10 Hire
50 More Teachers
Despite Budget Cut

Despite a slash Of $611.567 in its
request for funds this year, the
Montgomery County Board OF
Education will be able to hire Sc
additional teachers and to continue
all school services.
This was revealed yesterday by
DR.. Edwin w. Broome, superin-
tendent of schools, and County
Supervisor Irving G. McNayr after
the county commissioners approved
a breakdown of the $2,818,4 ,402 ap-
propriated for education.
The School Board, which had
requested $3,429.969, claimed last
month that the cut would prevent
the hiring of any additional teachers
and would result in the elimination
of kindergartens, music, art and
physical education classes in elemen-
tary schools and the driver training
program in high schools.
At the same time, the county heads
appointed Commissioners Wesley l
Sauter and Oliver w. Youngblood
to represent them at series OF
harmony" meetings with two men,
bers of the Board of Education in
a move to provide better relations
between the two groups.
Two Named Tentatively.
Mr.. McNayr said James w. Gill
and Mrs. Curtis Walker had been
named tentatively as representatives
of the School Board. The move was
recommended by Mr.. McNayr. who
said it is high time We quit saying
things without having complete
understanding of what we are talk
ing about, and that goes for both
groups
Mr.. Sauter, who has attacked cer-
tain phases of the school program
as being ''flilly and socialistic,' saio
discussions at the meetings will CEN
ter not only on the use of schoo
funds but also on any changes in
the school curriculum which may
seem desirable.
He added there would be a
thorough airing of charges made
recently by Franklin T. Miles, Chevy
Chase. attorney, that communistit
propaganda is contained in some Of
the books in the county's schoo
system. This has been denied by
school officials.
Il have no thought of breaking
down our school system" Mr.. Sautel
emphasized. Il want to improve
It. but I believe the people are en-
titled to know whether there is any
truth in these charges"
Breakdown In Funds.
The breakdown in school funds
which will be forwarded to the
Board of Education. showed the fol-
lowing appropriations:
Instructional service, $2,007 ,435;
operation, s365,00O: transportation

By the Assoeiotsd Press

RICHMOND, July MARTIN A.
Hutchinson,% leader OF the anti
organization wing of the Virginia
Democratic Party. has sent word to
James Roosevelt to shun any pollt-
ical alliance that might put him in

Mr.. Hutchinson telegraphed Mr..
Roosevelt yesterday after Gov. Tuck
announced he planned to attend the
anti-Truman caucus in Philadelphia
Saturday prior to next weeks ma

said he would carry out his plans
despite Gen. Eisenhower's disavowal
of efforts to nominate him over

I'VE beg YOU the telegram con-

any sort with the enemies of your

/ there were these other reactions to
Gen. Eisenhower's statement to
show the States Democrats had not
given up the general:

leaders were represented as being
prepared to keep on working fo1
Gen Eisenhower in the belief he
would not turn down the nomination
