According to the building

Carran pointed out that city
officials will not approve the
construction Of new apartments
( in all parts Of East Cleveland,
but only in those areas and on
those streets where in their
opinion they seem advisable.
In commenting on other plans
for 1862, the city manager as
serted. "The police and fire de-
partments will try to improve
upon an already excellent rec
ord Of life and property pro-
lection and safety.
at is hoped that with the CO
operation Of all citizens, civic
groups and other organizations,
and the various city depart
ments, East Cleveland can be
made a cleaner place in WHICH
to live and that the litterbug
can be persuaded or compelled
TO mend his ways here.
800 Trees Planned
"As part of an annual pro-
gram, the City will plant 300
new trees in the street curb
lawns this spring, some in new
locations and others to replace
old trees that have been re
moved.
East Cleveland citizens can
all be Of great help by doing
business in East Cleveland and
thereby enabling the retail

petitive business conditions.

This reacts against adjacent

Commission President Paul

observations said, "the Com

movement Of traffic during
severe winter weather.
wm sure there are going to
be times this winter when the
prompt arrival of an ambulance,
a fire truck, or a doctors car
will depend on some unsuspect-
ing drivers good sense and
preparedness" the chief said
thoughtfully, "and ] hope TO
heaven he'll come through.
Sometimes our life and
health can depend just as much
on open streets and highways
as it does on the free-flowing
blood in the unclogged veins
and arteries Of our bodies he
continued.
1t Could Happen Here
He described a situation
which could easily happen right
here at any time between now
and next April:
Suppose you had life-and
death emergency at your house
in the middle Of a severe snow
storm" he suggested. And
suppose the ambulance or the
fire truck couldn't get through
because traffic was hopelesslv
blocked by some fellow trying
to drive without the necessary
equipment. You wouldn't like
that, and you wouldn't like to
be that fellow blocking the way,
either"
Recalls Experience
The chief recalled the kind
of winter experienced through
out the east last winter He re-
minded that il can occur here,
one or more times, this winter.
"Chainless cars were stalled
and abandoned in the streets.
Even snow plows and emergen-
cy vehicles, although properly
equipped and able to go,
couldn't get through until the
stalled cars were dug out and
towed away. Now some cities
have ordinances which, when a
state of emergency is declared
during a winter storms, author
ize the arrest of persons who
after this warning insist on
driving without tire chains or
even snow-tread tires.
Doesn't Enjoy Being Severe
"We don't enjoy being severe
about this problem, but we do
understand the seriousness Of
ii, and it is our duty to be pre-
pared to cope with such emer-
gencies by anticipating them.
Right now I'm urging all We
hicle owners, if they haven't
already done so, to equip their
cars so they can move them
under severe winter conditions.

New Test
On Schools
Indicated

RICHMOND, Va, May 10 (AP)
The Prince Edward County
School case today appeared to
be heading for another journey
to the Virginia Supreme Court
Of Appeals.
Federal Judge Oren r. Lewis
indicated as much yesterday in
a three-hour hearing at which
he was asked to order the
reopening of the county's public
schools. closed in 1859 to avert
desegregation.
Though he withheld an i'm
mediate decision, the Judge
hinted repeatedly he would re-
turn the case to the State Court
for a ruling on whether the
school clos:ngs violate the Vir-
ginia constitution.
The judge upbraided attor-
neys for Negro plaintiffs for
failure to pose the constitution
al issue squarely, according to
his directions, when the case
first went to the Virginia
Supreme Court last year.
On that occasion, the States
high court did not meet the
constitutional issue head-on,
ruling only that the State con-
stitution did not require Prince
Edward supervisors to appro-
pirate funds for schools.
Robert L. Carter, counsel for
the Prince Edward Negroes,
came before Judge Lewis with
a request that he direct the re-
opening of the public schools
on a desegregated basis.
Mr.. Carter told the Judge
the primary question wasn't
whether the closings violated
Virginia's constitution, but
whether the cloSings violated
the United States Constitution
and the 14th Amedment.
But Judge Lewis interposed
repeatedly to say he regarded
the constitutionality of the
closings under Virginia law as
paramount.
81 want an answer to that
question and I'm going to get
an answer to that question, "
he told Mr.. Carter.
In addition to the Negroes
request for an order directing
school reopening, Judge Lewis
heard motions by the defense
to return the case to State
jurisdiction and to lift an in
junction forbidding the use of
State or local tuition grants
for white private schools in
the county.
He took all the motions un-
der advisement.

To Be Tested
Al Jefferson
S-Point Revision
Of Junior High
Courses Slated
By DAVID BREASTED
Star staff Writer

The Districts successful Ami
don plan will graduate to junior
high school next year.
Jefferson Junior High School
in Southwest Washington will
be the testing ground for a
beefed-up course of study
closely patterned on the basic
subject Amidon plan.
Supt. Carl F. Hansen yester-
day announced an eight-point
major overhaul of the junior
high curriculum. The "Jeffer-
son Plan" he said, will place
heavy emphasis on intellectual
development through a chal-
lenging and carefully struc-
tured curriculum.
I'VE want to teach these stu
dents how to think" DR.. Han
sen told a press conference at
tended by several hundred
teachers and supervisors at the
Amidon School at Fourth and
1 streets S.W., where the basic
subject system was developed.
What 1t Means
DR.. Hansen told the meeting
the program of basic subjects
in sequential and logical order"
will mean:
/. A required liberal arts cur
riculum for all pupils, regard
less of their track level, based
on the organized subject mat
ter.
Q. More development of in
tellectual power and less en-
phasis on the seventh, eighth
and ninth grade years as a
guidance or exploratory"
phase.
3. Continued courses in art,
music, shop, printing, home
economics or business only
where they have intrinsic value
for the individual"
Less Social Life
4. Less social activity because
of greater stress on academic
work. DR.. Hansen did not speci-
fly which activities he would
cut out. But he asserted that
many youngsters get the i'm
preston after elem entary
school that learning is behind
them, and social life before
them.
5. A deepened curriculum in
upper tracks. particularly in
languages, math and science.
DR.. Hansen advocated a form
of Great Books program" in
cluding IS major modern and
classical works for upper-track
seventh graders. Eighth and
ninth graders in upper tracks
would become familiar with a
total of rs selected major works
in literature, science, political
or social thought.
The Districts Foreign Lam
guage in Elementary Schools
program would continue into
seventh grade for upper track
pupils, with required Latin as
a foundation for alternate-day
study of French or Spanish.
g.. Direct teaching" with
careful demonstration and ex-
position. DR.. Hansen also said
that discussion seminars will be
scheduled.
Z. Development of critical,
problem solving techniques in
students.
ga flexible time schedule to
allow longer or shorter periods
as needed, which would be a
departure from standardized
45-minute class periods.
jefferson at Eighth and H
streets S.W. would continue as
a city-wide school, with OPEN
ings next year for a full 200
pupils in seventh grade, and
about S. each in the eighth and
ninth grades, according to
Principal Elizabeth c. jamie
son. Enrolment will be about
500.
