Expert Advises Parent To Solve Problem Now ! HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. By DAVID KYDICK This is the time of the year to give careful consideration to your child's class placement for September. Does your child have special needs which should be brought to the attention of the school? It is possible the school will not be aware of situations existing in the home which might affect the proper choice of teachers. A par ent should inform the school of any physical difficulties such as rheumatic fever, visual delects, or hearing handicaps. Social prob lems with classmates are im portant. Let the school know if father or mother is away from home for extended periods of time. Sometimes placement with a particular teacher presents a con- flict. This could occur when a teacher is a social friend of the family. There are many factors which are valuable in making a place ment decision. These should be indicated either to the teacher, guidance counsellor, or principal. The principal is in the best posi tion to match children's needs with a teacher best qualified to handle them. Another important decision is that ol retention, promotion, or acceleration. Tliis should not be considered as a reward or pun ishment. Unfortunately many peo ple look at it in just that way. Actually the purpose is to serve the best interests of the child Each case must be weighed separately. There is no rigid rule which holds true for all individ uals. A careful evaluation by the teacher, school psychologist, prin cipal, and parent is necessary. The school philosophy and pro gram must be involved in these decisions. In most schools the policy is flexible and based upon the judgment of the professional staff. If your child is having diffi culty, find out why. This will often give a clue to the correct decision. A physical difficulty snouia oe Drought to the atten lion of a physician. Psycholoei cal problems should also receive therapy. Sometimes tutoring is needed in one or more academic areas. No decision will be fullv helpful unless the cause of the problem is traced. One of the most important problems involved in promotion is trusti ation. A child who placed in a grade where the work is too difficult will be facing im- iwssible tasks. He may become discouraged as he realizes that he has no chance for success. A child in this situation may lose confidence. He may seek atten tion by becoming a behavior problem or he may become shy aim retiring, m any case the re sults are usually serious emo tional and social problems. Ob viously a child should be placed where he has the opportunity to e successlul. The school wants to place the child properly. You can be help ful if you supply information that is applicable.

DPI Telephoto JFK Honors Soldier Dead WASHINGTON ( U PI Presi dent Kennedy paid a -Memorial Day tribute to the nation's war dead and an unscheduled stop at the graveside of former Defense Secretary James Forrestal. During brief formal ceremonies, the President Thursday placed a wreath at tire Tomb of the Un knowns high on a hill in Arling ton National Cemetery which ov erlooks the Capitol. Kennedy, who did not speak at the tomb, then w as driven through the winding tree lined roads of the cemetery containing 112,000 tombs to a remote corner. Tliere. he stopped at the graveside of Forrestal, the first secretary of detcne. He stood silently a few mom ents before the plain marKcr which reads: "Died 1049 in the cause of good government."

Former Demo Chairman Reaches 75th Birthday NEW YORK (UPII - Former Democratic National Chairman James Aloysius Farley celebrated his 75th birthday Thursday, hav- ng proved that he is one Knight of the Bath who is not ready to throw in his towel. Farley, still erect, handsome and vigorous, gave credit to his almost daily visit to the Biltmorel Hotel Baths for keeping him in the pink. He had a birthday party with his three children and 10 grandchildren Thursday, but Wednesday Farley was toasted at a party of cronies in the steam ing precincts of the Turkish baths. The former postmaster general whose most famous protege was Franklin D. Roosevelt said he was far from ready to throw in the towel in fact, it was the only thing he was wearing. He made it known lie was available for the U.S. senatorial race next year or almost any other high post his party would oiler. 'The only thing a politician has to sell is himself, said Farley, "I've got thousands of friends in this state and can call most of them by name. I could get as many votes as anyone 1 can think of." Farley, who also was chairman of the New York State Athletic Commission, shared his birthday bath with former heavyweight ti tle holder Gene Tunncy, merchant Bernard Gimbel, real estate ty coon Norman K. Winston, and a dozen other industrialists and exe cutives. Tunncy read a poem "Ode to a Bouncing Biltmnro Bath Baby" which extolled Far ley's many virtues. Later, Farley went to his of fices at the Cola Cola Corpora- lion. Aided by his granddaughter. Clare Ilickey. 5. he cut a three tiered birthday cake at a party attended by his of I ice aides and then held a news conlerence. Thursday morning he attended early mass at St. Patrick's Ca thedral, then visited the graves of his wife and parents prior to the family party. At his news conference Wednes day, Farley delivered himself of these observations, among others The two greatest problems taring the President are unem ployment and segregation. John F. Kennedy came into the V.lnte House "better quali fied" than anyone nominated for the ipnst in tins century. elaborating on his encomium for Kennedy, Farley said of the Chief Executive: "He is well educated, he is versed in politics, he has an inquisitive mind and a great memory, he is a great reader and he has great courage." Farley thinks Kennedy will "go down in history as one of our greatest presidents. As to his own political situation Farley declined comment. But he was available for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination last year, and has expressed avail ability for the U.S. senatorial race next year. Theodore Roosevelt was the first U.S. president to set foot on for eign soil. He visited Panama in l!HI6. Custom Made Slipcovers Ph. TU 2-3568 Mounting Tide Of Impatience Threatens Racial Situation In Second Largest City CHICAGO lUPll - Racial ten sions are nothing new to the na tion's second laraest city, but this spring civil rights leaders sense a mounting tide of impa tience in the air which could lead to serious trouble in the weeks ahead. If racial conflicts do explode here, they are likely to do so during the summer, which Chica go Urban League Director Edwin C. Berry calls "the riot season." "Chicagoans arc sitting on a tinder box and they very narrow ly missed an explosion in the last few weeks," said Berry in a warning to tlic Urban League's board of directors. Mood Is Critical The mood is more critical than at any time I've ever seen it. This mood will be very serious this summer as long as we don t do anything about it. We need to take immediate ac tion in a crash type of program related to equality of opportune ty in jobs, housing and education. "We currently live in an unjust society, racially speaking, and the ingredients of this racial unrest are always present. When any thing happens like the Birming ham situation or like the gather ing of the mob on the Southwest Side when there w as supposed to be a Negro moving in any little thing like that can touch it olf. Problem Grows Worse Berry and other experts in the field agree Chicago's race prob lem is longstanding and is grow ing. The ground roots of the prob lem can be told in statistics: Of the 3.S million inhabitants of metropolitan Chicago listed in the 1960 census, 813.000 were Ne gro. The 1950 census listed 3.6 mil lion persons in Chicago. 492.000 of tliem Negro. This meant Chi cago's Negro population had rose 65 per cent in 10 years while the overall population had dropped. Of tlic city's 813,000 Negroes, 520.000 live in tile South Side area nine miles long and three miles wide known as "The Black Belt." Of the rest, the overw lielming majority also live in a!!-Negro pockets. Tins is the situation that has led some to describe Chicago as the nation's most segregated city. -Almost half of Chicago's Ne groes came here from some where else. Seventy-five per cent of the persons on county relief rolls are Negro. SK'II Trouble Tlicse figures add up to trouble in tlie vital areas of housing, ed ucation and jobs. Tlic housing issue is touchiest. Chicago Negroes and whites may often work side by side, but they rarely live side by side ex cept in the tense neighborhoods wliere the "Black Belt" is grow ing. And it is growing con stantly as a steady tide of job seeking Negroes from the South pours into the slums at the core of the "Black Belt." In case after case. Negroes with the money to afford good housing must move into white neighborhoods to find it. Over and over again, the whites leave and llie neighborhood becomes all Ne gro. iBittcrncss remains behind. If tlic trend continues and Negroes cannot break out into the suburbs surrounding the city, sociologists warn that Chicago could become a predominantly Negro city '.by 1975. Efforts Mount ' - - Although Chicago's race prob lem is mounting, so are the city's offorts to meet it. Within the last decade, acres of "Black Belt" slums have been leveled. High rise apartment buildings and public housing de velopments have taken their place. n hites and Negroes have learned to live together in some of the South Side's best residential neigh borhoods. There are more Negro policemen, and the department's ability to deal with racial trou bles has increased markedly.-" FOR Color TV ACE TY 1140 Riverside Dr. 4-3581 HAVE YOUR CAR WASHED . ftfUomallcilIr in I'M thttn 10 mimics, SI. 15.
