Hit at Hearing

The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Cap

ment Of Cabin John Valley was
attacked by Attorney James r.
Miller at a public hearing last
night In Bethesda.
The plan was backed by NAL
colin H. Dill. director of the
Baltimore County once of Plan
ming who called the site ideal.
Speaking for DR.. John H. Solo,
man. who owns a tract of land
recommended as a regional
shopping center, Mr.. Dill said it
is easy to underemphasize long
range planning.
Mr.. Miller. representing bust

was the strongest opponent. He
said the proposed regional cen
ter would hurt businessmen in
nearby Bethesda and Rockville.
He urged that the center be put
in a place where it won't COM
pete with people supporting the
county"
Mr.. Miller also said a tract Of
land at Tuckerman lane and
new Route 240 which has been
recommended for use as a park
is too expensive. He suggested
purchasing land elsewhere. per-
haps. he said. a tract further
south, owned by WAIAL.
Dermot Nee. an area store
owner. also spoke against the
project. Representing the Rock
vile Pike Businessmen's Associa-
ton, he said that group is OPP
posed to the plan at present be-
cause it is very large and I'M
derdeveloped.
Previously, the plan had been
attacked by a group of county
businessmen headed by Carl M.
Freeman. an area builder, and by
various individuals, including
Fred c. Tuemmler. Hyattsville

Tuemmler represented a prop
ierty owner in the area.

addition to the school and merg-
ing it with the Lincoln Junior
High School.
Alphonzo Lee, president Of the
county chapter of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People. asked the
board to take a new look at its
indignation program. He said
the school system is still trans
porting hundreds of children
from the up-county area to all
Negro schools in the Rockville
area. He said spending for new
buses could be reduced if up-
county schools were properly in
tegrated. Thirty-one buses are
now being used to transport Ne
gro pupils to all-Neero schools,
he said.

spend $11.3 million for 10 ele-
mentary school projects and IL
high school projects.
However, they disputed in
many cases the school enroll
ment forecast on which the build
ing program is based, warning
that the country's unusual fer
tility rate" was producing school
children faster than classrooms
were being built.
One of the strongest criticisms
came from Russell Stone. chair
man of the legislative committee
of the Belt Junior High School
PTA, who condemned what he
said was the boards failure TO
provide new junior high space
in the rapidly growing Whea-
ton-KenSington area.
He said the Belt School has
an enrolment of 1900 in the
seevnth and eighth grades. and
will add ninth grade classes next
September.
Forecast Challenged
Meanwhile, the board is PLAN
ming to increase by 1850 the
pupil capacity Of elementary
schools feeding Belt without pro-
viding additional room for the
junior high school.
The PTA spokesman chal-
lenged the boards enrolment
forecast on the grounds 1t was
compiled in October and already
has been outdated by the rapid
pace Of building in many parts
of the county.
The strongest suggestions for
cuts in the budget came from
the Allied Civic Group whose
spokesman. Clarke Fauver
noted that spending has risen
at a much more rapid rate than
enrolment growth.
While enrolment will have
risen 90 per cent from Septem-
Der, 1855. to September. 1851
administration costs will have
Jumped IS per cent and total
spending for noninstructional
purposes will have jumped 81
per cent. he said.
Stresses Reading, Writing
He told the board his organ
ization would prefer to see
spending for teachers in the
basic skills such as remedial
reading and handwriting in
struction given priority over re-
quests for additional teachers in
art and music.
Paul c. Howard, president OF
the County Council of PTAs
while supporting the boards
budget. criticized the tendency
to build giant elementary schools
and lamented the slicing from
the budget of proposed audi
forums at Bethesda . Chevy
