Sunday School League last week,
came through with single game of
I'll, which is going to take lot of
beating in hers or any other ladies'
league. In fact, there won't be many
men during the season who will beat
it.
And talking about high scores,
Angelo Palladino on Wednesday
night, January 4, bowling with the
Major League, just missed national
recognition as a member of the
select 200 Glass, by three pins.
In the tenth frame it looked as if
he was a cinch to have a 200 game
when he came up with spare, but
unfortunately he chopped deuce
to rob him of the honor. However,
he did set a new all-time high in
the Major League Q97 and he put
together two other games of 119 and
$50 to give him a three-game set of
466, which is also new all-time
Major League record.

PARIS, July 1.-THE find
ings of an international panel
of experts on race problems
under the auspices of the Unit
ed Nations Educational, Scien-
tific and Cultural Organiza-
ton have provided evidence
that there was no scientific
Justification for race discrimi-
nation.
This conclusion, in a report
made public today, was
reached by a group of scien-
fists who had been called to-
gether by the organization to
define the concept of race and
to synthesize most modern
views of biologists, geneticists,
psychologists, sociologists and
anthropo1ogists.
In their report, described by
the organization as "the autho
ritative statement of modern
scientific doctrine on the con-
troversial subjects of race ever
to be issued" members of the
panel agreed that:
/. The range of mental capaci-
ties in all races was much
the same.
2. There was no evidence that
race mixtures produced bio
logically bad results.
3. Race was less a biological
fact than a social myth.
4. No large modern national or
religious group was scienti-
fically speaking a race.
1T is now generally recog-
nized that intelligence tests do
not in themselves enable US to
differentiate safely between
what is due to innate capacity
and what is the result of en-
virOnmental Influences" the

Members of the panel sug-
gested that the word trace" be
dropped because of what they
described as serious errors
Ihabitually committed when
the word was used in popular
parlance. They preferred the
expression "ethnic groups.

could be classified into three
major
Negroid and Caucasoid, they
said. But they insisted that
these divisions must be con
sidered as dynamic rather
than static and as subject to
changes in the future as in the
past.
The experts expressed the
view that in the light of scien-
tific material at present avail
able inherited genetic differ
ences could not be held to be a
major factor in producing diff
ferences between cultures or
cultural achievements of diff
Iferent peoples or groups.
They asserted that the expla
nation for such differences
must be sought essentially in
the history of the cultural ex-
perience that each group had
undergone. Temperament, per
sonality and character also
were described by experts as
almost entirely "raceless.n
