world speed record was claimed
today for che Navy's new FAD
Skyray jet interceptor with an
average speed of 728.110 m.p.h.
over a. 100 kilometer closed

That's travelling the 62.1 miles
in about S minutes and Z seconds.
Douglas Aircraft Co.. builders
of the carrier based Skyray, said
their test pilot, Bob Rain. 80,
whipped the delta wing plane

measure was taken with this

hover were running again to-
day, how would he do in your

The answers:
Better than in 1922 per
cent; not as we'll as 1921
per cent, about the same as 1852
Al per cent.
On the assumption that fair
ness to a President who swept
38 States in last years election
would permit an addition of the

"about the same" the combined

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. II
(NANA). - According to the
farmers sons, Republican politi-
clans have reason for worry as
to what is happening in rural
America.
A poll taken at random this
week among 10000 teen-age
farm boys holding convention
here as the Future Farmers of
America showed better than
three out of four of them worried
about farm prosperity.
It showed nearly half of them
reporting that, in their home
counties, people blame the Re-
publicans for the drop in farm
prices.
! Finally, it showed President
/ Eisenhower materially more
popular than his party and that
some farm boys who blame Re
publicans" for lower prices do
not include Secretary of Agricul-
ture Benson, current Washing
ton scapegoat for the farm dis
satisfaction.
Washington correspondents of
three big-city newspapers CO.
operated in the poll. Taking
steps to avoid getting multiple
votes from the same county
delegations, they got farm boys
from 80 States to mark prepared
ballots.
Worried About Future.
The first question was: "Are
farmers in your area worried
about farm proSperity?"
The future farmers replied:
Yes-78 per cent, no-22 per
cent.
A check of the ballot by States
showed the worry to be Nation
wide. Missouri checked in with
a 10-to-0 expression of concern
Kansas was 8 to /. The COM
bined votes of New York. New
Jersey, Connecticut and Penn
sylvania showed a 12-to-5 criti-
cism.
The second question was the
$64 number for Republicans Wor-
rying about next years election
do farmers in your area blame
! the Republicans for the drop in
farm prices?"
The answers were:
| Yes-56 per cent, no-44 pei
cent.
But, in this category, the re-
sponse varied in sharp conform
ity with the division of the coun-
try into types of agriculture and
into drought VS.. wet regions.
Missouri, for instance, voted
j! 6 to 4 that the G. 0. P. was
to blame. Texas split, IL to H.
On the other side, the New York
! Pennsylvania group of Eastern
! States voted Is to 4 that the
Republicans were blameless while
| Massachusetts,, Maine and Ver-
mont were to 0 in their de-
cision that the G. o. P. was not
at fault.
That Mr.. Benson is not being
blamed as much in rural America
as is the G. o. P. in general was
indicated by the third question
do farmers in your area ap-
prove of Ezra Benson as Secre-
tary of Agricultural"
The answers were:
Yes-66 per cent. no-34 per
cent.

Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor and

LONDON, Oct. 17-Our teen
aged flreball has undergone a
strange metamorphosis in the
last As days.
He has jumped from the
American school system into the
British and the transformation
leaves me strictly sDeechleSs.
In the eighth grade last year,
at the American school in Tokyo.
he was tardy 81 times and the
year before in New York 80 times.
He declined all invitations to
study and expressed the belief
that all teachers were jerks
He threw spitba1ls, shot paper
clips and hurled airplanes with
the best of them.
1 once went to his school in
New York. When I put my head
in the door, some one fired a
book at me. All the kids were
standing up screaming. The
teacher was shouting and bang
ing the desk.
They're so spirited this morn
ing" she told me outside. Their
little personalities are expressing
themselves. We do nothing to
curb the ego"
But That Was Long Ago.
When she went back into the
classroom, she was beaned by an
orange.
Then on the last day of
school, six of them gave their
egos a workout by pushing one
boy through a window. Another
tried to swing from the light
and pulled out part of the
ceiling. They paid damages to
get their report cards.
But that was in the wild
jungleS of long ago.
British schools just don't op-
crate that way.
Jonathan, IA, has not yet been
late. You have to beg him to
stop studying and go to bed.
He even works out lessons ahead.
He has started saying Eyes
sir" "yes, thank you," mo,
thank you" just like a civilized
being.
All of this has proved such
a departure from the norm that
I have been most intrigued to
get to the bottom of it.
One night he did homework
until midnight and then rushed
off in the morning without
breakfast. I made inquiry that
evening:
What if you didn't have your
prep Chats British for homo
work) ?" I asked. What if you
went without it?"
Birch Cane Does 1t.
"Hey, you just can't do that"
"But what would happen?"
/ well, the head (short for
headmaSter or principaD would
send you down to his study. He
wouldn't talk or beg you to do
your work. He would just give
you six of the best"

William and MaV
Acts 10 Bar Sale Of
Eastern Hospital Site
BY the Associuted press

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Oct. IT.
The College of William and
Mary took action today which
may seriously jeopardize the
chances Of instituting the Rookie
feller plan for relocation of East
ern State Hospital.
The colleges board of visitors
voted its complete and unalter-
able opposition" to the transfer
of any lands owned by William
and Mary Ito any person. firm
or corporation"
The board said it was of the
considered opinion" that college
use of the properties is para
mount "to any other uses" for
which they might be considered.
Colonial Williamsburg, Inc,
the firm directing the restoration
of this historic city, has been
anxious to take over the present
site of State-controlled Eastern
State Hospital, a mental inStitu-
ton, to continue its project.
$23 Million Offered.
Eastern State has been in the
process OF transferral to a loca-
ton just outside Williamsburg
for some Is years. To speed up
transferral, Colonial Williams
burg. Inc, offered $23 million to
finance the relocation.
However, the college owns the
hospital site in the city-and
today'S action by the board
seemed to indicate clearly that
William and Mary doesn't want
to relinquish the property.
The boards statement said the
needs of the college have grown
more pressing than ever before"
and explained that $500 appli-
cations for admission were re-
ceived this fall. 1t said the
: present plant, designed to take
care of 1900, is serving 1000
fulltime students.
Have to Rent Space.
The board explained that the
/. college has had to rent space
. to accommodate some students.
1t said crowded conditions with
in Williamsburg will prohibit
obtaining further rental space.
Many of the buildings at the
. old hospital site can be used for
educational purposes, declared
: the board.
It was reported last week that
Gov. Battle and members of a
Virginia legislative council sub
committee were leaning toward
acceptance of the Colonial Will

would result in about two with
the cane. And what would hap

the teacher. or hit him between

And what if you don't say
yes sir and no sir?" I asked
foolishly.
You might get by with it
once. But after that it would
be six of the best. You don't
do these things in English
schools. Just remember, all the
teachers are men with big mus
cles. They don't take excuses
They don't argue. They just run

Boys Models of Propriety.
Why it works so well, am not

"And shine the chromium with

if he feels well and taking his

Last? OF course it will. There

I showed him Howard Whit
mans series which ran in Amer
ican newspapers describing ju-
venile vandalism in some parts
of the United States. He was
extremely interested. I asked
him if the pupils ever broke
any windows out of his school.
Eyes" he said, about two
years ago, one boy threw a rock
through window. We were
rather stern in this case. Nc
more windows have been broken
and that boy never got in trouble
again."
At this point. I have not
started to worry about whether
Jonathan's personality or his
ego is being damaged by dis
cipline.
