Want to Learn

low-average work because there

Even the brightest student
probably needs to improve his
study habits, according to Alice.
The children in the panel
were the oldest in a group of

divided up into four classes to
pursue various subjects dur

All agreed that their guinea

to customary school routine.

The worst aspect of possess
ing higher-than-average intel
ligence in school is that you are
bored in most classes.
Such was the opinion of 16
junior high school students, all
rated as gifted" who took part
in a discussion yesterday at
North Bethesda Junior High,
where they have been observed
in classroom work. during the
past three weeks by go teachers
seeking credits in a University
of Maryland workshop.
The students, who were
chosen from North Bethesda

to aid in teaching the teachers
how to provide suitable pro-

Mr.. Shea admitted that he

ing the facilities for the WASH

The young couple will have
another wedding celebration in
New York this week end before

The festivities started around
noon, as guests, food and drink
began arriving.
The women. who kept mostly
to themselves, wore brightly
colored dresses, with gold neck
laceS and earrings. The hall
was aglitter with red, blue and
green garments.
The men, dressed in more
common American sports
clothes, had red flowers pinned
to their lapels.

He said unforeseen complica-

and is not expected to be re-
opened for several months. The
original estimate was for six

that an architectural engineer
ing firm and a hospital con-
sultant are working out details
of a proposal for expanding
and consolidating the facilities
at District General Hospital.
This project is a step toward
carrying out a recommendation
on needed hospital improve
ments by a New York consult
ant, John Steinle.
The Health Department di-
rector noted there have been
research projects carried out
at the hospital but that the
laboratories are scattered
throughout the buildings.

research contributions from
the hospital but there never has
been any formal support for
these activities.
Research Blocks
On the contrary, Mr.. Nc
Dowell declared, certain Con-
greSSmen have attempted to
discourage research and have
questioned the use of hospital
space for these projects.
Congress has never been
asked for funds to support re-
search at the hospital, he said,
because there have never been
sufficient appropriations even
to maintain decent standards
of patient care.
In his statement, the Con-
gresham said construction Of
a research building would be
a worthwhile investment con-
sidering the returns in medical
knowledge.
Near Present Clinic
The building, Mr.. Mcdowell
said, would be located near the
hospitals present clinical ia
cilities. Areas of the building
could be set aside for univer-
sity hospitals and for research
by independent physicians.
Asked to comment, DR.. DAN

poSal.

to authorize parking and access

eminent. Stadium plans are at
a standstill because of inaction
on the proposed legislation,
Representative O'Konski, Re-
publican of Wisconsin, sharply
attacked the stadium finances.
He charged that the District
is looking to Congress for too
much financial assistance.
I'm very strongly opposed
to the BILL" the Wisconsin leg
iSlator declared.
Seeks Assurance
Mr.. O'Konski indicated if he
could get a positive assurance
that no further Federal funds
would be sought he might go
along with the parking-road
authorization, which is tagged
at a ceiling of $2,660,000.
Mr.. Shea said he could not
offer such assurance because
he could not speak for the
Interior Department, which
would be responsible for the
parking area and road building
He also was unable TO answer
with any assurance questions
from Representatives Springer
of Illinois and Smith Of
KANSAS, both Republicans, or
other aspects of the financing
problem.
Such questions, he explained
must await firmer development
of the stadium plans.
The legislation introduced by
Representative Harris, Demo
crat of Arkansas, went to the
floor July l3 but bounced back
to the District Committee be-
cause of objections on the
parking-road issue by Repre-
sentative Gross, Republican Of
Iowa.
Bond Issue Planned
The legislation, according to
Stadium hackers, is a must, if
the project is to proceed, be-
cause the bond issue planned
to cover the construction OF
the stadium proper is not con-
sidered able to support the
supplementary facilities. Mr.
Shea re-emphaSized this posi-
ton today.
The Armory board leader
whose position was backed
strongly by District government
spokesman, said he was conf

itself in 80 years. But the big
gest income will come from the
parking facilities, he said.

..... Checks on
Unknown Warriors
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

The Amphitheater together
with the Tomb of the I'M
known Soldier in Arlington
Cemetery is one of the most
impressive things the Nation
has to show visitors to its
Capital.
They usually park in front
of the Amphitheater and
walk around it to the Tomb.
1t is apparent that they are
impressed because they con-
verse in whispers.
Sometimes a little boy
very little-will attempt to
ape the mechanical walk Of
the sentry. But the parents
put a stop to that.
The spot awes them. The
magnificent tomb overlooks
a long vista down the hill
and across the river to the
Capitol.
Here rests in honored
glory" reads the inscription,
IAN American soldier known
but to God"
THE Unknown Soldier" he
was always to be singular
not plural, for he died in the
war to end wars.
But there are two large rec
tangular white stones in the
pavement of the plaza in
front and they mark the rest
ing places of the two I'M
knowns, one from World War
II and one from the Ko-
rean Conflict.
The tourists usually walk
through the Amphitheater.
They must be impressed by
it's marble chastity. Every
bench is of the pure white
stone.
