You can't have law and order!

ference Wednesday.
icket lines manned by mem-
s of the AFL-CIO Michigan
eration of Teachers were up
38, schools in the Detroit area,
Lading schools in Taylor Town-
, Melvindale and North Dear-
n Heights, with a total en-
ment of about 24,500.
dembers of the independent
chigan Education Association
ceted an estimated 55 schools
Flint and forced the closing
il secondary schools-four high

schools and eight junior high
schools.
Tom Hill, an official of the
AFL-CIO union estimated 400
members failed to report and an-
other 100 called in sick in Taylor
Township; 125 out of a total of
220 failed to report in Melvindale
and' 55 out of 113 failed to show
up in North Dearborn Heights.
Union officials said at least one
high school and one junior high
school were closed in Melvindale
and two high schools and three
junior high schools were closed in
Taylor Township.
"The strikers are tremendously
successful, with the results ex-
ceeding our own prediction," said
Hill. "A majority of the schools
involved are educationally closed,
with the remainder crippled."
"There is no real education tak-
ing place in any of the three
school districts," Hill added.
In Flint, Associate Superinten-
dent Maurice Frost estimated only
150 of 800 secondary school teach-
ers showed up for classes while
about half the students stayed
away.
Elementary Schools Open
Frost said all 43 Flint elementary
schools were in operation, adding
that some of the reporting sec-
ondary teachers probably would be
shifted to the elementary schools
in an effort to keep them open.
There was no immediate indica-
tion how long the walkouts would
last,

"Our pos tion is the same as
before the strike," said Hill. "We
are willing to sit down and bar-
gain."
Petition Denied
Four Genesee County circuit
judges had denied a petition by
the Flint school board to stop the
planned "day of protest" walkout
today by Flint area teachers.
The Michigan Association of
School Boards has urged local
boards to impose penalties against
strikers. These could include dis-
missal, demotion and loss of ten-
ure.
But Hill declared that teachers
would not be intimidated by the
threats.
Describing the school board
group's statement as an unsophis-
ticated approach to collective bar-
gaining, Hill said:
"I think it will give teachers a
good deal more determination. To
talk about blacklisting teachers is
one of the most odious things I
ever heard."
At least one school board has
come out in opposition to the
Michigan Association of School
Board's statement.
Protest Due
The Ann Arbor Board of Educa-
tion Wednesday night said it
would lodge a protest in the form
of a letter to the Michigan School
Board Association Journal.
Ann Arbor board president
Lloyd T. Williams Jr. was spe-

cifically critical of a provision
calling for the names of striking
teachers to be placed on a list
which would be made available to
any future employer.
A $444,800 pay raise was nego-
tiated with Ann Arbor teachers
this year.
The school board in Dexter, a
small community about 10 miles
west of Ann Arbor, has unani-
mously adopted the MASB reso-
lution.
All the suburban Detroit AFL-
CIO groups are asking a base'
salary of $5,700 to $6,000 for
bachelor of arts degrees and a
maximum in eight to 10 steps' of
$9,400 to $9,700.
Under federation proposals,
teachers with masters degrees
would start at $6,000 to $6,400,
with a miximum of $10,000 to
$10,500.

'Bring Up 13
Off Dead Hui
By BETSY COHN
Unless the idea of humor has
been drastically renovated since
1938, there is little comedy ob-
vious in Howard Hawk's "Bring-
ing Up Baby." Watching Cary
Grant and Katherine Hepburn
romp about in this farcical pro-
duction, is like an endless tum-
ble through an unending mass of
scotch tape with nothing sub-
stantial on which to cling.
What cohesion there is, is a
messy array of slap-stick, a gooey
assortment of pat lines whose
conclusions are easily predictable
and a transparent plot that be-
comes more annoying as its story-
line becomes further entangled.
Cary Grant plays an unconvinc-
ing zoologist who spends his life
piecing together fragments of
dinosaurs. He works with his se-
vere, sticklfigure-fiance, Nancy,
who is the conventional staunch
lady hero.
She vows that nothing domestic
will interfere with their careers
and appoints a 400-boned double-

IUUY IF UL4
mor Cliches
mastodon as their "baby."
Grant plays an emotionless role
as he- watches his double jointed
mastodon and single dimensioned
life being laid out before him.
Keeping within the cardboard
framework of the character he
has been portraying, Grant pro-
ceeds in his usual jaw-hanging
manner to become totally en-
gulfed in the chaotic cosmos of
lively double-jointed, Katherine
Hepburn. She portrays a wealthy
woman who has nothing better
to do than devise schemes and
snares in order to keep Grant
close by her side.
Hepburn takes him through a
distorted maize of mock hilarity:
the situaions are pointless and
humorless and the amusement
tries in vain to borrow from ab-
surdity, flippant-back-and-forth
dialogue and exaggerated situa-
tions.
"Bringing Up Baby" is somewhat
of an overactive movie: too much
physical action, though nothing
strenuously mental.

Detroit's Northern High Still
'Bears Marks of Rebellion

DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN

DETROIT (R) - Nobody paid
much attention when a handful
of dissatisfied students organized
a boycott of classes six weeks ago
at Detroit's predominantly Negro
Northern High School,
But within days, the handful
had been joined by most of the
school's 2,300 students in a four-
day walkout, had won support
from adult civil rights groups, set
up a freedom school and won the
apparent removal of their prin-
cipal.
Northern still bears the marks
of the bloodless rebellion and stu-I
dents, teachers and parents are
attempting to resolve grievances
in a move that could alter the

Student leaders deny faculty
members have been threatened or
mistreated and counter with a
charge that some teachers have
been changing grades in reprisal'
against the students.
A 19-member committee com-
posed of students, faculty and
parents, is looking into grading
standards, faculty qualifications,
the physical plant, extra-curricular
activities and other conditions at
Northern.
The president of the Detroit
Board of Education, Dr. Remus G.
Robinson, has asked the panel for+
a preliminary report by June 14,
ten days before the last day of
school.

return Carty.
Asked whether Carty would re-
main as principal, Dr. Charles J.
Wolfe, assistant superintendent for
school administration, said, "I
don't know of any plan to do
otherwise."
The freedom school, set up at
St. Joseph's Episcopal Church and
attended by an estimated 1,700
students during the boycott still
is in operation.
The boycott also led to a study
of inner city schools by a citizens
committee which reported finding
that in 47 of 56 elementary schools,
fourth grade students were read-
ing at least eight months below
grade average.
In the same schools, sixth grade
students in 51 schools were read-
ing at least a year below grade
average, the committee said.
