They're going about it in a small way, but they like it in a big way. - That's the word from Pei ping's official mouthpiece, the New China News Agency. According to a New China report monitored here, ''auto matic .production, lines have been adopted in a number of machine - building plants in China." . . The agency's description of the assembly line indicates it is a primitive thing by Ameri can standards. But in Peiping they apparently think it's tops. " ' . Raised Output In the hand gauge produc tion department of the Har bin measuring instrument and cutting tools plant, for in stance, the Red report said the assembly line "has raised output nine-fold and reduced the number of workers from seven to two." The assembly line methods were worked out jointly by research scientists under the First - Ministry of Machine Building ' and the engineers and workers of the plant, the agency said. - "Automatic production is a new development" in China, it added. And it will be used more in the future as Chinese industry progresses toward its goal of trying to "walk on two legs." - But the agency indicated that most of China's working millions cannot:;, expect the ease of the assembly line for some time to come." The reason for this, the re port strongly implied, is that the bulk of Chinese industry still has a long way to go be fore it even gets to the as sembly line stage. New China put it this way: 'The general stress at present is on mechanization and semi- mechanization." Ideas Sought To help, the government has called on workers to pitch in with their ideas for improv ing production methods. - If the response of the work ers is any indication they ap parently want plenty of im provements. ...In North China's leading in dustrial city of Tientsin alone, more than one million pro posals were put forward "by rank and file workers in the first 10 months of this year," the agency reported. , "Two-thirds of them were adopted," it added. "While many of these inno vations in themselves bring only small ' improvements," the agency said, "together they have a tremendous im pact on production resulting in higher efficiency, , lighter work, better quality and low er costs." Man Missing for 2 Weeks Returns Yakima - (UPD - Levari Cow- den, 33, a Toppenish, Wash., building" contractor, returned home unharmed Wednesday night after being ; reported missing for two weeks. Sheriff Bert Guns said that Cowden admitted to FBI agents and sheriffs deputies that reports he had been kid naped were false. . Cowden said he had been concerned over his business affairs and had left the area "on. the spur of the moment." He said he drove his station wagon to Spokane and trav eled by bus to Jacksonville, Fla., where he went to work as a carpenter". - He told officers that after working In that city for sev eral days he began thinking about his family In Toppenish and decided to return. Sheriff Guns had instigated an all-out search for Cowden after he was reported missing with several hundred dollars on his person. . -'- KS DAUGHTER Pari --dTD - Nikita Khru shchev's daughter Rada ar rived here Thursday with her husband,-Izvestia editor Al exei Adzhubei, for a -week-long visit.

This was the largest annual Increase since 1948. Empty School Obituaries Building Symbol Of Race Hatred Dublin, Ga.-IUPD-A modern school building stands empty and unused in the nearby ghost town of Brewton today, a costly symbol of raciol bit terness in Georgia. The school was put up three years ago to serve 500 Negro children. It cost the State Building Authority $262, 420.58 to construct. And it cost another $306,491.93 to build a replacement. Withering Away V What happened was this: Brewton, which is five miles from Dublin, is one of those hundreds of small communi ties in the South that are with ering away as a result of mi gration to the cities. Only a small number of white residents still live there, and its white school was aban doned a number of years ago when a new one was ' built closer to the city. So the state decided to build an addition to the abandoned structure and make a Negro school out of it. This is the one that stands empty today still looking brand new de spite its many smashed win dows, damage caused by rain and vandals, a schoolyard grown with weeds' and mod ern classrooms, cafeteria and science labs stripped of their equipment. The reason the school hasn't been used is that one of Brew ton's white residents, Millard Beall, produced a deed which he said showed that two of the classrooms jutted onto his property. 14 Acres Donated As long as there was any chance the school might be attended by Negroes, Beall would not relinquish his claim.. But then state Rep. Herschel Lovett of Dublin do nated 14 acres of land for a new Negro school and, Beall did give up his title. Actually, I. H. McLendon, principal of the new Negro school, believes it serves the area better than the other one could have and is pleased with the outcome of the Brew ton incident. The new school, named for. Negro physician B. D. Perry, is attended by 644 children. But the problem of what to do with the abandoned structure remains. Lovett has started a campaign to have the state relinquish its title LLOYD KELLER Funeral services for Lloyd Keller, 60, of 624 Valley View dr., who died Tuesday, will be held at Conger-Morris Funer al home downtown chapel Monday at 1:30 p.m. Com mittal will be in Eastwood Odd Fellows cemetery.
