District high schools are
carefully working out an ad-
vanced college placement pro-
gram for qualified students.
officials revealed today.
The idea, in the expert
mental stage, will be to put
students who pass stiff test
into more advanced courses in
their freshman year.
Next year students in the
honorS track and some in the
general, or college preparatory.
track will be able to partici-
pate.
We're moving into advanced
placement very cautiously
Some cities went into it on too
wholesale a scale. We don't
want to give the students, or
parents. the idea that we have
advanced placement and every
body can take it," said Leo NJ.
Altman, supervising director
for junior and senior high

Towes and Lee Trade Accusations
On Issue of Higher teachers Pay

committee gave an unfavor-
able report =" Mr.. Mestel
said. .s-s
The house subsequently,
passed a siO0-a-year pay raise
for teachers and adjourned
All pay raise legislation died
that year when the Senate re-
fused to concur in the small
pay raise voted by the House
Mr.. Lee said he opposed the
teacher pay bill submitted by
Gov. Tawes in 1859 because he
did not think it was good leg
islation. He said it committed
the State TO millions of dollars
for a four-year period but did
not provide any means of fl
nancing the additional funds.
Mr.. Lee said the bill which
he supported in 1859 provided
for the first stage of the pro-
posed four year program to
bring the teacher scale to the
$4,000 to $4,000 level.
He said the teachers would
have gotten raise in 1859 if
it hadn't been for the sudden
adjournment of the House
which angered the Senate and
left no opportunity for work
ing out the issue.
In a statement last Sunday.
Mr.. Mahoney said Gov. Tawes'
administration shows a rec
ord of broken promises, and
he urged passage of the $4,000
to-$6,000 salary scale. The
present minimum scale is
$500 to $500. although all
localities pay above the mini
mum.

THE UGF AT WORK
Brooklyn Plan Described

Christ Child Settlem n
House has new director, fresh
from a Brooklyn agency whose
store front outposts" reach
out to youths.
The outpost operation
started about 10 years ago in
New York City" Richard Kelly,
the new director of the settle
ment house, a United GiverS
Fund agency, explained.
The store front is a visual
thing-people pass by and can
see it. These operations make
it possible to 60 out into new
neighborhoods."
Mr.. Kelly introduced the pro-
gram at the South Brooklyn
Neighborhood Houses, a private.
non-sectarian agency, which
he directed.
The area we served was so
vast that we had to find a
way to make the most of the
least" he said. 1--WE rented a
store for $50 a month. That
gave us a toehold out in the
community"
Later the agency had two
store fronts, as we'll as its cen
trail headquarters.
One of the basic problems
was to reach teen-agers living
under the threat of narcotics
addiction.
There's a fantastic amount
of it. It's the true cancer of
New York" Mr.. Kelly said.
Its gotten so bad doctors
and dentists on Park avenue as
we'll as in Brooklyn close early
out of fear.
HOUSEKEEPING has increased
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-10-20

SlumS, the prey Of the
racketeers, he said.
Yet Mr.. Kelly succeeded in
getting some youths from this
atmosphere to come to the
store front outposts.
People who show interest in
them attract them" he said.
Then you have nothing to
fear. They wouldn't think of
attacking you, or harming you. -
The city's youth employment
service that works with Lotto
l8-year-old school dropouts
operated in the settlement
house store fronts. Also, dis
cussionS, movies and art pro-
grams. including making Jew
elry that could be sold, were
part of the operation. Public
facilities such as gyms and
swimming pools were used for
athletic programs.
Mr.. Kelly, who is 38, hopes
to see Christ Child Settlement
House. at 608 Massachusetts,
avenue NE, reach out more
and more to the young people
of the area, possibly through
store fronts. Like their coun-
terpartS in other cities, teen
ayers generally shun programs
at the agency'S headquarters.
He plans to live in the neigh
borhood, the better to under
stand its needs.
Christ Child Settlement
House is one of 148 agencies
for which the United Givers
Fund is conducting its drive for
$7.8 million-agencies that will
return the investment a thou
Sandfold in their contribution
to the community. !

Yesterday the Rambler an

The rockfiSh was served,
broiled but not overbroiled.
His guests were very COM
plimentary. The sections we
were eating we're from rock
fish weighing over 10 pounds.
He had every reason to feel
proud of his catch.
Then he remembered that
none of the fish we had
caught on Tuesday weighed
over 3 pounds. He furtively
looked from plate to plate
and checked the size of the
fish section each had been
served.
What had happened to his
rockfish? Had the restaurant
served these extra specially
fresh fish to it's regular
trade?
This is going to call for an
investigation. But he didn't
say a word at the time. His
guests we're too well satisfied
with his catch"
But they weren't his rock
fish. They were the big
ones taken by the CONNER
cial fishermen with nets.
And they were delicious.

Now, he said, a special course

two different high schools. VOL
unteer teachers and classes
elsewhere are working on mate
rails for advanced courses in

Some of this involves design
ing new courses, as in calculus.
In other areas, as in literature,
honorS courses will include
Plato'S The Republic" AriSto-
phaneS and other works not
generally included at the high
school level.
Students eligible for advanced
placement courses will take a

Among nearby systems, Ar
lington and Montgomery
County already offer advanced
placement programs.
About 500 universities and
colleges have Joined the effort
to move high school students
farther ahead. with the required
testing credentials.
Some Took Test
A few District students took
the test last spring voluntarily,
and the results were EN-
couraging,' Mr.. Altman said.
A number of students have
secured advanced placement.
I'VE know that when the
current ninth and 10th grades
hit the program, We'll have a
large number of students TAX
ing advanced placement, formal
or informal" said Assistant
Supt. John D. Koontz.
I'VE want to make sure that
the program is at the college
level, and make sure kids get
recognition for work done in
high school"
He predicted that the two
grades, the FIRST in the track
system, would be better quail
fled for the program than some
previous grades.
Mr.. Altman went to Pitts
bulgh schools, Boston suburban
systems and consulted with
authorities at Harvard, Rutgers
and Williams in planning the
District program.

obey three rules: Attend all
school and project classes; be
at home by 10 pm. every night;
and demonstrate a willingness
to cooperate with the rules of
home, school and community.
Three NOrms of Selection
The boys were selected on
these bases: They had to be
still in a school and near or
over 16; they could have no
recent or long history of agrees
sive assaults and could be
neither pSychotic or severely
neurotic; they could not have
an intelligence quotient below
10; could not be too passive or
immature; had to have some

had to arrive at the project
each day at $3.50 pm. tor the
daily two hours in the project.
During the projects control
of the youths, they received
remedial school instruction. arts
and craft work and physical
education to improve their CO.
ordination. Also the boys re-
ceived individual and collective
counSelling from project men,
berS and there were several
unannounced visits made by
the councillors to their schools
and homes.
Second Year at Armstrong
The second year of the prof.
ect is being held at Armstrong
High School. All the boys are
on suspended commitments
from the court.
The report said there are
indications that the number
of delinquent acts committed by
Juveniles is increasing out OF
proportion to the increase in
the number of children.
Juvenile delinquency, like
the common cold, will always
be with u.s." the report said.
However, some Of the expendi-
ture attendant to juvenile de-
linquency can be prevented by
learning more about it so that
more effective preventive meas
ureS can be taken"

The
Rambler
Gets Something
OFF His Chest
BY GEORGE KENNEDY
The Rambler is suffering

The Rambler is suffering.
At his best, the best he can
do is to get what's on his
mind on paper. And he is
not at his best.
He has a cracked rib, or
maybe just a badly injured
rib.
1t happened when he was
out on the Bay fishing Tues
day.
1t was a wonderful day
and what was more wonder
full, we were getting fish.
And he was getting lazy.
He sat down in one of those
little aluminium folding sum-
mer chairs - the kind that
are sold in drug stores for
less than IS.
Everything was fine. He
was getting the feel of the
rod and reel. He was not
dragging bottom and was all
ready to wind in another
rockfiSh.
Then the boat went into a
trough in the swellS and
heeled over a bit to star
board, and the chair and
the Rambler went over-not
overheard, just over.
His floating ribs hit the
upper edge of a permanent
box Stenciled Eight Adult
Life Jackets"
Nothing serious. He was
soon back fishing - but
standing, not sitting.

Whether or not they were or

returned to school on a regular
basis. AS a group. their school
citizenship and academic effort
improved markedly, the report
continued.
The investigators and admin

project found that most of the
youths were not roaming the
streets at night unsupervised
and were home by 10 pm. dur

This. said the report, was an
