f jo\ © p\ Tell Us What Else Is New \WHO WAS Booker, T. Washington?\ the president of the San Francisco State Normal School asked 40 students \recommended by the principals of the best high schools in California.\ ..''The assassin of Lincoln,\ was one of the answers. \Who was Charles Dar- win?\ .. \One of the plotters against Scotland in the time of Mary, Queen of Sceots,\'\ another \recommended\ - student replied. Other questions produced equally startling answers. Robert Marion La Follette was identified as \the French general who helped the Americans during the Revolutionary War.\ Guesses concerning Gifford Pinchot, one of the first con- servationists, ranged from \a French politician' to \an explorer'' to \the only 'Pin- cho' I. ever heard of was a game.\ .. OF 24 FAMOUS persons put to the students for iden- tification only five were correctly identified by a majority of the students and those five were the only ones found in the high school curriculum. .. The president went up the wall. .. He opened a fiery attack on the state's secondary school teachers with the lament: ..\\What this nation is sadly needing is not more schools so much as schools of a modern type-schools which shall minister to the useful in living and not to scholarship that has ceased to be ornamental; schools which shall teach the great problems of today and not the gossip of forgotten yesterdays; schools which shall ring with the hammer- strokes of the world's workshops and not echo the hollow mockeries of time dried pedantries; schools which shall train citizens of the republic who, as civil patriots, will battle as heroically for their civic, social and industrial liberties as their forefathers battled for war ideals.\ -ORLANDO (Fla.) SENTINEL State Delays Report on | WNY Jetport BATAVIA - A State Dept. of Transportation official confirm- ed today that a preliminary draft of proposed jetport sites in Western New York has been sent back to the consulting firm for answers to several questions. Howard B. Clarkson, acting development director for the Dept., of Transportation, told The News today that \basically we had a lot of questions\ after going over the preliminary draft submitted by the Long Island consulting firm of Dixon, Speas & Associated. ' Mr. Clarkson confirmed a Buffalo newspaper report that one of the questions being asked is why consultants put so much emphasis on the Sandridge dam and reservior as a deterrent to the proposed Newstead - Alden site for the jetport. However, he added, \that was only one example that was pointed out to them. There were many other things that we want clarified.\ The state official said he was reluctant to give a time schedule for receipt of a final draft from the consultants since it is al- most impossible to keep to these schedules.

U.S. negotiator William J. Porter told the Communists that \only substance will keep us at this table.\ Hanoi and the Viet Cong condemned President Nixon's address to the nation Wednesday as a trick and denied northern troops had invaded the south. ' \It will not be practical to hold meetings if you continue to refuse to deal with the substance of both the present invasion (of the south) and general problems of peace, including prisoners of war and those missing in action,\ Porter said. \We have some hopes this morning that we are not out ° here to play around,\ Porter told newsmen before the start of the session. The first comment from the Viet Cong came as negotiators gathered to resume the peace talks suspended by Nixon March 23 on the grounds the Communists were using the conference only as a forum for propaganda. | The United States and South Vietnam agreed Wednesday to end their boycott of the weekly negotiations and accepted an April 20 proposal of the Viet Cong and North Vietnam to hold the 148th session of the talks today. Later the North Vietnamese announced the possible return to Paris of Le Duc Tho, a member of North Vietnam's _ Communist party politbhuro. He conferred 13 times last year with Henry A. Kissinger, Nixon's national security advi- ser. \It is very possible Le Duc Tho will return to Paris within the next few days,\ said Xuan Thuy, Hanoi chief negotiator. \We do not pose any difficulties as far as the form of negotiations is concerned, public or private meetings,\ Xuan Thuy said. \The essential thing for us is to settle the Vietnam problem peacefully. But we can talk about private negotiations only with the resumption of the public conference.\ Albion Budget Is OK'd - ALBION-The tentative budget of $951,987 announced April 10 was officially adopted at a special meeting of the Village Board last night, calling for a tax rate of $30.24 on each $1,000 of assessed valuation, the same as last year. The tax levy of $487,164 is an increase of $26,341 from last year's figure, but is offset by a 5.7 per cent growth in assessed valuation amounting to $871,096 absorbing the budget and levy increases. An anticipated sur- plus of $45,000 by June 1 also was used to help reduce the tax levy. Salary and fringe-benefit negotiations with represen- tatives of the police and public works employes still are un- settled.

Troop Withdrawal To Go On: So Will Raids - By HELEN THOMAS WASHINGTON (UPI ) Despite the continued Commu- nist offensive, President Nixon has decided to pull another 20,000 troops out of Vietnam; but he said the bombing raids on the north would continue as long as the attack persists. - Nixon, in a nationally tele- vised speech Wednesday, also indicated he may have secret assurances that Hanoi is now ready to negotiate in good faith. The new troop pullout would bring the U.S. force level to 49,000 by July 1-a date by which the administration be- lieves the Communist invasion of South Vietnam will have run its course, according to pres- idential adviser Henry Kissin- ger. The date also coincides with the rainy season during which time Hanoi would have difficulty waging the kind of ground war in which it is now involved. P Refers to Negotiations Referring to the peace negotiations which resumed in Paris today, Nixon said *\'We are resuming the Paris talks with a firm expectation that productive talks leading to rapid progress will follow through all available channels.\ That phrase seemed - to indicate Nixon - may - have received some behind-the- scenes assurance as a result of Kissinger's meeting in Moscow last weekend, at which time he was presumably made aware of what the North Vietnamese were willing to do to get the talks started again. Nixon said the South Vietna- mese had shown great progress on the battlefield and \we can now see the day when no more Americans will be involved at all.\ But Nixon made it plain he was not going to stop the raids on the North as a condition for resuming the peace talks. PRICE 10 CENTS atic Proposal Rejected \I have flatly rejected,\ he said, \the proposal that we stop the bombing of North Vietnam as a condition for returning to the negotiating table. They sold that package to the United States once before, in 1968, and - we are not going to buy it again in 1972.\ Before Nixon's appearance, the National Peace Action Coalition announced plans for demonstratons Saturday in nearly 20 cities to protest the war and said there would be a nationwide campus strike next week. Referring to that and to similar dissent which has erupted since he resumed bombing Hanoi and Haiphong, Nixon said; \The Communists have failed in their efforts to win over the people of South Vietnam politically. General (Creighton W.) Abrams believes that they will fail in their efforts to conquer South Vietnam militari- ly. Their one remaining hope is to win in the Congress of the United States, and among the people of the United States, the victory they cannot win among the people of South Vietnam or on the battlefield in South Vietnam.\ DA Seeking Change In Drug Indictment ALBION The Orleans County district attorney's office is seeking to amend an in- dictment handed down by a grand jury last year charging a 19-year-old Medina youth with criminal possession and sale of dangerous drugs. In a motion presented yesterday before the court of Judge J. Kenneth Serve, District Attorney Hamilton Doherty asked that the indictment against Donald J. Sietz charge him with possession and sale of lysergic acid dyethylamide, commonly known as \LSD\. Doherty said the indictment, which followed work by an un- dercover agent in November of. last year, \through a clerical error'' charged Sietz with possession and sale of mescaline. The sealed indictment against Police Working Overtime ALBION - Police in the Village of Albion have been working overtime for the last week as the result of a resignation April 18 bya member of the force. Albion Police Chief Francis McCabe said today some members of his department have been working 12 hour days when possible to avoid overly exerting the men. Yesterday, Wallace Mapes, a member of the force for four- and-one-half years, said he submitted his resignation to the village board in order to take a job with a private company. Mapes, a 28-year-old resident of Albion, said he would be starting work as a mixer this week at the Thomas J. Lipton company on West Avenue. The resignation brings the work force on the department to seven full-time men, one of whom has not yet received his permanent appointment.

Read it, use it, and make it a proud summer. Sietz was returned at the same time indictments were made against six other men including Roy Scotch, 23, of Middleport who was given five years probation by Judge Serve this week after he pleadedguilty to fifth degree possession of a dangerous drug. . Another man, David Morgott, 19, of 711 Orient St., Medina is scheduled to come to trial May 10. Sietz has been scheduled for trial May 2at 10 a.m.\ In papers filed with the district attorney's office and dated April 18, Brockport attorney Thomas Calandra, counsel for Sietz, maintains that his client \denies selling the drug ... on the date in question and can verify his whereabouts and the events of that day.\ Calandra argues thatthe \only evidence (against Sietz) .. .is the uncorroborated testimony of a single undercover police agent who testified before the Grand Jury....\ . \'The defendant has now graduated from Medina High School,\ the Brockport lawyer states in the papers, \is gainfully employed and has made ap plication to several colleges and has been accepted....\ Calandra, who also maintains that his client \is no longer connected or involvedwith drugs in any way...,\ says in the papers that conviction of Sietz '\'would constitute an in- surmountable impediment in the pursuit of his further education or career.\ In a motion to be filed today before Judge Serve, Doherty maintains \that if every in- dictment against every defen- dant who suddenly decides he wants to continue his education were dismissed, the fair ad- ministration of justice would be substantially hampered.\ Court Removes Roadblock For New Holley School HOLLEY - In a decision rendered Monday State Com- missioner of Education Ewald B. Nyquist has denied the appeal of Leland C. Hurd, Hurd Road, Holley, to void the special Holley Central School District referendum which approved by a seant majority vote of 683 to 655 a $4:6 million bond issue for a new junior-senior high school. Stated Nyquist in his deter- mination, \The petitioner (Mr. Hurd) contends that the result of the election should be set aside because of the respondent's failure to comply with various requirements of the Educational Law. His objéctions are more form than substance and I have determined that the appeal must be dismissed. - 'He. argues there is a possibility that several non- resident students might have voted at the election. No evidence to sustain his speculative assertion was sub- mitted.\ The commissioner pointed out that no one challenged the votes of the allegedly unqualified students; there was no basis on the record to conclude that oc- casional absences of short duration by the permanent omission was wilful- and fraudulent. The failure of the newspaper publishers to publish the notice four successive times was caused by errors on the part of the newspapers in which the advertisements were placed. \the substantial attendance clearly refutes any allegation that people were not sufficiently advised,\ he declared. In addition, Commissioner Nyquist ruled that there is no merit to the argument that the inspection officials are under a special duty to challenge allegedly unqualified voters. \Section 2029 of the Education Law places equal responsibility upon all voters of the district to assure that only qualified voters are permitted to vote,\ he concluded. Robert E. Heath, attorney of the HolleySchool District Board of Education, said yesterday, \This. confirms our position that the meeting on Dec. 9 was legal and valid. We now look forward to completing the project ap- proved by the voters for the construction of a new junior- senior high school building so desperately needed in the Holley district.\ chairman of the meeting in any | way prejudiced the ri'fibt of any voter to submit a challenge. He also stated that the district's failure to maintain a poll list containing the names and legal addresses of every person who voted is not a suf- ficient reason to invalidate the results. The failure to comply with notice requirements for the special meeting is excused under [ Section 2010 of the Education Law, which provides that no meeting or election shall be set aside for want of due notice unless it appears that the Lottery NEW YORK (UPI)- The win- ning number picked today in New York State's weekly 50-cent lottery was 258689.
