Warned on
Czech Border
By the Associated Press

Adventuresome Am eri c ans
were warned yesterday against
slipping across the Czechoslovak
border to see what it's like
behind the Iron Curtain.
The State Department said
border violators are subject to
punishment by the United
States Government as well as
lby Czech authorities.
The warning was issued after
q number of American tourists
lcrossed the line without proper
papers this summer and found
themselves in Czech jails.
As United States officials pic
ltured it, some Americans trav-
leling in neighboring West Ger
many and Austria are tempted

hind the Iron Curtain" when
they find a spot where>it looks
easy to duck across the border.
"They don't think the Iron
Curtain is there until they get
there" one official commented.
land then they find it is very
real"
The State Department acted
after its latest reports told Of
five young Americans in the
last few weeks going across
the Czech border and getting
caught without proper docu-
ments. All have now been re-
leased.

Mr.. Blackburn's supersonic

take-off Of less than one inch
the distance the plane moved
before breaking the shear-bolts
that held 1t in the shelter.

The booster rocket, attached
below the tail Of the plane,
built up a pressure Of 10000
pounds Of thrust almost equal
to that developed by o Thor

Four seconds after blast-oh the
Jet was doing ATS miles an hour
and the booster dropped away.
In another few seconds the
jets own engine was propelling
it faster than sound-more
than $50 miles an hour.
Mr.. Blackburn said the tre-
mendous acceleration - Gre
ating pressures four times that
of normal gravity-and ex-
tremely high noise level had no
effect on his ability to manage
the plane.
Mr.. Blackburn, president Of
the Society of Experimental
Test Pilots, said the test proved
his contention that tomorrow's
missiles can and must be
manned.

SAN QUENTIN, Calf, Aug.
~ (AP).-Stephen Nash, who
boosted of more killings than
police could verify, died today
in the San Quentin prison gas
chamber.
The gaunt, hypnotic-eyed
knifer spent the last two Of his
So years Of life in isolation on
death row-isolated because
fellow murderers sickened of
his boast that he killed at least
IL men and boys.
He never had a visitor. and
there was no one to claim his
body.
Arrested on Los Angeles Skid
Row in 1856 when police found
o bloody knife in his pocket,
Nash admitted killing '10-year-
old Larry Rice under a Santa
Monica pier and John Berg.
rs. in Mr.. Berg's Long Beach
apartment.
Confessed Other Killings
Convicted Of those two MUIR
ders, he confessed many others.
Three, in San Francisco, Sac
ramento and Richmond, Calf,
were verified by police. They
believed the others. too, but
found no proof.
Nash relished describing the
way his victims died, just as he
relished his last dinner Of steak
and pie.
When Superior Judge H.
Burton Noble Of Los Angeles
sentenced Nash to die, he called
the lanky, toothless stabber
"the most evil person who ever
appeared in my court" Nash
merely smiled, in the same way
he did when he refused spirit
ual comfort on his last day Of
life.
Nash gave this explanation
for his crimes:
i've always gotten the left
overs out of life. When ]
couldn't even get that much, !
Just took something out Of
someone else's life"
Court appointed psychia-
trists ruled Nash was legally
sane. But a deep-rooted per-
secution complex often dubbed
to the top:

name until I was 20. -.

Competition is a stimulant to

County Population
Due to Hit $4,000

Pickard further predicted that
Montgomery County will have
a population of $1,000 by 1880
and by the year 1000, will have
reached one million.
Montgomery County last year
numbered $4,000 persons,
according to the M-NCPPC.
Key to the county's coming
growth is, of course, a high
birth rate.
James r. Shade, population
analyst for the School Board,
said there were 1893 resident
births in the county last year
and that these children reflect
ed last years continuing rise in
school enrolment.
A total of 1858 new students
entered county kindergartens
last year, he said, while only
1892 seniors graduated.
Shade pointed up the increas
ing birth rate by pointing Out
that vital statistics showed a
total of 1649 resident births In
1914.

come a substitute for adequate
pay for all teachers.
. No fair and equitable
means Of rating teachers has
been discovered. The factors in
good teaching often are too sub
jective and intangible to be
isolated and rated.
. Merit plans often lead to
favoritism, rivalry and resent
ment which soon pervades the
classroom and penalties the
children as the ultimate losers.
. Parents will strive to place
their children In classes taught
by high-rate teachers, with re
sulting strife and confusion.
. The aims of merit pay
could be substantially attained
by more thorough application of
denial of salary increments to
a State law which prescribes
obviously weak teachers.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1959-03-05

The question could very well
become one of the most contro-
versial issues to be handled by
the Board of Education during
the coming year.
The Board has indicated it
would like to incorporate some
sort of merit feature into its
pay schedule, and already has
taken one cautious step in that
direction.
The completely of the ques-
ton is demonstrated by the fact
that arguments on both sides
seem to be good ones.
To assist in solving its diem
ma, the board has n m d a
special advisory committee that
has been studying the issue for
several months. Committee
membership is evenly divided
between teachers and lay resi-
dents of the county.
In view of such apparent and
legitimate difference s of
opinion, it Is likely that the final
outcome will be some sort of
compromise plan with definite
but limited merit provisions.
The Boards first tentative
step toward merit pay is includ-
ed in its proposed budget for
1880. 1t would make the final
two steps on the basic salary
schedule subject to the superin-
t e n d ent's recommendation,
rather than automatic as are
all other steps.
Here are the most significant
arguments for and against the
merit principle:
. Special inducements must
be offered in order to attract a
large number of unusually
capable teachers. 1t would not
be feasible to offer such high
rewards to all teachers.
. The principle of more pay
for better work has proved sue
