The Personality
OF A Newspaper

Last week was National Newspaper Week. News
papers, like people, come in many sizes ana many
personalities. Like people, some are re llable e ana
some a r e not. There newspapers which scream
for attention and there others the same news
tand which whisper the news. All newspapers reflect
the character of their owner. (The Navajo IrlDe).
It should not be surprising to those familiar with
whether in the newspaper television or over he
radio to read see or hear ch about the national
or local leaders, tn e are the people VINO make
important announcements and take neWsWortny actlon
Even the opposition newspaper will carry the story
of President Kennedy, for instance, because ne IS
prominent personality in country 1t would be most
strange if these stories not printed. Inc same
vardstick needs to be applied the coverae OF events
on the reservation that is, the determination OF tne
news value of event action reported tor the IN
formation of our readers.
To talk about the NAVAJO TINES accomplishments
NAV not be the thing to do but those of who have
worked intimately with it are quite ma ana are
very thankful for what the paper has been able TO 40 In
the span of couple of years. The NAVAJO TIMES was
challenge right from the very beginning. it had not
been for support of the majority of the Navajo Tr1
bal Council and the experienced and able journalists,
this paper would not have achieved the present STATUS
it enjoys today. .

vote for the House Of Repre-

The report said that "spe-
cial emphasis should be placed
on efforts to encourage the
movement Of young voters to
Republicanism." 1t added there
were signs that older voters
failed to give an appreciably
larger share of their vote to
Republicans in 1862 than they

group in which he Is cutting
up, or to his seat
A statement prepared by Mr..
Riecks' committee, he said, re-
affirms that reasonable force
may be invoked in emergency
situations to protect the health
and safety Of the pupils and
teachers, or to protect school
o rpublic property and/or to
protect the normal functioning
of the class or school,"
Mr.. Riecks said that corporal
punishment has become "a
frightening term" and has been
misunderstood.
Remove Restriction
The real crux Of this thing
is to remove the sword of
Damocles' over teachers-the
idea that they canot lay hands
on a child" Mr.. Riecks pointed
out.
He AIDED that the guidelines
in preparation are planned to
give teachers an idea of how
far they can go. The important
thing is that a teacher never
wants to let a situation develop
in which the pupil and the
teacher cannot back out
gracefully.
Mr.. Riecks also said that the
administration is considering
making city-wide the rules on
tidy dress already in effect in
some schools. He said that his
committee has studied a Chi
cago pamphlet including not
only the responsibilities of
schools, but Of parents in this
regard.

Republicans analysing last
years election concluded to-
day they must make Roadway
in New England, the big cities
and among young and old vot-
ers to win the presidency in
1864.
G. o. p. National Chairman
William E. Miller said a party
statistical study he released
provides a detailed, factual
basis for satisfaction with the
results of last falls election
and optimism as Republicans
prepare for the campaign of
1864"
Mr.. Miller said in q state
ment that Republicans increas-
ed their vote for House candi-
dates by As million over the
last nonpresidential year cleo
ton in 1858. He cited a net
@. o. P. gain of 479 seats in
State legislative bodies in the
same period.
I'm view of these results" he
said, 1T can hardly be argued
that the electorate registered a
vote Of confidence in the New
Frontier in 1882"
Cuba Action Stressed
Republicans made a net gain
Of three seats in the House, one
in a subsequent special cleo
ton, where they now are out
numered 258 to. lit by the
Democrats. They lost -four
Senate seats, one Of them re-
gained through an appoint
ment. to provide a 67-to-3S
margin for the Democrats
there.
The outcome would have
been different. however, If IL
had not been for President
Kennedy's october quarantine
action against Cuba, the
G. o. P. report contended.
THE opinion of the leaders
Of both major parties is thai
the Democrats would have suf-
te- ed a more severe loss in

ministration had not acted

Corporal Punishment
BY Principals Studied

Principals-but not teachers
-may be allowed to use the
time-honored ruler on a trou-
blemaker's hand or bottom in
the District, Deputy School
Supt. John M. Riecks said yes
terday.
Mr.. Riecks said this is one
possibility under study by q
committee preparing guide
lines on punishment in the
school system.
One aim of Mr.. Riecks' COM
mittee is to straighten out the
confusion about the definition
Of corporal punishment.
Administrative Function"
Mr.. Riecks told a meeting of
so teachers at DC. Teachers
College that principals alone
would be empowered under
current thinking to administer
possible corporal punishment,
as an administrative func-
ton"
Until now, community dis
cussion of corporal punishment
had been centered around use
Of force by classroom teachers.
Mr.. Riecks said that while
that while the exact forms Of
punishment haven't been
settled" chastisement would
probably take the form OF
something like a slap with q
ruler across the hand, or an
other part Of the body"
Mr.. Riecks pointed out that
mild corporal punishment is
sparingly employed under cur
rent policies In nearby Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
Counties.
Force Allowed
He stressed that under a
behavior bulletin" distributed
a year ago, teachers authority
was defined as allowing use of
reasonable force on a pupil who
has become a menace to others
or to himself.
