3 Rs Project

A Washington school project
aimed at "a return to the three
Rs yesterday was examined
sharply and found wanting
by the Montgomery County
Board of Education.
Amidon Elementary School,
which will open in Southwest
Washington next fall as an ex-
pertinent in basic instruction
methods, came up for some
critical comment by Montgom-
cry School Board and staff
members. Their remarks were
prompted by a letter from the
county'S Council for Better Ed
ucation urging a similar prof.
ect in MONTGOMERY.
Member Rose c. Kramer
said: With selected pupils and
teachers doing a selected Job at
Amidon, it will not be a nor
NAL situation. 1t is not a con-
trolled experiment. so how can
1T prove anything? What can
it be judged againSt?"
She added that she had "at-
tempted to investigate how
much it grew out of teachers
thinking, but it seems to be a
superintendent's idea and not
"a staff idea"
DR.. John Permenter, assist
ant superintendent for instruc-
ton, said he had talked over
the Amidon experiment with
John Koontz, the Districts as
sistant superintendent for sec
ondary schools.
Il told him that an expert
ment so rigged with good teach
ers would have to get good re-
suits, and he did not deny it.
1t won't prove anything. but
will be a sop to all the re-
dictionary voices afloat," DR..
Permenter said.
School Supt. c. Taylor Whit
tier said that he is interested
in the Amidon experiment and
plans to follow its progress
carefully.

Potomac Level Drops,
Reducing Flood Threat

Damage was held to a mini
mum in the Washington area
because the Weather Bureaus
river service section was able
to give SO hours warning.
For example, the Rockville
pumping station at Seneca,
which sometimes receives as
much as $4,000 damage from
floodwaters. was able to take
preventive measures against the
overflow.
Tidewater in the Washington
Channel rose to 3.3 feet above
normal. After this morning S
high tide, the water was ex-
pected to return rapidly to
normal.
Evening star., 1960-05-11

The Potomac and other rain
swollen streams were returning
to normal today and rapidly
reducing the flood conditions at
several points.
For two hours, between 6 and
8 pm, the Potomac rose to 1876
feet at Letter Gauge, above
Chain Bridge, the highest rise
since the hurricane of August,
1855.
By early this morning the
water had dropped % II feet,
flood stage at that point.
Seneca Creek. which rose 612
feet above normal and flooded
the recreation area at Seneca,
also had dropped 4 feet by
early today, leaving some damp

THEN THERE WAS a call
from a young woman who
asked me to come to a hotel
near Union Station plaza.
She met me in the lobby-a
very attractive young wom-
an about 20. She had given
up a good clerical job in
Birmingham, Ala, to follow
a man she loved to Washing
ton.
HE had given no ind1ca-
ton of reciprocating her love
in Alabama. Here he was
definitely antagonistic.
"She was so lovelorn that
she hadn't given a thought
to money. She had run out
of it. She couldn't pay her
hotel bill and she hadn't
been eating.
II took her out and bought
her a good dinner and
listened to her. The next day
she telephoned me. Said she
had obtained some money
from her father and was go
ing back to Alabama.
For the rest, I've never
seen them and don't know
their names, for 1 never ask.
So l don't know whether any
OF my cases, as I call them,
committed suicide after talk
ing to me. I've had 10 calls
from women to one from a
man. I get them mostly over
the weekend at 2 or 3 in the
morning. I live sort of a
Bohemian existence and I'm
got married. So there's no
problem.
Most of them say they
have attempted suicide, but
they do not seem to be about
to jump out the window.
They feel alone, they want
to talk to someone. You may
think all this rather strange,
but I feel I'm being helpful"

Inc Rambler took a cab

ateness" of the finance provi-
sions.
The pending bills would pro-
vide an outright SIS million
Federal grant to help the Dis
trict build sewers to reduce the
overflow of mixed storm water
and sewage into the Potomac.
The financing provisions of
the bill are now being discussed
by representatives of the Budg-
ct Bureau and the District.
1t appears doubtful that the
administration will go along
with the full SIS million grant
and may hold out for some type
of Federal loan.
The Budget Bureau approved
the, statement read to the sub
committee today. In his state
ment. Mr.. Flemming said I'VE
strongly recommend that legis-
lation to accomplish the objec-
tive of these bills be enacted"
Urges Prompt Action
"On the question of the ap-
propriateness of the 100 per
cent Federal financing proposed
by these bills. as compared to
a method providing for an
equitable sharing of costs as
between the Federal Govern
ment and the District of Column
bia," Mr.. Flemming said, I'VE
assume that your committee is
obtaining the views of the Dis
trict of Columbia government
and the Federal agencies more
directly concerned with this
aspect of the matter.
Mr.. Flemming said, however
that he hoped the financing
question could be resolved
promptly so that this badly
needed project may go for
ward"
The Budget Bureau will sub
NIT a report of its own on the
legislation after the discussions
between it and the District on
the financing provisions are
concluded.
At the outset of the hearing,
sponsors of the bills to provide
the $75 million grant urged
early congressional action on
the legislation.
Cites Paradox"
Representative L Lankford,
Democrat of Maryland, told the
subcommittee that Congress
has clear responsibility where
the Potomac River is concerned
to take legislative action with
or without the cooperation of
the administration"
Representative Foley, Demo-
crat of Maryland, said Con-
gress' failure to help the Dis
trict clean up the Potomac has
produced the paradoxical
problem of citing itself for vio-
lating its own Federal Water
Pollution Control Act of 1856"
Mr.. Foley said Congress must
act as Washington's city coun-
Gil and fulfill its responsibilities
on combating area pollution.
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican of Virginia, said 'the
Federal responsibility in this

The understanding is that
Judge Ketcham will review all
cases of youths over l8 who
are considered unsuitable for
the training school. After re-
considering each case, he will
determine whether he will re-
linquish control over them and
thereby permit their transfer
to other Federal institutions.
Averts New Rule
Mr.. Bennett said this will
eliminate any need for "a blan-
ket rule" that no more youths
will be accepted from Juvenile
Court for commitment in the
school. He had written this
month to Judge Ketcham and
District Commissioner Robert
E. Mclaughlin indicating he
was contemplating making such
ruling.
Last month, District Court
Judge Luther w. Youngdahl
ruled that a Juvenile Court
ward, a 19-year-old accused of
violating parole, could not be
held in District Jail or any in
stitution other than NTS or
one similar to it. But there are
no other facilities such as the
training school.
Judge Ketcham said he may
use his discretion whether he
wishes to retain control over a
juvenile offender after he
reaches 18 years of age. Juvenile
Court Jurisdiction may con-
tinue until the youth becomes
81.
Commitments to training
school are indeterminate and
the youth may be kept there
until he is 81.
Transfers Banned
Cases involving youths trans
ferred to other Federal institu-
tions, such as the Petersburg
tVaD Reformatory designed for
youthful offenders, have re-
suited in District Court rulings

tee, much less through the

AS for the anti-poll tax pro-
viso, Mr.. Celler said wrapping
it into District suffrage would
shape a broad target at which
opponents could aim shafts"
Il had a prediction for a
broader measure, but l had to
bow down to members of my
committee" said Mr.. Celler,
adding that he was proud of
being practical.
He traced the constitutional
and historical steps in the long,
slow but steady fight for uni
verSal suffrage in the United
States.
Now, among American citi-
zens only District residents re-
main classified with idiots, in
sane people, imbecileS and con-
victed felons as nonvoters," he
declared.
They are mere wards of
Congress. Denial of their suff-
rage reflects on their dignity"
he went on. They are written
of as excess baggage. There's
no skin off any ones back in
granting this right.
"Why place this hex upon
them? Denial of any vote goes
to the pride, the heart of citi-
zens. And pride is one of the
most valuable human emo
tions."
He promised Congress that
District voters would not be
guilty of idle indifference" if
granted a vote. Their hunger
for a vote is too great. They
will devour it," he declared.

consideration of District suff-
rage was rare, historic op-
portunity, but also a basic

Matters as lasting and fun
damental as a constitutional
amendment should be confined

justifying the recommendation
for action on District suffrage
apart from the poll tax and
House vacancy amendments.
