AmidonP lanDue Tryout
Target Date
OF This Fall
Is Considered

The so-called Amidon Plan
-stressing basic subjects,
phonics in reading, rigid cur
riculum planning and teach
ing the class as a whole
rather than in small groups
lis headed for a tryout in
county schools.
School Board President
Charles w. Bell in a surprise
move Monday night disclosed
that he and his three recently.
elected colleagues on the board
are pushing such a plan. And
that School Supt. c. Taylor
Whittier had agreed 1t was
worth trying.
On Whittier's suggestion, the
plan - initiated in 1860 at the
Districts Amidon School with
results that have drawn nation.
al attentions expected to be
tried out at one of three new
elementary schools opening this
fall - Bushey Drive, Farmland
or North Kemp Mill.
Whittier, however, has not
completed a study Of what Is
involved In setting up such a
new program and action was de-
ferred at the Monday night
meeting pending further study
by him.
1t was also put off on the In
sistence of the three minority
School Board members who
said they were unaware the ma
jority members were consider
ing such a program and they
said they needed more time for
study.
District School Supt. Carl F.
Hansen, a strong advocate Of
the Amidon plan, announced
recently that nearly 80 per cent
Of test scores made by Wash.
ington's Amidon Elementary
School pupils last year equaled
or exceeded national norrns.
He said 95.7 per cent of the
Amidon scores were above the
national scores; IT per cent
equaled them, and 2.5 per cent
were below.
He termed the results "phen-
omenap since 1861 test scores
at the school which showed
Amidon with 76 per cent above,
six per cent equal to, and IS
per cent below national norTms.
Whittier was earlier reported
as not too enthusiastic about the
plan but Is now believed ready
to give the method a fair trial.
In another development Mon
day, the School Board heard a
report that recent studies show
county pupils are reading faster
and better than similar pupils
over the nation.
Tests showed students here
are an average Of six to eight
months ahead of children of the
same age, grade and aptitude In
reading vocabulary and four to
six months ahead in reading
comprehension.

county signed a 99-year lease
with them providing that they
would operate the airport itself.
Accordingly, the county owns
the airport land although the
airport will be - under the
terms of the lease operated
privately for the next 95 years.
Buildings, when they are paid
for, will be owned by the
county.
Silver Spring Attorney Will
liam B. Wheeler represented
the owners before the County
Council and the Board of APP
pealS when the industrial Zon-
ing and special exception per-
hitting use of the land as an
airport were granted. He also
signed the lease with the county

Federal Aviation Agency has
ruled the Airpark is ineligible
for an FAA grant under the
present method of operation.
But ALLEGATION of the requested
100000 grant by the county to
the operation might lead to re.
consideration by FAA and sub

Mr.. Bosch prepared to ad-
dress the nation by radio and
television from Santo Domingo
tonight. He is expected to re-
view the crisis and welcome
the intervention Of the United
Nations and the Organization
Of American States.
At the outset Of the crisis
more than 100 persons took
refuge in nine embassies, fear
ing reprisals in DR.. Duvalier's
efforts to head off a threatened
May is revolt. Haitian troops
invaded the Dominican En-
basSy in an attempt to get at
% there. and Mr.. Bosch
dispatched ships, planes and
thousands of troops to the
border 80 miles northeast Of
Port au Prince. He threatened
to order an invasion unless the
refugees were released.
~ Relations Broken
Haiti broke diplomatic rela-
tions with the Dominican Re-
public and the Embassy staff
returned to Santo Domingo.
The Colombian Embassy has
taken over protection Of the
refugees in the Dominican EN-
basSy.
Thirty refugees have been al
lowed to leave from other en-
bassies.
Reliable sources said Haitian
Army units Of an undetermined
strength were sent toward the
Dominican border yesterday.
These reports could hot be veri-
fled. Government officials
avoided foreign newsmen.
Informed sources reported,
however, that Haiti is ill-pre-
pared to meet an attack Of any
size. Haitian Army strength
was placed at $500 men with
the officer corps decimated
by recent purges. The army
has only one 400-man tactical
battalion; the rest are military
police.
The navy has only a few
small craft, the air force only
four World War II vintage
Mustang fighters.
Most Of the fighting would
have to come from DR.. Duva-
ler's l0,000-man private army
and civilian militia, most of
which apparently is concen-
trating on defense Of the big
white presidential palace.
