Illegal Entry Proof Absent DETROIT, Nov. 19-(1P)-A House subcommittee's investigation into in- ternational border "leaks" fizzled out today in an admission by the chair- man that no evidence has been found that Communists are entering the United States illegally from Can- ada. "So far we haven't found anything that gives us sufficient proof that Communists ogre entering illegally from Canada," Rep. Lesinski (Dem., Mich) told reporters as the hearing recessed. At the outset, Lesinski said in a statement that he had information that "a substantial number of aliens known to be Communists" were ad- mitted to the U. S. in violation of im- migration regulations. After listening to testimony from State Department and immigation authorities, Lesinski said border bar- riers have been strengthened in recent months until no serious violations are now apparent.

Brazil School System Based On U.S. Plan Educator Emphasizes Democratic Methods The modern Brazilia nsystem of education has been devised to in- clude both cultural features and the American tendency towards in- creased specialization, Dr. Abgar Renault, Brazilian educator and for- mer delegate to UNESCO, said here yesterday. Speaking at a lecture sponsored by1 the education school and the ro- mancedlanguageshdepartment, Dr. Renault pointed out that the Brizil- ian government has attempted de- mocrratization of education by re- ducing costs and giving any student access to institutions of higher learn- ing provided he can pass adequate examinations. Since 1931 the principle features of the educational system in Brazil have included a system of standardized requirements, the introduction of new teaching methods in modern languages an dscience, with emphas- is on observation and practice in the latter, and programs in handiwork and physical education in the sec- ondary schools, Dr. Renault stated.
