Board was asked last night to
take emergency action to pre-
vent the transfer Of $50 stu
dents from Mclean High

Butler asked the board to con-
struct 10 temporary classrooms
plus two trailer classrooms at
Mclean and to use an "ermer-
|gency approach" toward con-
struction Of the planned George
Marshall High School near Ty-
sons Corner.
The board, she said, should
reduce the capacity Of the

complete 1t by 1862.
In addition she urged the
board to look for o site for an
additional high school on Old

The Mclean School has q
capacity Of 1.4OO students but
will have 1000 next year, she
said. The board now plans to

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 22.--A
legislative study Of the conflict
Of interest issue has been sug-
gested by o Baltimore member
of the House Of Delegates after
he sharply criticized newspaper
editorials on the subject.
Delegate Marvin Mandei,
chairman Of the Baltimore City
delegation, took issue yesterday
on the House floor with ''met-
ropolitan newspapers" for their
editorial handling Of the con-
flict issue which has over
shadowed the 1861 session Of
the General Assembly.
'"Tfleir feeling seems to be
that to serve in the Legislature
first you must be broke--have
no financial interests in any
thing; second. you must be out
Of business, and finally you
must vote only on those Ques-
tions in which you're not In
tereSted in and therefore know
nothing about" he declared.
Mr.. Mandel said that 1t might
be proper for owners and edl-
tors Of newspapers to disclose
their Gown personal interests
before publishing editorials On
controversial questions.

Mr.. Mandel's comments came
up as o result Of articles pub
liShed yesterday about House
Democratic Majority Leader A.
Gordon Boone. Democrat Of
Baltimore County, owning stock
in Baltimore Raceway, a mar
ness track which would be
benefited by q bill which Mr..

MFR. Mandel suggested that
the time has come for a broad
legislative study of the con-
flict-of interest question.

that he bought his shares Of

LEGISLATIVE RECORD
Continued from Saturday.
Mr.. GOMEZ MIR. Chairman.
THE PRESIDENT: Senator Gomez.

# 49, = l1D1DLl 1CAdC 6OIACA
Mr. GOMEZ It seems to me thatswe are about to
spend the afternoon on Sanitation. But, I would like to
say this. Senator de Lugo has made some very good sug-
~gestions. believe he would like to see a ~first-class toilet
facility, particularly in French Town.
He spoke about the walls being porous in some Of
these toilets and so forth. I believe that the agency who
takes care Of sanitation can't just pass the buck. When
it comes to that, it means the Sanitary Department, the
Commissioner of Health-they are the ones who are res
ponsible. Now, a coat of paint would take care of all the
porous walls but this high-faluting thing about Wainscot-
ing the Wal,it seems to me, that would be fine for a
private home. Mr.. Chairman, when you are going to
Wainscot a wall, you're going to put tiles at a tremen-
dous height, nearly a mans height. / think tha's going
the limit. / think we can do better than that. We should
have people to give proper attention to the few toilets
we have around town but having a man sent in in the
morning and not coming back until next morning to
look after them wouldn't solve our problem. You have
to keep a man steady on the go otherwise you cannot
keep your toilets in order. That's understood Mr.. Chair
man.
Another thing, as Mr.. Maduro said, is about the
garbage. The garbage unfortunately is still under the
Public Works Department, true enough. 1t should be
under Sanitation, But / do know this, that very often
Public Works was willing to give it up but Sanitation
wasn't willing to take it on under any account. Andthat
happened from during the time OF Governor HASTE.
They said they would have to have an entire staff to
make repairs and What-not because Public Works has
its own trucks to attend to and they can't be shifting
lASAA ~ eAACAA3 vi oNLNAAAS NAN4A#
trucks down there, it Wouldb be embarrassing, which is
true.
And, about the smelly cutters. Mr.. Chairman, 7
remember making suggestions to solve that problem,
but the present incumbent Wasns willing to take it at
that time. But, I do believe the new Public Works Com
missioner, whoever he may be, might be able to do
something to correct that, But, you cannot prevent stag
nant water in the gut if you don't keep a staff Of masons
and SO on pointing those cutters off and on. AS far as I
know the cutters used to be given proper attention in
the early American Administration, that's around 1917,
l8. | know that they kept two masons all the time to
repair whatever mansonry is broken. And, one was as
signedNto pointing cutters all along. But you still had
the smell then, but of course, not as bad as it is now.
that's over a number ofsyears. now, over Is or more
years, they haven't been pointing any cutters.
So, Mr.. Chairman, / believe that what we should
do is insist that the cutters be kept in proper order.
When say 50, don't allow any spaces in the cutters for
sediment, point the cutters regularly.
And, this is another suggestion because may not
