NEW YORK (GlobaD-Icy winds
with. below-freezing temperatures
in New York couldn't keep music
lovers from hearing Anne DeRa-
mus, talented young pianist; when
she made her appearance at Town
Hall last week. The AUDIENCE was
warm in its response to Miss De
Ramus and seemed reluctant to let
her go. She played five encores be-
fore they gave in and allowd her
to "call it a day." In addition to
giving a highly successful perform
ance, Miss DeRamus was beautiful
in biege gown, and although her
appearance was regal, she ap-
proach her music with humility.

Straight
Ahead
By OLIVE A. ADAMS

NEW YORK, (GlobaD-It some
times appear that the American
people are inclined. to go over
board for anything new, whether
II be a style. a new entertainer, or
an untested theory that sounds at
tractive on the surface. The result
of this has been that we seem not
quite sure what we believe in.
During the last thirty years, we
have swallowed almost whole
MANY theories on education and
child care that should have been
tried only under definite circum-
stances. Theories developed in ex-
perimental schools under almost
ideal conditions, were never meant
to be taken over by schools with
large, unwieldly classes, and a
lack of equipment. But many
schools did institute these plans
with almost disastrous results and
when the system proved not to be
successful in their case, parents
blamed the failure on a phantom
called progressive education"
Parents have been guilty of this
same offense. They have listened
attentively while educators and
child psychologists advocated
bringing up children without ap-
ply the hairbrush, and accepted the
plan without applying any good
hard common sense to it. Now that
people are seeing a whole genera
tion of kids coming up who appar-
emily don't have any manners, the
feeling seems to be that all would
have been different if the rod had
not been spared.
We hear now Of one private par
Ochial school that has just inSti-
tuted a plan of corporal punish
ment whereby the boys are given
two good whacks with paddle for
demerits received in a twenty-four
hour period. So here we go to the
other extreme. Many of the par
ents are up in arms about it, and
several have withdrawn their chill
dren.
There is little doubt that the
younger generation could stand a
whack or two, but we are inclined
to believe that their interests
would best, be served if the punish
ment were administered at home
and Immediately at the time of the
JniSdeed. There is something rather
sinister in the thought of a group
of boys lined up to go into the
Ieadmaster's office one by one and
receive their punishment for an of
Tense of some twenty four hours
standing.
In this space, we have advocated
return to some kind of substi-
tute for the WoodShed, but we feel
that children should be punished
by their parents who love them
and who can give them constant
reinsurance of that love. Modern
parents have been much too busy
to interest themselves in the more

Girl Freed on Charge
Of Kidnap Attempt

Municipal Court Judge John
j. Malloy yesterday freed a
former George Washington Uni
versity student charged with at
tempted kidnapping and stated
the Government failed to produce
enough evidence to hold her for
the grand jury.
She is Joanna Carol Johnston,
of the 5000 block of Fifth street
Sc. She was accused two weeks
ago of attempting to kidnap
Joseph T. Meagher, 61-year-old
paint store proprietor.
Police testified that the John
ston girl claimed Mr.. Meagher's
son, Richard, 26. caused her to
become pregnant and that she
attempted the kidnaping-asking
another man to do it for her-to
persuade the young man to either
marry her or make a suitable
financial settlement.
The Johnston girl met young
Meagher at George Washington
University, where they had sew
eral dates. He denied having any
illicit relations with her although
he declared that her threats and
harassments led him to obtain
a lawyer: also to go to the United
States attorneys office about
the matter before she was ar
rested on the attempted kidnap-
ing charge.

Maj. Gen. Clark L. Ruffner,

q request for retirement and has

The 51-year-old commander

Instead. two weeks ago the
Army sent 1t. Gen. Bruce C..
Clarke to replace Gen. Ruffner.
There was speculation in mill
tary circles that Gen. Ruffner's
resignation might have resulted
from disappointment as a result
of this incident. The current
change in signals came after
the general returned here this
week and held conferences with
high Army officers. The brief
announcement yesterday gave
no reason for the change.

which he confidently claimed

ing a five-seat margin in the

program for the 84th Congress
a pledge of complete co-opera-
tion with President EisenhoweC
on a united foreign policy.
1t will be, he told press con-
ference yesterday, a foreign
policy with a single voice for
all America-the Presidents"
Sees Revolt Against East.
Senator johnson, who few to
Minnesota last night, said the
II Democratic Senate commit
tee chairmen would be "cabi-
net" to organize and carry
through the programs objec-
tives. Fourteen of these chair
men, he said, will be from the
South and West. A Democratic
victory, he declared, would be
a revolt against the industrial
East"
A most thorough ventilation
of the 'Nixon-Dixon Yates deal"
will be made. he said, under di-
rection of Senator Anderson,
Democrat, of New Mexico, who
would head the Atomic Energy
Committee in a Democratic Con-
gress. Mr.. Nixon's name, as a
symbol, joins Dixon-Yates be-
cause of his defense of the IVA

all 80 counties in the I'd con-
gressional district in 1852. out-
running Gen. Eisenhower in that
normally G. o. P. area which

On the other hand, Senator
Murray apparently can count on
a heavy vote in the normally
Democratic 1st district. And he
says he'll be helped by dissatis-
faction among farmers in the

Senator Murray has made an
issue of Gen. Eisenhower's fex-
ible farm price support program,
but Mr.. D'Ewart said he thinks
a Montana speech by Secretary
Of Agriculture Benson has helped
the Republican cause greatly.
He said Mr.. Benson faced a
"cool' audience in a section
where the Farmers Union is
strong, and won them over be-
fore he had finished. The Farm
ers' Union has been calling for
rigid high-level price supports.

Democrat, bidding for re-
election in Montana's lst els.
trict, sided with Senator Murray
in declaring that, farm dissatis-
faction and unemployment will
affect the election results.

said he believes the election is
going to turn largely on the issue
of giving Gen. Eisenhower a Re-
publican Congress.

nominee for the 81 district seat
Mr.. D'Ewart is vacating, has
been criticizing the administra-
tlon's tax bill as IAN agonizing
tax bill for 90 out of every 100

His Republican opponent, Or
vim B. Flare, has been praising
the Eisenhower administration S
record and pledging support for
the Presidents program if
elected.
Most politicians give Mr.. Flare
slight edge over Mr.. Anderson.

Director Stassen yesterday de-

port on how much aid has been
extended.
Mr.. StasSen is now in Paris for
conferences on German rearm-

issued a statement saying the
United States moved promptly"
to give the new Guatemalan
government additional aid. He
added that FOA has increased
its technical assistance programs

which he signed as chairman of
