PANAMA, Nov. 2S AP-
Panamanian and United States
Army troops joined forces and
STAYED OF a menacing mob Of
anti . American demonstrators
seeking to march on the Canal
Zone tonight. Thwarted bands
then turned back to spread mob
rule within this capital.
"Gringo go home" the DEM
onstrators cried at the boun-
dairy.
They burned Uncle Sam in
efhgy and stoned American
soldiers.
Tear gas and fire hoses were
brought into play at one point
on the broad Fourth of July
Avenue, which marks the line
between Panama and the
United States-run Canal Zone.
The gas and water beat back
a crowd Of about 300 demon
strators. mostly youths, trying
to plant a Panamanian flag in
the Canal Zone on this 136th
anniversary of the country's
independence from Spain.
Tear Gas Source Disputed
Eye witnesses said the tear
gas was fired by Panamanian
troops - National Guardsmen
who serve as police as well
as soldiers - while Americans
manned the fire hoses.
This account was challenged
at headquarters of the National
Guard, sensitive to political
implications Of Panamanian
nationalist claims to sovereign
ty over the zone. Authorities
there said their men did not
fire the tear gas, that Ameri-
cans did. tE
Mounted men Of Panama's

tail drove attackers down busi-

EXPERIMENT IN EDUCATION
Glasses Try to Break

I The experimental classes
were set up to see what changes
in the existing teaching method
might be possible. They were
suggested BY each Of the par
lticipating public, private and

Board on Science Education,
which Is administering the NSF
grant under the direction Of DR..
John K. Taylor.
The board is made up Of six
Representatives from the WASH

the District Council of Engi-
Ineering and Architectural Sci
|ences. Eventually it win compile

In the meantime, the schools
are free to conduct their own
experiments.

BY JACK KELSO

Donald L. wilkins, target Of
q long -simmering con11ict-of-
interest inquiry. has been asked
by a majority Of the Fairfax
Board Of County Supervisors
to resign as chairman of the
County Hospital Commission.
Six of the seven supervisors
decided informally last Tuesday
to ask for the resignation, but
the request has been kept Sec
ret. Mr.. wilkins is the husband
of Supervisor Anne wilkins.
She did not take part in the
request for her husbands res
ignation.
The six supervisors COM
mended Mr.. wilkins for his
work on the hospital project,
and said the conaict-of- interest
allegations have not been sus-
tanned. But they added that
public confidence has been
weakened by repetitions Of the
charges.
Mr.. wilkins, asked for COM
ment. said the action was
taken at an illegal meeting and
that he had mo intention Of
voluntarily resigning."
Delay Charged
Mr.. wilkins charged further
that "if the board takes this
action and adds to its woeful
record Of delay. then the board
itself must take complete re-
sponsibility for It,"
The request came amid the
supervisors investigation Of
Mr.. wilkins private business
activities and those as chair
man Of the hospital commits
sion.
The current inquiry stemmed
from an investigation last Au-
gust Of alleged construction
delays and extra costs on the
$6 million, 3OO-bed county
hospital now under construc-
tion on Gallows road.
That investigation ended
with q statement from the
supervisors. who said the delay
was caused by the hospital
commissions insistence on ad-
herring to the county plumbing
code.
WrOng-Doing Discounted
The statement issued at the
time said further that there Is
no evidence of wrong-doing or
any unethical procedures con-
cerning the hospital project"
When the hospital investi-
cation ended, the condict-of-
interest inquiry began.
The board on November lSI
agreed to send Common
wealth's Attorney Robert c.

gather further evidence in the
inquiry. He is due to leave

Birth Control
Issue Divides
Democrats
Hopefuls Comment
After Statement by
CuthoIic Bishops
BY ROBERT Z. CLARK
Star stan writer

Leading contenders for the
Democratic presidential nomi-
nation differ on the touchy is
sue Of birth control aid to other
countries raised by q policy
statement last week by the Ma
tons Catholic bishops.
First to go on record was
Senator Kennedy Of Massachu-
sets, q Roman Catholic, who
said he was opposed to any ad-
vocacy Of birth control pro-
grams for foreign countries, al
though he did not rule out aid
to countries which might adopt
such q program as q matter OF
national policy.
He said he believes this is a
decision for the countries con-
cerned to make for themselves
and that United States inter-
vention undoubtedly would be
regarded as Objectionable.
The Catholic bishops had
said United States Catholics
will not support any public as
sistance either at home or
abroad. to promote artificial
birth prevention a. :"
COntenders' Views
In telephone interviews with

contenders authorized these
comments:
Adlai e. Stevenson - ''The
United States should not i'm
pose birth control programs or
foreign countries. But the
United States should not hesi-
tate TO consider requests for aid

foreign countries where popu-

Senator Humphrey Of Min

problems facing the under
developed countries. The issue
Of artificial birth control is not
before the Congress. Nor is 1t
one on which our Government
should set policy for other ma
tions and peoples. Nor should
any policy be adopted to deny
information and assistance II
any nation determines that It
is essential to its national well
fare.
American foreign aid should
not be denied on the basis Of
any country's policy relating to
birth control. Our objective
should be to Cooperate with
friendly nations to improve
their social, economic and po-
litical well being. This objec-
tive can be supplemented
through programs of technical
assistance, economic aid,
health and education, food and
fiber and mutual security"
