Grant Pupils
Attend Glass

Pupils at Grant School were
in class today following twin an
nouncements which called on
plans for q strike as well as
plans to close the school.
Last night. q parents group
cancelled plans to stage a strike
today when Supt. of Schools Ho-
bart M. Corning announced his
Recommendation to close the
school had been rescinded "at
this time"
Jerry T. Hart, Of 8O8 Twenty
first street NV. father Of two
children at the 75-year-old
school and leader Of the group
which threatened to strike to-
day and tomorrow said the strike
had been Cancelled "at this time
In q statement from Mr.. Hart,
read to parents last night. he
directed two questions to DR.
Corning. One asked what assur-
ance the parents could be given
that the school would not be
closed in the spring. The other
requested the superintendent to
furnish reasons for backing
down" from his original plan to
close the school.
WAS he pressured by us?" Mr.
Hart wanted to know today. I'll
he had definite reasons he should
have stuck by his guns"
The group was not backed by
the schools parent-teacher or
ganization. It's main criticism OF
the closure plan was that pupils
would be forced to cross Twenty
third street NV. a heavily trav-
|eled truck route. to get to the
Briggs Montgomery School,
which was to have replaced
Grant. located on G street be-
tween Twenty-first and Twenty
second streets NV.
Miss Mary Henderson, princi-
pal at Grant. said today there
were a few absences-''but /
think they're due to the cold
