Figure Would
Mean 75-Cent
Tax Rute Boost
BY MARY LOU WERNER

An $l8.7 million budget re-
Iquiring a 75-cent tax rate in
crease formally was proposed
today by the Fairfax Board Of
County Supervisors for the
1867 fiscal years.
The supervisors scheduled a
public hearing on the record
spending program for 7 pm,
May 81, at the Fairfax Court
house. Deadline for adoption OF
the new budget is May 30.
The proposed budget is. APP
Iproximately SIS million greater
than this years budget of $l3.8
million. County Executive C. c.
Massey said last years budget
had been expanded during the
year, however. by about 100000.
The 75-cent increase in real
estate and personal property tax
rates had been forecast earlier.
The county levies would rise TO
an all-time high of $3.45.
Bulk for Schools
Expenditures for schools &C
count for most of the budget in
crease. A $92 million appropria-
ton by the county for schools is
called for. The total school
budget is S1l.8 million
Mrs. Anne Wilkins. supervisor
from Mason District, said she
wanted it understood that she
opposed the total cut the super
visors made in the School Board
budget request.
A $225.000 cut was made by
the supervisors after a conference
with the School Board on
Wednesday.
Perhaps we could cut S150.000
from it, but not 1925 ,000." said
Mrs wilkins. What we are
doing is removing all new capital
items from the school budget,
and they need that money to buy
sites"
Il don't recall anyone saying
the money we cut out was for
sites, said Brig. Gen. Richard
P. Ovenshine. Mount Vernon SUI
pervisor. We are just cutting
the school budget total. They
can still buy sites if they want
to-"
Facts Seen Distorted
Chairman Joseph H. Freehill
said he understood School Board
members said they could adjust
their budget to buy sites despite
the cut.
i think you are distorting the
facts, said Gen. Ovenshine to
Mrs. wilkins.
Mrs. wilkins also protested re-
auctions made in the amount OF
money requested for Libraries
and recreation. The proposed
budget allocates S235.000 for IL
braries. which is $4,000 less
than the library board request
ed. For recreation the budget
allows $4,000 instead of the full
$4,000 requested.

He said he favored grouping

units within a classroom on the
elementary level and by rooms

Further, he plans to install a
20-l pupil-teacher ratio in the
high schools next year. TO permit
more individual attention for the
exceptional students. Up to now,
academic classes have suffered
from overcrowding because low

Mr. Mahoney polled nearly TO-

But, the advertisement says,
Mr.. Tydings told a Senate
Privileges and Elections Sub
committee hearings on April 10,
1851:
One of the greatest contrib
utlng factors in our poor
showing in Maryland is the
fact that the Democratic candi-
date for Governor. Gov. Lane,
was beaten by about $4,000
votes. y
Lane Takes Issue
The advertisement appeared
over the names Of seven candi-
dates for the Democratic State

Beneath that advertisement
was another, signed by Mr.. Lane.

the seven people, who are sup
posed to have signed the adver-
tisement. are the real authors
Of it. Most Of them are friends
Of mine and I do not think they
would go out of their way TO
make me a personal issue in this
campaign.
Il suspect the real author is
Bill Hetzer, who is getting lit
tie desperate in his efforts TO put
over Mahoney in Washington
County. Mr.. Tydings was entirely
truthful when he said there was
an apathy toward me when l was
running but that so-called
apathy had been famed into a

paign honey conducted

To Raise Learning Level

DR., Forbes H, Norris, Mont

Of schools. last night took his
case for raising the learning
level of county school pupils be-
fore a jury of parents. The YER
dict was enthusiastically in his
favor.
+ Speaking before more than
100 members of the Chevy Chase
Elementary School Parent
Teacher Association. the edu-
Gator said he hoped to eradicate
the "sugar-coated process of
teaching the pupils and insist
on greater efforts by the young
Sters.
He raped the attitude by some
parents that IF Johnny is pleas
ant and happy in school, then he
should advance in grade"
In high schools, he cited the
cases of students who. supported
by parents. try to take the easy
way out" by selecting courses
they can easily master, rather
than the courses for which they
are fitted.
Work and Drill Promised
Work and drill in the class
room-and home work" were
offered by future prospects for
the students.
DR.. Norris talk came on the
heels of a warning a day earlier
that he plans to wipe out
chronological promotions" in
the school system. Such promo
tionS. which move children from
grade TO grade in their age
group despite deficits in their
achievements, have been in effect
for years in the county.
His recent utterances indicate
the start Of major push to-
ward upgrading the school sys-
tenn. already regarded as one
OF the Nations best. The move
comes as DR.. Norris Is round
