victions and the necessary
courage to state them.

Yesterday, his son Carl was
speaking out. He outlined the
following action after his APP
pointment:
THE school year should be
extended from SO weeks to 80.
THE system should pay
teachers overtime-its a better
educational procedure than

question of overtime pay for
coaches should be resolved by
the board quickly"
1.-THE matter OF sex educa-
ton should be decided. Some
moderate. reasonable form Of
the subject should be intro
duced."
THE question of whether to
close Armstrong High School
should be settled quickly"
He also said these things:
Il Suppose I'm a fundamen-
talist in education. We should
hit hard at teaching the basic
skills. I get a little tired of
hyperactivity in the classroom.
I like to see a little dis

their home experiences and
help them find out if they can
succeed and do things of i'm

East Front
Plan Opposed
By Byrd

A proposal to extend the East
front of the Capitol is both
undesirable and non-essential, {"
Senator Byrd. Democrat of Vir-
ginia said today.
He reiterated his long stand
in opposition. to the plan on
the eve. of a possible Senate
committee decision tomorrow
which could have an important
bearing on the project.
A subcommittee on Public
Buildings and Grounds of the
Senate Public Works Commit
tee is scheduled to hold an ex-
ecutive session at 10 am. to-
morrow. The subcommittee,
headed by Senator Mcnamara,
Democrat of Michigan, will
take up the bill of Senator
Smith, Republican of New
Jersey, to rescind congressional
approval of the east front ex-
tension at a cost of about Sol
million.
Senator Byrd's letter was adj
dressed to Chairman McNa-
mara, who held public hear
ings on the Smith bill last week.
At that time. ]. George Stewart,
architect of the Capitol, and a
consulting architect testified
that erosion has made the
sandstone east front unsafe.
Today Senator Byrd wrote:
1.-THE schemes outlined in the
report run to estimated costs
of $110 million. Changing the
appearance of the Capitol would
be both undesirable and nom
essential"
Yesterday. Virginia's other
Senator. A. Willis Robertson,
Democrat. changed his mind
and expressed opposition to the
East front extension.

Star stan Writer

A shy man, who says he
walks as If he were blowing. got
up today as superintendent of
the District school system.
DR.. Carl F. Hansen, So, as
sumes the leadership of a sys-
TEN still struggling in change
and an effort to settle down.
And while his direction is
bound to resolve a batch of un-
solved problems. his own sit
uation can only remain un-
certain.
With two members of the
Board of Education voting
against him, DR.. Hansen yes
terday was named acting
superintendent on a temporary
basis-and until June 80. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Frank S. Phil
lips, chairman of the boards
Personnel Committee. a per-
manent superintendent will be
selected by then.
Permanence Considered
DR.. Hansen's name is among
those now under consideration
for the post. So besides taking
over one Of the toughest jobs
in the District. DR.. Hansen will
have a questionable future
lying unanswered among the
normal troubles of a superin-
tendent.
But DR.. Hansen shows signs
Of surviving. He already has
come through the most ticklish
period in the systems history

Of a number Of citizens groups,
struck by his imagination and
frankness.
And following the Davis
Committee investigation Of the
sySten-said by some to have
been one-sided-Dr. Hansen
undertook to defend the District
schools, in a thorough. search
ing study Of indignation. He
called 1t a miracle Of social
adjustment"
The possessor Of an earned
doctors degree, he will be earn
ing the $4,000 top. superin-
tendent's salary. Some years
ago. his father, Peter Hansen,
who died at 81, told his son he
should leave education so he
could better support his family.
To Tackle Salaries
Along this line, DR.. Han
sen said yesterday one Of the
first things he will tackle is a
new salary scale for teachers.
He feels it should be some
what higher than the one rec.
omended by his predecessor last
WEEKS million above the
present $26 million spent in
salaries-but still realistic.
Balding, with a perennial
look Of worry about him, DR..
Hansen explains his plodding

For most Of us, exposure
to religious teaching was an
integral part Of growing up.
We took 1t for granted as
naturally as school or play.
Not until years later were we .
able to appreciate the stability,

feeling of worth and the direc-
ton which this early religious
training gave to our lives.

This is a most amazing
feat" said DR.. Skinner of the

born. Here we have a new
volume on azaleas which is
probably a closer approach
to the definitive than any
thing written by a horticul-

Projects for Aged,
Recreation Pushed

Two major programs-one
on aging and the other a rec
reation master plan-were giver
the go-ahead sign yesterday
by the board of directors Of the
Health and Welfare Council Of
the National Capital Area.
The new committee on aging
will be a continuing one. II
will be a planning and CO.
ordinating group to stimulate
adequate housing, employment
recreation, health facilities and
education for the aging in the
area.
The councils Priorities and
Procedures Committee recon-
mendeG its formation after
studying a request from Dis
trict Public Welfare Director
Gerard M. Shea and District
Public Health Director Daniel
L. Finucane that the Health
and Welfare Council conduct
a pilot project here in foster
home care for the aged.
Asks More Information
The board asked the Com
mittee on Aging to confer with
the public health and welfare
directors on the foster home
project and to gather more in
formation on the subject before
a decision on its ACCESSIBILITY is
made.
Both the Committee on Aging
and the recreation master plan
will be projects of hives pro-
gram development department
Believed to be unique in the
country, the program develop
ment section is set up spe-
ciflcally to handle long-range
projects.
A study of children without
homes is a third project Of the
department.
Seek 1O-Year Study
In the development Of the
recreation master plan, Isadore
Seeman, executive director Of
HWC, reported public and
private agencies in the field will
be asked to look ahead 10 years
and project the programs and
facilities they will need at that
time. HWC will study the area,
too, and the recommendation
Of the two groups will be con-
sidcred.
Long-range planning in rec
reation has been neglected, Mr.
Seeman said. Along these lines
the Fairfax-Falls Church Re-
gional Committee Of HWC re-
Gently expressed its belief that
a Northern Virginia Park Au-
thority should be established
and land bought now to be SET

There are about 70 varie-

"ThiS Is a section that had
not been farmed for more
than half a century, and the
trees are very large. Shade

Several of the people you

urban renewal ALLEGATION for
the District set aside by the
Housing and Home Finance
Agency before the May is dead
line. voted to retain Nathaniel
c. Keith, urban renewal con-
sultant. Mr.. Keith will pre-
pare plans for a light industrial
urban renewal area bounded by
the proposed Washington ex-
pressway on the west and
north. Massachusetts, avenue on
the south, and the railroad

Hears Report
The board heard a report
from its relocation officer.
James Banks, who told of the
difficulty of getting people dis
placed by redevelopment into
public housing. After hearing
his report, the board voted to
send a letter to the National
Capital Housing Authority,
which has jurisdiction over
public housing. protesting not
takin ga sufficient number of
persons displaced by redevelop-
ment.
Mr.. Banks explained that the
housing authority finds itself
squeezed because of insufficient
rents and Government subsidies
so it can meet its costs; fam
lilies overcrowded in public
housing, because of additional
children, are being transferred
to larger public housing quar-
tiers, and the difficulty in proc
essing applications for public
housing.
