Somebody had the bright
idea of writing a movie script
around the Washington, d. c.,
international, John D. Scha-
piro was telling the Washing
ton Advertising Club yester-
day, but threw it in the waste
paper basket because its brief
history sounded too improb-
able, even for the movies.
From the start, explained
the president of Laurel Race
Course, where the ~ miles
grass classic will have its sixth
running Monday, the Inter-
national has been the worlds
most expensive race. While
penny wise old-timers clucked
disapprovingly, Schapirp de-
cided it would be good bust

While Murphy would not re-

learned from other sources that
his bid is in excess Of the $500
a share which was bid more
than a year ago. With 19,40O
shares outstanding. a 5000 bid
would place a value of $780,

Tight Money
C|oudsCounty
School Plans

Tight money" loomed today
as the major threat to a pro-
posed record-breaking spending
program for schools in Mont
gomery County for the fiscal
year 1957-58.
Concern over the rising cost of
bond issues last night sent the
County Council and Board of
Education into a two-hour
secret session in Rockville.
Leaders of both bodies de-
clined to reveal details of the
discussion, which apparently
conferred around the recon-
mendations of School Supt.
Forbes H. Norris for a 1894 mil
lion budget. of which $l2.3 mil
lion would be used for construc-
ton and financed by bond issues.
Council President Charlie s
Jamison insisted after the ses-
sion that the council had pre-
sented no specific proposals for
reducing spending for schools.
He conceded, however, that
the cost of borrowing played an
important part during the talks.
Reese Cites Costs
During the session, it was
learned. County Manager M. L.
Reese reported that the county
was faced with interest charges
of 4 per cent or more for its
next big bond issue. He noted
that the borrowing of Sc million
will cost $40 million in taxes over
the life of the bond issue.
In the last seven years the
county has spent $40 million of
funds for new school
with most Of this
amount financed by bond issues.
The highest interest rate on
these issues has been 2.87 per
cent.
Lathrop Smith. president of
the board of education said the
session was requested by the
He added that no COM
mitments were made behind the
closed doors.
The meeting came four days
in advance of the deadline for
submission by the board of edu-
cation of a capital budget to the
county manager.
To date. the board has tenta-
lively agreed to reduce DR.. Nor
ris' proposals OF $12.3 million by
81 million by looping of audi
forum projects at Bethesda
Chevy Chase High School and at
Gaithersburg Junior High School
Agreement on 10
Following the closed door ses-
sion last night. the school board
reviewed the school building
proposals and agreed on only 10
Of the % projects.
A decision on whether to ap-
prove the other 10 will be made
at an all-day meeting tomor-
row. Opposition to one big prof.
ect. an addition to the North
wood Junior-Senior High School,
was voiced by board member
Wylie Barrow. who said the
1865. 500 project can be deferred
for another year.
The board. which on Wednes-
day night heard demands from
PTAs for an even higher school
building program, last night was
told by a member of it's staff
that the predicted $500 rise in
enrolment next year was a firm
figure despite challenges by PTA
and civic groups.
Lester WEIGH, director oil

tenn. said that combined predic.
tons of school principals total:

CGA1t. 4IiC1C Was SpCCuldJlUIl dL
cation laws that could cut of
State funds to integrated
schools were keeping bidders
away and increasing the inter-
est.
Mark A. Smith, a member of
the Richmond bond brokerage
firm of F. w. Craigie g. Co., said
at meeting Of the Federation
of Citizens Associations that by
increasing assessed property
values the county could put it
self in a better financial posi-
ton.
Fairfax County now assesses
real estate for tax purposes at
approximately SO per cent of
market value. Mr.. Smith said
that by doubling the percentage
it would mean that the county
could show prospective bond
buyers a tax base double the
present figure of some $500
million.
This could be done without
any increased burden on tax
payers by cutting the tax rate to
half the present $500 figure. he
said.
Has SAG Million Debt
Fairfax Countv'S bonded in.
debtedness of SAC million now is
around IL per cent of it's tax
able property values. BY doubl-
ing the assessment 1t would auto
matically reduce the bonded in
debtedneSs to 6 per cent and
present a better financial picture
to bond buyers and those who
establish credit ratings, Mr..
Smith said.
The county's credit rating
BAA-- is the lowest acceptable
to commercial banks which are
large buyers of municipal bonds,
said another member of the
panel, Frank E. Morris, research
director of the Investment
Bankers Association of America.
The two speakers laid part of
Fairfax County's low rating to
the county's phenomenal growth.
The speakers differed on how
much effect the new State laws
to preserve segregation had on
the situation.
Mr.. Smith said the State law
which permits the Governor to
withhold funds from an inte-
grated school system cost the
county $375,00O in interest pay
ments over the life of the issue.
He said at least per cent of
the interest could be attributed
to the State law.
Bad Conditions Widespread
Mr.. Morris said the bulk of the
high rate was due to general bad
market conditions over the coun-
try.
He said less than one-half of
one per cent could be attributed
to other factors, primarily the
indignation issue.
Mr. Smiths firm has asked
Gov. Stanley to call a special
session of the General Assem-
bly, to clarity" the financial
situation in Virginia.
Hills Lory. chairman of the
county school board, and a
member of the panel. said the
School Board is considering hir-
ing a financial expert to advise
it on bond issues. He said the
matter would be taken up at a
meeting tonight.
Mr.. Lory also said that bond
buyers are confused about what
is going on in Virginia. He
quoted a New York bank official
as saying that Fairfax County
would not have gotten even the
one bid on its last bond sale
if Fairfax delegation had not
talked to prospective buyers.
Bankers Suggestions

York bank officials with whom
he conferred Wednesday indi-
Gated the county could do better
