The Outside World
By FRED DALY
Staff Writer
H-Bomb Potential Increases
The increasing potential power of the H-bomb has cut down the
estimated number necessary for total world destruction, according
to Thomas E. Murray, a member of the Atomic Energy Commission.
Murray has suggested that the United States step up efforts to
develop practical electric power from the atom. In this way, the
government could prove to the world that destruction is not the goal
of the U.S. He suggested, the first plant be built in Japan "the only
land which has been engulfed in the flame of the atom."
Petition Closes Schools
Two public schools in a small Delaware community have been
closed in face of threats of violence if Negro children were allowed
to attend previously all-white classes.
The superintendent of the Milford schools, Dr. Raymond C.
Cobbs, announced the schools would remain closed in the interest
of the safety bf all the children.
The Milford school board called for the resumption of classes,
although they failed to state whether or not eleven Negro children
would be allowed to take up their high school studies. A public
meeting resulted in a 1,000 signature petition calling for the ejection
of the Negro students from the high school.
Nixon Speaks In Omaha
Vice President Richard Nixon declared in a speech in Omaha that
the Eisenhower administration Is rapidly ridding the federal govern
ment of Communists, fellow travelers, and bad security risks.
Nixon charged previous Democratic administrations with under
estimating and ignoring the Communist danger in the United States.
Rearmament Proposal Waits
France's new proposal to rearm West Germany has been given
long and careful scrutiny by her Western Allies. There has been as
yet no official reaction to the plan outlined by French Premier
Mendes-France.
His proposal calls for adding West Germany and Italy to the
five-nation Brussels pact which already includes Britain, France, Bel
gium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg.
Chaplains Prayr Parachute
Fifteen chaplains prayed and parachuted the way to safety Mon

tice in such things as skimming,
adjusting rate to purpose and
comprehension drills.
Mr. Lyle Edmison, director of
the two courses, emphasized that
students with average or abov
average reading speed and comp
rehension would also greatly bene
fit from the course.
EDMISON CITED that reading
difficulties are the basis of most
of the study problems which con
front students. He said slow read
ers are those whose reading speed
Is 150 works per minute instead of
the average of 250 to 300, and
that slow reading does not necev
sarily Ving better comprehension.
He estimated that of the 275 stu
dents who registered for the coursa
last year, their reading speed in
creased as much as 100 to 700
words per minute with no loss in
comprehension.
No later session of the reading
improvement course will be held.
THE STUDY IMPROVEMENT
course is for students who are
primarily interested in improving
their methods of studying. Such
areas as planning time, specific
methods of studying assignments,
