The National Education Associ-
ation said the extreme shortage
of teachers in recent years, coup-
led with long-standing "f
the profession, apparently has per-
suaded hundreds of local boards
of education to remove barriers
against unemployment of married
women.
But NEA. in a new research bul-
letin on teacher personnel prac-
tices in 1951, said marital status
Is still a basis for discrimination
In a majority of city school sys-
tems.
NEA reported only 41 per cent
of the school systems participating
In the 1951 survey had a policy of
hiring married women without res-
ervation—that is, giving no prefer-
ence to single women.
In 1941, only five per cent of
schools answering a similar ques-
tionnaire reported willingness to
hire married women on an equal
basis with unmarried women.
In the 1951 survey, another 41
per cent of the schools said yes,
married women were acceptable
but preference was given to single
applicants. Another 10 per cent re-
ported they hired married women
rarely, and eight per cent had a
flat policy against diem.
By comparison, in NEA's sur-
vey, only eight per cent reported
a preference for single women,
but 29 per cent hired married wo-
men only in rare occasions, and
58 per cent rfused ever to hire
them.

lino of the steel dispute.
Although steel union and man-
agement representatives scheduled
new bargaining talks in New York
Monday, government hopes for
averting a nationwide strike on
April 8 plummeted almost to zero
in the wake of the top-level row.
Senate Hearing Postponed
Senate action on a one-year ex-
tension of the controls law, sched-
uled for a committee vote Mon-
day. was called off to permit sena-
torial tempers to cool. Some Re-
publicans demanded that he legis-
lation be put on ice until the steel
crisis is settled and Wilson's suc-
cessor is chosen.
Of slightly different construction is the Marine Corps vest, worn by a mannequin above. Weigh*
in* seven and three-quarter pounds, it employs overlapping plates of plasticized &lass fibers, as
well as layers of nylon fabric. Both garments are said to stop a .45-caliber pistol or sub-machine-
Hin bullet at point-blank range, fragments from a grenade burst at three feet or a mortar burst at
10 feet (see inset). Fragmentation injuries comprise 70 per cent of all battle casualties.

For His Role In This Picture
The history of transmission of |
power, from prehistoric days be- j
fore man had invented even the
wheel on down to today's mechani-
cal wonders, was the subject of a
talk by Edgar Ireland Jr. at the
Rotary Club luncheon here Monday
noon at the Blue Bonnet Hotel.
Mr. Ireland, representative here
for C, G. Unlaub Co., made a clas-
sification talk as a Rotary club
member describing developments
through the centuries. He told of
the old manpower, then the lever,
fulcrum and wedge, the wheel, the
belt drivers, chains and today's
couplings to make transmission of
power more efficient.
Luncheon guests included John
Motley, roving reporter who left
Seoul. Korea, two days ago and
arrived here for the Knife and
Fork talk tonight; Jimmy Free-
man of Abilene, Herbert Chaffey,
formerly of Sweetwater. John Berg-
ford, E. R. Van Zandt, Walter
Potter of Roscoe, Leon Matter of
Cisco and formerly of Sweetwater,
Wilson Garrett of Itasca, Lyndoi
Harris and others.
President Leland Glass was in
charge of the meeting and Elmer

PRAYER FOR NEW BIBLE—Dr Samuel McCrea Cavert, general
secretary of the National Council of Churches of Christ *rt the
U. S. A., offers a prayer that a new version of the Protestant Bible
will fulfill its mission, as it goes to press in New York. Publication
of the complete Revised Standard Version of the Holy Bible, the
fifth authorized Protestant version since Coverdale’s Great Bible
^of 1539, culminates 15 years of research by thirty-two scholars.
LAWTON, Okla.. March 31 (IP)—
The body of a 15-ycar-old girl, fi-
ancee of a soldier who turned up
here in a dazed condition three
days ago, was found Monday in
the couple's wrecked automobile.
She apparently was killed in a
traffic accident.
Mary Ann Wright had been miss-
ing since Friday night when she
had a date with Cpl. Francis D. |
Kirkbride, 19-year-old Korean vet-
eran. The soldier, a military po-
liceman stationed at nearby Fort
Sill, was found wandering in
downtown Lawton late Friday and
had been unable to give an ex-
planation for a broken rib and cuts
and bruises he had suffered.
Highway patrolmen who rushed
to the accident scene said the sol-
dier’s car had plunged off U. S.
62 about five miles west of Law-
ton and rolled under a bridge. The
wreckage was not visible from the
heavily-traveled road, they said.
WALCOTT TO MEET CHARLES
PHILADELPHIA UPI — Ileavyt
weight champion Jersey Joe Wal-
cott and Ezzard Charles, the man
he dethroed for the title last July,
Monday signed for a 15-round
championship bout to be held June
5 in Philadelphia.
PANMUNJOM, March 31 (IP) —
Communist staff officers proposed
Monday that a higher-level truce
team take over the unsolved issue
of Russia as a “neutral” inspector
of a Korean armistice. The Allies
reluctantly agreed to consider the
suggestion.
The United Nations staff officer
Col, Don O. Darrovv said he will
relay the proposal to Vice Adm. C.
Turner Joy, Allied chief negotia-
tor, and give the Reds his decision
Tuesday.
The Communists proposed that
subdelegates, who have not met
for more than two months, tackle
once more the question of Russia’s
eligibility to help police a Korean
truce. Darrow protested that the
staff officers had not completed
their proposal, Darrow said:
“It's hard to tell why they pro-
posed it. They can stall fully as
well in either staff officer or sub-
delegation meetings, if they want
to stall.
“I don’l think they necessarily
have been stalling. They have
been trying to get their views into
the armistice agreement.”
In discussions on exchanging
prisoners of war, other staff offi-
cers continued “explorations in an
amicable session,” UN Col. George
W, Hickman reported, He said ne-
gotiators still were studying a
Communist proposal of March 21

NEW YORK, March 31 IIPI—Rep-
sentatives of the "big six” steel
companies and the United Steel-
workers “postponed” their sched-
uled show-dov.n oargainiing con-
ference Monday.
Industry sources indicated a be-
lief that the postponement was for
an "indefinite” time. But union
sources said they understood it
would be for only a few hours.
At any rate, the conferees did
not meet at 2 p, m. as scheduled.
A steel spokesman said the com-
paines needed more time to study
tliet Wage Stabilization board's rec-
ommendations.
