Budget Study
In Arlington
HoIcomb Committee
Scored for Biased
Proposals to Board

The Arlington Civic Fedora
tion last night attacked a budget
study handed to the County
Board on Saturday as biased.
factually erroneous and grossly
inadequate" and disapproved
most of its proposed budget re-
ductions.
The study was made by a six
man Interim Budget Committee.
headed by Ernest j. Holcomb,
appointed by the board to re-
view 1954-55 budget requests.
After the committee submitted
its report, the board decided to
hold another hearing on the pro-
posed budget at 8 pm. tomorrow
at Stratford Junior High School.
Votes Its Own Report.
The federation last night ap-
proved its own report on the
budget study. Arthur Conover
reported on the school portion
and Haldor Mohat on the county
budget.
The federation's report lam
basis the committee recon-
mendations on schools, which
ask postponement of a kinder
garten program until after q
referendum is held, and recon-
mends cuts in the $8.1 million
school budget totaling $760.008.
The committee said $4,000 Of
this amount could be used for
other school purpi ses. or the
County Board could cut present
tax rates.
The federation said the study
sis biased, contains errors of
fact, presents grossly inadequate
statistical substantiation and
makes recommends tions that II
adopted would have a serious
and cripplhsg effect on the quail
ity of education for the county's
school children"
Study Criticisms Listed.
In considering the parts of the
study dealing with general
county government, the fedora
tion made no overall statement,
but gave these criticisms:
/. Opposed any reduction in
the $4,000 Civil Defense appro-
priation proposed by County
Manager A. T. Lundberg.
2. Opposed any reduction in
planning appropriations because
failure to do good planning now
will cost the county dearly
later on"
8. Opposed changes in the
policy of giving discounts for
prompt payment of water bills,
pending study.
4. Called the recommended
imposition of a service charge
on trash and garbage collection
"a backward step"
5. Asked that a recommends
ton to consolidate highway con-
tingency funds be broadened to
include all county contingency
funds.
6. Disapproved of a recon-
mendation to drop playground
directors because the play
ground program is an important
influence against juvenile delin-
quency and should be continued
on a professional, rather than.
amateur, make-shift basis"
7. Opposed recommendation
that school and county Libraries
be consolidated.
Statistics on Schools Hit.
In criticizing the study's sta
tistics, the federation referred to
a table in the committee report
showing Arlington highest
among seven Virginia cities and
counties in per-pupil operating
costs. The federation said a
more satisfactory study was
made for the Arlington and
Montgomery County school sys-
TENS this year in comparing II
suburban communities in the
Nation.
This study, the federation
said, shows that compared to
Is other suburban communities
from California to New England,
Arlington ranks third In family
income. second in educational
level of adults and 18th in per-
pupil cost of schools.

way, avoiding wherever posi-
bic technical phraseology.
CinemaScope, like Cinerama,
is a wids-screen process. And,
like Cinerama, it invites a
sense Of audience participa-
ton because Of the wide. pam
oramic screen that duplicates
to . marked degree the wide
angle vision Of the eye. Stereo-
phonic sound, with loudspeak-
er units placed behind and
around the screen to play
back three to five separate
sound tracks, is also common
to both of the big screen meth
DDS of movie presentation.
Beyond this point there is little
similarity.
In Cinerama the scene is re-
corded. through three lenses.
on three separate films which
are subsequently projected by
means of three projectors. In
CinemaScope a single system
is used with the conventional
camera lens, supplemented by
a special lens attachment, re-
cording the scene on one film.
Later, this same attachment is
fitted to the protector for
screening the film.
Film Is 'Decompressed'
To accomplish this wide
screen effect with only one
camera the special squeeze"
or anamorphic lens attachment
mentioned previously is used.
The invention Of Henri Chre-
ten of France. by means of
a system of cylindrical lenses.
congresses the image of a
wide-angle scene onto a film
of conventional size. During
projection the distorted pic
ture that has registered on
the film is "decompressed" by
the anamorphoscope so that
the screen picture appears in
normal perspective.
In effect the motion picture
camera is approximating the
angle Of human vision which
is about $50 degrees from side
to side. When we look at an
ordinary motion picture we no
tice the edge Of the screen

Dell Publishing Co., which

There is little in the book

1t is, perhaps, a commentary

on the spot.
Several Sound Trocks
When a scene is being filmed.
several hidden microphones
are spotted the length Of the
area to be filmed. Each mi
crophone records on a Sepa-
rate sound track. When played
back by means of the speakers
that are placed along and
behind the screen. the sound
moves with the action across
the screen. adding further to
the illusion of reality.
The immensely of the screen.
its curvature. and the natural
flow of sound also tend to
lend a feel of depth to the pic
ture although this is not a
three-dimension process at all.
And. of course. no special
glasses are needed.
Now it is fairly obvious that
Cinerama, with its tri-lens and
three magazine camera, its
Slated screen. and three syn
chronized projectors, is not for
the amateur. However, anna
teurs with well-padded purses
can look forward to wide
screen CinemaScope in the
home in the not-too- distant
future.
