Korean Truce Negotiations
Still Remain Deadlocked
By GEORGE Macarthur

MUNSAN, Korea VI The g.
week news blackout was lifted
from the Korean armistice talks
today, showing the deadlock over
prisoner exchange final issue
blocking q truce--still unbroken.
Despite a United Nations offer
to return an additional $4,000 cap
tives to the Communists, 10 off-the-
record meetings since July 4
proved completely fruitless," said
Maj. Gen. william X. Harrison Jr.
I'VE are no nearer a solution
of the problem today than we were
on July T." the chief Allied dele.
gate said, but added:
"As long as we continue nego-
tiations there is always hope. When
the enemy proposed this morning
that We 80 back into open sessions,
/ heartily agreed.
Starting Saturday proceedings
will be made public daily as for
merry.
The U. N. Command said il re.
fused to back down on its decision
not to return forcibly any prisoner
TO the Communists. Only $1,000 OF
10000 Allied-held POWs want to
be repatriated. Harrison said. This
is an increase of 1900 over the
figure submitted to the Reds earli-
er. before screenings of Pows was
completed.
The Allies said the Communists
insisted on the return of ZIG, 900
prisoners. These include 20, 900 Chi
nese captives of whom only 6,400
viii return voluntarily.
North Korean Gen. Nam III, the
senior Red negotiator, conceded
the prisoner exchange issue had
become not a matter Of principle,
but of lists and numbers" He
urged the U. N. to present figure
approaching reality" But the
Allies said Nam never reconciled
his statements and proposals with
the Allied report that almost three
fourths of the Chinese in Allied
prisoner camps would resist re-
patriation.

successful life is through aca-
demic achievement - q college
education. He explains:
''Flunking French does not
make a better or happier store
manager; failing algebra does not
produce a better truck driver. We
all have various capacities. Some
should 60 to college. But millions
Of Americans are living happy
lives of service without a col
lege education, and will continue
to do so. If boy or girl is not
academically inclined, he should
adapt himself to a more general
and functional education, and
parents should concur in this"

War
ROUNDUP

SEOUL, Korea H - French in
fantrymen today hurled back a 500
man Chinese Communists drive on
T-Bone Hill in a bloody opening
to the 18th month of the Korean
War.
French defenders of the western
front hill inflicted heavy losses dur
ing two hours of pre-dawn hand-to-
hand combat.
Three Red companies advanced
at 2 a. m. against the hill west
of Chorwon, an old Iron Triangle
anchor city.
Artillery bursts punctuated hand
to-hand . fighting as the 500 Com
munists got caught in crossfire of
French positions at the bottom end
of T-Bone.
A front-line Allied officer esti-
mated Sc Chinese were killed and
150 wounded. The cut--up Red fore
es withdrew at 4 a. m.
The French battalion is attached
to the U. S. Second Infantry Di-
vision, which has fought the Chi
nese since July II for possession
Of nearby Old Badly Hill.
Earlier today the U. S. Eighth
Army permitted Identification Of
the Second Division as the unit
assigned to hold the series of hills
overlooking the main battle front.
The U. S. 45th Division last month
wrested the heights from the Com
munists in some of the heaviest
fighting of the war this year.
The Chinese regained the crest
of Old Badly Tuesday.
Overcast skies reduced Allied air
activity to fighter bomber strikes
on the front this morning.

False Ideas
About Today's
Education
BY DAVID TAYLOR MARKE
AP Newsfeaivre Writer


This is a good time to review
some of the false ideas parents
entertain about education.
Professor Howard F. Fehr, head
OF the Department of Mathematics
at Columbia University's Teach.
ers College, says that, contrary
to the belief of many parents,
most children like going to school
today, and enjoy learning. The
sooner parents realize this and
revise some Of their other ideas
about schools and teaching, the
better will the school program
flourish. He says:
Most persons are accustomed
to thinking of the schools in
terms of their own experience
and instruction, received 20 or
30 years ago. Today the schools
are different in what they seek to
accomplish, in methods and de-
vices they use in teaching, in the
psychology of learning they apply,
and in the attitude of youngsters
toward school.
1T is also false idea that
memorizing basic skills in read
ing, writing and arithmetic is the
main goal of education. White it
is an important goal, it is not
primary. The chief goal is the
development of physical health,
mental and emotional stability
fine personality and effective
citizenship"
The idea is also false, says
Professor Fehr, that since the
basic skills are not primary, we
no longer teach them. We teach
them differently, and better, be-
cause children do better in these
subjects today than did children
20, 80 and 100 years ago, as re-
vealed in national tests.
Another false concept is that
children must pass a stiff test
to be promoted from grade to
grade and, eventually, to graduate.
He says:
"ln fhs past, The necessity to
pass an examination in order to
meet social and home approval
has made more dishonorshls young
men and women than any other
school device"
This leads to another false
idea, he continues-that we are
not maintaining standards and
are pampering children:
Discipline has fled to the
wind, it is said. On the contrary,
modern education seeks to de-
velop social responsibility and
respect for the rights of others"
One of the most grievous false
ideas, says DIR. Fehr, is the one
that the only path to q highly
