leave for similar reasons.
Boards of Education are
most reluctant to provide both
additional and adequately
paid secretarial assistance,
which will free a teacher of
this duty" In some cases,
teachers are required to op-
crate the Office telephone
switchboard in an otherwise
free period, which could best
be devoted to grading papers!
Parents ought to realize
that teachers abhor these ex-
ira tasks. Parents have a pri-
mary obligation and highly
sacred duty to expect the full

their children in lieu Of this
non = teaching paper work.
More parents ought to COM

If the JohnnieS can't read,
parents have to probe consist

where the true cause is. Their
taxes pay the salaries of those

teachers be free to devote full

THE PASSING SCENE
Kennedy Shuns One-Foction Label
BY WILLIAM S. WHITE

Senator John F. Kennedy
will move shortly to re-em-
phasize that as the Demo-
, cratic presidential candidate,
he wants the votes of all
sections Of the country and
: Of the conservative as well
as the liberal faction of his
party.
Though he does not con-
cede any such impression to
be justified, he is aware that
a fair-minded observer could
honestly suspect that the
,left-wing Democrats have
moved in upon him. In any
event he did not plan it that
way. nor will any such total
impression be allowed to
stand If he can help it.
1t has been largely hap
penstance that Democratic
ultra-liberalS-and powerful
labor bosses-have so far
made up the bulk of his call
ing lists. He is glad to see
these men, Of course, and
does not in the least propose
to ALLEVIATE them. All the
same. he is acutely sensitive
to the fact that the Demo-
cratic Party is by no means
solely represented by men like
Averell Hartman and Adlai
Stevenson and that there are
millions Of Democrats who
do not automatically distrust
business but do frankly dis
trust labor politicians like
Walter Reuther.
Moderate Liberal
Thus. Senator Kennedy is
privately pointing out that
his whole past record is that
of a moderate and responsible
liberal. He is suggesting to
moderate and conservative
Democrats alike that a poll
tician who for IA years has
never been a wild man is
not going to be one in the
White House, should he reach
that mansion.
He feels, he proved this
anew in choosing Senator
Lyndon B. johnson as vice
presidential candidate. He
thinks-and with some JUS
tification-that he has done
much. at the end and after
the end of the Democratic
convention, to re-unite the
party. So he believes him.

that what he has so recently

David Korrick

Three weeks ago, on the
eve of his appointment as
United States Ambassador to
Ecuador, Honorable David B.
Karrick made what was to be
his last visit to District Cen
eral Hospital. His purpose was
twofold, namely, to present a
citation to a member of the
hospitals medical staff; and,
to welcome the doctors who
had recently joined the staff.
This visit typif1ed Mr.. Kar-
rick's sincerity and active
interest in District General
Hospital, which he had mani
tested throughout his term
as District Committioner.
On this occasion the Dis,
trict General Hospital staff
presented to Mr.. Karrick a
letter of appreciation for his
strenuous, untiring efforts on
behalf of the hospital. We
acknowledged that ours was
the responsibility to continue
the progress which was ini-
tiated through his sound
judgment and decisive action.
This responsibility is indeed
felt more keenly now by all Of
us.
The untimely death of this
distinguished and dedicated
man, whose outstanding serv-
ice to our community will
long be remembered, inf1icts a
serious loss upon us. The sad
ness which we share with
everyone who knew him is
partially alleviated by the en-
during gratitude which we at
District General Hospital
have for the wise counsel.
sincere friendship and in
valuable assistance given to
us and to the people of Wash

mankind.

said II am not speaking to you
as Southerner to Southerner,

In Lynchburg, former Gov.

G. o. P. vice presidential can
didate, had spoken against
Senator Kennedy for picking a
Southerner for his running
mate and had praised Chief
Justice Earl Warren.
Are we going to sit idly
while this great Southerner is
abused in this manner?" he
asked.

Senator johnson is "the only

will be a fifth will depend on
Mr.. Nixon. The Republican
nominee is understood to have

nearly three weeks to carry out
his own campaign plans before
the November 8 election.

Is there a cheap new process
that may enable 20 nations,
instead of three Of four, to arm
themselves atomically2 Senator
Gore, Democrat Of Tennessee,
says yes. The Atomic Energy
Commission says it hasn't been
proved.
The process in question is
one for refining weapons-grade
uranium. the raw material Of
nuclear fission. 1t is described
as an improvement on tech
nique tried before but put aside
the centrifuge principle, es-
sentially like that of the cream
separator.
Senator Gore, a member of

gy Committee, said yesterday
Improvements in the centrifuge
method promise so much saving
that weapons manufacture, now
limited to the United States,
Britain and the Soviet Union
with France just getting into

reach of as many as 20 or more
nations"

Disarmament or control

But Acc, asserting 1t is con-
Quoting research of it's own on
the process, says "it has yet to
be proved" that the method is
cheaper than the admittedly
expensive gaseous diffusion
process now used by the United
States.
The centrifuge process is a
technique for separating the
bomb fuel, uranium-235, from
the heavier isotope Of uranium
U-238.
In the gaseous diffusion proc
ess now used by the United
States, the two different iso-
topes Of uranium are separated
by repeatedly passing uranium
in gaseous form through thou
sands of sieve-like holes so that
ultimately the heavier mole
cules separate from the lighter
ones.
Studied Earlier
The centrifuge process was
studied by American developers
of the A-bomb during World
War II but the gaseous diff
fusion process got the nod.
Senator Gore said several
