On the other hand, Mrs. Scharf
pointed out that "our school con-
struction cost (ranging from
$1150 to $13.75 a square FOOT

the Middle Atlantic States"
The price in other areas, she
said, ranges from $14 to $18 per

mot buying fabulous designs but

She also pointed out that the
present teacher salary schedule
is not attracting career type
professional staff but too many
fringe employees who are in and
out of the school system"
Budget pairing by the school
board itself has already brought
allowances below what is neces.

instruction and school equipment,
Mrs. Scharf maintained.
Mr.. Scull predicted that there
was no end to human wants for
the public education system" and
warned that the county is near

He was disturbed, Mr.. Soul
said, because our credit rating is
already dropping and cited as the
reasons for this, overlapping ii
bond authority, the migratory ma
ture of our population and a gen
eral tightening up in the nationa

A more cheerful outlook was
held by Mr.. Fauver, who said tha-

Merited Commentator

Members Of the IA citizens advisory
committees on District affairs well de-
served the praise which the Commits
sioners gave them in reviewing munic-
ipal problems and accomplishments for
the past fiscal year. The community
generally does not fully appreciate the
Importance OF the services voluntarily
rendered by these public-spirited ad-
visers to the Commissioners, nor realize
the amount Of time and effort they de-
vote to their tasks.
AS the Commissioners emphasized
In their commentator of the commit
tees, the problems referred to the repre-
sentative civic groups were "inevita-
bly, controversial" The subjects ranged
from traffic and public works to urban
renewal and Juvenile delinquency. The
studies and reports we're made by a
cross section OF Washingtons citizenry
and included business and professional
men, civic leaders and representatives
OF various organizations. The whole
community benefits from the self-sacri-
hcing services Of these competent advi-
sorry committees.

Tito and Our Aid

There is little reason for excitement
over President Tito's decision to call a
halt to further military aid from the
United States Actually, although 1t
has involved large-scale shipments in
the past, such aid has amounted to
practically nothing since 1856, and its
formal termination at this stage does
not seem to have any extraordinary
significance.
AS a matter OF fact, the decision
has the virtue of ending a mutual
embarrassment in YugoSlav- American
relations. On the one hand. the Tito
government. which is reported to have
been "irritated" and Inundated" by
our periodic public "reappraiSals" OF its
policies vis-a-vis the Kremlin, will no
longer have to 60 through such a proc
ess In order to get arms from u.s. And
by the same token, In this peculiarly
involved situation, there will be no need
henceforth for the State Department
and the White House-as required by
our law-to make a show OF informing
Congress that aid of this type is justified
on the ground that 1t serves our own
country's interests by helping Belgrade
to remain independent Of Moscow.
Ever since his sensational break
with Stain in 1913. Marshal Tito and
his independence-minded Communist
regime have put on rather impressive
display of being their own masters, not
mere puppets of the Kremlin. Within
recent months, however, they have
tended to agree. more often than not,
with Moscow's foreign policy. Further
than that, although they still appear to
be practicing their own maverick or
heretical brand of Marxism, they are
nonetheleSS Red dictatorship hostile
to individual and group liberty. Accord
ingly, as far as further "reappraisals"
are concerned. Congress at the present
moment would almost certainly be re-
luctant to indorse additional arms
shipments to Belgrade
So Marshal Tito probably has done
good thing in acting as he has-good
in the sense that 1t should have the
effect of eliminating recurrent irritant
from relations between his country and
ours. AS for purely economic aid. he
apparently will continue to get some
from us as long as he remains-as he
still seems to be-basically his own boss
rather than Soviet stooge. Certainly.
to the extent that that is true, our nom
military help to Yugoslavia can be justi-
fed as a sound expression of realistic
foreign policy.
