Meet Responsibilities

The District schools are falling
short in meeting their respon-
sibilities to children, Juvenile
Judge Edith Cockriu said yester-
day
Failure of the school teachers
to treat the child as human
being, plus a lack of interest in
the individual child's personality.

delinquency here. she added.
Speaking at a luncheon meet
ing of the United Community
Services Corrections Section in
the YWCA, Judge Cockrill en-
phasized she was not being critical
of the schools.
Crowding a Factor.
These conditions are due to
crowded classrooms, overcrowded
schedules and inadequate per-
sonnet" she said.
The community, Judge Cockrill
said, should provide better living
conditions. recreation, training
and education. The chuches, she
pointed out. should teach the final
concepts of morality and right liv-
ing not being taught in the
schools or weakened homes.

Peace in 81
Is Hopeless
BY ROBERT ScHAKNE

MUNSAN, Dec. 81 (INS)-The
possibility of peace in Korea be-
fore the New Year vanished today
as negotiators went through fur
Their sessions without moving any
closer toward an armistice.
Rear Adm. R. E. Libby accused
North Korean Maj. Gen. Lee
Sang Che Of trying to "welch on
his commitments" to supply the
United Nations Command with in
formation about $4,000 unlisted
Red-held war prisoners.
The American admiral levelled
this charge during another fruit
less meeting Of a two-delegate sub
committee dealing with the tangl-
ed, emotion-laden question Of ex-
changing prisoners.
In an adjoining tent at Pan Nun
JON, a four-delegate joint commit
tee on truce terms failed again to
register progress on the stumbl-
ing block question of limiting
North Korean airfields to civilian
uses.
