Call McKeIdin
Statements on
Bill Misleading

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 80 CR1.-
Legislators will find Maryland
school advocates looking over
their shoulders and urging them
to override when they consider
the vetoed $4,000, 900 school con-
struction bill at the legislative
session beginning Wednesday.
The bill was approved by the
1855 General Assembly. 1t would
increase State aid for new school
construction by $40 per pupil in
Baltimore City and each county.
Gov. McKeldin, who vetoed it
last June. said it was passed
without any regard for financ-
ing its cost" He also said it
continues the countenancing Of
the glazing inequalities in
the assessing of property for tax
purposes" the basis for distri-
buting school aid.
Serves Notice of Battle
Nilsson C. Raver. executive sec
rotary of the Maryland State
Teachers Association, served no.
tive yesterday that his group and
the Maryland Congress of Par
ents and Teachers would battle
for passage of the bill over the
veto.
He accused Gov. McKeldin Of
making statements last week
about State aid for school con-
struction which were misleading.
Gov. McKeldin told the Balti-
more Rotary Club that his
budget proposals for next year
leave essential services unim-
paired" Mr.. Raver said.
Lack Space for $1,000
Mr.. Raver added, How can we
refer to school services as being
'unimpalred' when we lack class
room space for more than 47,000
children in the State who are at
tending school on double session.
in makeshift space. or in excess
lsively large classrooms? In adj
Idition there are many children
housed in obsolete school build
ings.
1T would take more than
1900 additional classrooms to
house the $1,000 pupils currently
in excess of school-building
capacity, yet the Governors
budget will increase the States
contribution for school construc-
ton by only $37 900 over the
amount appropriated for the
current year.
This amount will not even
pay for two classrooms, while
we are already 1900 rooms be-
hind. and we'll need 1000 more
rooms each year for the next
five years to house additional
pupils"
Counties to Get Less
Unless the veto is overriden,
Mr.. Raver said, IL counties will
receive less money from the
State next year for school con-
lstruction than they got this
year.
Baltimore County, for ex-
ample. which expects 6,400 adj
ditional pupils next year, would
get $4,000 less from the State
for school construction unless
the Legislature overrides the
Governors veto of Senate Bill
340," Mr.. Raver said.
Other counties which would
lose, he said, are Calvert, Caro-
line, Carroll. Charles, Dor
chester, Garrett. Howard, st.
Marys, Talbot, Somerset and
Worcester.

A Vase on the Mall
For q Mon of Vision
By JACK JONAS

There's a memorial worth a
little attention in these days
Of talk about restoring the
sweep of the Mall.
It was set up a century ago
to honor the memory of An
drew Jackson Downing, a
landscape architect hired by
Congress in 1850 to lay out the
Mall.
The memorial large vase
atop a pedestal-stands in
closed by a circular iron picket
fence southeast of the Smith
sonian Institutions Constitu-
ton avenue building. 1t is,
appropriately, on the Mall
designed by Downing and,
even more appropriately, on
the SmithSonian'S grounds,
which he personally planned.
The views east to the Capitol
and west to the Washington
Monument are far different
today from that found by
Downing when he came here
in 1851 to begin his work.
The conditions he was seek
ing to change were described
this way by a writer 20 years
after Downing'S death:
sold inhabitants may re-
member the condition of this
part of the Mall prior to 1850
as a large common stretching
from Seventh to Twelfth
streets, and from the canal to
B street, south, presenting a
surface of yellow or white clay,
cut into by deep gullieS, and
without trees except one or
two scraggy and dying syca-
mores."

THE MEMORIAL VASE

THE MEMORIAL VASE
four feet tall and three feet in
diameter at the top-stands
on a five-foot pedestal and
bears this inscription:
This Vase Was Erected
by His Friends in Memory of
Andrew Jackson Downing,
Who Died July %, 1852, Aged
81 Years"
1t was set up in September,
1856, and follows a design by
Downing's partner, Calvert
Vaux, based on a similar vase
in front of Downing's home in
Newburgh, N. Y.
Another inscription reads:
"This Memorial was erected
under a resolution passed at
Philadelphia, in September,
1852, by the American Pomo-
logical Society, of which Mr..
Downing was one of the orig
inal founders"
The vase cost the society
$1,585.
After Downing's death, his
assistants, w. D. Bracken-
ridge and John Saul, carried
out his plans for the Mall,
following his basic design.
But it took years of work to
cover over the clay.
