Potomac Bill
Urges Lead
ByVirginio
By a star star Writer

RICHMOND. Jan. 26.-Vir-
ginia today was asked to take
the lead in additional steps to
clean up the Potomac River.
Maryland, Virginia, the Dis
trict Of Columbia, West Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania now
are signatories to a Potomac
River Compact that seeks to
keep pollution of the stream
to a minimum.
State Senator John A. K.
Donovan. of Fairfax, intro
duced legislation in the Gen.
eral Assembly today that
shows concern for conservation
Of the water supply and soil
erosion in the basin feeding
into the stream.
His bill would extend the
Potomac River Basin Commits
sion's influence into the field of
water supply and soil conSer-
vation, without encroaching
upon the power of State regu-
latory agencies, he said.
This bill will not take away
any enforcement powers from
the Virginia Water Control
Board or the water control
boards of any of the other
States" Senator Donovan said.
Senator Donovan was chair
man of the Interstate Com
mission on the Potomac River
Basin in 1857 and 1858. At
that time he appointed David
Auld. sanitary engineer of the
District of Columbia, who now
heads the commission, to act
as chairman of a special study
committee on the Potomac
River problems.
The legislative proposal is
partly an outgrowth of Mr..
Auld's findings, Senator Dono-
van said.
A bill was introduced in the
House of Delegates yesterday
calling on the Commission on
Aging to devise and promote a
Statewide plan for the estab-
lishment Of local and regional
homes for the aged.
The measure would have
nursing facilities included in
the homes. 1t also provides
that the State pay up to $780,
900 Of the construction costs of
such homes when three or more
localities participate in building
one.
Localities would bear the cost
of maintenance and operations
Of the homes, under terms of
the bill sponsored by Delegate
Harrison Mann of Arlington.
Mr.. Mann also introduced a
bill which would authorize
State institutions of higher
learning to issue revenue ponds
to build dormitories for mar
ried students. Mr.. Mann said
present laws permit such action
only for single students.

BILL ASKS CURB .
ON AIRPORT SALE
OF INSURANCE

RICHMOND (AP).-
Delegate Edward Lane Of
Richmond suggested today
that the Legislature CON-
slider doing away with the
sale of insurance policies
by machines at airports.
In preparing to intro
duce such a bill, Mr.. Lane
said THE rash of aviation
accidents and the refer
ences to the use of bombs
. and suicide focuses atten-
ton on the sale of inSur-
ance policies easily and
quickly obtainable through
machines at airports for rel
atively nominal amounts"
He said that it would
seem persons bent on COM
mitting suicide may be en-
couraged to attempt to
increase the financial BEN
eft to their families, in
addition to their existing
insurance, by purchasing
as much trip insurance at
an airport as possible and
thus taking this method
of destroying themselves
and, incidentally, m a ny
other people"

victim, Jacob D. Kozak, 43, of
49l5 Monroe street, Bladens-
burg. was interfering in a family
argument when he came to the
aid Of Mrs. Savage who was
sitting on the ground besides
the car screaming.
Savage said that after Mr..
Kozak approached their car,
Il told him this was a family
argument and for him to leave.
The only reason why I went
after him was because
thought he had the keys to
my car"
Another witness, Air Force
Sergt. James T. Chapman, jr.,
of 2730 Richmond highway,
Alexandria, testified he stopped
behind the Savage car Just
after Mr.. Kozak. He said Mrs.
Savage was holding a baby and
screaming for help.
The keys were removed from
Mr. Savage's car to detain him
until police arrived, Sergt.
Chapman said. He testified
that Mr.. Kozak. who was
brandishing a steel rod, was
retreating from Savage when
he backed into the path Of the
car.
Mrs. Savage, testifying for
the defense, said she was in
toxicated and was angry with
her husband because he was
taking her home. She said she
demanded that he stop the car,
and she fell out onto the
ground with their 20-months-
old son.
Il was crying Historically
and making a complete fool Of
myself" she said. Il feel Its
entirely my fault. II I'd be-
haved, none Of this would have
happened"
Mrs. Savage testified she
called to Mr.. Kozak, a stranger,
for aid. She said Mr.. Kozak
was trying to help her keep
her husband from putting their
son back in the car. She said
that at no time did her hus-
band beat her or their son.

candidates in at least 10 hours
Of classroom work, with the
emphasis on teacher ability.
"Only a negligible percentage
. about a dozen of the
eligible teachers did not choose
to be considered" DR.. Whittier
told a press briefing session
prior to last nights board
meeting. THE plan has been
accepted remarkably we'll be-
cause it was participated in all
along the line by teachers
themselves"
He pointed out that Mont
gomery County's plan is "tai-
lor-made for our own situa-
tion," with nothing comparable
elsewhere in the country. There
are career plans in Florida,
California and New York, but
none Of them has a review
board like Montgomery's. Eli
gible teachers who failed to get
merit raises may appeal to the
review board.
DR.. Whittier emphasized
that this is not a cheaper way
of providing education, but
simply a more effective means
Of providing better classroom
instruction"
For the so teachers who did
not reach the top level, he said,
program would be mapped
out by principals and super
visors so that every teacher
would have an equal opportunity
TO achieve the fullest in career
recognition.
Teachers will be notified Of
their acceptance or rejection
Immediately, DR.. Whittier said,
and the salary will be retro
active to September /, 1859.

The council is expected to SCI

action.
More County Funds
An appropriation from coun.
ty funds Of $24 million, ar
increase Of $3.4 million over
this year, would be required tc
meet anticipated costs of oper-
ating schools.
Next years proposed school
construction budget would re-
quire the county to provide $lS

this year.
The operating budget request
approved last night is $1.3 mil
lion less than Supt. c. Taylor
Whittier's recommendation. The
board reductions included pro-
visions for % additional teach
ers in the elementary grades
A proposed building program
was adopted at an earlier
meeting.
The $470.o0o cut in the pre-
viously proposed county con-
tribution to the operating budg-
ct was made on motion Of board
member William r. Thomas
III, who said that 100000 OF
this could be anticipated as a
surplus at the end of the pres
ent fiscal year.
Teacher Pay Surplus
The remaining $4,000, he
said, would result as surplus in
the teacher salary fund during
the l960-6l fiscal year. No
school system, he explained
needs funds to meet the maxi
mum salary Of all teachers be-
cause many will drop out during
the school year. The teacher
replacements are seldom paid
at the rate OF the teachers they
replace because the replace
ments' qualifications usually
are not as high.
In previous years, the board
has been criticized by the coun-
ty manager for failing to trim
the budget by the amount OF
anticipated surpluses.
Mr.. Thomas said the school
system had personnel account
curpluSes Of $206, 900 in l957-5s
and 1857 900 in 1958-59.
DR.. Whittier told the board
he was fearful" that loss Of
the surplus funds would de-
prive the system Of a financial
cushion in the event Federal
aid funds are reduced by Con-
greSS.

Congress Will Adjourn Before the Conventions

WASHINGTON, R Congress headed today into what could but probably Won't-be the final week of its 1860 session.
 The decision whether it closes up shop next Saturday or carries over into the following week, or even beyond, rests largely with the House Rules Committee, That group is sitting on two major must" measures and soon may be perched on a third.
 The trio of key bills deal with minimum wages, federal aid to education, and medical care for the aged.
 Congressional leaders see little chance of final adjournment by the weekend, but that is their goal. They fear the session will carry over into next week but are dead set against returning after the national political con- VentlOnS.
 That means final adjournment not later than July g or early on the morning of July 10, the eve of the Democratic convention in Los Angeles starting July II.
 It also means that many bills not of pressing nature will die because there will be no time to consider them in the usual ad- journmnet rush.

Recreation Tract Offered to State

WASHINGTON, R - Alaska will have an opportunity to ob- tain a l,900-acre tract of public recreation land 12 miles northeast of Anchorage under an order an- nounced Saturday by Secretary of Interior Seaton.
 The Bureau of Land Manage ment explained the land former ly was withdrawn from the pub lie domain for army purposes but the army no longer needs it. The ELM has declared it valuable for potential development as public recreation area.
 With the land being restored to public domain, Alaska will have 91 days in which to select the area under one of it's land grants. The state then could develop it for public recreation purposes "or make other appropriate arrange ments for the area" the Depart ment said.
 Should the state not select the land in 91 days, local govern ments or non-profit organizations would have Is months in which to file applications for lease or purchase of the land under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act. This law is designed to en- courage recreational and other public use development of public domain land
 Under the act. the Department said, local government or non- profit group may buy the land at its appraised value or at a dis count depending on the type of public use involved.

Venezuela Chief Exec Hurt in Bomb Assassination Try
By RICHARD c. MASSOCK

CARACAS. Venezuela, R-His face swollen and hands bandaged as a result of the bomb blast that narrowly missed killing him, President Romulo Betancourt pressed a search over the weekend for those behind the plot.
 Betancourt, back in Miraflores Palace after being treated in a hospital for injuries, told repor- ters the attack was part of a wide spread plan to overthrow his government and set up a new dictatorship.
 "The incident shows that the enemies of democracy - national and international will resort to every possible means to try to establish yranny in the country" Betancourt told neWsmen.
 Venezuela's borders were sealed off, air travel halted and some constitutional guarantees sus- pended to facilitate the search.
 Defense Minister Lopez Henri quez who sat next to Betancourt and was burned when the bomb went off, alerted the country's armed forces against any attempt to overthrow the Presidents three-party coalition government.
 Three persons were reported killed and eight wounded in the blast, which marked the third as. sassination plot against Betan- court.
