more noticeably, the serv-
ice said. from 200.9S7 man
days in 1866 to 124.244

The President won q round
on the monetary fund sub
scription issue in the House.
A 315-b7 roll call provided
that the money would be In
cluded In 1860 fiscal year
spending instead Of the 1859
budget as was voted in the
Senate.
OF seven Senate roll calls
lat various stages Of action on
the housing bill. the President
lost on five. He lost on four
of five roll calls on the
Kennedy-Ervin labor bill. The
House passed a housing bill
version, 261-l60. in a form
far out Of line from admin
lstration recommendations.
In regional terms, the CO
reported. Mr.. Eisenhower re-
ceived his strongest support
from Republicans from West
ern States. Democrats from
Southern States supported the
President more often than they
opposed him on the IS roll
calls.
Measures on which the ad-
ministration scored victories In
Senate roll calls included those
for a four year extension
of the draft, statehood for
Hawaii, nominations of Chris
tian A. Herter as Secretary Of
State and Of Supreme Court
Justice Potter Stewart, and
some changes in the housing
legislation. Defeats included
those on most housing bill
sections, aid to airports, funds
for distressed areas and the
labor reform bill.

The House record to date In
dicates the administration is
having increased trouble in
gaining support of both Demo-
Gratis and some Republicans for
its position. This apparently is
the case despite the admin

month when the House sus-
tanned by four votes a veto Of
the Rural Identification Adj

The Senate had voted to over

House Vote Unreached
Several bills covered in the

have not yet come up in the

disputed measures for labor re-

The Board of Education was
equally firm about opposing
any tampering with its juris-
diction over the teachers col

State Schools Supt. Thomas

"a fundamental question

''is whether the University Of

If 1t is to be a university, he
added, more money should be

feSSional training and research,
none Of which has been sup
ported adequately.
DR.. Pullen said the univer-

mended by the legislative coun-
Gil and approved by Gov. Tawes.
This is based on a $500
increase for teachers with 10
years experience and would
give Montgomery County about
$485. 900. The county plans to
put the money in the general
school fund instead Of adding
the $500 to the eligible teachers
because Of an agreement made
with teachers last year that
there would be no salary in
creaSes next year because Of the
high salary scale approved then.
The Maryland Teachers As
Sociation has asked for in
creased teacher pay which
would cost the State about $13
million compared to the $4
million cost Of the program
approved by the Governor.
Mr.. Lee warned that If q Bit

February session of the Legis-
lature over the two competing
proposals it might end in a
"stalemate and no bill at all"
Junior College Funds
School board members asked
the delegation to seek State
aid for building of junior col
leges. Montgomery County is
planning its second junior col
lege. The State provides aid
for operational costs but not
for construction.
The county council. at the
suggestion of Mr.. Lee, also
asked that $3.50. 900 be included
in the State budget for buying
additional land at Seneca State
Park, part OF which is in Mont
gomery County.
County Manager Melvin
Reese said that money must be
found to finance improvements
in the State road system. IF
all the roads now planned were
built, they still would be satu-

BALTIMORE, Dec. II (AP).
The State Board of Educa-
tion should control all State
colleges including the Univer-
sity of Maryland, Jerome
Frampton said yesterday. Mr..
Frampton, president of the
State board, said There's a
great deal Of comment in favor

He appeared before a sub
committee of a commission
studying problems of university
expansion.
Mr.. Frampton'S suggestion
directly opposes a proposal that
the university Board of Regents
take over operation of the five
State teachers colleges and
broaden their curricula.
Nearly everyone agrees that
university enrollments will
double by 1870. The problem
facing the commission is this /:
Should the present campuses
at College Park and Baltimore
be enlarged or should branches
across the State be established =?

State Senator Edward s.

into" the problem, but it ap-
pears to be unconstitutional to
force a developer to contribute
land for schools.
Delegate Blair Lee, III. chair
