This would be an expensive
route to develop: however, any
new route through the central
area of Arlington would be ex-
pensive." he said.
Toll Plan Suggested.
Mr.. Stoneburner touched on
but did not develop the question
of how important it is for the
w. & o D. railroad to continue
service on the roadbed. A pos
sible solution, he suggests, is for
the railroad to continue opera
tions in the median strip that
would separate the two automo-
bile traffic lanes.
Future planning with State
and Fairfax County would have
to determine the route outside
Of Arlington but the engineer
said it should tie in with Colum-
bia pike and extend near
Baileys Crossroads.
I'm connection with the toll
facilities" Mr.. Stoneburner re-
ported. II made the suggestion
that consideration be given to
the idea of a monthly or yearly
pass that could be sold to regular
users. This would make it far
more convenient for users and
would greatly reduce the conges-
ton at collection points as the
display of proper identification
on the vehicle would eliminate
the need for stops"
The plan will be considered by
a committee now surveying

lative Council The council is to

Dornestics Due
For Security Pay

'Many older household workers
are now eligible for monthly old
age benefit payments under social
security" Wayne w. Putnam, man
ager of the Toledo social security
office stated today.
Mr.. Putnam described these peo-
pie as regular domestic workers
now IS or over, who have been
employed in one private household
on an average Of at least two days
a week during the past two years
If, due to health or other rea-
sons, they are forced to give up
regular employment, they can now
file claim for social securiy in
surance and get monthly old-age
benefit payments based on their
earnings for the past two years.
These earnings must have been at
least $50 cash in each calendar
quarter of their period lpf employ
ment in one household.
Many other regular household
workers, not yet IS, have built
survivors insurance protection dur
ing the same time. Mr.. Putnam
says that their dependent families
are eligible for monthly benefit
payments in case of the death of
the insured worker.
Both old-age and survivors in
surance benefits are based on the
workers earnings. "This is why
it is so important to the domestic
worker to have her employer re-
port all of her cash wages for So
cial security purposes" Mr.. Put
nam declares. He says that the
regular household employee can
cooperate with her employer by
showing her social security card.
The employer copies this number
on the reports she sends in on the
workers cash wages.
IF all of the workers cash
wages are reported to the workers
correct social security number, she
will get the largest old-age bene-
fit payments to which she is en-
titled when she gives up regular
work at age IS or later" Mr.. Put
nam declares. Also, the correct
reporting of all cash wages to the
right social security account will
mean payment of the largest poss-
ible benefit amounts to the work
er's family in case of her death,
Mr.. Putnam added.

81 New Textbooks
Approved for Use in
Montgomery Schools

The Montgomery County Board
of Education yesterday approved
81 new textbooks, including one
which School Supt. Forbes H.
Norris defended against a sug-
gestion that it promoted social
ism.
The book at issue was "Ameri-
can Government" by the late
DR.. Frank Abbott Magruder.
Board Member Wylie w. Bar
row read a newspaper clipping
dated December 13, 1852, report
ing the action of the Indiana
Textbook Committee in refusing
to accept the Magruder text be-
cause committee members felt it
was sympathetic to socialism. "
Mr.. Barrow wanted to know
whether the Magruder book and
the others on the list had been
reviewed with an "alertness for
un-Americanisms."
DR.. Norris then came to the
defense of DR.. Magruder, re-
ferring to him as lone of the
best writer's in Government I
know"
I'm sorry my home State (of
Tndiana) did such a fool thing" "
the superintendent added.
Pyle Offers Assurance.
Assistant School Supt. Thomas
w. Pyle assured Mr.. Barrow the
81 books "have nothing in them
that would hinder the desirable
growth of our school children. p"
Yesterday was the first time
IN five years that the Montgom-
cry Board of Education approved
g. list of textbooks as required
in Maryland law.
Mr.. Pyle said there has been
no need for the board to ap-
prove such a list in that time.
Asked if that meant the county
had purchased no new textbook
titles in five years, Mr.. Pyle said
the only new titles bought were
those obtained for what he called
experimental purposes.
He explained that principals
and supervisors are allowed to
order up to 10 copies of books
not on the approved list in order
to try them out.
100 Teachers Review Books.
Mr.. Pyle presented the list to
the board along with a lengthy
explanation Of how almost 100
teachers are engaged in the
tremendous and continuing job
of reviewing new textbooks"
Board Member William F.
Bulls said he didn't believe the
board should question the books
on the list unless there's some
thing controversial"
The selection of textbooks is
an administrative matter, he
said, and we've got to have
faith in our administrators"
The board finally approved
the list by voice vote without
audible dissent.
