D. Mars|laIs
Are A|erted
On FireWorks

Fire marshals have been
ordered to be on the lookout
for fireworks that might be
illegally stored in the District,
Capt. Warren c. Kelly of the
fire marshal's office said today.
The discovery of $4,000
worth of the July 4th special
ties in a warehouse in the
1900 block of Twenty fourth
street NV, yesterday prompt
ed the early breakdown, Capt.
Kelly said.
Capt. Kelly identified the
owner of the fireworks as
Bernard T. Simel, 81, of the
200 block of C street Sc. He
said police charged Mr.. Simel
on four counts involving the
sale and possession Of illegal
fireworks and failure to OBJ
tain a license for their sale or
an occupancy permit for their
storage. Mr.. Simel posted $l35
collateral for q court hearing
Wednesday.
The Fire Department super
vised the transfer of the fire
works from the warehouse to
Virginia, where the use of some
fireworks and their sale are
legal, Capt. Kelly said.
Capt. Kelly said his office has
approved about so permits for
the sale Of fireworks so far
this year. Upwards Of 200 sale
permits are issued each year, he
said. Only two wholesalers are
licensed to store the fireworks,
he added.
He explained that the Dis
trict has strict regulations
against the sale and use of fire
works in an effort to guard
against injuries. Only those
fireworks which have been
certified by the fire marShal's
office can be used here legally,
he said.
A strengthened regulation
this year. Capt. Kelly said, is
the requirement that the fuses
be protected with a cap or
tapped down to guard against
accidental ignition during stor-
age or display.

Discipline Plan Rejected
By School Committee

position from DR.. Mordecai w.
johnson, and stubborn resist
ance from DR.. Euphemia L.
Haynes, chairman Of the rules
committee. Carl C. Smuck voted
in favor of both proposals.
report Planned
Mr.. Smuck said he planned
to submit a minority report
to the full board next Wednes-
day. The board could then
accept or reject the minority
report. But it appeared virtually
certain that DR.. HanSen's pro-
poSals lacked the necessary six
votes on the nine-member
board to eliminate a board rule
against corporal punishment
and modify another rLie to
allow dismissal of uncontroll-
able students under l6 years.
Mr.. Smuck moved in COM
mittee for approval of both
proposals. He said he was una
ware in the committee debate
on the corporal punishment
proposal that a motion in COM
mittee did not require a second.
1t first appeared that the
corporal punishment measure
died in committee for lack of
a second, but the committee
went on to vote directly on
both provisions.
Board Member Irving B.
Yochelson said of the corporal
punishment defeat, 81 think
the committee is ignoring the
overwhelming weight of the
very best citizens of the COM
munity." Twenty-three Of 80
speakers at Mondays hearing
favored DR.. Hansen's measures.
But DR.. johnson Yesterday
charged that opinion favoring
the measures was fostered by
hostile members Of Congress
and the Washington Board of
Trade.
He declared that until re-
Gently DR.. Hansen had never
brought before this board any
intimation Of a disciplinary
problem Of any nature requir-
ing drastic action"
DR.. Hansen said he had
changed his position Of con-
fidence in adequate discipline
after carefully consulting
teacher opinion. Six out OF
seven professional teacher or
CARNATIONS backed his stand
at Mondays hearings.
A House District supcommit-
tee late last month concluded
hearings on two bills which
would bypass the Board Of Edu-
cation and permit Washington
school officials to use corporal
punishment and to dismiss un.
ruiy students.
The two pending measures
introduced by Representative
Whitener, Democrat OF NORTH
Carolina, were supported by
Mr.. Hansen. but opposed by
several members Of the schoo
board.
One would allow principal,
and teachers to "use reason,
able force" TO maintain class,
room discipline. The othel
would allow teachers to suspend
or dismiss uncomfortable pu,
pills, subject to the school su,
perintendent's approval.

BY DAVID BREASTED
Star Staff Writer

A school board committee
voted 81 yesterday to reject
District Supt. Carl F. Hansen's
recommendations for corporal
punishment and dismissal of
unruly students.
The votes were taken by the
District School Board Rules
Committee. The two proposals
will go before the full nine
member board Wednesday.
That knocks the props out
from under those two propos-
ais" DR.. Hansen said.
He had recommended that
the ban on corporal punish
ment be lifted and that unruly
pupils in the compulsory at
tendance bracket to subject to
dismissal from school.
Rebuffs Teachers
The action ran sharply
against the grain of citizen
group testimony Monday on
the two measures at the best
attended public hearing of the
school board in years.
Even more strongly, the &C
ton ran counter to the opin-
ions Of the overwhelming ma
jority of the city's professional
teacher group membership.
DR.. Hansen would not COM
ment on the possibility of
teachers feeling letdown over
the board action. But, he said,

State Boards
Comment on
!ntegrationHit

The recent State board of
education stand on desegrega-
ton policies in Prince Georges
County school was unsatisfac-
tory, a citizens committee said
today.
In a letter to County School
Supt. William S. Schmidt, the
Prince Georges Citizens Educa-
ton Committee said as a result
Of the State boards statement
on the issue last Friday, it is
considering taking its petition
for total county school deseg-
regation to a more authori-
tative forum"
The primarily Negro commit
tee had petitioned the State
board last spring to require the
county to redistrict the school
system, that districts be based
on geography alone, and that
children be required to attend
schools closest to their homes.
Still in Transition
After an investigation, the
State board issued a statement
Friday saying "the tempo of de-
segregation has been stepped up
in the county" but added 1t is
still in a transition period, and
should be terminated at the
earliest practicable date"
The committee wrote Mr..
Schmidt that lit is clear that
the State boards decision did
not grant all the requests" in
the petition. The committee
added that 1T is also clear .
that the State board expects a
clear public statement" from
the school system or the county
school board on desegregation
policies.
The committee called for IAN
early date" for an end to all
racial discrimination in county
schools in the forthcoming
statement.
The State board, the COM
mittee wrote. clearly has not,
as the committee requested, re-
