Indignation

white pupil in achievement; that
80 percent of the Negro pupils
are below normal on achievement
tests.
That no other county or munic
ipality in Maryland has proceed
ed with forced indignation but
only on voluntary freedom OF
choice and that Montgomery
County should not be a pilot
county for social changes.
Same Policy Set
Among the basic principals in
cluded in the boards policy state
ment last spring were: "the same
policy of indignation shall pre-
vail throughout the county, pro
vided however the superintendent
with the approval of the board
shall have discretion to vary the
timing of indignation as condi-
tons warrant"
"The indignation of Board of
Education employees shall be ac-
complished at the same time as
the Indignation of pupils"
Employment and placement of
all personnel shall be based on
relative merit established by per-
sonal and professional qualifica-
tons for the requirements of any
particular vacancy"
However, in a letter to the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People in
September, Dr. Norris qualified
the statement on personnel with
the addition, "the judgment of
the school administration shall be
the deciding factor"
In celebrating on this point,
DR.. Norris said that "other items
to be considered are the degree
and caliber of service required by
the school system and the pros
poets of success faced by the can
didate. AS with the pupils so
with other personnel, it is a wise
policy to place individuals in sit
uations where they will have a
reasonable chance to succeed"
Although the board has heard
expressions of opinion on this is
sue from many county groups
since then and held public hear.
ings in November and December,
it has taken no further action nor
issued any clarifying policy state
ment in open meeting.

Tax Raise . .

Continued from page u
only one minor change in the
budget on which the board has
worked since February. Thirteen
thousand dollars was taken from
funds for textbook purchases and
ear-marked for additional clerical
help.
Teachers salaries account for
the biggest single increase in this
years request over last years
budget. A teachers pay raise
and salaries for 300 new teachers
added $2,343,411 to operating ex-
penses.
Board president Helen Scharf
criticized Mr.. Benson's method of
estimating the federal contribu-
ton. Mr.. Benson admitted his es-
innate of government money to
be received next year is probably
very low. Federal funds "over
which we have no control may
be suddenly cut off, he said.
Mrs. Scharf said the underesti-
nation docs not comply with the
Mckinsey suggestion" McKin-
sey and Co., management con-
sultants, have recommended that
the County Council appropriate
the entire approved school oper-
ating budget and that federal and
state funds go right to the county
treasury as they are received.
Mr.. Benson said his plan has
been used for years and is under.
stood by finance officials. He said
money received in excess of the
estimate is carried over to use
in the following years budget

desperate overcrowding in the
Viers Mill area was to have been
relieved in part by the opening of
Rocking Horse Road school.
Opening Delayed
But now this school opening
has been delayed until December
due to a three-month lag in steel
delivery. The question of whether
the new addition to Viers Mill will
be prefabricated or conventional
construction still hasn't been re.
solved.
What was made clear at Tues
days meeting was that in order
to get any kind of addition by
next fall the money to let the con
tract would have to be obtained
before the next fiscal year.
Eighty-four thousand seventy
eight dollars of the money will
come from the first two realloca.
tons for Highland and Weller
Road. This amount was saved on
the contracts let Tuesday for
Highland to Kamp and Heck, and
for Weller Road to Demory
Brothers. The remainder will
come from the Woodmont school,
one of the $3.50 projects which
was deferred.
Also on Tuesday the board au.
thorized DR.. Norris to negotiate
for the purchase of the Rockville
Fire Departments land adjacent
to Richard Montgomery High.
Street Extension Agreed
The board agreed to the exten.
sion of Jefferson Street across
this site to the Hungerford Towne
development provided that Rock
vile will remove the dedication
rights to the street leading to the
school, southwest of the extended
Jefferson Street.
1t still plans to sell the 80
acres of the site fronting on Wis
consin Avenue although the city
has asked that this be kept as q
park or possible site for Rock
ville's proposed civic center.
New principal appointments foi
next year made Tuesday were
James B. Williams, Belt Junior
High; James w. Jacobs, LELAND
Junior to replace Edward A. Bart

publisher said she would not ac-

until the people can vote on the
question.
Mrs. Thomson urged an "inde-
pendent survey" and "a vote" on
whether or not Rockville should
surrender its charter. She said
under the county Rockville resi-
dents might save 30 cents to 40
cents on their tax rate and get
better services faster.
On other matters Mrs. Thorn
son urged; "a government sensi-

the people; "a firm budget not
subject to the whims of quarter

nous and growing expense of

NAACP Witnesses Refute
Texas Charge Of Illegally

TYLER, Tex. - The National
Association for the Advane e.
ment Of Colored People this week
placed witnesses on the stand to
refute the charge that il is a prof
it making corporation engaged in
illegal activity in the State of
Texas. The witnesses included
national and local officials Of the
association.
Hearings on the charges made
by Texas Attorney General John
Ben Sheppard began in District
Judge Otis t. Dunagan's court
here on Sept. %. A temporary re-
straining order, prohibiting NAA
CP activity in the state, had been
granted by Judge Dunagan on
Sept. 81. The state is now seeking
a permanent injunction against
the NAACP.
In an effort to ban the assoc
.iation, the state submitted nearly
400 exhibits consisting of docu-
mentS obtained from the national
state and local offices of the as
ISOLATION.
The principal charge of the
State of Texas is that the NAACP
is a foreign corporation doing bus
mess in Texas and thus is bound
by Texas laws governing such cor
porationS. Association attorneys
contend there is no legal connec-
ton between the national body
and the uninconporated NAACP
branches in Texas.
Testimony in answer to the
states charges was heard from
Edwin c. Washington Jr., NAACP
field secretary in Texas; Mrs. c.
V. Adair, executive secretary of
the Houston NAACP branch, and
Willie Melton, president of the Fit.
Bend branch.
