some of the proposals in their tentative FORM for

carry the threat of Federal control or interference
at the local level but feel certain that the Con

Your School
Project Listed

BurtOnsville - The Burtons-
vile area has grown sufficient
ly to warrant an addition to this
school The addition to this
building should include three
rooms, library, which would be
a classroom size, and general
school storage. An appropriation
in the amount Of S21, 300.
Clarksburg = The projected
enrolment for 1859 for this
school is somewhat beyond ca
pacity. 1t is felt, however, that
with some overcrowding the
present facilities would be suf-
ficient to handle that enroll
ment.
COlesville-JacksOn ROad-The
projected enrolment for this
school exceeds its capacity. A
new school should be construct
ed on Jackson Road. The facili-
ties there should include 10
classrooms, plus two classrooms
for Special Students, a library,
All Purpose Room, office, kitch-
en-, health and teachers rooms,
and general storage. An appro-
priation in the amount of $780,
1893.
DamaScus-The enrolment at
this elementary school is in
creasing with each succeeding
year. 1t is felt that in the very
near future new school will be
needed in the Cedar Grove
Woodfield Area.
Fairland-This school will ex-
perience some overcrowding by
1889. This site needs to be en-
larged.
Gaithersburg - 1t is expected
that this school will be able to
handle the enrolment through
1859.
GermantOwn-This school will
need a small addition to take
care of the 1859 anticipated en-
rollment. The addition should
include four classrooms, one of
which is a kindergarten room,
an All Purpose Room, office,
health room and general stor-
age. An appropriation in the
amount of $193,300.
POOlesville-This elementary
school will be overcrowded by
1859. Because the high school
will not be overcrowded it is
expected that one or two rooms
in the high school building may

Move Upon Wave

- HE population boom that hit Montgomery
County with such force after World War
!, III continues reIentleSsly. We are caught in
exorably in the grip OF an economic climate
that fosters more and more children and we
are located in a particularly dynamic area
as far as employment is concerned due to
the fact that this is the seat of the Federal
Government
# If this is not the hardest hit area as far
as growing pains are concerned, it is GER
tainly among the leaders. Wave upon wave
of children have hit our schools and there
is little hope for relief in the next few years.
Facing up to the fact that there will be
no respite, School Superintendent c. Taylor
Whittier has launched upon five-year $50
million school-buding program And in his
budget message to the school board this week
he delivered himself of some points that are
worth passing on to the people of Montgom-
cry County
1T would seem logical" he pointed out,
that the maximum development of the most
valuable resource in the community, its chill
dren, is good business" If there is anyone
in the county who would care to argue with
Dr. Whittier's logic on this score, let him
step forward and state his case
"The needs of the younger generation
cannot be postponed with the hope of pro-
viding for them at future time" he con-
tinues. Does anyone contest that? Can the
county manager or the county council or the
citizens who are complaining about the tax
load devise some way to halt childs growth
while we slow down our school building pro-
gram because it costs so much money?
How much longer are we going to con-
done halliday sessions, overcrowding in class
rooms and inadequate buildings?
There is always opposition to the school
superintendent's budget request And the
budget of the school board itself This oppo-
sition is rarely stated publicly but it is always
there. Too large a segment of our people are
unwilling to loosen up for decent education
Accordingly, this is reflected in the thinking
OF the county manager, and the elected coun-
ty council. The Whittier budget is undoubt-
edly in for some serious cuts And yet a close
study of the budget will show that the full
amount is needed
1t IS now up to those who do not 90
along with DR.. Whittier's budget to come
forward and state the specifics of why they
do not. Or they should suggest alternative
proposals which would make possible de-
cent level of education in Montgomery Coun-
ty, Chipping away at, the budget on general
principle simply because it is too much
money is pretty poor solution to a rather
acute and growing problem. Let's be con-
structlve about this whole thing. Open, pub
tic discussion of this grave problem is healthy.

DLANS FOR county airport were still be-
ing bounced around this week
PRINCIPALS in the five-ring show were the
Civil Aeronautics Authority, the county
council, the county manager, the county rev.
enue authority, and the county planning
board
The CAA has set up $275,0O0 in match
ing funds for county airport. 1t has warned.
however that unless the county gets started
on something by January /, it'll give the
money to someone else. The responsibility of
DONG something has been in the lap of the
county revenue authority, created last sum-
mer But it became evident that the revenue
autnor1ty was going to do nothing. So last
week the county government agreed to make
an airport survey.
Last Friday, the county planning board
SAID II was willing to conduct such study
IL tne county council would give il some sne-
cial funds. ~
appears the council is inclined to do
inns, particularly after County Manager M
L, Reese said he thought it would be good
luea. 90 Reese is to check with the planning
board on about how much it might need
linen the Council will probably 20 ahead and
iet tne planning board find out: a. whether
we need such an airport, and (2) if we do
need one, where it should be.
Meanwhile, the county revenue autbor-
Ivy wnicn was created to handle such self
hquidatlng projects as airports. parking GA

a on Council
Say They're
Available

Four of the seven county
councilmen would like to run
again in next years elections.
The other three aren't talking
yet.
The available" four are
Council President Wilbur Baugh-
man, Robert T. Snure, Grover
Walker, and Jerry Williams. The
three playing hard to get are
Mrs. Stella Werner, Charles
Jamison and j. Grahame Walk
er.
The informal poll was made
by this newspaper
Mrs. Werner is a once defeat
ed candidate for Congress and
a Democratic power in the coun-
ty. She is a leader of the So
called "anti-organization" fac
ton of the party.
]. Grahame Walker is a for.
mer unsuccessful aspirant for
Congress. Jamison is gaining
stature in Democratic circles.
1t is probable that all three
have their sights on higher pub
lie office if things can be
worked out between now and
the Democratic primary next
May 20. Everything from Gov
ernor and United States sena-
tor down to dogcatcher, practi-
cally, will be at stake in next
years elections.
Presumably the other four
who have stated their available
ity for the county council, are
reconciled to sticking with what
they've got.

crises. The Library must now have great deal
more space
Additional book stacks, of course are not the
only requirement Work space for the Library
staff now is scattered about in areas originally
designed for faculty offices, seminars or class
rooms. Graduate students who use the Library
constantly, are forced to work under conditions
which are, to say the least undesirable Facilities
for the use of microfilm, mcrocard and other of
the newer library devices almost nonexistent.
And of course the shelves themselves are so crowd
ed that in some cases books which should be read
lily accessible are virtually buried.
THE PHYSICS BUILDING
Rowland Hall, which now houses the Physics
Department of the University, was constructed in
1929. At that time the faculty of the Physics De-
partment numbered and there were 26 graduate
students. Today the faculty of the department
numbers Ia and the number of graduate students
has grown to 107. This increase in personnel,
however, accounts. for only small part of the
urgency of the need for new physics building
The science itself has moved forward in tremen-
dous leaps, especially since World War H. which
has been aptly called the physicists war
THE tools, instruments and machines re-
quired today for physical research impose space
demands vastly in excess of those which prevailed
at the time Rowland Hall was built Modern phys
les laboratories must be designed specifically to
meet these new requirements 1t is almost impos-
sible, for example to house within the rigid walls
OF an older building the heavy machines of the
nuclear physicist which require, in many cases
equally heavy shielding. Flexible partitioning and
readily accessible and abundant connections for
power compressed air, water and other utilities"
are features of modern laboratory planning which
add both to efficiency and economy of operation
Plans for the new physics building viii take ac-
count of these requirements and will attempt to
forecast as accurately possible the probable
needs of the future

PotOmac-Some overcroWding
will be experienced at this school
by 1859. With the use of the
All Purpose Room, double ses-
sions may be avoided. Any adj
dition to this school should be
deferred until at least four new
rooms are needed.

by the maintenance department.

Damascus High-The addition
to this school should be ready
for occupancy early in 1858. 1t
should be adequate to handle its
enrolment through 1860.
Gaithersburg-Plans for the
new junior high school should
be underway shortly. 1t is hoped
that the new building will be
ready for occupancy in Septem-
Der, 1859. In the meantime
Gaithersburg High will be
greatly overcrowded. 1t is
planned that the new Junior
high school will open with only
the, 7th and 9Th grades, leaving
grades 8 to II in the present
building.
POOlesville - The addition to
the Poolesville High School
should be completed early in
1858. The available space in
this school may be used on a
temporary basis to help with
some of the overcrowding at
Poolesville elementary school.
Rockville - The addition to
Richard Montgomery High
School should be made ready by
September, 1859.
The new West Rockville Jun.
ior High School, located on a
site yet to be purchased, should
include the following facilities:
II academic classrooms, 2 mu-
sic rooms, 2 art rooms, 2 home
arts rooms, 3 shop rooms, and
a gymnasium with auxiliary
teaching rooms which could be
used temporarily for regular
class use. The total teaching
stations would be 80. In add.
ton, there should be offices,
cafeteria, library and audio-vis.

including the cost of the land is
asked in the amount of $685.

Sherwood High-The enroll
ment of this school is growing
very rapidly, and it will receive
no relief until the proposed
Springbrook High School is con-
structed.
An appropriation for addition
al classrooms and gymnasium
for this school has already been
received. An additional item,
however, should be included
this year.
A correction should be made
in the cafeteria and kitchen ia

Funds Plea Issued
BY Johns Hopkins

The Johns Hopkins Institutions have an.
nounced the need for $76,380,000 in the next ten
years for the University and Hospital if they are
to maintain their positions of leadership in the
fields of education, medical training and research
and hospital services"
The announcement was made Tuesday by
Charles S. Garland chairman of the Johns Hop
kns Fund, for the Boards of Trustees of The
Hospital and The University
Four projects have been given top priority
according to Garland They are: % construction
of Children's Medical Center at the Hospital;
t2) increased operating funds for the university
including higher faculty salaries; 90 new Uni

AS an immediate objective in its University
wide long-range development program, Johns Hop
kins has urgent need for $1810OOO annually of
additional operating funds" an announcement
said
"A relatively small fraction of this total is re-
quired to meet the costs of maintaining the new
buildings for which capital funds are being sought
The rest of the money approximately 80 per
cent-will be allocated Specifically to faculty sal
aries" it continued s@

available Immediately it would do no more than
raise salary levels to those appropriate to a pro-
fession which, by training and intellectual com
petence, is entitled to the same remuneration as
other professions.

The present main library housed in Gilman
Hall was designed and constructed when the Uni
versity possessed fewer than 100000 volumes
Presently the University owns well over one mil
lion volumes, approximately 100000 of which are
in Gilman Hail. By various expedients in recent
