Moscow's Press In Attack On 0 Wesiernihiions

LONDON. (AP) Moscow's press and radio have launched a violent attack charging the Un- ited stats and other Western nations with racial persecution. This was immediately viewed by observers as an attempt. to divert Soviet and world attention from the bizarre case of the ''doctors' plot," in which there had been implicit admiulons of anti-Jewish activity on the part of Soviet of- ficials.

Komsomolskaya Pravda. nowa- papar of the soviet Young Com- munist League, carried a long ar- ticle Tuesday concerning what it called "the oppression of Negroes and other racial minority groups in the U.S.A."

Trud. newspaper of the Soviet trade union system. said "Ruhr and American monopolists" by re- militarizing West Germany were reviving Hitler's forced-labor pro- gram and "bestial exploitation of the common people."

often in the past the Soviet. propaganda organs have attempt- ed to divert attention from events in Russia's own sphere by accus- ing Western nations of precisely the some activities. I-loving admit- ted the fiasco of the "dootcrs' plot," the intention seems now to he to tell the people that things are far worse in the non-Com- muniat world.

Science Course Requirements Emphasized By Premier Jones

The new course of studies be- ing prepared for Giiade 11 in the schools of the Province must con- term it heavy course in elementary science, particularly biology. or it will be thrown out and a new one instituted. Premier J. Walter Jones, Minister of Education, told the opening session of the annual convention of the P. E. 1. Teachers Federation yesterday morning.

The Premier also told them that he had heard a lot of talk already aibouthaving a. Grade 12 in rural schools. ”As long as I am around there will be no Grade 12 be- cause you can't teach it." he said. So forget that part of it. You aren't equipped to teach science."

In tracing the history of the country and Province the Premier noted the great. changes that have come and related them to the teaching of both history and geo- graphy which he said needed to be modernized. He recalled that when he was in school pupils had to learn all the rivers and bays because on and into them, was carried the commerce of the coun- try. However. he said, today it is the highway that is important and the teaching of geography ought to start with the road outside the door of the school.

of history he was not sure that the memorizing of dates and past monarchs was of much value ex- cepting to develop the memory and thought that stories of interest might mean more to the students. As an example he cited the origin of the name ”Union Jack" for the flag. He said it came about when James I ordered flag makers to combine the flags of Scotland and England when he became King of the latter country. He signed the order in French with the hunt- "Jacques".

Details 173.. Outlined Soon in Commons

f'i"'7SAWA, (OP) - The federal government is planning is three- pronged expansion of .. multi- million-dollar national health pro- gram. '

Health offithls said Tuesday that the features. to be outlined in the Commons shortly by Health Minister Martin, likely will con- centrate on aid for disabled per- sons and expectant mothers.

Initially. the ”""nslon is ex- pected to add another 55,300,000 a year - and eventually a lot more -to sl00,000.000 spent during the last five years.

The national health program, which provides federal grants to provinces to aid control of diseases. hospital construction and medical training, was set up in 1948 by the former prime minister, Mackenzie King.

Officials recalled that Mr. King had said that the program would be reviewed at the end of five years.

Gov't. Satisfied

The program celebrates its fifth birthday next month and the fed- eral government is reported to be so satisfied with it that it has de- cided on this three-way expans- ion:

1. Concentrate on medical aid and rehnbilit-ation of disabled grown-ups. in the same way as crippled children have been aided. This may develop in the establish- ment of special hospitals for the disabled. but this will be a matter for federal-provincial planning.

2. Provide funds for appointment of provincial directors and other trained personnel to concentrate on pre-natal and post-natal care for expectant mothers. This pro- gram would include education of women in child-caring and con- struction of special clinics in areas where none are provided now.

3. Construction of laboratories to aid doctors in obtaining accurate diagnosis of a patient's ills. Con- centration woul.. be on building laboratories in communities where none now exist or boosting equip- ment and trained personnel in labs which currently are under- staffed or under-equipprri

To start the expansion. the gov- ernment already has included 35.- 300,000 in the health department's 1953-54 estimates So far. there has been no official explanation for this item. though there has been

Agriculture needed parity prices -the linking of faint prices to the cost of production. It needed as- surance of long-term markets that would provide stability. It need- ed assurance of returns that would encourage young Canadians to take up farming.
