WASHINGTON-Presi-
dent Kennedy ruled out
any Federal aid to church
rented grade and G h
schools in the administra-
tion's proposed aid to educa-
ton program.
BUT He CALLED upon
Congress to establish a pro-
gram of grants, scholarships
and loans for both pubic and
private colleges and their
students. Church-related col
leges were not ruled out.
His education message did
not discuss the question of
giving aid directly to nom
public school pupils or their
parents. Nor did it mention
auxiliary services.
The Chief Executives mes
sage made a special point of
noting the exclusion of aid
for nonpublic schools, estimat-
ed to enroll about 6.8 million
children.
IN ACCORDANCE with
the clear prohibition of the
Constitution" he wrote. mo
school funds are allocated for
constructing church schools
or paying church school teach
ers salaries"
The Presidents proposals
would give 1913 billion in the
next three years to states for
public grade and high school
construction and or public
school teachers salaries.
President Kennedy said the
constitutional bar he sees as
prohibiting aid to nonpublic
schools means that pupils in
these schools are "rightfully"

Compromise Bill Asks
Youth Court Referees

failed to agree on court legis-
lation for three years as court
and social workers report a
growing backlog of cases in
the one-judge court.
Senator Hartke's idea has re-
ceived no favorable comment
from members of the Davis
subcommittee.
But the Senator, as chairman
of the Senate District Subcom-
.mittee handling Juvenile Court
legislation, is in a position to
influence considerably the di-
rection it will take in the Sem
ate. He promised hearings soon
on his own bill and "other
pending legislation" concerning
the court.
His proposed referees would
hold preliminary hearings upon
assignment from Juvenile Court
Judge Orm Ketcham. Referees
findings would be given to the
judge and to parents or guar
dians of juveniles involved.
If the child, the parent or the
guardian fails to appeal a ref
eree's decision within three
days, the finding would become
a court order when signed by
the judge.

Job Training
For Youths

District School supt. Carl F
Hansen yesterday backed 6
proposal to set UP Federally-
supported job training pro-
grams for youth as well as 9
Youth Conservation Corps.
Appearing before a House
Education and Labor subcom-
mittee, he described the diff
culties faced by all school ad'
ministrators in solving the
"drop-out" problem. He called
the problem "of such scope al
to be beyond the management
for a local school system"
But DR.. Hansen told Repre-
sentative Perkins, Democrat oi
Kentucky, author of one of tive
proposals along the same line
that some provision should be
made for highly disturbed boys
who are close to criminal ac-
tivity."
He suggested the possibility
of establishing a draft-status
type of program for such young
men who would then be as
signed to duty under military
discipline as a step short oi
actual incarceration in loca,
prisons or reformatories."
Also testifying in behalf oi
the proposal was Secretary oi
Agriculture Freeman.

The Districts Legal Aio
Agency, caught in a budget
pinch, has been forced to plan
a drastic cutback in provision
of free counsel for penniless
defendants.
Charles B. Murray, agency
director, said today the unit
faces loss of Is temporary en-
ployes, including 10 lawyers,
when its present appropriation
expires on June 80.
Mr.. Murray's curtailed pro-
gram is based on the outlook
for an appropriation of only
SIS, 900 instead of the $130,40C
requested by the agency, al.
though a House committee still
is studying the item.
1--WE will try to keep from
a complete breakdown" Mr.
Murray said, noting that 10
permanent employees, four OF
them lawyers, will carry on a
reduced program.
Affected by the cutback will
be programs for indigents at
Municipal Court, District Court
and Juvenile Court.

at Municipal Court. Mr.. Muir
ray said, would be cut to a
single man. Staff lawyers
there have been told the agency
must drop official responsible
ity for pending cases after
June 80.
Under the cutback, he said,
staff members no longer will
be assigned to Juvenile Court
or to hearings before the cor
oner, United States commits
sioner or Mental Health Com
mission.
The Legal Aid Agency, which
started operations last Novem-
ber, has operated this year un-
der a $4,000 appropriation
from Congress. Because this
began late in the fiscal year,
it permitted hiring of addi-
tional employees on a tempo
rary basis.
A $130,400 budget request
for the next year. Mr.. Murray
said, is now before a House Ap-
preparations subcommittee. The
Commissioners have recon-
mended approval of a $4,000
budget, the same as the one
for this year, he said.

Danny was the only other
person in the house when his
father died.
At first, when he couldn't
awaken him, Danny thought his
father was sleeping harder than
usual during a nap after a hard

His mother and the other
children were visiting relatives
and not due back for hours.
Danny is IL now. That night
years ago is a memory that
faded slowly. The days since
have brought too much respon-

refers to him as the head of

She even asks him to discip-

which they resent.
Danny has one fine memory

II am sure our intermediate

two years of intermediate and
four years of high school.
WOOdsOn'S Swan Song
The change was listed by Mr.
WoodSon last fall as the over
riding goal of his last year as
Fairfax superintendent. He has
every reason, county observers
say, to look on the effort as
having proved to be a fitting
swan song" for his 80 years
as boss of the system.
Mr.. Woodson will retire this
month. His replacement will
be Earl Funderburk., 47-year-
old superintendent in Whining
ton. N. C.
Preparation for installing the
intermediate level in Fairfax
was as dramatic as the installa-
ton itself.
The work, of course, had to
be done by students, teachers
and administrators at the
same time they were being
called on to be a part of and
operate the outgoing system
without a relaxation of school,
ing standards.
New Buildings Readied
Last year - 1959-1960 = the
county operated a trial-run in
termediate class at just one
school. 1t gave all concerned
an opportunity to iron out the
bugs before the plan was put
into effect on a countrywide
basis.

trict workers would result in

NUNS of about $50, compared
to the current $54 limit.
The separate District bill in
troduced in both houses at the
request of the Board of Trade
would call for the tWo-thirds
formula to come into play with
District, rather than maritime
salaries as a basis for setting
compensation rates. Labor
groups have indicated strong
opposition. Neither the Senate
or House committee shows
signs of rushing this bill through
this session.
Representing virtually all
employers" of the District, Mr..
Press reminded subcommittee
men that employers cover total
costs of compensation. Their
insurance rate under the long
Shoremen's proposed increase
would rise up to Is per cent,
he said, although rates in the
District now are we'll above
those paid by Maryland and
Virginia employers.
Discrepancy Noted
Speaking for the Washing
ton Central Labor Council and
the AFL-C1O, Mr.. Mason noted
this discrepancy between COM
pensation of Federal and pri-
vate employees:
A Government printer, for
example, receives 1882 an hour
compared to a private printers
wage of $3.77. But the Gov
ernment printer would receive
500 a week compensation
compared with $54 a week for
his fellow craftsman in private
employment.
This discrepancy is incon-
ceivable," Mr.. Mason added.
Even the $40 maximum would
fail to balance benefits but
would be long overdue step
in the right direction" he said.

housed when the program was
to swing into full operation.
The need for an intermediate
level was based on several ar
guments. but the principal
contention was that students
in the seventh and eighth
grades should be weaned away
from the elementary way of
doing things and introduced
carefully into the high school
way of study.
Nov, for instance" Mr..
Walker says, I'VE can offer our
seventh and eighth graders
worthwhile instruction in in
dustrial arts, home economics,
physical education, music, art
and other subjects on a higher
level in their own particularly
surroundings"
Segregation Ended
This was not possible in the
old seven-year elementary set
up" another school admins
traitor adds.
But installation of an inter-
mediate level was not the only
announced goal for 1960-61
achieved in Fairfax.
School officials hold that
1960-61 marked the end of
school segregation in the
county. There were no re-
ported incidents.
In terms of upgrading cur
riculums, a major project in
hundreds of school districts
since the hue and cry for bet
ter schools which came in the
wake of the Russian sputniks,

previously installed reading and

capped. But we were still un-
able to solve all our remedial

More School Money

almost looks rosy.

will go a long way towards con-
