(AP)-National testing programs to determine such things as which high school students shall get into college and which shall win scholarships, were attacked bitterly here Sunday as dangerous and unfair to both the schools and the students.

Three major educational organizations, representing nearly of the country's top school officials, said the testing programs threaten to get completely out of hand. A report two years in the making said school systems should refuse participate in national test programs unless the tests "can be demonstrated to have value commensurate with the effort, money, time, and emotional strain involved." The report did not single out any of the testing agencies by name. The rep rt was sponsored by the American Association of School Administrators, holding its annual convention here, the National Association of School Principals and the Council of Chief State Sched Officers. Even gifted students will score well on a national test enly if they have studied what the test-maker thinks they should have Mrs. Haigler Of Cameron Dies; Funeral Tuesday CAMERON.
