School officials in Arlington

junior high school youngsters
how to study.
Instead Of the tired cliches a
student usually hears from
adults, the youngsters are given
the pointers by senior high
school students.
This week selected students
from two or three Arlington
high schools have been going
back to their old junior highs
and giving their younger

studying advice as:

Parents Fight
groTransfer

DETROIT, Oct. 26 (AP) -
The parents of children at three
predominantly white Detroit
schools voted last night to keep
their youngsters home to protest
the transfer Of 3l2 Negro chill
dren to the schools.
About 1000 parents met and
voted to keep their children
home Friday and next Monday
and Tuesday from the Guest,
Monnier and Noble Schools.
The Guest and Monnier Schools
are all-white. The Noble has
q few Negro students.
The parents protested the
transfer Of the Negro children
from the Brady and McKerrow
Schools to the schools attended
by their children. The Board
of Education said the Negroes
were being transferred because
Of overcrowding at the two
schools. All the schools involved
are on the elementary level.
Robert P. Williams, 40, an
insurance agent and spokesman
for the protest group, the
Northwest Parents Club, said,
I'VE are here as parents, not
as property owners. We talk
here from the standpoint of
our children who are worth
more than property.
I'VE want equal education
for everyone. We are not here
to deny any child equal edu-
cation"
Detroit schools are integrated.

Schools, however, are in pre-
dominantly white neighbor-

A new plea for more practical

member. -
He suggested that the county
hire a specialist to analyze plan
ming proposals from the view
point Of taxes. budget prob
lens, demand for new schools
and other fiscal angles.
Mr.. Frosh said the county
needs somebody "to attempt
to coordinate land use from
the economic point of view"
Failure to do this at the
present time is lone of the
glaring defects in our plan
ming machinery" he said.
Planners Act
Councilman David L. Cahoon
noted that the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission has made "a
first halting step" with the re-
cent hiring of an economist.
In other action, the coun-
Gil formally approved a code
of ethics for top county Of
ficials. The code is a pared
down version of a set of ethics
rules suggested many months
ago by a citizens committee.
The ethics code requires an
official to disqualify himself

in which he has a personal or

He also must refuse gifts that
might influence him and refrain
from using confidential infor-
