Sputnik.Se|Is
Bill Of Goods
For Teachers
Bya star star Writer

CHICAGO, Dec. 28.-Sputnik
and the ensuing space age"
have made the American public
receptive to q bill of goods
which educators have been try
ing to sell for years, DR.. Edward
Victor of Northwestern Uni
versity said yesterday.
This bill of goods is q con-
tinuous science program in the
public schools, starting in kin
dergarten and running through
high school. DR.. Victor was
one Of IL educators taking part
in a session on the teaching OF
space science, a feature Of the
American Association for the
Advancement Of Science meet
ing here.
"One good thing sputnik has
done Is to set off the country
on q ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
twelve e-continuous-science-pro-
gram kick" he said. The re-
suit, DR.. Victor predicted, will
be that "five to ten years from
now the sort Of science they will
be teaching in elementary
schools will be amazing"
Even in kindergarten classes
today, some amazing" science
is being taught, Mrs. Mildred L,
Balou Of the Des Moines public
schools said. She mentioned
complex concepts like inter-
planetary distances which are
being taught to 5 and 6-year-
old children.
Lawrence r. Hubbell Of the
Oak Park Qll0 elementary
schools outlined q collection OF
free materials available for
schools from concerns with a
likely promotional sense. He
mentioned as two worthwhile
educational kits those distri-
buted by the Bell Telephone
System and the Coca Cola Co.
The problem Of motivating
teachers and getting them
ready to teach space age
science Is actually greater than
getting students to absorb the
subject. the educators agreed.

be identified when they appear

None Of them is from Albert

were under martial law for l6
days until today. All are from
Minnesota. however, he said.
The plant resumed operations
under protection of National
Guardsmen, sent here "a

Few Pickets at Gates
The United Packinghouse
Workers of America Union had

workers streamed in this morn
ing.
Martial law in Albert Lea
and the county was lifted at
midnight by Gov. Orville Free
man in compliance with the
court order that reopened the
plant.
The GuardSmen were kept
on duty, however, to help local
police to keep the peace that
has been undisturbed since the
two days Of rock-throwing
demonstrations December 9
and 10.
Their main job was to en-
force a district court order is
sued before martial law was
declared. The order signed by
Judge John Cahill prohibited
more than four union pickets
at any plant entrance or more
than three persons congregat-
ing outside the gates.
The weapons were found as
local officers and Guardsmen
searched every car going !
through the plant gate. One
Guard officer said We're shak-
ing them down.
Gov. Freeman proclaimed
martial law December IL after
two days Of rock-throwing vio-
lence directed at the nonunion

replace strikers. He acted after

Gov. Orville Freeman pro-
claimed martial law December

throwing violence directed at

had hired to replace strikers.
He acted after city and county
officers said they couldn't cope

The National Guard moved
In, and the plant was closed.
Wilson appealed to the Federal
courts. A three-judge panel
ruled last Wednesday that Gov.
Freeman had exceeded his au-
thority. Subsequently, the Gov
ernor lifted martial law and
turned over the 73 Guardsmen

a policy Of "containment'
through their boycott and
blockade. They want more time
to train their forces.
Incident Might Spread
But no one rules out the pos
sibility that a border clash
might spread suddenly into an
other full scale struggle such
as those of l948 and Ito a lesser
extent) 1856. During the Suez
affair, the Israelis reached the
canal in less than five days
with British and French help.
On the balance sheet, the
United Arab Republic and seven
other nations in the eastern"
Arab bloc could field some 340,-
900 men against Israel's 100000
maximum. But the geographic
cal complications Of the area
and the vast distances between
such states as Sudan and Israel
would necessarily confine any
effective Arab fighting force to
fewer than 100000.
Despite these impressive
sounding totals, Israeli military
power, with its capability for
quick mobilization, is considered
superior to any Arab force, in
