Montgomery County Negroes

the National Association for the

said yesterday.
However, the NAACP official
said his group will not press for

crowded.
If. on the other hand, a colored
child is turned away from a

admit him. court action may be
taken, according to Alphonzo
Lee, executive secretary of the
Montgomery chapter of the
NAACP.
Mr.. Lee made his statement
because, he said, anti-integra-

idea about a letter he wrote last

said they mistakenly construed
his letter to imply that Negroes

Senator'S Beall
And Butler Hit
Burke Site Bill
By CHARLES YARBRoUGH

I More criticism of proposals to
build second Washington air.
lport at Burke. Va, came from
Capitol Hill yesterday.
| The proposal, strongly backed
by a Senate aviation subcommit-
tee, goes before the full Com
merce committee Wednesday, ac-
companied by request for inn
mediate action on a crash pro-
gram" of construction that would
halve the time originally esti-
mated for completion.
Senator Butler, Republican of
Maryland, in a weekend press
release, declared that the Com
merce Department should not
permit the attempted intimida-
ton by a small Senate subcom-
mittee to force hasty, ill-advised
and indefensible action :"
The Senator is one of the
strongest proponents of the use
of Baltimore's Friendship Inter-
national Airport as a second
Washington field.
Without an "unmistakable
mandatae from Congress, the
Commerce Department would be
foolish to repudiate the recon-
lamentations of President EiSen-
hower's advisory committee on
Ion the use of Friendship" he
said.
1855 Advisory Recalled
In early 1855, the President
approved the advisory committee
report, which included recon-
Imendation from then Budget
director Rowland Hughes. It
proposed the use of Friendship
Jas supplementary to Washing
ton National.
But it also pointed out that
Friendship is not necessarily a
Ilong-range solution. At the time
the White House said President
EEisenhower's approval was ten
Iporary."
Senator Monroney, Democrat
Iof Oklahoma, chairman of the
aviation subcommittee, said 1.-THE
Iairlines have had since 1851, the
completion date of Friendship,
Ito make scheduled stops called
Baltimore Washington.
But" Senator Monroney
added, II know of none-pro-
Igressive as they are-who has
chosen to use Friendship for that
purpose"
Senator Beall Attacks
The second attack on the
Burke site came from Senator
Beall, Republican of Maryland.
In a press release and message
to constituents, he declared that
"the main argument advanced
by the Burke advocates is that
an airport there would save Is
to 20 minutes of ground-travel
time to ana from the Capital.
II, for one. refuse to admit
that a quarter of an hour can
justify a multi-million dollar ex-
penditure for an airfield which
would only add to the crowded
traffic already in the skies over
Washington" Senator i Beall
added.

Public Reaction

Report Cards
Report What!

A panel Of educators agreed
yesterday that the Districts re-
port card system breaks down
because of the human factor
the teacher.
One panelist said the grades
going home to parents mean only
what each individual teacher
thinks they mean. with no re-
lation to standard grading
policy.
Anselm Fisher, mathematics
teacher in the public schools
here, said some of the teachers
in higher math courses had come
to the conclusion that any grade
given students completing the
general math course meant only
one thing-the student had
taken the course.
There is no correlation be-
tween the grade given and the
actual achievement of the stu
dent" he said.
Unions Took Part
The reporting problem was one
of the topics in which more than
100 local educators, parents and
labor union leaders participated
Sponsored by the Washington
Central Labor Union and the
D. c. Industrial Council, the con-
ference dealt with local educa-
ton problems.
The report card problem was
brought into the panel discussion
on promotion standards in the
schools by Albert c. Tayman Of
1912 Carpenter street Sc, who
was not a panel member. He
questioned the wisdom of listing
on report cards the interpreta-
ton of a &C" grade as good"
Panel chairman, DR.. Rowland
F. Kinks, a school board men,
Der, said ne considered education
discipline "in its strictest
sense" He said standards must
be set for achievement at each
grade level If the graduate stu
dents diploma is to mean any,
thing.
Agreement Reached
The panel reached general
agreement that some standards
must be set for class achieve
ment but they should not be so
high that they would be unat-
tainable for the slow students.
Nor should they be too low to be
a sufficient challenge for the
more capable students, the group
said.
Another panel discussing what
schools should do for children
agreed that the forgotten chill
dren" in local public schools are
the exceptionally gifted on the
one hand and the slow learners
on the other. The panel said that
special classes are needed in such
cases. This panel also felt that
the schools have been forced to
accept too many of the families
responsibilities.
A third panel recommended
that parents not permit their
children a free rein in viewing
television at home. The exercise
of parental restraint and direc-
ton in the choosing of good pro-
grams for children is necessity.
the group said.

Faint Stirriinq
.0f Business
|Upturn Seen
BY WALTER BREEDE, JR.
Associated Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, Mar. 10.- You
could see faint but unmistakable
signs of a spring upturn this
week in several key lines of
business.
There was increased activity
in the construction field. Fac
tories which had been laying OF
workers started hiring them
back. On the retail front, in
|creasing business was reported
by apparel merchants, furniture
stores and appliance dealers.
More and more it became ap-
parent that consumer buying
attitudes this spring would have
Ia lot to do with the health Of
the economy through 1856.
In the auto industry, where
the inventory problem had been
most acute, there were signs this
week of improvement.
Best guess was that new car
inventories had fallen to about
$50, 900 from the February / rec
ord high of 856,665. At 10000,
stocks of unsold new auto
mobiles would still be about
three times as large as they
were a year ago.
Freight carloadings at latest
count were the highest for any
week since the start of year.
Steel output in the week ended
March 3 was the second highest
lin history at 2,459, 900 tons. An
Iall-time high was set for bust
ness loans by New York banks.
