For TruveI Aides
By JACK JONAS

Thirteen young men and
women from Washington are
hard at work this week, tour
ing the vacation spots Of vir-
ginia. &
It's part of their job. They're
learning how to tell Washing
ton people where to go.
The 10 are in training to
be travel counselors for the
American Automobile Associ-
alton Office here, and since
March ! they've been In class,
learning about the wonder
lands of East, West, North
and South.
Now, with the help of the
Virginia Travel Council, they
are getting a closeup of some
of the places they've heard
about.
At their final class session
before their trip began, Jack
S. Stephenson, manager Of the
AAA travel department, had a
few words of advice on adviS-
ing others. He was covering
New England.
"Never call the White Noun
tains spectacular" he said.
Beautiful, yes-even lovely.
But not spectacular. Reserve
spectacular for the Rockies.
This matter of vocabulary Is
very important"

ID. c. Employment
Drops in Month,
But Exceeds 1855

Employment here continued
its moderate midwinter decline
last month but stayed about
1880 jobs ahead of the same
period last year, the United
States Employment Service for
the District reported today.
Total employment was esti-
mated at $4,000 in February,
compared with $4,000 in Janu-
airy and $4,000 in February q
year ago." the report said.
The drop last month was ex-
planned as stemming from con-
tinued curtailment in retail
trade. Contrary to the seasonal
pattern, gains occurred in con-
|struction, public utilities, service
establishments and Government,
the report added.

4-Lone Schools Tailored
To Ability Slated Here

District high schools will be-
gin a new four-lane curriculum
next fall tailored to the differing
capabilities of students.
Assistant School Supt. Carl F.
Hansen announced the plan
yesterday. He said it will affect
10th graders next school year,
the 10th and 18th grades the
following year, and 10th. 18th
and 18th graders the year after
that.
DR.. Hansen likened the pro-
gram to a four-lane highway
permitting brighter pupils to
leave the slow lane and travel
one Of the other lanes.
Vocational Schools Excepted
The first year will be a test
of the plan, he said, but "the
experimental aspects should not
Ibe overemphasized." He said he
expects the new curriculum to
be in force in all three top
grades according to schedule.
DR.. Hansen said the plan
would not apply to vocational
schools.
He said the plan was not
drafted as a rebuttal to District
Commissioner Thomas A. Lanes
proposal for mass demotions OF
slow students. We've had it in
the works since last May" he
said.
A student in one of the slower
lanes will be switched to a faster
lane when he proves his ability
to manage the speedier course,
DR.. Hansen said.
Outline of Curriculum
DR.. Hansen said the four lanes
will include:
l. A curriculum aimed at en-
couraging gifted youngsters pre-
pairing for college. 1t will en-
phasize the academic program
and permit the students to push
ahead as rapidly as possible.
2. One similar to the present
college preparatory course, for
average students who intend to
|go to college. This lane will in
|clude some bright students who,
for various reasons, do not wish
to work in the speediest lane.
3. A study system for the aver
age or better student who does
not plan to attend college. This
lane will resemble the present
terminal program.
4. A basic, remedial course for
the slow learner.
More Incentive Seen
DR.. Hansen said school au-
thorities hope the new program
will give brighter pupils more
incentive to learn. since they
won't be held back by slower
learners.

said officials realize that some
parents will be unwilling to
accept the rating their children
receive. And he said mistakes in
such placements are inevitable
and will have to be corrected.
The teacher shortage will hand
leap the speediest lane classes
and the slowest lane, he said,
because small classes are most
essential in those divisions. There
will also be a problem in obtain

remedial courses, he said.

The Association of Oldest In
habitants wants the Interna-
tional Monetary Fund to raise its
offer from $4,000 to $4,000 to
settle the old Union Fire Engine
House controversy.
The associations executive
board has authorized Vice Pres
ident Herbert P. Leeman to meet
with Fund officials in an effort
to reach a compromise. The
Fund wants to erect its new
building on the engine house
site.
Under the program as out
lined, the association would
agree to vacate the old fire
house at Nineteenth and H
streets NV. Immediately. The
$4,000 would enable the asso-
citation to purchase its own lot
preferably on Pennsylvania ave-
nue., near the present site. On
this the historic building would
be regretted.
Would Drop legislation
In exchange for the higher
figure from the Fund, the asso-
citation would agree to with
drawal of legislations pending IL,
Congress to give the organiza-
ton permanent possession of the
building on its present site.
Meanwhile. if the Fund agreed
to Mr.. Leeman's proposal
which some observers conside,

old fire house, would be stored

tee today sent an amended ver-
sion of the Jones Point Bridge
measure to the House floor which
would prevent construction OF

section of Alexandria.
| At the same time. the COM
mittee voted to transfer jurisdic-
ton of the bridge construction
from the Interior Department to
the Commerce Departments Bu-
'reau of Public Roads.

measure was one of a number
sof District bills sent to the

of the span.
If this bill becomes law, it may
clear the way for Congressional
approval of $13.8 million for
construction of the crossing.
Funds were knocked out of the

ton bill by the House, because
of the pending legislation for
