WHEN YOU LOOK INSIDE EDITORIALS, FEATURES Page 2 Tests Blasted 'State Control' Hints Educator County Superintendent Says Proposal Not Needed, Costly Severe opposition to a recently proposed plan calling for literacy tests for all California teachers was voiced today by Orange County Superintendent of Schools Frank Grunenfelder. The superintendent charged that the proposal smacked of "state control." The plan was put forward at a recent meeting of the State Board of Education. Grunenfelder said that in the large majority of cases such tests were not required and would only be an added expense. He said the weeding out of in- on the problem.

The plan was put forward at a recent meeting of the State Board of Education. Grunenfelder said that in the large majority of cases such tests were not required and would only be an added expense. He said the weeding out of inadequate teachers could be accomplished at the local level. Majority Opinion A large majority of educators in the county shared his views, Grunenfelder said. Harold Kibby, superintendent of the Orange Unified School District, said the issue required further study before he would make a comment. The literacy test proposal was put forward at a meeting of the state board on Sept. 10. Max Rafferty, state superintendent of public instruction was instructed to poll education officials throughout the state for their opinion on the proposal. Although Rafferty has not yet contacted the Orange County superintendent, Grunenfelder said he was fully familiar with the test proposal. Renewed Interest The test plan, submitted in tentative form to the state board by Rafferty several months ago, received new interest at the Sept. 10 meeting when board president Thomas Braden read a teacher's letter to him which contained what he described as "atrocious spelling and grammar." Methodist Bishop Gerald Kennedy, trustee from Los Angeles, cautioned Braden and Rafferty against a "premature decision" on the problem. It was suggested that the response of county superintendents and teacher's colleges be polled as a guide for board action. In describing the problem of teacher "literacy" as minor, Grunenfelder said that inadequacies usually would show up in job applications. "A few will get past screening but only for a short time," he added. Different Approaches Grunenfelder said that some large school districts give applicants both a written test and personal interview but that most districts accept the state teaching credential as complete evidence of proper preparation. Father, Son Remain Serious An Orange father and son today remained tinn serious condition at separate hospitals more than a week after their car collided with a freight train in the Plaza City. James Unopulos, 44, is reported improving at St. Joseph Hospital while his son Steven Joel, six, is in the Intensive Care Unit at Orange County Hospital. The pair, who reside at 1148 E. Chestnut St., were injured when their foreign-made car was struck by a freight train Sept. 12 at the Glassell Street Santa Fe crossing, north of Taft Avenue. They were both trapped in the wreckage and carried 1,118 feet by the switch engine after the impact. Catholic Group Fights Prop. 14 Members of the Catholic Hu- this month, said the activity Catholic Group Fights Prop. 14 Members of the Catholic Human Relations Council of Orange County (CHRC) have launched a campaign urging support of the Rumford Housing Act and defeat of Proposition 14. The opening gun of the campaign was sounded yesterday when members of the group appeared before several Catholic churches throughout the county and handed out literature to church goers. Still up in the air was the question of whether the group had the backing of the clergy. The pamphlets asked defeat of the November ballot initiative. Spokesmen for the civil rights group, organized earlier this month, said the activity heralded the beginning of a similar campaign before the November general election in all of the county's 35 Catholic parishes. Spokesman said Orange County pastors had been informed of the campaign but permission to wage it has not been sought from either arch diocese officials nor the pastors. Bishop Timothy Manning, auxiliary bishop for the Los Angeles diocese, said the group is not a "recognized" church affiliated group and pointed out that the political activity is taking place on the sidewalks in front of churches rather than on Pair Appointed to Serve District Four Committee Stockbroker Paul Kroesen and retired insuranceman Karl Glasbrenner have been appointed to represent Supervisorial District 4 in a long range study of county facilities that can be located outside Santa Ana.
