Bob Kemp of Clarendon
Lodge in the Masonic League
is the new duckpin leader in
the Bowlers Victory Legion
tournament as the event moves
into its final week. Kemp, with
games of 1856. l43 and 160,
totaled 439 and tackled on a So
handicap for 500. The 439 was
one of only two "400s" rolled in
the Masonic League this sea-
son, the other being AL by Carl
Baudu of the S0journers. The
160 tied for high game.
Kemp's was an odd perform
ance. He got more strikes than
spares, nine to eight. Four Of
the strikes came in doubles.
He'll enter the BVL again this
week as a member Of the L. p.
Stuart team in the Almas
Temple League.
A. L. Ebersole, BVL director,
is urging all bowling managers
and their aides and all league
officials to bear down this week
in selling the tournament. A
strong finish would result in a
whale of an entry.
At last accounts, Silver Spring
was setting the pace with more

are traditional bowling rivals.
The priests pull no punches

nailed the second when Father
Daley, starting with a double

Whittier Budget t

I is going to come as a shock to lot Of
Montgomery Countians that they will
have to help foot an educational bill next
fiscal year of between 45 and so million
dollars.
There never was budget that big that
didn't have some fat in it somewhere. And
we earnestly hope the school board will find
it and cut it off. At the same time, it must
be admitted that such fat is not easy to find.
Is 1T, for example, the item which seeks
to convert Carver High School into a Rock
vile branch campus for the county's junior
college! Hardly! Who is to quarrel with the
estimate that in five years the present Jun
ior College enrolment will more than
double? If past Tin Montgomery County, is
prologue, the predicted enrolment will un-
doubtedly materialiZc. So the adjunct to
present limited Junior College facilities is
absolutely necessary. And there is no
cheaper way to do it than to use an existing
building.
What about the requested SIS million
for board of education headquarters? Is
that fat? Some of it might well be and this
Item should get closer scrutiny than others
IN the budget. But the undeniable fact is
that the Montgomery County school system
will soon be spending $50 million year and
it already administers 108 school plants with
about $4,000 some occupants each day of
the week. If this is not behemoth opera
tion which deserves a substantial headquar.
tiers setup there is no logic left. If you want
some convincing evidence on the need for a
new headquarters building, visit the present
one and see for yourself. The only thing they
haven't done is put desks on top of each
other and tell the user of the top desk to sit
on step ladder all day while he works.
Perhaps a frugal-minded budget cutter
could seize upon the requested 81, 1,954,650 for
a new West Rockville Junior High. Last
year the school board wanted to spend only
100000 to convert Carver Junior High 50

Whipping Boy Role
OF Press Examined
On the Square.

Newspapers deal in negatives. Their practice
OF devotng the major portion Of their prime and
best space to publication of murder, rape, theft
expose, and other forms of negative news indicates
strong preference for the negative side of life
instead of the positive"
These comments and others of similar
nature were made recently to this column i'm
what was intended to be an intellectual dis
cussion Of newspapers generally.
And since the charges have more than ele-
ments of truth particularly as they apply to
some large metropolitan dailies - it may be per-
tinent to examine at this time the fibre of an
operation which, in the twentieth century has tied
a world into vast and cumbersome community
Such an examination, necessarily must begin
with this premise: newspaper is a commercial,
enterprise. successful enterprise, one that can
exist in highly competitive era, is required to
"give the customer what he wants" 1t follows,
therefore that if the negative side of the news
sells more newspapers than the less sensational
to give more emphasis to negatives than to posi-.
tives
This would seem to more than indicate that
the trouble could lie not with the newspapers
- but with those who buy and read them 1t is
a proven fact that the majority of newspaper
readers will glue themselves to a story Of murder,
rape expose to the last lurid detail and return
for more. 1t is more than doubtful if the same
majority will read Beyond the headline and first
paragraph of a news story reporting in equal
detail an event which will change the course of

600 which is substantial amount of money.
If it is the intent of the county govern
ment to purchase the 80,61S square foot tract
primarily for the convenience of members
of the public as they transact business with
their county government, buying of the lot
is probably a good thing. If, on the other
hand, the primary reason for this $262,000
expenditure of public funds is TO provide re-
served parking for the convenience of few
county government employees it is probably
not good thing. Taxpayers arriving at the
County Office Building to transact business
are not going to react too kindly when they
see big signs posted ordering them to keep
off.
We have a great deal of respect for the
loyal crew Of county employees most of
them underpaid - but we have little SYM
pathy with the philosophy that because they
are public employees that they entitled to

COP Must Face Up
To Future Needs
An Opinion

The Montgomery County Republican State

TO discuss the state Of party affairs and to make
plans for the future.
There is question about the fact that the
local Republicans suffered sizablc defeat. How
ever there is reason for the leaders TO feel
that all is black as far as the future is concerned
When the leaders get together they can
either beat each other over the head for the
failures of the campaign, or they
up with positive program for future action.
The Republican campaign was not one you
could hold up as shining example Of expert
organization or execution. 1t was not, however,
bad some Republican leaders would have you
believe.
II is very easy to sit around now and say what
was done that should not have been done and
what was not done that should have been done.
1t takes bit more political acumen to come up
with some constructive thinking and a program
Of Republican organization that might prove more
effective In future elections
First Of all, there is possibility that the
Republicans in Montgomery County could be in
a position TO be the nucleus around which many
conservative Democrats could rally two and four
years hence
There are definite signs In the air that the

The question then comes of the responsible.
ties of newspaper in attempting to guide and
educate. In this connection, it must be said few
commercial enterprises are wealthy enough to sit
out the tastes and preferences of the general
public.
The editorial page of any newspaper is its
heart - the spot where it carries on its civic
responsibilities - the place where ii crusades for
better government and better people - the one
point where 1t may bury commercalism and be-
come an instrument Of influence and mold for

There is only one conclusion to be reached in
the discussion of negative and positive approaches
to reporting the news by the American press.
Until the majority Of people become more interest.

is little doubt that newspapers will retreat from
commercialism.
1t can be said, therefore, that the present EN-.

in newspapering, in essence, is direct slap at
the intelligence quotient Of ma ority of readers.

Should We Abandon
Hope for Suburbia?
Viewpoints

Everybody seems unhappy over suburba but
the people in it.
Take the worldfamed planner from Greece
who came to town the other day and was inter
viewed by the big city press He's very unhappy
about suburbia
The poor, miserable souls way out in the
suburbs he said, are living in "nomadic settle
ments." Suburbs, he went on to say, are "just
flung on the earth" They are not he told his
eager interviewer, related to anything"
The speaker was Constantine Doxiadis,
head of planning organization in Greece
with over 400 employees (the story in the big
city paper declared.
The Washington suburbs are mot solving any
thing only running nerves and creating frustra-
tions," he said weightily. I'VE promptly shudder-
ed at the thought of all those frustrated nervous
people in the Montgomery County suburbs)
Mr.. Doxiads is not only expert the
nine countries in which his firm operates but on
the subject of the suburbs of Washington as WE'LL

the four walls of his suburban house which as

public square.
