"We must maintain an atmosphere in our schools that is conducive to our youth progressing and achieving in their studies," said Fulton, candidate for mayor of Nashville in the Aug. 7 election.

"I SAID SOME several days ago that as mayor I would not permit politics to mix with our schools, and I school property, and 65 assaults on students by other students. "It is my belief," Fulton-said, "that school problems should be handled by our-school officials if at all poss- ible, and that the less interference there is from the" outside the better for the schools. I also believe just as strongly in discipline in the schools, and if and when the school officials ask for help they will get help." StiH phsts by Robert Jehnion Candidate Greets State Rep.

W.German Students Visiting Here ONE OF THESE, critics claimed, is in the argument over eugenics, the science of improving hereditary qualities through social control of human mating and reproduction. "There's very much an element of 'brave new world' in this," the NCCL commented. "And it's not a direction in which we believe society should move." Some doctors said it was only a matter of time before such a case ended up in court. "Neither side can point to any clearly defined rules or precedents and for this reason alone the outcome of the case is of major importance," one London doctor said. THE GIRL IN the case, who under British law has not been identified for publication, was made a temporary ward of court last month after a campaign by her school psychologist no the NCCL to prevent her sterilization.

The operation had been scheduled tor a few days later. Her doctors say she suffered from a rare condition known as sotos syndrome which causes large bone growth called "gigantism," behavioral problems and often mental retardation. They claimed she has reached puberty, is capable of becoming pregnant and could produce malformed children. HOWEVER. THE case as serious this fall as some school officials and police-fear.

He added, however, there is little room for his optimism when one views the statistics from the last, school year. IN THE FALL semester in Nashville last year there were 33 attacks on teachers and other school officials by board in the programs it orders for maintaining discipline in the schools." Fulton said that in the course of his campaigning throughout the community the past month, he has found many parents concerned for the safety of their children while in school and while going to and from school.

This summer 129 students and 14 teachers from the Nashville area toured Europe as part of the program, staying in homes of students in various countries. MCCHAREN said participants in the program are chosen by teachers from public and private Metro schools.

"THE PURPOSE of the program is to create international friendships, goodwill and understanding," McCharen said. While they are in Nashville, the students will be entertained by their host families.

LONDON (AP) A British judge will rule early next month whether an 11-year-old mentally subnormal girl who, doctors fear, could give birth to malformed children, should be sterilized. The case has-caused an outcry in Britain and an uproar in medical circles, where sterilization is a touchy issue. But it has also raised far-reaching moral and social questions. CRITICS CLAIM that if a child can be sterilized for alleged social reasons, then thousands of other children and adults can reasonably suffer the same fate. Amid the furore over the case, the British Broadcasting Corp.

reported three mentally retarded girls, all under 16 years old, have been sterilized by doctors who feared they could give birth to malformed children. The state-subsidized network said the girls all live in Sheffield, the northern industrial city that is the center of the sterilization issue. It quoted "two confidential sources" in the city. THE HEALTH Department declined all comment on the report, but Health Minister Dr. David Owen ordered an investigation.

Whatever the judge. Rose Heilbron, decides in the High Court after weeks of agonizing examination, it will have a major impact. One way or the other, it will have a profound effect on doctors' freedom to decide what is best for a patient, whether a child has any rights, how far parents can go in deciding their chil-. dren future and how society cares for subnormal children. IT WILL ALSO provide legal guidelines for the first time on sterilization, on which the present law is vague and on which doctors to a creat extent have to rely on their own moral and social judgments.

Commented a spokesman for the National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL), which helped take the case to court to prevent the girl being sterilized: "It is a classical example of conflict between human rights and expert judgment. It has 2 Girls, 14, Missing Since Last Tuesday Alice Mae Travis, 14, of Goodlettsville, and her guest, Mary Lou Hixon, of Lyles, have been reported missing since Tuesday The Travis girl, an 8th grader at Goodlettsville Junior High, is discribed as being 5-feet tall, and weighing. 100 pounds. She has long blond wavy hair and blue eyes. She was wearing blue jeans and an orange halter.

She was also wearing blue The two girls were last, seen a Rivergate movie theater where they had gone to see a 7 p.m. movie The Metro Police Department's youth guidance divi-son' reported no foul play is indicated in the case, but urged anyone with information regarding the missing girls to call the division at U.S. Asked To Assume Loans on Buildings CLEVELAND (AP) The federal government has been asked to take over $30.2 million in insured loans for Park-Centre, an apartment office complex here, hailed as a cornerstone of 'Broadview Savings Loan Association, which holds the insured loans, asked the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to accept the property.

The case came to light when the psychologist, Margaret Hamidi, found out about the doctors' plans and objected.

She works at the special school attended by the girl in Sheffield. "She is not mentally retarded," Mrs. Hamidi declared. "She's clumsy and below average, but in the past two years she's improved considerably. She's learned to swim, ride a cycle and walk upstairs normally." ONE OF THE doctors, Dr.

Ronald R. Gordon retorted: "This girl can never be normal. She has a high chance of producing an abnormal child." Gordon, a pediatrician, said the girl's mother had agreed to allow the sterilization and the girl herself understood the implications. However, human rights lobbyist Dr. Donald Gould has declared: "Dr.

Gordon cannot have it both ways. If the girl is as retarded as he would have us believe, then she certainly must be incapable of giving any kind of informed consent. "But if she can appreciate the technical, personal and emotional issues involved then she must possess a degree of intelligence and power of reasoning which make the decision to deprive her of the chance of motherhood a monstrous one Housing Administration many ramifications.

Sens. Hugh Scott, and Edward M. Kennedy, principal sponsors of the bill, said Saturday that Cox has agreed to take the job. He willwork without pay ''as a public service, a Kennedy aide said.

THE LAW IS being challenged by Sen. James I. Buckley, and and former Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy, D-Minn.

Buckley and McCarthy have challenged the constitutionality of the law, which places limits on contributions to candidates, limits spending by candidates, authorizes public financing for presidential candidates and establishes a new federal election commission. Cox is currently a law professor at Harvard University. He was the first Watergate special prosecutor, and was fired from that post by former President Nixon.
