 ROUNDUP
By HUGU FULLERTON, JR.

NEW YORK, May 21-tRl-M Magi- clan John Scarne ruined that scheduled hex contest with fight manager Jimmy Grippe the other day by playing it straight. While bushy-haired Jimmy was explaining that he made Melio Bettina a bet ter fighter ry post hypnotic sug- gestion" s@ scared his opponents more or less the same way, Scarne merely told the fight writers he had explained the psychology of hypnosis to Gus Lesnevich so Gus won't be worried about anything but Melio's fists when they clash Friday night Incidentally, it has taken Rettina and Lesnevich long enough to get around to fight ing each other. They were matched in 1914 but Coast Guard officials wouldn't give Gus time off to train and tussle.

HARTUNC IS BIG MYSTERY
 FOR GIANTS
By RALPH RIDDEN

The startling renascence or the New York Giants is matched only by the almost incredible perform ance of it's talented rookie phe- nom. Clint Hartung.
 Last place finishers in l946, the Giants today lead the National League and have won seven out of their last eight games on their western road trip.
 The hard-hitting of Johnny Mi2e and Walker Cooper have figured prominently in the Giants dra- matic rise from the bottom of the circuit to the top, but the talk among the Giants is all Hartung Transplanted from the outfield to the pitching mount because of his inept fielding, Hartung has won two straight games, including last nights 9-1 triumph ever Cincin- natl on eight hits. Tn addition, Hartung rapped out triple and single as the Giants sailed into four Cincinnati pitch CTS for IS blows.
 The Cuhs squeezed out a 3-2 H. inning decision over the Phila- delphia Phillies at Chicago, with pinch hitter Lonnie Frey breaking up the game with a bases loaded single. Harry Walker of the Phils had a perfect four for four to in- crease his league-leading batting average to 400 Hank Greenberg knocked the Boston Braves out ot second place deadlock with the Cubs by singling home a run in the tenth inning that enabled the Pittsburgh Pirates to grab 4-3 victory in a night encounter at l Forbes Field.
 The Boston Red Sox tightened | the American Leagues flag chase by trouncing the front-running Detroit Tigers, 8-3, to pull to within one game of the Tigers.
 The Cleveland Indians pulled to within two games of the Tigers by downing the Yankees, AZ, in New York to sweep their three game series from the Tanks. At Philadelphia, Bob Muncrief turned in the St. Louis Browns first win of the year over the Philadelphia Athletics in five games as the Browns supported l,his four-hit pitching with a 13- hit attack that resulted in a H. l decision.
 i The Chicago White Sox also re- mained within easy railing distance of the lead by turning back the Washington Senators, "A beneath the lights in Washington.
 The scheduled night game be- tween Brooklyn and St. Louis, at St. Louis, was postponed on ac- count of rain.

Grade School
Heads Discuss
Spiritual Values

I Facing squarely what it terms
the moral crisis before US today"
the National Education Associa-
TONS Department of Elementary
School Principals released today a
351-page report, Spiritual Values
in the Elementary School," directed
toward perfecting the teaching of
human values in the nations ele-
mentary schools.
Rockville is represented in the
group which published the report
by Edwin W. Broome, Supr., Mrs.
Ruth Cue, Elem. school, Mary Ann
Penn, and Lulu B. Ricketts,, all
members Of the NEA Department
OF Elementary School Principals.
Defining as spiritual values"
the understanding of responsibility
to society, dignity of fellow-man,
and broader sense of artistic and
ethical appreciation, the report
strives to inspire elementary
schools to emphasize these values.
The report, in the form of a
practical case-book guide, is devel-
oped upon the theme that spiritual
values, good or bad, are constantly
being developed by the grammar
school child. The elementary
school must channel this develop
rnent SO that important spiritual
values result.
AS a guide for educators, the
following are cited as responsible
ties of the school: ~ teachers and
principal must be aware that some
kind of learning is going on con-
stantly either to build up or tear
down spiritual values; (2) those
responsible for the school must,
therefore, develop an atmosphere
that will "help the spirits of chill
den to grow into something fine. u
Included are case histories of
experiments and experiences of
teachers in 20 states dealing with
specific problems in the develop
ment of spiritual values.
