Shippensburgt Board Revamps School Courses Shippensburg, May 10. A new high school curriculum increasing the number of required subjects ior freshmen was approved by: the Shippensburg School Board at its monthly meeting. Under the new schedule of courses students will not have a wide selection of elective subjects un til their sophomore year. Charles F. Savior, superintendent of schools, and the faculty members feel the change is desirable be cause children entering the fresh men class are in many cases still undecided as to what course of study tkev want to pursue and consequently are unable to make a wise choice or elective sud jects.

When the new curriculum goes into operation in September all freshmen will be required to take English, algebra or general mathematics, civics, science, art, health and physical education industrial arts or home economics and music. The only electives thev will have are Latin and "vocational agriculture. A total of nine courses are of fered to the students: They are stenographic, bookkeeping, gen eral. academic, vocational agri cultural, in dustrial arts, art. music, and vocational home eco nomics.

Other action taken by the school board included the ap proval of a budget for the year 1946 47 snowing total expenai tures of $157,342.50. This is an increase of nearly $20,000 over the estimated expenditures for the current year. Over half of this increase is due to the raise in salaries given to the faculty and school employes. The board accepted the resig nation of two teachers, Hubert Snoke and Mrs. Gladys Gmg rich, and the school, nurse, Mrs Louise Pvchyba.

Mrs. Florence Burkhart was elected school nurse to succeed Mrs. Pychyba. Mr. Savior announced that Dr, I.

C. Keller, head of the English department at California State Teachers College, will be the hieh school commencement speaker this year. The board authorized Mr. Say lor to apply for a federal grant of funds to cover part of the cost of the proposed $250,000 school building program. Will Crown May Queen Miss Louise Singley, a senior from Arendtsville, will be crowned Queen of the May by Mrs.

The celebration will continue with a series of dances that have been developed under the direc tion of Mrs. Mary Bloomfield, physical education director. The traditional Maypole then will be performed by a group of girls from the junior high school.

Lloyd C. Griscom, Ambassador to Rome under President Theo dore recalled in an in terview today that in 1909 while lunching with the royal couple in Italy he mentioned that he was going to retire irom diplomatic service and publish newspapers.

The King, Griscom said, asked jokingly: "If I ever lose my job will you give me one on your newspaper?" Griscom said he replied, "certainly, you can be foreign editor." At this point, the wueen assea "what about me?" "You can be women editor, Griscom answered. Griscom, who owns the Tallahassee Democrat, said the offer still goes. Cabinet Restricts (Continued From Page 1) the British and United States gov ernments had agreed to the hold ins of an earlier plebiscite. Rome's Communist party organ L'Unita charged that the abdica tion had "broken the truce on Monarchy." When the Allies cap tured Rome two years ago the Italian government and crown agreed to a truce on the question of the monarchy pending a voters decision, but a British foreign of fice spokesman in London said re cently the decision to hold the election June 2 was interpreted as ending the period of the truce. Pietro Nenni.

Socialist and vice president of the Constituent As sembly, and Palmiro Togliatti, Communist and Minister Justice, argued that only the con stitutional convention to be elect ed in the June 2 plebiscite on the monarchy has the right to select new king, although Togliatti said a "constitutional fiction would permit Umberto to call himself King Umberto II A Socialist party manifesto termed the abdication "a divert sion to derange orderly prepara tion of the referendum" June 2. A Republican party leader, Ran dolfo Pacciardi, said in an inter view that the abdication would have no effect on what he called the nation's swing toward a re public. Premier Alcide De Gasperi, to whom Vittorio's 17 word abdica tion document was being for warded from Naples, commented only that he was confident the monarchy would abide by the de cisions of the plebiscite and the subsequent constitutional A minister of the Royal House said Umberto would issue a proclamation after today's cabinet session. The 42 year old Crown Prince, who also is lieutenant general of the realm, returned to Rome from Naples, where his father formally renounced the throne yesterday after 46 years as Italy's monarch. The 17 word abdication docu ment, written in the 76 year old King's own steady hand, added Vittorio Emanuele to the long list of unemployed European mon archs.

He and his tall consort, Queen Elena, sailed toward voluntary exile in Egypt aboard the cruiser Duke of Abruzzi. Observers said the renunciation was an eleventh hour effort to trengthen the House of Savoy, under which Italy was unified in 1861 70, for its test with the ad vocates of a republic at the plebiscite three weeks hence. Even the most optimistic monarchists give the monarchy only a 50 50 chance of surviving the plebiscite. For weeks, monarchist circles said, advisers had told the king that by clinging to the throne after his "irrevocable" retirement from public life in June, 1944, he was hurting the monarchy in the eyes of the voters. They told him, these sources said, that because of long acquiescence in the policies of Benito Mussolini Ital ians blamed him for Fascism and its disastrous wars.

Finally, the third Savoy king of unified Italy seated himself at his desk in the study of the Royal Villa in suburban Naples yesterday and penned these words: "I abdicate the crown of Italy in favor of my son Umberto of Savoy, prince of Piedmont." A Naples notary, Commander Nicola Angrisani, attested the king's signature, and two Army officers and royal aides, Gen. Paolo Puntoni and Lt. Col. Brunoro Buzzaccaria, signed as witnesses. They were the only persons present to witness the end of the longest reign of any modern monarch, Then the five foot, three inch monarch, known to Romans half affectionately and half derisively as "Pipetto" (little Pipe), marched into the villa's salon to bid farewell to his weeping household and to Umberto.

A few hours later he sailed into exile with his queen, whose eyesight has been reported affected as a result of the shock of learning of the death of her daughter, Princess Mafalda, in a German concentration camp. Thus ended a reign begun in tragedy, glorified by the idolatry of the Italian people and con eluded in humiliation. Vittorio as cended the throne in 1900 follow ing the assassination of his father, Umberto I in Milan. During the first World War he won the hearts of his people by sharing the hardships of his sore ly pressed soldiers on the Austrian front. Italian historians credit him with the decision to stand at the Piave after the disastrous defeat at Caporetto a decision which brought ultimate victory, Then as Mussolini overshad owed the throne, the King' pres tige shrank until it approached his own diminutive stature and he became the butt of Italian jokes.

After Italy's surrender he relinquished his authority to his son, Umberto, and took no part in Italian affairs. There are about 2000 varieties of soybean grown throughout the world. AFL Opens Parley (Continued From Page by a 13 man advisory committee, including seven who will act as negotiators. Chairman of the' operators' committee is William W. Inglis, president of the Glen Alden Coal Company of Scranton, Pa.

Ralph E. Taggart, president of the Philadelphia Reading' Coal and Iron Company, acted spokesman for the operators. He said the mine owners would" have no comment prior to negotiations With Kennedy were 35 mem bers of the union's scale commit tee. A union scale convention, meet ing April 26 in Hazleton, Pa adopted general contract demands without specifying exact terms. It asked for: 1.

Increased pay and shorter hours. 2. Establishment of a health and welfare fund. 3. Consolidation of "certain existing wage payments into basic rates." 4.

Adjustment of vacation, holi day, overtime and severance com pensation. 5. Improvement of saiety prac tices and compliance with mining, compensation and occupational disease laws. 6. Elimination of "inequities in colliery practices." Increase of efficiency and elimination of the small tyrannies of management." Anthracite miners now draw S8.39 daily for a seven hour five day work week with time and half for overtime, giving them $54.54 for a six day week.

The union adopted the general terms in compliance with union president John L. Lewis suggestion not to tip off operators in ad vance and "allow them to prepare a defense to our request." J. B. Warnner. spokesman for the anthracite operators negotiat ing committee, told a news confer ence yesterday the operators would give "earnest consideration" to the union demands.

"It is our sincere hope that an agreement can be reached with the mine workers without interrup tion of production, he said. Warnner said one third of the industry's employes were contract miners averaging around $85 for a six day week. Thomas J. Kennedy, secretary treasurer of the UMW, will head the union delegation. It was not known whether Lewis would be present.

In a futile attempt to bolster his crumbling campaign he seems to have lost all sense of decency. I have never seen temper and, thwarted ambition make such a fool of a man. "My sole offense seems to be that I interested myself in the grievance of one of my constituents, a business man of established character and high reputation who felt that he was being treated unjustly by the Department of Highways. "I make this reply as a statement of personal and political policy and not because my actions need to be defended. Now or at any other time any citizen of Dauphin county who fails to receive fair or equitable treatment in his dealings with any department in the State government is free to come to me for assistance.

If his case is supported by the facts, I will be only too glad, as the elect ed representative of the people of Dauphin county, to see that his case is properly presented." Dr. Ibach, interviewed at his office today, said: "The question of $12,000 or any other sum in damages was never mentioned in my brief conversation with Sena tor Taylor. All I asked was fair treatment as I saw it." Conductor Killed (Continued From Page 1) railroad reported some east west passenger trains were delayed up to two hours. Before traffic was restored, some passenger trains were detoured over the Bald Eagle branch between Tyrone and Harrisburg. Charles Field, who went to the scene of the wreck with the Mt, Union Fire Company, said the con ductor's body was found under the wreckage and that it had been ere mated in the fire started by the collision.

"The caboose and five boxcars were burned," Field said. "It look ed like the eastbound freight train was standing still when two engines, deadheaded, ploughed into the rear." He said th wreck occurred at the mouth of a cut approximately a mile and a half east of Mt. Union and wrecking crews were clearing the tracks when he left the scene. The freight cars, Field added, appeared to be loaded with tires, novelties and burlap which was still smouldering late in the Both east and west passenger tracks were opened at 9.30 a. m.

The railroad reported some east west passenger trains delayed up to two hours. Mrs. Magil to Speak At Beth El Services Mrs. Reuben J.

in the cnapeu Freight Curbs Delays Scheduled Depot Dosing Reduction in rail freight traf fic as a result of the prolonged coal strike will delay scheduled closing of six specialized depots under supervision of the Middle town Air Technical Service Command, Colonel David R. Stinson, MATSC commander, reported to day. In line with the War Depart ment order to restrict freight shipments to "essential supplies and materials only," surplus ma terial in specialized depots, much of it already sold by the War As sets Corporation, cannot be ship ped until the situation is eased, As a result, buildings which were to have been vacated and returned to civilian owners by th end of May will be retained until the equipment stored them has been moved. This may not take place until some time after the coal strike ends, Colonel Stinson explained, because of the backlog of higher priority freight which is accumulating.

Three times the police in front of the massive stone Mosque, one of the oldest in the world, were forced to retreat under a hail of stones and other missiles. Reinforcements arrived and the polite entered the Mosque and arrested more than 200. Approxi mately 40 of them were injured mostly by police clubs.

Measure Faces (Continued From Page 1) tion of the draft itself, but the present law involves more than that. The Smith Connally act, which empowers the President to seize the strike bound bituminous coai mines if necessary, is an amendment to the draft law and would expire with it May 15 un less Congress votes an extension Many Senate and House mem bers have been clamoring for the President to take over the mines in an attempt to avert a general industrial shutdown. The stop gap bill to keen the draft law and all its amend ments functioning until July still leaves very much on the congressional calendar a longer range measure voted by the House last month. The House approved the draft's extension until next February 15, but banned drafting of 'teen agers and ordered a five month holiday on new inductions.

The Senate, long embroiled over the British loan, has yet to act on Its own version of this measure calling for a full year extension and no "holiday." should it fail to do so before July 1, the draft law would expire on that date under the terms of the stop gap legislation.

Churchill Favors (Continued From Page 1) the most dangerous part of Ger many, and commented: "I would have begun by separat ing Prussia from the rest of Ger many. I would immediately have introduced a milder regime in the rest of Germany and kept strict vigilance on Prussia, which is the most ma lant part of the former Reich." Churchill commented that there were 80,000,000 Germans in the Reich "and we must live with them." He said rearmament must be prevented. "Those industries which make modern war possible must be subject to ceaseless vigilance," he said.

I would wish to see the Germans earning their own liv ing as quickly as possible. We should be foolish to handle our affairs so as to prevent them from earning a living and then take the bread out of our own mouths to feed them" He recalled that the most anxi ous period of the war was at the peak of German Boat successes in 1941 and 1942, but said he never believed the Germans would be able to invade England. Wedding Date Is Set In Romance by Mail Sandisfield, May 10, (IP) A mail order romance was culminated today when Mrs. Celia Ross announced the engagement; of her daughter, Rosalind, to Pfc, Morton Sternovsky of North Long Beach, and said that although the couple have never seen each other they would be married in June. Mrs.

Ross said her daughter and Sternovsky were introduced by mail by a mutaul friend who lives in Torrington, that they exchanged photos by mail, and that the proposal and accept ance and even the setting of the marriage date were by mail. The wedding will take place in North Long Beach. Mrs. Ross said, and the couple will honeymoon in Hawaii. 12 Nazis Leave Spain Under Repatriation Plan Madrid, May 10.

Charles Kreitzer, 611 Reily street, became ill and collapsed at the intersection of Fifth and Reily streets today and was treat ed at! the hospital dispensary President Seen (Continued From Pace 1) top officials sought to formulate a forthright policy on coal wages and prices in order to avoid the inter agency bickering and misunderstandings that occurred during the Government's steel strike negotiations. Stabilzation Director Chester Bowles has concluded, one government official told reporters, that 18 cents is the highest wage increase that could be approved under the present wage price policy. The UMW is demanding a wage boost but has not specified the amount it wants.

In an effort to fix the government's position, Bowles conferred wth Secretary of Interior J. A. Krug, who heads the solid fuels administration, and with W. Wil lard Wirtz, chairman' of the wage stabilization board. With rail transportation already drastically curtailed and other industries hard hit by fuel shortages, National Housing Administrator Wilson S.

Wyatt added another gloomy note. Unless coal production is resumed quickly, Wyatt said, hope of reaching the goal of 2,700,000 homes by 1948 under the veterans' housing program "will wave to be abandoned." "Every day the coal dispute continues, the goals of the housing program are further en dangered," Wyatt said in a statement. "Every day means the loss of desperately needed homes for veterans we are counting on for 194b." Production of such building ma terials as pig iron, used in radiators, bathtubs, sinks and lava tores, he added, "already has been seriously affected." Civilian Production Adminis trator John D. Small called for Government seizure of the idle mines before the country's econ omy is completely paralyzed, but he had no visible effect on the deadlocked negotiations between John L. Lewis and the operators Both camps seemed as much at loggerneads as ever.

The White House likewise let Small's proposal to pass in sil ence. However, President Truman was reported close to a "militant mood and ready to act if the dis putants fail to agree on a settle ment formula he is drafting. On Capitol Hill, Congressional blood pressures pushed the dan ger point as lawmakers threat ened to rip the whole field of labor legislation wide open in an angry new effort to curb major strikes. In both House and Senate advocates of restrictive measures clamored for action on their Spurring factors were the virtual rail freight embargo which went into effect at 12.01 this morning, the accompanying per cent, reduction in passenger service on coal burning lines, and the order for rationing of illuminating gas by utilities with de pleted fuel supplies. There was the threat, too, that strike born shortages in tinplate would cripple canneries, with a resultant spoilage of needed food.

The Office of Defense Trans portation curbs on rail passenger and freight movement, effective today, were expected to have a heavy impact, for they exceed anything ordered in wartime Spokesmen for General Motors and Chrysler said their assembly lines will have to shut down in 10 days as a result. Ford Motor Company already has suspended operations partly on this account and laid off 110,000 employes. Supplementing the rail restric tions, the Post Office banned par cel post shipments of more than 11 pounds in a move to prevent the diversion of small freight items to the mails. Still another crisis born federal order suspended rules requiring radio stations to operate a certain number of hours daily to keep their licenses. The suspension was in the interests of saving electric power.

Small, boss of the Civilian Pro duction Administration, sketched a bleak picture of. industry ap proaching the strangulation stage when he advocated government seizure of the mines. He said 1, 000,000 workers already are idle because of the soft coal strike. Small said the bituminous strike shortly would force the wheels of American industry to "grind to a rude stop. Shortages in tin plate also eventually may lead to food spoilage in fields and canneries he added.

He said he was ready to authorize the rationing of manufactured gas in any area where coal stocks drop below a three week supply. The gas restrictions to be im posed are: 1. Deliveries must be curtailed, proportionately so far as possible, to commercial and industrial users, except those providing certain "essential services" listed in the order such as fire and police stations, hospitals, restaurants, bakeries, dairies and newspapers. 2. Deliveries of gas shall be curtailed even to the "essential" users.

3. After all other cuts have been effected, the gas company must reduce deliveries "to all re maining consumers to the extent and in the manner it deems neces sary and practicable." CPA said it wanted to keep such essential services as cooking refrigeration and hospitals going "as long as possible in the current national crisis caused by the coal strike." Small, in his second report on the effect of the strike, said "this week we are losing about one third of our steel production." "From now oh, the rate of shut down will mount rapidly," he said. "Each succeeding week will mean a greater loss than the week before, with results that will be ieit throughout our economy.

Washington, May 10, (JP) The State Department held up $90, 000,000 in credits for the Polish government today while review inw whether the Poles have failed to meet U. S. conditions. The department would say of ficially only that the credits had not been canceled. However, diplomatic officials disclosed the question has been raised whether Warsaw had met these commitments: 1.

To guarantee free elections, 2. To inform the Polish people of the loan agreements. 3. To exchange with the U. full information on treaties and agreements each nation makes with other governments.

The officials said Washington has been advised the Polish government has not yet told its people anything about the loan or the commitments, nor informed the U. S. of its other outside agree ments specifically, it was pre sumed, with Russia. Under the loan agreements the Poles were to obtain $40,000,000 cash Irom the Export Import Bank and $50,000,000 of credit to buy surplus war goods from the foreign liquidation commission. So far no part of the cash or goods has been delivered.

Senate Speeds (Continued From Page 1) ately to the subject of strike control. Majority Leader Barkley' (Ky) reluctantly acceded to the slam bang procedure. It was evident by mid afternoon that the members were in no mood to be denied a hand at efforts to bring the coal strike to an end and to prevent future work stoppages from interfering with the public welfare and convenience. Senator Lucas (D Ill), himself a sponsor of one far reaching amendment, took note of the Senate's attitude when he told As the result of the obstinacy of John L. Lewis the greatest recalcitrant of them allT labor stands to lose all it has gained in the past 12 or 14 years.

I hope that doesn't happen, but the Senate is in a mood, in view of the mounting tie up of the national economy, to vote any kind of labor legislation." Lucas contended his own plan would not seriously affect, the basic rights of labor. Under his proposal, the Presi dent upon determining that a work stoppage was seriously impairing the public interest would so proclaim and call upon the parties to the dispute to resume work. If they did not do so, the President could seize the property and operate it, under the terms and conditions which prevailed before the stoppage. Officers of the affected labor organization would have a statutory duty to seek 'to induce the men to return to work. Those who did not go back to work would lose their jobs and their rights under the Wagner Labor Relations Act.

Anyone who tried to persuade or coerce another from returning to work would be subject to a year's imprisonment and a $5000 fine. Senator Taft (R Ohio) told the Senate during the labor debate which frequently interrupted consideration of the loan bill he ob jected to suggestions that Congress "has been delinquent" in the coal strike. "It's up to the President," Taft said, adding that the chief executive now has "great powers" under the Smith Connally Act but has "chosen not to exercise them." "We could not pass a more ex treme act," Taft told the Senate as he read sections of the Smith Connally Act prohibiting any strike, coercion, or acts against the Government once it takes over and operates properties such as mines. It was primarily because the Smith Connally Act is an amendment to the draft law that the Senate rushed its stop gap extension of selective service through the Chamber in less than five minutes. Taft said he is "unable to un derstand" why some ask Congress to act in the coal strike when clearly the responsibility for act ing is on the President of the United States.

"Five hundred and thirty one men cant deal with John Lewis," Taft said referring to total membership of the Senate and House.
