County School Head

Before the standards Of Mont

be raised, residents must learn that
teachers are human beings who re-
quire food, shelter and clothing, DR..
Edwin w. Broome. county superin-
tendent of schools, told an education
forum of the County League of
Women Voters yesterday in the Be-
thesda Women's Club.
Forty county teachers at the
present time are without homes" he
said. Residents complain about
the type of education their children
get, but are too selfish to open their
homes so teachers will have a place
to live
Five teachers lost their homes last
week, he said. because the apart
ments In which they had temporary
quarters don't allow renters with
children.
A panel of four speakers including
DR.. Broome. F. K. Metzger, presi-
dent OF the Board of Education;
Mrs. Richard Saunders of the
league and Irwin Wensink Of the

committee on School Survey de-
scribed the objectives of the county
school system and alayzed the means
by which these objectives might be
obtained.
The County Board OF Education
has no fund-raising powers, Mr..
Metzger said. 1t can only draw a
plan for school development and ask
the county commissioners for money
with which to carry out this plan.
The Board of Education is usually
about five years ahead of the public
demands for school improvement,
Mr.. Metzger said. He added the
board should be given fund-raising
powers to enable it to carry out its
own program.
Mr.. Wensink pointed out several

current expenditure per pupil is the
most significant single factor in the
effectiveness of education. Mary

Majority in Congress
Opposes Giving Soviet
Secret Of Atom Bomb

A preponderant majority of Con-

to any nation not already possessing
it. Congressional opinion SO far
surveyed is unanimous against
divulging the secret to Russia at
this time: but some, including for
mer Admiral Thomas c. Hart, now
Republican Senator from Connecti-

secret or use of the bomb by an in

to the United Nations Organization.

From the date of transfer contri-

affects many employees, new to the

The answer Is that employees hold

vlously were not so employed by the
Government are given service credit
for such periods and may purchase
additional credit to cover this Pc
riod by depositing at once or by in
stallment the contributions which

exceptions are persons who were not

firm for the execution of certain
work for the Government, or in sim

For example, a scientist employed
directly under contract by the Ma
val Research Laboratory for two
years who is now a civil service en-
ploye of the Navy will. in addition
to other service. have the two-yeaI
contract work credited for computa-
tion purposes. However, If he had
