of parochial school pupils at state
expense, long a disputed issue in
Wisconsin, has come into the
courts again in this state.
John B. Grogan, Fort Atkinson
attorney, is seeking clarification of
the State Constitution that bars
such transportation as it applies
to his 13-year-old son, Thomas.
Grogan. who lives about seven
miles from Fort Atkinson, sent
Thomas to st. Joseph Catholic
School in this city after the dis
trict school where he resides was
closed.
The boy rode a school bus that
discharged all the children except
Thomas at a Fort Atkinson public
school. The Fort Bus Company
billed Mr.. Grogan $84 for the serv-
ice. He refused TO pay and the
case was transferred by the justice
of the peace TO Jefferson County
Court.
II is Mr. Grogan's contention
that the State Legislature. in
failing to provide for trsnsporta-
tion Of parochisI school pupils,
brought about an injustice.
He claims that the US. Supreme
Court has held that such trans
portation does not violate the prin-
ciples of church-state separation.
The question of parochial school
bus transportation has been an IS
sue in Wisconsin for many years.
Several attempts have been made
TO write into Wisconsin law direc-
tives to school districts to provide
such transportation. A statewide
referendum several years ago did
not favor state payments for such
transportation.
In I94q the Attorney General
held that Wisconsin laws did not
authorize a school district TO
transport children TO . paroehisi
or private school in bus owned
and operated by the district,
either free or upon payment OF
fares.

his estimate was based on the

3.474 who submitted to explana-
tions went back)

tions came shouting "TaiWan! Tai

The northern command" the
Communists, then gave individual
explanations to the rest OF the
men in that compound. "They got

served.
No Agents
The Korean and Chinese Com
munists constantly alleged that
secret agents" had been sumggled
into the camps to prevent prison
ers from seeking repatriation.

said. "Ali were genuine prisoners

The question of transportation

has an internal organization"
On the day he returned the priS.
oners to the U.N. Command, Gen.
eral Thimayya tried to make them
leave the compounds in single file,
with 20 yards between each man.
His purpose was to give everyone
a chance TO turn north, ne said.
The plan was carried out in
some enclosures. The Koreans re-
fused to follow it. Indian officers
let it lapse by speeding up the
march after dark. As a result,
General Thimayya felt that more
than half" of the prisoners did
not get the final opportunity he
intended.
tThe Swiss and Swedish mem
bers Of the commission declared
that the arrangements at the
time made it possible for the
prisoners TO seek repatriation"
Actually i04 did. on the day of
departure. Even il only one
third, or 1000 got the foil
chance, this would be no more
than is per cent of that mum.
ber.l
General Thimayya commanded
the Indian Custodian Force, head
ed the Indian delegation and was
chairman Of the commission.
Apparently he came TO Korea be
lieying that many of the prisoners
in the anti-communist camps would
seek repatriation as soon as they
were given a choice.
Shortly after the explanations"
started, he told this correspondent
that he was surprised" at the
small proportion who chose repat-
riation.
Il expected that about 20 per
cent, or between 1000 and 5000,
would ask to go back he said
then. "Not because they are Com
munistS, but because, like our
own people in India, they do not
want TO be away from their
homes"
Terrible Strain
In his final interview, General
Thimayya said he was glad TO be
leaving. 1T was a terrible mental
strain he said, being in the mid
die between two powerful political
ideologies and having to maintain
your neutral attitude constantly.
Our meetings were held under de.
pressing and harassing conditions
AS the Indian member. General
Thimayya had three political adviS-
ers, high-ranking civilian officials
of the Indian government. 1t is not
known how the Indian delegation
arrived at policy decisions. such as
siding with the Polish and Czecho-
slovak delegates in the reports.
The Poles and CzechoslovakS APP
parently followed the Communist
line without deviation. Their state
ments printed with the reports fail
TO show even afpretense at neutral
ity.
The Indian delegation voted
against the Polish and Czechoslo-
yak delegations on several major
issues.
If there were a next time" Gen
eral Thimayya would wish ito be
in at the making of the agree
ment. so that I'd know exactly what
each side meant"
But he holds that "it should new
er be tried again, because its not
feasible"

A YOUNG MAN who was
"A always late for work
when he bothered to show up
at all, and did little when he
was there, became the most
famous employee the Coast
and Geodetic Survey ever
had.
James Abbott McNeill
Whistler, whose painting OF
his mother is one of the most
celebrated canvaseS in the
world, and whose 400 etch-
ings are collectors items, got
his start as a craftsman for
the Survey. He was 20 at the
time.
Three years before, he had
entered West Point on an ap-
pointment from President
Fillmore. Col. Robert E. Lee
was commandant Of the Mil
itary Academy then. Whistler
led his class in drawing-but
in other subjects he was well
toward the bottom. A chem
istry examination proved his
undoing. In later years. he
often remarked, Had silicon

Since the chemistry pro-
lessor refused to go along
when Whistler described sill
con lone of the chief con-
stituents of the earth's CRUST
as a gas, the artist was
flunked out. Coming to Wash
ington. he appealed to Jeffer-
son Davis, then Secretary of
War. Davis declined to re-
instate him, but did get him
a job with the Survey at a
$3.50 a day. Later, he be-
came an engraver, and his
duties included the etching
of charts on copper plates.
This training proved invalu-
able later, but at the time
was rather boreSome.
Whistler worked Spasmodi-
cally from November, 1854, to
February, 1855, when-to the
relief of his superiors-he left
for Europe and fame. He
never returned to the United
States.

enjoy school very much. It is usually
the center Of my activities. I have
some complaints about all these peo-
pie who are always giving opinions
on how schools should be run.
! First some words to those people who
say that nowadays children aren't
learning enough. ] win now quote word
for word some paragraphs from the

graduating class of Stanton School.
] wrote the speech. These few para
graphs help explain what we are learn
ing in public school today. ~
Our fields of learning have, differed
In many ways from the school days
Of our parents We may not spend
as many hours each day on writing,
spelling and learning arithmetic facts.
We may spend time on music, dancing
and games in school. Yet we have been,
learning the most important thing of
all. We have learned to think for
ourselves"
This was part of the speech I made
at our graduation exercises June 18th
Of this year. I will try to justify my
reasoning. I realize we children in
the public schools aren't getting GER
tain things which we-.need such as
more work In arithmetic and spelling.
But did any OF you grownups give re-
