House Argues
Over Secrecy

The House debates today
whether Executive agencies can
use a 1889 Law more for CEN
sorship than for custody Of
governmental information.
At issue is a bill stating that
the so-called housekeeping
statute" enacted in President
Washington's administration
shall not authorize the with
holding Of information from
the public or limit the avail
ability of Executive agency
records to the public.
At the root Of the matter are
claims Of executive privilege"
by Federal officials. They &C.
casionally have cited the l69-
year-old law as a reason for
refusing to disclose news Of
their agency activities. Con-
gressional critics have called
this Executive Fifth Amend
ment."
Statute Held Twisted
In a speech prepared for de-
livery at the start of House
debate today, Representative
Moss, Democrat of California,
chairman Of the House Govern
ment Information Subcommit-
tee. said the 1889 statute has
been twisted into a broad claim
Of statutory authority to with
hold purely administrative,
non-Security information"
He complained that the law
must be clearly amended to
prevent 1t from continuing to
be used as "a crutch when Of
flcials could find no other au-
thority for Withholding"
Mr.. Moss explained that his
proposed amendment would not
AFFECT military and diplomatic
secrets. income-tax returns and
trade secrets obtained by the
Government in confidence. or
information which can legiti-
mately be withheld under other
laws enacted by Congress.
Would Serve Notice"
by enacting this amend
ment." Mr.. Moss said, Con-
gress viii serve notice on the
Executive branch that officials
may withhold information only
when they have the proper le-
gal authority. 1t must be made
abundantly clear to Executive
officials that the Withholding of
information from the public
and from Congress for capri
cious or arbitrary reasons can
not be eondoned."
House consideration Of the
bill comes today-not entirely
by Observation-Disclosures with
the American Society Of News
paper Editors in annual con-
vention here. The ASNE has
Endorsed the amendment.
A similar bill, and other pro-
posals to facilitate and broaden
the free flow Of governmental
information, is under consider
alton by q Senate subcommittee
headed by Senator Hennings,
Democrat Of Missouri, which
has hearings scheduled today.

gram was explained to the par
ent. Local schools try to over
look no details which would aid
the child, parents or teacher at
the beginning of this educational
journey. The process of educa-
ton is a forward look thing in
Smyrna. The little first-graders-
to-be are looking forward to all
the good things to come in the
schools. The older graduates at
the high school are looking for
ward to taking their place in the
world or going on to higher edu-
cation. These students illustrate
very we'll the look to the future

MEDICAL CHECK-UPS

While most children, and adults
alike, are thinking about the end
of this school year, others are
very much concerned with the
start of another Smyrna Ele-
mentary School, under the direc-
tion of its principal, Mrs. Julia
Slaughter, last week carried out
a program of pre-school registra-
tion. Boys and girls went through
the involved process of register
ing to attend first grade.
You may see the elementary
teachers interviewing each parent
and child personally in the first
two accompanying pictures. De-
spite the large number of those
entering school, there was no
rushing; plenty of time was al
lowed for this important first step
to education.
Registration was performed in
the foyer and cafetorium of the
new elementary school. Upon ar
rival, the child and its parent
were ushered into the cafetorium
for a private talk with first grade
teachers that they become better
acquainted. After forms were
completed and interviews were
over, each parent was given a
copy of a book entitled Happy
Journey. This book tells about
the things which may lie ahead
for those young students given
to the care of the Smyrna Special
School District. Leaving the first
grade teacher, the parent and
child were taken for a talk with
nurses of the school district Here
many questions concerning the
care of the childs health were
asked and answered by both
parties. Again, the friendly, un-
rushed atmosphere, the personal
attention so typical of Smyrna
Special School was in evidence.

Every motorist whose operators
license and registration has been
ordered suspended, who does not
turn in the license or registration,
will face arrest for failure to COM
ply with the law in this respect.
This is the ultimatum issued by
Motor Vehicle Commissioner Char
les C. Moore as he was making
report on the number of arrests
already made for this offense, and
the amount of fines and costs that
had been imposed following the
arrests.
Thus far, according to Mr..
Moore, 26 motorists have been ar
rested for failure to comply with
the law concerning the surrender
of their license or registration af-
ter they have been suspended by
the Financial Responsibility
branch of the Motor Vehicle De-

According to the records in Mr..
Moore's Office, the fines and costs
imposed in those cases, where ar
rests have been made, ranged
from $2e.50 to $122.50.
In connection with these arrests,
Mr.. Moore, and Hattie w. Tar

following statement:

First-Grade Teacher Retires
After 30 Years Service
to Smyrna Schools
KEEN ALSO RESIGNS

The Smyrna Board of Educa-
tion at its regular monthly meet
ing accepted with regret the res
ignaion of two teachers, Miss
Caroline Stats, teacher of first
grade, and Miss Minnie Keen.
teacher of junior high school
mathematics. Miss Stats will
complete 30 years of teaching in
the Smyrna Schools this June,
and will be eligible for retire
ment. She has accepted a teach
ing position in Pennsylvania. The
board announced that it is ac-
cepting applications for 1st grade
teachers. Two vacancies exist in
this grade, one through Miss
Stats retirement, the other
through increased enrolment. In
addition, the district needs a jun
ior high science teacher, two
junior high mathematics teach
ers, an English teacher, and an
elementary art teacher. The
board took action to increase COW
enage on all boilers in the district
from $4,000 to $4,000 per ac-
cident. These policies are written
through Wroten-Pratt Insurance
Company, Smyrna. Regular in
spections are made of all school
boilers by the insurance company.
The board reviewed and accepted
the audit as submitted by Lillian
Martin of the Budget Commits
sion, commencing the administra-
tion and bookkeeping staff. The
board set the school calendar for
1958-59, following as far as pos
sible the state calendar. Pupils
will start school on Thursday,
September 4th, Christmas vaca-
tion will be from December oath
to January End inclusive, Easter
vacation will include March 23-
Both. The last day of school for
pupils and teachers will be June
18th, with graduation on June
10th. The board approved the
starting of an additional section
of 1st grade if a teacher can be
found. The board had previously
approved an additional section of
End grade for the 1958-59 school
year. The board studied the prob
lem of termites in the existing
shop building and authorized the
school authorities to move to-
ward termite-proofing this build
ing. The board purchased a sous
aphone for the use of the band.
The board approved the use of
the American Progressive Health
Insurance Company for the COM
ing year. This company will sell
student and athletic insurance to
schools throughout the state and
is approved by he Delaware Ath-
letic Association. The board ap-
proved the use of bleachers by
the Little League and the Pony
League as requested by Wells
Campbell and Gene Handsberry
and Shelby Harrington. The
board noted that the flag pole

Russian teen-agers are so busy

star Blanche Thebom, who spent
six weeks in that country recently
while she performed at concerts
and in the operas Carmen" and

"The acquisition of education is
the primary concern of every per-
son in Russia" Miss Thebom says.
There is no the world owes me a
living type of thinking by the
young people. They know that la
ter gains depend on their educa-

The educated Russian may own
a car, property, or a house in the
country, but he cannot even ad-
vance in shop work unless he goes
back to school, she says.
Even the young girls working
on elevators, 16 or IL years of age,
study as they ride up and down.
The libraries are open "a hours a
day. The worst thing you can
call a person in Russia is uncul-
tured."
The most imposing building in
Moscow, she says, is at the Univer-
sity of Moscow which has an en-

less expensive than our own opera.
