VIET CONG GUERILLA Resignation shows in the face of this 38-year-old cap- tured Viet Cong guerrilla after he was taken prisoner by members of the U.S. 25th Infantry northwest of Saigon. In his long years as a guer- rilla, he was in involved in actions against French, Viet- namese and American troops. Now he faces jail or execu- tion. Tag on his wrist, identi- fying him as a prisoner, is similar to one made out for every captive taken.

George Grivas from command of the Cyprus National Guard. Stephanopoulos also won sup- port from John Ignatades, a member of former premier George Papandreou's Centre Un- ion. Other followers of Papan- dreou in Parliament were re- ported ready to support the gov- ernment. Elias Tsirimokos, the deputy, premier and foreign minister, | resigned Monday night because the premier would not support President Makarios of Cyprus in his campaign to take the 11,000- man guard away from Grivas and put it under the Cypriot de- fence ministry. | Fear Fades Stephanopoulos called a cabi- net meeting and said he would resign if it did not support him. "The cabinet is solidly behind the premier,' a high govern- ment source said. The government has a major- ity of only four seats in the 300- seat Parliament, and Tsirimo- kos said he was withdrawing his support. But it appeared this wa offset by the reports of Cen- tre Union support for the pre- mier. Grivas, who also commands 14,000 Greek Army "volunteers" on Cyprus, was sent to the Me- diterranean island by the Ath-' ens government two years ago when fighting broke out between Greek - and Turkish - Cypriots. Tsirimokos was said to be backing Archbishop Makarios for the sake of unity between Greece and the Greek-Cypriots. TWO VICE. PRINCIPALS SAY: More Dropouts Needed In Secondary Schools eos hats elec orem TORONTO (CP)--Two vice- principals agreed Monday that more students should be al- lowed to drop out of Ontario secondary schools. C..R. Tuttle of Sudbury told the vice-principals' section of the Ontario Educational Associ- ation convention that many principals work too hard to keep in school students who are not suited for education. W. H. Hill of suburban York Township suggested that a year of job-hunting might convince drop outs that their best chance was to return and work hard in school. The meeting was one of sev- eral held on the opening day of the week-long convention, which has attracted about 12,000 dele- gates. Charles H. Rushton, co-ordi- nator for the Kitchener-Water- loo high school board of the Ca- nadian vocational training pro- gram, said many 16 and 17-year- olds regard the training pro- gram as a place to keep warm, get a free meal and draw $5-a- day subsistence allowance, BLAME TEACHERS Many blamed teachers, espe- cially vice-principals, for their failure in school In some instances such youths were "shove-outs," not drop- outs. They were invited to leave because they had hecome a dis- rupting influence in the school program. | Prof. Donald H. Richardson of the University of Windsor's psy- chology department said many students tend to regard counsel- ling as punishment, or at least! a result of what the school ad- ministration considered their shortcomings. Mrs. Ivon Bailey of Pembroke suggested dis- turbed students should be given psychiatric help outside the school. "Yes, but some disturbances caused by influences outside the school can be dealt with in the school by a sympathetic coun- sellor," Prof. Richardson said. NEED TV A panel discussion on educa- tional television was told by Mel LaFontaine, director of the Tor- onto Board of Education li- brary's documentation centre, that high schools should have at least four TV sets on at all times. "We must create environ- ment. We can't teach literature if we drive the student away from it. Shakespeare was the horse-opera writer of his day but we have some good ones to- day like Rod Serling." Donald Rutledge, director of the Toronto board's language study centre, disagreed. He said the impact of educational TV after eight years is negligible and has not justified the ex- pense. ..

The next session of the in- quiry under Mr. Justice Wishart Spence of the Supreme Court of Canada is expected to start here Monday, April 18. However, Mr. Fulton earlier applied for a postponement after a secret hearing of which he and Mr. Diefenbaker were not advised and at which they were not represented by coun- sel. | Mr. Fulton said Monday Mr. Carson has advised against any further public statements about the inquiry, including making public correspondence between Mr. Fulton and Prime Minister Pearson about the 1961 Mun- singer file. | The two Conservative leaders} complained last week about Mr.} Justice Spence's actions in open-} ing the inquiry in secret, taking| testimony from a number of wit-; | | In Havana © MIAMI, Fla.

Which History Do You Read? VANCOUVER (CP) Dr. Jean-Marie Joly, Quebec's di- rector-general of school cur- ricula and examinations, said Monday the interpretation of Canadian history depends on whether Quebec school text- books English-speaking provinces, Dr. Joly said in an interview that the marked difference in textbooks between French- and English-speaking provinces was revealed in a study made at La- val in June, he said. Dr. Joly said in the interview that the study of textbooks re- vealed many of the men men- tioned in Quebec books were not mentioned in the textbooks used in the English-speaking prov- inces. "And of course, the Quebec texts tend to emphasize the French regime in Canada," he id, "Only a minority of historical people are mentioned in both sets of texts." In general, he said, the French texts tertded to empha- size military and religious lead-| ers and aspects, while the Eng-| are read or those of} Mr. Carson, 65-year-old cor- poration lewyer,is-expeeted-to raise the issue of the secret ses- sion and procedure for the in- quiry when he appears before Mr. Justice Spence Leading Conservatives argue that by accepting certain docu- ments as evidence Mr. Justice Spence has, in effect, made up his mind that they are accurate statements of the facts of the Munsinger case. They also say that the testi- mony about the documents and what was done pith them in 1961 has been accepted by the inquiry without the normal test- ing of the witnesses' memories or knowledge by lawyers for persons affected. Mr, Justice Spence was ap- pointed by the Liberal cabinet as a one-man royal commission to inquire into charges by Jus- tice Minister Cardin.

Her Danish bridegroom, Jorgen Kruse, 27, escorted her proudly from the village chureh, at the reception they welcomed 80 guests. Their. marriage ended 16 "hours" later "in tragedy, ws they knew it would. Lesley, a physical training teacher, met Jorgen three years ago while she was on a holiday in Copenhagen. A year ago they fixed their wedding day. Soon after Les- ley learned she had leukemia and could never recover. Friday her doctors gave her a last transfusion. Satur- day she walked down the aisle on the arm of her father, Antony Brackstone. "The bride, the bridegroom and all the family knew that Lesley had lost her battle to live," said her father. "Only her will power and | the combined efforts of three doctors got Lesley to the altar. "It was happiness at the thought of her wedding that kept her alive." Lesley was too weak to cut the wedding cake at the re- ception. She died early Sun- day with Jorgen at her side. Thursday she will be cre- mated in her wedding dress.
