GRASSROOTS
By Wright A. Patterson

NOES THE PRESIDENT really
- believe that we are destined in
the near future to be engaged in a
full scale shooting war with Russia.
or are his numerous war scares
merely for the purpose of encourage
ing more and larger appropriations
and the levying of more and great
er taxes?'
His actions in connection with
our preparations for war would
not indicate that he fears an
immediate conflict. We are GER
tainly not preparing for such an
eventuality.
He announced year ago that
Russia had perfected an atom
bomb. On the basis of that state
ment congress authorized an air
fleet of rs fighting groups including
larger number of bomber groups.
The President did not then think
such an air force was needed, and
arbitrarily reduced the number to
81 groups, despite the verdict of the
congress and the air commission
which he had appointed
Since then he has raised the fig
ures to IS groups, but has not Or
dered the planes or recruited the
personnel for such a force We are
told that Russia has now IN air force
of $4,000 fighting planes, and the
President said that Russia has the
atom bomb with which to destroy
our ground forces and to devastate
the towns and cities Of our Euro
country
To meet that force we nave. IN

especially designed to m t psy-
Geological theories and still be en-
Pertaining.
One Of the country's leading
comic book publishers, after a year
OF intensive research, has begun
issuing comic magazine based on
the recommendations of psycholo-
gists and educators as to the ideal"
comics magazine for children in
the three-to-eight age bracket. He
is convinced that If his new publ
cation is success, other comic
book publishers will recognize the
need for really constructive comic
magazines and follow his lead.
The publisher, Leverett Gleason,
expects the test to prove the
theories Of authorities that the pow
erful influence of comics magazines
on children can be utilized in con-
structive way.
Gleason estimates that 100000 900
comic magazines are purchased
each month and that each of
these has three readers.
Prominent educators and psy-
biologists have agreed that comics
magazines can be used to en-
phasize the moral and ethical teach
ings of parents. They have advo-
Gated comics magazines as
means of draining normal agrees
sions of children that might other
wise erupt into outright aggressive
acts. These authorities see comics
as a means of teaching child how
to read, and the use of good gram
mar and sense of artistic discrim-
ination. And they have at the same
time complained that the widely
distributed comics magazines are
not accomplishing all these objec-
tives.
There is no reason why all of
these detectives cannot be achieved
in comics magazine that is still
exciting enough to hold the young
readers interest,"" Gleason said.
He quoted Josette Frank, educa-
tional associate Of the Child Study
Association:
Zone must regret that comic mag
azines have, in some respects,
missed their opportunities for giving
children more than they do.
"The comic magazine has a high
potential value not only because its
form is so acceptable to children but
because it can be timely and con-
temporary in a way books cannot.
Here, perhaps, more effectively
than elsewhere, we can f md an
opportunity to give children for
ward looking attitudes, ideas a d
ideals about the world they live
in"
OBVIOUSLY, no desirable comic
book could portray sex, cruelty or
primitive violence, Gleason said.
But the findings showed that many
other a tors were of equal or
greater importance.
Perfect grammar should be used
by the characters so that children
can learn through the example Of
the heroes and heroines. Particu-
lar attention should be devoted to
the art work which would be of
quality comparable to that of the
best in children's hard-cover books.
AS with all comic books, these pic
lures, used as guide to the mean
ing of the words, should help the
young child learn to read.
Six thousand schools already are
using comic books in connection
with h e school curriculum, Glea-
son reported. The issuance of comic
magazines of superior quality
might easily make them an in
strument all schools would want to
use to further the teaching of young
children, particularly as a means
of teaching them to learn to read
and to like to read.

ignored that legislation. 1t was
a lack of radar that primarily
was the cause of the Pearl Har-

A German contractor had de-
