out of the runway meets both
State and Federal specifications
for safety and other factors.
The airport could handle any.
thing up to DEB passenger
airplane but most of the ex-
pected traffic will be single

hopes.
Richardson plans to serve
both ChantiIIy and Friendship
international airpOrts with taxi
flights. Each is about nine
minutes from the airport.
Richardson, tract pur-
chaser of the entire tract, said
that the 1888 acres would cost
about $4,000 to buy and the
runways would cost another
100000. other installations
would come later and would
cost additionally.
All of the land covering the
proposed airport is zoned rural
agricultural, Wheeler said. A
public hearing on industrial and
commercial coming applications
for the airport has been sched-
uled for September 10.
Key to the airport is that 1t

out active use of surrounding
industrial acreage. It's main
worth lies in attracting light
garden type-industry with fly.
ing executives.
The airport would have only
one competitor in the County,
Davis Airfield, a few air miles
to the North. But Davis Field
does not have any hangers or
lodging facilties-nor is its one
runway paved.

VandalS smashed a mos t
$2100 worth of Montgomery
County school windows last
month to set an all-time high
in breakage, according to DR..
Arthur D. Templeton, director
of business affairs for the
school board.
The damage report was con-
tanned in a memorandum of all
school vandalism last month,
almost all of which was broken

The report noted that 1t was
impossible to tell whether the
glass was broken accidentally
or maliciously or, in fact, that
all the glass was broken by
juveniles.
Only prior months that could
approach last month for van
dalism were September 1857
when school officials counted
up $1214 damage; January 1858
with $1132 damage; and Sep
TENDER 1858 when vandals
caused $1763 property damage.
Total damage for the years
1857 and 1858 remained fairly
stable at $12,738 and $12,464,
respectively. But for the year
ended this past June, the toll
shot upward to a startling $751;
592.
The school that suffered the
most damage this past month
was the McKenney Hills Ele-
mentary School where $500 in
destruction was reported. Sec
ond most damaged was North
Bethesda Junior High School
which sustained $249 in break
age followed by Broad Acres
Elementary School, with $152.
About $1,000 in glass breakage
was caused In the first two
weeks after school let out this
year, resulting in the increase
of from two to eight men in the
school systems glass repair
crew.
During the school year just
concluded, damage to school
plants amounted to 80 percent
more than the previous year,
leading school officials to think
the current year backed up
by last months damage total
will be far worse.

Caithersburg
Will Vote On
8Anendnnents

A special registration of
Gaithersburg voters will be
conducted during the next
few weeks in preparation for
a referendum on eight pro-
posed amendments to the
Town Charter.
Date Of the balloting prob
ably will be sometime late in
September, according to Town
Attorney James Hane.
The amendments were ap-
proved for adoption by the
Town Council, which later
decided on a public vote in face
of some citizen objections to
some aspects of the proposals.
The measures would do the fol-
lowing:
. Repeal the 1898 Town
Charter.
Q Permit the Council to hold
one or more closed meetings
each month.
o Allow quarterly, instead of
the present annual, tax assess
ments on new construction.
Q Eliminate a current re-
quirement that all proposed
ordinances be printed in their
entirety in public notices. The
new provision would require
the notice to include only the
title of the ordinance and the
location at which complete
copies are available to the pub
lie.
Q Sanction repayment of ex-
penseS incurred by councilmen
and other town officials in con-
nection with their official
duties.
. Establish special assess
ment procedures for financing
public parks and parking lots.
. Clarity the wording of the
existing charter in regard to
publication of election notices
by the Board of Election Super
visors.
. Provide that enumeration
of certain Council powers in
the Charter does not limit the
Councils right to exercise other
legal powers.
The special voters registra-
ton was ordered by the Coun-
Gil after Mayor Merton Duvall
told them the current voters
list is totally antiquated."
He said the rolls comprise
some $40 names, but that some
of these qualified" voters are
deceased and others have
moved from the town.
The Council directed also that
the registration lists be brought
up to date at least once year,
beginning next spring.
A 1858 Charter provision re-
moves voting eligibility of per-
sons who own property inside
the town but who live outside
town limits. Such persons pre-
viously were eligible.

5000 Increase Due
In County Schools
New Enrolment
To Top $4,000
For New Record
BY Bob Bernstein
staff Reporter

II
The vacation calm of 1O8
county schools will be shat
tered three weeks from
Tuesday when nearly $4,000
children are expected to en-
roll for the 1959-60 school
year.
The enrolment figure repre-
sents an increase of nearly 5000
over that of last September. To
handle the record load, two new
schools and six additions at ex-
listing plants-a total OF go
brand new classrooms-wiA be
inaugurated on opening day.
There will be 2919 teachers,
an increase of 207 over last
year.
Here are some of the perth
nent statistics in connection
with the September 8 opening.
Enrolment. School officials
now believe that their projec-
ton of last year, predicting an
enrolment of 73,409 in kinder
garten through 18th grade, may
prove to be a few hundred short.
The upto-6000 enrolment
growth can be accounted for pri-
marily by the wave of tots just
reaching school age. The num-
Der of kindergarten pupils, for
example, will be about 7750, or
about 5000 more than the NUM-
Der of high school students who
left the system last spring. n
Double sessions. The only
schools certain to be on double
sessions next month are Twin
brook and Highland Elementary
schools. At Twinbrook, it is ex-,
pected that some 400 first and
second grade pupils will attend
school in shifts. for at least
few months.
The total number of children
on double sessions as of last
March was us. Officials say
they will not be able to esti-
mate until a few days before
school opens whether the new
figure will be higher or lower.
Indignation. The number OF
Negro pupils attending integral
ed schools will increase from
about 1850 to somewhere around
1900. That represents an in.
crease from 40 to about so
percent of the county's approx
mately $3.50 Negro students.
One formerly all-Negro school
will open to both Negro and
white students in 1959-60. It is
Longview Elementary, which
will accommodate several classes
from Gaithersburg Elementary
School during rehabilitation OF
the latter facility.
New facilities. The two new
schools opening next month are
Dennis Avenue and Jackson
Road elementary schools, each
with II classrooms.
New additions opening in Sep
TENDER include four classrooms
at Brookview, eight classrooms

Records

Montgomery County read
ers read more than 2 million
books in the year ended June
80, according to George B.
Moreland, Director Of Ii
braries for Montgomery
County.
Moreland said the 2,016,000
books borrowed from county Ii
braries were the most ever lent
in the county's history of libra
ries.
Last month, he said, was typi-
cal of the growing appetite for
reading in the county. The hard
pressed Bethesda public library
checked out $4,000 books in July,
leading credence to unofficial
claims that it is the busiest IL
brary in Maryland.
And the little library at Gar
rett Park, he added, did more
business last month--around
5000 books-than it did in all
of 1851, the first year it became
a part of the county system.
Moreland compared the more
than 2 million mark reached
this year with the 1888 fiscal
year total of 100000 books.
"And there's no real surprise
there" he said. Montgomery
County was rated the second
highest municipality in the Unit
ed States, so far as educational
background of its residents was
concerned, by the Census Bu-
reau back in 1850" Rated first
was Arlington, Va.

Picketing Bon
Against Solitary
BARRIERS Upheld

The Supreme COURT refused
today to interfere with a ruling
that the Taft-Hartley Act bars
picketing of a barber shop
where the owner is the only
barber is the owner.
1t declined to review a deci-
sion by the Pennsylvania Su-
preme Court that union pickets
had no right to try to "orga-
nize" the owner r-barber, Louis
J. Grimaldi.
In its opinion, the Pennsyl-
vania Court said of Mr.. Girl
maldi:
HE is as much a one-man
operation as a man on a
unicycle. HIS has much undis-
puted control over his barber
shop as Robinson Crusoe had
over his island on the Thurs
day before Friday arrived"
The BARRIERS union made a
point of trying to organize a
number of Philadelphia's one
man barber shops. The Penn
sylvania Court noted that 1,700
of the city's $500 barber shops
were operated solely by their
owner.

Constitution Hall was not
the only scene Of Viennese
music making in Washington
yesterday. Karl Stumpf, a
member Of the Philharmonic
and a professor at the Vienna
State Academy Of Music, hur-
ried over to the Phillips Gal
lery to play a beautiful recital
Of music for the viola d'amere.
Prof. Stumpf's program made
1t quite clear that this ven
cradle instrument, on which he
is a justly famous performer,
is no hoary curiosity to be
dragged out only for "authen-
tic" performances of the st.
John Passion. Of the six pieces
on yesterdays program, five
were written by living COM
posers.
All Of the composers show a
keen ear to the Instruments
rich tonal possibilities. It's
ringing resonance, governed by
a set of sympathetically vibrat-
ing strings, was stunningly
displayed in rich cantabile
passages on single and double
stops, flute-like harmonics and
resounding pizZicatos.
The wide tonal gamut of the
viola d'amore was most con-
sistently displayed in two un-
accompanied works by Prof.
Stumpf himself. Intended,
doubtless, as display pieces,
their often engaging musical
ideas lacked structural cohe-
sion, but were merely presented
one after the other in impro-
VlSaCory style.
The best music of the day
was Hindemith's sonata. It has
the tautness of form and the
witty idiom characteristic of
the best Of the composers
writing in the '20s and
early '30s.
Two premiereS were a Phan-

Dika Newlin. Mr.. Rogers Phan-
taSy is a most agreeable work
in an eclectic idiom, with a So
norous and compelling slow
movement. Miss Newlin, who
served as a most sympathetic
accompanist, is perhaps better
known as a writer about 12-
tone music and its background
than as composer. Her atmos-
pheric piece was played twice.
The sole 18th century COM
poser was Carl Stamitz, who,

Ray Montoni, well known in
Washington as a violist, last
night directed the Catholic
University Orchestra in a stim-
ulating program.
The performance itself was
in-and-out. There were spots of
bad balance, poor tone and
murky intonation but these
were atoned for by some genu-
inely good playing, especially in
the Serenade for Oboe and
String Orchestra by George
Thaddeus Jones, of the univer-
Sity faculty.
This is a wonderfully evoca-
tive little piece, consistent in
mood, clear and sonorous in
texture. Donald Hefner is an
uncommonly fine oboe player,
and he negotiated with ease
the rather dangerous part for
that instrument. A viola player,
unnamed on the program, was
very effective in a brief duet
with the oboe.
The program was well
planned and unhackneyed. The
Cherubini overture and the
Mozart symphony are repre-
sentative of the two composers,
but not so frequently heard as
other similar works, and Doug
las Moore's little suite made a
spirited finale for the evening,
The concert was well attend
ed and enthusiastically re-
ceived. This orchestra is a
genuine student group and is
conducted by a young, enthu-
Siastic, sensitive musician. It
should develop into one of the
fine musical attractions of the
