Ultra modern in every respect the rooms are sound-proof, have asphalt tile floors and either louvered or bilateral lighting. Each classroom opens onto its own paved outdoor work area, equipped with garden plots and work benches. Exterior design is colorful; utilizing extensive colored slab rock, glass and pastel colored walls, interior furnishing, all in light colored wood, are scaled to the height of first and second graders. Green glass chalk boards are used throughout the rooms, and detachable work tables can be set up around walls in place of tables or desks. Each room has its own heating system.

Mr. Truman said additional anti-sabotage and security legislation is needed because communist imperialism seeks to "weaken and overthrow free nations by working within their borders." So he recommended that Congress: 1. Remedy "defects" in present laws governing "espionage," the registration of foreign agents and the security of national defense installations." 2. Give the Attorney General power to require deportable aliens to report "their whereabouts and activities at regular intervals."

Dawson, dispatcher for the San Diego Transit system, said he saw the flash at 3:45 a.m. "All of a sudden there was light over the entire sky," he said.

Miss Chadwick, who is 31 and a professional swimmer, cut the KOREA AT A GLANCE By the Associated Press SOUTHERN FRONT: Marines and Infantry gather new momentum for first U. N. offensive, start moving under fierce red artillery fire after 10-mile advance toward Chinju. CENTRAL FRONT: Thousands of red troops swam across Naktong river east of Kumchon for grave threat to Taegu, a key to U. S. defenses in the Korean Beachhead, and more reds mass behind them. Red tanks on move. About 30 miles to the south, Americans are ordered to wipe out red bridgehead across the river. Swims Channel In Record Time DOVER, England (AP)—Florence Chadwick, San Diego swimmer, conquered the English Channel today in record time but Shirley May France was forced to give up eight miles off shore. Miss Chadwick, who is 31 and a professional swimmer, cut the women's record set by Gertrude Ederle in 1926. She made it in 13 hours 28 minutes, one hour and three minutes under the Ederle mark. She swam to Dover from Cap Gris Nez, France, on a course of at least 22 miles and scrambled ashore through sea weed. Thousands of persons lined the White Cliffs of Dover. Reporters asked Miss Chadwick if she was all right. "Yes," she said, "but these slippery, jagged rocks are not so good to scramble over after a long swim." Would Swim Back "feel fine and am quite prepared to swim back." When she was only a quarter mile out, she had been asked if she wanted to rest her legs. "No fear," she answered, laughing. "I'll keep going now. It looks only another yard or so to the finish." She actually did not touch dry land, at the end. "A few feet from the shore line, under the 250-foot cliffs, she clambered into one of her rowboats. But no one doubted that she had finished her swim and made it one of the greatest in the history of channel attempts. She was not far short—by channel swim standards—of the recognized men's record of 11:05 set by France's Georges Michel in 1926. Miss Chadwick was the third American woman to make this crossing—19 miles as the crow flies, but actually much farther in swimming distance because of the sweep of tides. The others were Miss Ederle and Mrs. Mille Gade Carson, who crossed in 1926 in 15 hours and 28 minutes. Shirley May France, the 17-year-old girl from Somerset, Mass., had been swimming 13 hours 46 minutes when she gave (Continued on page 5) Army Troubled With Dependents Three Die in Ozark Shooting Spree EMINENCE, Mo., (AP)—Three persons were killed and two others wounded in a wild shooting spree in the Ozarks hill country last night. The gunman fled into a heavily wooded area near this south central Missouri town. The dead include Bill Fansler, about 63, a farmer, his son, Homer L. Fansler, and a four-year-old girl, Barbara Harris. Capt. J. A. Tandy of the State Highway patrol identified the gunman as William Harris, 39, father of the slain child. Officers set up road blocks and began an extensive search of the hills. Captain Tandy said it was possible for a man to elude capture for days in the rugged country. Harris is well acquainted with the Army Troubled With Dependents In Reserve Call WASHINGTON (AP)—The Army is having trouble with its policy of assigning priority to men with no dependents in calling up individual reservists, it was learned today. While there has been no official change of the overall policy announced only last Friday, individual Army area commanders are discovering they must set aside the priority program and bring in reservists purely on the basis of requirements. The difficulty is that only a small percentage of reservists fall in the no-dependent category. To fill out National Guard and reserve units and provide key specialists for expansion of the Regular Army, the Army is beginning to call in men regardless of their dependency status. In announcing last week its intention to summon 62,000 individual reservists during September and October, the Army had said that: "Priority will be determined by the number of dependents of the individual reservists. Those with no dependents will be called up first, those with one dependent, second, and those with more than one dependent, last."
