Families Call Strike
Meeting on Kimba||
School Crowdinq

Nearly 400 families whose children
attend the Kimball Elementary
School-where classes meet on the
stairway and in the stockroom-will
meet at 8 o'clock tonight to consider
strike" In protest against over
crowding.
Mrs. Ann Goodman, president of
the Kimball Parent Teacher Associ-
alton, will propose that the parents
keep the 554 students away from
school for day to draw the atten-
ton Of Congress to need of an addi-

Built in 1912 for a capacity of $50
pupils, the Kimball, at Minnesota

on a part-time schedule for nearly
two years. About $50 Of the 554
students get three hours instruction
daily instead Of five. Many of the
younger ones have to come for an
hours special coaching at 9:15 am.
and then return for their regular
three hours Of school at 1890 pm.
"A day just like stenographer's
instead OF that of a very young
child" one worried parent said.
School and city heads have been
trying to get an addition to the
Kimball But the $287 $50 appro-
priated this year was not enough to
build it, they discovered. The lowest
bid was $685. 400.
Forced to reject the high bids, the
Commissioners have announced they
will ask for more bids in about two
months. But the parents feel that
construction prices will not have
dropped by then and that only
through bigger appropriation from
Congress can they hope to get the
school built.
Meeting With Haycock.
Mrs. Goodman has an appoint
ment at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon
with Robert L..Haycock, superin-
tendent, to talk over the situation,
she said. Only II students are leav-.
ing the Kimball in February, while
40 more are enrolling.
The Kimball has eight classrooms
and kindergarten room. In addi-
ton, Miss Dorothy Lewis, principal,
has converted an artroom and gen.
eral utility room-both small-into
full-time classrooms.
The stockroom, piled with paper
supplies and chalk, is used for about
a dozen of the youngsters who hour
ly come for special coaching. Other
coaching classes meet on the stairs,
Miss Lewis said.
Some days the children wear

Other Behavior Factors.
Informed Of the Army's prelim-
mary report on Mussolini,s brain
DR.. Overholser declared:
"Oftentimes. the presence Of phys
ical abnormalities of the brain is
the key to the presence of a mental
disorder, but on the other hand, 4
mental disorder may exist where
there is no discernible brain damage
Factors other than the physical
condition Of the brain may account
for how a man behaves. The en-
yironment in which he lives, the
chemistry Of his body-particularly
the action of his endocrine glands
can have an effect on how a mans
brain works, and thus on how he
behaves"
Said Col. Ash.
You can't tell from microscopic
examination of mans brain
whether he's been a big shot or not.
In fact, you can't tell genius from
an ordinary man by such tests.
The microscope would, however.

the brain-such as those present In

evidence Of such structural defects

FRANKFURT. Germany, Nov. 8.
Judge Simon Rifkind, Gen. Eisen-
hower's new adviser on Jewish mat
tiers, reported yesterday that he
found matters generally satisfactory
in five displaced persons camps for
Jews he had visited.
Without mentioning specifically
the report in which Earl G. Harri-
son told President Truman that the
United States Army was treating
Jewish displaced persons little better
than had the Nazis, Judge Rifkind
declared In an interview:
II found no barbed wire, no mill
tary guards, no restrictions on
movements of residents. The only
police I saw were appointed from
among the displaced Jews them
selves. Their health seemed good
and they all reported they had
gained weight. / heard no serious
complaints about the quantity OF
food. but there were some CON-
plants about the variety. Housing
conditions range all the way from
good to poor with none scandalous.' :
He visited camps at Landsberg
Stuttgart, Feldafing, Rahrenwald
and st. Ottilien. He said he saw
little provision for family life and
privacy and that long-term resi-
dence facilities were inadequate.
Without Palestine, the problem
Of displaced Jews in Europe is in
