316 residents Of her area,
charging there has been too
much conservatism during the

dent of the League of Women

$6 Million Bond Issue
For Schools Approved

The Prince Georges commits
sioners concluded the county's
first public hearing on a school
construction program in Upper
Marlboro yesterday with unani-
nous approval of a $6 million
bond issue to build 149 class
rooms next year.
Acting School Supt. George H.
Robinson drew applause from the
approximately 10 persons attend
ing the hearing. after he detailed
plans for seven new elementary
schools, a new Junior high school,
additions to four elementary
schools and three high schools
and the acquisition of eight new
sites for future construction.
Mr.. Robinson said the Sc mil
lion program drawn by school
officials. in addition to the total
156 claSSrooms now under con-
struction, will provide for the
county's school needs in 1856.
The county also is anticipating
a $l.8 million Federal grant for
school construction. portion of
which will finance a 25-classroom
junior high school in the Chill
lum area.
But" he added. 1--WE will have
to continue to build to keep up
with the expected growth of the
county"
Affecting Factors
Future enrolment figures, he
said, will be governed by State
rulings on integration, the dis
persal of Government agencies
into the county and withdrawal
of students to join armed serv-
ices.
Commissioner Herbert w.
Reichelt, who with other COM
missioners has stood pat against
any larger school bond issue at
this time, said the Sc million
issue will cost the county about
$500,000 in principal and inter-
est payments next year. equaling
an approximate 12-cent increase
in the tax rate.
But Mrs. Kenneth j. McCallis-
ter of Forest Heights said county
residents are willing to pay
higher taxes now to finance still
more school construction.

On New School Plans

could have sought an additional
$4,000. But Mr.. Mcleod main
tanned that the full S22,676 was
justified because abnormal soil
conditions required a complete
re-design of the foundation of
the building. atop the "unusu-
ally extensive" changes suggest
ed in the structure itself.
A committee was named to
negotiate the issue with the
architects.
The board voted to set up
new post of special assistant to
the superintendent. who will be
charged with working on integra-
ton problems. Mr.. Norris said
he will select Fred Dunn, a pupil
personnel expert.
King Objects
Mr.. King objected to the post
on the grounds Mr.. Dunn could
promote "a state of affairs not
yet exiting"
While approving in principle
the establishment of practical
nursing course at the Montgom-
cry Junior College. the board
voted not to seek funds for the
program this year. At the urg-
ing of member Wiley w. Barrow.
the board increased tuition at the
junior college for out-of-state
students from $425 to $3.50.
The resignation of Frank st.
Clair, director of supporting
services, was accepted. Mr.. st.
Clair gave reasons of health for
his resignation.
The board approved purchase
of sites for three new schools:
Rosemary Hills Elementary, rs
acres at $4,000 an acre; North
wood Junior High, 29.5 acres on
Old Bladensburg road for $4,000
an acre, and Northwest Bethesda
Senior High, 29.9 acres on Bells
Mill road at $4,000 an acre.

City Manager Ira F. Willard
said the city has only 10 cruisers
and that all of these are not
necessarily assigned to regular

The Council asked Mr.. Willard
to study the availability of pri-

use of off-duty policemen and
reimbursement to the city for

A revelation that school de-
partment chiefs had been con-
ferring directly with an archi-
tect in the planning of a new
school sent the Montgomery
County Board of Education into
a closed-door session yesterday.
The conference resulted in
such extensive changes in plans
that, together with other revi-
sions, a boost Of S22.6 .676 in fees is
being sought by the architect.
John Mcleod, the architect,
told the board that the depart
ment supervisors had suggested
the changes in special rooms at
the projected $1.4 million Whea-
ton Junior High School.
He said there was mo guidance
from the administrative staff or
the Board of Education as to
how far revisions should go"
despite his earlier warning that
the changes would cost money.
DO the supervisors have the
final say? Who edits their work."
asked Harrison King, board
member.
News to Superintendent
"It's news to me-" said Su-
perintendent of Schools Forbes
H. Norris.
At that point, Willard G. Nc,
Graw, board chairman. asked
reporters to leave the meeting
room.
The supervisors were not iden-
titled. Later, Mr.. Norris said
that board policy permits the
department heads under him
only to make recommendations
through the administrative
channels.
Under terms Of the original
contract for planning the school,
the architect firm of Mcleod
and Ferrara was slated to get
a fee of $26,300. This represents
half the usual fee of $52 600 be-
cause plans for the Wheaton
school were to be a "re-use" of
plans for the North Bethesda
