by Democrats. 1t seems q
huge task. But the G. o. p.
leaders point out their party
lost some 40 House seats to
Democrats in 1860 by narrow
margins. Also, they say, it
has been a rule that the
party in control of the
national Government almost
invariably loses congress
sional seats in an election
which comes in the middle Of
a presidential term.
The three Republican chair
men, Mr.. Miller, Mr.. Wilson
and Senator Goldwater, are
all hard = hitting, vigorous
campaignerS. All are intent on
building party organizations
from the ground up. They are
all good speakers and are
bound together to win in
the 1862 elections. Should
they succeed in bringing
about the election of a Re-
publican House Of Represen-
tatives, or even coming close
to that goal, and should Mr..
Nixon be elected Governor
of California Cor some other
Republican win that office
and should Gov. Rockefeller
win reelection, the race for
the 1864 Republican pre.-
dential nomination will be a
honey. For major Republican
gains next year would give
a real prospect of victory
in 1864.
First Things First
Mr.. Wilson. the new Re-
publican Congressional Com
mittee chairman, has been
closely associated with Mr..
Nixon in past campaigns. He
has announced, however, that
he has no candidate for the
presidential nomination in
1854" that his whole concern
today is the election Of a Re-
publican House next year.
National Chairman Miller,
while he halls from Gov.
Rockefeller's State, was a
pro-Nixon man in 1860. He.
like Mr.. Wilson, has taken the
stand that the job ahead Of
the Republicans is victory in
the congressional and guber-
material elections next year
without reference to the
presidential race in 1864.
Whatever S tor Gold
waters personal ambitions
may be, he is keeping them in
leash, and is talking only Of
winning next year and Of
giving the G.. o. P. a conserv-
ative image.
The pro-Nixon forces in the
G. o. P. are naturally pleased
with the choice of Mr.. Wilson
to head the Republican Con-
gressional Committee. They
realize that their candidate
has. lost some ground since
the election last November.
But they still are hopeful Mr..
Nixon will make a strong
comeback. They recall that
the Democrats In 1856 gave a
second presidential nomina-
ton to Adlai Stevenson, al
though Mr.. Stevenson had
been terribly beaten oy Gen,
Eisenhower in 1852. They
figure that Mr.. Nixon. who
lost by so few votes in 1860,
should be able to win a sec
ond nomination at the hands
of the Republican Party. In
such an event, Mr.. Wilson
might-and the word is used
advisedly-move to a national
Craftsmanship.
The new Republican or
ganization has three rather
youthful-as well as energetic
heads. Senator Goldwater,
the oldest, is So. Mr.. Miller is
At, and Mr.. Wilson As.

Three counselors at the Chill

have denied the District Gov
charges of violating
regulations in the accidental
scalding death of a 17-year-old
boy.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea recommended their dis
missal after an investigation
into the death last month.
None of the three is the
counselor in charge when the
boy, Conrad Anderson, died at
Cedar Knoll, a training school
for delinquentS.
Mr.. Shea identified the coun-
selors as Irving Bevans, 40,
senior counselor; Henry c.
Perkins, AZ, and Lennon
Wyche, As.
Mr.. Bevans is accused Of
failing to instruct his sub
ordinates on department regu-
lations forbidding students to
be left unattended. The two
junior counselors are charged
with leaving students unat-
tended.
The Anderson youth died
when he broke a heating pipe
in a barred detention room
while alone in a cottage. An
other counselor, Willie Wheel
er, %, who placed the boy in
the room, was suspended for
10 days.
The three counselors whose
dismissal was recommended
by Mr.. Shea are represented
by Booker T. Smalley and
Bruce R. Harrison, attorneys.
Mr.. Smalley said his clients
are being used as "scapegoatS"
by the Welfare Department to
offset the public Juror

In the elementary grades, one

of better trained science teach

The group also recommended
that more attention be de-

Counties Set
Study toFix
Boundary
By JAMES ROWLAND
Star Staff Writer

That 13-mile, haZy Prince
Georges Montgomery County
boundary line is about to be
marked permanently.
A point of dissension for more
than two centuries, the line
running from the Districts
northwest boundary to the Pa
tuxent River will be ironed out
under a joint agreement by
the two counties.
The Prince Georges commits
sioners yesterday gave their
attorney, Robert B. Matthias,
the go-ahead on an agreement
by which each county will
share the cost Of a survey
team equally. A price tag can
not be tied to the survey prof.
ect until it's completed, Mr..
Matthias said.
He said it would take about
80 days to do the job-pin-
pointing three markers. Mont
gomery in January agreed to
participate in the survey.
THE first was on Eastern
avenue before it was removed
by road builders. The District
still has the records " MFR
Matthias said.
The others are at Colesville-
Pisgah Church road, and the
BurtonSville Laurel road, he
added. From then on it's about
a mile to the Patuxent.
The marks will be put on
U. S. Geodetic Survey maps
and made part Of the State CO.
ordinate records.
Engineers and assessors from
each county then will take over
and lay the final line according
to where each county has col
lected taxes. The result is ex-
pected to forever clear up the
jurisdictional problem that has
plagued both tax collectors anc
policemen.
The boundary line fog settled
in 1748 when Maryland es-
tablished Frederick County
from land previously in Prince
Georges. The description re-
ferred to land lying west o.
"a line beginning at the love-
side Of the mouth of Rocl
Creek"

lay in 1748 is the big question

address Of the registered agent
for both firms had been the
same, some of the directors
had been the same and the
two firms had been linked in
a number of court cases.
Judge Hyde also noted that
two directors of the finance
company last year agreed be-
fore a Federal Trade Commis-
sion examiner that they, and
several others, actively q.
controlled" the acts of the
dealer.
Control Noted
1T would be blind folly to
say that a corporation whose
officers and directors exercise
this type of controD are not
responsible for the fraud of
the agents of the other cor
poration," he said.
The finding for Mr.. and
Mrs. Franklin came after their
lawyer, Kaletah N. Carroll,
filed a counterclaim to the
finance company'S suit for
money allegedly due after the
repoSSeSSion.
Attorneys for the finance
company said yesterday they
plan to appeal Judge Hyde'S

Death of Child
Spurs Review
Of Procedure

The chairman Of the Fair
fax County School Board will
ask for a review Of all school
bus safety procedures because
of the death of q 9-year-old
girl who was run over by the
school bus that took her home.
Chairman Theodore s. Heriot
said last night the board would
certainly review all safety
procedures and take any
added precautions necessary"
At the same time Assistant
Commonwealth Attorney Ralph
Louk said the county police
would investigate the safety
training given the high school
students who drive buses and
the enforcement Of the State
Board of Education regulations
on the vehicles.
The investigations began sf-
ter a school official disclosed
the customary student safety
patrol assigned to all buses
was not guarding the crossing
at the Fairchild- -Convair road
stop where the child, Teresa
Ann LuscynSki, Of 3007 Grum-
man place, Hybla Valley, was
killed Thursday afternoon.
Picking Up Umbrella
The girl, a fourth grade pupil
at Groveton Elementary School,
had stopped to pick up an
umbrella she had dropped when
the school bus started up,
police said.
The left front side Of the bus
apparently struck her. knock
ing her beneath the rear wheel,
which ran over her, police said.
Police said the bus driver,
Harry Francis Scott, jr., II. a
Groveton High School senior,
told them he thought the Is
pupils who got off at the Fair
child drive stop had all crossed
the street.
Regulations of the State
Board Of Education require
that a student safety patrol
member be assigned on each
bus to guard all school bus stops
and crossings. A patrol stu
dent is supposed to get off the
bus at each stop and guard the
crossing with a flag until all
children have crossed.

and the other off, were aboard

Still another study group
criticized the board for failing
to provide a comprehensive
program for education beyond

that the county should clarity
its aims in that area and should
admit students to junior col
lege courses only in those areas
in which they are qualified.

the group noted, is required to
admit any county high school
graduates, including those "who
are unacceptable to any other
college or university"
Social Science Section
A study group on social
sciences reported that "the
social studies course is made
the dumping ground for any
kind of learning that does not
fit anywhere else"
AS a consequence, the COM
mittee stated, "the choice of
topics becomes Of secondary
concern, and the attempt to
find history or geography con-
tents often produces desperate
results (such as bird banding
as history content). We find
such attempts at best futile, at
worst harmful"
The observers lamented "the
sight OF little clumps Of chill
dren copying phrases, coloring
maps or pasting while the
teacher is busy only with one
small group"
Lack Of Preparation Found
The report questioned the
wisdom of studying by commit
tees, observing that when a
pupil goes into the seventh
grade, he is unprepared for
systematic hard work.
Immediate steps should be
taken to remedy the lack oi
uniformity in the individual
classrooms, the school and the
county as a whole" it is con-
tended. "The Seventh-gradt
geography and history teacher
must be spared the job oi

school has taught all children

of our knowledge, failed tC

graduate"
