FREDERICK, Md, May 10
Viewed from any angle. it was
a strange day for a 15-year-
old boy.
Robert w. CButch) Upton, a
slim teen-ager from Port To-
bacco, Md, was the key figure
in yesterdays opening session
Of a $2.9 million damage suit
resulting from a freak acci-
dent in which he lost both
arms by coming in contact with
a high-tenSion wire.
The suit was filed by the
boys parents against the
Southern Maryland Electric Co.
Operative. The case was moved
to Frederick from Charles
County on a request by the
utility for a change of venue.
Robert sat next to his mother
behind the ,counSel'S table as
the trial neared its scheduled
opening at 10 am. With them
were his father, Robert C. Tip
ton, and a youngear brother.
Lawyers Arrive
There was an air of expec-
fancy in the courtroom as the
Tipton'S legal staff of four,
headed by Arthur j. Hilland,
took their places next TO three
lawyers for the utility COM
pany.
A panel Of 20 talesmen from
whom the jury would be drawn
waited for the appearance of
Judge C. Ralph Warnken, but
the scene changed abruptly
when all the lawyers involved
were called to the judges
chambers.

Burket followed weeks OF dis
cussion which centered around
the concern of some county
parents that schools should
have plenty of windows.
The only board member op-
posing the plans was Robert E.
Morrow, who said the Randolph
and Parkland buildings would
look like warehouses"
The schools, to cost SIT mil
hon each, would be completed
in time for the opening Of the
faH term in 1868, School Supt.
G, Taylor Whittier said.
Actually, as Mr.. Burket has
planned them, the buildings
would not be without windows,
though the number would be
far fewer than i'll conventional
schools. Only in the cafeterias
and libraries would windows
face out-of door. allowing the
entrance Of daylight.
Windows Inside
The Burket sketches, drawn
up. more than a month ago at
the suggestion of the board,
call for no classroom windows
on the outside walls. All win
COWS would face the schools
interior halls. The halls and
few of the claSsrooms would
have windows which faced a
small, open-air courtyard in
the center of the building, but
most Of the light would be
artificial.
The purpose Of the new de-
sign, officials said, is to con-
struct school buildings more
cheaply and at the same time
