Everybody Out for Sabin Oral Sunday EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK Ignorance Has Not Been Bliss By JONES OSBORN During the first World War, it was considered unpatriotic to teach or study the German language. And only a dozen years ago, the study of communism in public schools was likewise taboo. It was widely thought that to teach ABOUT communism was somehow the same as ADVOCATING communism. Today, we are rational on the subject. After all, it is only common sense to find out what communism is all about.

Americans and others of the free world can be ex- liected to combat the challenge from communism with more intell- gence if they know the basic facts about the system, the principles, the methods. Thai is why such organizations as the American Legion and the American Bar Association which formerly opposed instruction about communism in the schools are now working to promote such instruction. The Library of Congress made a poll in 1959. Only 55 cities responded. II seems that half-year courses aboul communism were being taught in only two cities.

In 22 other cilies, two or three weeks was devoted to the topic as a part of other courses. 15c THE SUNDAY Color Comics Magazine Section Latest News YUMA SUN--VOL. 58--NO. 101 42 PAGES YUMA, ARIZONA, SUNDAY, APRIL 79, 1962 PHONE SU 3-3333 ARIZONA SENTINEL--VOL. 97--NO.

Louisiana courses. requires six-week New York authorizes high school scourses. But because of the tradition of local-control-of. schools, -not many legislatures are likely to require teaching about communism.

State action usually takes the form chiefly of recommendation and encouragement. We've a long ways to go, however, before instruction in public schools reaches a level of respectable effectiveness. There are many problems involved. For one thing, the subject is sli touchy. Special pressure groups frequently want to install courses of instruction that are long on emotionalism but short on facts.

The chief handicap is a lack of teachers trained to teach the subject and the lack of suitable textbooks for teacher guidance and pupil study, both of which take time to prepare. Although a wealth of material on communism and communist countries is available there are said to be virtually no textbooks suitable for classroom use- One would think that any force as great as communism, challenging the whole Western concept of self-government and the importance of individual freedom, would have received more attention from the education profession in 40-odd years. But to teach about communism was, for years, taboo. And now we are paying the price for that fear. One Killed, 11 Hurt in Riot of LA.

A plan to provide low-cost housing in a planned community for squatters who may be evicted from federal lands along the Colorado River ran into a snag Friday. The proposal was made by Albert Romeo, administrator of the Land'Use Office here, to the State Welfare Board with Ihe suggestion that Hie community be built with welfare funds. Welfare Commissioner Fen Hil- dretii rejected the proposal at a board meeting with the unanimous backing of the board members. Romeo said yesterday that the proposal was "just a suggestion," and that "the Land Use Office is exploring ways to handle the problem of evicted squatters who have low incomes when it arises." No Evictions Planned "There are no plans to evict squatters from federal along the river immediately or' hi- 1 the near future," Romeo said.

The proposal, that an area, of Yuma be acquired and out with sanitation arid other service facilities in trailer, spaces, Low income families could' then rent spaces for a nominal amount per month. Romeo said it was 'believed that surplus army'trailers could be acquired to place on the lots. Romeo said no particular site had been selected. He said the proposal was aimed at those families whose income averaged 550 to 65 per'month, who would find it difficult'to get'along without additional help' from welfare funds. Idea He said Ihe idea was orginated by the Land Use Office and discussed with California, Arizona and U.S.

Department of Health; Welfare and Education representatives at a meeting at the Land Use Office last week. Romeo said he did not believe such an area could be found on the river itself. The pressure of the public for the land to use for recreational iwrposes would preclude such a use, he said.

Court Holds Unit Setup Is Unfair ATLANTA (UPD--A three-judge federal panel a a threw Georgia's election system into a tailspin by ruling that both an old and the revised unit systems of voting are unfair and cannot be used.

Georgia's General Assembly, meeting in an emergency approved the revised system only Friday. The three-judge panel specifically issued an injunction banning future elections under the old or revised systems. The ruling will apply to the Sept. 12 Democratic primary. In strongly Democratic Georgia, the general elections are run on a popular vote basis, but the Democratic primaries--where the the elections are actually decided are conducted under the unit system.

The unit syslem, in turn, tied in wilh, legisjafive ap- Under this setup the state-'s eight most populous are assigned three house' members, the next 30 get two and the remaining 121 receive-)one. Two unit votes are assigned to counties for' each house member. In the Democratic primary, candidates with a simple majority of a county's popular votes, gets all its unit votes. Thus under this system a candidate be it for slate or national office--who could win the unit votes in the 121 small counties would have 242 units! And he could lose every one of the 38 remainng counties which contain by far the majority of the state's population. James O'Hear Sanders, an Atlanta taxpayer who claimed he was "only.

53 per cent of a man" at the. polls, filed the suit that was decided in federal court Saturday. The legislature, anticipating federal interference in view of the recent U. S. Supreme Court ruling holding that federal courts could decide veapporlionment a tried to head off the action during ils recent special session.

It added 137 units, and spread them around among Ihe larger counties, hut this failed to satisfy the court.

Sioanc said. The cost is expected to run approximately $200,000 or more. The rising interest of bowling in ihe Yuma area and the new free instruction classes at Hunt's have practically forced the expansion. Recently. Hunt's hired Don Lylle from Phoenix to take over the managership ot Hunt's.

Lytle has set up new instruction courses and the rush to the lanes has been tremendous. With the success of the instruction courses, it has become impossible to handle the entire wealth of Yuma bowlers on 16 alleys. At this time, there is league bowling at Hunt's every night of the week except Sunday. When the new- tones are built, there are enough bowlers, new and old. to take care of the use of them in another full week's schedule of league play.

But, with the opening of the new lanes, comes more chances for people who are not league bowlers to use the alleys. There arc currently two free instruction clinics at Hunt's. The ladies clinic is every Wednesday morning at 9:30 m. There is. a nursery service provided.
