Daily Press, Tuesday, August 3, 1982 3 Castles Named To Head Guard 'Recall' Of Pupils Pursued 1MU fit- It: 't i 5 iH.illi i A -r-: CjJu i' I 5 1 Ml I 4 "i I Castles 1 1 I radcis I I I I i if I i RAFFLE HOUSE RICHMOND (AP) Gov. Charles S. Robb named Brig. Gen. John G.

Castles on Monday as adjutant general of the Virginia National Guard. It had long been assumed the governor would not reappoint Maj. Gen. William J. McCaddin, who has come under fire recently for allegedly not maintaining adequate morale and combat readiness in the Virginia Guard.

McCaddin, 54, appointed by former Gov. Linwood Holton in 1971, has resigned to accept a position wiih the Selective Service in Washington. He Is a former president of the National Guard Association of the U. S. Robb said command experience was his overriding consideration in selecting Castles, 57, who has held Guard positions in several Virginia localities over a 20-year period.

His commands have included the Infantry Rifle Company in Charlottesville, the Infantry Battalion in Lynchburg, the Task Force, 4030th Support Center in Staunton, the 116th Infantry Brigade in Staunton and the Field Artillery Group in Sand-ston. Castles, owner and operator of a cattle farm in Corbin in Caroline County, is a member of the Caroline County Board of Supervisors, a position he said he will resign when he begins his new duties in about 15 days. He is a graduate of the Infantry Officers Candidate School at Fort Banning, the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, the Judge Advocate General Course at the University of Virginia; and the Senior Reserve Component Officers' Orientation Course at the Army War College at Carlisle, Pa. During World War II, he served in three major campaigns in Europe as a rifle and weapons platoon leader. He was a replacement 2nd lieutenant in Gen.

George Pattern's 3rd Army during the Battle of the Bulge. Castles' military awards include the Army Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star, the Combat Infantry Badge, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Virginia National Guard Service Medal with six clusters and the Virginia Dis- POWHATAN (AP) Some Powhatan County parents want students whose education has been flawed to be The parents want children who are pep forming below grade level recalled for more intensive educational training, parent Blanche Piechi said. The idea stemmed from a "back-to-basics" move among some parents, who are seeking a new curriculum guide for schools in this county near Richmond. Mrs. Picci is part of a group of nine parents seeking the change.

The group plans to ask school officials to begin a recall tutoring program in January. Mrs. Picci said, "This isn't for slow learners. This is for kids who are behind because they haven't been taught certain things. We can't just brand these kids slow on something they've never learned." She estimated at least a third of the rural county's 2,400 pupils fall into an educational limbo.

Who goes into the recall program would be determined by a test of children in grades two through eight, the parents say. Mrs. Picci said, "There isn't a heck of a lot you can do (for older pupils)." The test, which the parents hope will be given in October, would ask simple questions to determine what material a child has or has not been taught. Pupils who know less than the new curriculum guide says they should at their grade levels would go to the tutoring sessions. The group says a household "emergency tax" could be levied to offset the cost of the program an estimated $50,000.

Mrs. Picci said teacher volunteers for the program should be paid well. "We need their cooperation to make this thing work." Powhatan school administrators say that the existing curriculum guide manual, now 7 years old, is seldom used. Because of that, children in the same grade but in different classrooms may not be covering the same ground, Mrs. Picchi said.

While county school officials haven't rejected the parents' idea, they have shown little enthusiasm for it. School Superintendent Maynard K. Bean declined Monday to comment about the specifics of the proposed recall program. "I don't want to say anything yet. I haven't talked to Mrs.

Picchi about it." Bean said he is skeptical about the parents' request. He said education professionals, not parents, should plan the school curriculum. $200 Wins Him A House Dennis Gerdovich, 30, a landscape archi- ford County, raffled by the St. Francis of tect living in a one-bedroom apartment, Assisi Catholic Chunh.

Robb said he expects Castas to "significantly upgrade the combat readiness of the Virginia National Guard." 13 Pregnant At Clinic NORFOLK (AP) Thirteen women are now pregnant as a result of in vitro fertilization at the "test-tube baby" clinic at the Kastern Virginia Medical School, the clinic reports. They are expected to join three other women who had babies after undergoing the in vitro fertilization process at the Norfolk clinic. Vern Jones, an EVMS spokesman, said there have been 21 pregnancies in all at the clinic, with five miscarriages. Two test-tube babies are expected this month, one in September, two in October, one in November and the rest in 1983, Jones said.

Jones said doctors are comfortable with the program so far, and are encouraged that the success rate of the test-tube fertilization is getting close to that found in nature. In all, four test-tube babies have been born in the United States, with the other one conceived at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. RALEIGH. N.C. (AP) Law-enforcement officials seized an airplane about 5 a.m.

Monday at Raleigh-Durham Airport. The plane had been chased into the sky hours earlier by deputies who raided a marijuana delivery at small airport The twin-engine Merlin III airplane was tracked on radar by airports in Charlotte, Greensboro and Raleigh as it flew the 150 miles west from Monroe to Raleigh. When it landed. Wake County deputies, state Bureau of Investigation agents and airport police arrested two men and charged them with trafficking marijuana. The two men are Thomas D.

Rita, 45, of Jackson. N.J., and Samuel E. Coffey. 39, of Howell, N.J. Officials seized 1,000 pounds of cut.

ready-to-sell marijuana at the airport near Monroe, Union County Sheriff Frank McGuirt said that about 1:30 a.m., deputies got a telephone tip about suspicious activity at the Monroe Airport on U.S. 74. The small municipal airport was not staffed at the time. When deputies arrived, they saw an aircraft parked beside a building and a van, McGuirt said. When deputies approached, the plane started its engines and headed down the runway.

McGuirt said a deputy in a car chased the plane down the runway, but the plane "got airborne just as it ran out of runway pavement." Deputy James Hamilton pursued a van from the airport onto Route 75 in Matthews, where a suspect jumped from the van. Officials said the airplane is owned by Pacifica a ship-building company with offices in New Jersey.

The American Civil Liberties Union and the Institute for Public Representation planned to file papers in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Monday night on behalf of the Community for Creative Nonviolence seeking the right to set up "Reaganville II" and "Congressional Village" this winter. The non-violence group wants to set up the tent communities to visibly demonstrate to President Reagan and Congress that "more people are poor because of Reaga-nomics," said Mitch Snyder, a group spokesman.

The group established a similar encampment of nine tents last winter against the wishes of the Park Service in Lafayette Square across from the White House after gaining permission from a judge.
