The right to read is not guaranteed by the U. S. Conbut by authority of President Richard Nixon, who in 1971 announced a sweeping new federal program to end illiteracy in this country.
It was the Right to Read Program. Its first goal was that 90 per cent of all Americans over 16 years old, and 99 per cent under 16, would be able to read sufficiently well that they could function as adults by 1980. The program, after two years, has not really made much progress, reading authorities claim. Wrangling over jurisdiction between the Office of Education and the National Reading Council and its National Reading Center in Washington, D.C. has delayed and confused the picture.
The Office of Education supposedly was to be responsible for implementing Right to Read in the public school system; the Council and Center are responsible for coordinating efforts in the private sector. The President promised $200 million for the program; he has yet to ask Congress for any new money to fund it. The administration has scraped together $1.5 million to establish the Council and even that had to come from various budgets within the Office of Education. Top personnel have come and gone and the continual change of leadership has been reflected in very little constructive acitvity being done for the Right to Read Program. An "Inquiry into Right to Read" will be the topic of a panel discussion to be held in Newport News Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
at Deer Park Elementary School at the intersection of Rts. 17 and 143. It is open to the public and is being sponsored by the three Peninsula Reading Council affiliates of the International Reading Association: Hampton, Newport News and Williamsburg James CityYork County. The Right to Read Program has reached Virginia but in only one pilot program, at Controversy Conflict Thorpe Junior High School in Hampton. On the panel to tell about the Hampton program will be Dr.
Joseph H. Lyles, assistant will discuss state and local asdiscuss state and local aspects, and Mrs. Jo Ann Fama, the program's coordinator, who will review the specific Thrope School program, Also on the panel will be Nathaniel Dixon, acting director of the National Reading Center, who will review the national aspect; Dr. Betty H. Yarborough, professor of elementary education at Old Dominion University and a recognized authority in this state on reading problems, who will play the role of the "devil's advocate" in asking leading questions about the program.
Dr. Concetta Wilson, reading coordinator for the Newport News Public School System, will serve as moderator. A film on Right to Read will precede the panel discussion. Mrs. Else Walker, a member of the city school board, will give the welcome.
Questions will be accepted from the audience. A refreshment period will follow the program. Continued From Page Three Continued From Page Three said he opposed the plan or that he was even considering submitting one himself." Yacobi, however, said, "This type of activity is typical of what has been happening. During several stages of the negotiation, Blackmon advised the men not to go out on strike but to call in sick if they didn't get what they wanted and it was only the FOP leaders who convinced the men not to do this." At this point in the discussion, Bradbery interjected "But we sincerely believe the members of council and Mr. Lawson have been working on what they hope to be a good, sound pay proposal and we definitely didn't want to make things any more difficult for them than they already are.
That's why, when we know they are trying, we offered our support of Mr. Lawson's proposal. We favor any plan that will assist the But despite what may be the well-meaning intentions of both the FOP and Blackmon in getting a raise for the policemen and among several council members there seems to be little doubt that both sincerely do want increases for the policemen the current controversy within the department over tactics and personal freedom may be causing numerous problems. Currently, the FOP membership includes approximately 170 of the 220 man police force, but the minority of non-members has recently become more vocal although many still refuse to make "on the record comments" for publication. Blackmon was not available for comment on the current situation Saturday, but it is expected he stands behind the proposal he submitted to council via Lawson.
So the dispute continues and as one member of council said "There isn't likely to be any decision on a pay plan affecting the police department until those people can get together on what they want. After all, if these men can't agree on what's right, how is the council supposed to make a fair appaisal of the situation?" Union Continued From Page Three which was "a personal thing, arrived at entirely voluntarily." He said he had the greatest respect for both professional and non-professional employes at the hospital, along with members of the executive committee. "Patrick Henry is a great place," he added. "I wanted to stay but I also wanted to leave like a gentleman. I felt I should leave.
I submitted my resignation Feb. 20, to become effective at the end of April. I believe that's 75 days notice." He did not offer any explanation as to why he left earlier but did comment "I learned a lot at Patrick Henry." Cooper, who is chairman of the Tidewater Hospitals Association, said he intended to remain in the area and "get into another related field." In addition to hospital administration, he is qualified as a pharmacist. Fire Damages Hampton Home A fire attributed to a defective floor furnace caused heavy damage to a home at 17 Scotland Road, Hampton, early Saturday. No injuries were reported at the residence of David E.
Watts, according to Fire Capt. C. W. Burgess. Damage to structure and contents amounted to approximately 50 per cent of value, he said.
The fire was reported by Watts at 1:11 a.m. Phoebus Fire Co. sent two pumpers while the Hampton Company sent a utility vehicle. All remained on the scene until about 3 a.m., Captain Burgess said. Damage was largely confined within the tw structure which has been covered by aluminum siding.
This, Burgess said, caused the fire to travel up the wall beneath the outside sheathing.

A Hampton man has been arrested by Newport News police and charged with the rape of a 14-year-old girl. Mason Haynesworth, 31, of Culotta Drive, Hampton, was arrested Friday night and charged with the Feb. 22 rape by Det. J. Sutton and Det.
D. E. Burgess following an investigation by Det. L. D.
Ledford. He is specifically charged with abducting the girl in Hampton and transporting her to Newport News where the sexual assault took place, according to Det. Lt. E. G.
Wright, Haynesworth is free on $5,000 bond. In other reports, Elwood Lawrence, 5570-H Orcutt was treated at Dixie Hospital Friday for a gunshot wound received on the left side in a quarrel with his wife. According to Wright, no charges have been placed in the incident, but the Homicide Squad is investigating. A second arrest has been made in the March 1 burglary of Bill Loy's Market, 76 Buxton Ave. Det.
Wright reported a 15-year-old was picked up Friday by Det. L. D. Ledford, Det. S.
R. Saunders and Sgt. R. D. Collier.
Another juvenile has already been charged in the burglary. Dorothy Brown, 1609 Ivy told police Friday she was robbed of her purse by a juvenile at about 8 p.m, while she walked near her home. The purse contained $27 and personal papers. Burglars were busy Friday night, according to Wright. They took a color television set, watch and radio, all valued at $300, from the home of Walter Jacobs, 1225-27th took a four track tape system and television set, both valued at $375, from the home of Friel J.

Oliver Cassius Lydons, 22, of Sirkay Drive, Chesapeake, listed as former cab driver, has been charged with the morning robbery in which the previously charged man, Lawrence Buford Miller, of Kenny Lane, Portsmouth, is alleged to have wielded a gun and demanded money from a bank teller.
advance methods of cargo handling the container age. Billups claims the loading or unloading of containers arriving in Newport News by truck are unloaded by railroad personnel, work which should be done by ILA gangs. Knowledgable waterfront people explain the difference in the tariff charged by the Chessie System--about $4.50 is because there are no scales in Newport News. Container handling in Newport News costs $18.50 for those not on wheels while the charge in other Hampton Roads terminals is $23. The difference is a weighing charge in other terminals.
Chessie System tariffs are regulated by the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), which requires they must be published. It has been revealed several interests have approached Chessie System with an idea in leasing the operation of the port. However, because of the amount of interest which the Chessie System pays the state on bonds for both Pier and it has been reported the applicants' interest came to a sudden halt. Accident Continued From Page Three but could not say if the car had hit the truck at any time. After the car stopped spinning, Pierce drove up to the scene and went to the spot where the tractor-trailer had plunged through.
He saw Powell in the water and heard him calling for help. Pierce, who cannot swim, said he ran to his truck, pulled out the 50-foot water hoses and tied them together. He threw one end of the improvised lifeline to Powell and, with the help of two men from the crowd that was gathering, pulled Powell out of the water. No one who knew how to swim could be located in the crowd, said Pierce, so they could only look in vain at the partially submerged tractor-trailer and hope for a sign of Outlaw. Some of the crowd has gone to assist the woman.
She told them she was all right. She was later taken to Riverside Hospital, treated and released. State Police divers E. L. Jones and P.
K. Hargis located Outlaw's body at about 5 p.m. under the cab of the tractor-trailer. Trooper McKinney said during the confusion at the scene something had been said about calling Ft. Eustis divers.
But, according to McKinney, by: p.m. the military divers had not shown. He said someone had told Newport News police that State Police divers were being called to the scene so that either the Ft. Eustis divers were not called or they had been told not to go to the scene. According to Ft.
Eustis authorities, a request for divers had not been received. Outlaw's body was taken to Pretlow and Chapman Funeral Home, Smithfield for final arangements. A crane will be taken to the accident scene early this morning to pull the tractor trailer from the James River. Seeds Of Many Kinds Of Plants Preserved FORT COLLINS, Colo.
