Scottish T.U.C. votes solidly for nationalisation Sharp attacks on some Labour leaders TEACHERS ATTACK PRESS, TV, AND CINEMA Battle for the child's mind By our own Reporter comics, now it must try to rouse public opinion to the bad effect of these films upon young people.

On the press, Miss Stewart said she did not intend to give free publicity to any particular newspaper but as a conference they must welcome heartily the work of the Press Council in dealing with three newspapers in the past few weeks. Some believed that Westerns did harm. She did not think they were a source of much danger. The weapons used in them could not come into the hands of young people and they knew right would triumph in the end. The alisation instead of giving the people of this country the true facts Mr Abe Moffat, president, of the Scottish area of the National Union of Mineworkers.

said There are certain leaders in our Labour movement who are just as much against nationalisation as the Tories of this country. We have leaders in our movement who have made public statements that nationalisation was responsible for a loss of votes in the last general election. 1 want to say that the quicker these people leave the Labour movement and join their real friends, the Tories, the better it will be for the Labour and trade union movement." Mr G. Scott, of the Electrical Trades Union, said that in the last election they had seen the sorry spectacle of Labour leaders angrily denying Tory propaganda that Labour intended to nationalise 500 firms. If we had a little less of this furious respectability and elder statesmanship the public would not have the impression that public ownership is something which is undesirable." Only three delegates voted against' the motion.

Mr James Milne, the president of the congress, spoke of events in South Africa and was loudly applauded when he condemned as hypocritical the British Government's attitude to them. He demanded the exclusion of Dr Verwoerd from the Commonwealth Prime Ministers conference and an extension of the boycott of South African goods. A motion calling on the next Labour government to support nationalisation of the basic industries was approved by an overwhelming majority at the annual conference of the Scottish Trades Union Congress which opened in Perth yesterday. The motion, which was passed at the end of a debate lasting more than an hour, re-affirms the congress's policy on nationalisation and calls on the Labour party to publicise and popularise this fundamental principle in every possible way. Mr Alex Kitson, secretary of the Scottish Horse and Motormen's Association, who moved it, said If we have to save the principles for which the trade union movement has been fighting for so lone to establish that is.

to control the means of production and the wealth provided by the efforts of the workers we will have to express ourselves strongly on this resolution. It has been discovered during the last two or three years that there are people in the movement who are prepared to ditch public ownership from the long-established principles of the Labour movement. Their decision is based on the fact that we lost the last election because of this question of nationalisation. This of course is sheer rubbish, as nationalisation was not one of the main proposals in the programme. It is my union's belief that too many academic people in our movement are running around apologising for nation OXFORD The following class list has been issued at Oxford IIO.NO Lt MODERATIONS IN GREEK ASD LATIN LITtKATUKE CLASS 1.

At the Conferences- CHILDREN BEING "CHEATED9' Right to education Britain's challenge of the times lay in improvement of education, said Mr A. L. Jones, president, at the National Association of Schoolmasters' annual conference which opened at Hastings yesterday. The nation's children were being cheated of the education which was their right, he declared.

Teachers and parents must shoulder their responsibilities, and politicians must honour their pledges. In this great land of ours everv child has the right to an education been fitted to his age. his ability, and his aptitude not an education which finished at a predetermined age. confines his ability witihin predetermined limits, and channels aotitude along predetermined To-day, were still being taught in buildings blacklisted more than a generation ago: thousands were still being herded in classes of 40, 50, and sometimes 60 unqualified, untrained men and women were still being passed off as teachers and the statutory school leaving age was still no higher than that fixed in 1918. Desperate shifts Schools were forcer? to rlpsrvor-oto shifts and stratagems" in order to cope with recurrent staff shortages, said Mr Jones.

"We should expose, too, the fo'Jy of still making no special educational provision for the growing number of lo-year-olds who will fail to secure work when they leave our schools in the immediate future. No one can begin to estimate the ultimate effect of the disillusion and despair which must corrode young minds with the realism that society has no function for them to perform and no interest in their future." Mr Jones added that the Association's salary scale of 750 to 1.400 would go far to secure buoyant recruitment of high-quality men. He had no objection to equal pay in the profession at a man's rate, but the present equal pay had brought no real increase to women teachers while bringing real loss to the men. On the question of salaries, the National Union of Teachers had sought to destroy the Association for nearly forty years." Mr Jones, who lives at Liverpool, was inducted president at the conference in succession to Mr A Thomson. The conference adjourned until to-day.

FILM INQUIRY BY MR WILSON Effect of TV on industry The Federation of Film Unions announced last night that it had invited Mr Harold Wilson, M.P., to conduct an inquiry into the present economic position of the film industry. The inquiry would include those aspects of the television industry which affect film production and the employment of members of the constituent unions of the federation. Mr Wilson expects to submit an interim report before the end of the year and to spend more time on the problems disclosed over the next year or two. There was a complete dichotomy between the morality of the schools and the morality of the community into which the young people went, said Mr E. L.

Britton at yesterday's session of the annual conference of the National Union of Teachers at Blackpool. He was seconding an executive motion urging a determined effort to counteract the debasement of standards resulting from the misuse of the press, radio, cinema, and television, the deliberate exploitation of violence and sex, and the calculated appeal to self-interest. It called on those who used and controlled the media of mass communication and upon parents to support the efforts of teachers in an attempt to prevent the conflict which too often arose between the values of the classroom and those of the outside world. Mr Britton said the schools taught children to work hard and give of their best. When they got out into the world they found a morality of Do as little as you can, knock off quick, go slower." The schools taught a morality of allegiance to the community, the world one of I'm all right.

Jack." The schools taught a careful distinction between truth and falsehood, teachers leaned over backwards to keep false colour out of their lessons. In the world, the whole of advertisement was directed to misleading people to induce them to spend their money. Never before had young people had to face this duality of standards, yet the schools were blamed for increase in juvenile delinquency. An appeal There was applause when Mr Britton said "The moral standards of a nation and the standards of its behaviour are not the sole respons.bilitv of the schools. Thev are the responsibilitv also of the mass means of communication and we ask the responsible element among those who control them to co-operate with us in producing what we know is potentially the finest generation this country has ever known" Miss M.

A. Stewart, who proposed the motion, said it used to be thought that poverty and bad housing were the causes of delinquency, but to-day, though poverty had been virtually abolished, delinquency figures were growing. Sweden, whose standard of living was higher than that of this country, had an even graver problem. The reason was that to-day young people were looked upon as earners and consumers. In 1938 the average wage for a boy was 2fis a week and for a girl 24s a week.

Two years ago the respective figures were 5 12s and 5 6s-. The custom of handing over their wages to their mothers and being handed back a few shillings for pocket money had almost disappeared except in some areas of the North. These young earners were the object of propaganda by the press, television, posters, and shops, to induce them to spend their money. They spent between one-sixth and one-third on clothing, one quarter on drinks, cigarettes, and sweets, the rest of gramophone records, bicycles, motor-cycles, cinemas, and dancing. Why did they so spend it when the schools had the educational standards they had The reason was the predictability of boredom for these young people.

There was no challenge for them in their work in many cases and they looked for challenge and adventure in the world beyond their work. Television v. cinema Among some young people there seemed to be an idea that it was all right to take other people's property. The only crime was to be found out, and that might was right, and that differences of opinion could be settled by coming to blows. For this he believed the press, television, and films had some responsibility.

Television had been a challenge to the cinema and the cinema had met it by producing in recent years a larger number of films gaining an certificate. In 1051. of 631 films only 5 per cent were given an certificate. In 1959, of 48G films 16 per cent were given an certificate. At the same time the average age of cinema audiences had steadily decreased.

Some years ago the N.U.T. had had a successful campaign against horror CLASS LIST N. p. J. Feltowea, Unci c.

Hair health and hllr lieknesi ii -x HUDSON'S of MANCHESTER BiUblishrJ 1160 30 CORPORATION STREET SLA 61 SI A girl's first Schools can help By our own Women teachers were asked yesterday if they were doing enough to ease the transition between a girl's last year at school and her first year at work. The question came from Mr J. K. Elliot, chief education officer of Manchester, when he welcomed delegates to the annual conference of the National Union of Women Teachers, at Buxton.

He said that twice a year, at Christmas and Easter, he was saddened to see young girls who had just left school, going to their first jobs in city offices and shops. "Their handbags aire too big: their heels are too high their make-up is all wron. and they have hair styles which won't' fit their hats. I often wonder whether women teachers have accepted that, rightly or wrongly, clothes are of the greatest interest to women." If schools had turned a blind eye to the job of fitting girls for their first year at work, then it was urgent that they should consider what to do with the unwilling, reluctant 15-year-old schoolgirls when the leaving age was raised to 16. He discarded high falutin theories in thinking about the raising of the leaving age.

He had applied a simpler test the thought of his own daughters (he has two, aged 13 and 18) going out into the world at 15 made him "shudder and recoil." Teachers' opposition Mr Elliot said It was discouraging to find that teachers were opposed to raising the leaving age, and he wondered if this was because people working in education did not know what to do with the not very bright, not very able, the remarkably unwilling" 15-year-old. Under the present system, the more able children had been taken forward it was now necessary to solve the problem of what to do with the children of 15 who did not like school but would be forced to stay another year. It was a problem which could only be solved by teachers not in university departments of education, or in teachers' training colleges. Finally, Mr Elliot dealt with grammar school girls and the universities. It had become commonplace for boys to accept a third year in sixth form to get into a university.

Girls were less willing to do this. They were marrying younger, and teachers should be interested in seeing that as many girls as possible became professional women, without spending too long on the process. It is no use advising girls that they BROOKLANDS OF BOND STREET LIMITED London Distributors ASTON MARTIN LACONDA ALVIS MECEDES-BENZ VOLVO Offer from itack 50 HIGH GRADE CARS NEW ALVIS 3-litre Drophcad Coupe NEW M.C.

You are practically asking them to scrap their trainu-n; and marry before it is completed This seems to be one of the injustices of this pursuit for equality and parity' A former president of the union, Alderman Miss A. A Kenyon, of Oldham, criticised the Church of England for keeping the door closed on the admission of women to the priesthood. She said it was and she doubted whether it would even be opened a chink during the next 25 years. She claimed that there was still rampant inequality" in education.

In many cases, education committees preferred to give the headship of a mixed school to an indifferent man, rather than the better woman." There was inequality, too, in the opportunities at school for boys and girls. Girls were being deprived of many interesting courses for which they had ability and aptitude, and were fobbed off with domestic science. Other side of the coin The new president of the union. Miss J. M.

Collins, welcomed the renewed vigour and belief in the value of education. The other side of the teenage coin was the tendency to stay on in sixth forms, the growing demand for fifth-form courses in secondary schools, the crowded evening institutes, and the unprecedented demand for university places. More public examinations were being taken in the secondary modern schools. The system had many advantages, but it also had dangers, particularly in attempting the G.C.E. For example, it was difficult to see how a group of O-level candidates could emerge from a much larger group of border-line children without affecting the curriculum of a large part of the school.

There was a danger, too. that the real educational purpose of the secondary modern school might be lost in the drive for G.C.E. successes. Welcoming the Crowther Report, Mips Collins said there was no sound reason why the full four-year course in secondary schools should not be made compulsory immediately. She had misgivings about the suggestion that certain children should be exempted from remaining until 16.

provided that the local education authorities approved their jobs. Past experience had shown that it was all too easy to avoid remaining at school, and any proposed system of exemptions needed close examination. She said that it was disturbing to read in the report such passages as the prospect of courtship and marriage should rightly influence the education of the adolescent girl." Insidious campaign Miss Collins spoke of insidious campaigning against the policy of equal pay, which sought to increase men's salaries by nourishing the belief that men with families should be given sympathetic consideration when applying for headships, posts with special responsibility, or country schools with a house attached. The man may be the best person for the job. but he may not, and to suggest that he regards his wife and family as a burden which his employer should help him to bear is an insult to all professional men." Miss Collins said that education must be made ready to meet the challenge of the school-leaving age.

Schools were pitifully unprepared when the leaving age was raised to 15. The conference continues to-day.

Mr F. L.

Thome, of Bridlington, suggested that to counteract the debasing of standards resulting from "rags like this" (here he waved a copy of the "Daily the executive should set up a small committee to collate all the examples from the popular press, television (particularly ITV), and films so that they could make direct representations to the Press Council and other bodies concerned. Mr Thome added that he was not as happy as the first speaker about the activities of the Press Council in recent years. It had a lot to answer for in problems it had failed to deal with. Mr H. W.

Owen, of Brentwood, said teachers in this matter were the conscience of the nation. They were tne front-line fighters in the battle now being waged for tne minds and souls of young people against the wide boys and tne gimmick men. He believed the youngsters of to-day were "all right" but were not being given a square deal. He contrasted those he had seen walking and climbing in the Lakes during a week-end coach trip with those he had seen on Blackpool's South Shore. How pathetic it was that the latter should be presented with what the Germans called a kitsch culture.

The motion was carried unanimously. The continued debate on salaries revealed a difference of emphasis rather than opinion. The motion proposed by Port Talbot and seconded by the Rhondda, which had the backing of the executive, called for a basic scale of at least 600 to 1,200 with a reduced incremental period and held that until that was gained no part of the award should be devoted to increasing the present differentials. An amendment from Middlesex Secondary wanted the Teachers' Panel to negotiate exclusively on the basic scale. This was conclusively defeated and the motion was carried.

The conference also adopted a resolution moved by Deptford and Greenwich, eenninrfpH hv rjTlf(nn rwnon ine the immediate reopening of negotiations with the Government and the local education authorities for the provision of an adequate widows' and orphans' pension scheme on terms no less favourable than those of the Civil Service scheme. Supply of teachers Speaking on the supply of teachers at a meeting of representatives of local education authorities held in the afternoon. Mr L. Russell, chief education officer for Birmingham, said the number of teachers in maintained prhmarv and secondary schools to-day was about 270.0001 Merely to carry out the present policv of reducing the size of classes to an average of 30 in primary schools and a teacher-pupil ratio of one to sixteen in secondary schools would require a total figure of 342.000 in 1970 when the numbers of children in the schools would be increased. The supplv on present calculations would be about 332.000, so an increase In training college programmes would be called for.

Would the students be forthcoming? A few years ago training college principals were having the greatest difficulty in filling their places with properly qualified students. It would be a fatal error to be misled by that oast experience. The majoritv of training cotlege students came from the sixth forms of secondary schools and the age grouos from which thev were drawn would reach a maximum of 44 per cent above the 1955 level in 19S5. fall back to 12 per cent above in 1970. and rise again to 22 per cent above in 1975.

Allowing both for the birth rate and the trend towards a longer school life the demand for places in institution? of h'gher education was likelv to be about 100 per cent higher in 1966 than it was in 1960 The problem would be not to find the students but to find the places for deserving students Mr Ruissell suggested that in future about one-third of the places available for the teacher training of graduates should be In the training colleees rather in tiniversi'tv departments of education The conference was adjourned until to-dav. Mr Tom Crimes Mr Tom Crimes, secretary of the Manchester branch of the National Union of Journalists from 1920 to 1947, has died in St Michael's Hospital, Hayle, Cornwall, at the age of 80. Mr Crimes had been a member of the N.UJ. since 1907, the year of its formation, and was made a life and honorary member on his retirement. He joined the staff of the Co-operative News in Manchester in 1894 and was assistant editor in 1944 when he retired.

He remained active in journalism during his retirement in St Ives and wrote a regular monthly article for the Co-operative Official." the monthly organ of the National Union of Co-operative Oniciaiis A former colleague writes The only noticeable things about Tom Crimes were his name and his bald head, which, by the end of summer, shone like an unripe chestnut. A journalistic wag. unable to decipher the first initial of his signature, once called him "Nameless Crimes." and it was the sort of joke apt to be made about this small, self-effacing, unambitious man who spent all his working life in one rather small office, and had not it in him to achieve leadership. Yet Tom Crimes's capacity for faithful, unrlagging service and personal Ioyaltv was humbling. During the years he" was secretary of the Manchester branch of the N.U.J, the membership grew from a handful to many hundreds, and for a quarter of a century he coped with the minutes, the correspondence, the meeting arrangements, the resolutions, without paid help.

His lunch hour at the Co-operative Press was sacred to tne N.U.J. colleagues, from the messengers upwards, found themselves enrolled as helpers he sat surrounded by union files. Many a journalist now nationallv known has tramped up and down the stairs to hts office to go througn correspondence with him and dictate a stream of letters which Tom would faithfully transcribe at home. It was said of him affectionately by his union colleagues rhat he never composed a letter except a condolence and never made a speech except his annual tribute, in careful. prose, to the outgoing chairman.

Very little is known about his personal life except that he was a fanatic Pathan tribal chieftain, that he sported a red beard, and had doggedly fought the British ever since he was twenty.

The British put a price on his head and vainly tried to smoke him out of his mountain caves with bullets and bombs. He wielded cons.derab'.e influence among the tribal nomads of inaccessible rugged Wazir-stan. but ever since the erea.uon of Pakistan his influence was comparatively on the wane tihough never completely- wiped out. Dunne the Second War the Fakir of Ipi captured more of the limelight by establishing contact with Nazi Germany Armed with German supplies he carried out some harassing raids into British Indian territory. A clandestine transmitter identifying itself as Radio Waziristan used to broadcast anti-British bulletins and "holy war" appeals in his name.

During the 1920s his followers unleashed a nieivt of terror inside the walled and well-guarded Barmu by organ-sin a surjyr.se raid and ar.d kidnapping Hindu citizens. A number of other raids on smaller cantonmen-s like Miranshah. Manzai. and Tank in the Waziristan area were credited to his uncanr.y knack for organising hit-and-run warfare. A number of punitive expeditions organised by the British never quite succeeded in destroying the persistent menace as personified by the Fakir of Ipi.
