ROBERT WHITFIELD, "25, sits in classroom with her students at Little Rock's Romine Elementary School where 454 of the 470 pupils are white. Miss Whitfield is a Negro. She is one of four members of her race as- signed to teach in predom- inantly white schools in a pilot project begun this year. This faculty desegregation is under way in the Arkansas city's public school system -- -- THE PEOPLE ARE READY... US. Will Attack Red China Sure LONDON (AP)--The govern- ment in Peking is convinced that a U.S. attack on China has! become highly probable There is evidence the people; are being prepared for a major) confrontation. Chen-yi, the foreign minister, , said last September "It is up to the United States' president and the Pentagon to decide whether the United States wants a big war with! China." If the United States is deter-| mined to launth a war, he said,| "they are welcome to come sooner--to come as early as to-) morrow." | Empty bombast? I don't think so. Behind this challenge is the belief that the United States-- if it faces an impasse in Viet Nam and is unready to concede defeat--may attempt to find a solution by widening the area of! conflict. Chen - yi's challenge also | springs from a supreme contfi- | dence in China's defence capa-| city. Wherever I went in China 1) saw young people drilling and taking target practice.

As each U.S plane is shot down in North Viet Nam, in thousands of schools throughout China signs are changed to show the latest total One evening I had dinner in Peking with an old Chinese friend--a distinguished historian educated at Cambridge univer- | sity. He said reflectively: "It's a little ironic, isn't it, | that it is the United States, of /all countries, that is saying we |are aggressive and expansive. China doesn't have a single sol-| dier outside of Chira--not one. | And how many does America| have--a million and a half?" | | ! } (300) AMONTH | FOR LIFE | : From Age 65 (and after what I saw I could believe it), a civilian defence army of 100,000,000 in a matter of hours Britain's Field Marshal Lord Montgomery was in China in 1960.

The main drawback is that in many instances a woman is no sooner trained in her service job than she gets married and leaves the armed forces.
