The report also notes that chil- dren im the one room school ex- perience less stress than-those in graded schools. Because of this it suggests more individual teach- ing of the retarded child in the

one room school; increased train- ing of teachers at normal school level in problems of retardation; counselling of teachers by pro-

staff; and a home teach- ing program.

Special classes for the trainable retarded are approved but it is noted that Charlottetown: is the only location in the province wi sufficient population to demand a permanent class.

Dr. Beck states it has been sug- gested that such classes be set up in other areas to serve twr or three communities on a rotat- ing basis with a mobile teacher. He also notes the necessity of paying such teachers out of pro- vincial funds.

By BERNARD DUFRESNE

Canadian Press Staff Writer

OTTAWA (CP) — An 18month @xperiment in frequency modula- tion radio was authorized Friday by the board of broadcast gov-

ernors.

The experiment, involving net- work FM broadcasting, will link up CBC FM stations in Montrel, Ottawa and Toronto. Program- ming of quality music will be broadcast on the new network, which was proposed by the CBC last July.

The board of broadcast gover- Mors deferred a decision until Friday to study the question of

FM broadcasting. It asked the, ’

CBC to report on its operations

at the end of the experimental E

period when the board will re- view its policy.

The board also recommended the*licensing of a new private television station in Grand Falls,

fid., linked to CJON - TV St. John’s, Nfid., and of new private radio stations in Joliette and

3 Canadians Elected In U.K.

By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (OP) — Three Cana-

ian - born candidates, all Com servatives, coasted home with comfortable majorities in the British election.

E.H.C. (Ted) Leather, defend- ing‘ the seat of Somerset North. increased his majority to 6,783 from 4,313. Leather one of the original members of the 1st Cana- dian Parachute Battalion, was born in Toronto and grew up in Hamilton.

Sir Beverley Baxter, also form- :

tly of Toronto, had nearly 2,000

votes shaved off his majority in| |

Southgate, a London constituency, but still had a 15,613 edge. AITKEN RETURNS

The third Conservative, Bill Aitken, also dropped a little of his comfortable majority in Bury St. Edmunds. Aitken, a nephew of Lord Beaverbrook, was edu- cated in Toronto.

Mrs. Verdun Perl, a Liberal candidate -born in Natal, B. C., was less fortunate and wound up bottom, of the poll in Abingdon. Berkshire. Mrs. Perl once played the violin in the Vancouver Sym- phony Orchestra.

But at the moment informed sources say it would be unwise

To do this the government could switch its support policy for butter to a deficiency payment, instead of buying it as it does now at a floor price of 64 cents a pound.

The government would have w sell the butter it paid 64 cents a pound for at something like 50 cents a pound. Recent London — for butter from Poland, vew Zealand. Denmark, The Netherlands and Australia, ranged from 44 to 53 cents.

The Canadian Association of Consumers, for one, takes strong cbjection to any such action. Comments Isabel Atkinson of Ot- tawa. association national presi- dent:

“We are still opposed to poli- cies that involye the disposal any- where abroad at prices below that charged Canadian consum- ers. We feel the surplus is the re- sult of a price support that is un- duly high. The consumer suffers at both (tax-paying and butter- buying) ends.”

MUST LOSE

The government currently has on its hands about 100,000,000 pounds of butter. It can’t sell it at home because this would’ dis-

Among the charred remains of theatre ,programs and _ ticket stubs from the Broadway play J.B., firemen found 10 bodies. One of them was. that of Prof. Ernest Sixta, the president of the faculty association.

“Don't panic, don’t panic,” the history professor had called out.

But, said bus driver Carmen Nini, 40, ‘“‘the kids got panicky and jammed up at the front door.”’

Forty girls, the professor and driver were on the ill-fated bus and 44 on the bus ahead.

The truck plowed into the rear of the bus at about ‘35 miles an hour. The bus was knocked into the other lane and its.gas tank exploded.

Ike Moves ToEnd Yank Steel Strike

By NORMAN WALKER WASHINGTON (AP)—With un- ion and industry hopelessly dead- jocked, President Eisenhower

2 | Friday set_in motion legal ma- = jchinery to temporarily end the §. | steel strike in the United States, ‘4 |now 87 days old.

“If permitted to continue, this

strike would imperil the national

health and safety,” Eisenhower

said.

“The national interest dematids an immediate resumption of pro-

duction in this vital industry.’

The president named a three- man fact - finding panel and in- —s it to report to him by

16.

WEEK TO GO

Since Eisenhower must have this report before he can seek a strike-ending court injunction un- der the Taft-Hartley labor law, the walkout may last at least an- other week and perhaps several days longer.

The court order would send the |

steel workers baek to work for 80

days. Unless a_ settlement is}

reached during this “‘cooling off’ period, there is nothing to keep the strike from resuming—unless the government takes action.

It was the second time this week that Eisenhower had in-

|voked the Taft - Hartley law’s

emergency provisions to halt a strike he said endangered the na- tional health and safety. He acted

learlier to stop the

along the U.S, eastern and -gulf coasts.

The three named tothe steel inquiry panel are George W. Taylor, Philadelphia; John Perk- ins, Newark, Del., president of the University of Delaware, and Paul N. Lehoczky, Columbus, Ohio, chairman of industrial e- gineering at Ohio State Univer sity.

Taylor and Lehoczky are sea- soned labor arbitrators: Perkins is an expert in political science,

With a week to work, it was expected the panel may try to achieve a voluntary settlement while at the same time amassing data required for their report te Eisenhower.

-~ The president said he was in- voking the Taft-Harley law in the steel strike with profound regret that the industry and striking steel workers hadn't been able te solve the dispute on their own,

But both sides; Eisenhower said, have told him they saw noe hope for an early voluntary set- tlement.

1,300 Roman Catholics began the annual Catholie Social Life con- ference Friday night, a serious study of their church’s social teachings that continues until late Sunday night.

The family is the theme of this year’s oer. of clergy and laity from all 10 provinces. The bishops, priests, brothers, nuns and lay delegates present will try to find ways of promoting Chris- tian ideals of family life in today’s living conditions.

Keynote sermon was to be given by Archbishop J. Gerald Berry of Halifax, one of 19 bish- ops here, at the formal opening in the Sudbury arena. It was to fellow a pontifical low mats cele- brated by James Cardinal Mc-

ls Opened

Lay people dominate the com ference numerically, outnumber: ing clergy about four to one, but the major speeches are to be de livered by bishops or priests.

However, organizers plan te give everyone \a chance to par ticipate fully, After each main speech is delivered in plenary ses- sions at Marymount College. the audience members will. break up into small groups, discuss the speech and return to the mais session with recommendations.

Conference organizers say full participation is important, for the annual conference is basically an adult education program aimed at giving Catholics a clearer under- standing of their church's social teachings as applied to current

problems.
