Pupil Assigning
Here Likened 10
Virginia Plan
Coolidge Principal
Tells House Probe
About -Four Tracks
BY JAMES G. DEANE
and DON S. WARREN

A high school principal today
identified new system of group
ing pupils in Washington high
schools as a kind of pupil
assignment plan" similar to that
under consideration in Virginia
for evading racial indignation.
The label was agreed to by
Cedric o. Reynolds, principal of
Calvin Coolidge High School,
under questioning by Represent
alive. Broyhill, Republican of
Virginia.
Mr.. Reynolds described to q
congressional investigating COM
mittee a new plan under which
beginning students in his school
are being assigned this fall to
four different tracks"
The tracks are honors. college
preparatory, general and basic.
The basic course is for slow
students.
Gives No Racial Breakdown
Mr.. Reynolds, whose school
has very few Negro pupils, did
not give a racial breakdown on
the new pupil assignments.
Mr.. Broyhill, a signer of the
so-called Southern manifesto
against school indignation, asked
whether the plan was not a
form of pupil assignment plan
for grouping school children ION
a basis other than racial discrim-
nation"
Mr.. Reynolds agreed that it
was.
Mr.. Reynolds school has an
estimated go to IS colored stu
dents. 1t had only 20 colored
students last year.
Committee Counsel William
Gerber asked how the colored
students compared with the
white in their school work. Mr..
Reynolds said that on the aver
age they rated lower.
Some youngsters who came in
last year from Negro schools
with honor marks failed courses
at Coolidge, he said.
Two Groups in 10th Grade
The school has had to set up
two classes of tenth graders this
fall in the new basic course, he
said. These youngsters are be-
low the sixth grade level in
reading and arithmetic and also
have low intelligence test scores.
He didn't say how many of the
81 students assigned to the two
classes are colored.
Mr.. Reynolds told the commit
tee the two classes "are not COM
posed entirely of colored stu
dents. There are many white
students in them, too"

TOO, 900 Expected

By GARRETT D. HORNER
Star STAFF Correspondent

NEWTON, Iowa. Sept. 21.--
President Eisenhower makes his
first direct bid for farm votes in
his reelection campaign with an
informal speech at the national
blowing matches near here today.
An estimated 100000 persons,
Iowa farmers and their
wives. were expected to hear the
speech in the midst
of a natural amphitheater on the
Henry Steenhoek farm where the
blowing matches and other
varied contests for farmers are
being held this week end.
The President and Mrs. Eisen-
hover were driving here from
Boone, Iowa, where they spent
last night as guests of her uncle
in a two-story white frame house
her grandfather built in 1870.

Plan to Boycott Suez
Dropped
U. S. Said to
View 1t as
Too Costly
BY RICHARD FRYKLUND

european correspondent oI Ine Star
LONDON, Sept. 21.-The
United States apparently has
abandoned its earlier plan to
finance a boycott of the Suez
Canal.
The American delegation came
to London prepared to offer hun
dreds Of millions of dollars in
loans for Western Europe to buy
Western Hemisphere oil to make
up for any losses in deliveries
from the Middle East which
might result from diverting Suez
traffic around the South African
cape.
After conferences with the 10
nations in London, however, the
United States is reported to have
strapped the plan. Here is the
reasoning:
Egypt is making little money
on the canal now. So the boy
colt now would cost Egypt little.
But it would be a tremendous
economic burden on user ma
tons, particularly Great Britain.
Imperfect Boycott Seen
And the boycott would be i'm
perfect. Some nations would not
take part and many tramp
steamers would register with
those countries so that they
could use the canal.
Non-boycotters would then have
Ia trade advantage over boy
cotters which would lead to a
breakdown of the entire gesture.
Furthermore, Americans feel
the whole effort should be di-
Irected to keeping the canal open
not to closing it or ignoring
it. AS long as Egypt can run the
canal, the world should use it.
Americans here now believe.
Conference Ends Today
This third London conference
on Suez is scheduled to end to-
day with these things accom-
plished:
First, original British French
determination to have a quick.
decisive end to the Suez crisis
chat is, an ultimatum to be
followed promptly by war; has
been abandoned in favor of a
gradual working-out Of the
problem.
Second, the Association Of
Canal Users will be set up to
handle details of a gradual So
luton.
Third, virtually no route to
a peaceful solution except that
of a canal boycott will be over
looked by user nations.
The outlook on the final day
of the conference is that
eventually all 10 nations attend
ing the conference will join
the Cooperative Association Of
Suez Canal Users (CASU) even
though it probably will take
such countries as Pakistan.
Sweden and Spain some time to
determine the association is not
incompatible with their inter-
ests. No attempt will be made.

Costs Dip
Nationally, But
Hit High Here
U. S. Index Drops
Z Pet. Between
July and August

The cost OF living nationally
interrupted a five-month climb
to drop two-tenths Of l per cent
between July and August, but in
the District of Columbia the
Consumer Price Index reached
% new high.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
announced its living cost figures
today and said that for the Ma
ton as a whole sharp seasonal
drops in the prices of fresh
fruits and vegetables from rec
ord levels in July offset higher
prices for other foods and fol
other goods and Services. The
index for August stood at 116.S
per cent of the 1919 average
compared to lit in July, but 2
Iper cent above a year ago.
The index for Washington
reached a new high of 1857,
which was IL per cent above a
year ago. There was a IL pei
cent increase between May anC
August, when prices were higher
for all major classes of goods
and services.
Food Prices Up Here
Food prices in the Capital were
1.8 per cent higher than a year
earlier but 81 per cent below the
August, 1852, peak.
The infiationary rise in living
costs nationally, which began il
March and reached new high
in June and July, has become al
issue in the present politica
campaign.
While fresh food prices ar,
expected to fall more, othel
prices edging upward may brinl

AS supplies Of fresh vegetable
became more plentiful the price
averaged a 21.9 per cent drt'
and potato prices fell SO per cen
from the record high levels o
July.
Factory Pay High Seen
The bureau also issued a re
port stating that factory work
ers' take-home pay hit an all
time high in August. At tn
same time the real earnings
that is. the amount of good
and services the worker coul
buy with his pay-was the high

intention of running against Vice
President Nixon, or Of merely
aiming his fire at the Republican
Party as distinguished from its
popular leader.
In his appearance last night
at Montgomery Blair High
School in Silver Spring, Mr.,
Stevenson spoke of the President
with difference. But he did not
hesitate to enumerate what he
regarded as missing facts in the
Presidents account Of what has
happened in the world in the last
few years.
Mr.. Stevenson charged that
when the President referred tc

He said that when the Presi-
dent talked of defending For

that it was President Truman
who sent the 7th Fleet to defend
FormoSa."
Backs H-BOmb and Draft Stand
In somewhat stronger terms
Mr.. Stevenson stood by two OF
his earlier suggestions, the wis
dom of which were questioned
by the President. One was that
the United States should take
the lead in promoting curtail-
ment of hydrogen bomb tests
the other that this country con-
slider whether draft policies arr

of meeting changing military
manpower needs.
