Grant Asked

Teacher Plan

The Maryland Board OF
Education is preparing a request
to the Ford Foundation for a So
million grant to finance q
demonstration program on how
teachers may be more effec-
lively employed on a l2-month
basis.
State School Supt. Thomas @.
Pullen and Richard A. Schifter
a board member from Bethesda,
last week held preliminary
meetings with foundation Of
ficials in New York prior to
starting a detailed report on
the project. 1t should be ready
in the fall, Mr.. Schifter said. #.
The foundation two years ago
gave Maryland educators $15,-
900 to plan the study to show
how several hundred teachers
from all counties could be used
on a 12-month basis. The year.
round program would include
summer workshops, curricula
study projects. and development
of educational television.
At the conclusion Of the
demonstration project, educa-
tors say they would see If 12-
month positions would attract
more teachers, reduce turnover,
and eliminate the practice Of
faculty members taking outside
jobs to augment their incomes
during the summer months
when schools are closed.
Mr.. Schifter said If the
foundation approves the grant,
the program probably would
begin in the summer Of 1864.

BALTIMORE, Md, May 49,
Former Maryland Congressman
Thomas F. johnson told a jury
today that he agreed to accept
$25,000 from J. Kenneth Edlir
rather than the customary 6
per cent fee on q foreclosure
which would have totaled

ing for two days about legal
services that he claims he
rendered to Edlin. The Gov

cepted $17,550 for visits and
telephone calls to the Justice
Department on Edlin's behalf.

fees which he said was paid

ard practice to have received
6 per cent Of the indebtedness

veloping 5000 acres near Wal
dorf, Nd, on which Mr.. Boykin
held a mortgage.
I'VE had a rather full dis
cussion," Mr.. johnson said.
The parties present were
amazed at the costs Of the fore
closure"
At the conference in May
1861, he said he discussed the
fee with Edlin. Mr.. Robinson
and Mr.. Boykin. He said they
asked him what would be q
more reasonable fee, experss-
ing concern that $360,000 wal
much too high.

EdIin Foreclosure Fee
Reduced, johnson Says

Mr.. johnson testified. II was
told that this was still a lot
of money. The agreement was
reached when I suggested q
fee Of $25,000."

Tide of Equality

The Arlington School Board has
used precisely the right words in stating
its policy determination to exclude race
"as a consideration in any personnel
actions"
This phrase means first that Negroes
should not be Disseminated against in
hiring, assigning or promoting school
employees. It also means that Negroes
are entitled TO no special treatment
In these matters solely because they
are Negroes. This is another way OF
saying that the assignment OF school
employees should be conducted on the
basis OF merit, and that is the rule
which the School Board and its admin
istrative staff should follow.
Adoption OF the new policy was
not unexpected, since 1t is in full accord
with a recent action by the County
Board affecting all other employees OF
Arlington County. We commend the
School Board for a decision which is
obviously right.

The Door Is Open

Alabama'S Governor Wallace has
had his brief moment on the national
stage and has made his theatrical bow
to superior Federal power. The door
OF the University of Alabama has been
opened to two Negro students, and the
Governor has gone back to the States
capital city of Montgomery to continue,
as he put 1t, the fight which we are
winning"
Everyone, including the Governor,
knew, OF course, that the students would
be enrolled. But Mr.. Wallace apparently
felt that he had to go through with
his threat to stand in the door" and
personally bar the applicants. In their
turn, the Federal authorities evidently
were determined to avoid the actual
use OF force, or anything else which
might tend to make martyr of the
Governor So, with much hemming and
having, this farce of a conformation
was played out to the end-but the
end, as anyone could foreSee, was the
upholding of the Federal authority and
defeat for the Governor. How he can
possibly think he is winning" this fight
is beyond us. And before the courts are
through with him, even the Governor
may discover the difference between
winning and losing.
While this comic opera performance
was being played out in Tuscaloosa,
violence was prevailing off stage. A
Negro demonstration leader was shot
and killed in Jackson, Mississippi. On
Maryland's Eastern Shore, three white
men were hit by shotgun blasts and
police narrowly averted a serious riot
there. In Danville, Va, major disorder
continued. And there were fresh calls
for new demonstrations elsewhere, in
Guiding massive, militant and monu-
mental Sit-in" in Washington.
Against this background, President
Kennedy appealed again for prompt
action to accord Negroes their legiti-
mate rights Promising to send a civil
rights package to Congress next week,
he warned that "the fires of Illustration
and discord are burning in every city,
North and South, where legal remedies
are not at hand" He also said I'VE have
a right to expect that the Negro COM
munity will be responsible, will uphold
the law, but they have a right to ex-
pect that the law will be fair; that the
Constitution will be color blind :"
A good speech. If it goes unheeded,
the consequences will be unimaginably
serious.

KeppeI on Punishment

Two Of our better known Harvard
men, each the father of two children,
share the opinion that the correction of
youngsters should be emphasized at
home-with the help of the modern
counterpart of the woodshed if neces-
Sary.
But while President Kennedy SHE'D
away from the propriety of corporal
punishment in the schools, Commits
sioner Of Education Francis Keppel now
has expressed positive viewpoint on
one of the District schools vexing
problems.
Mr.. KeppelS approach is quite sim
liar to that recommended by District
School superintendent Hansen and
backed by large majority of school
teachers. He told national televiSion
audience meet the Press) he believed
principals under Every controlled cir
cumstances" should be granted au-
thority to exercise corporal punishment.
However, Mr.. Keppel restricted the
application to urban centers where
behavioral problems are most difficult.
Implicit in his remarks was the unfor-
tunate fact that too many homes in the
larger cities fail to provide proper dis
cipline for children.
This is the reason Superintendent
Hansen justifiably has stood his ground
in urging a firmer disciplinary policy,
simply by lifting the ban on corporal
punishment and having the right to
dismiss or suspend unruly pupils. In
Congress, the House already has over
whelmingly voted such authority-an
example the Senate should follow.

S.W. Recreation

The Southwest Neighbor-
hood Assembly. whose Tues
day night meeting was COW
cred in The Star, wishes to
express its appreciation for
your interest in reporting our
attempts to fuse the South
west into a unified commu-
nifty.
There was one seeming in
accuracy In the article
("Southwest Citizens Form 2
Task Forces ~, which we
know you will want to be
aware Of. This was the ref
erence to recreational facili-
ties. The fourth paragraph in
the article reads: AT pres
ent. public recreational IA
cilities are not planned for
the Southwest area until
1885,"
In fact, there are fine and
substantially adequate pub
lie facilities in the area al
ready, maintained at four
Fairgrounds in Southwest by
the d. c. Recreation Depart
ment and at the Metropoli-
tan Police Boys Club. How
ever, these facilities have
suffered somewhat as a re-
suit Of the upheaval caused
by continuing redevelopment
activities. Until construction
comes to a halt, the Recrea-
ton Department is virtually
powerless to proceed with its
full scale program OF plan
ned activities and play
ground improvements. The
Southwest Police Boys Club
is also a casualty OF the re-
development process, as its
premises have been sold by
RIA TO a private school
which intends TO take pos
session shortly.
The concern expressed in
the Recreation Task Forces
report related 10 this regret
table dimunition OF recrea-
tional facilities and 10 the
lack Of q public swimming
pool In Southwest. II was this
aforementioned facility that
evoked the greatest audience
reaction. The Recreation De-
partment hopes that one will
be In operation In 1865. The
citizen concern is 10 push for
the construction Of a public
pool as early as possible, and
this was the mandate re-
ceived by the Recreation
Task Force.
