A WAY up in far corner of South
- Australia is one of the worlds
queerest schools. It's pupils are
members Of the Pitjantjara tribe of
aborigines They attend classes naked
and come or stay away as they please.
The school is little more than a year
old and has one hundred children on its
roll. The average daily attendance
is 40
All instruction is given in the native
language. and reading, writing and
arithmetic form the greatest part of
the curriculum. School opens each day
with a communal talk during which
the children are thoroughly bathed and
dried
After school the youngsters return
to their parents who live the life of
the true Myall native. going around
in the nude and eating whatever the
bush affords. They sleep under the
open sky between two fires The fires
keep them warm on cool evenings and
guard them frem the wild beasts who
stay at a respectful distance from the
lcaping flames.
For the most part the children are

are quick-witted, sensitive, well-man-
nered, affectionate and easy to con-
troll"
Drawing is their favorite subject,
according to Miss Peterkin, and sing
ing comes next With no appreciate
previous experience in music they now
sing in two or three parts, and they
all seem to have a perfect ear for any
tune.
OF course, attending school in the
nude does not provide these accom-
plishments, but it does seem TO give the
children a moral fibre that isn't TO be
found in certain more civilized parts
of the world.
Here nudity-for both sexes-is the
free and natural thing and the primi-
tive citizens are remarkably well-be-
haved. The children grow up without

I'd. {. Bills Pass Senate;
Parking Measure Put OFF

The Senate this afternoon passed
an amended House bill fixing the
terms under which out-of town
sightseeing buses may bring occa-
sional tours into the District with
out payment of local license fees.
The Senate passed another Dis
trict bill, making it unlawful to
park automobiles on private prop
erty, or on public property other
than highways. without consent of
the owners. Both bills require
House action on Senate amend
ments.
Action was postponed, however,
on the more important off-street
parking bill, designed to authorize
the District government to provide
more automobile parking facilities.
Senator Danaher, Republican, Of
Connecticut, who asked for the post
ponement, indicated he had no OBJ
lection to its general detectives, but
wanted more time to consider the
detailed provisions.
As amended by the Senate the
sightseeing bill would permit buses
to bring school children to Wash
ington without payment of tax at
any time. Other out-of-town buses
could operate sightseeing tours into
Washington for not more than IS
days in a calendar year without tax.
The Mead-Ramspeck bill to lib
eralize the Government employees
retirement law also was postponed
at the request of Senator Byrd, DEM
ocrat, of Virginia.

NEW YORK. Jan 6.-Shipbuilders
said today the industry could and
would build the 10,000,000 tons Of
ships President Roosevelt asked for
in l943 If they were given con-
slant flow of materials. equipment
and the uninterrupted service OF

The National Council of American
Shipbuilders said there was greater
volume of shipbuilding, commercial
and naval, now under construction
In the United States than At any
time in the history Of any Nation.
Goal of the American yards is the
launching of two ships a day In
1912. Employment schedules call FOL
an increase Of 10000 men over the
500 700 now building ships.
There was some Apprehension over
Japanese conquests reducing the
supply of strategic metals. but build
ers said 1t was too early to esti.
mate Just what japanese victories
in Malaga would do to supplies.
An example of the speedup ir
American shipbuilding was the
tanker Sinclair He. She was ready
for trials 100 days after her keel wss
laid-a worlds record for a ship Of
her size and type.
Standardized design has played
large part in the program. Even
