ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (UPI)
— Too many children who learn
the “new math” do poorly in
the real world, a university
professor said Wednesday.
Dr. Roy Dubisch, professor of
mathematics at the University
of Washington, said too many
“poorly trained teachers” think
it is important to talk about
math, as opposed to having
pupils pratice working math
problems like the real ones
they will encounter later in life.
“There is too much recitation
of definitions and vocabulary so
that students wind up as
children who talk about math
glibly, but do poorly in the real
world,” Dubisch told delegates
to the National Council of
Teachers of Mathematics con
vention.

T. W. Allen
W. T. Allen
retires
from G.M.
T. W. (Tom) Allen has ac
cepted early retirement after 20
years of service with the
Cadillac Motor Car division of
General Motors.
He and his family will con
tinue to make their home in
Griffin at 1316 West Poplar
street. His wife is Mrs. Rosebud
Allen.
For the last 13 years Atlanta
has been his business base but
his residence has been in
Griffin.
Some of his business
associates asked if he would
move to Florida, now that he
was retiring.
“What’s in Florida?” he
asked.
“I live in the garden spot of
the universe right now. If you
want to find me, I’ll be at home
in Griffin, Ga.,” he told them.
For a while, Mr. Allen and his
family plan to do some of the
things he has wanted to do but
could not because of his
business schedule.
Then he said he would look
around and perhaps enter
another field of business later.
After graduating from Griffin
High School in 1934, Mr. Allen
got his first job with Randall &
Blakely. The late Mr. Charlie
Randall hired him.
He was with the firm until
World War 11. Mr. Allen went
into training in aircraft engine
maintenance and was a civilian
employe on special assignment
at Warner Robins Air Force
Base.
After the war, he went with
Nash Motors in Atlanta and
later went with Lincoln-
Mercury.
Then he transferred to the
Cadillac Motor Car division of
General Motors in Atlanta.
He was an instructor in the
new GM training center in
Atlanta. He also was an in
structor at the Jacksonville,
Fla. and New Orleans, La.
training centers.
U.S. has key role
in Suez reopening
By JAMES CARY
Copley News Service
WASHINGTON - The gi
gantic task of clearing the 109-
mile-long Suez Canal of
mines, sunken ships and other
debris will begin in the weeks
ahead with the United States
playing the key initial role.
Both the Soviet Union and
Britain presumably also will
have some part in the clearing
operations, and possibly other
nations also, although there is
no official confirmation of this
in Washington.
Japan among others is
known to have offered $l4O
million in aid to the Egyptian
government for this purpose.
Cairo officials also have
talked with private firms and
representatives of a number
of other nations about joining
in the Suez opening oper
ations.
Reports from Cairo state
that an 11-man Soviet team,
including an admiral and
minesweeping and salvage
experts began surveying the
canal late in March, while
four British "mine hunter”
naval ships are reported
steaming toward Port Said.
The British ships reportedly
will be used to detect unex
ploded artillery shells and
other inert explosives that
would not be set off by normal
sweeps for mines.
The eventual Soviet role al
so is expected to focus on re
moval of military debris other
than mines.
But for the present the
planned U.S. help appears to
Deaths -F unerals
Mr. Woodall
Mr. Benjamin Tarver
Woodall, 93, of 154 Stafford
avenue, Barnesville, one of
Barnesville’s most prominent
businessmen, died Wednesday
afternoon at Piedmont Hospital
in Atlanta where he was ad
mitted last Friday.
Mr. Woodall was a native of
Lebanon, Tenn., but had resided
in Barnesville for most of his
life. He owned and operated the
Barnesville Hardware Co. He
was a member of the Woodmen
of the World.
Survivors include three
sisters, Mrs. Mary W. Dobbs,
Mrs. Ginny W. Sims, both of
Barnesville, and Mrs. Sara W.
Timberlake of Jackson, Tenn.;
a brother, Grady Woodall of
Zebulon.
Funeral services will be
conducted Friday afternoon at
2:30 o’clock in the chapel of
Haisten Funeral Home in
Barnesville. Dr. Harry Smith,
Sr., and the Rev. Bob Bone will
officiate. Burial will be in
Greenwood cemetery. The body
will remain at the funeral home.
be the most elaborate. When
fully deployed it will involve
more than 400 U.S. Navy offi
cers and men, the helicopter
capable amphibious assault
ship USS Iwo Jima, eight
minesweeping helicopters,
seven support helicopters and
a private U.S. firm using two
heavy-lift salvage craft
leased from the Navy.
The firm is the Murphy Pa
cific Maritime Salvage Co.
The United States will both
sweep waters of the canal for
mines and provide technical
advice and training to Egyp
tian personnel responsible for
clearing unexploded shells
and other ordnance in the
canal and on its banks.
The U.S. task force com
mander will be Rear Adm.
Brian McCauley. He is al
ready in Cairo conferring with
Egyptian officials. He com
manded “Task Force 78,” the
Navy group that swept North
Vietnam’s Haiphong harbor
to free it of active mines be
tween November, 1972, and
July, 1973.
As in the North Vietnam op
eration the clearing will be
carried out largely by heli
copters trailing sleds and
magnetic orange pipe across
the canal surface to set off
mines concealed below.
This time, however, there
will be the added danger of
not knowing in all cases who
laid the mines and what type
they are.
The Defense Department
has reported the minesweep
ing will take “at least a few
months to complete.” It said
Mr. Davis

the U.S. government also “is
planning to pay" for the oper
ation although the amount has
not been determined and the
subject is still under discus
sion.
The date of beginning the
helicopter sweeps has not
been set.
State Department officials
said negotiations with the
Egyptians on these arrange
ments have been under way
for some time. They said they
expect efforts to reopen the
canal — closed since the 1967
Arab-Israeli War — to involve
four stages:
Mine clearance; clearing of
the 16 wrecked ships in the
canal (the Egyptians will
need help on 10 of the 16) plus
removal of other debris;
dredging back to the 1967
level, and finally at some
point implementation of plans
to expand and deepen the
canal so it can handle the
larger tankers and ships now
used in international com
merce.
The Soviet role in reopening
the canal is not clear. It ap
pears to be motivated to some
extent by political consider
ations.
Moscow has demonstrated
a certain uneasiness about in
creasingly warm relations be
tween the United States and
Egypt, a nation where the So
viets have a vast investment
in the Aswan Dam, the
Helwan Iron and Steel com
plex, and in billions of dollars
of military equipment.
To counter the U.S. influ
ence the Soviet team, headed
by a Victor Litvinov, will re
portedly submit a plan to help
remove some of the tanks,
planes and other military
equipment in the canal.
Uniroyal Fastrak is original equipment on 1973 and 1974 cars.
For anyone who wants a truly quality tire at this time, this is a
fantastic value.

Sale called off
NEW YORK (UPI) - The
sale of Avis, Inc., the auto
rental firm, to a subsidiary of
American Express, by Interna
tional Telephone & Telegraph
Corp., has been called off for
the time being.
The three companies made a
joint announcement Wednesday,
but gave no reason. An ITT
spokesman said it had only
been decided not to proceed
with the deal at this time,
indicating it may be revived.
Avis is one of the businesses
ITT must divest itself of as
part of the controversial
settlement of the Justice
Department’s complaint which
allowed it to retain control of
the Hartford Fire Insurance
Group.
