No Politics Discussed In
 School Rooms

It's all right to wear . campaign button if you're teacher, but you can't talk partisan politics in class.
 So ruled Thomas P. Ashton, president of the board of educa- tiOn, when asked today what he thought about teachers wearing FOR and WiIIIxie buttons to school.
 Mir. Ashton said he thought one would infringe on personal rights if you told the teachers to remove the buttons.
 T know you can't talk partisan politics in class, but gee, I don't know what to say about buttOns," MT. Ashton said, adding that he thought the buttons were rather personal.
 But there were other opinions around town today. Many believed that the teachers buttons must come off, because even if the teach CTS are not talking politics, they show which side they are on by wearing the pins. In that way they influence the children just as much for one side or the other, was the opinion.

England. No other great capi- tai of the world is SO bound up economically with its hinterland as London.
 Furthermore, the city itself is easier to bomb than most cities. British manufacturers, having an eye to transportation, raw mate rials, etc., rather than defense, have concentrated a large part of their factories in one part of Lon- don. The Nazis, on the other hand, have scattered their plants in widely separated areas. The oil tanks, warehouses, food sup plies of London are concentrated along the River Thames, where they have been for 8 century, relatively easy targets for Nazi bombers. It was impossible for the British to decentralize their distribution system in the short time they had before war broke, and now this is one of their great est weaknesses. For if the Nazis can put the city of London out of commission, the rest of the British Isles must necessarily Suf- fer partial paralysis.
 Shipping Paralysis
 Another factor which makes it hard for the British economy to operate is the dependence of Lon- don on the adjacent channel ports of Dover, Southampton, and Ply mouth. These ports, once among the busiest in the world, now are almost empty. Air raids from the nearby French coast have made use of these ports suicidal. Hardly ship steams into their harbors. Result is that most British ship ping has to go to Liverpool and other ports on the west side of the island. This means that goods have to come by rail from Liver pool to London. And the Nazis daily have been bombing the rail line. According to uncensored re- ports received here, the rails are repaired one day, then bombed out : of commission the next day.
 All this slowing up of England's economic life is more important than actual casualties. Even the fact that London is kept awake all night is important. Sleepless nights slow up factory production. If it takes three to six months to tool a factory in the United States to prepare for airplane production, imagine how much British munitions factories must be thrown out of joint even if only two or three machine tools are bombed out of commission per night. These are some of the fac- tors which, despite the valor of the Royal Air Force and the bull dog courage of the British people, make U. s. war and navy observ- CTS pessimistic regarding British ability to hold out.
