Parents

Parents may be held re-
sponsible for up to $500 In
damages inflicted by juve-
niles under a new provision
of the Peoples Court Act
that cleared the General
Assembly just before it adj
journed last Saturday.
Previously, the Juvenile
Court of Montgomery County
had no legal power to fine
parents whose children COM
mitted acts of vandalism. The
amended portions of the law
become effective June 1.
The amended law requires
the juveniles to make restitu-
ton for damages, wherever
possible. II they cannot, then
the parents must foot the bill.
A spokesman for the District
of Columbia Juvenile Court
said that his court does not
have this power, but that 1t
might be possible for persons to
recover their losses in a civil
court.
In Prince Georges County,
meanwhile, civil damages IN
flicted by juveniles convicted Of
destroying property, can be
made a part Of the youths pro-
baton, thereby insuring restitu-
ton. If the money isn't forth

Reds Catching Up
Flabby' Z. S. Thinking
Blasted by Educator

American children should
be made to work twice as
hard at their studies as they
do today, if we are to meet
the Russian challenge, a
prominent educator said in
a strongly worded address
to the West Rockville P-TA
this week.
John B. Whitelaw, chief for
teacher education in the u. S.
Office of Education, said his
views were based on an inspec.
ton tour of Russian schools last
summer.
Whitelaw, a Rockville resi-
dent, was a member of the first
official U. S. education mission
to the USSR last May and June.
He said the mission was deep.

tiOnal strides being made by the
Reds:
ut is my impression from this
brief visit that the Soviet Union
Is setting the pace for the rest

By contrast, Whitelaw said, he
has been profoundly shocked
by the "willful ignorance and
wishful thinking" on the part of
Americans toward the rise of

Project Opens
Seven Families
Due to Move in
This Weekend

Seven families are sched-
uled to move into Lincoln
Terrace this weekend, to be-
come the first occupants Of
Rockville's first public hous-
ing development.
An impasse between the City
Housing Authority and the prof.
ect's prime contractor, which
had delayed tenancy by several
months, apparently had dis
solved this week In an official
attitude of cheerful cooperation.
Joseph J. Tarallo, Authority
chairman, said everything has
worked out fine" and that the
Authority is livery happy" with
the progress of home-stretch
construction work at the Ter
race.
The contractor, Sydney Fish
man, said he hopes to complete
all work, including landscaping.
within another week or 10 days.
Meanwhile, representatives OF
four Negro churches, In coOpera-
ton with city and county health
officials, were preparing a dem
onstration unit In one Terrace
apartment for the benefit of fu-
ture Terrace residents.
Mrs. Gloria Jones, county
home demonstration agent, said
the unit would show incoming
families how they might fur
nish their own apartments
cheaply but attractively.
Housekeeping demonstrations
will be given as a further aid to
the families, many of whom
never before have experienced
slum living.
The demonstration unit will
be maintained for at least q few
weeks, or until three or four a.

buildings are occupied. Taraii0s
said.
Occupancy Of the second and
third buildings hopefully win
begin sometime next week. After
that, TaraIIo said, q new build.
ing probably win be opened each
day or two until all III are Occur
pied.
The handsome red brick struc-
lures comprise a total of So
separate living units and a Com.
munity Building containing de-
velopment offices and a COM
munity meeting hall. Contract
price for the entire project was
$637S45.
Many of the future tenants
now live in rundown shanties
condemned for human occupaI1-
cy by the City Of Rockville. En-
forcement of the condemnation
orders has been delayed pending
opening Of the Terrace.
One of the first new tenants
will be the family Of Lillian
Williams, mother Of three
daughters and of two other lit
tie girls who persisted when fire
swept through the basement
quarters Of one of the city-conr
demned novels on March %.
The tragedy turned the public
spotlight on the construction
hassIe which had begged down
the project, and the impasse
was broken shortly afterwards.
Pri9rities are being assigned
on the basis Of need. Rental
fees are based on ability to pay
and range from $25 a month
upward.

Milk PricqW9r
Hurts FarTi'5;'.',zs
Chestnut Farms
Imports 10000
Gallons Daily
By Bob Bernstein
Staff Reporter

a period of economic re-
trenchment as the milk
supply war continued to
rage this week.
The plight of the small pro-
Queer grew more critical as
the siege of competing out-of-
state milk swelled to a reported
$4,000 gallons a day.
These developments pointed
up the mounting farmers peck
etbook crisis:
. April payments to the more
than 1900 members of the Mary
land-Virginia Milk Producers AS
ISOLATION, a farmers coop, were
expected to be as much as
100000 below normal.
. Equipment and implement
dealers in Montgomery County
reported noticeable drop-off
in purchases by hard-pressed
dairynen.
= Chestnut Farms said it is
prepared to continue importing
outside milk for as long as is
necessary to break the Associa-
TONS price demands.
The competition of outside
milk has forced the Association
to sell larger-than-normal per-
centage of its own milk for con-
version to such non-fluid prod.
ucts as butter and cheese.
Milk used for these purposes
commands lower prices than
that used for bottling. This nec-
essarily lowers the overall
''blend" price paid by the AS
ISOLATION for the producers raw
milk.
A Federal price order, to go
into effect July / if approved by
the farmers, would set an aver
age price of $40 per hundred
to the diaries for fluid milk.
Sealtest says it would be will.
ing to pay that amount, which
would be more than dollar
below the average price it has
been paying to the Association.
However, the coop has indi-
Gated it will demand a Accent
premium for quality milk, and
Sealtest insists it will continue
to buy out Of state rather than
pay the premium.
r. Upton Gfadhifi Of Damas-
Gus, n Montgomery director Of
the milk coop, predicted that
April Is payments to members
flor March deliveries) would
run anywhere from Is to 80
cents q hundredweight lower
than the normal price.
For the average producer, he
said, this will bring income be-
low actual costs.
Gladhill estimated that the
farmers "blend" price IS low
cred about Is cents per hundred
for each 10000 gallons a day inn
ported by Sealtest. The big dairy
began its imports about a month
ago and a spokesman said the
daily amount has now reached
10000 gallons.
Equipment stores IN upper
Montgomery County reported
slower than usual business for
this time of year. They placed
at least part of the blame on
the milk war.
THE farmers tell us they lust
won't buy until they can see
what's going to happen" said
one store manager.
Both the Association and
Chestnut Farms plan to have
spokesman on hand at an April
II hearing on a proposed new
Montgomery milk ordinance.
Intent of the ordinance would
be to raise inspection standards
closer to those of the District
Of Columbia. Association rep
resentatives have declared, how
ever, that its provisions are not
tight enough to shut out all out
of-state milk, as do the District
regulations.

ANB Rolls Over Hornets, 56-32

The ANB, inspired by the play of captain Arnie Castel and the scoring of Jake Titus, Gil Ozenna, Art Trigg and Gary Longley, ran away from the Polar Hornets in a basketball game last night. After a slow be- ginning, which continued into the third quarter, the ANB sudden ly caught fire and exploded for 24 points in the fourth quarter and turned what had been close ball game into rout. Art Trigg was tremendous as he scored ten points in this late splurge.
 The Polars, seemingly off in their game, were sparked by the rebounding of Frank Austin and the scoring of Ike Larsen and Vince Ahkolik.
 National Guard 39. Merchants 32
 In the second game of the double-header, the National Guard five, led by Korky Kost, out lasted the Merchants in a knock down, drag-out affair that proved to be by far the toughest basket ball game of the still-young sea- son. The Guardsmen started out with an early lead, which was quickly erased by the Merchants. The fracas remained nip and tuck until midway through the third quarter, when the Guardsmen jumped ahead with a 10 point splurge by Bill Caldwell and Korky Kost. This spread proved to be too much for the Merchants to overcome as the Defenders of the North went into ball con- trol offense, and were able to keep their advantage throughout the remainder of the game.
 The Merchants, playing without the services of Big Buggy Swan berg, were led by George Bell, Pete Hahn, and Bob Harwood, who did a tremendous job of playing defense.
 The game was marked by con- siderable fouling.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
 By OLAF HALVERSON

The amount of moonlight in creases from new to full more rapidly than the illuminated area of the moons disk; so our satellite at the quarter gives much less than half her light at full. This is due mainly to the gradual shortening of the lunar shadows cast by the mountains. These shadows vanish at full moon.
 It is very apparent to the eye that some parts of the moon are much darker than others. On the average, the lunar surface reflects about a sixth of the sunlight falling upon it. The spectroscope shows no difference in kind be- tween moonlight and sunlight. The brightness of the full moon is small when compared to the sun, being a fraction of one over six hundred thousands.
 Heat from the full moon is nearly four times greater than the amount of light. Because our sat- elite has no atmosphere it ra- diates the suns heat immediately.
