Jones said in answer to a ques- i
tion from this newspaper. She
said she would have nothing fur
ther to say on the subject right
now.
Gail thus indicated she plans
to follow in her mother's foot
steps with an interracial mar
riage to the well-known ex-hus
band of heiress Gloria Vander
bilt. Miss Vanderbilt and Lumet
were divorced in August via the
Mexican route.
The interracial romance, iong
a subject of the gossip colum
nists, came to light in the front
pages of the daily newspapers
on August 25 when Lumet al
lcgedly took an overdose of
something and despite phone calls
from Gail, he failed to respond
and a rescue party was forced
to enter his apartment and
'rushed him to St. Vincent's Hos
pital, where he recovered after
a few hours, claiming he was
just a bit drunk.

prived and at ail levels, Plaut
said:
"For fifteen years NSSFNS
has demonstrated that the job
can be done with profit to the
individual and to the nation on
a pilot scale with a limited bud

get,
"There is a job which needs
to be done on a massive scale
with federal or large private
funds.”
If this were done Plaut said,
such a program would attack
the causes of the problem of
high school dropouts and the
young people, who are out of
school and out of work.

nise was injured, said:
"Yes, Mrs. Agnes Kiernan Is
.still a teacher at PS 168. I’veonly
(been superintendent here for two,
years, the case you’re speaking
of happened three years ago. It
I was not under my jurisdiction
It because, you see, I was not here.’
I He was asked to give his reac-
Ltion to teachers beating their pu
li pil*.
I "I really can’t have any reac-
| tion,” he said. “If it’s a matter of
| a teacher breaking a law, she
■.must go through a process stated
I. by the Boardof Education. Only
I the School Superintendent can
I dismiss « teacher. I, as an assist-
I ant superintendent, may submit
II recommendations for her dismis-
1* sal, but I have no say in the mat-
lter,”
