TRAINS COCKLESHELL WARRIORS Just Before The Champagne

Commando, Frogman

And

Midget Submarines

London, Dec, 20.

A new British film, "Cockleshell Heroes," has focussed the limelight on one aspect of naval warfare in which the Royal Navy specialises more highly than any other of Britain's partners in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.

This is the training of the self-reliant individual to operate in a small team or even alone as a one-man unit of attack, proving that the Commando, the "Frogman,' or the midget submariner, is not outmoded in this electronic- atomic age.

· San Francisco, Dec. 20.

An increasing tendency for teen-age boys and girls in California High Schools (equivalent to the British Grammar School and the continental Lycee) is causing concern ‘among the educational authorities. While the couples may achieve happiness through wedlock, they are presenting their teachers with a considerable problem,

Dr Judson Landis of the University of California, and Kenneth Kidd, as research assistant in family sociology at the University, have published these conclusions after a lengthy investigation of teen-age marriage in secondary schools in California..

In the case of married and pregnant teen-age- wives, the school principals have another conflict of law to moet..

There is the law that requires a girl to attend school until she is 16. But a section of the. educational code describes a pregnant, girl, wheher married cr single, as "inimical to the wel- fare of other pupils."

If the principal permite the mother-to-be to remain in class, he is violating the educational code. If he forces her to leave, he is violating the attendance requirement.
