Norris Probes
Euvesdropping
In Schools

Montgomery County School
Supt. Forbes H. Norris will in
vestigate unofficial reports that
some schol principals have
eavesdropped on teacher-parent
conversations by using the in.
accommodation systems in
schools.
DR.. Norris last night said he
would investigate the reports
after the matter was preached
by School Board member Wylie
w. Barrow.
Mrs. John 9. Scharf, board
president, said she had been adj
vised by Eric Rhodes, executive
secretary of the Montgomery
County Education Association,
that the teachers group had
never received any complaints
of misuse Of the intercom sys-
tenn.
Eight elementary schools in the
county have the system.
A controversy over the inter-
com system arose when a minor
ity group in the Wheaton Woods
PTA protested an association
plan to purchase for its school
a two-way communications sys-'
TEN which would technically per-
NIT a classroom to be monitored.
Some of the PTA members
have indicated they feel an inter-
com system should have an indi-
Gator in the classroom so that the
teacher will know when it is in
use.

Stanley Backs
School Bond
Buying Policy

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. IL Up,
Gov. Stanley said today the
State retirement system will con-
tinue its policy Of investing in
school bonds Of Virginia locali-
ties ''in proper cases."
The Governors comment was
made in a statement released by
his Office and followed several
conferences during the past 10
days between Stanley and men,
bers of the State commission on
local debt, the Treasury Board
and trustees of the retirement
system.
An aide to Gov. Stanley. ques-
toned as to the proper cases, .
said the retirement system would
be guided by factors involved in
the individual bond issues for
sale.
Members of the debt commits
sion the Treasury Board and
the retirement system Board OF
Trustees, the Governor said, "are
in full agreement" that Virginia
localities should be assisted in
every way possible in the mar
keting Of their bonds at fair and
reasonable rates of interest. This
they intend to do"
Cites Past Policy
Gov. Stanley pointed out this
us a continuation of past policy.
The debt commission has assist
ed many localities in the mar
keting of their bonds since its
creation in 1850.
A spokesman for the retire.
ment system said 1t now has
total assets Of $85 million. Its
investments include $47, 438, 900
in Federal Government bonds,
$29, $4,000 in municipal bonds,
Including courtyard State, and
$7,975.00O in corporation bonds.
The subject Of school bonds
was brought to the Governors
attention last month when the
city Of Hopewell failed to receive
a single bid on a school bond
issue of more than 81 million.
The city council had placed a
4 per cent ceiling on the bonds.
Bid Called Too High
A few weeks earlier South
Norfolk DIRE wa single bid of
4.99 per cent when it offered
slightly more than a half million
dollars in school bonds for sale
The city turned down the bid on
the ground it was too high.
Robert T. Marsh, jr., a Rich
mond banker and chairman of
the local debt commission, said
at the time Of the hopewell bid
opening that the non-appear-
ance of any bidders reflected an
adverse psychological reaction
following Virginia's adoption of
Gov. Stanley's no-integration
school program.
Other State officials have con-
tended. however. a tight money
market existing throughout the
country is a basic factor.
