France Position Weak BBC Adviser Believes
Results of American postwar aid to France and Germany were contrasted yesterday by Walter Taplin, economic adviser to the British Broadcasting company. He spoke at the School of Business convolution.
Mr. Taplin said former Premier Mendes-France may be considered the outstanding premier of post-war France but that his record was marked by political retreat.
He said in spite of political disadvantages, Dr. Adenauer's path has been smooth. Towns and factories have been rebuilt. The country has met with internal and external demands for its products, but there is no great danger of inflation.
"It is a question that faces Dr. Adenauer and the Germans. The answer would depend on the character of the first officers of the forces," Mr Taplin said.
Speaking of German rearmament, Mr. Taplin raised the question of what the character of German forces would be.
"Mendes-France showed determination to overcome the economic problems, but in spite of American aid, the country is still economically weak," Mr. Taplin said.
Mr. Taplin concluded that American aid to Germany for economic and social rescue has been effective. He said aid to Germany probably could be discontinued but would have to continue to France to avoid poor results.
"Dr. Konrad Adenauer was the head of a coalition subject to internal strains," he said.
Germany had even greater problems than France after the war. The country was faced with political division as well as physical ruling, the economist said.
"The cases in which one can give aid and then retire are few," he said. "When it is done, it brings on certain risks. Germany will have to bear the burdens that go with political power."

French to Move In Algeria Strife
The French government announced today it will proclaim a state of emergency in Algeria next week in a stern move to put down nationalist terrorism that threatens the French hold on its North African possessions.
The French move was directed principally against the black-hooded "army of Allah" which five months ago began a series of surprise attacks on police stations and soldiers in scores of cities and towns in Algeria, the North African showcase of the French empire.
Bv UNITED PRESS
The National Assembly voted special powers to Premier Edgar Faure early this morning, giving him the right to censor Algeria's press and radio, close its theaters and bars and order its inhabitants to surrender their arms.
French troops have battled the "army of Allah" almost daily, but the rebels have hidden in the Aures mountain region near the Tunisian frontier and the thousands of troops rushed from France have been unable to quell the rebellion.
Dispatches from Algiers said 350 rebels were keeping 14,000 French security troops at bay in the Aures mountains and that officials feared the terrorists were getting ready to launch a new campaign. So far he rebels have been able to slip through French lines with ease.
"We are using a net for catching tuna fish," one French officer explained, "when what we need is one for sardines."
The French campaign has been weakened by the fact that local inhabitants, acting out of fear or sympathy, have aided the terrorists. The rebels also are being egged on by broadcasts from Egypt and some of the Soviet satellites.

Education Club Mulls Teaching Inadequacies
Lack of facilities for student teaching, overlapping of course material, especially in methods courses, and lack of professional unity were a few of the problems discussed by the Education club in its symposium Wednesday on the topic, "Inadequacies of the Teacher Training Program."
Beverly Jackson and Mary Parsons, education juniors, and Becky Breease, education senior, were panel members. Martha Foor, education junior, presided.
Talking of faults in the physical education program at KU. Miss Breese referred to the lack of facilities and adequate equipment. She said she regretted that more facilities had not been included in the fieldhouse.
Miss Breese also stated she felt that the scholastic program in physical education did not allow the student enough time to get any kind of liberal education. However, she felt that the preparation for teaching physical education was excellent.
Friday, April 1, 1955
Dr. Charles E. Johnson, faculty adviser to the club, pointed out that KU requires 100 hours in the College and 36 hours in the School of Education and said he believed that our teacher training program focused more attention on a liberal
Miss Jackson, who is majoring in elementary education, said she felt that there was too much duplication of material and that many of the methods courses could be adequately taught in six or eight weeks, thereby leaving more time for liberal arts courses.
25 Students to Assist Human Relations Sessions
Some 25 students of sociology and human relations will stay during spring vacation to serve as "guinea pigs" for three teaching demonstrations at the Human Relations conference starting tomorrow in the Student Union.
The fact that many education courses have such a large enrollment was another problem that was presented. Because the student-teacher relationship must necessarily be quite formal in large classes students do not get to know either their classmates in the School of Education or their instructors, and this causes a lack of professional feeling.
The students will comprise an experimental discussion group under the direction of nationally known educators and discuss a "case" while conference members are observing. After each class discussion, the conference members will evaluate the handling of the case by the student group and the teaching technique.
Marston McCulluggage, professor of sociology, and conference chairman, said the sessions will deal
The group felt that smaller classes and more opportunities to meet on an informal basis might be the answer to this problem.
Dr. Johnson also said that because of inadequate facilities education majors could not get any practical teaching experience until their senior year. He said that many problems would be solved and students would have a better understanding and perspective if it were possible for them to have teaching experience earlier in their scholastic program.
education than any other college or university with which he has had any experience.
primarily with teaching and the case method of teaching human relations. The meetings will be informal.
