NEA Backs Appeals in Teacher
Exam and Free Speech Cases
Register Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, D.C.--The National Educa-
tion association last week joined in two fed-
eral appeals court actions involving teacher
rights--with the South Carolina Education as-
sociation (SCEA) against discriminatory use
of the National Teachers examination (NTE)
and with the Aurora (111.) Education associa-
tion East (AEAE) against school sistently found that this right

ers’ free speech. dorr: under the Constitution, the
In a “friend of the court” brief notes.
The brief also points out that
court rulings have established
that a governmental agency can-
not condition granting of a priv-
ilege on abridgement of funda-
mental rights. Therefore, the
brief declares, the board’s at-
tempt to force agreement with
its policies must be struck
down since “ho such extortions
of facts and beliefs could con-
stitutionally be wrung from the
teachers as a condition of con-
tinued employment or Increas-
ed benefits.”
brief filed March 27 in sup-
port of a federal government
appeal, NEA and SCEA asked
the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in Richmond, Va., to
reverse a lower court ruling
upholding use of NTE scores
by the Chesterfield county, S.C.*
school district to deny reem-
ployment to experienced teach-
ers. Teachers In the state do
not have tenure and must be
rehired each year.
The brief points out that the
county’s black faculty dropped
33 per cent during three years
of desegregation beginning in
1968-69, which coincided with
imposition of the requirement
that every teacher have a "B”
or better teaching certificate-
indicating an NTE score of at
least 425. Since, however, the
numerical score represented
by the “B” category has chang-
ed over the years, the brief
notes, the dismissed “C” teach-
ers had in many cases scored
as high or higher than the
"B” teachers who were retain-
ed.
Thus, the brief charges, the
policy could not have been de-
signed to upgrade the faculty
and it was discriminatory since
It was Imposed with knowledge
that only black teachers would
be eliminated. Further, the
brief points out, even Educa-
tional Testing Service, develop-
er and scorer of NTE, has
acknowledged that the examin-
ation “doesn’t measure suc-
cessfully anything for an in-
service teacher...’’
In the Aurora case, NEA and
the Illinois Education associa-
tion are supporting the local
association’s suit In the 7th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals,
Chicago, to overturn a lower
court’s approval of a school
board policy excluding from
recognition as a bargaining
agent any organization that “as-
serts the right to strike. ”
AEAE's brief states that
plaintiff teachers were denied
an increase In salary and hos-
pitalization benefits solely be-
cause they refused to sign a
contract stipulating (a) that
their association had violated
this board policy and (b) board
withdrawal of Its recognition
of the association as bargaining
agent was valid.
The brief contends that the
board’s policy Is unconstltu-

Cancer Control
Eyed by
Researcher
By JOHN HENRY JONES
NOGALES, Arlz.--A leading
black American cancer re-
searcher has shown for the
first time that a human sub-
stance can prevent human can-
cer cells from producing tu-
mors In experimental animals.
This work may have great value
as a tool in cancer control.
Edgar E. Smith, Ph.D., des-
cribed his work to 55 eminent
scientists, Including four Nobel
prize winners, and 65 of the
nation’s leading medical
writers at the American Can-
cer society’s 15thScience Writ-
ers’ seminar In Nogales. Dr.
Smith Is associate professor
of biochemistry and surgery
at Boston University School of
Medicine.
The compound Is called cyclic
AMP, because of Its chemical
structure. Its role as a regula-
tor in a wide variety of reac-
tions In the human body was
first discovered in 1956 by
Nobellst Dr. Earl W. Suther-
land, who chaired the panel
when Dr. Smith spoke.

Tuesday, April 17, will be the day of deci-
] sion. That day. the voters of the city will go
to the polls ana make decisions on four places
for the San Antonio city council.
And it i s important that citizens go to the
polls and vote -- vote FOR progress and the
city's future.
Nauseatingly disgusting have been the tac-
tics of some candidates supporters, who have
unloaded lies \and filth and innuendoes on the
citizens of San Antonio in a desperate, do-
anything-to-win effort for the candidates they
support.
Charles Becker is honest and forthright.
Anyone who i s familiar with just a little San
Antonio history knows that he is not guilty of
actions and statements attributed to him. It
is ridiculous to dignify such trash and filth
by denying it.
What San Antonio needs now is sound lead-
ership to direct it from the muck and mire,
to solid ground and to inspiration.
Charles Becker can provide, will provide,
that leadership. ,
San Antonio is entitled to progress, to de-
velopment, to the high ground of nope.
The voters must give it to themselves.
There is no better starting point than Charles
Becker. ,
Vote for Becker for Place No. 3, and you 11
be voting for San Antonio for Place No. 1 in
Texas and the Southwest.
For a good supporting cast, Register asks
the voters support and votes for the follow-
ing, with our reminding voters again of
Becker.

East Side Health Clinic
Opens Monday Morning
A much-needed service will become avail-
able to East side residents, next week, with
the dedication of a health clinic in the 200
block of Rio Grande street.
The inaccessability of major medical facil-
ities to the total population is a problem of
nationwide proportions. Large, well-equipped
medical centers serve an un-
deniably Important function to
the community, but due to their
size, they must be built far
from the densely populated
areas.
Locally, the Bexar County
Hospital district, In coopera-
tion with the San Antonio Met-
ropolitan Health district, Ini-
tiated the neighborhood health
clinic program to meet this
need.
The neighborhood ambulatory
health clinic for the East side
will open April 16, in the Met-
ropolitan health district east
side branch. The clinic Is lo-
cated at 210 North Rio Grande.
Presently, the hours of oper-
ation will be from 1 p.m. to
6 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Appointments can be made by
calling 223-6391.
A special ceremony official-
ly marking the establishment of
this new service to East side
residents will be held Monday
morning, April 16, at 10 o’clock
at the clinic. Speakers will be
Dr. Harvey Komet, chairman
of the board of managers of the
hospital district; Warren G.
Harding, administrator for the
hospital district; William Dona-
hoe, associate city manager;
and Dr. William Ross, direc-
tor of the Metropolitan Health
district.
The East Side clinic will
serve as a primary entry for
members of the East side com-
munity into the hospital sys-
tem for health care. In the
past, patients could seek med-
ical attention either through a
private physician, the ambula-
tory clinic at Robert B. Green
Memorial hospital, or the em-
ergency room at Bexar County
hospital.
With the new clinic available,
East side residents will have a
more efficient and effective
method of obtaining medical
care, since It acts as a direct
extension of the large medical
center directly into the com-

Lad. Hit in Chest,
in Fair Condition-
Investigation Goes On
A four-year-old boy was in fair condition
Tuesday afternoon at Santa Rosa Medical cen-
ter after being treated for a .22 caliber bullet
wound in his chest.
Homicide detectives are still investigating
the circumstances leading to the shooting of
Robert Lee Gilmore of 145 Ambrosia.
Mrs. Joyce A. Smith, the
boy’s mother, told police her
son came home late Monday
morning and told her another
boy shot him on top of a hill in
back of their home.
Mrs. Smith said her son was
holding a .22 caliber revolver
she normally kept in her purse.
The purse had been on a top
shelf in one of the bedrooms
of the home, officers were told.
Police quoted the mother as
saying she did not know how
the boy got the gun nor did she
see any other youths around
the area.
Police said the boy could
give no description of his as-
sailant.
Young Gilmore was taken to
Baptist Memorial hospital, then
transferred to Santa Rosa Med-
ical center.
Sutton Seeks
Property Bill
Amendment
State Representative G.J.
Sutton of San Antonio has Intro-
duced an amendment to his
House Bill 1601 which relates
to the purchase of the Perry
Shankle Center street property
in San Antonio as a state com-
plex.
The amendment seeks fund-
ing for the purchase from State
Building fund No. 7 which has
monies available for such a
purchase.
Representative Sutton point-
ed out that the north side loca-
tion of the USA building made
it wholly impractical. Sutton
also noted that the Center street
location Is more accessible to
the majority of people who re-
quire service from the agen-
cies which would be located In
the proposed complex.
Sutton cited the excessive
expense of the USAA building,
along with the obvious absence
of any viable projects or en-
terprises east of the downtown
business district. Sutton Issued
the following formal comments:
"A report of the State Board
of Control dated February 28,
1973 Indicates that the state is
presently occupying on a per-
manent basis 86,576 square feet
In the San Antonio area and
paying an annual rent of
$439,674. This same report In-
dicates that the State Is cur-
rently leasing 110,476 square
feet of temporary offices. The
lease on these offices will run
anywhere from one month to
seven months during calendar
year 1973. The permanent space
rental plus the temporary space
adds up to a one-year rental
expense of $607,293. If we con-
sider only the permanent space
and do not consider the state’s
temporary office requirements,
the purchase of the Shankle
property would be a great bar-
gain for the taxpayers. In fact,
the purchase of the Center
street facility would pay Itself
off In less than two years. Con-
sidering a less than two-year
payout, the purchase of the
Shankle property becomes an
extremely attractive proposi-
tion.
“The Center street location
is tne most practical and econ-
omical answer to the state’s
needs In San Antonio. Perhaps

Self-
Defense
Ruled
A man accused of murdering
a soldier In 1971 walked away
a free person Monday when
175th District Court Judge
Preston H. Dial Jr., dismissed
the charge against him on
grounds of self-defense,
Frank Parramore, 22, of 653
Gulf was charged with killing
Eddie Freeman III of 225 Du-
moulln on July 18, 1971.
The incident occured in a
motel In the 1600 block of North
St. Mary’s street.
Parramore, who was out on
jail under $10,000 bond, and his
attorney claimed self-defense
In the slaying. The district at-
torney’s office, unable to prove
otherwise, asked for the dis-
missal.
Police said Freeman was
killed from .38 caliber bullet
wounds in his neck, arm, chest
and back after he went to the
motel in an attempt to collect
$108 owed him.
