Here, regular curriculum classes. All and they have been adequately provided for in the structure. In order that Daily News readers may get a clearer picture of the plans for the new school, Mr.

Cameron has provided the following details. Three Sections Planned Generally speaking, the Captain Jack High School will be divided into three sections: Activities 4 group, classrooms area and workshops. The structure will cover two acres of a large plot owned by the school district in North Mount Union. The school will be directly south of the present athletic field, it will front on Shaver Street and extend from Sherman to Pine Streets. The floor level of the building will be two feet above the 1936 flood level in the Mount Union area.

The activities group at the school will include the gymnasium, auditorium, cafeteria, library, music suite, health room and principal's office. The gymnasium will be 94 by 95 feet in size. There will be bleacher seats for 1,500 people. AJI abundance of storage space has been provided and the boys' and girls' locker rooms are "the last word' 1 in modern design. Rooms and offices about the gym have been placed to meet every need of the coaches and athletes.

Locker rooms will be adequate and a laundry, where muddy uniforms may be washed and dried, is included in the plans. Offices for coaches and physical education director are strategically placed and officials will have their own office, reached only by door from the main corridor. The training room will be fully equipped and storage space will be available at various points around the gym. Auditorium To Seat 775 The auditorium has been designed to seat 775 persons, it will have a stage 23 by 61 feet and it will be completely equipped with floodlights, curtains, projection booth and switchboard. Seats will be upholstered and of the latest style.

The library will be 24 by 67 feet and it will seat between 70 and 75 pupils. A circular charging out desk will add the modernistic touch to this facility. A conference room, for the use of the librarian 01- students with special alignments, will be provided. Cafeteria Is Show Place Supervising Principal Cameron refers to the cafeteria as the "show place" of the school cafeteria will be able to handle approximately 300 students. front of the room so and everywhere else in the building, adequate storage space has been provided by the designer.

Music Suite. Outlined The music puite, located iii the northwest corner of the structure, includes the music room, a room for choral and dramatics work and a classroom. Students may travel from the music room to the stage of the auditorium without going up steps; both will be on the same level. The storage room for the music suite been de- signe-3 carefully so that there Is cabinet space for every instrument in a 320-piece orchestra. After the make-up of the musical organization was determined, the room was designed.

There will not be just cabinet space, but a compartment designed for every instrument. The rear wall of the large auditorium will be curved and it will lead into a spacious lobby running from the main entrance off Shaver Street. There will be no windows in the auditorium. The curved walls have enabled the designer to use space for ticket offices, display cases and storage rooms. Acoustic tile ceilings will be used throughout the structure and the music rooms will be nearly soundproof.

The main entrance to the gymnasium will be from the 300-car, blacktop-covered parking lot which will be to the east of the activities group. The lot will also serve the classrooms wing and it will be possible for school busses to load and unload students under a canopy at the parking lot entrance to the new school. No Basement, Two Boilers There will be no basement to the school which will be 480 feet long and 460 feet wide. Two coal- fired boilers will provide heat for the school and each room will have its own fan and vent so that individual temperature control will be possible. The boilers will be fed from a bin stoker.

In order to conserve a little space, the girls locker room was placed over the boys locker room. This necessitated the only flight of stairs in the school and it is" the only where there is a second level in the structure. place floor All floors, including the 15-foot corridors, will have asphalt tile. Lighting will be concentric in style and-incandescent bulbs will be used. Only in one shoo will fluorescent lighting be used!

All outside walls will have giant clear glass windows and green glass "blackboards." Hotuemnkiug Department Suite The homemaking' department Is complete in every detail, it is arranged as a suite which includes a kitchen, bedroom, living room and sewing room. Actually the kitchen is a three-unit affair, complete with electric ranges, automatic washers, ironers, driers, deep freeze, sanitary garbage disposal units, cabinets and the latest in homemaking equipment.

The commercial department will have one room reserved entirely for business machines. There will be an iron grille between the activities group and the classroom section. When the auditorium or gymnasium is being- used at night, the grille will be closed and it will be impossible for persons to enter that section of the building not in use. Shops Section Explained The shops section is east of the gymnasium and it consists of a woodworking, machine and vocational agriculture shops. In designing- this section, the architects took into account the machinery and then laid out the building.

As a result of this prior planning there will be no crowding of equipment and there will be sufficient working space for the students. In addition to the main shops there will be a planning center where drawings may be made for the machine and woodworking shops and there will also be a vo-ag- classroom. The school is designed to accommodate 650 pupils. However, it is planned so that two more shops and additional classrooms may be added to the original structure. Modernistic Touch Added The modernistic touch to the school is apparent at first sight.

A large patio or terrace extends across the front of the building on the Shaver Street side. It will be raised and it will have a small stone wall. There will be a flag-stone floor. This patio promises to be a popular meeting place for the students and it will be large enough for open air band concerts. Mr.

Cameron pointed out that there will be no spouting or gutters on the building. The roof will slant to the center and water will be drained away through pipes inside the building. Tempered glass will be used in the gymnasium, it is strong enough to withstand a heavy blow and PAG! THREE.

Percy Priest predicted today that wage controls will be the next target of a stampeding House that already las killed price and credit con- sols and shattered the Wage Stabilization Board. The badly-mauled controls bill will come up for an additional round of voting in the House next Wednesday.

Wage Controls, Priest told a reporter, will go into discard with )rice of course, House reinstates what it threw out this week. "If the House keeps wage controls in the bill," the Tennesseean said, "I don't think it will vote to kill price controls on the final roll call vote." The administration, still sting- ng from defeats by the House, must focus hopes of saving some control of the Senate-House conference committee that will compromise the versions passed by both. Other developments: Soldier Vote: A states' rights fight In the House was threatened by a bill to insure voting privileges for members of the armed services. The legislation faces a rocky road in a House administra-' tion subcommittee headed by Rep. Omar Burleson who opposes a provision exempting servicemen from state poll taxes.

The Senate has approved similar legislation allowing use of a. federal absentee ballot by servicemen from states where absentee voting procedures are inadequate. McCarthy: Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) criticized the Senate Elections Subcommittee for spending $900 to photostat correspondence between the Wisconsin Republican and his Appleton, broker.

McCarthy wrote Chairman Guy M. Gillette (D- Ia.) that the "sole purpose" of the photostating "was to give it the documents to the left-wing opposition press with the hope that its publication during a campaign year might prove embarrassing." "UiMT: The National Security Training Commission, which drafted the Universal Military Training Program and is charged with continuing work on it, appealed to the Senate for funds to stay in business.

LATTIMORE BARRED FROM LEAVING U.S. Washington, June 21, The State Department has barred Owen Lattimore from leaving the country until it nails down a report that he had planned a trip to Russia.

The department said late yesterday it took the "unusual" step as a "precaution" against the possibility of Lattimore deliberately violating: the strict ban against travel behind the Iron Curtain. It said the action was based on "official allegation" that the controversial Far Eastern expert was making arrangements to visit Russia even though he did not have a passport. Lattimore said last night at his home in Baltimore: "I suggest that the State Department should investigate the evidence, whereupon they will find out there isn't any evidence since I have no plans to go to Russia or any other country now or in the foreseeable future. I haven't booked passage anywhere." Lattimore, a Johns Hopkins University professor, has been under heavy Congressional fire for his connections with the much- criticized Institute of Pacific Relations.
