AUGUSTA, Ga, April g.
Arnold Palmer unexpectedly
pressed the panic button last
night, sending out a hurried
call for q new driver on the
eve Of the 25th Masters Tour
nament over the superbly
conditioned Augusta National
Course.
Palmer, defending champion
and solid favorite to join Sam
Snead and Jimmy Demarets as
three-time winners. obviously is
lacking confidence in the club
that means so much here.
Joe Wolfe, the club designer
for the sporting goods company
which Palmer represents, hur-
ried to the practice tee before
dark last night with seven new
drivers.
II tried to talk him out. of
It," Wolfe said. This is no
time to be changing clubs, but
you can't talk to him. He
wants to look at another stick" 3"
Position Driving Key
Augusta National has grown
longer in recent years and only
the big, straight hitterS can
win here. Position driving is
so terribly important, and Pal
mer was dissatisfied with the
club that brought him the ST.
500 shafe Of the $87,O5O purse
last year.
But Palmer, like Ben Hogan,
Is a perfectionist and it may
be only a tiny flaw that could
cause him to desert his most
important stick.
There has been little change
in the thinking during the
practice rounds. Gary Player,
the leading money winner, had
seven brides in his first 13
holes yesterday, and has sound
backing.
Jack Nicklaus, perhaps the
finest amateur golfer since
Harvie Wards regime, cannot
be disregarded. Nicklaus' run
nerup role to Palmer in the Ma
tional Open last year is more to
his credit than his amateur
triumphs.
| One of the top pros on the
tour was saying that the win
ner here will come from an es-
tablished player.
There are a lot of guys who
make all the stops who can hit
the ball." the unnamed pro
said, but they reach their
choking point here. This is the
Masters. This is Augusta Ma
tional. You have to like Palmer,
Player or somebody almost as

Rep. Charles MAC" Matthias
last week introduced a bill de.
signed to permit itemized fed

tuition paid to college, univer-

The proposal, fulfilling a

his campaign last year, would
permit tuition deductions up to
a maximum of $500, subject to
the limitation of educational
assistance compensation paid
by the federal government
under present laws. In an

The Rockville Chamber
of Commerce was told Tues
day of extensive expansion
plans by a science-oriented
industry already operating
in the community.
Details of the proposed ex-
pansion of the research and de-
velopment activities of Elec-
tronic Teaching Laboratories,
located on Westmore rd., were
outlined during the regular
weekly luncheon meeting Of the
chamber by Leon Schertler, in
charge of special programs for
the laboratories.
The company, which was
founded ten years ago by John
Medaris, Is also in the process
of establishing a new 300-em-
ploye plant in Hagerstown.
ETH pioneered the applica-
ton of modern technology to
education but recognizes never
theless that "the teacher is the
indispensable element in the
educational process" said
Schertler. With the experience
of having organized almost 200
educational projects around the
world, his company seeks to
find ways to "instill more
knowledge into more minds in
less time with the same proper
tionate numbers of teachers"

ton of relinquishing beer and

Barbee, who has supported
previous unsuccessful efforts

City Hits
Holiday
Glasses

Montgomery County's Board
of Education has been asked by
the Rockville City Council to
reconsider its decision to con-
duct regular class schedules in
public schools on Memorial
Day, May 80.
The councils request was
supported by formal resolu-
ton, adopted by the city govern
ing body Monday night and
noting that Rockville has spon-
sored a community Memorial
Day program for the last 16
years. A similar program is
planned for this year, the reso-
luton said, and city officials are
hopeful for full participation"
The resolution gave official
support to a letter written to
the board of education earlier
by Marshall Armstrong, chair
man for the city's holiday pa
rade com mittee. Armstrong
pointed out that the parade
always has been an attraction
for children, and expressed the
hope that they would be freed
from classes in order to attend.
Despite the vigorous opposi-
ton of citizens of the area
affected, the council agreed to
construct a 26-foot street on the
dedicated portion of Beall ave.
from Forest ave. to N. Van
Buren, st. The street will be
built without permanent curbs
and cutters since members of
the council are considering a
plan to expand it eventually to
width of Sc feet, and trucks
will be banned for the time
being.
An eight-member Teen Center
Advisory Committee, to serve
until April /, 1868, was ap-
pointed to include the follow
ing: Eugene P. Moran, chair
man; James Gaffey, Marvin
Horsley, William Hyman, Mar
garet Streeter, Robert Saloschin,

Designation
By Race May
Be Abolished

The Montgomery County
Council instructed County Man.
ager Mason A. Butcher on Tues
day to look into the feasibility
of eliminating racial designa-
ton from administrative forms
and other county records as a
means of further eliminating
racial discrimination.
The council acted at the re-
quest Of its Commission on
Human Relations, which sug-
gested elimination of the race
designation on all records ex-
cept those in which the distinc-
ton would be beneficial to law
enforcement or the mainten-
ance Of confidential health re-
ports.
The commission conceded the
designations to be OF assistance
in these cases, but expressed
the view that they would be of
questionable value" with re-
gard to polling records, sports
mems licenses, absentee ballots,
applications and other routine
forms.
II expressed the belief that
the use of racial designations on
such forms causes real and
potential harm to human digni-
ty."

Electronic Teaching Labora-

to first listen to an expert pro-

BY reversing the tape recorder,
hearing the expert again and

voice with the experts, the stu
dent may learn to use a new

bers of the county's legislative
delegation urging passage of
the measure, already approved
by the House of Delegates and
awaiting action by the Senate
subject to an amendment which
would alter to some extent the
text of the original bill.
AS originally drafted, the bill
would require public utilities to
pay relocation costs in the event
of enforced moves brought
about by urban renewal prof.
ects. After efforts were launch
ed to revise the measure by
making local renewal agencies
responsible for the cost of re-
locating utilities, tentative
compromise was reached under
which all reference to the cost
of relocation would be deleted.
Direct Negotiations
This would pave the way for
direct negotiation between the
renewal agencies and the utili-
ties on the question of relocation
costs in individual cases.
The Rockville Midtown Mer-
chants Association and the
Rockville Chamber of Com
merce, in separate kilograms to
the delegation, urged approval
of the bill with only the pub
lie utilities amendment" The
wires were signed by Irwin
Schwartz, president of the mer-
chants unit, and Richard M.
Cooperman, executive director
of the trade body.
The third telegram was sent
by a group of local businessmen
affiliated with the chamber,
who requested that no further
amendments to the bill be intro
duced $50 that immediate pass
age shall not be impeded." Sign
ers included Doris Fishman,
Herman Hartman, Ronald j.
Kindness, Glen Koepenick, John
Oxley, jr., Joseph Rodgers, Nor
ris Stern and Frank Williams.
The proposal to subject pub
lie renewal agencies to the ex'
pense of relocating utilities was
disapproved last week by the
Montgomery County Council,
which also is considering an ur-
ban renewal program in some
sectors Of the county. The coun.
Gil expressed the view that the
cost question should be negoti.
ated separately in individual
cases-a procedure provided in

ment.

Hearing Brings
New Resistance
To School Cost
County Council
Gets Views on
Proposed Budget

A strong semblance of
new citizen resistance to
spending proposals of the
Board of Education was de-
tected this week as County
Council hearings opened on the
proposed record county budget
of some $97 million.
In contrast to past years,
when standing-room only au-
diences have thronged hearing
rooms to lend support to the
boards proposals, a relatively
sparse turnout was on hand for
the first school budget session
Monday night at Broome Jun
Tor High School. And opponents
of increased school budget ex-
penditures were literally repre-
scented in the gathering of fewer
than $50 persons.
Last year, the school
boards initial budget hearing
attracted an estimated 14OO
persons, preponderantly In op.
position TO former County
Manager M. L. Reese's recon-.
nendatiOns for sharp cuts In
expenditures.
AS has been the case in the
past, the school boards $67 mil
hon budget proposal drew
strong backing Monday night
from the Montgomery County
Education Association, the
County Council Of Parent
Teachers Associations and indi.
vidual' PTAs. However, the
hearing brought vigorous repre-
sensations from a number Of
other organized groups seeking
to hold the line on current
school expenditures.
Civic Council Objects
The Chevy Chase Civic Coun-
Gil, composed of IL civic organ
izations in the Bethesda Chevy
Chase area, voiced strong objec-
tons to the proposed $11 million
crease in expenditures
through its president, Milton M.
Burke, a Washington attorney,
termed the increase "unrealis-
tic" and contended 1t was mot
commensurate with the rising
cost of living or increasing
school enrolment.
The Chevy Chase council,
Burke said, has approved a
resolution calling on the County
Council to send the budget back

quest that he cut 1t back to the

An almost-total lack of
crimes of vice or violence in
Montgomery County over a
period of some ten weeks has
