The action ordered Tuesday cme one day after a chemistry teacher at Franklin K. Lane High School was beaten and bis clothing set afire in the most recent of a series of attacks. In a related development the High School principals Association of New York City said in a report that the increasing num--ber of student disorders threatened the very educational proc ess in the high schools.

The principals charged the Board of Education "has virtually abdicated its responsibilities for the safe and orderly' conduct" of the schools and urged officials to "act firmly, quickly and courageously." 1,832 RESIGN The Council of Supervisory Associations said threats and harassment contributed to the resignations of 1,832 teachers and supervisors in the city last year five times the normal number. In the closing of Lane nigh school, officials said the aim would be to enrollment to 4,300 so all students could attend school during a single, session by Feb. 3. This would enable the faculty to exercise better supervision, it was said. The school, located in a predominantly white neighborhood, was designed to serve 4,000 pupils but has a current enrollment of 5,200, Of these 65 per cent are Negro or Puerto, Rican.

At present the school conducts multiple sessions with students arriving and leaving in waves. Morton Selub, the principal, said the difficulty stems "not from the, kids we have but because of the number." At a meeting of about 200 parents, Selub said "other schools are as crowded or even more" but that the difference at Lane was "a dramatic and lasting change in ethnic ratio in a very short period, five or six years." MAYOR PRAISED Mayor John V. Lindsay said in a statement that overcrowd-'ng was "at the core of the trouble" and promised Lane would et more male aides to preserve order, "special programs for destructive pupils'' and more youth workers. Albert Shanker, president of the United Federation of Teachers and a frequent foe of the mayor's, praised Lindsay's handling of the problem saying "he used his good offices to avoid an explosive situation." Selub, in announcing the three-day closing, said "this term at Lane and other schools was a disaster." He explained that the three teachers' strikes and the flu epidemic had marred the" scholastic atmosphere and tied down teachers and administrators with a backlog of paperwork.

2.78 3 Days "People are going out to have fun, but not at astronomical prices." The kiss of death fell on the Act IV, located near the General Motors Corp. building, a year ago when high schoolers began taking prom dates there. The management was glad at first, because there would be one less empty table, but high schoolers didn't order escargot or other expensive dinners. So, lower priced meals were provided, bringing in less money. Lawrence H.

LoPatin, one of the new owners of the $300,000 restaurant-nightclub, said future entertainment policy has not been determined. It will have an auto racing decor in keeping with the interests of LoPatin, who is president of the Michigan International Speedway, the big, new, professional auto race track in Michigan's Irish Hills. DETROIT (AP)-The Act IV, a Broadway-type showplace, Tuesday became the, second Detroit nightclub offering big name talent to close its doors in four days, but both promised to reopen soon under new concepts. The name "Act IV" will fade offstage during a six-week re-decoration period and will be reopen as "The Steering Wheel." Its owners say it will The, Roostertail, overlooking the Detroit River, closed Saturday night, as its management says it will reopen in a couple of weeks as a "fun palace." "It's a bore to go to a nightclub nowadays," said Jerry Lee Schoenitii, vice president of the Roostertail. "You have to be there at 7.30 or 8 o'clock.

You order dinner. At exactly nine comes the sound of the rolling of drums. And for one hour you got a performer on stage. After an hour, you leave," Schoenith said. "I don't believe that is an evening people want nowadays," he said.
