BOMBING

owned by a trustee of the
church, James r. Rives.
Mr.. Rives said he believed
the bomb was aimed at him
because of his work with the
Alabama Christian movement
group.
The bomb exploded about
$3.50 pm, gouging crater 3
feet wide and 10 inches deep
in the pavement in front of
the Rives house. Mr.. Rives and
I Mr.. Provitt live across from
the church. Houses thanking the
church were also damaged by
the conclusion.
Mr.. Rives \said his grand
daughter, kindly Rene Nc
Williams, was sleeping in a bed
near a window shattered by the
explosion. The baby was
Showered by splinters Of glass,
but received only a minor scalp
cut.
Mr.. Provitt said he was told
that "a carload of white peo-
pie" drove along the block just
before the blast occurred.
Police said a preliminary in
vestigation indicated that the
explosives were tossed into the
street without any special
target.
The blast reduced the front
OF the Rives house to kindling.
There was no immediate
estimate Of damage.
Fire Marshal A. Rosenfeld
said the bomb contained at
least six sticks Of dynamite
and probably more.
In previous years there have
been several bombings with
racial overtones in Birming-
ham. Before the triple bomb
ing last January:
Someone tried unsuccessfully
to bomb a Negro church in
1858.
Some Negro houses we're
damaged by dynamite in April,
1858. apparently as a result Of
the sale Of houses TO Negroes.
Mr.. Shuttlesworth's home
was damaged by an explosion
on Christmas night, 1856.

Has Changed Picture

vide Mr.. Macmillan with a new
strong incentive to see to il
that the Brussels negotiations
succeed.
This does not imply, OF
course, a complete rupture be-
tween Britain and the United
States in the nuclear field
There is every reason to believe
that the British would continue
to honor their commitments
not to turn over weapons and
information received from the
United States to other coun-
tries. There is every reason to
believe that both Britain and
France would continue their
own essentially separate nu-
clear efforts.
1t does imply. however, a
much closer collaboration be-
tween Britain and France in
the whole military field than
has existed in the past.
Independent System
This could form the nucleus
Of an independent European
system of military defense, and
on this point Mr.. Thornley,
croft's remarks suggest that
British thinking is already a
good deal closer to that OF Gen
de Gaulle than to that OF the
Kennedy administration.
Indeed. in the nuclear field
1t is possible that the French
in the not too distant future
may have more to offer the
British than vice versa.
The French nuclear weapons
system from the outset has
been entirely independent OF
the United States with British
collaboration. A complete weap-
ons system Of the modest ef-
fectiveness aimed at by Euro
pean military strategists could
be achieved without great diff
ficulty.
Any such development. OF
course, runs completely counter
TO the firmly held ideas OF
American leaders about what
makes military sense in Europe
II also has political implica-
lions for NATo and the Whole
Atlantic community which are

There is little question. how
ever. that they will be con-
templated most seriously by
Gen. de Gaulle and Mr.. Mac
milan in their meeting today
And the conclusions they
reach will have far reaching
significance for the alliance for
years TO come.

1t has often been said-and

the Soviet Union for an utterly

The Chinese struck back at

ended Bulgarian, Czechoslovak,
Hungarian and Italian party

The Chinese said they would
refuse to knuckle under to this

BY JACKIE WALL

Much has. and is. being said
in this country about the merits
of teaching reading by the
sight method against the merits
of reading by the phonetic ap-
proach. Neither method is ex-
elusive of the other. Rather it
would appear the argument is
over the problem of timing and
emphasis.
The question before the coun-
try should not only be whether
or not the children are learning
to read effectively. but also
whether or not they are learn
ing to read as early as possible
by the most practical methods
known.
From the 1905 until the
present time, the teaching of
reading in the United States has
usually employed the sight read
ing or word-memory approach.
This. approa ID emphasizes
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1962-08-31

the 18th century where children
were taught to read by sound
ing out letter by letter and were
presented with long lists of diff
flcult words to unlock by
sound is not revived by the new
advocates of phonics. Rather,
most of the new systems use
several methods to attack" the
whole word, but the basic stress
is on phonetic principles and an
alysiS.
An important part Of the new
phonetic approach is the fact
that teachers are given specific
instruction in the new texts on
how to use this approach sys-
tematically.
Major Difference
One of the major differences
between the phonetic method
and the word-recognition plan is
the fact that the teaching Of
reading by phonics starts ineyi-
