Intelligence is ustflffly much higher on poor report- cards than achievement indicates. eventual dropping out. Report cards measure a students achievement in school. They are, according to statistical studies, the best indicator of how well a student will do in college. When a report card comes home the week of Jan. 25 to 29, look closely at it.

Both- the fast student and the e slow student same score; and yet, the slow student does so much more work. Most teachers grade each student on. his own achievement, based on his ability. Grading this way usually causes some students within each class to complain that some of their classmates received higher marks than they did. Johnny may get a half grade or maybe even one full grade higher than his scores indicate because of his desire, his preparation, and his hard work.

Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara is being pillored from coast to coast and from border to border. Important senators are outraged and threaten reprisals. Key governors and mayors are striving mightily to persuade President Johnson to overrule the Pentagon. Several congressional investigations are promised. The plain facts are that McNamara is under orders to cut defense spending where it can be done without weakening our national state of readiness. After years of study, he has concluded that the U.S. can save $477 million annually by discontinuing, reducing or consolidating defense activities at 95 places, 15 of them overseas. When fully effective, at least a decade hence, 63,401 employes will lose their jobs. This is too bad and everybody sympathizes with those personally affected. However, a benevolent govern- tion that it will take up to 10 years to close a bfcpe. The Portsmouth (N.H.) Navy Yard, situated in a small city of 25,000, will not be shuttered completely until 1975. McNamara appears to have leaned over backwards to reduce hardship to a minimum. The other big Navy installation due to close is the Brooklyn, N.Y., Navy Yard. Because New York will hardly feel the impact, the schedule calls for the shutdown to Sfc complete within 18 months. The Jtfavy yards at San Francisco and Mare Island,1 Calif., are to be merged by next July. Some politicians have protested that the cutbacks were not announced until after election, and suggested that political considerations dictated some of the decisions. The evidence to date is that military men made military decisions as to what would be pared, and politicians can readily understand the timing of the announcement, post-electi- election. Neveitheless, there will be no cutbacks at any base in Arizona. The evidence suggests that charges of political motiva- tion are unfounded. Some communities due to lose a base may find it a blessing in disguise. For one thing, the federal government pays no taxes on land it uses. More than one-thiof a million acres of land will be sold by the U.S, and restored to the tax rolls. Some of rd this property is highly valuable. York, Pa., presents an interesting case history. In World War II, the Navy built an ordnance plant there, which employed 3,650 workers at its peak. When the Navy decided to close it last year, there were 1,100 on the payroll a fairly substantial number in an area with a population of around 125,000. The Navy gave two years notice of its intention to quit York. Community leaders went to work at once. A private firm was found to operate the Navy plant a year before it was due to close. The Navy pulled out but 85 per cent of its employes stayed on, and in short order the payroll tripled, and the city began receiving $70,000 annually in added taxes. If some of the politicians who are screaming so loudly will stop shouting and go to work, the same story can be repeated elsewhere. Brooklyn Navy Yard Robert F.
