wifi i Warren Declares U.S. Needs More Dissenters MADISON, Wis. (U.R)—Chief Justice Earl Warren has called for more and men who afraid to be called radical. Warren made the plea for independent minds yesterday as he spoke at the centennial celebration of the birthday of the late Robert M. LaFollette fiery founder of the Progressive movement.

Supt. Marcus Davis after a district-wide testing program.

A total of 1,394 pupils was tested, with all showing the anticipated growth of six months. Many scored higher, Davis said. Reading tests given youngsters in the first three grades showed that (1) first graders exhibited abilities as high as the 3.5 grade San Rafael Leads County In Retail Sales San Rafael led all cities in Marin by a substantial margin in taxable retail sales for the second quarter of last year, figures compiled by the Marin Development Foundation show. San 415 stores did an business for that period. Next in line was Mill Valley with $2,268.000 in taxable sales followed by San $1,767,000.

Among them, the three towns accounted for 68.7 per cent of taxable retail sales in the county. Auto dealers and auto supply merchants led the field in San Rafael. A total of 24 outlets did a business of $2,266,000. level, (2) many second graders scored as high as fifth grade and (3) some third graders scored as high as the 5.5 grade level. Briefly, these figures refer to the grades themselves.

For instance, the 3.5 grade level would denote halfway through the third grade. This means that first graders who attained this score can read as wrell as can be expected of children in the middle of their third school year. Achievement tests were given to all pupils in grades four through eight. In the fourth grades, Davis reported, all children showed an increase in ability of one year, and in some cases increases of a year and a half. In the fifth through eighth grades, the growth in some cases was as much as two and a half years.

Davis attributed the favorable results in the first four grades to the staggered program inaugurated last fall. In this program, reading groups are divided so that half the class came an hour earlier in the morning and the other half remained an hour later in the afternoon. Concentration on teaching through phonics was also a contributing factor, Davis said. The Hay-Wingo method, With has been in use in the Sausalito district since last September. The program is expected to continue during the coming school year.

Sausalito To Test New Air Raid Siren A powerful new air raid siren will get its final test in Sausalito a week from tomorrow as the Southern Marin city seeks to find a to its rugged hillside terrain. The $650 siren arrived during the weekend from Federal Enterprises, in Chicago. According to Fire Chief Matts Perry, the 10-horsepower, five-hhrn rig will be set up on a utility pole in the downtown area. Exact time for the test will be announced later. City Council author- I ized Perry to conduct the test to determine if the siren could be heard clearly in those areas of town not reached by the siren at1 the firehouse.

The present siren will be heard in most of the southern portion of the city. Should the test prove successful, Perry will probably ask the council for permission to purchase the siren. Belvedere has been asked to share in the cost since some of the horns face the island and can be heard there. The Chief Justice called LaFollette a dissenter in the finest sense of the and said America still has need for such dissent. is as important now as it was then; we must test all of our public actions by he said.

majority does not always discover the right answer until it is so Warren led the tribute to LaFollette, the controversial senator from Wisconsin who won nearly five million votes when he ran for the presidency on a third ticket in 1924. About 50 of old followers in the Progressive movement, together with his son, former Wisconsin Gov. Phil LeFol- lette, joined Warren in a pilgrimage to birthplace at nearby ITimrose, Wis. LaFollette, Warren said later, not dissent through mere ob- stinancy. He dissented in righteous indignation when he thought the objectives of our government were being Tire Wisconsin statesman was called a the Chief Justice said, for advocating direct election of U.

S. Senators, tariff revision, control of monopolies and trusts, primaries, and laws to protect labor and civil liberties. The program has long since been accepted, Warren said, but are those who still believe it is radical and long for the so- called old are still those who would still call it socialism; those who refuse to make a distinction between socialism and social progress; those who Lincoln described as unable to distinguish a horse chestnut from a chestnut Warren said.
