senior high school level re-
fleets a difference in dropout
rates between Negro and white
) pupils.
The dropout rate is higher
7 among Negro students than
white, DR.. Hansen said.
The racial breakdown by
buildings among the Districts
173 school showed there was a
total of 20 all-Negro schools
and six all-white schools.
} The heaviest group was that
In which 80 to SO per cent OF
pupils were Negro. or in which
30 to SO per cent were white. In
. this bracket, there were 99
schools with more than 80 per
cent Negro enrolment, and Is
schools with a comparative
white enrolment.
- The figures by buildings are
r particularly significant in terms
Of transfers, DR.. Hansen said
ut, is very likely that some OF
4 the all-Negro schools are in
that category because trans
fers have been made out Of
those buildings"
THE time is approaching
where the number of transfers
on the basis of race will taper
off" DR.. Hansen said, "and we
may eventually disallow such
transfers"
DR.. Hansen said that gen.
orally there is too much fluid
ity" and the children ought tc
stay in the schools where they
! belong on the basis of schoo
e. zoning. He said, however. thai
he regarded as beneficial &
policy which allows pupil trans.
fer if there is serious question
Of q child's emotional health
when the child is in a small
minority group in a giver
school.
Decline Noted
= in another important aspec
Of the enrolment figures. DR.
Hansen noted a decline of 81
at D. c. Teachers College. This
he said, was caused by tn,
dropping OF courses for grad
u4te credit, and in part by
new admissions policy stressinl
completion of the high schoo
college preparatory course.
Meanwhile, the school boarC
yesterday deferred action TO
three months on a propose
by DR.. Hansen to establish al
official closing hour Of 3:3I
pm. for elementary, JUNO
high and senior high schools
THE current closing time i
8 pm, although few teacher
leave at that time.
a DR.. Hansen pointed out tina
"for most of the staff tn
$3.50 pm. hour now represent
a minimum time spent in build
rings after the close Of school.
The proposal, he said, is 1T
systematic the practice of goo
teachers already in effect,
This would eliminate a per
sistent but minor complaint
in the community against tn
teaching profession that teach
ers rush out of school at closin
time.

defeated former Representative
Woodrum of Virginia. 141 to 81,
for that post.
Long Tenure
He held the leadership post
every year except in 1918
and 1884 when Republicans
controlled the House and Rep
reSentative Joseph w. Martin,
jr., of Massachusetts was
Speaker. At those sessions Mr..
Rayburn was minority leader
and Mr.. Mccormack was Dem
ocratic whip.
This does not necessarily
mean the speakership will go
automatically TO Mr.. McCor-
mack without a struggle in the
Democratic caucus, probably a
few days before the 87th Con-
gress reconvenes next January
10. But it would be a major re-
versal of parliamentary prece-
dent and the House seniority
system If the veteran Massa-
chusetts Democrat failed to
get it.
From a seniority standpoint
Mr.. Mccormack has served in
the House since 1928, longer
than any other Democrat who
might be considered for the
speakership. He will be 10 on
December 81.
a. Years Service
Besides being House Demo-
cratic leader longer than any
predecessor, Mr.. Mccormack
has had a record of public
service going back A years. He
was a member of the Massa-
chusetts Constitutional Con-
vention in 1917-18. After en-
listing in the Army during
World War I he served in the
Massachusetts State Legisla-
ture. as Democratic leader dur
ing the two years before he
was elected to Congress in 1923
Even his staunchest support
ers do not claim he enjoys the
enthusiastic or active backing
Of all Democrats in the House,
but signs seem to point to a
behind the = scenes effort tc
show a united front in picking
Mr.. Mccormack without rip
ping the party wide open and
risking defeat of the admins
tration's legislative program
next year.
There could be a caucus con-
test over a successor to Mr.
Mccormack as majority leader
Many observers believe Repre-
sentative Albert of Oklahoma
the Democratic whip and act
ing majority leader, has the
inside track.

More Practical Lever

Western observers hope that
African representatives will
heed these Western arguments,
since they have a vested inter-
est in maintaining strength of
the United Nations which has
become their forum for influ-
encing world events.
If the Africans do not listen,
the United States and other
Western powers which contrib
ute the bulk of money and men
to the Congo operation have a
more practical lever of control.
They can simply refuse to go
along with an expanded opera
ton.
Before the Security Council
yesterday Belgian Foreign
Minister Spaak opposed the
Afro-Asian resolution on the
grounds that 1t would unleash
a white hunt" in the Congo.
He said its wording was "frag-
mentary and insufficient" as no
one could define "mercenaries
and hostile elements"

need to consult their foreign
offices and the possibility of
revised positions"
The United States spokesman
said his delegation would have
to consult all day today with
the State Department. He said
that it was doubtful" whether
Ambassador Adlai Stevenson
would be able to present an
American position to the Sc
curity Council this afternoon.
Battle Lines Drawn
But the battle lines between
the Africans and the Asians-
who want more U. N. interven-
ton in the Katanga Province
and the French and Belgium
who oppose such interference
were clearly drawn during yes
terday's debate.
In support Of his draft
resolution, Ambassador Nathan
Barnes of Liberia said the
backbone of the Tshombe
secession" was the foreign as
distance granted Katanga. The
resolution to use force to throw
the mercenaries out Of Katanga
and to keep them out would
break that backbone, he said.
He bitterly attacked the
Union Miniere. the interna-
tional copper mining concern
in Katanga, for supporting the
secession, and asked why it has
not been brought to justice for
defying the United Nations.
The answer came from Bel
gian Foreign Minister Paul
Henri Spaak who echoe d
French Ambassador Aramand
Brand in opposing further U. N.
use of force in the Congo. Both
men concentrated on "concilia-
ton" and persuasion" as the
way to end the Katanga seces-
sion.
u. s. Delegation Worried
While the United States still
has not taken a public stand
in debate, members of the dele
cations were privately worried
about a too broad interpreta-
ton of the u. N. right to exer-
else force against mercenaries.
They stressed the United
States has no blanket OPPOSE
ton to force, but that force
should be the last resort and
limited to police action.
The United States official
position is that Katanga must
be refrigerated into the Congo
but without civil war. With
the British, the Americans are
deeply worried that full-scale
United Nations military inter-
Vention could foment civil war,
and involve the U. N. in an
operation that it is neither ma
terially nor politically equipped
to handle.

FAA Boss
 Cited for Careless Operation of a Plane

WASHINGTON lR = An in spector for the Federal Aviation Agency has recommended that Najeeb E. Halaby, Federal Avia- tion Agency Administrator, be cited for careless operation of plane.
 Halaby was at the controls of the agency's new million-dollar transport and was taxing toward a talxeoff slot at Washington's Is National Airport Nov. g when the plane brushed the wingtip of a parked United Air Lines plane waiting to take off.
 No one was injured but the collision shattered running light on the FAlA plane and damaged the UAL planes wingtip. The UAL flight was delayed about an hour.
 An FAA spokesman said that Halaby had told the agency to investigate his accident just as if would anybody else's.
 The highest penalty that could be imposed against Halaby as q private pilot would be a repri- mand, said the FAA.

State Board of Education
 Endorses Draft for School Foundation Program

JUNEAU N = At the meeting concluded Tuesday the State Board of Education endorsed the draft of legislation for a public school foundation program to be to the 1862 session of the State Legislature. Copies of the draft will be submitted to officials and educators for rec onnmendations which will be con- sidered by the board before the lawmakers meet.
 The board also endorsed for possible presentation to the next legislative session the draft for reorganization of local school or ganizations. This too will be cir culated among school people.
 In another action the State Board of Education called on the Legislature to investigate the all legged statutory defiency in the ap- propriation of state funds for the support of school districts for the 1861 -62 fiscal year and urged the lawmaking body to take appro- priate action if such a deficiency exists.

 Factory Workers Sets a New High Last Month

WASHINGTON R Average earnings of factory workers set an all-time record last month, | the Labor Department announced Tuesday. The work-week aver |aged 40 hours and 36 minutes highest in two years.
 The departments analysis of
 the preliminary job figures an nounced last week showed that payroll employment at 55.1 mil lion in November, equaled the record set month earlier. with all the returns now in for November, the story is a pretty good one," said the de- partment's manpower director, Seymour Wolfbein.
 The unemployment rate is 6.1 per cent of the civilian labor force, Wolfbein told news conference. If the unemployment rate re-
 mains at 6.1 per cent, there will
 be Al million unemployed this
 menth, up slightly from Novem-
 ber's 3.99 million January will lsee 4.9 million jobless, and Feb- ruary 5 million because of pure ly seasonal factors.
 Average hourly earnings in Mo-
 vernber climbed to a record $2.36,
 Together with the lengthening of the factory workweek, and step ped-up overtime paid, the aver
 age weekly earnings of factory workers rose by SIPS to a record
 of $95.82.

'AFL-CIO Signal
 Full-Speed Ahead For Wage Increases

BAL HARBOUR, Fla. R = The AFL CIO convention signaled full speed ahead Tuesday on wage increases in contrast to President Kennedy's call for wage restraint,
 The convention adopted a series of economic policy resolu- tions that also pledged drive to cut the present standard 40-hour work week. Kennedy has said that now is no time to reduce working hours.
 Walter Reuther, head of the United Auto Workers Union, took the convention floor to denounce those advocating wage restraint based on the idea that greater labor costs would upset the bal ance of eNport-import payments. Reuther didn't specify that he was opposing Kennedy policies, however.
 Reuther said he wanted to an- swer those who say working hours shouldn't be slashed at this time. With nearly four million un- employed, he said, the time has come for unions to campaign for an hours cut to spread the avail able work.
 The AFL-GIO chiefs set $1.50 an hour as organized labor's new goal for the federal minimum wage.

When these winds, which
