A prime target of the new leg- islation will be parents who fail to comply with the country's compulsory education laws, but fines also will be imposed on em- ployers of school children and on operators of amusement places which admit children during school hours. Athough illiteracy is lower among children in the 7 to 13 age group 'than in the population as a whole, statistics show that among this group 20.3 per cent still are illiterate. be paid to families who fail to send their children to school. 4, Firms or individuas who ad- mit children of school age to pub- lic spectacles or other amusements during school hours, and any per-| son employing such children dur-| ing school hours, will be liable to a fine of from 500 to 2,500 escudos (about $16 to $86). 5. Any policeman who finds a child of school age in a public place during school hours without justifiable reason, must take the child to school. PUNISHMENT PROVIDED return to civilian life until they have passed the exam. The new laws also provide for the launching cf a two years' "na- tional campaign for the education of adults," starting in January, 1953, and aimed at preparifig illi- terate persons between the ages of 14 and 35 for the test.

(AP) -- Peace officers tensed as a new threat of violence arose today over t controversial movie, 'Salt of the Earth," being filmed in this southwest New Mexico mining area. The state polic forc was placd on the alert after Sheriff Owen Matthews reported 150 townsmen | at nearby Central had decided to warn makers of the film to '"'get out by noon or go out in black boxes.' The sheriff notified state police chief Joe Roach that a 10man committee had been appointed at the meeting to deliver the ultim- atum to the movie-makers, who hav been accused in Congress of making the film under Communist Trujillo said. '"We, as American citizens, must not allow ourselves to be placed on a par with Com- munist police action methods." Despite the threat, Clinton Jencks, international representat- ive of the Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, which is produc- ing the movie, declared: "We are not going to back down because of any informal threats. We will be on the job at our usual shooting schedules." Tuesday Jencks' eye was black- ened by an irate citizen who ob- jected to the movie, He filed a complaint of assault and battery against Earl Lett, stocky 42-year- old druggist. Lett owned up cheerfully to the attack. He said: "1 grabbed him by the coat so The mine-mill union was tossed out of the CIO some time ago because its leaders refused to swear they weren't Communists. Rosaura Revueltas, Mexican mo- vie star who had a leading part in the film, attended the Soviet- sponsored international film festiv in East Berlin last summer. She is held by the immigration service in El Paso on charges she entered the U, S. illegally. SHORT VISITS VANCOUVER (CP)--British Col- umbia should set another record in tourist traffic this year, accord- ing to Harry Duker, president of the B.C. Automobile Association. | But he's worried by .the recent tendency of visitors to stay for shorter periods. Duker said the best way to make them stay lon- ger is for everyone to make visi tors welcome.

On her bridge are seven notches cut in the woodwork, each com- memorating success against Ger- man ships in the Second World War. Aft, in the Engineer's machine shop, is a small shell- hole made by a German 20mm. shell. "I guess we should put a brass plate under it," said the Engineer Officer, 'just to remind us." The Haida has a reputation. "It doesn't matter who's in the ship," says her present commanding of- ficer~ (Cdr. Dunn Lantier of 1525 Closse Street, Montreal). "Haida has to live up to herself." SHORE BOMBARDMENT Tht is what she is doing. She has bombarded the enemy ashore to the staccato tune of 1,600 rounds, damaging factories, silencing bat- teries which had been harassing UN-held islands far north of the front line. She has spent weary hours in all weathers on the duil but vital job of screening carriers against possible submarine attack, while naval aircraft took destruc- tion to the enemy by day and night. She has engaged shore batteries in defence of the spunky US mine- sweepers who go right inshore to make the channels safe and ab- sorb a lot of gunfire while doing it. One night, last December, after lurking long within the enemy's | range, she bagged a train --warth | another notch up "there on the bridge.

Paul, of Mirror, Alta., "has been against the elements." Lieut.-Cdr.

Prof. Henri Chretien, who in- vented it, is a Parisian. At 12 years of age he became a pupil at the Chaix Press Training School and and studied for a time at observa- Nice, Cambridge, and Mount Wilson, until sent to Washington as assistant to Gen. Collardet, military attache at the French Embassy. When the war was over he found- ed the Paris Optical Institute with Jobin and continued to work for national defence with Gen. Mou- teau. There, among other inven- tions, he perfected the "Hypergo- nar," a process by which one could obtain on a 35-mm. film a field in height or width double that of ordi- nary film lenses. The '"Hypergonar was presented with success at the Palace of Light in the 1937 Inter- national Exhibition, but seemed to fall into oblivion for a space of 15 years.
