For this reason. the National

D. c. Gifted
Groups Seen
Successful

The grouping of so-called
gifted" children in 10 of the
Districts junior high schools
apparently has been successful
so far.
A survey of the program,
started for the first time this
year on an experimental basis,
was released today by School
Supt. Carl F. Hansen. 1t showed
that:
AS of the last half of the first
semester, only four children had
been dropped from the program
In the same period, a total
of II children had been added.
This shows. school officials said,
the "flexibility" of the program
A total of 480 children were
started in the program. Their
los ranged from 100 to 162, =.
In short, screening methods
employed at the start of the
school year. or at the end of
last year when the children
were in elementary school,
have held up.
The children, in achievement
tests, have placed themselves
from two to three years ahead
in math and reading. Next
year. they will start foreign
languages in the eighth grade.
Actually, the gifted program
is an extension of the "honorS"
program now operating in the
systems high schools. Even
tually, school officials hope to
be operating at least three
tracks" of study through the
elementary grades and up to
the ninth grade.
At the ninth grade. another
track would be added-along
the lines of the college prepar-
atory track now functioning
In senior high schools.
The three tracks running
through elementary schools
and the eighth grade of junior
high would possibly be labeled: ::
"Honors, general and basic"
Next September, a form of
the gifted, or honors track
will start experimentally in
the fourth grade. Foreign
languages, either French or
Spanish, will be available for
the first time at that level for
bright students.
DR.. Hansen reported the
four-track curriculum now en-
ployed in the senior high
schoolS-basic, general, college
preparatory and honors-is
currently under study and may
be revised or enriched at GER
tain levels.

are of walruS ivory and are
very interesting examples of

One was very realistic. An
Eskimo with a spear and a
dog was attacking a polar
bear. The bear was rearing
menacingly on his hind paws
over the body of a slain seal.
Also on the table was a

Some Federal planners fear
this disposition of the East Mall
would give Mr.. Stewart practi-
cal power to decide what build

White House last week gave
backing to the commission bid
by requesting Federal agencies
to clear new building with the
commission through the Fed
eral Budget Bureau.
The commission has had the
East Mall development pro-
gram on its drawing boards for
many years. At first, the tract
was enviSioned as a strip lined
with administrative centers for
groups of States.
That concept gradually gave
way to the present commission

small enough to blend with the
surrounding neighborhood, but
big enough to house between

ployeS.

Alexandra Denied
Stay in Integration
Bourd Plans
Final Plea to
Judge SobeIoff

Federal Judge Albert v. Bryan
today refused to stay the Alex
andria school integration order.
He told the city school board
it must go ahead with admission
of nine Negro children to three
white schools next Tuesday.
Immediately after today's
hearing, Commonwealth Earl F..
Wagner and School Board At
torney John Barton Phillips,
said they will take the request
for a stay to Chief Judge Simon
E. Sobelotf of the United States
Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals
IN Baltimore at IL am. tomor-
row.
The board had requested a
stay from Judge Bryan until
next September while it appeals
the order to the Fourth Circuit
Court of Appeals. Judge Bryan
ruled in favor of the childrer
last Wednesday.
Won't Change Decision
After hearing arguments to-
day, Judge Bryan said he "sees
no reason to alter the conclu-
SionS" he came to earlier this
week in ordering the children
admitted to Ficklin and Ramsay
Elementary Schools and Fran
els Hammond High School.
The school board refused an
offer from Frank D. Reeves,
the students chief counsel, who
told Judge Bryan his clients
probably would go along with
an agreement on delay IF the
board would promise to inte-
CRATE in September without
further argument"
The reference was to Judge
Sobeloff'S recent action in. the
Charlottesville case. There the
city was granted a delay after
it told Judge Sobeloff it would
devise a plan and integrate
schools by September.
Mr.. Phillips told Judge Bry-
an that to deny a stay, in effect,
denies the school board "the
right to pursue the legal rem
edieS through the courts to a
final conclusion. ....r,
Mr.. Phillips said Judge
Bryan's order came as a COM
plete surprise to the school
board and to the community.
Sees Major Change
A member of the school
board, John Dyson, said that
without a delay of the effective
ness of Judge Bryan'S order
pending an appeal 'it will force
us to begin a new way of life
without final determination of
the matter"
Mr.. Dyson repeatedly told
the judge it was his duty to
grant a stay.
This court could be wrong"
Mr.. Dyson said. I'VE could all
err. You are not right judi
cially until that is finally de-
termined."
The judge. however, said the
arguments on the motion for
a stay had been presented to
him previously at hearings
which preceded the issuance
OF his desegregation order
Wednesday.
hShS DOaru IOr ran
Mr.. Reeves said there was
no justification for a stay of
Judge Bryan's order unless the
school board came forward
with a desegregation plan.
To the school boards argu-
ment that it needed more time
to prepare for the admission
of the Negroes in the interest
of school efficiency, Mr.. Reeves
said:
Il wonder if they still are
thinking Of an efficient school
syste mas segregated school
system.
City officials, meanwhile,
continued plans for carrying
out a peaceful and orderly
integration process next Tues
