URGENT NEED FOR NUCLEAR POWER TRAINING VOLUNTEERS FOR CERTAIN RATES IS TOLD:
 By STATION, PN3
 There is an urgent need for Nuclear Power Trainees from among Engineering ratings of the Navy.
 Effective immediately the Nuclear Power Training Schools at New London, Connecticut and Mare Island, California wi tn subsequent operational training at prototypes are designated as equivalent to Class "B" schools for the NM, FEN and BT ratings. This school can be guarun- teed under the STAR Program for eligible personnel. Automatic advancement to pay grade Els for personnel reenlisted under STAR Program graduation is applicable to this training. Eligibi lity for Nue. ~ lear Power School requires OCT plus AR1V test score combination of llO or ATT Natl of 53.
 Nuclear Power Training involves six months basic nuclea power school at New London or Mare Island and six months op- erational training at Nuclear Prototype sites at Idaho Falls, Idaho West Mil ton, New York or Windsor, Connec ticut. Students orders will all be permanent change station for each move.
 Gradua ting personnel will, to the ex- tent pos ssible, be assigned duty in Nue. lear submarines and surface ships. Those not submarine qualified must volunteer and complete submarine school if they desire submarine duty. Surface personn who are not assigned initial1y to nucleal billets will return to sea in the surface forces forming an asset of qualified op- orators for eventual assig ignment as needs of the Navy increase.
 Personnel in FEN rating completing thi; training will be changed in rating to NM in equiva lent pay grade. Requests for Nuclear Power Training from Qualified Personnel are desired in either under tho STAR otherwise. Request ts from person. el in other ratings are also desired in

SOUND ADV ICE

Paul Hornung, the Green Bay Packers star halfback is now at Fort Riley, Kansas, doing his stint as G.I.
 Interviewed recently on "Army Ii fe", Pfc. Hornung said. "It's a hardship, but like everybody else I have an obli- gation to the Uni ted States which is above every thing else. You are much better off if you accept it and not sit around feeling sorry for yourself"
 This is sound advice, particularly for the rela atively few Misplaced per- sons" called into the service who have been Misplaced persons" ever since.
 And his formula for contentment is good, too.
 IT feel very lucky" he says. All I have to do is look around me. Some of these guys served two or three years and then where recalled. Many are mar ried and have kids. I'm not married and don't have those respons ibi lities to worry about"
 It all reminds me of the shoeless man who would not cry because he met a man who had no feet.

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Girl Needs Relief
From Nightmare Life

Joanie's childhood has been
a terrible dream that never
ends with morning.
She has spent her days fend-
ing off a drunken mother who
would not stop at her destruc-
ton.
Her mother drinks incessant-
ly. She has been in and out of
Jail repeatedly on drunk and
disorderly charges.
Once, in a drunken rage, she
rushed at Joanie with a broken
bottle.
Joanie has no defenses
against her mothers fury.
The 12-year-girl cries and
runs from her. Her mother
goes after her, stalking houses
in the neighborhood, where her
daughter may be found, track

During her mothers last stay
in Jail Joanie was taken to a

for protection.
Now authorities have filed a
petition to remove her from
her mothers wrath.
So little love has left Joanie
a stranger to affection. Friends
are foreign to her. But she is

Amidon School Fence

A chain-link fence surround

The agency accepted a low

The recommendations, aimed
at better utilization of the
teaching staff of public schools,
were received enthusiastically
by members of the board. Both
will be discussed further at a
meeting August 20.
The board registered the Sc
robustness of its intentions to
embark on an educational tel
evision program by passing a
resolution asking the Federal
Communications Commission to
withhold assignment Of ultra
high frequency CUHF) chan
nels in Maryland until the
State comes up with further
plans.
Eleven UHF channels are
available in Maryland and two
have already been assigned to
private corporations.
The 12-month teacher en-
ployment program had the full
support of State Supt. Thomas
G.. Pullen, jr. He suggested the
board consider asking Gov.
Tawes and the State Legisla-
ture Immediately for funds to
employ a percentage of teach
ers on a year-round basis.
Closed Circuit TV
The educational television
proposal calls for eventually set
ting up six to eight UHF
broadcasting stations over the
State to blanket all areas. Pro-
grams from these stations
could be received on home sets
as well as in schools.
Closed-circuit programming,
which could be received only
in schools connected by cable,
also would be utilized.

Officials said it is difficult
to estimate the cost of in
stalling and operating the tele-
vision system. But DR.. Wesley
Dorm. director of research for
the State Department of Edu-
cation, said the annual figure
for a system Of open and
closed-circuit television might
range from So million to So
million.
DR.. Dorm recommended as a
first step that one UHF station
be put in operation and that
the closed-circuit programming
being experimental with in
Washington County be extend
ed to Frederick County. He
estimated this would cost $780,
900 to start.
A chart submitted with the
proposal showed UHF stations
eventually in Allegany and
Washington Counties in West

ern Shore, one near Baltimore
and one in Southern Maryland.

Georgetown
zOning Backed
Modified Plans
Unite 3 Groups
By ROBERT J. LEWIS
Star Staff Writer

Three Georgetown organiza-
tionS are on record favoring a
compromise rezoning proposal
for part of the city south OF
M street, between Rock Greek
Park and Key Bridge.
The area recently was a bat
tleground in a neighborhood
fight over urban renewal.
Under the new proposal, land
now zoned for industrial and
light industrial use could vol
unfairly be used for residential
and other purposes.
Also, existing homes in the
area-which four years ago
were categorized under new
coming regulations as mon
conforming uSes"-would be
returned to the status of fully
conforming with coming rules.
The compromise proposal has
been put forward by the
Georgetown Citizens Associa-
ton, the Progressive Citizens
Association of Georgetown and
the Georgetown Business Prop
erty Owners Association.
1t marks the first recent
rapprochement between bust
ness and citizens groups in
friendly agreement" a bust
ness source said.
Agreement Indicated
At a closed meeting of the
National Capital Planning
Commissions Zoning Commit
tee yesterday, the three groups
indicated they were agreed on
this milder form of rezoning.
Some months ago, the Dis
trict's Zoning Advisory Board
indicated it considered earlier
proposals to zone up" indus
trial property for residential
use to be of doubtful constitu-
tionality unless property own
ers unanimously consented.
Under the circumstances,
citizens said yesterday, they
were offering the substitute
proposals gin the spirit of COM
promise" in order to find a
broad area of agreement in
favor of a coming solution"
Citizens groups generally
have advocated coming controls
as a means of upgrading the
south of-M-street area instead
of urban renewal powers, which
earlier had been considered by
NCPC.
Scheme Dropped
The agency abandoned the
urban-renewal scheme after
the District Commissioners
said other areas needed it more
than Georgetown.
The question of a new method
to upgrade the area was re-
vived at an NCPC meeting June
IA, however, after a newer,
fourth organization put for
ward its own plan for improv-
ing the neighborhood.
This group-the Georgetown
Canal and Riverside Council,
which has continued to advo-
cate that urban renewal powers
be used-does not subscribe to
the compromise proposal put
forward at yesterdays hearing.
Instead. it favored a recon-
ing plan described as similar
to the earlier proposal whose
conStitutionality was ques-
toned by the coming advisory
board.
The plan supported by the
Riverside Council was devel-
oped by NCPC, agency sources
said, so that "the legality OF
such an approach can be set
tied without undue delay"
