And, like the old style, report cards will retain the space for

The letters mean exactly what mey say. One pupil who gets 63 1," cent may be marked U be- pause he can do much better.
Another pupil who gets 65 may be graded 0 because he's working Above his ability level.
Toronto educators believe -the new system will do I better job of reporting progress for both itudents and parents. Each card will have attached a note of ex- planation: "On this card...your mini is not compared with other children. This reports shows his progress in relation to his own ability"

1. Marks by themselves don't give an accurate picture of a pup- 113 progress. either to him or his- parents.

A charge that the national news- gathering agency failed to make every reasonable effort to negot-
iate a collective agreement was dismissed yesterday. - A similar negotiation charge
against Press News Limited. CP's radio-news subsidiary, was with- drawn by Guild counsel.-
The four charges dismissed to- day alleged there had been dis- crimination in various periods from early 1950 to Sept. 26 this year, the date the charges were sworn.
Magistrate Elmore upheld a. con- tentlon by GP counsel .1. J. Robin- ette that the charges could relate only to any discrimination alleged in the six months immediately prior to Sept. 28.
Mr. inobinette based this argu- ment on a criminal code provision that charges which may lead to summary conviction may only be based on alleged offences occur-
' ring within six months of data of
swearing.
' Magistrate Elmore said the union had failed to prove discrimination within that six-month limitation.
As in the case"dlsmlssed yester- day. no CP witnesses were called in defence. :
Guild representatives later said the magistr:ite's decision will be appealed. ,
The charges dismissed today. all similar. contended that the GP had discriminated against the em- ployees - H. Dent I-Iodgson. Kath- erine Rex. Douglas How and DlArcy O'Donnell - by refusing to permit them to work in the parliamentary press gallery r.t Ottawa.

Democrats Still After" Eisenhowef
NEW YORK. Nov. 12 - (AP)- The New York Times said yester- day Democrats have visited Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in Paris twice within five weeks and prom- ised him President Truman's sup- port for the 1952 presidential nomination.
The visits. the Times says. ap- peared to be part of a ttmuch more active and organized campaign than has been generally known" to get Eisenhower as the Demo- cratlc nominee.
Arthur Kroclr. Washington cm-. respondent for the newspaper. writes that he received his infor- mation from a Republican who should know and whose "standing in the nation is very high indeed."
On each occasion. the story says. the same statement was made to Eisenhower:
"It was that if. at any time be- fore the Democratic national con- vention. he would say he would accept its presidential nomination, his visitors were convinced they could guarantee lt' and he could count on the support of President
ruman.
"General Eisenhower's reported reply was: You cant join a pdrty Just -to run for office. What reas- on have you to tlilnk I have ever been a Democrat?”
The story says Eisenhower told about the proposition to a friend on his recent visit to the United States. with the remark:
"You know I have been a Re- publican all my life and that my family have always been Republi- can." '
Krock says evidence is growing that President Truman had offer- ed to support Eisenhower in "the culminating point in a major en- terprise by important Democrats seems to have failed."
The statements are a follow-up to an article published yesterday in which he had said a "thor- oughly reliable and informed source" told him Truman had of- fered such support. '
The President commented: "'I;here's not a word of truth in

"Adoption" 0f ” london Baby Sllrs Debate
zorinou. Nov. 12-(AP)-A merniber of parliament demanded an otficlal inquiry today into the
Britain by Hollywood's buxom Jane Russell.
”Wo don't want to export bab- ble: to Hollywood or anywhere else." Marcus Lipton told news- paper men.
He said he will bring the mat- ter up in the House of Commons next Thursday as a formal ques- tion to Sir David Maxwell Fyic, Home Secretary.
The baby in the case is Thomas Kavanagh, l5-month-old son of a poor family in London's working- class district of Lambeth. father, Michael. is a carpenter and Thomas is one of three chil- dren. The Kavanaghs live in I three-room flat which rents at ll. shillings 2. week.
Mrs. Kavanagh says she en- trusted the baby to Miss Russell for s three-month visit to Amer- ica "because I thought he would have a better chance there." Miss Russell has said she did not expect to adopt the child. English law prohibits the adop- tion of children of British citiz- ens by nationals of other coun- tries. ' Miss Russell and the baby left here by air last Tuesday.
Lipton filed. the following ques- tion for the Home Secretary to answer in the House next week: "I: the Home Secretary satis- fied that Thomas Kavanagh was taken from his country with his parents' consent. and will he in- vestigate the matter?"
Lipton told r carter: that inhla View "the re was rather irregular" a very least. Miss Russel. had insisted orig- inally that Thomas would be re- turned at the end of the visit. She said she didn't think it wise - to adopt a. child whose parents knew where it could be contacted. English law restricting adoption wouldn't apply in Tommy's case. She said he was a citizen of the Republic of Ireland.
