pcIleIlCcS as
a teacher in a vocational high
school, the young man who un-
dertakes to teach in such a
school must be a combination
of pedagogue, psychologist and
prize fighter.
Mr.. Hunters Rick Dadier,
just out of college, takes his
first teaching job in a ficti-
tious-typical?-manual trades
high school in the Bronx. Rick
is an English teacher, and the
boys he tries to instruct,
many Of them full-grown and
husky, have about as much in
terest in the ref1nements of
the language as they have In
symphonic music or Egyptian
history.
Violence in School
During his first week Rick
saves a young woman on the
faculty from being raped by
a student on a deserted STAIR
way. Rick and another teach
er are waylaid one night by
six or eight boys and beaten
senselesS. Later, in the middle
of a class, a boy attacks Rick
with a knife. These are a few
of his adventures as a teacher.
The teacher is a man of
courage and character and he
keeps trying and, in the end,
he wins a minor victory. The
novel is vividly written and in
/. teresting. It would be a better
book If the author, or some
one, had used a blue pencil and
cut out about a third of it.
There is far too much repe-
titous detail. Mr.. Hunter spares
lis nothing, including the vul-
garities of the: students and of
some teachers. a

H-Bomb Jitfers Lead
To Commons Debate
On Problem Monday
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Mar. 31.-Prime
Minister Churchill, bowling to
Laborite demands. announced to-
day the House of Commons will
open a full debate on hydrogen
bomb problems next Monday.
The 79-year-old Prime Min
lister told Commons he will speak
himself on Britain's position and
policy. It will be his second
declaration on the subject in less
than a week. He said yesterday
American experiments in the
Pacific were essential to defense
of the free world and Spurned
demands that he use his inf1u-
ence to have them called off.
BritonS jittery over the H
bomb later voiced new demands
for fresh approach to Russia
on world disarmament.
World Ban Called For.
Newspapers of the left, center
and right, their fears of the
H-weapon unallayed by Mr..
Churchill's statement yesterday,
called for an international agree
ment to ban its use.
The Conservative Sketch joined
the Laborite Daily Herald in the
latter's demand that the United
States abandon its current H
bomb test series in the Pacific.
More than 100 members of the
Labor Party in Commons signed
a motion urging that the tests
be stopped and that an attempt
be made to bring Britain, the
United States, Russia, France
and Communist China together
in disarmament conference.

called a meeting for tonight to
discuss what official attitude the
Laborites should take on the
problem.
War Deterrent. Churchill Says.
In telling Parliament yesterday
the American H-bomb expert
ments were essential to the de-
Tense of the free world, Mr..
Churchill said the H-bomb was
the greatest possible deterrent
against the outbreak of World
War III"
Gliding the Laborites, Mr..
Churchill said: When similar
experiments were conducted by
the Russians, I cannot remem-
Der that anyone suggested that
such representations should be
made to the Soviet Union"
The Daily Herald, insisting
the United States tests must be
stopped said Mr.. Churchill
spoke yesterday "as if the bomb
was simply another military
weapon, like gunpowder."
Instead 1t Has No Limit.
Instead, the Herald declared
ut is destructive force that
has no limit. No one knows what
It's cumulative effects may be.
1t sets an entirely new and ter
rlble problem: mankind must
control its use or die"
The Sketch, referring to Mr.
Churchlll's statement that it
would not be right to ask for a
malt IN the tests, commented:
Many sincere friends of Sir
Winston and the government

md it impossible to support him
on this decision.
IL IS true, as he says. that
we have no power to stop these

Professor Mira Komarovsky
Of Barnard College, reporting On

In this stage, there is one curl

that we wouldn't consider a

them, but they are sure to make
her husband sullen and smolder-
ingly angry.
:. Other wives, fearing undue
and unfair competition, resent
her. Even If she does nothing to
encourage attention. men always
turn eyes On her. Other husbands
talk admiringly about her to
their wives. Now a wife wouldn't
mind if a mate registers approval
of Marilyn Monroe - she's an
image on a screen and unobtain-
able. But a beautiful neighbor Is
flesh and blood and hreeNhouses
down. So wives seethe and take
it out on the charmer who's un-
happy and bored.
When beauty faGles. It's the
last scene Of all and It can be the
most tragic. All too often, an
aging beauty tries desperately to
cling to youth, dressing and act
ing the part. Nothing can be
more pathetic. Many find life
dull; they become dissatisfied
with their husbands and get
divorces.
They turn to younger men and
become easy prey for all sorts of
confidence games, even black
mail. Others become introverted
and live IN the past, reveling in
triumphs Of long ago and refus-
ing to face the future.
Use Is 1i1ht
BEAUTY, concludes DR.. Harte,
can be an enormous asset if it's
used In a healthy manner. "A
lovely girl can be an extremely
happy one" she asserts. "if she
accepts her physical attribute as
something she's born with. if she
doesn't use it to get everything
for nothing, if she combines it
with intelligence and sincerity. if
she wears it modestly. And if
she is fully aware that physical
beauty can fade but beauty of
personality win be with her all
her life"
But too many women misuse
the advantage. Therefore, while
a pretty girl may be like a melo-
dy. for them the song too fre-
quently Is Nobody Knows the
Trouble I've Seen" The End
