Child's Poor Reading
Breeds Delinquency,
Teachers Warned
A child whose reading difficulties
aren't straightened out may wind up
as a juvenile delinquent or have
trouble getting along in the world.
This warning came yesterday from
Dr. Stella S. Center, head of New
York University's Reading Clinic, at
a meeting of teachers at the May·
Bower Hotel.
Children are constantly being put
in situations where they fail because
they cannot read as well as they are
•xpected to. Dr. Center said. This
not only discourages a child but
hurts his chances for intellectual
growth, she said.
"I won't let parents tell me a
child is lazy and won't pay atten
tion. "Dr. Center declared. "That
is a lazy diagnosis."
Urges Cause Be Found.
Behind a child's reading difficul
ties, she said, may be faulty teach
ing, some psychological problem or
a physical defect.
Even thumb-sucking may slow a
child's ability to read. Dr. Center
pointed out that if the child's
mouth is malformed from thumb
sucking, he may develop a speech
defect which interferes with his
ability to link sounds to printed
words.
Dr. Center favored reading direc
tors in public schools just as there
are physical education directors.
She also proposed that reading be
taught in the first and possibly
even the second year of college.
Miss Elva Knight, reading direc
tor of the Beaver Country Day
School, Chestnut Hill, Mass., and
acting director of the educational
clinic at Smith College, presented
ngures το snow now a scientific
reading program can improve the
reading ability of students.
Machine Tests Reading Ability.
The teachers watched a demon
stration of a machine which tests
reading ability by flashing words
and phrases on a screen for frac
tions of a second. It is one of the
tests used to determine how fast a
person can recognize and digest the
words he sees.
At a luncheon, the teachers dis
cussed organization of a National
Association of Remedial Teachers.
The group favqred starting a small
regional system, pending a meeting
with the Educational Records Bu
reau in New York next fall.
Mrs. Marion Kingsbury, director
of the Remedial Education Center
which sponsored the meeting, pre
sided.
Rieve Says Labor Curbs
Imperil Free Enterprise
By the Associaled Press
BOSTON. May 3.—Emil Rieve,
general president of the CIO Tex
tile Workers Ufiion, asserting that
Congress is "out to destroy organ
ized labor," predicted tonight that
if it succeeds "labor will be forced
to advocate Government ownership
of American productive industry."
"I have believed that free enter
prise could be made to work if the
free enterprisers could be made to
see the logic of reasonable controls,"
Mr. Rieve said in addressing a Bos
ton City Club audience.
"But * * * if political and eco
nomic slavery aa represented by the
Taft-Hartley proposals are to be
the workers' share of free enterprise
—then I must dissent from free en
terprise and seek another course.
"I cannot defend the jurisdic
tional strike and I see no reason
why it should not be outlawed," he
said. "I cannot defend the sec
ondary boycott.
"I do not believe refusal to make j
public a union's financial statement
is defensible today and I think Con
gress should require it. I would
only urge that if publication of
financial reports by labor unions is
required by law. detailed financial,
reports by industry and business
also be required. That seems to me ;
to be only fair."
British Miners Are Urged
To Protect 5-Day Week
ly »h· Associated Pf«l
LONDON, May 3.—Britain's coal
miners were told by government
leaders and trade union chiefs today
to protect their newly won five-day
wort week by increasing production
and refraining from "unauthorized"
strikes.
The five-day week, goal of the
miners for, nearly a century, goes
into effect Monday—with many in
this coal-short nation frankly fear
ful that shorter working hours may
bring a repetition of last winter's
fuel crisis in which thousands of
factories were forced to close.
Lord Hyndley, chairman of the
National Coal Board that operates
Britain's nationalized mines, said
in a broadcast, "There must be an
end to unofficial strikes—they injure
everybody and bring credit to none.
We must learn to work our agreed
conciliation machinery in fullest
confidence."
Arthur Horner. Communist gen
eral secretary of the National Union
of Mineworkers, warned against
"unconstitutional action" and told
miners "we urge you not to betray
the government or the coel board."
Under the new five-day, 37 H
hours week order, miners will get
their usual six-day pay providing
they work five full days.
Hoy Fever Victims Aided
New Ygrk City, in a six-week
campaign against ragweed, sprayed
3,000 acres with 850,000 gallons of a
killer solution, with a total coet
of $33.000.
Panama Canal Society
Hears Delay Urged in
Enlarging Ocean Link
Outlining two proposals for ex
pansion of the Panama Canal—one
of them for a sea-level route
Representative Bradley, Republican,
of California last night told the
Panama Canal Society he favored
postponing any extensive modifica
tions.
Mr. Bradley addressed the first na
tional dinner of the society on the
eve of the 43d anniversary of the
United States occupation of the
Canal Zone. May 4, 1904. It also
was the 12th annual dinner pf Wash
ington's Panama Canal Society.
Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth
was guest of honor at the dinner at
the Broadmoor Hotel which paid
tribute to her father, Theodore
Roosevelt, as the force behind the
canal's construction. The organiza
tion is made up of people who worked
in Panama on construction of the
canal, and who have been employed
Since by canal authorities. Guests
included Maj. Gen. Joseph C.
Mehaffy, governor of the Panama
Canal.
Representative Bradley told lisl
eners he favored the plan sponsored
by Navy Capt. Miles P. Duval for
improvement of the canal by sub- i
stituting two sets of locks for the
three sets how in use.
He proposed postponement of
such work, however, to deter infla
tion and because "a reservoir of
! work might be built up for a time :
of depression by holding off the
vast expenditures needed to recon
struct the canal during current
years." He estimated the cost of
from one billion to two and one
half billion dollars.
The present canal, he pointed out,
can' handle all but the largest ves-1
sels afloat, and "it is difficult to
conceive of any international situa
tion wherein it would be vitally
necessary to get those, few warships
which are too big into another ocean j
with such haste they could not
make 4 t^e trip around South,
America."
However, he did not completely !
discard the idea that weapons such j
as the atomic bomb might make a!
sea-level canal advisable.

Airline Radar is Here!
fAr. Hughes' statement follows:
"This radar instrument warns the pilot
(by a brilliant red light and a warning horn)
the instant the airplane comes too close to
the ground or any building, bridge, mountain,
airplane, or other obstacle, regardless of dark
ness or weather condition».
"I believe it will be of great assistance in
our efforts to eliminate the type of accident
which received so much publicity last yew.
"For that reason, I am now installing this
equipment on all TWA airplanes, and I intend
to make it available as soon as possible, with
out profit, to all airlines throughout the
United States."
