Five Directions
A satirical play some years
ago included a bustling. ener-
getic cavalry officer who
"leaped upon his horse and
rode off in all directions.
Contemporary painting today
seems to be doing the same
thing: for whereas In earlier
decades, observers could iden-
tify a few dominant trends,
now there seem to be nearly
as many kinds of expression
as there are artists.

School Officials Back
Sex Education Films

Arlington school officials yes
terday released two statements
supporting the controversial sex
education films.
The films have been tempo
rarily shelved because of criti-
ciSm presented by three county
citizens, including County Board
Member Robert A. Peck, to a
State legislative committee last
Friday.
The School Board released a
letter from the National Educa-
ton Association, saying that the
film, Human Reproduction" the
one shown in Richmond, "has
been used in thousands of Ameri-
can schools during the last six
years"
Also issued by the board was
a statement by DR.. Claire A.
Christman, director of the school
health department.
DR.. Christman said the films
were introduced in Arlington in
1948. During the school year
1948-49, II Parent-Teacher As
Sociations saw the films, in
Guiding Human Reproduction. 4"
Human Beginnings" and "Hu-
man Growth have been shown
in some elementary schools after
parents have viewed them. the
school physician said. If a parent
objects, his child is not present
during the showing.
II u m IAN Reproduction" is
shown to all high school students
in the 10th, 18th and 18th grades.
The film Is shown in health
classes, in groups of all boys or
ali girls.

Bill for State POLICING
Of School Sex Films
Being Modified
By Alex R. Preston
Star Stoff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Feb, 26.-A bill
to prohibit the showing of sex
education films in public schools
without prior approval by the
State Department of Education
today was modified by a House
subcommittee.
The Education Committee de-
cided revisions we're necessary
while a group of II Arlington
civic, PTA and school leaders
went before Gov. Stanley to
defend the county's school sys-
tenn from charges made by three
citizens last week.
Committee Chairman Harry
Davis said the bill, which he CO.
sponsored along with the Arling-
ton House delegation after last
weeks testimony, would be
amended SO it would not require
the State Board of Education to
act as a censor on all films used.
But. Mr.. Davis said, an at
tempt would be made to change
the law so local school boards
would be more restricted in the
choice of films.
The film was shown to the
Education Committee last week
by Robert Peck, Republican
member of the Arlington County
Board; Thomas j. Broyhill and
w. L. Bragg, sr.
Calling on Governor.
Those who called on the Gov
ernor yesterday were:
Clyde Merriman. president,
and William G. Watt, Executive
committee chairman of the Ar
lington Civic Federation; James
G. Stockard. president; Mrs.
Robert gilbert. vice president,
and George Wood, legislative
chairman, of the Arlington
Council of Parent Teacher Asso-
Citations.
Also Arlington Schools Supt.
Edward Rutter, John L. Palmer,
president of the Arlington Edu-
cation Association; Arthur E.
Young, chairman of the Com
munity Council on Instruction;
Mrs. Cromwell A. Riches, educa-
ton chairman. and Mrs. Ray
mond F. Pellissier, legislative
chairman of the American Asso-
citation of University Women,
and Irving F. Schwartz. vice
chairman of the Citizens Com
mittee for School Improvement.
Interviewed on Meeting.
When the citizens delegation
ended a 45-minute session with
the Governor, reporters inter-
viewed each member on what had
occurred.
AT meeting at which all
attended, this was part of he
impression left with reporters:
Gov. Stanley had no idea of
the local controversy created by
last weeks appearance here by
Mr.. Peck, Mr.. Broyhill and Mr..
Bragg.
The Governor was surprised
about press reports that Mr..
Broyhill had quoted him as being
right much shocked" about con-
ditions in Arlingtons schools.
The Governor disclaimed ex-
pressing any opinion to- the
earlier group. and he did not
express an opinion to the group
that met with him yesterday.
The citizens said they made a
point of emphasizing that the
PTA of each school determines
whether the non-competitive
method Of rating on report cards
shall be used. In other words.
the question is left up to the
parents.

Bluff Seen in Moscow Threat
OF Big East German Army

sive measures amounting almost
to a draft Of German youth have
managed only to balance out the
assertions to the West. These
assertions now total 1900
more than i fun division since
1851.
3. Imposition Of q draft for
expanding the army would be q
highly dangerous move for the.
East zone Reds. making the
army even more unpopular than
it is now.
4. The ambitious economic
program in the Soviet zone,
soaking up all available man.
power and still thirsting for
more, would be dealt q body blow
by siphoning OF the young and
able bodied for military training.
Allied military officers here
said that what is more logical Is
Czech Premier Vilein Siroky's
proposal at the Moscow meeting
for a combined command of the
Eastern bloc armed forces. A
senior authority said the Czech
was putting into words what
actually has been on paper in
the Red Army files for some
time.
