mildly retarded abilities is being
sormed in Washington.

The special class will be
aimed at a group of children
who have been mainly over

field, according to Milton @.
Ford and DR.. Paul E. Benoit.

SpecioI Class Forming
To Help Slow Learners

class because parents often are
hesitant to admit that their
children are slow learners.
Parents OF a child who is
definitely retarded can more
easily accept the fact, but those
with a child on the border
keep thinking the youngster
will snap out Of 1t and become
an average pupil" Mr.. Ford
said.
DR.. Benoit estimates that
there are between 5000 to 5000
such borderline students In the
District.
He feels that these young
sters require a special teacher
with particular talents and
training to stimulate them in
their studies.
Such q special class, they
feel, is not available in the
schools today.
Teacher Recruited
The men have worked to fill
this gap in the education sys-
tenn by developing this class.
They have recruited a teacher

Capitol Hill
Park Proposed
By The Associated Press

An area on Capitol Hill re-
Gently cleared of buildings
would be designated ''McCor-
mack Park" under a bill Of
fered yesterday by Republican
Monagan, Democrat of Con-
necticut.
Mr.. Monagan proposed the
name in honor Of Speaker
John w. Mccormack of Mas
sachusetts.
The area fronts on hide
pendence avenue across from
the Library of Congress and
the Cannon House Office
Building. It is Government
property.
AT the same time, the need
for the preservation of a green
area near the House office
buildings increases with every
brick and stone that is erected
in the vicinity" he said.
Mr.. Monagan first preached
the idea in the House several
weeks ago. Recalling that &C.
casion, he said yesterday:
MIR. Speaker, my suggestion
that the open space east of the
Cannon House office Building
be maintained as a green spot
and known as Mccormack
Park was received 9TH en)
with something less than over
whelming enthusiasm.
Perhaps a portion Of this
lack of response may have been
due to the fact that the Speak
er unwittingly graveled me to
silence under the minute
rule before ! could mention the
proposed name of this project

Qualification Set

VATICAN CITY, Sept. Is
(AP) 1.-The Vatican confirmed
today that John N. Neumann,
fourth bishop of Philadelphia,
will be beatified in a ceremony
at st. Peters basilica Octo-
Der 10.
The Qualification had been
scheduled for late last June
but was postponed when Pope
John XIII died June 3.
A month after Pope Paul VI
was crowned June so. Vatican
sources said the Qualification
would take place october 10.
This was confirmed today.
Qualification is the first step
toward possible sainthood.

Bohemia in 1911, went to the
United States in 1896. He was
ordained in New York and was
named bishop of Philadelphia

TREATY
Russell Seeks Rider
On Future Changes
TREATY

Continued From Page Al
national Atomic Energy
Agency. for the development
of peaceful uses of the atom.
Senator Fulbright argued
that there was a special rea-
son why the Senate had to
spell out its right to act on
amendments in that law. AS
originally presented, Senator
Fulbright said, the Atomic
Energy Act would have allowed
(Swo-thirds of the participat-
ing countries to adopt an
amendment whether we &C
cepted it or not.
Only Alternative
He said that would have
left the United States with
only one alternative of with
drawing from the organization.
For that reason, he said, the
Senate added its specific right
to pass on amendments.
In the pending test ban
treaty, Senator Fulbright said
that while a majority may
work out amendments, this
majority must include the
three major powers-the United
States, Russia and Great
Britain. He said this insures
that all amendments must be
passed on by the Senate.
Senator Russell insisted that
adoption Of his amendment
would not require renegotiation
of the treaty, or delay it in
any way. The Georgian said
this treaty is regarded as only
a first step In a program Of
disarmament, and that the
preamble is in such broad
terms as to pave the way for
future amendments.
The debate continues today
and into tomorrow, with no
prospect Of a final vote before
late next week.
Cites Problems
In summing up his position
today, Senator Jackson said:
1.-THE national security inter-
eSts of this country are, Of
course, deeply involved in a
number of other situations
quite apart from this treaty.
For example, the development
Of NATO and the obvious ef-
forts to France to reduce its
Importance; the question of
economic and political relations
between the European Common
Market and other Western
European countries, especially
the United Kingdom; tn e
strengthening of the interna-
tional position of the dollar;
the security of West Berlin; the
removal of Soviet forces from
Cuba, and the naturalization of
Cuba as a base for Communist
subverSion and penetration in
the Western Hemisphere; the
question Of American policy in
Southeast Asia, particularly
Wet Nam; and the question of
appropriate American policy
toward the developing nations
of Asia, Africa and Latin
America.
This series Of problems GER
tainly gives us no excuse to
relax. If this debate helps the
people of the United States
to really understand what they
have to do to provide safety Of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-09-13

the Nation and the preserva-
ton Of their freedoms, then
any time and attention given
to this test ban agreement is
well spent. The Senate will
have done what it can to put
the treaty in the proper per-
spective."
Sees Risks
In listing the risks he sees
in the treaty, Senator Jackson,
who is chairman of the Weap-
ons Subcommittee of the Joint
Atomic Energy Committee, said
there may be a serious mis-
judgment of the basis for the
change in Soviet policy. Then
he added:
1T is to be hoped that 1t
Is, in fact, our strength and
not a major Soviet military
chronological advance that has
persuaded Moscow that this
agreement is advantageous.
But the pesSimistic possibility
cannot be dismissed.
1T could be, as some wit
nesses suggested, that the So
Wet Union has learned some
thing important that, in its
judgment, we 70 not know but
might learn were we free to
continue testing in any and
all environments. The Soviet
government may believe that
what it has learned can be
the basis, as its development
work proceeds, for upsetting
the military balance.
IF we come to the conclu-
sion at any time that this is
the case, we must be prepared
to exercise our right of with
drawal from the treaty"
Influenced by LOvett
Senator Jackson, who led the
demand in the Armed Services
Committee for assurances from
the administration that the
military establishment will
take certain steps to safeguard
this country's present defense
posture, was influenced largely
by the views of former Defense
Secretary Robert A. Lovett in
finally coming out for the
treaty.
The Senator quoted a letter
In which Mr.. Lovett said that,
in view of the assurances given
as to the steps that will be
taken to keep this country in
a state of readiness, consent
to ratification can properly be
given.

Soviet Method
0fCriippIing
ROcketsFeared
BY the Associated Press

Russia may be developing a
system Of de-activating Ameri-
can missiles in their Silos with
the electromagnetic energy
from exploding high-yield
Soviet nuclear weapons, the
magazine Missiles and Rockets
reports.
1T could mean that the
United States has invested bill
lions of dollars in a 'Maginot
line of Atlas, Titan and Min
utemen missiles which could be
rendered harmless by the new
Soviet development" the maya
zine said in an article made
public today.
Reason for Opposition
1t said fear of this is behind
the strong opposition by many
high military officers and nu-
clear scientists to the limited
nuclear test-ban treaty now
being debated by the Senate.
The generals want more testing
to determine whether such a
paralyzing effect is possible.
Specifically, the magazine
said Gen. Thomas S. Power,
commander of the Strategic
Air Command, made the point
in his testimony before the
Senate Preparedness Subcom-
mittee in opposing ratification
of the pact.
"The testimony was severely
censored before release, with
any reference to the electro
magnetic pulse phenomenon
deleted from the text" Missiles
and Rockets said.
II the Russians do develop
such a missile paralyzer, the
said, they could eff
fectively neutralize the major
portion of the United States de-
terrent force in its silos."
This belief" the magazine
said, lis based on the fact that
United States military strategy
relies on second-strike capa-
bility which comedies the first
strike to the Soviet Union and
bases the United States deter
rent on the ability to survive
the initial attack and still re-
taliate."
Describing the effect Of the
burst of electromagnetic energy
from an exploding high yield
weapon on the electronic cir
cuitry of a missile as what
happens when lightning strikes

and then gathered in Capitol
plaza park. Their leaders
urged them to return to the
committee session today but
made no threats Of staging a
demonstration.
Finally, about 7 o'clock they
started walking down Capitol
Hill by way Of Constitution
avenue to the Presidential Arms
on G street, near 14th street
NV, for a previously sched-
uled meeting.
The general viewpoint of the
demonstrators was summed up
by John Robert Zellner, "a, a
field secretary for the Student
Non = Violent Co - ordinating
Committee. He told newsmen:
Il have never seen such I'M
necessary brutality in Missis-
sippi, Alabama or Georgia as
occurred today in Washington.
Nobody made any violent at
tack and yet we were attacked"
Police View
Chief Sullivan summed up
the days work this way:
THE officers used what force
was necessary to remove these
people. They resisted so the
officers used the force neces-
sary to overcome the resist
ance."
Mr.. Willis was no stranger
to demonstrations of this kind.
He presided at a May, 1860,
subcommittee session in San
Francisco broken up by riots
he said were caused by Com
muniSts.
Some arrests last night were
made outside the grand ball.
room of the Presidential Arms,
where about 200 sympathizers
had gathered to hear remarks
from five of the student Cuban
tour group.
Mr.. Laub, second student
speaker at the two-hour meet
ing, was protesting alleged

lier House hearing, when a man
dressed in a white shirt and
dark Stacks jumped in front
Of the microphone.
Standing directly in front Of
Mr.. Laub, with his arms raised
over his head, the unidentified
speaker said:
Hold it a minute, there's
one thing I'd like to say!"
Pushed Off Stage
At this point, Mr.. Laub
reached out and pushed the
man from the 4-foot stage, di-
rectly into the waiting arms Of
angry student sympathizers.
A general brawl broke out
as the man and three COM

members Of the American Nazi

Scores Of District policemen,
led by Inspector Otto Fuss,
swarmed into the grand ball
room. At the sight Of the uni
formed officers, order was i'm
mediately restored.
However, when the four in
truders continued brawling with
students and yelling in the
hallway outside the ballroom,
all four were arrested by police
and charged with disorderly
conduct.

about their unauthorized visit
to Fidel Castro's island.
The Rev. Felix MCGOWAN
served as moderator last night
at the students own meeting,
billed as a reply to the House
Committee on Un-American
Activities sessions at which
the students have faced critical
interrogation.
The tone Of the meeting

Father MCGOWAN contributed
his own denunciation Of what

yesterdays first demonstration.
Comparative peace seemed to
have been restored as the COM
mittee resumed questioning of
Mr.. Laub. But a second out
burst occurred after the COM
mittee adjourned at $50 pm.
1t resulted directly from Mr..
Laub's final attack on the COM
mittee as "racist."
Committee Counsel Alfred
Nittle tried to pin him down
on whether he deliberately dis
obeyed the ban on Cuban
travel, and whether the pur-
pose Of the trip was to break
the ban, embarrass the United
States and provide a sounding
board for Castro propaganda
in the United States.
Although Mr.. Laub contended
that there was no clear-cut law
against United States citizens
visiting Cuba, he finally told
the committee that:
I'm going to Cuba I carried
out an American tradition Of
civil disobedience. Plenty of
people are doing the same thing
today to fight the same kind
Of racists that are sitting up
here on this committee in front

Chairman Willis glared at
him, but said nothing. Mr..
Willis then tapped his gavel
for adjournment.
Committee members left to
the sound Of cheers, boos and
some cries Of Fascist" and
"racists go home" The chant
continued and the demonstra-
tors, apparently confined TO a
group OF about go in the
crowded committee room,
showed no signs Of departing.
A few other spectators yelled:
"Thow them out"
Police moved in again. This
time the wrestling. punching

cursing was much longer and
louder.

Considerably different YER
