CHICAGO, July 81 (AP)-
An indianapolis Negro lawyers

Frank r. Beckwith, who ran

CHICAGO, July 81. - vir-
ginia Republican delegates
half -heartedly agreed to go
along with the crowd on civil
rights, and then found a new
issue on which they could dis
agree-the matter of choosing
a Vice President.
They moaned and groaned
about the South's plight for the
better part of two hours this
morning.
But in the end, the delegates
agreed there was little they
could do about changing the
course of the Republican plat
form at this point. They de-
cided that there would be no
floor fight as far as Virginia
was concerned over the plat
form - particularly the civil
rights plank that emerged
from the Resolution Commit
tee last night.
Their position pretty we'll
jibed with what the rest of
the Southern delegates were
saying-that they had done
their best. and had come up
with a civil rights plank which
they maintain really isn't as
strong as the Democrats.
Plan No Floor Fight
L. S. Parsons, chairman of
the Virginia delegation, said
his group would not try to file
any minority support, or start
scrap on the floor, unless the
other side-namely Gov. Rookie
feller's side-makes a fight
of it.
We're the tail hanging onto
great big dogs, or maybe we're
the ticks" quipped William
Siple as he lamented the lot
of the conservatives in modern
politics.
He said that lousy New York
crew wants to make the Re-
publican Party new deal-we
stand here half defeated"
Another delegate boosted that
Gov. Rockefeller didn't succeed
in getting his way entirely
I'VE can take that message
home, that we resisted his
efforts and won."
Calls Platform Better
We'll, we did get them to
take FEPC stuff out" said Mr.
Parsons. Don't let anybody
tell you our platform isn't far
better from a conservative
standpoint than the platform
adopted at Los Angeles"
James Meyer questioned Mr.
Parsons on his statement that
there was no FEPC in the plat.
form. He read from a section
urging continued efforts for

Rockefeller Endorses
Revised Rights Plank

CHICAGO, July 81 (AP)-
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of
New York early today Endorsed
the Republican Platform Com
mittee's revised civil rights
plank.
In his first formal reaction
to the new plank, he called it
"a strong, and specific declara-
ton in support of equal OPP
portunity, human dignity and
the supreme worth of the in
dividual."
NewSmen were routed out of
bed shortly after $3.50 am. for
a statement issued by the
Governor in support of the
controversial plank.
He said that while he would
have liked to see it go further
in some respects, he was graft
fled with the result.
THE plank is comprenen-
sive" he said. 1T attacks dis
elimination in voting, housing.
schools, jobs and public facili-
ties.
Y Never in the history of our
party has so specific and so
constructive a civil rights plank
been fashioned. The fact that
controversy surrounded its for
mutation derscores its
strength"
Under pressure from Gov.
Rockefeller and Vice President
Nixon, the Platform Committee
revised yesterday a plank
adopted earlier but criticized
by the two men as too weak.
Gov. Rockefeller said that he
had carefully reviewed the
plank and that it incorporates
IL of the Is elements "of the
comprehensive civil rights pro-
gram which I first advocated
in a speech in Buffalo in June
. and reStated here Sunday
at the meeting of the National
Association for the Advance
of Colored People"
While he said he was graf
flied with this, he said he was

legislation guaranteeing nom
discrimination in hiring and
firing.
There's a lot of difference
between FEPC and that" in
sisted Mr.. Parsons.
In spite of the assurances,
Mr.. Meyer was not so sure.
True. he commented, the Demo-
cratic platform definitely goes
all out for FEPC, but at the
same time ours pusSyfoots all
around it."
A New Disagreement
In the final analysis, OBJ
served Mr.. Siple, in the North,
voters can be assured the plat
form is strong, and in the
South they can be told some
thing else.
With the civil rights battle
out of the way. Mr.. Siple sug-
gested Virginians concern
themselves with the matter of
a Vice President. That started
another go-round among the
delegates. with Mr.. Siple lead
ing it off by saying "Vice
President Nixon is trying to
give us an effete New Highlander
for Vice President who never
was worth a damn to the Re-
publican party"
John Dalton protested that
Mr.. Siple'S comments were his
own land I'd like the press to
know Henry Cabot Lodge
would be acceptable to me-"
Mr.. Dalton's comments
brought applause from the
delegates.
Mr.. Parsons reminded the
delegates that Virginia had de-
cided to place the name of
Representative Poff of Radford
in nomination as a fsvorite
son.
GOldwater Has Support
Tom Merrick noted that the
9th District delegates are COM
mitted to support Barry Gold
water.
A show of hands indicated
there would be at least eight
votes for Senator Goldwater
as vice presidential nominee.
Another show of hands re-
vealed five delegates who still
hoped to vote for him as Presi-
dent although his name won't
be offered.
With an approaching cleo
ton engagement to keep, the
delegates left the matter of
Vice President up in the air
and decided against scheduling
any more caucuses unless the
delegation chairman thinks it
! is necessary.

their "a votes for Vice Presi-

Thruston B. Morton as his
running mate.
There were hints at a caucus
yesterday that a few stray
Maryland votes would like to
go to Gov. Rockefeller, but the
New York Governor pretty we'll
precluded that possibility when
he led his own delegation into
the Nixon fold.
D. Eldred Rinehart, chair
man Of the Maryland delega-

The preference for Vice Presi-

Thirteen of those present

eight were for Gov. Rockefeller

Senator Morton has a

Much has been written concern
ing the report cards and systems of
grading of the American Public
Schools over the past one-half cen
tury. Considerable misunderstand-
ing prevails as to what various
grades mean, whether it be let
ter or numerical grade. The follow
ing is the basis for awarding grades
at Milford High School:
A. Student consistently does work
of outstanding caliber Work is
characterized by accuracy, neat
ness, attention TO detail and origi-
nality, and there is evidence of in
itiative and creativeness. This
grade is the highest recognition
that the school gives and is reserv-
ed for the truly outstanding scholar.
B. Student does very good work.
Required work is nearly always
well organized, neat and on time.
c. Student does average work
Assignments are generally care
fully completed within the limit OF
the students ability.
d. Student does below average
work. Either by reasons of inabil-
ity or lack of desire, the student is
not satisfactorily performing those
learning experiences expected at
his or her grade level. While this
is a passing grade, it does not
warrant the schools recommends
ton for college or employment bas-
ed on achievement on this course.
E. Failure. While the pupil may
have shown some sign of effort OF
Milford chronicle., 1960-02-19

ability from time to time his per-
formance is so erratic and achieve
ment so limited that he cannot be
considered to have passed the
course.
F. Failure. Pupil makes little or
no effort whatsoever to help him
self.
&c" is considered an average
grade and the grade that the ma
jority of students should receive if
they properly apply themselves to
their studies.

FurtherCuts
InAid Unlikely
By ROBERT X. WALSH
Star stan Writer

House Speaker Rayburn said
today that the $3,389, $50, 900
foreign aid bill being debated
in the House will not be
affected" by the cancellation
of President Eisenhower's visit
to Japan.
His comment to reporters as
the House took up the appro-
priation bill was taken as an
indication the House is unlikely
to make any further cuts be-
IytIld the $790.5 million slashed
Ey the Appropriations Commit =
tee from the administrations
request for $4,l81 ,704 900.
Other influential Democrats.
including some who thought the
committee cut too much, pre-
dicted that the House never
theless would uphold the re.
ductions.
Try to Balk Cut
Many Republicans. with some
Democratic support, served
notice they will try to restore
at least $3.50 million of the mill
tary assistance and the defense
support funds cut by the COM
mittee. The House expected to
debate the bill for four hours
and probably start voting on
amendment proposals tomor-
row.
Representative Passman,
Democrat Of Louisiana, chair
man of the Appropriations Sub
committee that recommended
the cuts. opened the debate by
taking issue with a Republican
declaration that this is no
time to kow-tow to Khrushchey
or be soft on communism"
Raps Propaganda"
Mr.. Passman called this
statement by several Republi-
can members of the committee
an unwarranted indictment
which seemed more like propa-
ganda than a facing up to prac-
tical realities.
He said the mutual security
program should not be con-
sidered mainly from the stand
point Of spending money.
Many people around the
world are accusing us of trying
to buy our way" he said.
Republican leaders insist that
their efforts to restore funds
are merely to bring the total
closer to amounts urged by
President Eisenhower as es-
sential to security in the face
OF intensified Soviet threats.
Mr.. Passman and many other
Democrats contend the COM
mittee cuts would not weaken
the mutual security program.
They say the $3.3 billion in
proposed new appropriations
could be bolstered by many mil
lions Of dollars available in
funds previously appropriated
but unspent and unobligated.
