School Board Chief
Says Arlington Has IS
Supervisors, Not 119

The Arlington school system
employs only IS supervisors in
stead of 119 as reported in the
Interim Budget Committee
recommendations to the county
board, Barnard Joy, school board
chairman, said yesterday.
Some statements in the in
terim body's report are so mis-
leading that I believe the school
board owes it to the citizens of
Arlington to make some explana-
tion," Mr.. Joy said.
Calls 46 Helping Teachers.
He said the committee includ-
ed among its lists of supervisors
46 helping teachers who do no
supervisory work at all, but give
classroom instruction in music,
arts, physical education, speech
and lip-reading, Mr.. Joy said.
These are subjects which the
regular classroom teachers are
not qualified to teach, he added.
The committee also included
~ principals and assistant prin-
cipals in its list of supervisors,
Mr.. Joy said. Although these
officials have some supervisory
duties, they are not considered
in the same category as the Is
persons employed as supervisors.
Mr.. Joy said the schools also
employ four visiting teachers
who are called supervisors under
State plan, but whose duties
are only to help children who
have unusual difficulty in school.
Board Meets Tomorrow.
The school board will meet at
10 am. tomorrow at the STRAIT
ford Junior High School instead
of the usual meeting place in
school administration headquar-
ters. The change was made in
anticipation of large attendance
to protest proposed cuts in the
school budget totaling 100000
as suggested by the Interim
Committee.
The Arlington Education As
sociation's executive committee
said today that spokesman for
the group will attend the board
meeting to review reasons for the
$500 salary increase asked by the
association for teachers. The
Interim Committee recommend
ed that this increase be pared
down to $100.
The County Board will meet
at 8 pm. Monday to adopt a
budget and set the tax rate for

Most of the complaints, Mr..
Aichel said, come from drivers
on Route so. They were accus-
toned to passing right through
Seven Corners while motorists
on other intersecting routes had
to wait. he declared.
Mr.. Aichel said adjustments
have been made in the system

Part of the trouble, according

Court Clears Hughes
In School Fund Case
By a Stoff Correspondent Of The Star

BY StoH Correspondent Of The Stor
PRINCE FREDERICK, Md,
May 8.-Harry R. Hughes, for
mer superintendent of Calvert
County schools, is free today of
a charge of embezzling $500 of
public funds.
The 51-year- -old official, who

acquitted yesterday by court
that termed his integrity "as
clean as hounds tooth"
Mr.. Hughes was tried without

Charles c. Marbury and J. Dud-
ley Digges on an indictment re-
turned last February in the midst

Chief Judge John B. Gray, jr.,
who lives here, was not on the
bench.

accumulated in the last eight
years because of faulty account

School Board Asks
Falls Church Council
To Delay Bond Action
The Falls Church School Board

The Falls Church School Board
last night voted to ask City Coun-
Gil to delay action on the $775,-
900 proposed school bond issue
it requested two months ago.
Last week the council reject
ed the bond proposal in its orig
inal form and asked City Attor-
ney Lytton Gibson to confer with
school officials before drafting
a new referendum question for
consideration by city voters. Sew
eral council members indicated
opposition to the full SITS, 900
figure and indicated they want
ed specific questions drafted on
elementary and high school con-
Struction plans.
The School Board earlier sug-
geSted a bond issue referendum
on June 9, but board members
agreed last night that not enough
time remains before that date
to publicize construction plans
adequately. The board indicated
it would resubmit it's request
for a bond issue in time for a
referendum in September.
The board authorized Mr.. Glib
son to complete negotiations in
volving penalty funds with a
bonding firm representing the
builder of two city schools who
failed to complete the projects
within the contract time. The
builder, the B. & j. Construction
Co., built the new high school at
a contract price of $678, 900 and
the Mount Daniel Elementary
School at a contract price of
$4,000.
Mr.. Gibson said the tentative
settlement offer Of about $4,000
has been reached with the bond
ing firm. The School Board
agreed to accept this amount.
The high school, opened last
September, originally was Sched-
uled for opening in September,
1851.
The board adopted it's school
calendar for the term beginning
next September, providing for
180 teaching days.

Federation President Walter F.
Mulligan. disregarding injuries
suffered month ago in a fall at
his College Park home, directed
the ceremonies in the County
Service Building.
Sewer Charge Explained.
The meeting heard a talk by
Harry B. Shaw, chief engineer
for the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission. Mr.. Shaw
explained the reasons for the
commissions recently imposed
sewer service charge. He rode
out a barrage of pointed ques-
tions but failed to bring smiles
to the faces of the delegates.
Sewer service charges based
on water consumption are not
unusual. Mr.. Shaw declared,
and are held to be equitable in
various sections of the country.
The chief reason for the extra
billings, he explained, stems
from the fact that the commits
sion has been paying some of its
operating expenses from the
proceeds of construction bond
issues. Accountants have criti-
cized this procedure, he said,
and have insisted that such
costs be paid out of revenue.
Mr.. Shaw reminded the dele
gates that dissatisfied citizens
have the legal right to ask the
State Public Service Commission
to review his agency's service
rates.
Two Resolutions Adopted.
The Federation adopted two
resolutions offered by Mrs. Irma
Bogdanoff. chairman of the
county affairs committee. One
urged Congressional support of
a bill to provide $36O,0O0 for
purchase of parkland in Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
Counties under the Capper-
Cramton Act.
The other urged Maryland's
Sobeloff Commission for Reor-
ganization of the State Govern
ment to make public it's conf
Dental reports on the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and the
Sanitary Commission.
"The reports on these commits
Sions are paid for by tax funds"
the resolution said, land these
commissions are supported by
tax funds; therefore any such
reports are public property"
A third resolution presented
by Mrs. Bogdanoff. asking the
county school board to imple-
ment new legislation aimed at
establishment of kindergarten
schools, touched off a heated de-
bate and protracted parliament
tary pickering, Mrs. Bogdanoff
calmed the tempest by withdraw
ing the resolution.

Planners Omit
Chevy Chase
Route
Maryland Agency
Adopts 25-Yeur
Master Program

The controversial .high-speed
highway proposed to run through
Chevy Chase, Md. has failed to
make an appearance on the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commissions 25-
year master highway plan.
The commission yesterday
adopted the plan, omitted the
bitterly debated southeast leg of
new Route 240 and indicated it
was staying out of the squabble
between park enthusiasts and
highway engineers.
The Maryland State Roads
Commission plans call for the
route to extend from Grosvenor
lane and Wisconsin avenue,
across Chevy Chase to the East
West highway at Beach drive.
Opposition in ID. C.
The eXpressway then was pro-
posed to connect with a planned
freeway along the western side
of Rock Greek Park into the
District. The National Capital
Planning Commission. Chevy
Chase residents and the Com
mittee of One Hundred on the
Federal City opposed the plan to
open the parkway to heavy
traffic.
A spokesman for the Mary
land planners indicated the
commission did not feel it was
justified in planning the route,
thus forcing the hand of Dis
trict officials to open the park.
"We are not in favor of dump
ing a lot of traffic on the East
West highway before the Rock
Creek expressway is built" the
spokesman said.
The revised long-range high
way plan also calls for a change
in the proposed routing of the
southwest leg of the new Route
240. The plan calls for it to be
located about 112 miles to the
west of Burdette road, routing
it along Thomas branch to Mac
Arthur boulevard into the Dis
trict.
Other changes in the plan
made since the preliminary draft
was published several months
ago include:
l. Extension of the proposed
new Route 20 from White Oak
to the proposed Northern Park
way in the Sligo valley.
Western Avenue Extension.
2. Extension of Western ave-
nue. north to East-West highway.
3. Provision for an eastern by
pass to Silver Spring from Piney
Branch road and New Hampshire
avenue to University lane via the
new Maryland parkway. This
would eventually connect with
Fort Drive in the District.
4. Extension of Pennsylvania
avenue Sc. to the Marlboro pike
at Forestville.
S. Increasing the classification
of the outer inter-county belt
road from a controlled major
highway to an expreSsway.
A number of other minor
changes were made in the master
plan which will be available to
the public some time next month.
Some 10000 copies of the plan
are being printed.
The commission yesterday also
named Sidney M. Oliver to meet
with Montgomery County Off
cials on the pending transfer to
the county of the commissions
recreation program.
