Washington
Dan A. Kimball TO Resign
AS Navy UndersecretarY?
Special to Central Press

Washington = Don't be sur
prised if Dan A. Kimball re-
signs shortly as undersecretary
of the Navy. His difficulties
seem to be piling up.
Tipoff that the wind may be
blowing outward from the De-
Tense department for Kimball
came when the Navy killed a
speech he was to have delivered
at Richmond, Va.
The original Kimball speech
was highly critical and doubt
full about unification. The sub
stitute was highly laudatory
and resounding with praise for
Defense Secretary Louis john
son.
However. political observers
say that Kimball, a Californian
of Independent disposition, did
not like having his thoughts
tailored in this fashion. They
feel he may quit.
To top it off, Vice Admiral
John D. Price and Rear Ad-
miral Thomas B. Inglis got
Kimball in further hot water
the next day.
Price and Inglis both told a
Navy court of inquiry flatly
that no investigation was ever
requested or made of the "anon-
ymous document attacking the
B-36 bomber program, which
was written by Kimball's assist
ant, Cedric r. Worth.
Kimball had said he request
ed navy intelligence to investi-
gate as soon as he learned of
the document. Fact was he had
discussed looking into the mat
ter with Price, and this might
have been interpreted as a re-
quest to investigate.
However, Price preferred to
stick to the more substantial
fact = that the navy was not
interested in investigations and
was Fundamentally hoping that
the matter would 'blow over"

Letters
TEACHERS OBJECT
The Editors

q &S-NCA
The Chronicle Star
Gentlemen: -
We do not know where you are
getting your information for your
attacks on the school teachers Of
Mississippi but we do know that
it is time someone set you
straight. The teachers have not
kept silent because of guilt but
rather we have chosen to ignore
your mountain that you've made
out of a mole-hill. You have chcs-
en- the minor point Of the PR
posed plan to dwell on.
The faculty of Wade High
school attended the mass meet
ing of teachers in Lucedale, where
this program was discussed for
almost three hours. During that
time the examination feature was
not mentioned more than three
times and then it was only to
discuss the makeup of the test
and the system as it is used now
in South Carolina. The keys to
the examination were sold for
$4,000 and $500 respectively for
an A grade and B grade. That
could happen in Mississippi
There was an objection raised
TO the examination coming from
New OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES like
Mississippi examinations. Not one
objection was raised TO taking the
examination. Why should there
be. as even those in the lowest
bracket would stand to gain a
salary boost of about S400 per
year. In talking with teachers
from other schools we have not
found n who is afraid to take
such an examination. We believe
that the majority of Mississippi
teachers would welcome such a
system as we would have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose.
These are the objections of the
teachers: () The legislature has
not appropriated the extra $4,-
300 900 needed to put the pro-
gram into force. The two state
representatives and the senator
present at the Lucedale meeting
told us that they did not know
how such an extra amount could
be provided. (2) If the teachers
voted for such a program and the
state lost the suit now pending
concerning the equalization of a
Negro teachers salary, the state
would be forced to equalize sal
aries whether it had the extra
appropriation or not. This would
cut the salary of every white
teacher. This statement came
from a lawyer who is a member
of the state legislature.
The teachers who met at Luce
dale expressed a desire for equal
ization of pay for teachers of
equal training and ability regard
less of color. They agreed that
the examination program would
be fine after the money to set IL
up has been appropriated. They
do not care to risk their few lit
tie gains in salary because they
have been too long in getting
what they have. They all agreed
that the whole program was just
lodging the issue" and pass
ing the buck"
Before you funk out the dead
wood, the removal of some lead
would be a big assistance in help
ing you editors stir around to see
what is really happening.
Yours very truly,
Teachers of Wade High School.
