Canadian Army
Enlistments Drop to
Lowest Since 1951
OTTAWA, OP—Canada’s army
has dropped to 46,684 men—the
lowest number since 1951.
With no draft, Canada depends
on volunteers for all its services.
Pay hikes announced last week
for the armed forces may in
crease enlistments. A recruit’s
pay now is $104, while a fully
trained private with six years’
experience gets $171 a month.
In March 1952 during the Ko
rean War buildup the army num
bered 49,278.
Air force personnel totals 50,
644 and the navy 19,150. Total
strength of the armed forces was
116,478 at the end of May com
pared with 117,177 at the end of
last year.
Thus Canada, with a popula
tion about a tenth that of the
United States, has about one
twentv-fifth as many men under
arms.
Magazine Advocating
‘Learning by Doing'
Ends Publishing
NEW YORK, l/P—Progressive
Education Magazine, long a voice
for the “learning by doing” meth
od of educating children, has
closed its pages for good.
The end of the 33-year-old
magazine was announced yester
day by Dr. H. Gordon Hullfish.
“We tried to save the magazine
for the last two years,” said Hull
fish, “but found the job too much
for us. We are down to 2,000 sub
scribers from our original 10,000.”
Hullfish, professor of education
at Ohio University, is secretary
treasurer of the John Dewey So
ciety.
Interest in the progressive edu
cation movement dwindled after
World War II. A swing began
toward the conservative approach
with more emphasis on the three
Rs: reading, writing, arithmetic.

11 Men Found
Dead in Wreckage |
Of Navy Plane
MILAN, Italy, (#—Italian Al
pine guides yesterday reached the
burned out wreckage of a U.S.
Navy plane on rugged San Mar
tino Mountain in northern Italy
and relayed word back by radio
that all aboard had perished.
The plane, with 11 men aboard,
had been missing five days. It was !
spotted yesterday on the slopes of j
the 9,000-foot peak near Trento.
The guides said it crashed at the
7,000-foot level.
The plane vanished Friday af
ternoon after establishing radio
contact with Treviso Airport at
the end of a 1,400-mile flight j
from Casablanca, Morocco.
During the search, a sister plane
crashed in the mountains near
Turin, killing 9 of the 10 men
aboard.
The missing plane, a general
service PV-2 of the Navy’s Trans
port Command, was approaching
its destination at Treviso Airport
when it disappeared. The scene of
the wreckage is about 100 miles
northeast of Treviso.
Airport officials said the pilot
had asked permission to lose alti
tude to land and that everything
appeared to be under control
when radio contact was broken.

American Tourist
To Red China Admits
Visit Was Mistake
SEATTLE, tP)—Admitting his
unauthorized visit to Red China
was a mistake, Donald J. Black
wood says he wouldn’t go again
even if Americans were permit
ted to travel there.
“They weren’t tough. They just
weren’t friendly,” Blackwood told
interviewers Monday night as he
arrived from the Orient with his
Korean wife, Jung Sook Rhee, 23,
and their son, Robert, 10Vi>
months.
Blackwood. 24, said he would
travel by train to Cincinnati and
enter the restaurant business with
his father.
A former Air Force man, young
Blackwood had been working as
a clothing salesman in South Ko
rea when he decided to visit Red
China with his wife and son. They
were interned and expelled earlier
this month as illegal immigrants.
“At first,” Blackwood said,
“they seemed to like the fact we
had come to their country. Then
they changed, I guess because
they found I’d been in the Air
Force in Korea, and because I
was a businessman.”

Wild Elephant
Kills Two Women
COLOMBO, Ceylon, (jT)—A wild
elephant trampled a woman to
death Monday night and tore an
other to pieces a few miles from
the central Ceylon town of Kandy.
The elephant charged a party
of seven returning home from a
village fair. It seized one man
with its trunk and tried to dash
him to the ground but he got
away. The beast then attacked
the two women.
One of the dead women was
the mother of eight children and
the other was the mother of five.
