Role Defended

As. you know / have been ac-
tive for many months in the in
terest of new West Rockville
Junior High as opposed to the
conversion of the Carver High
School for Junior High. During
this time and particularly in the
last few weeks your paper both
editorially and in your interpre-
tation of the news in the news
columns has indicated that rela.
lively few people with some seq
regation interests have been push
ing this new school.
Seemingly, you are not aware
of the fact that the P-TAs of
West Rockville, Park st. and Po-
tomac Elementary Schools which
represent a large percentage of
the parents of prospective stu
dents of a Junior High in this
area have appeared before the
school board and have forwarded
written statements to the Board
requesting the new school. Also
the president of the Hungerford-
town Citizens Association and
other representatives have APP
peared in favor of the superin-
tendent's proposal for new
school.
We were very pleased that the
school board recognized the fact
that our community earnestly be-
lieves that a converted Carver
School would be, principally be-
cause of its location, a very poor
solution to our Junior High needs.
The representatives of the sew
eral organizations in our area
present at the budget hearings
were very much surprised to see
Mr.. Bernstein's statement in his
editorial last week that convert.
ing Carver to a Jr. High school
would save 100000 more than
could be saved by converting Car
yer TO an Administration build
ing. We had all heard Mr.. James
Sheldon, director Of construction,
repeat several times in response
to questioning by the school board
members in regular session that
there would be very little diff
ference in the saving of money
between converting Carver to a
Jr. High or to administration
buildings.
will take issue with Mr.. Bern
stems statement that the West
Rockville actions have been det-
rimental to the education of chill
dren and has or will cause over
crowding. Economical and salts
factory means are available to
properly handle all Junior High
students in the Rockville area
even if the new Junior High Is
not ready for use until the fall
of 1862.

and our elected officials might at some point
want to consider more gradual increases than
have been granted in the recent past. Many
persons consider an annual salary hike of
$500 very substantial and an increase Of say,
$1,000 in any one year would make many
business executives shout the good news glce-
fully into the telephone to their wives as soon
as they found out about it.

Carver CONSERVATION

These lines are prompted by
the rather labored expression of
"betterment" of your columnist,
Bob Bernstein, relative to the re-
cent decision of the County
School Board affecting the Carver
High School.
1t is difficult to comprehend
how and why Mr.. Bernstein COM
mented as he did, relative to the
recent Carver decision, in view
of his physical presence during
the pertinent deliberations by the
School Board. Certainly he must
concede that the School Board
members, duly elected by the peo-
pie of this County, gave extensive
and objective consideration to all
factors involved, and were not by
any means governed in their
thinking merely by the desires of
the "West RockvillianS" whose
dedication" he finds so amazing
in this instance; or does he
wish, perhaps, to allege other
wise?
Since the School Board, at the
time of its final elaboration, had
established no fixed figure, but
had determined that the cost of
converting Carver to an Admin
istration building represented a
much smaller increase over the
cost of conversion to a junior
high school than had been an
ticipated, Mr.. Bernstein's glib use
of figures would appear some
what premature.
Moreover, the use of distortion,
implications, an d half-truths,
while effective in creating inter-
est is certainly dangerous jour
nalistic practice, and Mr.. Bern
stein appears to have come a
cropper" in this instance.
The "West Rockvillians" of
whoPN he wrote are not charac-
teristicdtly that at all, nor have
their efforts in the Carver mat
ter represented a battle" "over
long period of time" The "fer.
vent two-year crusade" which he
mentioned, dates, actually, to
April of the past year, and rep
resents the crystallization of the
thinking of a number of inter-
ested parents whose children were
TO be effected by this decision. In
pointing the editorial finger at the
pressure" eXerted by this group
of citizens, Mr.. Bernstein, in eff
feet, indicts a procedure which
has become characteristic Of our
free American way of life at ev-
cry level of government!
Mr.. Bernstein's admitted diff
Guilty in rationalizing "the West
Rockvillians' position is regret
table. He is not, of course, com
PEELED to do so. Should he be
genuinely and sincerely interested
in ascertaining their motives,
which were not at all as he sug-
gests, related to the migration
issue, l feel certain that there
are many Rockvillians ready and
willing to clarity his thinking in
this regard.
AS a matter of fact, while con-
venience, and bus transportation,
as your columnist pointed out,
were certainly in the forefront of
the motivating considerations of
this group of parents, it was the
very unattractive and far from
idealistic location of this school
plant, surrounded by an outdoor
movie, junk yards. and a main
highway, which placed a major
role in the thinking. Inasmuch

somewhere in between the two would be the
desirable one and Baltimore, no doubt, should
be paying more while it wouldn't necessarily
be critical if we paid little less.
Persons critical Of these salary increases
should remember that capable (high-priced)
administrative talent can save the taxpayers
large sums of money by their efficiency and
ability. Some restraint is desirable, however,

Most Dreaded Operatives

One of these army leaders
was Capt. Pedro Morejon, ex-
ecuted early this month. A
Castro military tribunal con-
victed him on separate counts
of assassination, hon j C d e,
theft, arson and damage.
He and two other officers,
now dead, Firmin CoWley and
Jesus Sosa Blanco, were the
most dreaded operatives of re-
preston in Oriente Province.
Maj. Sosa Blanco executed

assassinations, Capt. Morejon

Col. Cowley, their superior,
has been accused of personally

rebel crew of the yacht Corintia
that made an Inflated landing
on Cuba's north shore near
Holguin on November 7, 1857.
Eyewitness accounts say Col.
CoWley was furious at seeing
the captured rebels, one of them
wounded, being brought in alive.
He took a tommygun from a
guard and shot the rebels.

The Batista regime, as the
