"a nice payday at New York for
the Yankees opener. Then comes
the test. They'll be at the ORR

It will be a visit series, that
four-game set with Baltimore,
for the Yankees follow the
Orioles to town for two games.
II the Senators are AZ at that
point interest in their activities
will be heightened. The curious
among the reluctant fans will be
tempted to take peek.
But don't lose sight of the
other extreme, the prospect that
the Senators may get of to
something like a is start. II
that's the case, If they're strug-
Cling from the start to remain
close to the leaders. their season
from a home attendance stand
point-may be over.
II the Senators should get hot
at the start. they hardly will
have a chance to capitalize on
it. They'll be taking off April
rs for an 18-game road trip
Success on that journey, or at
least enough victories to stick
within shouting distance of the
top. will be a necessity.
Hanging with the leaders for
a month could serve as a stimu-
liant for attendance. It's the i'm
preston here that potential fans
are aching for an excuse to
emerge from their igloos of in
difference. The chill will vanish
II the Senators sizzle. even
briefly.
It's a narrowing thought, one
that evokes shudders among the
Senators small core of faithful
rooters. that the team will pick
up where it left of last season
They wound up losing Is of their
last IA games. 81 of their last Is.
Any similarity to that stag
gering finish, at the start of
the new season would doom the
Senators. They're at the cross
road and the first month of the.
season is likely to determine
whether they'll veer toward ex-
as a Washington team

Rockville Council
Orders Probe of
Paving Projects

An investigation of street,
sidewalk, walkway and play
ground paving projects dating
back to 1948 was ordered by the
Rockville Mayor and Council last
night.
City Manager MARYLAND re-
ported that four recently in
stalled asphalt walkways we're
more than an inch thinner than
called for in some places.
The city has refused to pay a
$685. bill from the contractor
pending the investigation.
City Engineer Joseph c. Rod
gers told the Mayor and Council
that most of the 600 square
yards of walkway is between
three and threse and a half
inches thick instead of the four
inches called for in the contract.
Some is less than three inches
thick. he said.
Tests show that two play
grounds included in the same
contract exceed the four-inch
requirement, Mr.. MARYLAND said
Council member John E. OK
ley urged that a private engi-
neering firm be hired to conduct
the investigation.

Delegate Harrison Mann Of

Legislation authorizing the Uni

Mr.. Mann is opposed to the
Herndon site on grounds it is
too far from the populous areas
to adequately serve the four jul

Mr.. Mann and State Senator
John A. K. donovan of Fairfax
County recommended the indie

Change Asked
In Election of
School Bourd
nv a star STAFF Correspondent


ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 9. - The
Montgomery County delegation
today is considering an alternate
staggered school board term pro-
posal that would call for election
of all seven board members in
1858.
Delegation Chairman Blair
Lee Ill said complaints had
been received about the terms of
the bill approved for drafting by
the delegation last week.
That bill would provide for
election of the two at-large
members and the members on
the first and third council dis
tricts in 1858. with members
from the second. fourth and fifth
district holding over until the
1860 election. This would per-
nit Board President Helen
Scharf. Mrs. Rose C. Kramer and
Willard G. McGraw to serve two
extra years after their present
terms expire in 1858.
The alternate proposal now
being considered would provide
that three of the members
elected in 1858 would serve only
two-year terms with the re-
manning four being elected to
regular four-year terms.
Mr.. Lee said the public reac-
ton was not against the idea of
staggered terms, which is aimed
at assuring that complete and
inexperienced board cannot be
elected all at once.

officials will recommend installa-
ton of a system with lights or
buzzers in classrooms to notify
teachers when the central Office
wants to establish communica-
tons. Then, to turn on the
speaker in classroom, the
teacher would have to flip
switch or push a button.
The new specifications are, in
effect, a victory for the PTA
minority which opposed a COM
munications network that would
allow monitoring.
Unannounced MOnitoring
In about 10 other county ele-
mentary schools where such
other systems have been in
stalled. teachers and principals
have agreed that unannounced
monitoring will be unethical.
The Wheaton Woods contro-
versy was aired at yesterdays
Board of Education meeting in
Rockville. A letter to the board
protesting the first intercom-
munication system proposed at
Wheaton Woods did not, as
stated in The Star yesterday,
come from the schools PTA.
The opposition letter mailed to
the board states the views Of
the schools board of trustees.
who unanimously supported the
PTA minority last year.

The recommendation for q
record-breaking 1894 million
school budget in Montgomery
County is the forerunner of a
bitter budget clash.
The recommendation, made
yesterday by Supt. Forbes H
Norris. if approved by the school
board at any figure approaching
that amount, appears, to be in
for a rough pounding when it
reaches County Manager M. l.
Reese.
Mr.. Reese last month in a Spe-
cial memorandum to all depart
ment heads gave the signal for
a tight and virtually hold the
line budget"
The county manager warned
that the county could anticipate
no big increases in the assessable
base as record-breaking con-
struction and reassessment pol
icies produced in former years
The manager emphasized that
he did not believe the county
could budget funds for anything
more than minimum standards
for satisfying minimum needs
during a period of ever-increas-
ing demands and of program ex-
pansion.
That is the situation as the
school board tonight begins con-
sideration of the Norris recon-
mendations.

Alexandria Pushes Drive
For Junior Co|Ieqe Site

The Alexandria City Council
has taken the lead in a move by
nearby Virginia Jurisdictions to
bypass the University Of Virginia
Board of Visitors in selection OF
a site for a junior college.
The council last night agreed
to join with Arlington and Fair
fax Counties and Falls Church
in setting up a board Of control
which could acquire a site for
the Northern Virginia institu-
ton. The other three jurisdic-
tons will be asked soon to ap-
prove a similar resolution.
The action followed a decision
last month by the university's
board of visitors to reconsider
in March whether to establish q
two-year branch college in the
Northern Virginia area in view
of a controversy over site.
The councils action obviously
was aimed at acquiring 75-
acre tract on the Ravensworth
Estate near Springfield. This
location has been approved by
the Northern Virginia University

four nearby Jurisdictions.

A PRETTY, SOFT TOUCH
Clash on School, Budget
Expected Montgomery

and a $i23 million budget for
capital improvements.
Even as the ink was drying on
the superintendent recommen-
dationS yesterday county officials
were viewing with alarm" the
cost to the taxpayer of the pro-
posed budget.
Estimates on the increase in
the take rate ranged from a low
of 81 cents to a high of 38 cents.
The present school tax rate is
Sl.29 per 500 of assessed valu-
alton.
The total general county tax
rate is S203 but other special as
raise this to between
$3.50 and $40 for most of the
suburban area.
The Norris budget represents a
PA per cent. increase in ouerst-
ing expenses over that appropri-
ated this year and 35.8 per cent
increase in capital spending.
Higher Than Expected"
In presenting his budget to
the board yesterday. DR.. Norris
conceded it was higher than ]
expected"
"On the whole" he said. he
considered it reasonable"
DR.. Norris said that II would
not say everything in here is
absolutely necessary. But I think
it represents the needs of this
country and what the residents
would want
Dr.. Norris said that if he in
sisted on keeping the pupil cost
n the present rate the budget
you'd have iumped SIS million
ebove this years s16.6 million.
This is attributed to the normal
growth of the school population.
But his recommendations pro-
vide for an additional SO mil
lion in excess of the minimum
increase ne contended was un-
avoidable.
According to the Norris eSti-
mates the average per pupil cost
would be $334.63.
A school official yesterday said
the present average per pupil
cost is about $3.50.
The budget would add some
500 employees to the school Sys-
tenn.
