Montgomery Acts
To Condemn Lqnd
For School Site

The Montgomery County Board
Of Education has instituted con-
demnation proceedings for an
eight-acre tract Of land on which
the board hopes to build a $780,
pupil elementary school serving
Washington Grove and a portion
of Gaithersburg.
DR.. Forbes H. Norris, county
school superintendent, yesterday

filed after school officials and
owners of the land failed tc
agree on a sales price.
In the new school budget, DR.
Norris said, $280,700 was ear
marked for the school, planned
to replace the present 70-pupil
Washington Grove School. The
proposed school is to be designed
like the Darnestown School.
The condemnation papers, filed
in Montgomery Circuit Court

Perry Westland, c. Willard Ash
ley and the Suburban Land Co.,
Inc. The property sought is part
of tracts known as Crabbs Or

A member of the Montgomery
County Board of Education last
might demanded a speedup in the
Icounty's school construction pro-
gram, charging that "dilly-
Idallying" threatened to upset the
planned opening of new schools
in September, 1856.
Mrs. Helen Scharf said the
board had procrastinated in buy

and signing contracts and sug-
Igested that timetable be COM

know the status of building at all
times.

administration had failed in the
last year to exercise the power
of condemnation in acquiring

had voted authorization.
Norris Explains Delays
DR.. Forbes H. Norris, superin-
tendent of schools, said site pur-
chases were delayed because
certain citizens of Montgomery
County wanted too much for

A fact-finding committee to
study problems of desegration
in Prince Georges County schools
last night advised the school
board to integrate students with
out regard to race "as soon as
Ipractivable in each school where
classroom facilities and other
conditions will permit"
The committees 28-page re-
port was released by the school
board after a one-hour closed
session with committee repre-
Isentatives in the Bladensburg

as the committees co-chairmar
with DR.. Russell L. Childress

Asks Board Policy
The report also stated "a need
lis felt for a prompt and clear

port will not be adopted by the
board as official policy.

at its next meeting on August

Simple Answers Discounted
As Solution to Delinquency

The solution to the juvenile
delinquency problem does not lie
in the simple answers" such as
parental irresponsibility, poor
housing, coddling by courts and
the like, a speaker said yesterday.
Philip G. Green. of the Chill
dren's Bureau of the Department
of Health, Education and We'll
fare said:
These answers go out the
window when confronted with
statistics"
He pointed to the drastic
rise and fall in juvenile crime
since 1910 when it shot upward.
1t dropped again in 1916. eSx-
planned. and has risen again
from 1948 to the present time.
Three-Day Meeting
Mr.. Green spoke to delegates
to the Governors Conference on
Juvenile Delinquency in Mary
land. He added that an increase
in services is the best solution
to the problem. He is director OF
the Division Of Juvenile Delin-
quency Service for the bureau.
The session was the opening one
of the three-day meeting at the
University of Maryland, Mr..
Green added:
I'VE cannot say that parents
were responsible in 1916 and be-
came irresponsible again in
1948," he asserted. THE juvenile
crime rate reflects the state of
uneasiness of the whole world.
Mr.. Green said there is no
easy way or inexpensive way to
combat juvenile delinquency but
added that services should be in
creased to meet the problem.
He stated that only II pei
cent of the probation officers
Evening star., 1955-07-26

have had any professional train
ing and only the half of the
juvenile courts in the country
have any probation services at
all.
Mr.. Green suggested the con-
ference concern themselves with
better coordination of public
and private agency services, po-
lice, courts and schools. He also
urged proper and suitable de-
tention for juveniles, training
schools with a suitable curricu-
lum for rehabilitation and better
for parole. police and
institutional personnel.
First Maryland Meeting
The Statewide meeting is the
first to be held in Maryland. In
dividual States were urged last
year at the National Conference
of Juvenile Delinquency to hold
such meetings to encourage ef-
fective teamwork in combating
the problem.
Earlier, Gov. McKeldin told
the group that although no de-
cisions would be reached at the
meeting, "this could be the most
important conference in the his
tory of Maryland"
The conference will include
workshops on various aspects OF
the juvenile delinquency prob
lem including home training,
Juvenile Courts, police services
parental responsibility and treat
ment and rehabilitation.
Workshop speakers also in

ton at Michigan State College

program that fully provides for
the slow learner and average
student.
8. Adoption, as soon as pos
sible, of an expanded health ed
ucation program in schools, al
though there are no grounds for
fear of an increase in the spread
of communicable diseases among
white children ip a desegregated
system"
'It is obvious" the committee
reported, that availability of
classroom space will be a major
factor in determining where and
how fast desegration can take
place"
Despite a current building pro-
gram, Prince Georges school IA
cilities still have not caught up
with increased enrolment.
45,613 Students
The report said Prince Georges
had 45,613 students at the end of
the last school term, of these,
39,638, or 86.9 per cent. were
white and 5,975 or 1871 per cent
were non-white.
At the elementary level there
were 25,818 white students and
3,847 non-whites. At the Sec
ondary level there were 1890
white students and 2,12S nom
whites.
A jump to a total $4,000 is
expected in the school enroll
ment in September.
Transportation and redistrict-
ing where considered other gen.
eral problems in assigning chill
'dren to schools. All committee
members were in favor of con-
tinuing the present policy of
fixed school boundaries.
The committee also found, in
a survey of county residents,
that "a substantial majority of
the white group felt that a grad
Iual program-12-year or some
other variation-was to be pre-
ferred."

Right-of-Way
ChanqeAsked

Measures to tighten Mary

attention of the Legislative
Council at its next meeting Au-
gust 10. J.
Senate President Louis L.
iGoldstein said last night that he
would recommend the council
consider giving the Roads Com
mission access condemnation
rights and a more effective
prior taking" authority.
The Legislative Council is COM
posed of Senators and House
Delegates and prepares legisla-
ton between sessions for intro
duction in the regular General
Assembly session.
Senator Goldstein said that he
thought both measures had con-
siderable merit, especially in the
construction of dual highways
and limited access roads.
The Senate president said he
believed that with access con-
|demnation rights, properly con-
Itrolled, the Roads Commission
would to able to save the State
substantial money.
Senator Goldstein added that
he had studied the PennSyl-
yania system of right of way ac-
Iquisition last year when the as
Isembly was working on a toll
road bill for Maryland. He added
that under the system, which
speeds up the time between plan
ming a road and acquiring the
right of way, speculators'
chances of moving in are cut
considerably.
Delegate Blair Lee III, chair
man of the Montgomery County
delegation, said that he felt the
Pennsylvania system was "a

Commission at times has been
accused of being arbitrary in
selection of new highway routes
even under the present system.

BY E. E. EDGAR.

COMMANDMENT - Toward
the close Of his baseball career,
slugger Hack Wilson played out

then managed by Casey Stengel.
Wilson, who liked more than
his share OF good liquor, was no
longer the iron man he had been
in his younger days. During q
game with Philadelphia, the
Phillies teed on on the Dodger
pitcher and got i've straight hits
OF the fence In right field. which
Wilson was patrolling. It was q
tin fence, and when the bali
struck against it. the clatter
could be heard for blocks.
Finally, Stengel walked to the
mound to yank the pitcher. Will
son. who had been on a hinge the
night before. leaned face forward
against the fence, his tongue
hanging from all the running.
The Brooklyn pitcher (the
Dodgers were then in their zany
period refused to leave the game
and got into q hassle with STEM
gel. He turned around and tried
to fling the ball over the fence.
His control was still OF. how
ever. The ball bounced on the
fence with a terrific bang.
Wilson, thinking the lombard
ment had resumed. dashed after
the ball, retrieved 1t and made
a perfect throw into second base.
Stengel, hysterical, fell down and
rolled on the grass.
