"The poppy program is based on
a desire to keep forever bright the

care you as citizens of your

asked to "wear a poppy" you are
being given the privilege of shar-

you aware that the poppy is offer
ed for you to wear as personal
memorial to our nations fallen de-
tenders? And do you know that by
wearing a poppy you are aiding
disabled veterans and needy chill
dren of veterans?
Wearing the poppy tells the
world that we remember and are
grateful to those who made it pos
sible for you and me to live in a
country like America, where God
is known and worshipped; where
every man may use his God-given
talents to make better life for

words which were uttered during

Elementary
School News

California Achievement Tests
have been administered this Fall
in grades two through six, and
results are now being summar-
lied. The scores made by each
pupil are plotted on an individual
diagnostic profile chart. Interpre-
tation of the profile is the first
step in utilizing the results for
the identification of the pupil
achievement level.
Much of the classroom dag
nostic work is informal and in
wolves no standardized tests.
Good teaching requires constant
evaluation. The teachers continu-
ally take their clues from pupils
verbal and written work. They
also capitalize on what the pupils
do or fail to do on standardized
Achievement Tests.
An effective classroom diagnosis
is characterized by a continuous
search for keys to learning diff
culties. This Elementary testing
program is a deliberate attempt
to aid in making this search more
productive.

First-Doy Events Called Hocus-Pocus,
Not Intended to Change Status Quo

April Fools day has come
three months early in the
United States Senate.
All factions joined In the
civil rights hocus-pocus de-
signed to convince liberals and
conservatives, Negroes and
white supremacists. that a
great struggle has taken place
on this matter of principle.
Miracles are always possible,
even in the most unlikely
places such as the Senate of
the United States. Neverthe-
less, on the opening day of
the 85th Congress, the stage
was again set for another
great debate" on civil rights
at the end Of which all par
Elephants and the Nation will
be left standing precisely
where they were before.
The leaders planned it that
way. The liberals can claim
they made the good fight
against overwhelming odds.
The Southerners will exult in
throwing back an insidious at
tempt to destroy the Southern
way Of life. The Republicans
who could easily have decided
the issue in favor Of the
liberals, both Republican and
Democrat, who started the new
effort, as usual took variety
of positions designed to protect
their special interests.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-04

Most important Of all these
interests is the maintenance
of the conservative coalition
with the Southern Democrats
which since 1888 has in effect
controlled the Congress. Under
this arrangement civil rights
votes are traded for support
of those tax. fiscal and bust
ness policies which are the
major Republican concern.
The liberals were in such a
minority position, Republicans
were enabled to permit the
detection Of those Senators
among them to whom the
Negro vote is of critical i'm
portarce.
There we're several interest
ing aspects of the unanimous
consent agreement which Ma
jority Leader johnson. after
much skull practice with Sena-
Tor Russell of Georgia, the
generalissimo Of the Southern
forces, offered as the vehicle
of the present debate. The
agreement provided for six
hours Of debate to be evenly
divided between the opposing
factions and a final vote at
6 pm. today.
For one thing, it took Vice
President Richard M. Nixon

those who originally had great
doubts about its merits are now
veering toward the administra-

The Egyptian crisis has

plies from the Middle East.
Although oil is cut off only
temporarily, the closing Of
the canal has thrown Europe's
economies into a tailspin. What
would happen, it is asked, il
through Russia's policies the
sources Of oil-not merely its
tranSportation-were denied to
the Western world?
The Pentagon and State
Department presentations have
convinced President Eisen-
hover that we must assume
now direct responsibility to
preserve for the free. world
the Middle Eastern oil SUI plies.
And, it is argued, if Iran were
to fall by default it wouldn't
be long until Iraq~ and Saudi
