Hyde Fuvors Tying
Retirement Pay
To Cost Of LIVING

Representative Dewitt S. Hyde
the Republican incumbent from
Maryland's 9Th district, told a
television audience last night he
favors a program that will in
crease payments to retired Fed
eral employees in line with the
cost of living.
He said he believes the an
nuity increases should be tied
in with employe salary increases
Mr.. Hyde. who is opposed in
the fight for the Western Mary
land congressional seat by Demo-
crat John r. Foley, also pledged
to work for legislation to assist
in training more teachers and
assisting those who need to inn
prove their qualifications.
Other programs he said he will
work for if reelected are:
l. An area-wide authority to
regulate transportation in the
Washington metropolitan area.
2. Broadening the powers OF
the Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin for more
regulation and control of pollu-
ton.
3. Further action to develop
the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal
area for recreation, agriculture,
industrial and conservation pur-
poses.

COulu MAKE WITHOUT taking
sealed bids.
Question No. 8, however, has
stirred a storm Of protest from
some civic groups. including the
Allied Civic Group Of Silver
Spring. and the County League
of Women Voters.
The basic intent of this
amendment is to change the
county budget adoption date
from June 80 to April is.
Provision. however. for sup
Elementary appropriations tc
permit the county to comply
with legislation that might be
pressed after that date is the
point at issue in the present
controversy.
Schools Push Measure
The new budget adoption date
would come on the heels of a 90
day session of the State General
Assembly and before the County
Councils own legislative session
in May.
The speed-up in the budget
consideration period and adop-
ton date has been promoted for
several years SO that the school
board could have firm figures on
teachers salaries during normal
recruitment period in the spring
The Montgomery County
Education Association and the
County Council of Parent
Teacher Associations have urged
the amendments passage.
The new budget time would
give school officials and county
department heads two and a
half months to plan their pro-
grams with knowledge of the
funds they will have for the new
fiscal year beginning July l.

lie works projects could be got
ten under way by summer.
At present, supplemental APP
preparations by the council can
be made only out of unappropri-
ated surplus and only in cases
of unforeseen disaster and
other emergencies"
League Opposes Move
The League of Woman Voters
has expressed concern over the
amendments provision that sup
Elementary appropriations could
be made virtually at any time
and without public notice or
public hearing.
The amendment also provides
that the supplemental appro-
|priations can be made by a
majority vote of the council
upon recommendation of the
county manager. Without such
IA recommendation a vote of five
of the seven members and q
public Tearing would be required.
The league, in its opposition,
has also commended that the sup
Elementary appropriations are
not restricted to permitting the
council to comply with previous
ly passed State and county legis-
lation. The amendment also
would permit such appropria-
lions to meet requirements Of or
dinances and regulations passed
at any time by the council.
Montgomery County's present
charter is known for its restric-
tive features on budgetary mat
tiers and its requirement for
public hearings.
The PTA council, in urging
passage of Question 8, said the
county loses between rs and 100
teachers a year because Of the
budget adoption date.

The Christmas songs are per-

Prefacing the villancicos were

versatile, accurate and of excel
lent ensemble. Numbering l3
singers, it is a little less than
half the size of the Chamber
Chorus of Washington, an Or
ganiZation to which it can be
compared in dedication and in
results.
In general, its small size is of
mo disadvantage to the music
it makes, but it does show up
each solo voice. AS in any choir,
the voices, taken individually,
are of noticeably unequal merit,
and some of the pieces, as for
example the des Pres and a
number of the Spanish songs.
were marred by voices inferior
to the average of the chorus.
Father Woollen is a sensitive
and communicative conductor.
and deserves praise both for his
training of the choir and for the
inwardness and clarity of his
presentation of the music.
