struction would start next
month.
He said the building, three
stories in front and four in the
rear. would cost $230,000 and
would take about four months
to build.
Lower Values
Residents of the area have
complained that apartments
would be a detriment to the
neighborhood and would lower
the value of their homes.
The question Of race was not
raised by those objecting to the
application.
Supervisor Robert c. Gotten
brought up the subject. THE
real problem is whether colored
apartments should be permit
ted here" he said.
Mr.. Gotten noted that some
people might disagree with him
but that it was his impression
that area residents don't want
colored people living there"
Mr.. McGinnis told the super
visors that the land in the
area has been owned by Negro
families since Immediately after
the Civil War.
Racial Question
Supervisor Adelard Brault
said the board Shouldn't ques-
ton the motives of the people
here"
Mr.. Brault asserted that he
did not think 1.-The question of
race should enter into our con-
sideration of the case. :"
Approval of the application
also had been given by the
county planning staff, which
noted the county's criteria for
apartment development were
met by the application.
Mr.. McGinnis said the apart
ments would be filled by Negro
families from the immediate
area. He said rents would be
similar to those in other apart
ment projects.

An executive who went into
the employment placement
business he formerly investi-
gated for the Better Business
Bureau has been called to
testify by a Senate subcom-
mittee.
William j. Mawhinney was
requested to appear Friday by
District Subcommittee Chair
man Morse.
The Senator is examining
complaints that local place
ment agencies too often mis-
represent their services, over
charge job applicants, and split
fees with employers who hire
their customers.
Some of these irregularities
were first disclosed by Mr..
Mawhinney at the Better Bust
ness Bureau. He left and, last
month, Joined National Execu-

ment agency.
Senator Morse wants to
know if personnel practices look
different to Mr.. Mawhinney
from the inside and outside of
the business.
Still Opposes Fee
Mr.. Mawhinney, in talking to
a reporter today, said he had
not changed his mind. He still
was against the SIS registration
fee some agencies charge appli-
cants before trying to find
them work.
He said he opposed a legal
"cealing" on agency fees. They
should be fixed on a running
scale according to types of Gus
toners helped and earnings of
employees placed, he insisted.
The District law, strictly en-
forced, could straighten out
problems within the business,

Fidel Castro has been out OF
the public eye in Havana for
the last II days. His absence
developing into something OF
a mystery-has stirred up a
number of rumors, none of
them confirmed.
The Cuban Prime Minister
often in the past has disap-
peared for days, but in Mexico
City a newspaper published a
rumor Castro had slipped into
asylum in the Mexican En-
bassy in Havana. The Mexican
Ambassador, Gilberto Bosques
told reporters in Havana the
rumor lis absolutely baseless."
At United Nations headquar-
tiers in New York, Cuban Chief
D ele G a tie Mario Garcia In
chaustegui was asked about the
rumors and said: This is not
a serious question. 1t is COM
pletely phony."
Officials in Havana who
would know declined to talk
about Castro's whereabouts, but
this is not unusual.
Recently he was expected to

first announcement Of this by
the Havana radio, there has
been no further reference to the
Prime Minister in this connec-

made no mention Of his pres

on February S attacking the
United States and some Latin
American countries for their
roles in the foreign ministers
conference at Punta del Este,
held in last January to early

The fact that Castro read the
declaration-he normally speaks
without notes in evidence-has
led to speculation that a Com

restrictions may have been
placed on him.

SeIf-HeIp Farm Aide

BY MARY McGRORY

Friends Of James T. Ralph
jr., say he lost his job as Assist
ant Secretary Of Agriculture fol
doing it too well.
DR.. Ralph, a handsome young
Tennessee born Californian,
formerly the head of Cali
fornia's Agriculture Depart
ment, was called in a year age
by Agriculture Secretary Or
vile Freeman to sell the self

He went to work with such
a will that the Iowa Farm
journal called him "The Billy
Graham of the New Frontier.
Several commodity groupe ex-
pressed a lively interest.
But last Saturday, he was
called in by Mr.. Freeman and
fired. Or he was told he could
go quietly or be posted to the
Philippines as an agricultural
attache.
A Short Contest
Over the week end, his
friends in Congress and the
sympathetic commodity groups
swung into action. Protests
were registered with Mr.. Free
man; requests were made that
DR.. Ralph, who had served as
the national co-chairman OF
the Farmers for Kennedy and
johnson, be given a compare
BILE post within the department
It was a short struggle.
On Tuesday, the department
issued q release in which Mr.
Ralph was represented as hav-
ing sought exile. The release
quoted Mr.. Freeman as saying
blandly: II am pleased that
DR.. Ralph has asked for this
important post IN the forelgIl

DIR. Ralph, himself, will say
nothing beyond the fact that
he is preparing to go to the
Far East and that he wishes
the Secretary and his program
well.
Casualty Of "War"
His fate was apparently
decided by a combination OF
peanuts and politics and proves
again that a man needs more
than philosophy to survive the
bureaucratic wars.
His friends say his dismissal
means the whitening on the
vine Of the "self help" approach
which enables farmers growing
various commodities to elect
their own local boards to con-
troll market supplies.
They say he is a casualty
in the war between the "high-
subsidy" and "no-subsidy" fac
lions in the Department of
Agriculture.
They charge he was offered
up to the Southerners in ex-
change for their votes for the
new farm bill.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. "a (AP) -
American education needs new
and higher goals, and a good
start would be to "stop fooling
students and the public about
what an education is"
Warren G. Hill, State COM
missioner of education from
Maine, had that blunt message
for q national convention Of
high school principals today.
Education isn't the three
Rs, or homework, or unlimited
facts, or a Phi Beta Kappa
key, or a high school diploma,
or a degree from an Ivy League
college," Mr.. Hill said in a
keynote speech prepared for
delivery to the National Asso-
citation of Secondary School
Principals.
Education is a state OF
mind, a sense of responsibility,
a commitment, a never-ending
progression toward the reali-
cation Of a dream"
Urges More Realism
Mr.. Hill said the schools
must be more realistic about
what America is, and what it
can be-
"Our students" he said, twill
not understand their own coun-
try, it's potential. its needs or
its goals by just reading STAN
dard texts or tracing Grant

"They need to know what is
being proposed for us by poll
ticians, by statesmen, by phi
losophers, and by crackpots-
they need to be able to dis
tinguish between the four, they
need to know how to evaluate,
they need to be able to come
up with their own objective
conclusions"
Mr.. Hill emphasized the need
for a commitment to quality,
and improvement Of standards.
and q willingness to accept
change.
"The new interstate high
ways are not being built with
shovels," he said. "Astronauts
are not riding in balloons. Can
Ger will not be cured with castor
oil or aspirin we need to
utilize the best possible tech
niques, new or old. We need
to base our actions on research,
not opinions"
Up to Teachers
