WASHINGTON (AP) - Coal

President Carter's call to im-

at ending the 72-day-old national
coal strike. J
Resumption of the talks
would be a mistake," E. B

Junior School Sought
By D’EVA LUTHRINGER
A;questionnaire to determine interest in a
fundamental junior school here will be sent to
parents of kindergarteners through seventh
graders on Feb. 27,
They will be distributed to children in those
grades to take home and should be returned to

the schools with the children the next day
These decisions were made by the school
board this week, when it approved the question-
naire developed by a committee of school per-
sonnel and citizens.
The questionnaire briefly states the
differences in the existing junior school
program and the one which would be* presented
in the fundamental school and asks parents to
note whether they are definitely interested in
the traditional (fundamental) school, whether
they are not interested in sending their children
to such a school, or whether they may be in-
terested if they had more information.
Paul Irwin, a member of the committee, said
he did not feel the side-by-side comparison of
the fwo programs in the survey sheet, which
was required by the board, accurately reflects
reconvene the talks immediately j the differences between the two programs,
at the White House. At the same
time, the president held out the
threat of still "stronger
measures” to end the walkout
that has cut the nation's coal out-
put by 50 percent,
Union President Arnold Miller
replied that he was ready to
meet “at any time."
There was no immediate reac-
tion from the White House, the
Labor Department or the UMW
to the BCOA statement.
“In our judgment, the presi-
dent should first summon the
failing members to the White
House - the UMWA inter-
national officers and the
bargaining council,” Leisenring
wrote.
‘We afe^as concerned as any
citizens about the welfare of .this
It would (ah* a book to really show the
differences, hr said
One of the major differences in the two
program, Irwin explained, would be more
emphasis on btwr subjects in the fundamental
school..'
One war of doing tins would be to replace

thrngi as geography and history
Students would tuve to meet minimum stan-
