the Hawaiian Islands, it has
been disclosed here.
The disclosure was made by
Dr.. Kenneth C. Emery, profes
sor of geology and oceanography
at the University ol souinern
California; who said that al
though one of the cones is 12,000
feet high, its crater stiU is 5300
feet below the ocean surface. .
Discovered by Echoes .
The volcanoes were discov
ered by echo soundings, Emery
Said;: ' i
The other volcanoes, he add
ed, have heights of 10,500 feet,
55001 feet, 9000 feet and 3000
feet, all under the ocean's sur
face. The 5500 foot volcano is
11,500 feet under water.
"They may become new is
lands of the Hawaiian chain in
few hundred of thousands ol
years, " Emery saia. -ine sea
mounts are in an area in which
4553 earthquakes were detected
in six weeks in 1B52."
Emerv said evidence strongly
suggests that the center of vol
canic activity in the Hawaiian
Islands has migrated slowly
from northwest to southeast.
Chessman Turned
Down By High Court
Washington (U.R) The Su
preme Court . has refused . zor
the seventh time to grant a hear
ing to Caryl W. Chessman, Cal
ifornia convict who wrote a best
selling autobiography from his
San Quentin Prison death cell.
However, the court said
Chessman may apply in an ap
propriate federal district court
for a writ of habeas corpus to
test the fairness of his trial.
Chessman's execution had
been stayed by a California
judge pending his appeal to the
Supreme Court. By today's ac
tion, the high court washed its
hand of the matter.
It is now up to California as
to when he will be executed.
Chessman has been confined in
death row for six years await
ing execution in the prison gas
chamber. -
