Urued in All Schools

The special, tilted desks used in
the sight-saving classrooms at
Adams Elementary School would be
beneficial in all District schools,

nell, principal Of the school.
Mrs. Cornell, addressing the an
nual meeting Of the District Society
for the Prevention of Blindness at
the YWCA, explained yesterday that
the desks in the special classes can
be raised on an incline to aid chill
dren with faulty vision.
Another sight aid which could be
put to good use in other classes, she
said, is a large-print dictionary.
She recommended that the special
instruction rooms have light colored
boards-replacing blackboards-with
dark chalk used because 1t makes
reading easier. Mrs. Cornell praised
availability Of scholarships which
allow special training Of teachers to
deal with faulty vision in children.
DR.. Carl E. Rice Of the Public
Health Service urged the group to
consider a survey here to study. needs
for treating those with faulty vision.
Miss Helen c. Demary, executive

early next year she plans to super
wise vision tests for all pre-school
age children in District day-care
centers and settlement home nursery
schools. She also reviewed other

Southern Democrats
Plan Militant Action
AT Convention Today
By the Associated Press

+ JACKSON. Miss, May 8.-Demo-
Gratis in revolt against President
Truman's civil rights program open
their political convention here
tomorrow.
Delegates to the States rights
Democratic convention are expected
from some 15-States representing
about third Of the total Electoral
College vote.
Mississippi Gov Fielding L.
Wright, sponsor of the States rights
movement. said III pre-convention
interview that the convention would
take militant action" against the
national Democratic party.
The States rights movement de-
veloped from Southern objections to
the civil rights program, and has
grown to include other administra-
ton measures regarded as invasions
of States rights.
Specific Objective Unknown.
No specific objective for the con-
vention has been announced, but
States rights leaders have said
privately that the convention would
likely issue an ultimatum to the
national Democratic party to back
down from its support of the civil
rights program.
At the same time. they said they
did not expect a change in party
policy, and would plan to walk out
at the national convention and call
separate convention to nominate
a candidate for president. South
Carolina Gov j. Strom Thurmond
Mondays keynote speaker and
Senator George of Georgia have
been mentioned as possible nomi-
nees.
None of the 1900 delegates will
carry official State party status,
though some occupy official State
party positions. Invitations were
extended ito all volunteer Demo-
Gratis supporting States rights
principles. Mississippi is the only
State where the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee has taken official
action backing the movement.
Delegates will be asked to sign
pledge cards stating that they are
in sympathy with the anti-civil
rights movement and pledging 10y
atty to the States rights movement
Laney May Be Named Head.
Arkansas Gov. Ben Laney is ex-
pected to be named permanent
chairman Of the convention.
Among those participating in pre-
convention planning over the week
end are Democratic Executive Com
mitteemen Arthur L. Adams of Ar
