President Tito, Vice President
Edward Kardelj, Foreign Min

there was no public demonstra-

Unusual security measures
blocked off the airport to the
public. All onlookers could see
was a cavalcade of automobiles,
headed by Marshal Tito's blue
Ijacketed motorcycle guard,
whisking Mr.. Khrushchev away
from the airport.
Judging from the number Of
cars, a party of Soviet officials
must have accompanied Mr..

! Mr.. Dulles said membership

first Suez conference to join the

for international control of the

Sees U. N. Plea Possible
Mr.. Dulles figures that Egyp-
tian refusal would give grounds
for a resolution in the United
Nations charging Egypt with
violating the 1888 Constantine
pie convention guaranteeing
freedom of navigation through
the waterway.
Skepticism and some opposi-
ton to the Big Three proposal
was evident as the Foreign
Ministers and other special
ENJOYS assembled. Only the Big
Three seemed to have good
working idea of the scheme.

Potomac Dam
Bill Siqned

President Eisenhower yester-

Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. to
build a dam across the north
branch of the Potomac River
south of Cumberland, Md.
The dam will be paid for by
the company and will furnish
power for the company's big
plant in Allegany County, Md.
due to be completed next year.
The measure was sponsored
in Congress by Senator Beall
and Representative Hyde, both
Republicans of Maryland.
The plant is expected to en-
ploy 1000 persons.
A somewhat similar bill to
authorize the Potomac Electric
Power Co. to build a dam across
the Potomac near Dickerson to
cool generators of the big steam
power plant of PEPCO proposed
for that area, was blocked in the
closing days of the recent 84th
Congress.
This bill is expected to be
brought up again in the 85th
Congress.

BY G. o. HERNDON

Last year. in Montgomery
County. a little boys gasp of de-
light at his own ingenuity pro-
vided a teacher one of those
moments of intense qualification
teachers live for.
The boy. pupil in an upper
elemntary grade. was one of Ais
youngsters in the county who
were aided by special reading
instruction last year.
Unlike others faced with the
same problem, this young pupil
had accepted his reading slow
ness. The flaw. he thought, was
permanent. and he had decided
not to worry about it. After weeks
Of remedial reading instruction,
the boy suddenly began to COM
prehend the basic skillS of
reading.
According to Mrs. Mary Moh-
Ter. co-ordinator of special read
ing services for the Montgomery
County school system, "he was
the most amazed boy in the world
when he realized he could read. "
Help for 45O
In the fall of 1855, county ele-
mentary school principals listed
800 children they thought needed
extra help in reading. OF these,
$50 were tested, and the AIS were
those who could be given help
with available personnel.
Thousands Of youngsters are
classified as poor readers in the
Metropolitan Area of Washing
ton. They are in a group clearly
distinct from students regarded
as handicapped or retarded. The
poor readers usually have better
than average ability in other
fields.
In the United States, an esti-
mated 4 million youngsters fall
IN the poor reader" category.
Educators have become increas-
ingly aware OF the nature Of
this problem in the last four
or FIVE years and are making a
greater effort to provide remedial
instruction.
A completely reorganized pro-
gram for children who have
trouble with printed words IS
being prepared In Montgomery
County. now in preparation for
the fall term. A reading clinic
will be established at Mont
gomery Junior College on the
second floor Of a newly remod-
eled building there. several rooms
will be provided for the analysis
Of reading problems in school
children and for their treatment
In some cases.
In addition. remedial reading
teachers who taught last years
special classes will be augmented
by two additional teachers.
Five additional reading teach
ers were planned for the 1856

Besides the clinic, the new

reading centers.
Last years program was the
first in which the special read
ing classes were set UP on a
large scale in the county. Pro-
gresS reported for the AIS pupils
was gratifying. Their average
growth in reading achievement
was equal to a one-year rise in
ability level. Some of the stu
dents learned TO read at levels
two or three years above their
rating at the beginning Of the
year.
Montgomery's increasing &C
tivity in this respect is reflec-
ton Of similar efforts through.
out the Metropolitan Area.
