» If there -were some manner in which to gauge the enthusiasm of students for school work, the honors, would prabably go to a couple; of fifth grade students in • the Lincoln school—and they don’t attend; classes in person. ; They are very much present inj spirit and voice though—especial-; ly the|. latter—for both are able’ to attend clashes through the med’.j urn of a two-way loudspeaker sys-; tern. ; ! Naomi Sheets, daughter of Mr J and JMrs. Gerald , Sheets, of 627; Schirmeyer street, and, John Paul , McAhfen, son pf Mr. and Mrs) Paul | McAhren, of 1212 West) Madison, each testified that “it was Wonderful.” I The two students, who are unable t o classes because of it|-i nesses .which confine them to thelt] hornet, are able to participate irt class quizzee, contests or disi cessions almost as though theif were sitting with their-Classmates, Thjsough the joint efforts of Decatur school board and . the Citizens t Telephone company th4 children are - able to “tune in’’ day for their classes. ■ t A speaker is installed in Miss, Opal Sprunger’s classroo|n, of which John iPaul is a member, and another in the Classroom of Miss Glenniys Roop, Naomi s room. Th? children at home each has a set near their bed which they can .control, and which allow?: them] to break into the classroonj discussion by; simply pressing a buttoil. \ i Th£ children thus have be com? an active part of class room train* ing. both of them agree that it’d “much nicer” than when visiting teachers came to’ their homes. 1 j “This way,” Naomi said. “ym| feel is if you’re right in the clas? room : with the other kids.” John Paul, later at his home] said "much the same thing. “The visiting teachers were nice, but this is nicer.” 4 . I The mothers of the children were; also highly sold on the sy,4 / .tem. rl don’t know what we’d dd without ** naw.* Mrs. Sheets said, “It’s ;been a wonderful thing sos John) Paul.” Mrs. Me Ahern latef .told the visiting officiate. “Het been so excited about it ever sine? it was installed.”. : j Neither mother interferes tod much' with their students while “in class.” Mrs. Sheets was ironing in another room when' officials arrived While bfaomi eat on the aide of her bed participating , in trie class work.

The; inspection tour convinced , the group that!’ the investment in tl»e system was perhaps one of the wisest made. For It enabled not only the stu\ dents at home to become part of , their respective classes, “but it also enabled members who yrere it} the classrooms to’learn the fundeinental spirit of cooperation.’’: as superintendent Brown i put it. Perhaps that is she most noticej able thing: the students in the classes are more than eager to , bring Naomi and John Paul into the rbom. The loudspeaker on the vj-all is not merely an instrument, ij is Sensed from the children, bet rather it is their classmates, and they treat the matter as something ' very important—which of courafe it is. While the two-way system al* lows the youngsters to fill their days with school work, a certain amount-of therapy is also necessary to fill the other hours. There’s reading, oH course, studying the day s lessons. There are pretty serious discussions with? the family in the evening: i there’s a great deal of homing and dreaming on the part of the children;; and there’s the hobby. John Paul for example, makes plaster of paris ornaments, like a scroll which he gave to school and telephone officials after their visit to his home Thursday. The bedfast \lad gave each of them one of the scrolls on which was painted: “Prayer changes things.”. The men who came to visit fiftn grade student John Phul looked at the u’ords a long time before they drove away. — I : INDIANA WEATHER 1 ; . Fair and warmer tonight. Sunday partly eloudy and mild.

Agree To Try Again To Set Truce Talks Liaison Officers To C Meet Again Tonight ( To Seek Agreement UN Advance Rase, Munsan, Korea. Oct. 13.—(UP)— United Nations and Communist liaison of* fleers agreed today to try again to arrange resumption of the Korean truce talks despite a Red charge' that UN planes seated thl ence area. A UN spokesman said the liaison officers will meet at 10‘a.m. tomorrow (7 p.m. today CST) “to settle administrative matters deemed essential before the main delegation? resume the plenary sessions” at the new site, Pan-Mun-Jom. The spokesman said yesterday—before the alleged straffing incident—that the liaison groups had agreed on all “ground rules" for resumption of the cease-fire conference except the extent of the neutral area around the Communist truce camp at Kaesong. The liaison officers spent all Saturday morning and part of the afternoon investigating two oCmmunist charges: , 1. That three American jet planes Friday night strafed the Jan-Mun>Jom-Kaesong road 900 yards north of the conference tent, killing a 12-year-old Korean boy and wounding his baby brother. 2. — That the same jets or three others Friday night strafed abandoned Communist hill positions three miles north of KadsOng but within the five-mile neutral zone around the former site of the truce conference in Kaesong. Thpre has been no agreement yet on altering the neutral zone around Kaeeong. The UN officers, Col. Don O. Darrow of Tacoma, Waph., and Lt. Col. Norman B. Edwards of Diamond. W. Va., refused to disclose their conclusions. They said only that they would report, to -NMrtr superiors. > However, Edwards at one point during the' investigation near Pan-Mun-Jdm snorted and said .50* Caliber machine-gun slugs in the road had not been there Friday night when a UN team made a preliminary inspection in the dark. At the hill positions north of Kaesong. Edwards told Chang that he was satisfied that the area had been strafed, but said he couldn’t tell when. j-, ' .

GKs To See First Atomic Maneuvers Ringside Seats At Las Vegas Maneuver Las Vegas. Nev., Oct.' 13. —(UP) —Most of the G.l.’s who will have a ringside seat to the first atomic maneuvers in world history consider their assignment "just another job.” \ They are curious about what they will see, hear and feel, but are not frightened \ nor even apprehensive. Some have the feeling it is “just a big explosion” although it involves toying with baby Abombs. The 1,200 troops that will take an active part in the atomic weapons tests expected to (>egin near here next week are fjrom the 11th airborne division, Ft. Campbell, Ky. Weapons and equipment will be placed in battle positions close to the detonation sites and the men will then pull back to watch the explosions.

But they will welcomte any lees formal efforts by the UN to start new negotiations with the British. This appeared to doom BritaWs . watered-down resolution, the. last I revision of which was published ’ yesterday. Although that measure j asks only that the security council call for “the resumption of negotia- * tions at the earliest practicable . moment,” it makes a passing ref- . erence to the international court “ injunction, which Iran refuses to d recognise. .

Welfare Bills , Tof ace Rough Row In Senate Many Os Lawmakers i Putting On Pressure To Close Session Indianapolis, Oct. 13.—(UP)— "Let's go home for good” murmurings plagued Republican leaders in the Indiana legislature today as they attempted to drum up enthusiasm for a home-rule welfare program.. I „,' jJ f /• The eight home-rule bills, policy measures; of the state GOP, were safely the hopse, but ithere was no optimistic indication they will pass.the senate when the two chambers reconvene Monday at 2 p.m. ’ Republicans may be 'forced to content; themselves with passage of an appropriation measure. Sen. Sam Johnson, R.. Andersop, described it as “an insurance -policy to protect the needy Until we get federal funds.” Both Republicans and Democrats expect favorable congressional action to permit Indiana and other states to bare welfare records and still retain federal welfare aid. That would solve the welfare financial crisis for which governor Schricker called the special session. With the crisis end in sight, many lawmakers pressured their* party leaders to call a halt* io the three- - week-old special session. The pressure erased talk of a possible week long adjourn meat until Oct. 22 and convinced! party chieftains they should return next Week and try to conclude all business. Sen. John W. Van Ness, R., Valparaiso, senate president pro tern, said the Gop will concentrate on passing an appropriation bill. It would allow Indiana to dip into its general fund surplus to finance welfare should federal funds not be restored. t Van Ness was not certain what action will be taken on seven other home-rule bills. These -would reorganize the entire state welfare program, generally stripping the state welfare department of control and giving it to counties. Senate Republicans made an unsuccessful attempt yesterday to speed- up passage of the appropria, tion bllll but their motion to suspend rules failed to pass. If all, 26 senate Republicans—including |wo erstwhile “rebels” who indicated they will go along if convinced tie legislation will not again jeopardise the receipt of federal aid—vote for the home-rule bills, passage is assured. ' But it will be a slow process without Democratic support of motions to suspend rules. A spokesman for the Democrats. Sen. Leo Stemle of Jasper, said his party feels the primary problem facing the lawmakers will be settled by congress and there is no need to; enact additional welfare legislation 4,185 Registered To Vote In This City Figures Released By County Clerk Approximately 4,186 z Decatur voters are eligible to go to the polls November 6 and mark the proper spaces on the ballots for candidates of their choice in the city election, according to the unofficial number. \ Emphasizing the word “approximately,” Jaberg stated that “therb is some duplication in the figures, which will of course be caught later.

Report Willing To Give Up Bases If Egypt Agrees To Defense Plan Ixindon, Oct. 13.—(UP)—Britain issued “shoot to kill” orders today to its Suez Capal zone troops but / was reported- willing to give up bases in that area if Egypt agrees to cooperate in a new international defense plan for the' middle east. Britain also ordered troop teim forcemeats into the Sudan and cancelled leaves of all I British paratroopers on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Maneuvers there were called off, and informed sources in Cyprus said (the paratroopers soon would leave to bolster the Suez forces. \ i British troop! in the Suez area, center of a bitter political dispute between Egypt and Britain, were told to shoot to kill if they are attacked. But authoritative sources here , said Britain Would formally hand over her Suez bases to Egypt if that d country accepts equal partnership in a defense proposal offered by the United States, Britain, France and Turkey against Communist aggression. The treaty allows Britain to maintain troops in the Suez area until 1956 but Egypt has announced plans to junk the pact and oust the British forces. I Authoritative sources said if Egypt rejects ttte new proopsals the . four powers will go ahead anyway with the idea. J A high Egyptian source said in r Cairo that any proposal that did not accept “in principle” the evacu- ’ ation of British troops from the Suez Canal zone would be rejected. . Britain moved swiftly on both the ' military and diplotrtatfc fronts to r head off a middle east explosion over Egypt’s threat to scrap the 1936 Anglo-Egyptian treaty. Stringent defense orders went out ' to more than 10,000 British troops j \ ip the Suez area. Guard posts were i strengthened fend men on outpost duty were provided with *killer dogs to prevent attack from any quarter. The war office ordered the Squth Lancashire regiment stationed in . Trieste to depart for Khartoum, capital of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, by Oct. 25. A spokesman said the move was a “routine” one plan-ned-months ago. but admitted the schedule had been advanced one month. Simultaneously, the foreign! office said British ambassador Sir Ralph Stevenson presented a fourpower defuse proposal this morning to 'Egyptian foreign minister Salah fel Din Pasha. The plan, sponsored jointly by the United States. Britain. France and Turkey, offers Egypt ecfual partnership in a middle east defense Officials said Britain planned to publish details of the proposal pfter «teven!on reports Egypt’s reaction. In Cairo, police proclaimed a state of emergency to prevent antiBritish demonstrations from boiling over into serious disturbances. They began early this week after Egypt announced its intention to scrap its 1936 treaty with Britain. *° Dispatch of British troops reinforcements to the Sudan-s-which Egypt says she will place under the crown of King -H Farouk—followed foreign secretary Herbert Morrison's warning last night that Britain will meet force by force. At present, the Sudan is administered jointly by Britain and Egypt under terms of an 1899 agreement reiterated in the 1936 treaty. Britain holds to the belief tljat the \ Sudan’s future status must be decided by the Sudanese themselves. > Adams County Gives t $1,461.48 To Relief The Adams county Red Cross chapter has sent a check for >1.461. 48 to the American Red Drdss the midwest flood victims, Roscoe Glendening, county chairman.
