trying to get anything more at
this time because "if we bite off

A few others who commented
informally today also found fault
with the administrations pro-

further delay because of a COM

more centralized power in the

But the mere suggestion of
more laws on civil rights touched
off further struggles. These
centered on intended moves to
get a much broader and hard

An officer and key committee
Iehairmen Of the Commissioners

called for abandonment of the
Iover-the-counter system of is
suing drivers permits without
any check on identity.
They all advocated mailing
permits rather than handing
them out to insure bonaf1de adj
dresses for permit holders, All
emphasized that the person who
gets a permit under a fictitious

block a 50-teacher cutback next
fall in Washington junior and

C. Melvin Sharpe, board pres

response to an inquiry yesterday

The House this week directed
the cutback in approving a grant
of rs new elementary teachers
for the city's schools next winter
The House, acting on a recon-

committee, said the so teacher
positions should go to the
