Professor Tells Parents
To Let Junior Loaf
PHILADELPHIA, UR — Children
of the world, unite. You have
nothing to lose but your chores.
So says Professor Dale Harris
of Pennsylvania State University,
who took a verbal swipe yesterday
at a cherished American tradition.
Harris told the National Con
gress of Parents and Teachers
there is absolutely no relation be
tween the number and kind of
chores a child is assigned, and the
sense of- responsiblity he shows
later as an adult.
“Indeed,” he said, “from some
of our data there is a suggestion
that too many urgent and serious
duties, assumed too early, can
have an adverse effect on children.
But what about the many dis
tinguished Americans whose biog
raphies show that heavy respon
siblities in childhood lead to re
sponsibility as an adult?
A lot of guff, says the professor.
“The truth of the matter prob
ably is that for each such person
there is at least another who was
discouraged, held back or even
broken by too much responsiblity
too early. But these men do not
write autobiographies, nor are ac
counts of their lives recorded ex
cept, perhaps, in the police courts
or mental institutions.”

ring in a film.

Off East Coast Resort
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., UR —
Ivan Baluik returned to the So
viet trawler Masalsk today after
nearly a week of medical treat
ment in this resort town.

nician was brought here Saturday
suffering from an acute respira
tory infection and drug sensitivity.
The vessel had come back to
the Coast Guard lifeboat station
this morning to pick him up.
As he got back on deck of the
boat, Baluik was immediately
surrounded by smiling members
of the crew who shook hands with
him and patted him on the back.
The Coast Guard gave the crew
of the trawler 50 boxes of salt
water taffy sent' over by the At
lantic City Chamber of Commerce.

Tokyo Shipping
Meet Sets High
Alaska Rates
SEATTLE, W) — Ocean freight
rates between Japan and Alaska
are higher because of limited vol
ume, port problems and in some
cases extra insurance costs, a
shipping executive said yesterday.
The Trans-Pacifc Freight Con
ference of Japan set the tariffs
for ocean cargo between Japan
and eight Alaskan ports. Gener
ally, they average 30 per cent
higher than on shipments between
Japan and other Pacific Coast
ports.
The Seattle official gave this
account, but withheld use of his
name because headquarters of the
conference are in Tokyo:
The 27-member conference es
tablished the rates to Anchorage,
Cordova, Juneau, Ketchikan, Sew
ard, Sitka, Valdez and Wrangel.
Members of the conference
listed as presently involved or in
terested in Japan-Alaska trade in
clude the Japanese lines of Daido;
Kamasaka; Mitsubishi Shipping
Co. Ltd.; Mitsui Steamship Co.
Ldt.r NYK Line; Nissan Line;
Nitto Line; Osk Line, and Yam
ashita Line. Several American
companies also are listed.
The official listed these factors
as contributing to higher rates:
Cargo volume is limited, with
little cargo returning to Japan
from Alaska.
At some Alaskan ports vessels
are subject to delay because of
tide and dock problems.
So far as American flag lines,
are concerned, Alaska ports are
outside what marine insurance
officials called “Institute Marine
Limits.” Insurance thus costs
more.
A few items, including cement,
are reported moving in the Japan
Alaska trade on “open rates” —j
without a published tariff. This
is because cement is in big de
mand, particularly in the Anchor
age area, and the volome justifies
lower rates.
The official said Alaskan port
authorities “can go to the confer
ence and present their problems
any time they feel they are not
getting sufficient consideration.
But volume of business is the big
factor.”
X-15 Stabilizing Steam
Jets Work ‘with No Sweat!’
EDWARDS AFB, Calif., Ufi —
The rocketship X-15 yesterday
tested for the first time steam
jets designed to keep it from tum
bling end over end as it arcs
through thin air at the edge of
space.
Test pilot Scott Crossfield tried
them briefly as the X-15 was being
carried to 45,000 feet under the
wing of a B-52 bomber.
After being dropped, Crossfield
made a slow climb to 50,000 feet
and cut in the jets for another
test after exhausting his fuel.
He radioed back afterward:
“No sweat” — meaning no trouble.
He landed at 9:17 a.m., after a
flight of nine minutes.
