would fight down to the wire ito

anything about my job
The seven-member council
went behind closed doors at $50
o'clock last night. While there.
the members received a telephone
call from Mr.. Beall who. with
his wife, had flown back from
Portsmouth in the afternoon.
Withhold Decision.
Twenty minutes later, in a
jovial but uninformative mood.
the council emerged in a group,
listened while Mr.. Hammond
made his announcement to watt
ing reporters, then left the coun-
ty building. Mr.. Hammond de-
clined to elaborate on his state
ment that the council had acted.
The council president, on Sat-

two steps for the council to
take in the Beall matter. He
said it could suspend him or
1t could ask for his resignation
and if that was not forthcoming,
1t could then fire him.

County School Board
Delays Decision on
New Negro School

The Montgomery County
School Board will hold up until
next week a decision on whether
to build the long-delayed Eastern
Suburban Negro Elementary
School in the Lyttonsville area
of Silver Spring.
School integration presumably
would mean that another, site
might be more desirable.
The question was discussed in
executive session after being
briefly raised in the open part
of last nights board meeting in
Rockville.
Funds Appropriated.
The board now has 1865 900 in
appropriated funds for construc-
ton of the school, accumulated
since 1850.
The board also heard a report
by School Supt. Forbes H. Norris
on how the school system would
be affected by the acting county
managers recommended cut of
$502,810 in the school operating
fund request.
The Norris report said the cut
would mean five less supervisors
and 10 less teachers than the
board had asked; text books,
instruction materials and library
book supplies would drop below
the boards minimum standard
list; teachers being put on the
new pay scale would get only a
$500 maximum increase for any
one year; and there could be
no preventive maintenance on
school buses.
Claims Other Harm.
Cuts would also hamper ad-
ministration and cut out wage
increases for non-teaching per-
sonnel, it was said.
After hearing the detailed re-
port, board members directed
Mr.. Norris to prepare copies
for public distribution.
In other actions. the board
named Thomas s. jackson, for
mer board member, to head a
committee to study the county's
two Junior colleges.

Virginia U. Editor .
Reaffirms Charges
OF Pressure Group
By the Assoeioted Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.
May 25.-The editor of the
University of Virginia student
newspaper has reaffirmed his
charges that a pressure group"
is attempting to influence disci-
plinary action at the school.
In an editorial, Frank M. Slay-
ton holds his ground on charges
Of pressure against the school
administration and argues that
some Of the students involved
are suffering because they are
letting themselves be used.
An editorial in the paper, the
Cavalier Daily, on May 10
charged that discipline in con-
nection with a sex scandal in
volving a number of students
and young girl is being delayed
because Of pressure. The affair
happened several weeks ago.
The students subsequently
were dismissed from the uni
versity. but appealed their dis
missals to the schools board Of
visitors. The board is scheduled
to meet tomorrow to discuss the
matter.
In the editorial, Mr.. Slayton
wrote:
1--WE have no intention of
modifying or compromising the
position we took May 10 when
we stated that political pressure
has been exerted on the admin
istration concerning the dismis-
sal of II men from the uni
verSity.
1T has been admitted to us
by several of the II that pres
sure has been exerted. but that
the pressure was not solicited or
desired. Our attack was aimed
at the individuals who are using
this situation to settle old griev-
ances with the administration.
Whether or not some
OF the II men like it, they are
being used. They have become
pawns and their welfare in this
hearing is no longer primary to
these people.
"The attorneys who came up
here, unable to base their case
on the facts, resorted to attack
ing the methods in which the in
vestigations were conducted, and
indirectly the personal integrity
Of the investigator"

Secret Session Voids
Spirit of New Law

The Montgomery County
Council, acting in closed

The council, however, op-
crates under its local code

vides that meetings may be

Income Tax Schooling

The Internal Revenue Service has announced
that it is starting new advanced training center
at the University of Michigan to train 100 of its
agents each semester.
The National Association of Manufacturers in a
recent press release says that 29 million dollars in
tax liability was saved Montana state taxpayers
through recent tax reductions, elimnations and re-
visions. We hope some of this savings gets down to
our level.
There is another recent publicity release that
tells of the federal government having prepared
teaching materials for a expanded High School
Income Tax Training Course for during 1854
55"
Obviously it is a good idea for schools to pre-
pare teenagers for the days that they'd like to know
more about how to fill out tax forms
At the same time adults in communities
are thinking about the recent major tax revisions
and wondering what changes there will be in the
forms.
1t seems like good project for chambers
of commerce or schools to sponsor a brief course
this fall for adults in methods of preparing tax
forms.
We should listen to authorities tax problems
tell us in language that understand more
about reporting incomes, allowable deductions tax
problems and other phases such as agricultural
bookkeeping for farmers.
It is fortunate that the Internal Revenue service
is sponsoring such course for students in 10000
high schools the land.
In this matter of seeing that such course is
offered for adults, we should take initiative
1t would be wise use of a half dozen evenings this
