Bakers Ask OPAtoLift Price Lids
 DecontroI Pleo
 To Be Acted On
 Today by Officials

Washington, Oct. 21-(UP)-OPA wound up for new furry of de- control orders today while the bak- ing industry awaited decision on its petition for removal of price ceilings from bakery goods-one of the last major food groups still un- der controls.
 The Agriculture Department was scheduled to act on the bakers pe- tition today. Some observers be- lieved it would be denied, at least temporarily, while the department decides whether controls also should be removed from wheat, flour, farina and semolina.
 Farina is used in making break fast foods. Semolina is used for macaroni and spaghetti.
 OPA officials worked overtime to carry out President Truman's or ders for accelerated decontrol. Ceilings were removed today from clothing made by disabled veterans at handcraft projects and work gloves made from imported oil- tanned sheepskins. Other orders were in the works.
 Despite OPA'S oft-repeated state ment that no rent increases are planned, the National Association of Real Estate Boards announced that it would continue its campaign for an immediate IS percent boost in rents and early removal of cell ings. It said retention of controls would add to the housing shortage by creating powerful new obsta- cle" to residential constructions.
 The Agriculture Department sev- eral weeks ago turned down re- quest by the OPA Flour Milling Industry Advisory Committee to re- move controls from flour on grounds world wheat supplies this year will be 35 percent short of demand and that flour therefore must be con- sidered in short supply.
 The committee immediately ap- pealed the decision to Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson and formal hearing on the peti- tion was held last week.
 At that time, industry spokesmen argued that it was not practical to retain controls on flour when wheat has been selling on a free market since the old price control law lapsed June 30. Wheat and other grains were never put back under control.
 The OPA Consumers Advisory Committee opposed decontrol of flour on grounds it would set off another inflationary spiral.
 Some officials believed it might be difficult to remove ceilings on flour as long as the Government restricts the use of wheat and flour to 85 percent of last years domestic consumption.
 Domestic wheat consumption has been limited as part of the famine relief program under which the United States expects to ship some 400 100000 bushels of grain and grain products overseas from the current crop. Exports currently are tagging behind schedule of rail shortages and the maritime strike
 Some agricultural officials believe it would be embarrassingly incon- siStent to remove restrictions on the use of wheat as long as American exports are falling short of schedule.

Hess Plots .4th Reich
 Memory Returns
 To No. l Nozi

Nuremberg, Oct. 21-(UP)-Ru- dolph Hess has taken over the No. Nazi role since Hermann Goering's suicide, is showing a keen memory and is drafting plans for a Fourth Reich" it was disclosed today.
 Col. Burton C. Andrus, prison commander, said Hess was display ing "a keen, alert memory which he seems to enjoy showing off" Hess was in good humor despite his life prison term, he said During the trial he acted in an eccentric man. ner but was ruled legally sane.
 Investigation of Goering's suicide by the three-man American inquiry board was believed complete except for laboratory test expected from U. S. Army headquarters in Frank furt tomorrow.
 Andrus told a press conference he could not indicate the nature of the test. He said Goering's cell was un- der guard to keep his belongings un- disturbed. The inquiry board visit ed it several times.
 The delay in a British reply to Franz von Papen's request for per- mission to enter the British zone was attributed by Andrus to the le- gal problem whether he ever had been in British custody. He was ar- rested by Americans.
 The Allied Execution Commission was expected to meet Tuesday night after the American board inquiring into the suicide has studied the Frankfurt report.
 Tn Berlin today the Allied Control Council was to examine photographs of the Il dead Nazis and decide whether they should be published. The council may make statement on three suicide notes left by Goer- ing

the Communist Party ana le1I-Wlug Socialists, ran a poor third, more than 500,000 votes behind the Social Democrats. The Christian Demo- cratic Union was second.
 Voting in all four zones of the capital Sunday was quiet and heavy. The voters chose 130 city council members and filled 805 seats in the 20 borough councils.
 Even Fails in Soviet Zone
 The Socialist Unity Party (SED), which had been expected to finish second, even failed to lead in the Soviet zone. It was second in all eight Soviet boroughs and last in six American and British boroughs.
 State and district elections also were held yesterday in the Soviet occupation zone outside Berlin. The Socialist Unity Party had a plural ity there in early returns.
 Official totals in the Berlin election:
 Social Democrats, also known as the Independent Socialists (SPD) 948,743.
 Christian Democratic Union (CDU 431, 1916.
 Socialist Unity Party (SED) 83,182.
 Liberal Democratic Party NDP) 182,097.
 Refused to Join Communists
 The victorious Social Democrats, led by Franz Neumann, refused to join the Socialist Unity Party when it was formed under Russian sponsorship from the Communist Party and left-wing Socialists, Thus it gained the name Independ- ent Socialists.
 AS such the party has been a bit- ter critic of Communism and the leading target of Soviet Licensed Berlin newspapers. Neumann was prominently mentioned to succeed Dr. Arthur Werner as mayor o1 Berlin. He is a former NaI con- centration camp inmate. The Social Democrats did moi participate in the elections outside Berlin in the Russian zone because they are not licensed there.

Reuther Moy Ask$2-o-Doy Raise in '47
 JAW Scheduled
 To Open Contract
 ToIk Next Week

Cleveland, O., Oct. 21 - (UP) - The United Automobile Workers, (CI!O), hitched future pay in- creases directly to the rising cost of living today and indicated that it may ask for a $2-a-day boost before the 1947 contracts are signed with automobile manufacturers.
 The unions executive board set the pace yesterday when it refused to give dollars and cents figure in it's demands against the Chrysler Corporation, first of the big three to begin negotiations for contract for 1947. Preliminary negotiations with Chrysler are scheduled to open this week.
 Any wage increase for next year will not be static, JAW. President Walter Reuther warned. Tt will be flexible and adjustments will be made as prices increase"
 Reuther insisted that manufac- turers. could grant a new wage in- crease without corresponding in- crease in the cost of automobiles. On the contrary, he said automobile prices, can, and should be reduced at the earliest possible moment as sustained production is achieved and output moves to higher levels" :"
 Although Reuther declined to name a definite increase which the union would demand, it had been reported previously it would ask for a rise of 20 cents or $1.60 day.
 However, in it's official statement the union said the cost of living already had increased 12 1-2 per- cent since last January, and added that authoritative sources predicted it will have risen 20 to 25 percent above last January by December
 Figured on the average hourly rate of the Chrysler Corporation, this would require a wage increase of 26 to B cents an hour, or slight lv more than g a day.

slight but officials said the bomb-
 ings indicated thorough planning
 and appeared to be the work of or ganized criminals.
 American authorities moved
 quickly in an effort to prevent fur
 ther sabotage attempts. German
 police guards were doubled around
 all military government installa-
 tions. Reinforced units of the Third
 Constabulary Brigade were as-
 signed to patrol duty on Stuttgart streets.
 De-Nazification Office Bombed | The first bomb exploded on a
 window sill of the Backnang de- Ratification Office, 30 miles north east of Stuttgart, at approximate ly 7:30 P. M. Saturday. At about
 8:30 P. M. a second bomb blasted the wall of one of Stuttgart's six
 deNazification court buildings. Ten minutes later third bomb
 was thrown against the Stuttgart
 Provost Marshars Office. One corner of the building was damaged and several windows were blown out. The
 Provost Marshals headquarters also
 houses the military police jail, where
 suspects arrested by counterintellig-
 ence agents are held for inveStiga- tion.
 The Backnang De-Nozification
 board was the first German agency
 to attempt the arrest of Hjalmar
 Schacht, NaN financial wizard, after
 he was acquitted at Nuremberg
 Schacht is held in Stuttgart jail awaiting hearing.
 Officials were unable to determine
 whether the Backnang bombing was connected with Schacht, or whether the whole affair was an expression of general dissatisfaction with the De- Modification program.
 Records In Tact
 Tt does look awfully suspicious, but I don't see how this could help Schacht," one officer of the Wuer- temberg Baden regional Military Government said. There had been speculation that the bombings might r-, been designed to destroy re- c. -ds in the Schacht case. Officials said the Backnang building was
 damaged, but that the De-Nazifica- tion records were intact.
 One high-ranking safety official said general unrest had been grow ing in the American zone for the past three months. He said the dis satisfaction was caused, in part, by
 the approach of Winter and the
 shortages of food, fuel. and clothing. We have awaited the first con-
 crete subversive act," he said. This is only the beginning. We fear that
 scores of uprooted young people, ex-
 soldiers, die-hard Nazis. unemployed
 persons and those carrying grudge
 against the occupation. will accept
 the bombings as go-ahead sign"

ed in a certain university were
studying either of these subjects.
Standards for the granting of
degrees vary considerably from
country to country. The doctorate is
usually awarded on completion of the
course in law or philosophy and
literature, which covers from five to
seven years. The presentation of a
thesis is generally required. For
eigners wishing to enroll for credit
in university are required to SUBJ
NIT a high-school diploma or its
equivalent.
In the field of education, however,
the order of factors again does not
always alter the product. A doctor
may be turned out by the University
of Havana, for instance, through diff
ferent methods than one who has
just been pronounced an M. D. by
Harvard Medical School, but when
these two men meet and get to-
gether on a postgraduate course
they will, most probably, discover
that their knowledge has much in
common.

primary establishments and those
sifted through to secondary ones.
The equivalent of the American
high-school is known in Latin Amer
lea by different names: colegio, liceo,
escuela media or institute in Spanish;
gymnasic or collegic in Portuguese,
and lycee or college in French.
The high-school course is, in gen.
eral, of an encyclopedia nature, in
tended to give the pupils an idea of
all fields of knowledge. This produces
a well-rounded culture and makes
students intelligent on a great many
subjects although sometimes their
reasoning powers may not be devef-
oped as much as is desirable.
The course of study is very close
ly prescribed, and except in the case
of languages, there are practically
no elective subjects.
1t may be we'll to mention that lit
tie attention is paid, in general, to
dead languages and that modern
ones take the place of Greek and
Latin. AS a whole, however, the
secondary course of studies is of a
much more thorough and mature
nature than the equivalent high
school curriculum.
At the end of the full course the
degree of Bachelor of Letters OF
Bachelor of Science is conferred, SO
that, at the age of from sixteen to
eighteen the student has had total
schooling of from ten to twelve years
and has received his bachelor. 5
degree.
This, of course, explains the reason
why college-the step between high
school and a university-is nom
existant. The higher level of second
ary education leads on naturally to
higher education. There are sixty
seven universities in Latin America.
Accidentally they are based upon
the Facultad (faculty) which is often
composed of several escuefas
(schools) specializing in related
branches within the scope of each
faculty.
To these faculties and schools are
attached institutes (institutes) for
research. Typical of this structure
is the National University of Buenos
Aires, which has faculties of law,
medical science, philosophy and let
ters, agronomy and economics.
There are schools of medicine,
pharmacy, dentistry, obstetrics, COM
merce and architecture.
Latin Americans, in general, have
great penchant for medicine and
law and there have been cases when

South american Schools Patterned More
After European System Than Those In u. S.

Latin American educational
systems are modelled after those
OF Southern Europe and are
uastiy different from that of
thts country. This IS achy most
South Americans seek European
institutions for postgraduate
aoork rather than coming to the
United States. The school
system south of the border
forms the basis for the foiioao-
ing interesting article.-EDIToR.
The North American student >
great interest in the other Americas
and his growing desire to go down
and study in Latin America in order
to get acquainted with his south-of-
the-border neighbors is sometimes
hampered by the realization that the
Latin American academic system Is
vastly different from that of the
United States.
While it is difficult-as well as un-
| fair--to treat Latin America in any
of its aspects as a massive whole,
and while there is a great difference
in background, the pattern of edu-
cational organizations throughout
the other twenty republics may be
said to be basically the same.
North American culture has been
predominantly influenced by northern
Europe but that of South America
shows the influence of southern
Europe, including France.
The fact that the European cur
riculum was more like theirs than
the American, by the way, is prob
ably one of the factors that has led
Latin American students for many
years to study in Europe in prefer
ence to the United States.
The Latin American educational
system comprises briefly, an elemen-
tary school of from FIVE to six years
in length and secondary school of
another five to six years, making a
total of ten to twelve years of prep
aration before entering the univer-
sity.
The primary schools are called
escuelas primarias; they are better
and more abundant in towns and
villages than in rural sections.
The children who attend these
schools study quite a variety of sub
jects and it is often the only school
ing they get, for student mortality
between the primary and secondary
schools is greater than between the
secondary and the university.
For long time, in fact, almost a
certain class distinction existed
between those attending only the
