United Stales Wili Drive
For Mid-October Korean Peace
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. Aug.
31 (INS).—The United States de
cided Monday to press for a mid-
October Korean peace parley in
Geneva to beat down Communist
plans for reviving debate on the
issue in the Sept. 15 U.N. As
sembly.
As a first step, the 16 Allies
with troops in Korea will meet in
Washington Tuesday to consider a
U. S. draft proposal suggesting the
early meeting date and Swiss lo
cality. Those among the 15 who
wish to participate in the confer
ence with the United States—in ad- ,
dition to South Korea—will be ask
ed to sign up.
Agreement on the draft proposal
will mean that the United States
will promptly forward it as a
documented offer to Red China and
North Korea with an accompanying
request that an early reply is de
sired.
Expectations are that the Com
munists will launch a propaganda
tirade to smokescreen delaying tac
tics aimed at gaining time until
Sept. 15, when Soviet U. N. Dele
gate Andrei Vishinsky is expected
to demand new consideration of the
Korean peace parley for inclusion | demand for reopening the Korean
of neutrals like India and Burma.
To offset the possibility of an
other split between the Americans
and the Commonwealth Allies over
India or composition of the con
ference, the United States also is
launching high - level diplomatic
talks in various capitals with a
view to building up a common
front.
The U.S. aim is to be ready for
the Sept. 15 assembly with these
bisic Allied understandings:
1. Rule out in the assembly by
a two-thirds vote any Vishinsky
w-
conference debate and considera
tion of expected Communist coun
terdemands.
2. Rule out with overwhelming
assembly vote any expected de
mand, either by Russia or the Arab-
Asian bloc, for discussion of Red
China’s seating in the United Na
tions.
3. Elect Madame V. U. Pandit of
India president of the eighth an
nual assembly.
On the latter point, the United
States may face considerable crit
icism and opposition outside the
Commonwealth bloc and Ai'ab-As-
ian nations. Many Latin American
countries are against Madame Pan
dit and for the rival candidate
Prince Wan of Thailand. Other
supporters of Prince Wan are the
Philippines, Nationalist China and
Pakistan.
Britain’s Sir Gladyn Jebb sought
to set at rest fears that Madame
Pandit might lean too closely to
ward U. N. members who belong
to the Communist bloc or are Com
munist sympathizers. He said
Madame Pandit “can not influence”
the assembly’s decisions and added:
Madame Pandit is not pro-
Communist. She thinks that the
recognition of Communist China is
right and proper because they con
trol that country. I think the In
dians are our friends. They cer
tainly are not Communists.”

‘Ready for School' Age
Varies With Individual
The age at which a child is ready
to go to school is not a matter of
simple chronology, says the Better
Vision Institute. It’s a question of
physical, mental, emotional, and
Social security. Physical develop
ment as it pertains to the eyes
is most important of all, and a child
should never be required to study
until he can focus upoh nearby ob
jects well enough to learn to read.
Around the age of six to eight,
youngsters experience changes in
their bodies and nervous systems
which prepare them for the task
of reading. Among other things,
they gain the ability to focus their
eyes for near-point work. But some
children acquire the necessary ma-
Civil Service Gives
Cartographic Exam
Examinations have been an
nounced by the U. S. Civil Service
Commission for Cartographex-, Car
tographic Aid, Cartographic Tech
nician, and Cartographic Drafts
man, for filling positions in various
Federal agencies in Washington,
D.C., and vicinity. Some field-
service-at-large positions through
out the United States may also be
Tilled. The salaries of the positions
range from $2,750 to $10,800 a
year.
No written test will be given.
Appropidate education or exper

tion and experience is required.
Applications will be accepted un
til further notice and must be filed
with the U.S. Civil Service Com
mission, Washington 25, D.C. Ap

from the Commission’s Washing
ton office or from a civil service

turity by the age of five, and oth
ers not till seven or eight.
4t-’s all right for a youngster to
go to kindergarten before he at
tains reading readiness. But if he
enters at four and a half, which is
the minimum age in a number of
states, he may not be equal to the
first grade a year later. Even
in a class with an average of six
and ,a half, about 50 per cent of
the pupils lack the eye coordina
tion that they need for reading.
And this is a serious lack. School
authorities in California say that
entrance into the first grade of
children without reading readiness
is one of the leading causes of ac
ademic and social maladjustment.
Parents often make the mistake
of insisting that their children
start school at the earliest legal
age, no matter how immature the
youngsters may be. But, even if
little Johnny’s intelligence quo
tient is well above 100, he may be
unable to focus his eyes on a book
and may impair his vision by try
ing to do so. If he is too imma-
ture, he’s likely to acquire a sense
of insecurity which may lead to
bad habits or even lawlessness.
Perhaps he’ll need to repeat the
first grade anyway, for all his
pax-ents’ impatience. It will be
better for him to do so—or to re
peat kindergarten before attempt
ing the first "grade—than to go on
trying to keep pace with more ma
ture boys and girls.
Don’t push your child beyond his
depth, the Institute advises. Be
fore you send him to school, make
sure that he can control his eye
movements, see likenesses and dif
ferences in simple diagram form
and measure up to all the require
ments of reading readiness. Your
eyesight specialist can help you
judge his visual development.
4-H Leader Lab
Argues Problems
Here’s A Way
To Win Battle
With Mr. Mole
How can we get our parents to
understand us ? What can we do
to r get them interested in what we
want to do ?
These questions were discussed
at the Texas 4-H Leadership Lab
oratory by 110 club members as
Dr. Glenn C. Dildine, National 4-H
Foundation, Washington, D.C. help
ed them find their own answers.
Thursday’s session was a contin
uum of the week’s exploring into
human relations and development
problems which the laboratory is
designed for.
“Camp cook-out and circle” fea
tured the evening program Thurs
day at Hensel Park on the campus.
The 4-H Council and groups of
H£ad, Heart, Hands and Health

velop the program of activities.
Friday was Achievement Day
when the groups summarized their
findings and dramatized them us
ing the treasure chest and key
theme. Congressman Olin Teague
showed the movies of the inaugu
ration as a special feature for the
luncheon. The evening meal was
Smorgasbord followed by the fun

Moles in their search for food,
which consists largely of insects
and earthworms, burrow just be
low the surface of the ground, and
this causes the soil to be pushed
up in ridges. The daihage to
young plants is usually the result
of the loosening or removing of the
soil from about their roots, causing
them to dry out and die.
The following is a simple but
effective way of removing moles
from gardens. With a spade or
shovel, stealthily approach their
runways either early in the morn
ing when the moles are quite active
or after a rain, particularly a soak
ing one, when they are moving
through the ground looking for
food.
Their presence will be revealed
by the movement of the soil. A
quick jab of the spade or shovel
into the earth behind the mole, a
swift upturning of the spareful of
soil and the animal lies on top of
the ground and should be disposed
of quickly. Since several moles
may be using the same system of
runways, the ridges of earth should
be leveled with the foot, and the
place watched for several days to
see if new working appear.
Moles may be trapped success
fully. If trapping operations are
to be undertaken, the runway sys
tem should be carefully examined
to locate the main tunnel. A trap
set in the main tunnel is more like
ly to make a catch. The runway
should be closed firmly where the
trap is to be placed. If no mole
is caught within a few hours, reset
the trap in another likely main ar-
