back of every recommendation He
stressed the fact that boys and girls
of this county were entitled to as
good an educational program as those
in any other county of the state and
that the proposed program would
put this county on par with any
other county. what kind of a pro-
gram carried on inside the buildings
is more important than the buildings
themselves" he declared. He said he
felt that the citizens had in this re
port constructive program for fu-
ture progress and that the report
was presented with the expectation
that the interests and needs of boy s
and girls would be the sole guiding
influence as decisions to go forward
are made.
In the report a detailed study Of
each individual school was made and
the standards for planning outlined.
Further details of the report will be
published from time to time.

Bear Hill would remain temporary
units, while there was a possibility
in the plan that Bloomington would
remain a permanent elementary unit.
The first move i'm the long range
plan, according to Mr.. HARDEST,
would benefit 61.2 percent of the A.
497 boys and girk now attending
schools.
The entire program was advanced,
DR.. Engelhardt said, with full recog-
milton of the financial conditions of
the county, and said any extensive
variations from the proposal would
result in unwise expenditures as far
as the long time welfare of the coun-
ty was concerned.
Financing the Program
The survey staff estimated from So
million to 312 million would be needed
for satisfactory school plants in the
county, with the first step in con-
struction of two new high schools
costing about $212 million.
Already about 100000 has been
set aside as capital outlay from direct
county levies. The Legislature
authorized the borrowing of 81 $780,
600, and at the 1947 session of the
Legislature an act was passed to
establish school building incentive
fund, specifying that if a county
levied 5 cents for school building
purposes the state would match to
equal $40 per pupil. In the case
of this county the combined county
state amount is approximately S47,-
900 per year, with the county provid-
ing about $11 900 and the State about
$4,000. DR.. J. J. Seidel, of the State
Department of Education, who out
lined the financing, said he looked
upon it as investment, not an eX-
pense. He said that there was much
favorable talk at the last special SEES
sion of the legislature on doubling
the school incentive fund and if such
policy was adopted the state would
take care Of the difference between
$50 per pupil and the levy of coun-
ty tax rate of 10 cents on the county
asscssablc basis.
He estimated the state would pro-
vide $7,400,OO0 over 26-year period
or about So for every 81 provided by
the county.
If the incentive funds for building
were doubled the average amount
over and above the state-county in
centive fund which would be required
of the county would be approximately
100000 or an average additional tax
rate of 80 cents over the ten cents
now provided for capital outlay.
The report recommended that
neither of the two major projects,
that of the two new high schools
should be undertaken unless the
other is planned at the same time.
Mr.. Hardesty, prior to introducing
DR.. Engelhardt, stated that the pur-
pose of the survey was to provide a
countrywide system of schools, and
that there was an educational reason

By John v. Horner

The Progressive Party of Mont
gomery County decided last night
that its most pressing task in fur
thering the Henry A. Wallace polit-
ical philosophy is to bang on doors
in Baltimore in behalf of party
candidate for Congress.
Accordingly, the 81 persons who
attended a widely publicized meet
ing at the Silver Spring County
Building authorized pilgrimage to
Maryland's Sd Congressional Dis
trict. There they propose to join a
house to-house solicitation tomor-
row afternoon for signatures to the
petition urging Philip C. Kulinski
for the House.
Mrs. Alice Lumer. Montgomery
chairman, explained that fewer than
300 voters have signed Mr.. Kulinski's
petition and that, in order to get his
name on the Maryland ballot, at
least 1900 signatures must be OBJ
tanned by April Is.
600 Signatures Returned.
Party officials reported that "be-
tween 110 and 100" signatures to
the presidential petition of Mr.. WAL
lace had been obtained in Mont
gomery and that 5000 had been OBJ
tanned throughout Maryland. They
said, however. that of the first 1000
checked, 600 had to be returned"
for corrections or fuller information.
The law requires 1000 signatures of
bona f1de voters.
Members decided to solicit addi-
tional signatures for Mr.. Wallace at
a Silver Spring shopping area booth.
After completing this project and
the Kulinski campaign work. they
agreed to. concentrate on plans for
a Progressive rally at Cabin John
on April 26, and a larger rally later,
possibly in Silver Spring, with a
nationally prominent speaker.
To Oppose UNIT.
Despite conflicting reasons for
their stand, party members voted
to inform members of Congress of
their opposition to universal mill
tary training.
In the words of George Ya1ski of
Takoma Park, who described him.

The House Rules Committee, on
Monday morning, will consider the
request Of Chairman Dondero of the
House Public Works Committee for
a special rule to speed House action
on the bill to authorize early con-
struction Of the proposed new Fed
eral courthouse here.
If the Rules Committee grants a

next week.
The Public Works Committee re-
Gently reported out the courthouse
bill with a strong recommendation
for immediate approval by the
House. The report branded con-
ditions at District Court "deporable. /"
The measure would authorize con-
struction of q building to cost not
more than $1S,665 900, with the cost
to be split eventually half and half
between the Federal and the District
Governments.
The building would be erected on

Just In time for Christmas.
One of the drawings made with
the new crayons is a study of a
crayon box, a writing pad and a
long. new pencil with an eraser.
Such things, commonplace to Amer
lean school children, are almost un-
obtainable in Japan. The Hiroshima
school children responded in glow
ing phrases.
THE gifts sent us from the other
day were the great pleasure and
gratitude for our war-damaged
school," wrote a sixth-grade girl.
When we were given the articles
felt my heart was beating.
There was no glass in the windows
of our school last year -. and we
were studying trembling in the cold
wind, but the school has completely
changed. It will become cold from
now on in Japan, but I will worry
about that no more"
Many of the letters express a de-
sire to become friends with Ameri-
cans, wish stated allegorically in
the baseball players and doves of
peace in many of the drawings.
Several of the Washington chill
dren already have composed answer
ing letters. Soon, church officials
hope, all will be answered. They
are also planning to provide new
recreational equipment for the post
war school Hiroshima now Is
building.
All this may help, they hope, to
displace the relationship of victor
