Maryland Brush Fires

Maryland State forestry

visor for the Maryland Depart
ment of Forests and Parks.

The Other Side

In this day and age none
Of us can escape the serious.
The Rambler was a guest
last week at a luncheon of
the Armed Forces Communi-
cation and Electronic Associ-
alton. 1t was at the willard,
and there were almost 500
at the table.
The speaker was a civilian
employe in the Pentagon,
Ralph L. Clark, an engineer.
One of his assignments had
been a study of Soviet per-
formance. He had this to
say:
The 2 or 3-year tours of
duty of our officers are not
In rhythm with administra-
ton of the projects that take
5 to 10 years.
A Soviet army colonel with
doctorates in engineering
and mathematics was in
charge of his army's rocket
program in 1898. Today he
is a colonel general and a
key figure in the guided mis-
sile program. He had some
thing to do with the mis-
sile that went around the
moon.
AS for us, we consider the
letting of a contract the
solution of a problem. When
some of our people we're
shown the Soviet photos of
the hidden side of the moon,
they said:
Those aren't very good.

Claims Court always has 4e-
sisted being included in such a
building and has endeavored to
obtain a building for its sole
use.
Both the Tax Court and
Customs Court are now in the
Internal Revenue Service build
ing. The revenue service needs
all space there.
Senate May Sympathize
What might appear to be an
impossible cause because Of
House Appropriations Commit
tee action may gain sympathy
in the Senate. There, Demo-
cratic Senators Kennedy of
Massachusetts,, Mansfield and
Murray of Montana, Morse of
Oregon, Humphrey of Minne-
sofa, Douglas of Illinois, Hen
nings of Missouri, and Gruen-
ing of Alaska, all have spon-
sored legislation aimed at saw
ing the Madison. Tayloe and
Belasco structures.
Even If the House votes to
build the Claims and Customs
court on the Lafayette Square
site, actual spending must await
approval of building plans by
both the Senate and House
Public Works Committees. So
far, the House Committee has
cleared only the Claims Court
building, and the Senate Com
mittee has not approved either
the single Claims Court or the
C ON bined Claims Custom

Hansen Fails to Divert
Board on Dropout Age

District School Supt. Carl F.
Hansen lost a bid yesterday to
get school board members to
forget about raising the COM
pulsory attendance age from
l6 to 18 years.
The superintendent came to
the board committee meetings
armed with a two-page state
ment opposing any change in
the existing law. His major
contention: you cannot force
youngsters of 16 and II to re-
main in school and hope to
teach them anything.
What is needed, he said, is
not a tougher law, but better
educational programs to make
all students want to continue
in school until graduation.
Board Member Rowland F.
Kinks, who suggested the two
year increase last month,
sharply disagreed with DR..
Hansen. Sometimes force can
be a good thing, he said -
particularly when it will COM
pei so-called dropouts to finish
their secondary education and
ito be redeemed"
Uncertain Fate
The dropouts now, DR.. Kinks
said, often become delinquents,
and eventually criminals or
welfare cases.
DR.. Preston A. McLendon
then noted that other factors
such as the caliber of teach
ers and the scope of the ath-
letic program - might affect
the dropout rate.
After some more discussion
the boards Committee on Leg
islation-headed by DR.. Kinks
decided to hold a public hear
ing at some future date on the
question of dropouts and the
compulsory school attendance
law. The committee also de-
cided to hold a private briefing
with top experts in this field
before the public hearing.
DR.. Hansen had asked the
committee officially to support
his opposition. to changing the
age requirement. But the COM
mittee decided to defer action
on this request until after the
brief1ng and hearing.
Works Program Revised
Other board committees yes
terday approved a revised ver-
sion of the six-year public
works program which provides
for the construction in 1865 OF
a new District Teachers Col
Ilege at Thirteenth and Upshul
streets NV. on land already
owned by the District.
The colleges two existing
buildings have long been con-
sidered inadequate for the in
stitution. Both, however, woulc
remain in use under the works
program. The Wilson building
at Eleventh and Harvard streets
NV, would become a junior
high. and the Miner building
Georgia avenue and Euclic
street NV, would become the
new home for the American
Iization School.
Other new projects in th'
proposed six-year program
which must still be approved b!
the full school board next weel
and, eventually, by the Distric
Commissioners, include an ele'
mentary school in the vicinit!
of East Capitol street and thu

The vocational school, which
would serve all girls in the
city, would make it possible to

tional School, Thirteenth and

ton program, which is re-
vised each year, were three

Montgomery OKs
5 Cent Tax Boost
S84.8 Million
Budget Provides
For $2.53 Levy

Montgomery County's tax rate
for the fiscal year beginning
July / was officially set at $2.53,
a scent increase over the cur
rent levy.
County Council m EN- bers
needed only minutes to formal
ize a total budget figure of $84.8
million, a major share of which
1925 million-was allocated
to school construction and
school board operating ex-
.penses. The new budget is $l7.3
million higher than current
spending.
Former County Manager NJ. L.
Reese, before his departure to
accept appointment as city
manager of Miami, Fla. slashed
nearly So million from the
school boards request. Virtually
all of the cuts were restored by
the council in daily sessions
during the past week.
The recent discovery Of a
$500,0 900 school board surplus
facilitated the restoration Of
$4,000 cut by the manager
from the boards $3S.5 million
operating budget.
Cuts Restored
In addition, county heads re-
stored SIS million to the school
construction program, from
which the manager had slashed
$8.2 million. The approved cap
ital budget for the schools now
stands at $19.2 million and will
provide for the construction of
10 new schools.
The managers cuts were null
lifted despite another possible
obstacle, a county charter rule
which requires that at least
five of the seyen council mem
bers vote for increases over the
managers budget. In one in
stance. the councils prelimin-
ary vote favored restoration
of $4,000 to a Montgomery
County Junior College appro-
priation in a four to three mar
gin, but the motion failed be-
cause Of the f1ve-vote rule.
Later. Councilman Joe M.
Kyle. who had voted in the
minority, switched his vote, de-
claring that he believed a nil
nority of the council should
not control the budget.
Result of Rise
The scent tax hike will mean
that the average home owner.
whose house is valued at $40, 900
and assessed at $4,000, will pay
an additional $5 in his county
real estate tax for 1861. The
increase is modest compared to
the 30-cent tax rate increase
approved by the County Council
} a year ago.
Prince Georges County re-
Gently increased its rate IL
cents to $2.42 per $100 assessed
valuation.
Four of the cents added to
the rate won the approval Of
council members in the last
few days. The 4 cents will re-
suit in additional revenue Of
approximately $500,O00, which
will be used for pay-as-you-go
financing of school construc-
ton.
OF the overall $3.50 rate,
$2.l9 is for school operations,
debt service and pay-as-you-go
construction funds. The later
, category will be financed by IL
