MOSCOW. Jan. 18—<>P>—The Rus-
sian public Saturday received its first
eye-witness account of the devastation
wrought by atom bombs dropped on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.
L. Vysokoostr o v s k 1, correspondent
for the magazine New Times report-
ing on visits to both cities, expressed
some doubt as to the bomb's military
significance but stressed that *‘it took
many lives of defenseless people."
“Destruction in Hiroshima was
great." he wrote. “It is difficult, of
course, to pass judgment on the full
military significance of the atom bomb.
But, as a mass destruction weapon, it
really means disaster for the civilian
population. We were graphically con-
vinced of this."
He concluded that “our observations
in Hiroshima and Nagasaki wholly
confirm that the atom bomb is the
Instrument of mass destruction of
human beings. Peace-loving human-
ity's demand that atomic weapons be
outlawed without delay is just."

Youth Cuts Swastika

caused Anthony G. Trabasso. 18, art
student, to cut a swastika and the
word “nazl” on his chest and then
leap to his death from a Brooklyn
rooftop, police said Saturday.
When police first found Trabasso,
sprawled unconscious on the sidewalk
10 doors from his rooming house,
they believed he had been the victim
of an attack, perhaps by fellow stu-
dents.
They were convinced after a thor-

had inflicted the marings on him-
self in a fit of despondency induced
by a persecution complex. The chest
markings, along with the letter “A"

Lunch in Basement
Boys and girls go to their separate
rooms before lunch time to wash their
hands with running water in regular
“city" basins and dry them on sani-
tary paper towels. The girls comb their
hair before a flowered cretonne dress-
ing table with cretonne-ruffled mirror.
Lunch is eaten in the pleasant full-
size basement where yellow curtains
coax the sunshine in through clean
panes of glass. At the present time, the
cafeteria is idle because one cook quit
and another has not been employed.
But if the physical appearance and
equipment of the one-room school
have not.
Alert Teacher Required
Problems such as how to keep the
first graders drawing pictures of char-
acters in that traditional story about
“I can see Bob; Bob can see me," and
mid-graders occupied with their sen-
tence diagrams while the four girls
comprising the seventh and eighth
grades recite about Buffalo Bill’s life
and times. .
It requires an alert teacher.
And that’s just what Mrs. Susan
Adams. 2111 Dorchester, is. She has
been teaching 25 years, nine of those
years in Oklahoma county—rfteven of
them at rural one-room Riverdale
school on W Reno.
It’s her first term at Sunnyside.
Director of Music
Also, it helps if teacher can play
the piano for general assembly sing-
ing and sing while directing with
movements of her head, all at the
same time and while facing the pupils.
Mrs. Adams can do this too.
(Already in possession of an AB de-
gree from Oklahoma City University,
Mrs. Adams is going to night school
and Saturday classes to earn 18 hours'
credit in public school music this
school year.)
What might be the hardest chore of
all is the sudden changes of thought,
vocabulary and facial expression re-
quired to successfully answer questions
made by the different ages and classi-
fications of pupils.
Must Be Psychologist
9M
Twenty boys and girls ranging from the first through the eighth grade attend Sunnyside school on NE 63, four and
one-half miles east of Eastern—one of Oklahoma county’s 15 one-room schools. (Two pupils were absent when the pic-
ture was made-) Older pupils are in row at left; two first-graders sit at far right. Mrs. Susan Adams, 2111 Dorches-
ter drive, teacher, is talking with pupils near back of room (right). Each pupil has an individual desk with place for
books below the seat. Mrs. Adams has been teaching 25 years and is a firm believer in the quality of rural education.

"There are certain respon-
sibilities to going steady that

Alvin!”
Without breaking stride, Mrs. Adams
answers the questions. When she asks .
a question, there’s an undeniable ex-
pression of “I believe you can answer I
it” in her pleasant face.
A teacher needs to be a psychologist ■
too.

Act Clears Picture
This country for a long time was in
that same kind of position. The con-
stitution didn't say what to do if a
president-elect died.
But that gap—which might some
day have caused dangerous confusion
—was cleared up in 1933 when the
twentieth amendment to the constitu-
tion was approved.
This amendment says that if a pres- J
ident-elect dies before he can take
office, then the vice-president-elect
will become president.

dent at the time of Pres. Roosevelt s
death in office, became president That

Truman Bans
CIO at World
|Oil Parley
WASHINGTON. Jan. 18—(UP) —
Representatives of CIO and indepen-
dent oil unions will' not be among
delegates at an international confer-
ence on oil industry problems which
starts in Los Angeles February 3, offi-
cials said Saturday. ’
A list of proposed delegates sub-
mitted to Pres. Truman contains only
AFL names, it was learned. Mr. Tru-
man will formally appoint the dele-
gates in a week or 10 days.
The CIO oil workers’ union, largest
in the U. S. oil industry, will not be
represented because CIO officials are
refusing to participate in activities of
the international labor organizations
until and unless Pres. Truman grants
the CIO equal representation with the
AFL.
The AFL now has exclusive right to
represent U. 8. labor at ILO confer- |
ences like the one scheduled at Los
Angeles.
Officials had no explanation for
omission of representatives of inde-
pendent unions. These unions have
been demanding representation on a
par with the CIO and AFL in both
national and International labor agen-
cies.
This nation’s labor delegates at Los
Angeles will be drawn from the In-
ternational Union of Operating Engi-
neers (AFL).
Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach
had recommended to the president
that U. 8. labor representation in the
ILO be rotated between the AFL and
CIO. The AFL opposed the recom-
mendation and brought strong pres-
sure on Secretary of State James F.
Bymes through Sens. Tom Connally
(D., Texas) and Arthur H. Vandenberg
(R., Mich.) to block Schwellenbach’s
proposal and Mr. Truman acceded to
the AFL demand that it continue as
the exclusive representative of Amer-
| lean labor in ILO.
At the conference will be employer,
labor and government delegates from
Canada, Colombia, Egypt. France, the
United Kingdom. Iraq. Iran, Mexico,
Netherlands, Peru and Venezuela.
Delegates will discuss working con-
ditions, employment prospects, wages
and improvements of labor standards
in the industry.

The one-room school building is still with us, but its primitive
early-day accouterments are gone forever. It has taken on all
the sheen of a well-polished city school, all the conveniences of a
city apartment.
Oklahoma county, alon^, has 15 one-room schools.
This means 15 teachers go forth every morning to teach a
bunch of youngsters in eight different grades how to read, diagram
a sentence, work algebra problems and make clay projects portray-
ing a dyked-in field in Holland.
And, certainly not incidentally, keep a semblance of order at
the same time.
Sunnyside N<k 36 (there’s another Sunnyside—No. 20—in the
county), a neat red brick school on NE 63, four and one-half miles
east of Eastern, is a shining example of what a one-room ^school
