 Guords Charged With Cruelty

Marion. Ind, June B.-(UP)-The physician-inanager of the Marion Veterans Hospital believed today that a guard threw lighted cigarets into the mouths of mental patients "out Of pure cussedness."
 Dr. Fl. Fl. Bolts said he believed that 27 charges of assault and bat. tery filed against four hospital guards were actually so." lie said. however. that some of the mistreat. ment appeared more vicious than 1t really was.
 Bolts said the four guards all were discharged "a few weeks" af. ter disclosure of the mistreatment, The guards. now held in the coun. ty jail under S2.5O0 bond ecah, de- nied the charges.
 They were charged with choking near-violent patients and beating them with fists, wet towels and chairs. Neblett was charged with throwing lighted cigarets into the mouths of patients on three occa. si0ns.
 Ineir arrest was ordered Wednes- day by U. s. District Attorney Alex Campbell. who said that the Federal Government was careful to present evidence lin which there was no justification for mastreatment of pa- tients."

School Gives
 Brain Letters

Greenwich. June s-GUPD-Seven g. members of the Brunswick School graduating class stepped up and re- ceived their "B's" last night-not for athletic prOwess. but for hitting the intellectual jackpot.
 Deerying Overemphasis on sports ability at expense Of scholastic at- tainment. Dr. William Monlton MaESton. noted consulting psychol- 0gist. originated the new education al idea. Marston, vice-president of the exclusive preparatory schools board Of directors, said that "B" should stand not only for brawn but also for brain.
 Boys who make their letters at football or hockey become school heroes" the board stated while youths wfo used equal well-pOwer and courage to master their studies are rarely in the spotlight.
 50 long as public acclaim goes pred0ininately to schools with spec tacular athletic teams. there is con- stant pressure on school authorities to recruit outstanding athletes at whatever cost, thus placing q premi- nm on athletic ability. instead of scholarship
 The board believes that the world Of tomorrow will demand every in- teliectial resource from the youth of today if they are to become it's leaders"

London. June s-Brendan Brack- en. information minister in the Churchill government. today told the Imperial Press that all countries should grant greater freedom to newspaper correspondents.
 He warned that nothing does more harm to international co-op- erasiOn than obstacles placed in the way of free flow of news and ineor. nation"
 He said that news should flOw freely from country Co country.
 How can the press anywhere be wholly free if in wide regions of the world every obstacle iS placed in the way of getting the news" he said. What is needed is more reciprocity from countries whose correspon- dents fully enjoy the freedom of press that reigns in the British Esn- pire."
 He said that newspapers could not provide fair and unbiased news about countries where the move ment of news is strictly controlled and where foreign correspondents are carefully slaepalerded and spoon. fed"
 He said that the remedy was to work to lift restrictions on inserna. ti0nal now of news.

Peron Plays Soviet Come
 Loaaea ouaVlers
 Fear Trade Less

London. June s-tUPD-GnforTned diplomatic quarters believed today that both Premier Stalin and pres~ iclent Juan Peron have achieved ao~ vantages in their individual ciplo~ matic struggles with Britain and the United States bg establishing So- Argentine relations.
 These sources believed that neron was maneurering to compel the United States to court Argentine support for the hemisphere defense program.
 They further believed that Russia may be trying to forestall cons0m- nation of the western hemispheric security sphere.
 It was believed the trade agree ment is not likely to have any iEn- mediate effect on Britain's cOmmer- cial interests in Argentina but may have over a long period.
 Formal resumption of RnSso-Ar- genuine relations had been expected for some time. It waS generally inc terpreted as a pertinent develop ment politically and economically.
 British food quarters expressed some concern over the possibility that the trade agreement might mean the diversion of fo0dstnffs that normally would be sold to. the United Kingdom.
 Informed British sources believed that the century-old Anglo-Argen- tine relationship will continue to be one of the principle points of Ar- gertine foreign policy.
 The general feeling among poe litical observers was that Per0n is bent on playing the big powers off against one another in the hope Of strengthening Argentina'S position internationally.
