Citizen Groups Urge
3O-PupiI Limif on Size
OF School Classes
By jones G. Deone

L + b
Smaller classes may be on the
horizon for District grade schools
III the school system can get
enough money.
Spokesman for eight parent
and civic organizations yesterday
urged the Board Of Education to
cut its standard pupil-teacher
ratio In elementary schools from
S6-to-1 to 30-to-1. Several urged
a 25-to-1 ratio in the lowest
grades.
Corning Indorses Idea.
Supt. Hobart M. Corning
promptly Endorsed the idea, as
serting 1t would lay the ground-
work for seeking adequate ap.
preparations" He did not esti.
mate the cost.
Mrs. Frank r. Strope, presi-
dent Of the District Congress Of
Parents and Teachers, and Mrs.
John F. Latimer. president Of the
District League Of Women Voters.
were among those who appeared
before the board to urge the
change.
Mrs. Roberta s. Barnes, prin-
cipal Of the Truesdell Labora-
tory School and education
committee chairman of the Ele-
mentary Principals Association,
also spoke in behalf of the pro-
poSal.
Called Schools Greatest Need.
Mrs. Strope said smaller
classes are "the greatest need
in the Washington schools"
Evening star., 1954-04-22

She cited a recommendation in
the 1949 report Of DR.. George D.
Strayer, who surveyed the Dis
trict schools, for a maximum
class-size of 80 pupils.
Mrs. Latimer told the board
that 10000 of the city's ele-
mentary pupils-a large ma
jority--are in classes that are
too big. Mrs. Barnes asserted
that only 145 classes, or per
cent Of the total, are now at
80 pupils or below. She said the
District is now second among
18 big cities for big classes.
Oversize classes, Mrs. Barnes
asserted, increase juvenile de-
linquency and the need for
remedial work" with school
children.
Offers 4-Year Program.
She proposed a four-year pro-
gram starting next fall, under
which an immediate limit Of 35
would be put on all classes and
the further reduction to 80
would occur on this schedule:
Immediately for kindergartens
and first grades.
In 1866 for second and
third grades.
In 1867 for fourth and
fifth grades.
In 1878 for sixth grades.
Mrs. j. L. Steele, legislative
chairman of the Eaton PTA.
urged a reduction to a ratio Of
Is pupils to teacher In kinder
garten and first grade. The
present 36 is far too big for good
education, she asserted. N.
Meyer Baker. of the Janney PTA.
advocated the 30-pupil maxi
mum, but said Is would be more
desirable.
Others who argued for smaller
classes were Mrs. l.. Arthur Wey-
man, president of the Truesdell
PTA; Mrs. Edward j. Sloane,
Beers PTA, and Mrs. Eli Frank
feldt, chairman of the commit
tee on school surveys Of Area F.
Commissioners Youth Council.
Shocked at Neglect.
Mrs. Frankfeldt, besides COM
menting on class sizes, said she
was shocked at the neglect Of
children with reading difficulties.
She urged extension Of remedial
reading clinics and hiring OF
more counselors.
Mrs. Frankfeldt won hearty
applause from q throng OF par
ents when she asserted that
many children do not need his
tory. science and such subjects,
because they don't know how
to read"
DR.. Corning already is under
instructions from the school
board to report on the feasibility
Of cutting the official class-size
standard.
The superintendent said 1t
would require 1913 more teachers
to establish a maximum 30-pupil
class size at present. More class
rooms also would be needed. he
pointed out.

Why Jordan's Bacon
Tastes Different

Jordan's Old Fashioned Vir.
ginia Bacon is cured for 10
to IL days by an old English
cure in dry salt and sugar. Then
it is smoked over hand tended
hickory fires kept going day and
night until the juices drip and
the pungent hickory smoke per.
meates the meat
But the cure and the smoking
are not the only reasons for Jor-
dams distinctive taste. Time it
self is q part Of it. Whereas
ordinary bacon may be on the
hoof one day and on your table
two days later, the prolonged
curing and smoking Of Jordan's
Bacon extends over two weeks.
And the patient magic Of time
imparts q distinctive flavor that
never can be matched in
"quickies". Look for Jordan's
Old Fashioned Virginia Bacon
in boxes.

news to the Board of Edu-
cation yesterday. He cred
tied it to an anti-vandalism

Mr.. Riecks didn't submit

Faces
Grim Winter
Nv RICHARD o.REcAN

VIENNA R Mine million Hun
garians face a grim winter. There
are long lineups for coal and wood
and the government admits many
will 90 without heat. There are
lines for meat, butter and fat.
An indignant mother wrote a
B udapest newspaper: Winter
coats for 2-year-olds are not to
be bought anywhere.
The trouble in Hungary, diplo-
mats here say, is crisis in its
new look" policy of trying to pro-
vide consumer goods. To carry out
this plan, the Communists are
turning the country's entire econ
omy upside down. They did it once
before when they took over in 1949.
Then, they set out to make central
Europe's biggest granary into an
industrial giant.
Now that's been all thrown over
board and they are going in re-
verse, all the way back to making
Hungary an agricultural country
with emphasis on consumer goods
instead Of on heavy iron and steel.
The result, the diplomats say.
is that the entire economy doesn't
know where it is going. Neither do
the people.
Production of all kinds seems to
be standing still as the entire econ
omy is being shifted, as retooling
takes place, as workers are re-
trained and reassigned.
Thousands Of persons have been
thrown out Of jobs recently in an
effort to reduce bureaucracy.
Many of these are without any
form Of relief, and others have
been forced to take lower-paid
jobs, causing discomfort. A gov-
ernment effort to force those fired
to 60 to work on farms or in
mines appears to have failed.

Small Area
Looms Large
In News Today
BY SPENCER MoosA


TAIPEH, Formosa LR-The most
dangerous real estate in the world
today has q total area q less than
200 square miles.
1t consists of Nationalist held
islands just off the Red China
coast, some within easy shellinQ
distance Of mainland guns.
They range from the Tachens-
where Communist torpedo boats
sank a Nationalist DESTROYER es-
cort Sunday-to Quemoy, $50 miles
to the south.
The Reds easily could attack
these islands. If they do and the
Nationalists fight as they have
vowed to, there will be carnage
An undisclosed element is whether
the US. 7th Fleet would intervene.
American policy is, to keep the
Reds guessing.
The only Nationalist territory the
United States openly has commit
ted itself to protect is Formosa and
such satellite islands as the Pes.
cadores, which are in the Formo-
sa defense zone. The offshore
islands are outside this zone. Yet
for $50 miles they lie along the
Communist coastline.
Southern anchor is Quemoy,
only six miles from the Red-held
island where the city of Annoy is
located. This situation is only 100
miles across the Formosa Strait
from Formosa. The Quemoy gar
rison includes some 1,50O former
prisoners of war from Korea.
The Communists began a series
OF bombardments Of Quemoy Sept.
3, but this time did not repeat their
invasion attempt of 1s49 when they
suffered heavy losses.
The northernmost outpost con-
sists of the Tachen Islands, which
unlike Quemoy are deep water
islands with rugged shores easily
defended except against air attack.
They are garrisoned by upwards
Of 1000 troops.
In between the Tachens and Que
moy are the White Dog and Matsu
groups dominating the mouth of
the Min River on which the Fukien
provincial capital is located.
No one in Taipeh doubts that
Nationalist determination to hold
these islands, and Communist de-
termination to liquidate them,
combine to create the most ex-
plosive potential since the Nation
alists took refuge on Formosa in
1949.

Russia, terming Soviet feelers in
that direction Trojan horse tactic
aimed at winning time for Russian
