three times and in a total OF

UNHAPPY ABOUT TRADE TALK
Musiol So Depressed,
He Nay Quit Baseball

PHILADELPHIA, June % up.
A combination of circumstances
has discouraged Stan Musial to
such an extent that he is seri-
ously thinking Of quitting base
ball at the end of the season.
Although the st. Louis Cardi-
nails all-time great would not
comment, it has been learned
from present and former team
mates that he is depressed over
recent events ranging from the
trading of his closest friend Red
Schoendienst. to his shift from
the outfield to first base.
Another major hurt, it has
been learned, stemmed from re-
ports prior to the June is trad
ing deadline of a player transac-
ton between the Cardinals and
Philadelphia involving Musial
and Robin Roberts, the Phillies
ace highlander. The Cards are
here to play the Phillies tonight.
This has been denied by Frank

manager. Lane. who has repu-

became his usual smiling self,
1t never occurred to Stan, who
for is years has been a symbol
of the great Cardinal tradition,
that he would ever be asso-
ciated with another team.
Quietly proud of his brilliant
deeds and exemplary behavior,
he felt he had earned security
and would be granted immunity
from trade. He always had
planned to end his career with

Effort to Disbund

Revived by U. S.
BY the Associated Press

The United States has re-
newed its effort to disband the
Neutral Nations Commission
which is charged with prevent
ing violations of the 3-year-old
Korean armistice.
This country and South Korea
long have contended the COM
mission has been ineffective be-
cause of blocking tactics by Com
munist North Korea.
Yesterday, Robert Murphy,
Deputy Undersecretary of State,
repeatedly told representatives of
the other Is nations which
fought in Korea that this coun-
try felt the commission clearly
has outlived it's usefulness and
should be abolished. The various
embassies agreed to forward the
American proposal to their gov
ernments.
The commission is made up of
Switzerland. Sweden and two
Communist Nations-Poland and
CzechoSlovakia. It's functions
have been limited drastically in
the last two years.

Mr.. Karrick replied that the
shift was not cut in high school
teaching stats. He said. he felt
1t was an increase in the stats
of the junior and grammar
grades. He said he was unable
to determine. at this time, what
was being done to solve the stu
alton next year. The Commits
sioner said the problem was
budgetary.

Tydings hackers feel. The or

the polls, fair weather or foul.
Another big factor that could
Influence the outcome of the
Tydings- Mahoney battle is the
size of the vote given to George
Washington Williams. one of the
'other three candidates vying for
the senatorial nomination.
Fighting Indignation
Mr.. Williams, a 70-year-old
former United States District
judge in the Virgin Islands, has
been campaigning openly on a
States rights and racial segre-
cation platform. He is the candi-
date Of the Maryland Petition
Committee, a group formed to
fight school indignation.
Some feel Mr.. Williams will
get a good vote in Southern
Maryland and the Eastern
Shore. where the school Segre-
cation issue is the hottest. II he
does, then the big question is,
which of the two major candi-
dates will he hurt the more?
The Tydings camp maintains
that Mr.. Williams will take
votes from Mr.. Mahoney.
The two other candidates for
the Democratic senatorial nomi-
nation are Thomas L. Christian
an Anne Arundel County maya
zine editor. and Andrew j.
Easter, a Washington and Bal
timore draftsmans
Senator Butler, a Baltimore
attorney, has opposition from
Earl E. Knepper, Washington
County novelty shop owner. and
Henry j. Laque, jr.. Anne
Arundel County junk dealer.
The campaign in which Mr..
Butler defeated Mr.. Tydings was
later tagged a "despicable, back
alley" type by Senate investi-
eating subcommittee, which.
nevertheless. recommended that
Mr.. Butler be seated In the
Senate.
Senator Mccarthy, Republic
can of Wisconsin. actively aided

Mr.. Tydings had tangled earlier
that year when the Marylander
investigated Senator McCarthy's

Only one Of Maryland's seven

ment has recently shown up as
most marked.
School officials contend that
a reduction of so teachers would
cripple efforts to cope with the
problem where it is most
serious. Loss of teachers, ac-
cording to administrators. would
not only dash hopes Of new
measures to intensity teaching
but cancel out those already
begun.
Deterioration Seen
The net effect. they fear, might
well be to make the city's total
achievement picture deteriorate
further.
The achievement problem has
been troubling teachers and
school administrators increas-
ingly since about a year ago.
AT that time. the school sys-
tenn obtained the results of the
first entirely uniform, city-wide
tests ever given to Washington
pupils The tests were given to
virtually all pupils on about
half of the grade levels.
These tests showed the pupils
in these grades averaging well
below national test standards.
The lags in average performance
were especially extreme in the
junior and senior high schools.
On reading tests, a fourth of
the city's beginning high school
students were three years or
more below grade level. On
arithmetic, nearly half were
three years or more below grade.
Situation Called Serious
School officials said they con-
sidered this situation very seri-

In number of schools. dur
ing the current school year, spe-
cial remedial classes have been
organized. Teachers in indi-
vidual cases have reported prog
resS in improving the work of
some school children, where they
were able to work with them
intenSively.
For the most part, however, a
check last week with a number
of school officials indicated there
has been little sign of any
marked improvement. Some prin-
cipals, in fact, reported that new
tests just completed, show a
further decline since last year
in the averages for their par
ticular schools, and a consequent
worsening of the teaching prob
lem.
Only the school systems city,

for this year have been analyzed
