School Patrol Honors
Silver Spring Student
For Heroism on Duty

Quick thinking and fast ac-
ton by a 13-year-old Silver
Spring girl in grabbing a school,
mate from the path of an auto
has won her the School Safety
Patrols highest award for hero
ism, the American Automobile
Association announced yester-
day.
Nancy Cissel, daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. William L. Cissel, Of

Spring. was the only girl among
eight school patrol members
across the Nation selected to
receive the AAA gold lifesaver
medal at the 18th National
Safety Patrol Assembly and pa
rade here May z and 8.
Nancy, a member Of the safety
patrol at Montgomery Hills
Junior High School, hesitated to
relate the details of the incident
which won her the award. Her
mother and AAA records supplied
the story:
On the afternoon of March 5,
Nancy stepped from a school
bus stopped at Georgia avenue
and Urbana drive in Silver
Spring to take her assigned post
in the center Of the intersection
before students leaving the bus
could cross. Suddenly a speed
ing car appeared from behind a
line of cars waiting for the bus
to start. .
Norman Paratore, II, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred j. Paratore
Of 1909 Urbana drive, walked in
it's path. hidden from view of the
approaching car. Nancy pulled
Norman to safety as the car
sped by.
The school bus driver noted
the license number of the car,
which had illegally passed a
stopped school bus. The driver
later was arrested, tried and
fined.
The judges who selected the
patrol heroes were Arthur E.
Miller, Montgomery County di-
rector of public safety; Leroy
E. Wike. executive secretary OF
the International Association OF
Chiefs of Police; Don S. Patter-
son, assistant director for ele-
mentary schools of the United

PTA Council in Montgomery
Challenges Building Fund Cut

The Montgomery County
Council of Parent Teacher As
sociations yesterday challenged
a proposed reduction of nearly
SIS million in construction funds
requested by the school board,
declaring that three schools to
be built with the money must
be ready by September, 1856.
The Board of Education re-
quested $9.2 million for it's cap
ital Improvements budget in
fiscal 1954-55. The budget pro-
posal submitted last week by
Acting County Manager Jeptha
J. Carroll recommends only $4.3
million for schools.
School board requests deleted
from the managers proposal are !:
$1.3 million for Rockville Junior
High: $2.8 million for North Be-
thesda Senior High. and $1.2
million for Wheaton Junior High.
Suggests Delay.
The managers budget pro-
poses instead to allocate $175, 900
for Rockville Junior High and
1921 900 for North Bethesda to
acquire sites and prepare plans.
For Wheaton Junior High, he
recommends $150,O00 for plans
and site improvements. The
manager suggests that construc-
ton funds be put off until the
1856 budget because construc-
tion funds apparently will not be
required before July, 1855.

BULLETIN

Harold F. Hammond, Mont
gomery County Council presi-
dent, said last night after a
three-hour executive session
that no decision had been
reached regarding the status
of County Manager Edward
T. Beall.
The Montgomery County
Council was closeted in Rockville
last night with County Manager
Edward T. Beall in a discussion
of accusations made against him
in an Ohio auditors report.
It was the first time that Mr..
Beall had met with the council
since the auditors report was
made public April IL.
The report named Mr.. Beall
in six findings for recovery in
connection with a shortage Of
$2.458 from the Portsmouth
(Ohio) General Hospital during
1852 when he was Portsmouth
City Manager and acting director
Of the hospital.
Delay in Decision Seen.
After the council and the
manager had been in session for
about an hour, council president
Harold F. Hammond emerged
from the conference room to tell
waiting reporters that Mr.. Beall
had read about a 40-minute
statement to the council.
Mr.. Hammond said the state
ment included Mr.. Beall'S de-
tailed answers to the fund
shortage accusations in the audi
tors report and to some addi-
tional questions regarding his
personal life that have arisen
since the report was publicized.
Mr.. Hammond said he did not
believe the council would be able
to reach a definite decision until
later on Mr.. Beall's future Mont
gomery County status unless all
five council members present
were in agreement. Presumably
he meant that if there was dis
agreement among the five mem
bers present on the question of
whether Mr.. Beall should be re-
tanned or dismissed, the issue
would have to be held over until
the two absent members could
be consulted.
Two Members Absent.
The council members absent
because they were out of town
on business were George F. Mes
bitt and j Louis Monarch. .
In addition to a copy of the
142-page auditors report from
Ohio. the council had before 1t
two separate reports submitted
by attorneys sent last week to
investigate the county managers
record, reputation and other
matters in Portsmouth. The two
investigating attorneys, a who
spent three days in the Ohio
city, are David Belts of Rock
vile and Plummer Shearin Of
Silver Spring.
Mr.. Beall left the meeting
after an hour and a half with
the council. He declined to dis
cuss the meeting with reporters.

from 12,400 to 18,600 by Septem-
ber, 1856, and declares that the
three schools should be ready by
that time. The Board of Educa-
ton has stated that the three
projects will take at least 18
months to build, and must be
started before July, 1855 to be
ready in September. 1856.
We approve the desire of the
acting county manager to avoid
any unnecessarily early increase
in the authorization of capital
expenditures" wrote Mr.. Reber.
However. in view of the Board
of Education's statements we do
not see how the authorization of
the funds needed for these three
schools can be delayed"
Questions Posed.
The letter contains seven ques-
tions about the school construc-
ton fund which Mr.. Reber
suggests the manager answer at
the public hearing on the budget
at 8 pm. Thursday in the County
Office Building at Rockville, or
earlier if possible.
The questions ask if the man
ager accepts the Board of
Education's estimates on con-
struction time, enrolment. or
speed with which construction
can begin. The final question
asks: "Can the Office of the
County Manager state what saw
ing, if any, will accrue, to the
county by failing to authorize
now the funds necessary to con-
struct these schools, assuming, as
the board declares, that they will
not be actually drawn upon until
needed?"

u. ). Workers Riqhi
To Run Is Issue in
Rockville Election

Whether Federal employees
should run the town government
of Rockville is the major issue
before the voters as they prepare
to choose a Mayor and four
council members in a municipal
election May 8.
Although only three OF IS
candidates in the contest work
for the Government, charges
and countercharges over their
right to hold town Office has
spanked the campaign.
The three Federal workers are
on one slate. They are Dickran
Hovsepian, candidate for Mayor.
and Alexander Greene and James
Robertson, candidates for coun-
Gil. The other two members of
their slate are John Oxley, an
attorney, and Wendell Turner.
Warren Milor, incumbent coun-
Gilman. is the candidate for
Mayor on a second slate. Run
ming with him are Lowery Riggs,
AL Lazor, Hamilton Wells and
Oscar F'raley. r.
The third slate is Edward Hit
for Mayor, Mrs. Elizabeth Talon.
Walter Baker, Robert Bridges
and Warren Bradshaw for coun-
Gil. Mr.. Bradshaw is an incum-
bent.
The Milor and Hit states are
composed of people in business
in Rockville.
Candidacy Challenged.
Mr.. Milor has demanded that
Mr.. Hovsepian withdraw from
the contest, asserting that his
candidacy is a violation of
Federal regulations. Mr.. Milor
said there is a law against Fed
eral employees soliciting funds
from other Federal employees,
such as has been done by the
Hovsepian slate through the
Citizens for Good Government.
The committee has collected
money from town residents to
pay for newspaper advertise
ments and circulate campaign
literature.
Mr.. Milor told a public meet
ing in Rockville Friday night
that he planned to call the al
legged violation to the attention
of the United States Attorneys
Office in Maryland.
But Mr.. Hovsepian and his
colleagues are confident they
have violated no regulations.
They were aware that three
members of the Arlington Coun-
ty Board were removed from
Office because they were Fed
eral employees. and they checked
into their rights.

Kindergarten Plan
Backed for Advanced
Children in Arlington

The Arlington School Board
yesterday indorsed an advanced
kindergarten program for chill
dren too young to enter the first
grade legally and too advanced.
because of prior pre- school train
ing, to be kept out of elementary
school.
School Supt. T. Edward Rut-
ter said the advanced kinder
garten proposal is for chill
dren whose sixth birthday oc-.
cur between October /, 1854 and
January /, 1855, and who have
had the equivalent Of one pre-
vious year in kindergarten.
The plan, Mr.. Rutter said.
will enable the advanced kin
dergarten pupils later to be.
placed more quickly in the sec
ond grade. Conceivably, he said,
some children may go direct to
the second grade after colnplet-
ingkthe advanced Kindergarten
course. @
Board members added that the
proposal is contingent on the
passage of the recommended
school budget for 1954-55 with
it's 1888, 900 allotment for a kin
dergarten program for 5-year-
oldS.
Under Virginia law, a child
must be 6 years old by October
/ of the school year to be en-
tered in the first grade.
500 Will Qualify.
In the past, to meet the need
of schooling for 512-year-olds,
the Arlington school administra-
tion has provided pre-primary
classes for some. Last fall, on
the basis of psychological tests,
about 245 children were admitted
to pre-primary classes. All were
6 years old by January /, and
on February 1, under another
provision of the State law, were
officially listed as first-graders.
Stanley V. Smith. research di-
rector for Arlington schools, esti-
mated about 500 children would
qualify for the advanced kin
dergarten if the school budget is
approved.
At present. the school ad-
ministration looks to the ad-
vanced kindergarten plan to
solve immediate needs and the
plan may not have to be con-
tinued after this year. Mr..
Rutter said the kindergarten
children in the advanced class
would be among the 1000 chill
dren school heads hope to see
in the entire kindergarten pro-
gram next fall.
Budget Quiz Tomorrow.
Board Member E. r. Draheim
said efforts will be made to have
the General Assembly legislate
changes to allow 5a-year-olds
to enter the first grade. Such
measure failed of passage at the
lawmakers last session, he said,
but another will be introduced
in two years.
Parents were urged by board
members to be on hand when
the proposed budget for Arling-
ton schools is discussed at a
public hearing at pm. tomor-
row in Thomas jefferson Junior
High School.
At the meeting, the school
budgetnof $8.119.017 will be dis
cussed by citizens and members
OF the school and county boards.
The budget total includes the
$3.50 earmarked for the new
public kindergarten program for
5-year-olds and the advanced
