Assistant Joseph H. Clarke. Jane.
T. Logan, of st. Paul adminstra
tive assistant to the regional dir
ector was among the top Negro
postal officials pictured in the ex
hibit.
The st. Paul delegation did
not have to stand in line long at
the registration windows Mon
day. Branch president Leonard
Carter picked up badges and con-
ventiOn material for most Of his
delegation himself.
Roy Wilkins, NAACP director
had a hard time finding his office
in the Coliseum. We chuckled as
he told how a reporter tried to in
terview him on the elevator, re-
questing that he make a state
ment on the size and scope Of the
convention before wilkins said the
convention even opened.
Registration of the delegates
slowed up the opening of the first
session for one hour. At opening
time at 2 pm. the Coliseum lobby
was still crowded as four lines of
delegates and alternates were
lined up before four windows try
ing to register.
The Minnesota delegation, a
member of Region 4, had good
seats Immediately before the plat
form in the third row.
Arthur Spingarn, NAACP presi-
dent, member of the New York
delegation, said he was happy st.
Paul was to be host to the conven-
ton in 1860.
The first order of business
after the invocation was a mem
orial service which opened with
the singing of MY Country tbs of
Thee"
Mrs. Walter White, wife of the
late executive secretary of the
NAACP is being interviewed right
behind US and she told the radio
newsmen that she felt this Con-
vention was very exciting"
This convention is a vibrant,
moving experience even for the
most hardboiled and cynically
working newsmen.
More than most national meet
ings its delegates seem to have a
spirit of dedication.
This may be easier understood
when it is realized that some of
the delegates here in NY. do not
dare admit their NAACP member
ship in the cities, towns and vii
lagos from whence they hail.
Both branches of the commun-
lists party were busy distributing
their newspapers free to delegates
in front of the building.
The communist party's Workers
World was being offered free, as
was the militant the Trotskyite
paper. Both Of them had stories
angled towards the NAACP con-
vention.
Some delegates accepted the free
papers others turned the proffered
literature" aside.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (AP).
Some day you're going to
zee my name in the headlines
one of the greatest artists
in the world" 2T-year-old
Ponell johnson told fellow
employees.
Part Of the prophecy came
true yesterday-less than "a
hours later.
johnson, fred from his job
as a shipping clerk in a Man
haitian textile firm, few into
q murderous rage and shot two
Office receptionists to death.
He was held today on q
homicide charge.
HE was mad at the whole
world" sobbed his 24-year-old
wife, Mercedes, mother Of his
five daughters. HE has a
terrible temper. Once he gets
angry he is uncomfortable"
For johnson, the shootings
were the climax Of a young life
tortured by wild ambition.
johnson considered himself an
unrecognized genius whose hard
wierd paintings would bring
him fame and fortune. Scorn
Infatuated him.
"They laughed at my paint
ings," he said of the two slain
girls, Lorraine Rosenberg, 20,
and Elaine Fallik, 10, who
worked in his Office.
A beatnik type, johnson
wore q beret and carried an
orange-and-black striped cane
When he was fired he took
his discharge pay, went to a
pawn shop and bought a hunt
ing rifle and so cartridges. He
returned to the Office aud fired
twice-then the gun damned
Three company executives dis
armed him.
IF that damned gun hadn't

State and throughout the
country are too small TO pro-
vide adequate programs.
C. o. Fitzwater, chief Of the
local school administration Sec
ton Of the United States once
of Education. agreed with Mr..
Wright on the need for school
district reorganization.
The educators made their
views known in addresses pre-
pared for a group session Of
tn eAmerican Association Of
School Administrators.
Figures Presented
"There are still too many
districts that are too small for
providing good quality school
programs" Mr.. Fitzwater said
He added:
"In 1857, less than half Of
the $4,000 district then in ex-
istence we're operating school;
for more than so pupils: dis
trict out Of every 7 was moi
operating a school of any kind
and only district out of every
10 had more than 1000 pupils.
Then why do small school dis.
tricts continue operating high
schools on their own when they
would do better to combine
with other districts?
DR.. Wright said that in lows
he had found town pride" thu
fear Of teachers that they vii
lose their jobs, fear Of higher
taxes and the desire to have
local basketball teams as amont
the reasons for continuing thu
small districts.
DR.. Wright rejected thest
ideas, stating:
A first-class high school ed
ucation is more important thar

With the present shortage o
educators, teachers who ar

A small school generally cost

school, I'VE are in danger
Of letting the tail wag the
dog"
While there has been a great
deal Of comment about over
crowded schools. both Mr..
Fitzwater and DR.. Wright said
that undercrowded schools also
present a problem.
A school district should have
at least 1900 pupils in grade !
through IL, and a high school
should have a minimum Of 800
pupils, Mr.. Fitzwater said.
Commenting on the same
point, DR.. Wright said pupils
in small classes do not have a
desirable competitive situa-
ton ACCIDENTALLY"
The AASA, a department OF
the National Education Associ-
alton, is holding its 91st an
nual meeting here. The gen.
eral theme of the convention
is education and the creative
arts"
DR.. COnant Speaks
Parents of highly gifted chill
dren must make sure that these
children get, as far as possible
a wide and solid education, DR.
James B. Conant told a panel
session yesterday.
A child gifted in music OF
art, he said, must not be al
lowed to use these gifts to avoid
academic courses. The same
holds true for those with spe-
cial talents in science and
mathematics, he added.
DR.. Conant; president-emer-
titus of Harvard, who recently
completed q two-year study OF
American high schools, said the
highly gifted are the top 2 or :
per cent Of the school popula-
ton.
Parents Of other children, he
indicated, sometimes can't see
this distinction.
Parents rarely expect q foot
ball coach to do the impossible
with an athlete" DR.. Conant
said, "but accidentally, parents
expect a teacher to take a boy
and make him q running back.
The AASA convention end
tonight with a musical program
by pianist Van Cliburn.
