"It should be understood from the beginning," said Hill, "that we now have a metro school system. It it a single system now." The educational phases of the rharter went into effect yesterday when the Tennessee Supreme Court upheld the legality of metro, HILL AND HIS fellow board members will forge the policies of the new school unit, made up of the old Nashville system and the county system.

A tntal af deoutiei voted for the motion of censure, well above the required majority of 241. Under assembly rules, the other 170 deputies, including those abstaining or absent, were counted as having supported the government. De Gaulle sought yesterday to counter the effect of the anticipated assembly action and appealed directly to the French people for support of his pro posed constitutional amendment providing for the future election of French presidents by popular vote.

DE GAULLE threatened to re sign if the public rejected the plan in a referendum scheduled Oct. 28. The assembly vote means that Pompidou must resign, bring ing the fifth republic to its lirst real cabinet crisis. The last time the assembly overthrew a government was in April 1958, under the fourth re public, when it toppled Premier Felix Gaillard. De Gaulle has two choices.

He can nominate another premier. But aides said before the vote 'ie had already decided to dissolve the assembly and order new general elections. THESE are expected to come on Nov. 4, a week after the referendum on the constitutional change.

The decision to keep him going was not made until 90 seconds before retro rockets would have kicked him out of orbit and started him plunging toward the Atlantic.

As details of this tense moment were being disclosed here, Schirra was having a happy reunion with five fellow astronauts aboard the aircraft carrier USS Kearsarge, In the Pacific. Schirra had risen at 7 a.m. cheerful and in fine health, had breakfasted on scrambled eggs, sausage and four cups of coffee after an eight-hour sleep. One of his first comments on arising was: "Hose down Sigma 7. I'm ready to go again!" His situation at the end of the first orbit, however, had not been quite so carefree, officials said here.
