NEW YORK (JTA) - AL
legations that North African
children from religious homes
had been placed in non-relig-
ious settlements, institutions
and schools in Israel by Youth
Aliyah were categorically de-
MED by Berl Locker, co-chair-

allegations as "baseless and of
questionable origin" and at
trib u t e d responsibility for
most of the charges to a Mr..

Mr.. Locker declared t h a t
youth Aliyah's challenge to
those making the allegation
to cite the case of a single
child from a religious home
placed in a non-religious set
tlement has remained unans-
wered." He said it was "true,
of course, that some people in

Seventy-fiv members OF Mont
gomery County Parent-Teacher
Associations yesterday took a
first-hand look at four down.
county Negro elementary schools
which have been classified as
"sub-standard' by the Board of
Education.
At the end of a three-hour
tour of the schools, a PTA
leader declared it's against all
good conscience" to plan use
of the schools next year.
The Board of Education said
this week the four schools will
be closed" but has refused to
say when. The schools are Ken
Gar Elementary in Kensington;
River Road Elementary in Be-
thesda; Linden Elementary near
Rosemary Hills, and Takoma
Park Negro School.
I'VE as a community have no
right to use these schools"
Lathrop Smith, a member of the
County Board of Education, told
the tour group.
The four Negro schools will be
abolished under any indignation
program. Their total enrolment
is 294, exclusive of Prince
Georges County pupils who at
tend the Takoma Park school.
Mounting indications point to
their abandonment in the fall of
1856 unless the Supreme Court
DEGREES indignation at an earlier
day.
The Board of Education cur
rently is leaning toward a So
called three year program of
ending segregation-a timetable
suggested by John R. Reeves,
chairman of the boards Advisory
Committee on Indignation. The
Remember advisory unit split

of indignation which the school
board apparently has shunted
aside as impractical.

appeared likely yesterday after
County Council members, in a

The ordinance, now scheduled

classifications and restrictions in
the law have been under fire from

The Montgomery House mem
bers sponsored only II county

In statewide legislation, the
six Montgomery delegates were
among the most active, joining

This includes 81 state insurance

Montgomery delegation chair

also was either the sponsor or
co-sponsor of several statewide
measures, including some of the
most important.
The Senate was able to accept
more bills today. The upper
chamber was still on yesterdays
legislative day.
Senate President Louis L.
Goldstein took advantage of this
parliamentary situation to pro-
pose a bill which would cut off
introduction of new measures
in the last 10 days of a session.
Can Suspend Rules
The Constitution now pro-
vides that bills must be intro
duced 10 days before the close Of
a session except under a suspen-
sion of the rules.
With a total of COL Senate
bills introduced as of the close
of business today, the total for
this legislature so far is 1,473.
At the To-day deadline in the
last 90 day session in 1858,
there were only 1888 bills.
DR.. Carl N. Everstine, director
of the Department of Legislative
Reference, had predicted that the

the total number of bills intro
duced from about $500 in 1853
to about 1880 this year.

ment of five zones-agricultural,

mercial and industrial. eliminate
ing the country home zone in
the original ordinance.
The Upper Montgomery County
Land Owners Association, the
leading opponent of the ordi-
nance, has recommended the
original six zones be cut to three
agricultural residential for
farming area, commercial and
industrial. The association also
proposed adding a multi-family
residential zone.
The establishment of minimum
lot sizes in the upper county is
a chief source of controversy. A
10-acre minimum in agricultural
areas was called for in the ordi-
nance. In the planning commits
sion's recent outline of proposed
revisions, the minimum would be
three acres. Up-county critics,
however, asked for half-acre
minimums in the farming area.
On the lot-size issue, council
members were divided as fol-
lows: Council President j. Graz
hame Walker and Mrs. Stella B.
Werner favored the three-acre
minimum. The one-acre size was
favored by Robert T. Snure. Gro
yer T. Walker and Wilbur N.
Baughman supported thes@one-
acre size If applied to residential
use only in the farm zone and
Jerry T. Williams Endorsed the
half-acre lot proposal.

Record Budget
Final Passage Near
On Proposed OutIoy
OF $3.50 Million
By Gene Goodwin
Sfor Stoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 26.-The
House of Delegates advanced to
final passing stage an amended
Maryland State budget of 1859
million for the next fiscal year.
The lower chamber beat back
three attempts to change the
record State spending program
as it was brought to the floor
with about $l.2 million cut-out
by the House Ways and Means
Committee.
Defeated on 1924 and 62-38
votes were amendments offered
by Delegate Fred B. Driscoll. Re-
publican Of Allegany. to restore
cuts the committee made in the
State Health Department appro-
priation - $T8.650 for medical
care and 54,558 for tuberculosis
hospitals.
Mr.. Driscoll criticized the COM
mittee for making an across-the-
board cut of u per cent in the
Health Department budget.
Majority Leader A. Gordon
Boone. committee chairman, told
the House there has been what
he called a certain amount of
laxity in the handling of Health
Department funds over the last
few years and the committee felt
the across the board cut would
serve notice on the department
to tighten up its Housekeeping"

Also defeated on a 82-11 vote
was an attempt by Delegate John
j. Nowakowski, Baltimore City
Democrat, to reduce the Secre-
tary of States annual salary
from $4,000 to $1,000. ]
The amended budget still has
to go to the Senate after it has
been approved by the House,
which is expected now to come
routinely early next week.
A furry of debate preceded
House passage on a 1919 vote
today Of a Senate bill to provide
special auto license tags for ham
radio operators with mobile
equipment in their cars.
Gov. McKeldin has twice
vetoed similar bills. which were
aimed at pinning official identi-
fication on mobile radio cars so
that, they may pass through
police lines in disaster areas.
Delegate Daniel B. Brewster,
Democrat of Baltimore County,
said the bill would establish a

TO rehabilitation of alcoholics.
DR.. Humphrey, who can look
back over three score years and
10, many of them clouded by
alcohol. saw the farm develop
from a rundown place to land
where men will be able to find
themselves again.
There's nothing like the
country for men who are fighting

"Well bring them here. and let
them work on the land and
make new men out of them. ~,
How will we select them, you
ask? That's the S64 question.
You could fill this whole farm
up, so We'll have to sort OF watch
ourselves at the beginning" he
said. N.

The 71-year-old veterinarian.
who now works for the District

explain that the men to be
brought to Lord Willing will be

He indicated that those who
will come there, at least for the
present, will be men he feels
will be benefited by a chance to
work in the open. ]
DR.. Humphrey purchased Lord
