In addition, guest lecturers

Ultimately, such a condensed
course may become a basic col.

The Council took no direct &C

other than to ask whether Fed

Meanwhile, Sen. Young made
an address on the floor of the
Senate July Z relative to his
article in the Saturday Evening
Post.
He said 1.-THE Maryland
State Civil Defense Director
(Ewing) condemned the report
because official Federal and
State policies call for evacua
tion-not shelters, in the event
of an attack"
This charge drew response
from Ewing who, on July Is
wrote a letter to Senator J.
Glenn Beall (R.-Md.), that said
in part, that Sen. Young's ad
dress contained ''inacgcuracies, >
and "generalities" that put him
in the wrong light.
Ewing also told Sen. Beall
that if Congress does not pass
a measure providing $12 million
aid for Maryland civil defense
this year, that many believe
local efforts will soon wither or
the vine"
IF Congress does not feel il
is worth the $12 million
then it would seem to be advis
able to cease all Governmental
efforts and join those who are
willing to stand up and say posi-
lively that war will never again

'DickersOn
School Fund
Need Cited

The county school board will
ask the County Council for a
special appropriation of $4,000
to complete the financing of a
new Dickerson-B arnesviIle
school.
The 11-classroom school,
hoped to open in fall of 1860,
would replace the four-room
Dickerson School which was de-
stroyed by fire last May.
Decision to seek additional
funds from the Council was
reached by the school board last
week on the recommendation of
Lester ]. WEIGH, director of
school planning.
Principal source of funds for
the project, however, will come
from previous ALLEGATION for a
seven-classroom addition at Tay-
lor (Boyds) School, where it
has been decided to build only
two classrooms of the original
plan.
The Taylor project thus will
cost only $68,0OO instead Of
$685., 700 as allocated. The re-
manning $314,000 will be trans
ferred to the Dickerson,Barnes.
vile job.
Total cost Of the new school
will be an estimated S485, 900.
Of this total, $34, 800 will come
from fire insurance on the old
Dickerson school, $4,000 from
unallocated budget funds, and
$4,000 planned for inclusion in
the 1960-61 budget.
The new school will be located
near GAINESVILLE, a site chosen
by the school staff as more cen
traHy located than the old Dick.

Target of VandaLs

Ever hear of a playground
toilet structure that had to be
built of thick cinder block, with
a concrete roof and a steel door,
just to keep juvenile vandals
from tearing it down?
Well, that's what Rockville
public works officials have had
to build on some city play
grounds. Not only that, but they
also must fork out considerable
money each year to repair de.
liberately broken plumbing ia
cilities at these toilets.
And even the steel doors have
taken a beating, according to
City Engineer John Gray. "Some
of them look like they have been
slugged with picks" he said dis
gustedly.
That's not all, either. The new
Elwood Smith Memorial Recrea-
tional Center at the foot of Mon

has come in for its share of
juvenile hoodlumism, according
to Gray.
"Why, E. J. Smith, the build
er working on the job, wants
the City to accept it as soon as
the last nail is driven home be-
cause he's afraid he hasn't got
the money to keep repairing the
place." Gray said.

The newly created Senate Committee

In addition, the committee has

One question involves figures on

The other is a request of these
agencies to outline what they con-
