heard yesterday, the city's

more special teaching. including
coaching in specific subjects and
separate classes for children who
are mentally retarded.
Glass sizes generally should
also be reduced, the group was
told.

caller twice warned the Gov

Troopers failed to find trace
Iof explosives in two thorough

Mrs. Williams said she could
not tell whether the calls came
from a man or a woman. The
voice was muffed "as if a cloth
had been put over the mouth
piece" police quoted her as
saying.
The first call came at 10 am,
Mrs. Williams told police. The
caller said the device was timed
to explode at 2 pm.
Mrs. Williams said the tipster
told her the bomb had been put
in the house on Thanksgiving
Day, two days earlier, while the
family was in Crosse Pointe
Farms outside Detroit at the
home of the Governors mother.
Mrs. Williams called State Po-

children, Nancy. Gary and Wen

Other administration propo-
