JERUSALEM, Israel (T)-Re-
ports reaching Israel from the
Jordan-administered part of Pal-
estine yesterday said a new scroll
was discovered a fortnight ago in
the Dead Sea region.
It was about a mile from the
caves where the famous Dead Sea
Scrolls were discovered in 1947.
It was reported this manuscript,
found by an Arab, contains the
five books of the Pentateuch-
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Num-

Von Peursem
DETROIT 0P) -- United Auto
Workers union secretary-treasurer
Emil azey today criticized state
Rep. George Von Peursem for say-
ing Michigan's unemployment
problem does "not constitute an
emergency."
Van Peursem (R-Zeeland) is
chairman of the House labor com-
mittee.
Mazey said: "For callous indif-
ference to human suffering, the'
statement of Van Peursem that
unemployment of 230,000 Michi-
gan workers does not constitute
an emergency, ranks close to C. E.
Wilson's comparison to kennel
dogs and White House spokesman
Howard Pyles' extolling the right
to suffer as one of the joys to a
free economy."

To Rename
Existing
Organisms
In its seventh week here, the
annual summer Biological Confer-
ence has produced evidence that
botanists and zoologists will soon
be busy re-classifying many living
organisms in our world.
The conference has dealt with
the fundamental concepts under-
lying modern systematics --. a
new concept in classifying all liv-
ing organisms by a single method
into one great system of classifi-
cation. Topic of the conference
is "Modern Approaches to System-
atic Biology."
A new method being used by
taxonomists to help classify spe-
cies, comparative chemistry, was
explained by R. Darnley Gibbs,
professor of botany at McGill
University in Montreal, Canada.
Compare Makeup .
When a botanist or zoologist is
not certain where a new species
should be classified - it may look
like a certain group of plants or
animals have .the same hereditary
characteristics - all he has to do
is compare the chemical makeup
of the new species with the group
he believes it belongs in, Gibbs
says.
"Using all the old methods
caused great confusion," he con-
tends, but the new chemistry ap-
proach has simplified and cor-
rected many of the errors.
Usual methods, he said, were to
compare physicalnatures of new
plants, or animals with similar
ones. The taxonomist then com-
pared the anatomy and the here-
ditary characteristics of the two.
Not Always True
Prof. Gibbs pointed out that this
natural classification method did
not always result in a true classi-
fication.
During the last twenty years
the field of taxonomy - classifi-
cation of plants and animals -
has become a very active science,
according to Prof. Warren H.
Wagner, of the Botany Depart,
ment, and chairman of the con-
ference.

Every child who fails to learn toy
read must have special diagnostic
study, Dr. Ralph Rabinovitch,
director of Hawthorne Center,
Northville, said yesterday.
Dr. Rabinovitch gave the general
address, "Psychiatric Considere-
tions in Reading Retardation" at
the 11 a.m. session of the 27th
annual summer Educational Con-
ference at the University, July
17-19.
"It seems obvious from study
of children who fail to learn to
read that there is no one basic
cause for this failure," he declared.
Four Types
The child psychiatrist stated
that basically there are four types
of reading retardation:
1) primary retardation in the
group of children who have a
specific known brain damage, such
as head injuries or damage from
disease. This group also includes
those children who have suffered
pre-natal brain damage, such as
may occur when the mother has
German measles in the first three
months of pregnancy;
2) primary reading retardation
in which it is evident that there
is a disturbance in capacity for
learning symbol functioning;
Devolopment Lag
3) secondary retardation, or
children who haver aslow rate of
neurological associational develop-
ment. This is called a developmen-
tal lag;
4) secondary reading retarda-
tion in children who have adequate
capacity, no development lag, no
brain damage, but who simply lack
motivation, or have a negative
attitude, or have been taught bad-
ly."
Dr. Rabinovitch stressed that it
is a mistake to differentiate these
types by using the verbal test only.
He explained that on a perform-

ance test the "primaries," who do
badly with a verbal test, often show
a very high level of intelligence.
"I feel it is important that we
use the performance scale rather
than just label these children re-
tarded," he said.
He went on to say that children
with primary retardation who have
high performance IQ's often have
a peculiar kind of orientation dif-
ficulty. For instance, they have
great difficulty differentiating
sizes, shapes, heights, and seasons.
Such a child will say, "Christmas
comes in July because it's very cold
then."
Improper Stimulation
Dr. Rabinovitch stated that lack
of proper stimulation, or lack of

are suffering from frustrations in
many areas. They are often suf-
ferng from both home deprivation,
and school deprivation.
"However, the schools are doing
a tremendous job through pro-
viding compensatory activities to
make up for lack of opportunities
in the home. We recognize that
there are thousands of children,
deprived at home, who would be
coming to the clinic were it not
for the opportunities the schools
are providing," he said.
Dr. Rabinovitch stressed that
children suffering primary reading
retardation cannot be taught in
the regular classroom period.
"They must be gven very speical

Negro Paper:
By ADELAIDE WILEY
Smiling proudly, W. Beverly
(called "Bev" by his pretty wife)
Carter described the Negro news-
paper he publishes as having "no
counterpart in the white field."
And his newspaper, The Pitts-
burgh Courier, has a unique na-
tional and local coverage. There
are 17 editions, in places like New
* Orleans, Chicago, Detroit, New
York, Georgia, and on the west
coast.
Each of these receives a "basic,'
an outline of national news, and
the separate agencies write their
own local news: the latter they
send to Pittsburgh, where pages
are arranged and the papers are
air mailed back to the local agen-
cies.

No White Counterpart

"The only other paper with a
system like ours is 'Grit', pub-
lished in Williamsport, Pa.," Car-
ter remarked, shifting his 6'61/2"
frame. "And that sheet is a week-
ly." '
Carter, 35 years old, and one
of the country's youngest pub-
lishers stressed: "Our staff is com-
pletely integrated. The mechani-
cal staff used to be all white, but
we began training Negro appren-
tices and now that is balanced."
Having been Courier publisher
for 16 months, Carter says he has
much faith in the Negro press
generally. "The Negro newspaper
has been a much maligned thing
-people have accused us of being
sensational, or yellow, but the
fact is, we rely on circulation (as
opposed to most papers who rely
on advertising) for revenue.
"Besides, 90 per cent of our
salesdare on newsstands, whereas
other papers and magazines most-
ly rely on subscriptions ot make
sales. So, if we seem sensational,
it is because we must appeal to a
mass media. Behind the front
page is lots of good thought."

out segregation, where it had been
thought of as completely neces-
sary - this is due to his own ex-
perience in the service."
Carter added that Washington,
where he could not get a cab with-
in two blocks of Union Station in
1944, is now a place "where I
could go to live."
Familywise, Carter haas a nine-
year-old son who, his teacher-wife
smiles, "likes to go with us every-
where, and may end up being a
writer like his father."
McCarthy Assails
UN Nomination
WASHINGTON (AP)-Sen. Joseph
McCarthy (R-Wis) assailed Paul
G. Hoffman's nomination to the
United Nations delegation in the
Senate yesterday as "a calculated
rebuff to Republicans."
He said it was a rebuff "per-
petrated, if you please, by the men
who surround Dwight Eisenhower."
McCarthy and Sen. Jenner (R-
Ind.), who said Hoffman as an in-
riiirinlhn hpn id tifi~r d ith

Estimates Death
Radius of A-Arm
WASHINGTON (A)-The death-
dealing radius of an atomic ar-
tillery shell was estimated yes-
terday at more than a mile.
This informataion was given by
Robert T. Coss, assistant secre-
tary of defense, in a letter to Rep.
Hosmer R-Calif., which Hosmer
included in a House speech.
Ross said the thermal effect of
a 280mm. artillery shell with an
atomic warhead would, under nor-
mal weather conditions, produce
50 per cent fatalities. Among ex-
posed persons this would be "at
ranges up to slightly more than a
mile from the point of burst."

He concluded, "We may expect,
that given help with personality
problems, the secondary group will
make good progress in learnipg to
read. The primaries, however, will
not do as well. Some of these
children may attain functional
reading but at a low level.
"The general goal of research in
clinical psychology should be to
sharpen our diagnostic insights so
that prevention of reading diffi-
culties at age seven or eight, or
even before, will be the answer,"
