Mr.. Turner said the club feels
there are large number Of
Democrats here who want to
support Mr.. Stevenson.
The slate we have drawn up

said.
Unfortunately" he added,
Gov. Stevenson will not be able
to campaign here and he there

prove the slate. We are conf

primary"
Mr.. Turner's observation on
the Minnesota balloting was:
1--WE fall to rise. sleep to wake
and lose to fight again"
Since neither candidate will

voters will have to express their
preference through identifying

A battle royal is shaping up
between the Districts two wings
of the Democratic Party for the
city's' six votes at the Democratic
National Convention.
The possibility of a struggle to
elect IL delegates-each with a
half a vote-in the May l pri-
mary here began to look signif1-
cant when Senator Kefauver
thumped Adlai Stevenson in the
Minnesota primary election on
Tuesday.
The unexpected turn of events
showed the local Stevenson-for-
President and Kefauver-for-
President Clubs into high gear.
The board of directors of the
Stevenson group met yesterday
and drew up a slate of IL men
and women it will try to get
ratified at a meeting of the full

proposal for a drastic overhaul
of the city's school curriculum
and promotion and marking
standards.
The Board of Education or

day after DR.. Rowland F. Kinks
board member, proposed testing
all the city's 100000 pupils and
regrouping them next Septem'
Der according to the test re.
suits, in order to separate the
bright from the dull"
DR.. Kinks proposal parallellec
one made recently by Brig, Gen
Thomas A. Lane, District En-
gineer Commissioner. The school
board member stopped short Of
a Lane proposal to denote lag
ging children, however. DR.
Kinks, instead, suggested assign
ling such pupils to remedial
classes.
Changes Proposed
DR.. Kinks put main stress on
setting up stricter promotion
and class-assignment rules. He
proposed:
Reviewing and clarifying
standards for each subject and
grade.
Adopting objective tests for all
children and a uniform basis for
evaluating the results.
Adopting universal promotion
standards.
Establishing alternative paths
for study after sixth grade
either % academic or co non
academic or manual.
Retesting all pupils in June
and regrouping next September
including assignment to differ
|ent buildings where necessary.
Assigning substandard students
to remedial classes.
DR.. Kinks told the board he
feels there is too wide an achieve.
nent and ability spread among
pupils in many of the city's
classes, and that this could be
corrected by his proposals.
Hits Easy Promotion
! DR.. Kinks, who formerly
headed National University Law
School here, has been a critic
of what he has labeled easy pro.
motions in the school system.
He told his colleagues yester-
day he considers it unsound to
advance children who haven't
met standards Of the next higher
grade. He also declared that the
school system needs to stress q
hard core of fundamentals" in
Its teaching. Similar principle.
recently were enunciated by Gen
Lane.
The board member, however
said that rather than demotins
children who don't fall in the
grade pattern" as suggested to
an educators meeting two weeks
ago by Gen. Lane. the schools
should set up remedial classes
wherever possible. DR.. Kinks also
suggested special classes fol
children who are social misfit.

This appeal went to home
owners in Montgomery and

Yesterday it started a

ing program in the two

tify the areas and check
stream erosion.
But there's room--and a
need for - more shrubs, II
homeowners want TO get rid
Of them.
