Teachers Fight
Cut in Budget
Montgomery Group
Coils 1t Ridiculous

The school budget cut pro-
posed by Montgomery County
Manager Melvin L. Reese would
deal the county's school system
"a destructive blow from which
we might never fully recover" "
the executive committee of the
Montgomery County Education
Association warned today.
A statement released by the
teachers group calls it com
pletely ridiculous for one of the
wealthiest counties per capita
in the world to find itself in such
a position
The statement continues: 1--WE
believe the Montgomery County
Council would be sabotaging the
welfare of our county if it did
not restore the school budget
cuts made by the county man
ager."
Mr.. Reese has proposed ST.
076.000 cut in the operating
budget requested by the School
Board-including $882,O00 for
instruction. A SO million reduc-
ton is proposed in the capital
budget request for schools.
I'm the face of a national
teachers shortage, Montgomery
County must battle other locali-
ties to hire qualified teachers. y

Fairfax Counties and the Dis

County Liquor
Action Waited
Four Corners Outlet
Before Council T Todoy

The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil today was slated to make a
decision on whether to set up
the county's 10th liquor dispen-
sary in the Four Corners area.
In February the council re-
jected the dispensary at that site
because of overwhelming oppo-
sition by residents. A rehearing
in Rockville last night showed
that community attitude toward
the dispensary had not changed.
A group of 40 residents. led
by churchmen, protested the es-
tablishment of the liquor outlet
on the grounds it was not need
ed, that it would foster juvenile
delinquency and would create
additional traffic proble m S
around the Woodmoor Shopping
Center.
Requested BY 81
The rehearing was requested
by a group of 81 residents who
signed a petition calling for the
branch store.
William B. Wheeler, attorney
representing Chester H. Keller.
owner of the store site, told the
council it was its duty to make
liquor available where the pop
ulation is congested.
The Rev. F. Paul Harris, min
lister of the Marvin Memorial
Methodist Church. presented
petition bearing SAT names pro-
testing the location of dis
pensary within 500 feet of his
church.
E. w. Bowman, representing
the Woodmoor Citizens Associ-
alton. said he was surprised at
the rapidity of the reopenlng
of the issue. He said the 400
members of the association we're
polled and 165 opposed the dis
pensary and II favored it.
Raps Petition Claim
Robert NJ. Lyon charged that
the dispensary was being showed
down the throats of the citizens.
He attacked Mr.. Wheeler's claim
that more names could have
been obtained favoring the petit
ton. He charged also that the
move was promoted by Mr.
Keller because "the citizens did
not retain counsel"
Mrs. Stella Werner, council
woman, commented that the pro-
ponents had as much oppor-
tunity to obtain names as the
objectors. Mr.. Wheeler was the
only spokesman for Mr.. Keller
from the Woodmoor area.
The council must act today
because an option for leasing the
store owned by Mr.. Keller ex-
pires tomorrow.
Terms of the proposed lease
were never brought before the
council, according to J. Grahame
Walker, council president. Mr..
Keller said he would expect a
five-year lease but declined COM
