No, he doesn't. Page 40, point 19 in the edition I use, he agrees
with everyone else.
I don't doubt you, but my edition (which I inherited when a colleague
passed away) is copyright 1973, has nothing about rests on page 40 (I
looked carefully from p. 30 to p. 50), and does not use numbered
points at all. His only Chapter on rests is Chapter 5, and is mostly
concerned with how to draw them (by hand, of course), both individual
rests and multirests. I disagree with his instructions on how to
draw quarter rests, since I trained my fingers to draw them from the
top down rather than the bottom up, but everything else is just plain
common sense.
