TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNfc Thursday, February 8, 19S8 Rossellini Request Posiponed by Court Rome (I? A Rome mag istrate's court today postpon ed indefinitely movie director Roberto Rossellini's legal bat tle for annulment of his mar riage to actress Ingrid Berg man. Attorneys for Miss Berg man and Rossellini -asked Judge Mario Elia for a post ponement until a time to be fixed by them and he im mediately gave his permis sion. Neither Rossellini nor Miss Bergman was present. Rossel lini flew to Paris Wednesday night. Miss Bergman was in London completing a picture with Cary Grant. Rossellini's quest was based on grounds that Swedish law did not recognize Miss Berg man's divorce from her first husband, Swedish surgeon Pe ter Lindstrom, and that the marriage to Rossellini there fore was not valid. In London the Swedish ac tress told United Press she would return to Rome at the end of the week but not in connection with the annul ment proceedings. Schoofl (MiciaDs Appeal for Money To Meflp Curb Student Lawlessness More farm workers are killed by accident than in any other major occupation 3,700 last year. Another 310, 000 farm workers suffered dis abling injuries. ( x. it an i SPECIALIZED BUSINESS SKILLS COMMAND BETTER PAY TRAIN TODAY! CA J-J137 New York IPi School and city officials, faced with fresh teen-age violence and parent teacher criticism of a new school anti-crime program, ap pealed to the state today for more money to help curb stu dent lawlessness. Pupils beat or stabbed two student monitors in schools in Manhattan and the Bronx Wednesday, and at another school detectives arrested a 19-year-old youth who admit ted, they said, that he had robbed two pupils in the school to get money for nar cotics. Dr. William Jansen, super intendent of schools, and Charles H. Silver, Board of Education president, was to ask state officials arid legis lators in Albany today for more state aid for the schools. Mayor Robert F. Wagner also planned to confer there with Gov. Averell Harriman on ways to improve New York City's violence-beset schools Critics Hit Budget A barrage of criticism from parent, teacher and citizens groups hit the Board's $520 million budget for 1958-59 when it was submitted form ally to the city budget direct or Wednesday. The budget in cludes funds for adding six new schools in which youth ful trouble makers and de linquents would be segregat ed from other pupils, as part of an anti-crime program adopted by the Board Tues day. Organizations called the program warmed-over, "sup erficial," "bankrupt" and "in adequate." The United Parents associa tion asked the Board to seek more money and charged that its "new" program actually contained nothing new. The Teachers Union said "there is no cheap way out of this school crisis" and the Citi zens' Committee for the Chil dren of New York, Inc. said the plan was "boomed to fail" unless it became part of a "realistic" state and local program. Monitor Stabbed In the latest outbreaks of violence that in recent weeks has included two rapes and several beatings and rob beries, a 14-year-old Negro student stabbed monitor Philip Romano, 15, when the monitor stopped him from en tering Henry Hudson Junior High school before the open ing bell rang. Romano was hospitalized with two stab wounds near the abdomen. Later, three students at George Washington High school beat 16-year-old Frank Sloan so severely he was taken to a hospital with a brain concussion. At the High School of Music and Arts in Manhat tan, detectives arrested Rob ert Asby, 19, who said he was recently released from seven months of hospital treatment for drug addiction. They said he confessed robbing two stu dents of wristwatches and money Jan. 27 and last Tuesday! Violence in Broklyn Junior High School Not Race Problem Editor's note: This If the first of two articles about crlminial vio lence in schools. By ALBERT McCOLLOUGH United Press Correspondent New York IP) A junior high school principal flings himself to death from a rooftop. He has headed a school where in the past few weeks: A white girl has been raped by a Negro boy in a corridor. Two Negro boys attack an other with a knife and a shovel handle. Two Negro boys fight a po liceman who ordered them to move away from the school grounds. Two other Negro boys beat up the school's white recrea tion director. The school is John Marshall Junior High school in Brook lyn. It has 1,214 students 45 per cent white, 45 per cent Negro and 10 per cent Puerto Rican. The violence leads a Missis sippi congressman to "hope" New York's National Guard will not be federalized. It draws from Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus the caustic query of what similar be havior at Little Rock Central High school would have pro voked. Is this specific New York school case, then, an indict ment of the evils of trying to integrate the public schools? Or is it a manifestation of vicious juvenile crime that is plaguing every large city in the nation regardless of race problems? Not a Race Question One significant fact is this: In conversations with teach ers, students, parents, police and small shop merchants in the neighborhood, the race question is seldom mentioned as a reason for the violence. This has long been a melting pot area in a city that is a melting pot. It so happens that Negroes were involved in most of these incidents. And the grand jury now investigating Brook lyn schools was called because a judge was angered by the case of a Negro boy who walked into a classroom and threw lye into the face of a white boy. After sentencing the attacker the judge called the jury. But many incidents in the city's schools have in volved white offenders. What's more, most of the youths involved in the inci dents at John Marshall were not from that school. They were involved in what has be come a favorite trick for young hoodlums playing hookey from their own school and raising trouble in anoth er where they are not known. 'Problem Schools' One proposed remedy is segregation not by race but segregation, of the juvenile delinquents , and troublesome students into "problem schools" apart from the oth ers. A Visit to John Marshall disclosed teachers shocked at the suicide of Principal George Goldfarb, a dedicated educator only two years from retirement. Parents are wor ried, some pupils tough and belligerent, some just plain scared. Few teachers will talk with reporters. Mothers, members of the PTA, for a long time have helped keep order in the halls.

Now a policeman patrols inside school as do officers in 40 New York public schools. Step into a luncheonette across from John Marshall, while you wait for classes to end, and listen: "It's changed," a man says. "We were happy when we first moved here. Started Ten Years Ago "It seemed to happen over night, though it really started 10 years ago, I guess, when they started the projects. (Public housing projects built a few blocks away in what was a neighborhood of one family homes.) "But three years ago was when the troubles really be gan. The muggings, robberies, rapes. They happen all the time now. It isn't safe here anymore. You don't go out at night and you worry in the daytime, too. My wife, my daughter, they're afraid . . ." A woman enters, joins, the talk. "I've been living here over 20 years, 13 of them right across from the school. My kid goes there. I tremble until she comes home." What is she going to do about it? "Nothing! I'm not doing anything. You live here, you can't move away. Do I form committees? Do I join com mittees? No. I don't make any fuss. My kid goes to school here and I don't want her to get hurt."

Bing Crosby's Wife I A Little Bit of News From All Over Expecting in August Hollywood (tPi Crooner Bing Crosby, 53, and his 23-year-old- petite brunette wife, actress Kathy Grant, are ex pecting a child this August. The pretty, Texas-born ac tress confirmed Wednesday night that she was pregnant. "We both hope everyone will be as happy as we are," she said.

Planes Join Search For B47 Sfralojef March AFB, Calif. (IP) Air Force and Coast Guard planes searched the ocean of Santa Barbara, about 150 miles north of here, today for a B47 Stratojet, missing with three aboard. The six-engine bomber, at tached to the 22nd Bomb Wing here, was declared miss ing Wednesday night on a flight from the San Francisco Bay Area to this installation. An Air Force spokesman said the craft was last heard from at 5:56 p.m. as it was flying over the Santa Barbara area. No trouble was indicat ed in the radioed report.

S. Coast Guard. Names of the crewmen were not disclosed. The average retired worker benefit from Social Security in 1955 was $61.37 a month, 20 per cent higher than in 1954. By DOC QUIGG United Press Correspondent New York HP) Nibbles of news from all over: The leading Moscow liter ary newspaper appraises Am erican novelist Howard Fast, who broke with the Commu nist Party, as immodest, dis courteous, cheap, wall-eyed. cowardly, dishonest, indecent, a swindler, an opportunist, a savage, a deserter, and adds it is treating his departure calmly." That's fine, boys. Nothing like keeping calm. Some peo ple would have blown their tops. surge of excitement attend ing the launching of the Am erican satellite was the dis patch from Copenhagen, Den mark, about the rather thoughtful story making the rounds of the Copenhagen cafes. It seems that the Am erican and the Russian satel lite met in space and got along fine together they both spoke German. "Wie geht's, Bud, still making der rounds, nein?" A French newspaper, Paris- Presse, has let ' itself in for massive retaliation by criti cizing an Italian monument. Gina Lollobrigida's bust, it said, "Is too much, and it's badly displayed." A news paper in Rome is rumored to be countering with a demand that the Eiffel Tower be ban ned as too conspicuous. A headline on the front page of the New York Times says: "Can Time Run Back wards, Too? U.S. Tests Sub- Atom Theory For Possible Use In Outer Space." The possibility of a backward run in time should hold some in terest in an inner space, also the inside of prisons. 'Egg and Y Author Victim of Cancer Seattle (IP) Betty MacDon ald, author of the best selling "The Egg and I" and other books, was in critical condi tion with cancer today at Maynard hospital here. Hospital attendants said Mrs. MacDonald has been in a coma part of the time dur ing the past week. Mrs. MacDonald returned from her Carmel Valley, Calif., residence last Septem ber for treatment. She has been in and out of the hos pital ever since and was last admitted shortly before Christmas. The. Magicians Guild of America, meeting in New York, unanimously elected as dean of the guild Harry Blackstone, one of the last of the old-time magicians. Wil bur, our office grouch, says if we want a hurry-up in our missile program why not give Harry a chance at floating a satellite? What Redstone can do with fuel, maybe Black stone can do with mirrors. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals opened a $275,000 air - conditioned "animalport" at New York International AiBport. It will be a deluxe shelter for the thousands of critters, from elephants to fish, that pass through by air every year. Now aspiring animal actors the world over may begin advertising "Have fur, will fly" or, in the case of kangaroos in the jet age, "Have pocket, will rocket." On this day, 115 years ago, the first minstrel show open ed in the Bowery Amphithea ter in New York. Nv, as an institution, it seemV to be quite dead and buried, and a whole generation of Ameri cans is growing up without knowing why a chicken crosses the road.
