The officials said investiga tions of several West Coast sites had been strictly "ex ploratory" and that there were no plans for abandon ment of recruit training at Alameda in the near future. No funds have been budgeted for a new site, they said. Unsurpassed Comfort for the RUPTURED! Washineton - aipn Th only about 500 men, while the training station would require housing for from 1,500 to 2,000. . Alameda Base To Ba Kept The Coast Guard has been seeking a site for relocating training facilities at Alameda, but Smith said it now ap peared the California facility would be retained. He said it had been estimat ed that major rehabilitation work required at Alameda would cost from $15 million to $20 million. However, he said, the cost could be spread out over a period of years. Smith said the cost of con verting the Oregon base for training use by the Coast Guard would be "too high" and that the base itself was "too big.'' However, Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore), who has de manded that a use be found for the station, has suggested the base could be shared by more than one agency. Smith said the Coast Guard had looked at several West Coast installations that have been declared excess and abandoned by the Defense De partment. None, he said, had turned out to be suitable. Other Coast Guard officials had indicated earlier that Tongue Point was the only Coast Guard said Thursday mat tne abandoned Toneue Point Naval Station near Astoria, Ore., would be "com pletely unsuitable'' for use as a recruit trainine center.

(UPI) Local Action Groups Help To Solve Integration of Schools By AL KUETTNER UPI Correspondent As racial segregation bar riers have toppled in school districts of the South, grass roots citizens' organizations spearheaded by parents and teachers often have paved the way to a peaceful transition. Since the days of the Cen tral High School desegrega tion crisis in Little Rock six years ago, the local action groups have had their fling at the civil rights issue. Their names have become staccato symbols of the problem. S-O-S. ABLE. OASIS. HOPE. Those were the trademarks for parents who banded to gether to insure continuing classes in the face of home town integration. A new group in Birming ham has joined the others. Held First Meeting The organization is known as PEP for "Public Educa tion Peacefully." It held its first meeting Tuesday night in Birmingham, which has been ordered to submit a school desegregation plan in August. J. Vernon Patrick, an at torney who lives "over the mountain" in th residential suburb of Vestavia, presided in a courtroom on the third floor of the Jefferson County Courthouse. With him up front were six or seven PEP leaders who had hoped to at tract a crowd sympathetic to keeping schools open, even if desegregated. A crowd of approximately 350 packed the courtroom, spilling into the balcony. They carried placards with such remarks as "Birming ham - Betrayed But Not Beat en." Patrick and his PEP group tried to talk about schools but it did not go well. Ralph Edwards, a steel mill worker who identified himself to the crowd as a "redneck," told Patrick to "sit dow.i, you don't even live in Birming ham." Patrick Was Ignored Patrick's group had brought a projector and a document ary film about how Dallas, Tex., had peacefully deseg regated its schools. The chair man asked someone in the back room to turn out the lights so the film could get started. He was ignored. The meeting finally broke up without any action. Out side segregationist pickets paraded around the court house. Another Alabama grass roots session went into action with better success. This was "Alabamians Behind Local Education" (ABLE) at Mobile, which also has been ordered to desegregate schools. The group was promptly desig nated as ABLE. An ABLE announcement said that "whatever our feel ing on this issue, Mobilians must stand together again to preserve the school system for which we have worked and paid taxes." 'Save Our Schools' A delegation from Atlanta's "Help Our Public Education" (HOPE) and an "Organization for Assisting the Schools in September" (OASIS) went to Mobile recently to confer and give advice. Mobile was fol lowing much of the Atlanta plan. In New Orleans, a similar group was called "Save Our Schools" (S-O-S.) Jacksonville, Fla., picked the title of "Aid September Students in Sensi ble Transition" (ASSIST). Five such groups were active in Virginia. Basically, the activities of all the groups were the same - providing speakers for civ ic and community clubs and PTA meetings and lobbying before legislatures and local government bodies. They have worked to encourage dis cussion of the problem. They have helped school and police officials in spotting and iron ing out difficulties before, during and after the transi tion. Mrs. Dan Burge, of Atlanta, a HOPE leader who went to Mobile, said "We found there a group that didn't want to overturn the community but simply wanted to prepare for this thing in a calm and In telligent way. They didn't want to bypass anything ex cept racial misunderstanding."

Greta D.-Whcn my father's second wife died last year, he came to live with my hus band and me. We had some difficult adjusting to do es pecially to get our teen - age children used to the idea of having an aged parent around, an dit's been a restricted life for us all. What helped us stick it out was the agreement I'd made with my brother to take turns caring for Dad.

Lloyd N. - My father's a remarkable old boy of 87, and I love him dearly, but I can't do more for him at this point than help out financially. I've had a year in which to try to change my wife's animosity toward Dad and I've failed. She recalls how he opposed our marriage (she was a di vorcee), and the many times he tiffed with her. I'm caught between them. I thought aft er all these years she'd be "big," but Dad would be mis erable with us. Tha Council - Behind Lloyd's statement lurks the cloud of an unhappy mar riage, a "cold war" existence of two who go through the motions of the married with out having a real marriage. Since this case is not primari ly about Lloyd's marriage, we'll limit ourselves to one ! point for Lloyd's wife: She'd ; be surprised at what her kind ness to her father-in-law could achieve for her marriage and ! her own happiness. If she has ! any love for her husband, she should see the pain in his eyes now, and lessen it by ! helping him "do right by" J his dad ... As a September suggestion, here's a two-way approach: To give Greta some respite, Lloyd makes himself responsible for their father's week ends. If he can't play host to the venerable gentleman, he can at least call for him each morning and "companion" him for the day. Meanwhile, a family counsel or (either a specialist on mar riage or on aging) should be consulted about the sick fears ' which keep Lloyd's wife from i making him, his father, or ! even herself happy. ucl UN YUUIf MARK!
