More Freedom
Due for Kuwuit

LONDON, June 19 (AP).-
Britain has repeatedly agreed
to relinquish formal control of
Kuwait's foreign relations,
leaving the oil-rich Middle East
sheikdom free to establish di-
rect ties with foreign powers.
Shiek Abdullah As-Salim
AS-Sabah actually has been
managing foreign relations for
some time for his 5,800-square-
mile territory on the shores of
the Persian Gulf between Iraq
and Saudi Arabia. The British
Foreign Office has served only
as a channel of communication.
Kuwait presumably will con-
tinue under British protection.

Critical of Football

Another midshipman in this
group had dropped in standing
progressively from within the
top 5 per cent for his first year
to about 20 per cent for his
third year. He attributed this
decline to the amount Of time
he was spending in sports
notably varsity football.
THE Naval Academy authori-
ties must bear the full RESPONSE
bility for the situation illus
trated by these examples. When
students are made to believe
that sports and extra -curricu-
lar activities are more i'm
portant than their studies, you
can see why they develop atti-
tudes they do.
Il have no doubt that any
move to decrease the emphasis
on football at the Naval Acad-
envy will be met by a great hue
and cry from host of alumni
and the officers and coaches
involved. They never tire of
extolling the virtues of foot
ball in the development of
initiative and leadership. I
have never understood how
these qualities are developed
in carrying out plays which
are selected by the coach and
which require precise move
ments laid out in advance by
him. With sadness, I must
predict that when the day
finally dawnS when football
has disappeared from all the
better colleges, its last strong
hold will be the three service
academies"

j. n. Returns
ToCOngoP Port

LEOPOLDVILLE. The Congo,
June 19 (AP).-The United
Nations flag flew over the Con-
golese port of Matadi again to-
day, signifying the return of
U. N. supervision to the Congo's
chief port after an absence, OF
more than three months. -
One hundred unarmed Nj"
gerian policemen took the U. N.
banner into Matadi yesterday,
marching through streets
decked with welcoming flags,
Their reception was In
marked contrast to the U. Ms
sudden departure from Matadi
last March 6, when its Suda-
nese garrison lay down their
arms after 36 hours of fighting
with Congolese troops.
The defeat was not only a
crushing blow to U. N. prestige.
1t meant that U. N. personnel
could no longer check on COM
through the Congo's one
deep-water port to insure that
arms were not brought in for
the Congo army.
Negotiations to get U. N.
forces back into Matadi have
been going on ever since, and
the U. N. refused to
take delivery of its own sup
plies coming through Matadi
unless its own personnel were
on hand to supervise their un-
loading. The supplies had been
piling up in warehouses in
Leopoldville.
President Joseph Kasavubu's
regime finally agreed to let un-
U. N. troops move into
Matadi.

Catholics
Imprisoned
By Hungary

BUDAPEST, Hungary, June
19 (AP). - Twelve Roman
Catholics were sentenced to
prison today on charges of
plotting the overthrow of Hun
gary's Communist regime.
The heaviest term-l2 years
was handed the Rev. Istvan
Tabody, charged with high
treason as well as anti-State
activities.
Although tried in secret be-
fore a separate court, Father
Tabody was confronted with his
companions to hear sentence
passed. Details of his case
were not disclosed.
Sentenced to eight years was
Oedoen Barlay, accused as one
of the leaders of a so-called
Christian Front organization.
The prosecution contended
that all the accused either be-
longed to or had knowledge of
the organization with the in
tention of working to replace
the Communist regime with a
Christian republic.
The indictment said they il
legally trained an elite Catholic
youth corps to assume leading
posts in the event of a change
in government.
Barlay was held for 90
months in 1858 for alleged
anti-state activity. This to-
gether with the five months he
has presently been under de-
tention, will be deducted from
his sentences.
The Rev. Odon Lenard. given
a 7l2-year sentence, was the
only one of the IL publicly
tried to plead not guilty. He
was released from prison in
1858 after serving part of a
six-year term for alleged anti
state activities.
During the six-day trial. he
engaged in heated exchanges
with trial Judge Istvan Bimbo
and was bluntly told that CO.
operation with the court was
likely to tighten his sentence.

Rickover Heaps Scorn
On Navy Incompetents

Midshipmen are quite imma-
ture in their attitude, Admiral
Rickover told the committee.
They have been kept in a
state of adolescence. Instead
of using these very impression
able years, from Is to %, to
train them for a serious adult
occupation, the Naval Academy
authorities treat them as ad-
olescents and they react &C
cordingly. In civilian univerSi-
ties. young men like these are
thrown on their own. But at
the Naval Academy almost
everything is done for them.
They are subject to petty rules,
many of which had their origin
in the English boarding schools
but no longer have meaning
in this day and age. The term
Brigade of Midshipmen' is no
misnomer. They are a regi-
mented group.
They are being trained for
a Navy which no longer exists.
by officers. many of whom do
not know the real needs of to-
days Navy, and who are not
aware that they don't know.
I also interviewed NROTC
midshipmen from civilian COL
leges, so I am able to make a
direct comparison. The young
men from the civilian colleges
are more adult in their atti-
tudeS, and they are generally
better qualified academically.
In contrast with the NROTC
Naval Reserve Officers Train
ing Corps Midshipmen, it is
apparent that the Naval Acad-
emy students have not made
best use of these good learning
years. They have not been
sufficiently motivated; their
energies have been directed to
areas of questionable value
either for modern warfare or
for training of the intellect. .. :.
Cites Examples
I'VE need the Naval Academy
and the other service acade-
mics, but only if they do the
job for which they are in
tended"
Admiral Rickover said en-
tirely too much of the time of
the midshipmen at the Naval
Academy is taken up with non-
essentials.
Let me give you examples
that will help illustrate the
problem" he said.
Among the midshipmen I
interviewed a few months ago
was a young man whose stand
ing at the end of three years
at the Academy was within
the top few per cent of his
class. However, during the first
term of his final year his marks
and his class standing had
dropped drastically. I asked
him to tell me why. He ex-
planned that during the first
week of the academic year he
was away from the Academy
with a group Of midShipmen
escorting Miss America can
didates.
During the second week he
was sent to Mexico with an
other group of midshipmen
representing the Naval Acad-
emy. In addition. he was ac-
lively participating in five diff
ferent extra -curricular activi-
ties. Here was a fine young
man with a good mind fritter-
ing away his time with trivia,
no elective courses and |
performing academically way
below his capabilities.

didn't like them. And it also doesn't take
much imagination or very long memory
to know that most of the kids really like
the trampoIines and enjoy bouncing on
them
To determine what element of danger
really exists by the use of these things, we
asked how many trampolines accidents had
been reported. The answer given was three.
And this figure was printed in the newspa-
pers
Knowing the difficulties many have had
in the past trying to get accurate information
from school officials, another attempt was
made to get more realistic figure
The School Board has Safety Committee
and this committee makes official reports.
And although we have not been able to get
one, high official in Dr. Winters office
said that the accident report shows that there
were 43 trampoline accidents in the Junior
and Senior High Schools in the county during
the school year 1959-60 The report also shows
that so far this year there have been 81 ac-
cidents due to the use of trampolines.
Just how serious these accidents were is
not known at this time. Perhaps, the public
information department will make a full re-
port on this subject
and the Superintendent fail to realize the

There is no reason for school officials to

one would think by this time they would have
learned lesson or two.
1t is difficult to know how school officials
expect young people to learn one of the basic

they continue to give erroneous and mislead-
ing information concerning activities that the
public has right to know about
There must be sound reasons why 40

each, have been bought and are in use in
the schools. And there should have been a
complete and accurate report given with
out delay.
Facts and figures have way of causing
embarrassment. This school administration
should know this by now.

Byron's Column

1t won't be long before young men and
women in college will be looking for summer
work.
We thought you might enjoy the follow
ing letter to DR.. John E. Everett received
from young lady attending Penn State:
Dear Mr.. Everetts
MAY 1 work for you this summer,
II can rite and reed pretty good and
just love fsicisess offises:
Well? I amt much of talker. have ref
erees but they asked me not to tell you who
they was;
"And I had whole lots of experience?
Sweetie:

1 want this job it took me hours to write
this letters: I did have help tho;
"Also, can gossip real good with your
patience:

Needless to say, officials at Penn State,
especially Gene Goodwin, would run and hide
if such letter really were meant to be seri-
GUS and written from the college Judy Ev-
erett sent it to her Dad in order for him to
get laugh in between the more weighty
medical reports he has to read Also, it prob
ably breaks the study-strain for Judy.
Several weeks ago Mr.. and Mrs. Morri-
son of Kensington raised the question con-
corning the danger in the use of trampo-
lines in the general physical education pro-
gram of Montgomery County Schools.
OF course, there is division of opinion.
The Morrisons said they saw no reason for
the Board of Education to continue to permit
the scheduling of this highly specialized type
of gymnastics whose risk of injury to novices
is out of all proportion to its dubious bene-
fits
School officials, especially in the physical
education department, have expressed the op-
posite viewpoint.
Following up the complaint of the Morri-
sons and several others known about we con-
tacted the head of the department. A demon
stration was arranged and photographs were
taken showing accomplished students per-
forming on mini-tramps and trampolines.
1t wouldn't take too much Imagination
to see the real danger in the use Of these
things, especially by youngsters who

developed. Capitalization is in
principle unsanitary.
The only way to mitigate
spring floods on the Potomac
River and so minimize the de-
bris carried into slack water, is
by forestation.
1t follows that the benefited
lowlands will have to provide
most of the original investment
with harvesting as a byproduct.
This can speed up forestation
but not by any crash projects
such as are involved in big con-
struction of dams and reser-
voirs. But the current Appala-
chan poverty can be relieved
by gradually improving on the
wilderness of nature and help
ing the beaver population do a
bit of exploding. They will build
better and cheaper dams than
the Army can.
