Martin Quiz on
Bank Rate Leak
Texon Says Rumors
Cove Bond Dealers
Chance to CIeun Up

CHICAGO, Mar. 8 @.--
Representative Wright Patman
Democrat Of Texas, said today
he will insist that the chairman
Of the Federal Reserve Board
appear before the House Bank
ing and Currency COMMITTEES
ito explain why there was a
leak" on q discount rate reduc-
ton announced Thursday.
The board chairman is Will
lam McChesney Martin, jr. Mr..
Patman. q member Of the COM
mittee headed by Representa-
tive Brent Spence, Democrat of
Kentucky, told the Associated
Press strong rumors about a
rate reduction flooded Wall
Street in New York before the
boards actual announcement.
He said this allowed dealers in
Government securities to really
clean up q pr0f1t.
A spokesman for the Federal
Reserve Board in Washington
said there would be no COM
ment now.
Effective Yesterday
The board approved a reduc-
ton in the discount rate from
ga to 2A per cent effective
yesterday at New York, Phila-
delphia and Chicago Federal
Reserve Banks. The discount
rate is the interest charge that
member banks pay to borrow
from the Federal Reserve
System.
In announcing board APP
proval, a spokesman said the
reduction was approved Ito
make credit conditions still
more favorable" to economic
recovery.
Mr.. Patman, third ranking
member Of the committee, said
he will insist that MIR. Martin
appear before the group Tues
day. Mr.. Patman suggested
other Federal Reserve Board
members might be asked to APP
pear to determine the leak.
In New York Representa-
tive Abraham j. Multer, Demo-
crat of New York, also called
for an inquiry by the commit
tee into reports that the re-
duction had been leaked to
privileged persons.
Mr.. Multer, a member of the
committee, said he will take
the issue to the floor Of Con-
gress if the group fails to act.
Public business should not
be leaked to insiders so they
can profit by it." asserted Mr..
Patman.
THE leak on reduced dis
count rates was a very unfair
advantage to New York deal
ers. who both buy and sell
through the Federal Reserve
System. Some dealers must
have really cleaned up a profit.
The leak was reflected on the
New York market.
Would Correct Weakness
IF there is a weakness that
allows such leaks of board an
nouncementS. the committee
wants to correct it,"
Mr.. Patman said the COM
mittee has been considering
re-enactment of the Federal
Reserve Act and National
Banking Act.
Thursdays cut in the Federal
reserve rate has a tendency
to reduce interest rates gen.
orally. It was the second cut
in the discount rate this year
and the third since November,
when the recession became ap-
parent.
Mr.. Patman, who also is
chairman of the Small Business
Committee and Joint Economic
Committee. planned to return
to WASHINGTON later today.

Vote Delayed
By Council

A vote on controversial regu.

tension towers in Montgomery
County was put off Tuesday by
the County Council.
The council directed its clerk
to put the item first on the coun-

council members decided they
could not vote on 1t at this weeks
meeting.
Discussion of the vote came
shortly before the council was
to adjourn to go to Damascus

dates for office for lunch.
Councilman Charles H. Jami-
son is a real estate appraiser for
Potomac Electric Power Co. and
has been editorially criticized for

couldn't be there. do 1t for my
sake, your sake and all our

tiously.
He had important business to

This permits them to say
there isn't room for any Negro

In view of this situation, Lee
said, the NAACP has labeled as
"anti-integration" any candidate
who stated merely that he favors
continuation of the present board
policy.
In its formal statement, the
group calls for a target date of
September, 1859; recognition of
the fact that school overcrowd-
ing is being used as an artificial
ban" to integration; and employ
ment of teachers and other per-
sonnel on a non-discriminatory
basis.
The QUESTIONABLE submitted to
the candidates asked whether
they favor these measures. The
NAACP then rated the contend
erS on the basis of their answers
and past records. Here is the box
score:
"Pro-integration": William r.
Thomas III, DR.. Richard K. Cook,
Mrs. Kramer, Paul c. Howard

NAACP Bases
It's Stand On
Poll Results
By Bob Bernstein
staff Reporter

A majority of candidates
for the Board of Education
have been labeled as anti-in-
tegratlon by the Montgomery
County branch OF NAACP.
The civilizations were based on
a questionable sent to all candi-
dates and, in the case of board
lncumbents, on past votes and
statements.
A report on the survey was
issued yesterday by Alphonzo
Lee, president of the county
branch.
At opposite poles of the
ratings were two incum-
bents: Mrs. Rose C. Kramer,
who was described as the
"staunchest supporter of in
tegratiOn," and Harrison C.
King, who was flatly branded
SeSregatIOnlSt."
Nine others were labeled as
"anti-integration" or as having
"anti-integration leanings."
The issue has not been an &C.
tive one in the election campaign,
since all candidates have made
formal statements supporting the
present board policy of gradual
integration and pledging adher-
ence to Supreme Court rulings.
Approximately 43 percent of
the county's more than 5000
Negro children now attend inte-
grated schools - a higher pro-
portion than in any other county
of the state.
However, it is the contention
of the NAACP that the program
is moving too slowly, and that
in fact complete integration could
never be achieved under the
present policy.
I'm the upper county," said
Lee, 'the schools are placing

Study Due
By Experts

The Board of Education
Monday decided to call in an
emergency panel of experts to
help them out of their guam
dry over the purchase of class
room televiSion sets.
At the conclusion Of 21a hour
session, the board rejected all pre-
vious bids to clear the way for a
rewriting of specifications.
Their action came after William
E. Yost, Jr., Bethesda electronics
engineer who said he is interested
in the matter as a taxpayer, chat
lenged the original specifications.
In particular, Yost questioned
the need for 24-inch picture tube
rather than 21-inch, and for hori-
Zont6l rather than vertical chassis
construction.
Both of these are features of a
set manufactured by TRANSMISSION,
Inc, of New Rochelle, N. Y, which
the board earlier agreed to buy at
a price of 1919 each.
Fourteen of the TRANSMISSION
sets were installed i'm class
rooms before the board de-
cided to call for competitive
bids.
Another 45 sets were rented
from TransVision-a no charge If
they are eventually replaced by
that firms sets, but at charge of
about $3.50 per month each if
the final purchase is made else
where.
AT this weeks meeting, the
board inspected the TRANSMISSION
model and a competing set manu-
factured by Magnavox and offered
at $255.45.
Superintendent C. Taylor Whit
tier recommended the TRANSMISSION
model, on the grounds it is the
only one which fully meets speci-
fications set down by the Greater
Washington Educational Tele-
vision Association.
These were the specifications
included in the boards bid invi-
tation.
However, board m m ber
Wylie w. Barrow continued
to ask why some other sys-
TENS have gotten by with 81
inch sets costing as little as
-$13O each.
According to Whittier and his
audio-visual aids supervisor, Mrs.
Louise Walker, the G WI EFT A
standards say that two -21 inch
sets must be used where one "a.
inch set would suffice.
These and other questions are
to be investigated by a special
committee of "electronic special.
lists" to be named by Whittier
and approved at next weeks board
meeting.
The motion to reject earlier bids
and appoint the special committee
was made by Barrow.
Two board m m bers voted
against: Mrs. Helen Scharf and
Wayne Birdsell, who approved of
the study committee but thought
rejection of earlier bids was un-
fair to the bidders.
Mrs. Rose Kramer abstained,
contending that educational tele-
vision experts should also be in
cluded on the study committee.
Whittier said as many as 100
sets may be needed ultimately.
The board plans to pay one-third
Montgomery County sentinel., 1958-10-23

were strongly in favor of the lat
ter site, whereas members of the
Gaithersburg Library Advisory
Board were for the Brooks-Park
site. The Montgomery County Ii
brary Board originally proposed
the high school site.
The land accepted belongs TO
the Asbury Methodist Home for
the Aged (29,440 square feet for
100000 and James M. Seybolt
(36,880 square feet for SIG, ,400).
