‘Thousands’ Executed in Big
Purge by Chinese Reds
HONG KONG, Jan. «. Vn—A
press report said today that "thou-
sands have been executed with-
in the past two months inside
Communist China.
Thousands more were reported
undergoing mental and physical
rigors of newly-formed “re-educa-
tion ' camps springing up through-
ant the country These camps
largely are in the always dissident
ares of South China.
Reasons for this sudden purge
were not entirely clear. There
were at least two obvious possibll-
ities:
1. Guerrilla resistance through-
out the mainland may have be-
come too strong for Chinese Com-
munist authorities to deal with in
anything short of strongest meas-
able, may be eliminating all dis-
sident elements.
Reports here said 16 American
missionaries have been arrested
in Kwangsi Province In the part

The Communists themselves re-
ported yesterday from Hankow,
the capital of Kwangsi Province,
that 43,699 “bandits” were elimi-
nated there in November and De-

The English - language Hoag
Kong Standard quoted private re-
ports from China that the Reds
have executed thousands in the
past two months as part of a na-

espionage" campaign.

We deeply appreciate the unself-
ish interest of the members of the
Abilene public school board in be-
half of the school needs of this
city, but we deplore the recent ac-
tion taken by the board la author-
izing dances on public school prop-
erty. We respectfully urge the
school board to rescind its decision.
in this city there are many
teachers and young people in our
public schools who do not dance
and who will he embarrassed and
ostracized for their failure to take
part in a school sponsored activity.
Opposition to dancing la a reli-
gious conviction with many people
la Abilene, aad we urge that a.
person be placed la any position by
our public school that will endan-
ger his convictions.
We believe that it is contrary to
the fundamental principles of re-
ligious liberty to use tax supported
property to foster activities and
ideas that are contrary to the re-
ligious convictions of any part of
the citizenship in Abilene
The above statement is author-
ized by the following Churches of
Christ in Abilene
curricular only.
Some of those who have critieiz- 1
ed the policy have pointed out the
evils of the public dance and dance
hall as reasons for opposition The
policy adopted by the Board and
the practice we would advocate I
makes to provision for public
dances it is not anticipated that
the dancing with school permission
shall be made available to any ex-
rept school children. The school
does not propose to sponsor but
rather to permit and that only when
acceptable and adequate plans for
direction snd supervision are pro-
vided
This is not, as some would have
as believe, a drastic step untried by
public schools Many schools have
accepted it as the usual procedure.
One of our neighboring schools has
accepted responsibility for super-
vising dances for high school stu-
dents for twelve or fifteen years.
We are all parents of teen-age
children whose welfare is of as
great concern to us as is the wel-
fare of any school child to his or
her parents. As trustees we are
genuinely concerned about the wel-
fare of aU the youth of our City.
It is not our intention to subject the
school boys and girls to influences
detrimental to their welfare Rath-
er we hope that the school may
provide wholesome environment
for some of their social activity.
Yet the responsibility must rest on |
the parents to help plan, support,
direct, and supervise most of their
recreational program.

5 Trustees Explain
Why Dancing Favored
To the Editor:
I We, the five members of the
Board of Trustees of Abilene Pub-
lic Schools who voted to permit so-
cial dancing as a part of the extra-
curricular program of the Abilene
—Schools, want to express our
thanks to you for the fine editorial
concerning the issue that appeared
in the Abilene Reporter-News Sun-
day, December 21 The editorial
expressed so nearly just what we
think snd was so well stated that
[all of us want to commend you for
it.
There are some points that ap-
parently have become confused
about the issue that we feel should
be clarified We would appreciate
your making this explanation avail-
able to the public through the col-
umns of your paper.
The policy for which we voted
provides for "permitting the Incite,
sion of social dancing in school ac-
tivities at the discretion of the su-
perintendent and the principal of
the school involved provided that
there be adequate supervision."
I This decision does not represent:
a very great change from previous
practice. For some six or seven
veers one high school organization
has had an annual banquet and
dance planned by the organization
and supervised by school staff
members. There had not been a
policy prohibiting or permitting
dancing as a part of school func-
tions. This group had been permit-
ted to follow the custom establish-
ed some years ago Other school
organizations have requested per-
mission to include social dancing
as a part of their programs The
Board has considered in previous
years establishing some policy re-
garding these requests but had not
reached a decision to permit or to
prohibit social dancing as a part of.
school activities until the meeting
held Dec. 18.
it is not anticipated that danc-
ing will be taught in the schools as
some apparently have thought. And
certainly no pupil or teacher will
be compelled to attend functions
where such dsneing is a part of the
program. It Is not planned that any
pupils or teachers will participate
in the dancing in any capacity ex-
cept as they choose to dance, to
supervise, or to observe.
Dancing Is not to be a part of
the curriculum. Rather It is hoped
thst sn opportunity will be provid-
ed those parents who want to have |
dancing for their children and the
pupils who want to dance to do the!
Again let ua say that we appre-
ciate the editorial comment tn con-
nection with this issue.
Very Sincerely, 1
