Awarded

Construction Of a 12-class-

awarded to Hill & Kimmel, Sill
yer Spring contractors, at a
contract price of $239, AGO.
The firms bid was accepted
by the school board last Satur-

Lowest bidder was Regent

which requested time extension
OF 80 days. Second lowest was
Coleman & Wood, Inc. ($237,
997), which asked an extra go
days.
Many pupils at the school
now are on double session, and
the school board has been push
ing the addition as a high
priority project. In view OF this,
the board agreed to reject the
bids that did not meet the No

The county school board
stung by County Council
reductions in some vital"
areas, will seek Qualification
of where policy-making lines
should be drawn between
the board and the council.
The council pared some 80
proposed administrative; super
visory and clerical positions in
adopting a 1927 million school
operating budget.
The question now before the
board: are the schools legally
bound to accept the councils
judgment as to particulars, or
do they have flexibility to
spread available appropriations
as they see fit?
At best, the question enters a
murky legal area in which attor-
neys for both county and schools
have expressed past puzzlement.
An. early meeting with the
council will be sought by the
board to clarity the issue.
Meanwhile, the board is reluc-
tant to accept the councils deci-
sions on numerous specific
school programs.
Several board m e m b err S
blamed their own failure to
fully explain and justify their
budget requests in certain areas.
One, President Rose c. Kramer,
expressed fear that school pol
icy has been taken out of our
hands"
But. three other board mem
bers, on the assumption that
they retain the flexibility to
juggle the overall appropria.
ton, said they were pleased the
council pinpointed its cuts.
Among items deleted by the
council but held to be vital by
the board are such as these:
IA supervisor of guidance,
to give overall direction to a
counselling and guidance pro-
gram that has grown to vast pro-
portions but is essentially rud-
derless.
. Enlargement of the person
mel department by two staff
members, to screen the antici-
pated flood of teacher applica-
tons lured by the county's new,
high salary scale.
. A supervisor of the pro.
gram Of Foreign Language in
elementary schools, which has
been progressing at a rapid rate
but could be stalled by the coun-
Gil action.
. An extra construction de.
partment engineer, who could be
helpful in effecting building and
maintenance savings.

Harvey Arnold, Sc, was con-
victed September 29 on two
counts of flrst-degree murder

fed in Arnold's behalf.
Arnold claimed at his trial
that Mrs. Brady and Mr.. Truitt
threatened him with butcher

Gang Fight

BALTIMORE, Nov. % (AP)
Police and city recreation Of
flcialS today Quizzed coaches
and players involved in a sand
lot football game which erupted
into a gang fight between
whites and Negroes.
The fight broke out yester-
day near the end of q game
between two teen-age teams,
one white and the other Negro.
Six players on the all-white
st. Jerome's Catholic Church
team, their coach and the white
referee were taken to hospitals,
X-rayed, treated and released.
The white coach. Roland
Butschky, said the fight started
late in the game after his
team tied the score with a
touchdown. He said one of his
players tried to run for the
extra point, was stopped short
Of the goal line and then at
tackled by four or five players
on the Easterwood Bears team.
The game was played at East
erwood Park in West Baltimore.
Spectators from the pre-
dominantly Negro crowd joined
in and the melee was on, Mr..
Butschky said.
Elzie Street, jr., coach of the
Negro team, today blamed un-
fair oficiating for the trouble.
He said it could have been
averted If police had been as
signed to patrol the game.
Mr.. Street said the referee,
William E. Day, %, and another
unidentified game official,
helped stir up the trouble by
several obvious bad calls in
favor" of the white team.
Il wouldn't say it was racial
bias" Mr.. Street added. II
think it was favoritism toward
a team that was undefeated and
about to be defeated"
Park police, who broke up the
fight. said Mr.. Dey was pulled
from his car and beaten but
managed to get free and lock
himself inside the car.
While Mr.. Dey blew his horn
to attract attention, police said,
the crowd ripped out wiring
in his engine and rammed a
park bench through his wind
shield.
AS police questioned players
on both teams, the head of
the city's department Of rec
reation called in both coaches
for a report on the incident.

heard this exhortation from Err

view was vociferously shared by

Speakers emphasized that the
proposed organization would
discriminate neither against

Mr.. Dollar said the drivers
chief trouble in making their
voice heard in Congress or with
city officials is that they have
exercised it only as individuals

The cabbies on hand yester-

to an effective voice, since the
