Veteran airlines officials were
a little non-plussed when hand

appeared unescorted at the New

of airlines tickets, his Thai pass
port, and his bassaue check
clutched in his hands.
But Robert was all business.
He had reached the halfway

Wednesday ni?ht at a downtown
service station where firemen
were checking reports of a gas
leak.
Three victims were firemen.
Two firemen received minor in
juries and a hospital reported at
least one other person was injured.
The cinder block station was
torn apart by the blast -from an
underground fuel storage tank,
and windows were shattered

theater, but there was no panic
The explosion also ruptured the
natural gas feeder line running to
the station. It was permitted to
burn until tiremen could dig
through the rubble and find the
cutoff valve.
A woman near the blast .scene
had a heart attack and was taken
to a hospital.

An hour later he was in Man
hattan ' seeing the shimmering
ky-high lights of the world's
tallest skyscraper in the company
of friends. The excitement of
a rough, weather-delayed flight
from Washington gradually sub
sided and Robert was happy and
at home. You could toll by the
satisfied way he chomped his
chewing gum.
'My children know nothing
about fear: they have been taught
to look lor solution rather than
dropping tears." wrote his moth-
Dr. Lydia Na Rannng. in let

Manila to Cairo for Robert's ar
rival, "he is a very independent
little gentleman who has been
making trips by himself since he
was six."
Pays Half-Fare
The American-educated Dr. Na
Hanong. daughter of Manchu
Princess Dcr l.ing of China, de
cided to give Robert a trip
around the world during his
spring school holiday because he
is the only one of her three chil
dren who has not been sent
abroad to school. Her duties as
a faculty member of two Bang
kok universities and as a journ
alist kept her at home.
"Mother thought it was a good
idea to give me a trip while I
still can pay hall-fare." said Rob
ert. "I will be 12 years old in
June, and then I would have lo
pay the full adult fare."
Berry Men
To Be Paid
WASHINGTON (API The gov
eminent is going to pay about 10
million dollars to cranberry grow
ers who were unable to sell tin
contaminated berries after last
fall's cancer scare.
Cranberry growers had asked
13 to 20 million dollars from the
government for' 11159 crop losses
and possible losses in the 1960
crop. They claimed there was no
need for such a scare.
Emergency government loans
already had been offered to grow

they were unable to sell their

LOS ANGELES (UPP-A hus
band and wife team of controver
sial psychologists say pornograph
ic literature should be used "to
instruct children about sex.
Drs. Kberhard and Phyliss
Kroilhauscn Wednesday said in an
address at the annual meeting of
the Los Angeles Health Education
and V.D. Council that the suppres
sion of pornography is actually
harmful.
"fn our clinical experience
there has never been a case
where damage was done through
the reading of pornography," said
Kronhauscn.
"On the other hand, the sup
pression of pornography does
more harm in the suppression of
the normal sex drive."
His wife added she has talked
to children who told her their on
ly knowledge of sex came from
reading so-called pornographic literature.
"I believe most adults are sex
ually ignorant," she said.
"Yet they would oppose their
children reading literature that
informs them of what they as
parents do not or canpot tell them
about sex which is here lo
stay.
The Kronhausens, authors of the
controversial recent book "Porn
ography and the Law," said they
believed there was an attempt by
a small minority lo impose "pri
vate censorship."
The private censor Ihe indi
vidual such as a parent who pre
vents his child from reading cer
tain hooks usually has little or
no idea of what or why he is cen
soring, believes Kronhauscn.
Such a private censor is an in
lellectual snob, said Kronhausen.
"He wants lo read anything and
everything and Ihen tell you that
if your read it you will be
harmed," he said.
But so tar I ve .never seen a
censor harmed."
