One more step was scheduled to be taken today toward

school.
The move—a direct outcome of conversations between
school board member and county attorney William J.
Ehlert and Mayor Reese B. Lockett as well as a consen-
sus expressed at Wednesday night’s regularly scheduled
monthly school board meeting—took shape in Ehlert’s

Extra Meetings
The 24th plenary session held
this morning was to have been
the last before beginning the
Easter recess, but Zorin forced
a session of an Anglo-American-
Soviet subcommittee this after-
noon. He warned that another
plenary meeting tonight or Fri-
day morning would be necessary.
East and West exchanged bitter
remarks in dealing with a neutral
proposal it had been hoped would
bring the great nuclear powers
closer together.
Russia Interpreted the neutral
proposals of last Monday to be
acceptance of Soviet contentions
that existing national networks of
observation posts are sufficient
to monitor a test ban, that ah
international commission of a
few scientists could analyze the
information and that there be on-
site inspections of suspicious
events only if such an inspection
was invited by the state in which
the event took place.
Allied Viewpoint
U. S Ambassador Arthur H.
Dean and British Minister of
State Joseph Godber Mid the
neutral proposal was unclear. but
they Interpreted it to mean the
neutrals accept the principal that
o test ban must be built on the
foundation of a global interna-
tit nal control system and on-
•Ite inspections by tn interna-
tinal commission.
If Russia accepts that too. the
western delegates Mid. the West
also would be willing to accept
the neutral paper as a basis for
further negotiation.
