New Books Preferred
The children seemed to like
the characters in the new
books, she reported. In a COM
parison test Of appeal with a
popular commercial line, she
said, 80 per cent Of the cultur-

one of the Detroit books to re-
read, rather than one Of the
commercial series. And a ma
jority Of all the pupils tested
chose the City Schools books,
she said.
Another finding from sample

neighborhoods was that chill

As Too GirIish
By HARRIET GRFFITHS
star SAT- Writer

Primary reading books may
be too girlish to capture the
Interest Of boys-or even
girls-who are learning to read.
This suggestion was put be-
fore the Greater Washington
intermediate Reading Council
yesterday by Gertrude Whip
pie, assistant director Of Ian
guage education of the Detroit
| CMichO public schools.
Some reading textbooks tend
to populate their stories with
two girls and one boy, she said.
Detroit Is writing 'boy-orient-
ed" books, with three boys and
one girl.
"It Is too bad remedial read
ing classes are filled with
boys" said Miss Whipple, not
ing that In elementary schools,
Language development Is slower
in boys than In girls.
Boys Like Boy Stories
Initial findings from the De-
troit City Schools Reading Pro-
gram indicate that boys ability
to read is helped when they are
given boy stories. And pupils IN
general seem to like boy char
acters better than girls.
DR.. whipple described the
Detroit project, which is now
producing first-grade readers
and will continue at least
through third grade, during q
talk on teaching reading to
culturally deprived children.
An estimated one out Of three
persons in large cities is cultur-
ally deprived, according to one
study.
Many children today are
reaching fourth, fifth, sixth and
even higher grades without
having mastered the mechanics
of reading, she pointed out. She
warned against miSta kin g
background limitations Of chill
dren from culturally deprived
homes for lack Of intelligence.
Tests Often Misleading
Intelligence tests often are
couched in terms foreign to
the child's background, she
warned. She said 1t Is vitality
imp ortant to start at first
grade to reduce failures among
these children, who require
better all-around teaching and
earlier remedial work.
Detroit's new textbooks are
designed to present high aspi-
rationS to the children, not
m erely to be realistic" she
said. But they bring In things
which the child can easily iden-
tify.
For one thing, the series is
multi-r a cial, as the pupils
would find people in their own
neighborhoods in big cities. 1t
tries to show typical families,
rather than only the upper
middle class.
Aslo, every story in the books
has a point-a mystery solved,
a problem worked out or a hu-
morous incident.
This Is important, because
culturally deprived children
have not much desire to read.
said DR.. Whipple. "If they find

THE CABINET DIARIES OF

THE CABINET DIARIES OF
J0SEPHUS DANIELS, 1913
1921. Edited by E. David
Cronon. university Of Ne
braSka Press; $500
Within the voluminOus, frag-
mentary daily record kept by
President Wilson'S only Secre
tary Of the Navy, there are,
now and then, some startling
disclosures, forgotten if ever
revealed when they happened.
For instance, back in the
spring of 1918, two long men,
oranda from Secretary DAN
iels' aide for operations, Rear
Admiral Bradley A. FiSke,
warn that war with Japan ''is
not only possible but even
probable" because Of Japa-
nese anger over the California
exclusion law and other anti
ASiatic measures.
In that era, when air power
was only a potential on the
horizon, Admiral Fiske pointed
out that most Of our fleet
was In the Atlantic, and, with
the Panama Canal still I'M
completed, the voyage around
the Horn would take too long
for US to intervene If Japan
decided to seize Hawaii and
the Philippines, a distinct
possibility.
Foresight
And the admiral, with a vision
which might have been look
ing ahead % years, recalled
that Japan did not always
wait to declare war, but was
given to surprise attacks, as
against China in 1894 and
against Russia In 1904.
The Joint Board Of the
Army and the Navy recon-
mended that in view of the
tense situation, some United
States warships in Chinese
waters be sent at once to the
Philippines. The cabinet was
split on this proposal. Secre-
tary Daniels sided with those
who opposed it, pointing out
that it might stir up Japanese
feelings to the point Of war
and there would not be, be-
sides, enough naval power to
defend the Philippines. The
President upheld the latter
view and the vessels were left
in China. Diplomacy solved
the Japanese crisis for
the time being, until Japan
was better prepared.
A Noble Plan
The diaries also show anoth-
er matter which, according to
the editor, was never made
public. This was that william
Jennings Bryan, who had re-
signed as Secretary Of State
before we went into the First
World War because he felt
that a stiff note to Germany
by President Wilson might
involve us, suggested to Mr..
Daniels a sensational solution
for difficulties with Mexico in
December, 1919.

UndercOver Sources

The Central Intelligence
Agency is presumably tapping
its undercover sources outside
the United States in search Of
any tangible link between Os-
valid and alien forces, as well
as insight into OSwald's life in
Russia.
The CHA is also expected to
provide whatever information
can be uncovered about Oswald
in Cuba. Oswald was most vo-
cal about Cuba when he was
living in New Orleans and rep
resented himself as a secretary
of a Fair Play for Cuba COM
mittee.

Report on Security

The Secret Service report is
expected to deal with the ad-
vance security planning for the
Presidents visit to Dallas as
well as what every agent on the
scene saw and did.
The State Department phase
covers Oswald's visit to Russia,
his move to renounce his Am
erican citizenship, his SUISSE
quent return to this country
with his Russian wife and his
application this year for a pass
port to travel in Russia.
The Defense Department re-
port relates to Oswald's undist-
inguiShed career as a Marine
and his demand on then Secre-
tary Of the Navy Connally to
change the status Of his dis
charge.
The immigration and Natu-
radiation Service is providing
information on Oswald's exits
and re-entries, including his
trip to Mexico September 26,
the same day that news stories
began appearing about Presi-
dent Kennedy's projected visit
to Texas.
