ArnaII Calls Chaininq
OF Boys Disgrace
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, June 23.-Terming the
incident disgrace" Gov. Ellis
Arnall and a county commissioner
joined today in demanding removal
from Office of the person responsible
for the chaining of two boys at the
County Industrial Farm for Negroes.
Clarence Duncan, the commits
sioner, said he would seek the custer
Of E. J. Waits, veteran farm super
intendent, at the July S commission
meeting unless Waits resigned.
Three Fulton County (Atlanta)
commissioners reported yesterday
they found the two 15-year- -old boys
in iron shackles at the farm.
This is a disgrace to the name
OF the people of Georgia and Fulton
County" the Governor said. who
ever Is responsible should be re-
moved from Office.
1T makes me heartsick to work
as hard as have to try to get rid
OF chains and shackles and bar
barism and then find that some
small Negro boys under the juris-
diction Of Fulton County, the capital
city of our State, are kept in chains.
Waits, head of the institution for
is years, said the boys were "unruly'
and explained that it was the only
way he could keep them; otherwise
they ran away repeatedly.

dranatics with imagination, per-
sistence and realism"
Marital status made little differ
ence. They were about evenly d.
vided between married and single.
All of the wives except two, who
had children during the course,
worked. Married men we're more
regular In class attendance.
Faculty Needs Teaching.
College faculties had difficulty in
realizing that the men were actu-
ally disabled, and that at times were
suffering in class. The faculty also
needs more grounding in teaching
men who are mature, questioning,
experienced and demanding. The
students demand that knowledge
be usable, specific and exact, the re-
port said.
They we're capable Of intense
work. They did not shirk classes,
were prompt, worked hard at les
sons.
They showed great individual
differences in the ability to study
and In educational background.
The report suggested that college
faculties will need continuing in
formation and a great deal of en-
couragement in individual differ
ences because American education
has the tradition of dead-level in
struction."
There was a general weakness In
reading and study skills, which the

report attributed to the fact that
the men had little opportunity to
read current literature.
Liked to Plan.
They were more laxative, more
interested in their own Government
than the average student. They dis
cussed things for long periods, they
liked to plan, execute, have commit
tees.
The men were courteous to the
two WACS in the course, but little
difference was shown them in the
realm of ideas.
Drinking and smoking were more
than habit-they were as much
part of the students life "as the
noon luncheon"
The men were concerned with So
cial issues, but they did not have a
serious concern for the problems of
world organization. They wanted to
participate, but only in things that
they felt were worth doing.
The report concluded that "the

The veterans who come back from
the war to college are going to
change the prewar normal college
life. They will demand more from
their teachers-more knowledge,
more individual attention, more
help in how to study; they will
study harder; they will take more
of a voice in deciding what they
study, how they study and how
they are governed; they will treat
women as equals.
This is what professors at Amer
ican University say, after teaching
and knowing more than a hundred
disabled veterans of this war who
have graduated from the univer-
sity's School of Social Sciences
and Public Affairs, to become ma
tional service officers in veterans
organizations.
Report Made Public.
The report made public by Paul
F. Douglass of the university's pub
lie relations staff, showed:
Age differences among the men
made little difference. The age
range was from 20 to 4s, with an
average Of 20. In student govern
ment and class elections. neither
younger nor older men led to an
extent that would indicate a
preference.
The men we're eager for self-de-
velopment. They petitioned the
faculty for courses in etiquette.

that the upward climb Of the Amer
lean to knowledge and usefulness
and position is now proceeding on a
substantial scale. The experience of

faculty is going to have a tonic and
that education is going to be the
better, both in the long and short
run"

claiming their intention Of defend

R.-F'ive French civil officials were
dismissed from their posts in Leba-
non yesterday and the government
announced that all other French
.appointees would be discharged in

mon policy for winning independ-
ence, had agreed on the discharge of
French officials in their service and
called for the evacuation of all
French troops and the surrender of
conscriptees still under French

ent, quarantine superintendent and

ity.

Truman, Byrnes and Roberts
Confer; Tonic Is Secret

Former Supreme Court Justice
Owen J. Roberts, who headed the
late President Roosevelt's special
Pearl Harbor inquiry, spent 20 min
utes with President Truman today
in company with Secretary of State
Byrnes, but no word was forth
coming on the nature of the con-
ference.
Mr.. Byrnes and the former JUS
tice smilingly brushed aside ques-
tions as they left the executive
off1ces by a side door, and Press
Secretary Charles E. Ross told news
men that nothing could be said
about the matter at this time
1t was thought that the Pearl
Harbor case might have been under
discussion, because of the recent re-
vival of interest in that matter in
the Senate.

questioning were not disclosed, but
their quest undoubtedly was to find
several fields in good enough shape
to accommodate heavy American
planes.

ments," Gen. Macarthur said.

Hopes for Bloodless Surrender.
And he added:
1T is my earnest hope that pend
ing the formal accomplishment of
the instrument of surrender, arm
istice conditions may prevail on
every front and that bloodless sur
render may be effectuated."
Previous capitulation made by the
Emperor's field forces will be car
ried out without waiting for the
master agreement to be signed, the
headquarters spokesman explained.
Gen. Macarthur said he would
accept surrender in the names OF
the United States, Chinese Repub-
lie, Soviet Union and the United
Kingdom. After that he would di-
rect the imperial Japanese head
quarters to issue general orders OF
instructions to Japanese command
ers wherever they are situated to
surrender their forces.
This may delay surrenders in such
places as China and Malaga unit
after Gen. Macarthur signs the
master instrument.
Gen. Macarthur directed that re-
sponsibility for that portion of the
Southwest Pacific area which lies
south of the Philippines will hence
forth be assumed by British ano
Australian commanders.
The Japanese emissaries departed
for home after being given to under.
stand that Allied forces will occupy
Japan at the will of Gen. Macarthur
as supreme commander.
Occupation itself was believed te
be not far distant-and no argu-
ment was permitted.
The scope of the Manila confer
ence was limited very largely to ef-
fectuation of occupation.

The spokesmen, who were present
at the sessions here, said some Of the
precise formality which character
lied the first meeting last night
broke down as the sessions were di-
vided into meetings between Amer
lean Army. naval and air officers
and their japanese counterparts for
the receipt of data required by the
Americans.
The spokesmen said there was no
indication of friendliness, but that
it resembled more regular staff
meeting-a busineSslike military
meeting without 1rills. The CONVEX
sation at times was animated" he
said.
1t was announced that the meet
ing this morning, previously an
nounced as having started at $50
m, actually did not get under way
until 1890 am. because the Japa-
nese had not completed perusal of
documents given them for study.
1t was believed here that Japan's
previous delays, which had been
generally interpreted as Sailing
were largely due to Japan's un-
familiarity with surrender proceed
ure and the stunning impact OF
defeat, following so closely on the
heels of the atomic bomb.
