sembly. DR.. Davis Y. Paschall,
State superintendent of public
instruction, said the results of
the study covering needs over
the next three years will serve
only to answer inquiries. He
said many such requests were
coming in.
Two years ago, local school
superintendents were asked to
furnish the same information
for the five-year period ending
June 80, 1862. The new survey
is for the period July /, 1853
to June 80, 1862.
School authorities are being
asked to estimate building needs
to provide adequate facilities
for all pupils, including ele-
mentary and high schools,
white and Negro. The cost of
minimum public school building
needs in the 1857 survey was
estimated at $303,647,964. of
which $57,386,264 would be
available in the localities, leav-
ing approximately a quarter
billion dollars in additional
funds to be raised.

School Aid
For Mentally
ReturdedS Set

The Fairfax County School
Board intends to study means
Of placing more mentally re-
tarded pupils in special classes.
The county last year pro-
vided special education to more
than 260 such children but w.
Harold Ford, assistant super
intendent for instruction, re-
ported to the school board
yesterday that at least lis
mentally retarded students at
tended regular classes last year
because special facilities were
unavailable for them.
He said that more space and
additional funds will be re-
quired before these retarded
children can be transferred
into the special program.
School Board Member Clyde
Gleason called it one of the
"hard-core problems of our
school system, but one that
isn't inSoluble."
The board also decided tc
consider at a special session
ways of increasing the avail
ability Of special speech Their
apy to children in need of it.
Some 1900 pupils received
such training last school veal
but it was estimated that more
than l.400 others could have
benefited from it.

Hospital Bockers Plan
Silver Spring Hearing

pm. In the Maryland National

quarters in Silver Spring, was
announced by the hospital as
sociation's board Of trustees
and the Sisters of the Holy
Cross.
The trustees and the Catholic
Sisters disclosed in February
they will jointly finance the
long-awaited hospital. The hos
pital site is a 10.2-acre tract or
Forest Glen road overlooking
Sligo Creek parkway and Dam
eron drive.
Two-and-a-half years ago
the county appeals board
granted q permit for construc-
ton Of the hospital on the
residential tract. But the ven
ture was blocked by county
voters in a November, 1856
referendum on a SO million
bond issue to finance the facil-
ity.
Since the 1856 appeals board
permit has lapsed., the hospital
association plans to file a new
permit application in the near
future. According to Robert T.
Snure, a former county council
member who is president Of
the association, Wednesdays
meeting will enable citizens
groups to examine and discuss
detailed plans for the hospital
before they are submitted to
the appeals board.

Towes OKs
Blue Cross
Cost Study

BALTIMORE. July 10 tAP).
Gov. Tawes took the FIRST
step today toward "full, open
and complete studies Of every
aspect Of Blue Cross costs"
The Governor said he was
asking Joseph Meyerhoff, chair
man of the State Planning
Commission, TO have the COM
Missions Medical Care Com
mittee at once take steps to
recommend TO me the best pro-
cedures TO follow in order TO
bring about the necessary
study"
There had been considerable
clamor for such an investiga-
ton after a three-day hearing
on a proposed Blue Cross rate
increase ended Friday.
State Insurance Commis-
sioner F. Douglass Sears in
dicated 1t would be at least two
weeks before there is a decision.
Maryland Hospital Service,
Inc, which operates the Blue
Cross hospital insurance plan,
wants a 24h per cent increase
from its one million Maryland
customers effective next Octo-
Der.
A statement by the Mary
land-DiStrict Of Columbia ALL
CLIO, introduced at the hear
ing, also criticized the unavail-
ability of cost-accounting in
formation and suggested that
blue Cross has, in effect, been
running interference for the
hospitals"
Meanwhile, DR.. Edward Stin-
son, jr., president Of the Hos
pital Council of Maryland, noti-
fled State Senator John C.
North, chairman of the Blue
Cross Committee of the Legis-
lative Council, that the hospital
group is willing to cooperate
with a public inquiry into Blue
Cross and hospital problems.
I'VE hope the study will COW
err all significant aspects Of

supply and silt problems will
be among these. But, he said,
the board will probably refrain
from studying these until after

Potomac River watershed by

A Louisiana senator" at the

his comments about "Ole Earl. /"

gate told a reporter at the Uni

Fears Consequences
But he declined to comment
on questions about the Govern
ors unorthodox conduct for
fear of possible consequences
back home. Although the Gov
ernor cannot remove Mr.. Ras-
berry's father, who is elected

Maryland political figures, in
GLIDING George P. Mahoney,
Baltimore Mayor j. Harold
Grady and ex-Mayor Thomas
D'Alesandro, jr.; Baltimore City
Council President Philip H.
Goodman. Baltimore Controller
R. Walter Graham, jr., and
National Committeewoman
Mildred Otenasek.
Some Of these, like Mr..
Goodman, are longtime sup
porters of Senator Kennedy.
Governor Is Criticized
Mrs. OtenaseK followed her
meeting with a bitter attack on
Gov. TaWeS for not naming
more women 10 top State posts.
A Kennedy move into Mary
land without the full approval
of Gov. Tawes would result in
a real test of the Governors
political strength.
Those close to the Governor
have been busy this week try
ing to keep tabs on Kennedy
moves in the State, and most
contend that the Senator
would not enter a head-on
fight with the Governor.
Some close to the Governor
indicate that he wants to run
as a favorite son and say they
! are encouraging him to do so.
They see their big problem
as convincing the public that
the Governor has no serious
aspirations for the nomination
but wants to put Maryland'S
delegation to the national con-
vention in a position to nego-
/ tiate freely with the real"
candidates.
Richie Last FavOrite Son
! Maryland has not sent a
/ favorite son candidate to a
national convention since 1882
when the late Gov. Albert c.
Richie was a contender.
In 1852 and 1856 Senator
Kefauver of Tennessee entered
the Maryland primary and
walked off with the nomina-
ton by a 81 vote over an
"uncommitted delegation"
In 1852, some Maryland dele
gates deserted him on the Sec
ond ballot, although he had led
on the first. Maryland law re-
quires support of a candidate
who wins the preferential pri-
mary only as long as each
individual delegate feels he has
a chance of winning.
This out causes Tawes sup
porters to suggest that Kennedy
would be better off if he worked
to obtain a second or third
ballot commitment from Gov.
TaweS rather than to chance
a primary fight with him.
The Governor does not want
| to run against Senator Ken
nedy or anyone else who would
pose a serious threat to him as
party leader.
A lot of those who want Sen
ator Kennedy to run are not
as much for the Senator as
they are opposed to Gov. TaweS.

Retired Man
Sues for Job

NORFOLK, Va, July 1S
(AP).-A 70-year-old railroad
engineer, forced to retire be-
cause Of his age, brought suit
yesterday to make the Norfolk
g. Western Railway take him
back.
II don't want to sit around"
Otto B. Kicks explained.
"Nothing's wrong with me-"
Mr.. Kicks of Norfolk has
been fighting a legal battle
against the railroad ever since
he was given his walking
papers last September.
40 Years With Road
He was forced to retire after
40 years of railroad work be-
cause Of a 1854 agreement
signed in Roanoke by repre-
SentativeS Of the road and the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers.
The agreement requires rail
employees to lose their seniority
once they reach the age of 10.
In effect this forces them to
quit, because without seniority
an engineer cannot remain on
the job.
Mr.. Kicks sued both the rail-
road and the union for 500, 900
and asked Federal Judge WAL
ter E. Hoffman to force the
road to keep him on. He also
asked that the union-railroad
agreement be declared null and
void because no member was
consulted.
If he had, he maintains, he
never would have voted in favor
of it.
Wins One Round

ment board referee, ruled that
Mr.. Kicks was entitled to get
unemployment compensa t O n
even though he was technically
retired"
Mr.. Brainard reversed a pre-
viouS ruling on Mr.. Kicks plea
that was handed down by a re-
tirement board in Atlanta.
He based his decision on the
fact that Mr.. Kicks was able
and willing to work, but could
not find employment on the
railroad.
