Ferenc Macy, former Hungarian
Premier, sees the Czech crisis as
only the start of new Communist
moves in Europe. He thinks the
western nations can now expect a
series of Moscow-inspired threats
against the governments of Austria,
France and italy.
Mr.. Macy fed his country last May
after a Communist coup similar to
the one In Czechoslovakia. He and
his family now are living in nearby
Herndon, Va, where they recently
bought home and a 130-acre dairy
farm. s:.-... .
"The fate of Czechoslovakia shows
how indefensible the other nations
were whose governments were un-
seated by Moscow" Mr.. Macy said
today. "Czechosloyakia was the
only middle European nation not
occupied by Russian troops, and yet
nothing could save her.
Sees Red Claims Disprovod.
Mr.. Macy also said the events in
Czechoslovakia should, once and for
all, prove the falsity Of Russia's
claim that she wants friendly ma
tions" on her borders, but has no
desire to dominate them.
"Czechoslovakia was the first ma
ton in Central Europe to seek
friendly relations with the Kremlin,' >
Mr.. Macy said. TN 194l President
Benes signed a secret friendship pact
with the Soviets. 2 -. ~
/ "Benes can do nothing II he stays
in Czechoslovakia but serve the
Soviets. The Russians plan to com.
munize Czechoslovakia In order. tx
further penetrate Western Europe. (
"It may be that they will use Their
threats against Austria, Italy and
France as a blackmail weapon to
force the western world to recognize
their right to dominate Central
Europe. Or they may attempt this
summer to overthrow the govern
ments of those three nations"
A typieally, peasant existence is
the way Mr.. Macy describes the life
he and his family are living this
winter. r..
Peasant life," he explained
through his English-speaking son,

Montgomery toRevise
Proposed Ordinance
For Private Schools

The Montgomery County commits
sioners today were planning to re-
wise their proposed private school
ordinance as a result of strong op-
position to several of its provisions
by representatives of about 20 Of
the approximately so private educa-
tional institutions in the county.
A public hearing on the proposed
ordinances was held yesterday in
the Rockville Courthouse, during
which the commissioners said they
would eliminate a provision for 81
annual fee for each paying pupil at
tending a private school.
At the opening of the hearing,
Thomas G. Kelley, assistant counsel
to the commissioners, told the ap-
proximately 10 persons present that
the existing county school ordinance
is wholly Inadequate" .....
Safety Is Factor.
He emphasized that the board
"does not intend to tax schools as
such but merely to, assure their
safe operation and to set up fees
designed to cover the cost of admin
istration."
The 10 school representatives who
spoke were united in their opposition
to the proposed 81 per pupil charge
while an attorney representing Arch
bishop Patrick o'Boyle Of Washing
ton asked that the four parochial
schools for which he spoke be. sex-
Eempted from the proposed $25 an
nuaI license fee.
The attorney, Frederick Stohlman,
referred to st. Michaers School and
St. Bernadette's School, both In
Silver Spring: Our Lady of Lourdes
School, Bethesda and St. Martins
School, Gaithersburg.
Both Mr.. Stohlman and Joseph
A. Cantrel, representing the George
town Preparatory School and the
Bulls and Landon Schools, con-
tended that the fire and health in
speetien provisions in the ordinance
are unnecessary since the State al
ready has stich powers.
Although a law passed in April,
1915, exempts nonprofit educational
frem payment Of a IL
cense, fee, Mr.. Cantrel said, the
three schools would not oppose the
$25 license fee.
r. Duncan Clark, attorney for the
Chevy Chase Junior College, opposed
a provision calling for issuance of
licenses in September. He suggested
that licenses be issued on or before
August l.
