Adjustments were made In

Mr.. Campbell said in some
cases contractors negotiating
with the Government did not
use the most recent and iac-
curate information available to
them in computing their costs.
In some cases, he said, reduced
prices quoted by subcontractors
were not passed on to the Air
Force.
In other cases, Mr.. Campbell
reported, contractors did not
furnish-and the Air Force did
not demand-suffic de-
tailed cost estimates to enable
the Government to judge the
reasonahleness of the prices.

ment-Mr. Reese-was ''out Of
order" in approaching the board
and allegedly urging that the
Potomac Electric Power Co.
radio tower case be heard ahead
of schedule.
Postponing other business on
the council agenda, the council
members conducted what was
virtually a full-scale tribunal Of
inquiry in the controversy.
Appeals Board Member VIII
liam A. Quinlan touched of the
dispute on May 81 by reading
into the record of the PEPCO
hearing a statement that a
thigh official" on April z pri-
vately had approached board
members asking for speedy and
favorable action in the radio
tower case.
Mr.. Quinlan stated the ON
cial had said: 1--WE would like
to see the exception granted"
250-Foot Tower
The case in question involved
a PEPCO application for a
special exception permit to
build and operate q 250-foot
micro-wave tower to be used as
a radio monitor for the utility's
high-tower power line from the
new Dickerson MD power
plant to suburban Montgomery
County.
The county manager denied
that he had urged the appeals
board to grant the permit ap-
plication. He said. however.
that he pointed out to board
members at the April gathering
that there was some doubt
whether q permit was needed
for the radio towers but that
Ito be sure the public interest
was being protected we had
directed PEPCO to file for o
special exception -"
Mr.. Reese said he then asked
the board what procedure
should be followed to set UP q
hearing as soon as possible
since PEPCO had stated the
lines were to be in operation in
June.

statement. said he objected
to the officials" remarks and
left the session soon after the

member added that last month,
when he made the thigh Of

necessity to name any person.
Two Motives
He declared he had two pur-
poses in making the state
ment-first, ito provide a fair

preached" and, second, ito

must decide where the cuts
| should be made.
All the specific cuts made by
| the school board were on the
recommendation Of the school
staff.
The biggest slash was in
capital outlay. The board
knocked out $645.876. This
money would have gone for
buses. various equipment and
furniture.
Instruction was next in line
with a total Of $220.874 dropped
out.
More than half the instruc-
ton figure was for three special
education teachers. one psy-
chologist, three helping teach
ers in reading and speech. five
| librarians and 10 new classroom
| teachers.
100000 From Pay
The rest, more than $780,
900 was clipped from the pro-
posed teacher pay raises, al
Though the proposed pay scale
Itself was not changed.
The board made the salary
cut by limiting raises for all
teachers to $500 for those who
work 10 months, $3.50 for those
who work IL months and $500
for those who work q full year.
This would mean some Of
the teachers on the highest
levels Of the scale would not
get as much next year as the
scale calls for. Eventually they
would get 1t, the board said.
Board Members Samuel S,
Solomon and Clyde w. Gleason
said the board still should try
Ito find more teachers in read
ling and speech even though
the money for them was cut
lout.
Both board members said
they were sure some money
could be found in school funds
If teachers could be found to
I'LL the jobs.
The board also cut $685. 42
from $753,507 for maintenance
of school plants. This included
repair of buildings and
grounds, repair and replace
ment Of furniture and equip
ment and other school projects
