Kind Colonel Sparks
Naples Kidnop Scare

NAPLES. Italy, Oct. IA (AP)
"A big hearted American
colonel has found himself in
the center of a kidnap scare
because of his friendship for
a Neapolitan urchin.
Five days ago the mother of
Castrese Carboni, IA, reported
to police that she had seen her
boy being driven of in an
American automobile with
United States license plates.
When the boy failed to re-
appear, police started a search.
Newspapers took up the story.
Yesterday. in the quiet of
his office at NATO Southern
European headquarters here,
1t. Col. Lloyd r. Salisbury of
Spokane, Wash. read of the
supposed kidnapping.
Moments later he showed up
at a police station with
Castrese.
Police said the colonel told
this story:
Two years ago he found
Castrese playing in a Naples
street. The boy complained of
a leg injury. The colonel took
him to a hospital for treat
ment.
In time, Col. Salisbury all but
forgot the incident.
Then five days ago he saw
the boy again. CastreSe was
dirty from the rough-and-
tumble playing of the Naples
streets. His clothes were torn.
Col. Salisbury and his wife
Wilma, childless couple, took
the boy to their home, gave
him a bath, and bought him a
new suit of clothes.

Point 4 Strike
Jars Bolivia

LA PAz, Bolivia, Oct. IA
AP).-A strike by Bolivian
employees of the United States
Point Four administration in
Cochabamba provinces yester-
day caused President Herman
Siles to delay his planned res
ignation to Bolivia's Congress.
The resignation was to be a
political maneuver to get Fed
erico Alvarez Plata, a strong
SileS supporter, reinstated as
Senate president. Government
informantS said that settlement
of the strike must come before
the political maneuvering.
LeftwingerS in Mr.. Siles' Ma
tional Revolutionary Movement
last week ousted Mr.. Alvarez
Plata and installed Ruben julie
as Senate president. In Bolivia
the Senate president is the legal
successor to the presidency in
case Of death or resignation.
Bolivia has no elected vice
president.
Mr.. SileS planned to offer his.
resignation at a joint session
of Congress, in which he has a
majority because of his control
of the House. The plan was for
the Joint session to reject his
resignation and reinstate Mr..
Alvarez Plata.
The striking employees in
Cochabamba work for the Point
Four administration branch
which directs Bolivia's road
building and maintenance pro-
gram. Point Four officials have
threatened to drop the road
program in the province unless
the strike. for higher wages, is
settled quickly. Bolivia couldn't
continue the program without
Point -Four aid.

City Heeds Cry
To Save Trees

Defenders of tall old trees
along Westmore ave. at Fred
erick ave-, Rockville, have won
a battle with the city.
The city agreed this week to
acquire only 40 feet for right
of.way to widen Westmore, in
stead of the so feet planned for
the 26-foot wide street.
The five feet given up on each
side Of the street will allow the
city to install sidewalks around
the tall shade trees without dis
turbing them.
The action was taken after
Walter A. Scheiber advised the
Mayor and City Council that
Westmore residents would fight
right-of.way proceedings in
court unless the trees were
spared.

DR.. George L. Osterwise,
one of four former assistant

his resignation.
Osterwise said he will quit

rector Of personnel, left earlier
to become superintendent Of an
Oklahoma school system.
Thus, of the four former as
sistant superintendent who had
their titles changed to "direc-
tor" only Maxwell Burdette, d.
rector of research, still remains
with the county system.
The title changes were pro
tested at the time by the Mont

could be interpreted as black
marks on records Of the four
men.

proposed the title changes, said
Tuesday that Osterwise's de.

he could not "stand in his way
because this is a significant and
well-deserved professional ad-

Big Student
Jump Here
Sets Record
Total This Year
Is 6545 Over
1958-59 Figures

County SC ools have
chalked up a record high an
nual enrolment increase
with 6545 more checking in
this year than last. A nose
count on September 30
showed 74,601 pupils.
DR.. C. Taylor Whittier, super
intendent of schools, said the
increase was 1892 more than
the 1853 that'had been predicted
a year ago by the schools popu-
lation analyst. Since 1851, the
actual rate of increase each
year has been about 5000.
This years pupil increase
over last years total is equal
approximately to the full enroll
ment of six of the county's
largest elementary schools.
The % per cent error in the
1959-60 estimate was attributed
to the unexpected boom in new
home building, especially in the
Kensington, Wheaton and Sill
yer Spring areas. James r.
Shade, jr., the population ana
1yst, explained that new homes
in an area always bring an inn
mediate increase in elementary
school enrolment.
This factor in the estimate
was low because at the time 1t
was made over year ago,
building In the county had been
slowed by the recession that hit
the entire Nation.
4 This is borne out by the fact
that the error in the estimate
was greatest in the lower
grades kindergarten through
sixth. When new families
move into an area they tend
to have higher ratio of small
er children.
In Rockville, where building
has been at steadier pace than
elsewhere in the county, the
estimate was off by only five
children. Also, in the upcounty
areas the estimate was fairly
close to the actual increase.
A spokesman for the Har-
mony Hills P-TA in Wheaton
said that some of that schools
classes "face the certainty of
alternatives of split sessions,
off-premises classrooms, or
emergency measures"
Theodore A. Miller, president
of the Harmony Hills P-TA, told
the school board this week that
a minimum of eight additional
classrooms will be needed by
the 1960-61 school year, and that
even these might not be suffi-
cient to avoid using the school
library as a classroom.
The effects of the unexpected
increase have not yet been
fully determined. Paul A. Hen
ny, assistant supervisor of the
Board of Education, said he ex-
pected elementary schools in
the Wheaton, Silver Spring and
Kensington areas to face severe
problems in regard to shortage
of teachers and classroom
space.
