Mrs. Scharf like Mrs. Kramer)

your editorial might at least have
suggested that the vote-splitting

integration undertoneS led to this proposal
being killed. So now the opponents of the
earlier plan can get ready to pay for their
beliefs.
The schools must lay broad base for
system that will, by 1864, have an anticipated
enrolment of almost 100000 pupils. Can the
economy-minded refute that expectation? If
they can, let them come forward because
that is what the experts say is going to
happen and - if it's true we're going to
have to pay and pay to get ready for such
tremendous growth.
Meanwhile, as is brought out in news
story elsewhere in this issue, the construction
budget now put forward by Dr. Whittier is a
sensitive barometer on the subject of racial
integration in our schools. And it is perfect
ly apparent from the Whittier budget that
he believes firmly in the gradual integra-
tIon approach the county has followed with
such notable success so far. There is reason
to believe, on the basis of this budget, that
integration will be 100 percent effective in
1861 and this is something of which all coun-
ty residents can well be proud. In a brief
seven years - the Supreme Court ruling was
handed down in 1854 - the county will have
eliminated century-old segregation parctices.
The extremists should not demand more.

the next school board election is held, four
members elected to four-year terms) will
remain on the board. Only three seats will
be at stake. This will provide needed con-
tinuity and tend to minimize the lame duck
problem. Then in succeeding elections we
will have the staggered system of electing
schools heads and old hands will be at the
helm at all times. The lame duck worriers
should look elsewhere for something more
serious to worry about.

Liberal Victory

Letters in the last issue of the
Sentinel minimize the election of
a liberal Board of Education by
measuring the total number of
votes for the conservative candi.
dates against the votes of the
liberal candidates against whom
the conservatives ran.
This reasoning overlooks an
important factor. While your let

were the liberal and who were

DismoI Deed

A CTION of the County Council Tuesday
~ in killing proposed laws regulating erec-
uon OF overhead electric power lines was one
of the most dismal performances ever turned
in by county governing body. 1t should
serve as small satisfaction to lame ducks
Charles H. Jamison Wilbur N. Baughman
and Robert H. Snure that they conclude their
public service on such a sorry note. By the
same token, Councilman Grover K. Walker
who helped ak the needed law has done little
to bolster public confidence during the next
four years in his ability to side with the pub
lie = rather than private = interest.
The whole issue is as simple as this: ac-
cording to Acting County Attorney Alfred
H. Carters opinion on the subject, neither
the county nor the State have absolute veto
power over where a utility shall erect its
overhead power lines in Montgomery County.
In other words, if Potomac Electric Power
Co.. say, wanted to run giant overhead lines
through the heart of Bethesda-Chevy Chase
and Silver Spring, there would be no law
to stop it from doing SO. 1t appears, then,
that we are confronted with the extraord-
nary spectacle of a business that enjoys COM
plete freedom from governmental regulation
insofar as one of its major functions is con-
cerned.
ion prepared for the County Council on this
subject declared:
'"The amendment is necessary to
protect the comprehensive Zoning plans
of the county from uncontrolled action
by utility companies from placing their
structures at locations which might him
der the future development of the area
and impair any master plan. The amend
nopnf iS also ocirahln and nococcorU IN
protect adjacent property owners in gen
eral residential neighborhoods from the
detrimental effect of large structures
which affect the value of their homes
and which in some location might ad-
versely affect the health and safety of
the residents and workers of the area"
Why, then, did the Council see fit to
kill the proposed regulation?
After the dual role of Charles H. Jami-
son as both County Councilman and as
real estate appraiser for PEPCO was widely
publiciZed, JamiSon announced he would alb
stain from voting and he kept his word on
tuesday. 1t is interesting to note however,
that the vote, with JamiSon abStaining, was
s to 5 and If councilman without JamiSon'S
conflict of interests had been there empow-
cred to vote the outcome could have been
much different
The same overhead power line problem
has, as we understand it, arisen - and been
solved = in such areas as Alexandria, Va.
Los Angeles, Baltimore County (Md.) and
Westchester County, NJ Y. How did they
solve it? Simply by enacting such reason
able regulations as were proposed for Coun-
Gil adoption on Tuesday Where these other
areas showed character, we were supine.
The incoming County Council should
rectify this serious error on the part of the
lame ducks as an early item of business
when it takes office
