mentary schools. Even some
strike leaders said they thought
the changes had worked out
acceptably.
The success Of integrated
athletic teams was one factor
credited by high school principals
for a favorable student attitude
AS usual. schools had disci-
pline problems. sometimes more
than normal. Some principals
found it necessary to assign
more teachers to supervisory
duty. Conduct usually was re-
ported improved by the end Of
the year, however.
Students pretty generally
grouped themselves racially in
Junior and senior high cafeterias,
and social activities in some
schools were curtailed. But prin-
cipals reported hardly any in
stances of unfriendly conduct
with any racial motivation.
Negro secondary teachers
often won favorable comment
from students.
In general, administrators felt
that student adjustment to the
changed situation in claSsroomS
and many school activities
worked out surprisingly well.
Discouraging Factors
There are some facts which
offset those which school Off
cials regard as encouraging.
Teachers during the year en-
countered marked differences in
background and school achieve
ment.
Supt. Hobart NJ. Corning re-
Gently stated that high stand
ards had been maintained. He
announced. however, that ex-
tensive plans are being made
for remedial teaching and other
measures this fall to speed
achievement of some students.
Differences In promotion and
marking practices, disciplinary
philosophy and teaching have
been discovered, which the
school system also plans to study
and seek to 1ectify.
officials believe these differ
ences can be coped with success
fully. but they are aware that
it will require time.
To some in the community,
the present integration program
has not been fully acceptable.
Some have said that the pro-
gram has moved too fast and
has caused hardship to many
pupils. They have argued that
children should not be required
to attend any school where they
are an extreme minority. En-
Some families moved away
from a particular neighborhood.
Last fall. officials reported a de-
cline in total white enrolment
somewhat more marked than
normal, and they said integra-
ton might have been a factor in
this decline.
DR.. Corning pointed out, how
ever. that many Washington
families for several years have
been moving to the suburbs.
Some children also transferred
to private or parochial schools.
but no unusually heavy enroll
.ent in such schools has been
reported.
On the opposite side, some have
said integration has not moved
fast enough. Some have called
the reorganization a "one-way
street." because Of the relatively
small number of white students
enrolled to date in former all
Negro schools.
The school board, however. has
shown no disposition to make
changes.

May Face Deserter Trial
Both soldiers had been missing
since l948 and may be tried as
deserters. They were under guard
today in the Army hospital until
medical examinations are COM
pleted.
The three said they knew
nothing about a report that
another American by the name
OF Grishman was in Soviet hands
and was about to be released.
The report came from Austrian
repatriates in Vienna last week.
officials said that Hopkins ap-
parently had some reason for
clouding his past and they had
not yet discovered what it was.

and talks like an American"
He added:
I THE Russians probably knew
more about him than we do at
this point and they don't make
mistakes on such things"
! In "Fair Condition"
/ Army doctors said a prelim-
} mary examination indicated the
two soldiers are slightly under
weight but in fair" condition.
The doctors withheld further
details until completion of a
:. thorough checkup.
:. Army spokesmen said it was
, presumed all three had been held
Il in various slave labor camps for
the past seven years.
:. The three were turned over to
"a United States State Depart
ment official, A. E. Dubois, at the
Soviet consulate In East Berlin
The Russians had said earlier they
would be released at Karlchorst
and a United States naison team
had gone there to get them.
! Mr.. Dubois, who had gone to
the Consulate to pick up a visa,
was stopped by a Soviet official
who said:
BY the way. will you sign this
receipt for these three Amer

: Mr.. Dubois signed and took the
three to the United States pro-
iyost marshal's Office in West Ber-
lin. They were arrested imme-
diately and sent to an Army
hospital for examination. Cumish
and Fields said they needed med
lical attention. Hopkins said he
was In good health.
| All three are scheduled to be
screened by Army interrogators
! after several days medical treat
ment.
Face Questioning
The Army indicated that both
soldiers might be subject to
court@martial for desertion. j. In
1 view of cumish's military INTEL
lligence work, officials were anx-
Iious to learn what he might
Ihave told the Russians during

Students Are Urqed
To Apply Al Once
For Vacation Jobs

The key to the social security
insurance system is the social Sc
curity account number.
Students Of high schools, voca-
tional schools and colleges are
urged to apply for their account
number if they plan to work dur
ing vacation periods or part-time
work while attending school.
Harold D. Smith, manager of the
Phoenix social security office, says
that many business firms require
the account number before q per-
son is hired. The employer and
employee share the responsibility
of having the correct number re-
ported on tax returns.
Smith says, Remember that you
or your family may lose future
benefit payments if your number
or name is incorrectly reported
Don't rely on your memory. Keep
your account number card with
you at all times. Show it to your
employer when necessary. If you
need help, get in touch with the
social security office"
