Guards Called Govs. John A. Volpe of Massachusetts and Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York called out their state National Guards.

In New York, some of the guardsmen helped evacuate the thousands stranded in the subways. Traffic, a tangle anyway in rush hour, became a horn-blaring nightmare in some of the bigger cities when traffic lights abruptly blinked off.

The consent papers signed at the board meeting mean that any pupil, regardless of school district, has to be admitted on request to any of the classes financed by.the grant.

The same books and material to be used for the children of deprived families will be available to all pupils.

Superintendent of schools Glen DeAtley told members the $25,000 total was based on the fact that the district has a total of 107 pupils from qualifying families plus the fact that the rate to lie received will be around $500 for each pupil.
