A District official said yes
terday the apparent low bic
of the first work for construc-
ton of the Potomac inter-
cepter sewer to Dulles Airport
was 80 per cent below the esti-
mated cost Of the project.
David v. Aud, director of the
District Sanitary Engineering
Department, told a Washing
| ton Metropolitan Regional Con-
ference Committee that if fu-
ture bids on other sections OF
the sewer continue this trend
he is confident the entire line
along with the four proposed
spurs. can be built at a cost
within the $28 million author
lied by Congress.
The apparent low bid Of
$1.849,123 received yesterday
was submitted by Greenwood
& Majestic, Chicago, Mr.. Auld
told the conferences Water
Supply and Pollution Abate-
ment Committee. He added
that this was one of IL bids.
Tunnel Planned
This first project on the
huge 30-mile-long sewer pro-
vides for tunneling through
rock from Anglers Inn to
Great Falls on the Maryland
side Of the river.
Mr.. Auld said work on this
portion of the sewer job would
probably begin within about go
days. He added that the entire
sewer line should be completed
by the summer of 1868.
The District officials de-
scribed the apparentlow bid for
the first section Of the sewer
project as very encouraging"
Previously there has been
considerable apprehension that
the proposed sewer and its lat
eral lines could not be con-
structed within the amount of
money authorized by Congress.
This sewer will be built from
the District boundary line to
the airport in order to reduce
to a minimum the amount of
treated sewage discharged into
the Potomac Immediately above
the intakes for Washington's
water supply at Great Falls and
Little Falls.
In another development at
the meeting. Mrs. Anne Will
kins. president Of the Fairfax

Wagner and Bregmon
Debate Legal Issues

Stan Bregman, candidate for
commemorative attorney in
Alexandria's July II Democratic
primary. last night charged the
incumbent, Earl F. Wagner
with gross inefficiency."
Mr.. Bregman made the charge
at a debate between him and
Mr.. Wagner before the Del
Ray Citizens Association at the
No. 2 FirehouSe.
Mr.. Bregman cited the case
of a man who was given a sus-
pended sentence on condition
of good behavior after a VOL
untary manslaughter convic-
ton in 1858. The man later was
convicted Of five misdemeanorS
before his conviction on a sec
ond degree murder charge last
year.
Never at any time did the
commonwealth attorneys Of
flee move to revoke the original
suspended sentence on the first
killing charge" Mr.. Bregman

OF Park Bill

A proposal to acquire the
| 784-acre Great Falls woodlands
in Fairfax County, Va, for the
National Capital Parks system
got a generally friendly hear
ing today from a House sub
committee. But an open end"
appropriation feature of the
bill drew scorn:
Representative Rutherford,
Democrat of Texas, chairman
of the Subcommittee on Interior
and InSular Affairs, said the bill
would not be sent to the House
without a ceiling on the ex-
penditureS involved.
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican of Virginia, introduced
the bill and testified for it
before the committee today. 1t
would permit the largest park
acquisition in the area since
the establishment of Rock
Greek Park.
The bill would authorize the
Secretary of Interior to ac-
quire the woodlands from the
Potomac Electric Power Co.,
from which the department
now leases the land. In ex-
change, the Secretary would
give PEPCO the 39l-acre Blue
Ponds park area IL miles north
of Washington on the Balti-
more Washington parkway.
The difference between the
fair market value of the two
properties would be equalized
through donations or, if neces-
sary, appropriated funds.
Conrad L. Wirth, director of
the National Park Service. told
the subcommittee through an
aide today that he felt reason
ably sure that all the cash
would be donated by interested
parties he already has con-
tacted.
But Representative Aspinall,
Democrat of Colorado, chair
man of the full committee,
backed Representative Ruther-
ford in insisting that a ceiling
be placed on the amount the
Government could spend.
The land acquired would not
affect the 16-acre park now
owned and operated by Fair
fax County in the center of the
PEPCO-owned area.

I Attendance would still add up
to 180 days q year.
Maximum Use Of Schools
The point of the plan, the
superintendent explains, is that
in year-around operation the
county would be making maxi
mum use of its school facilities.
They would not be lying idle
during the summer months. He
told school board members that
the plan would thus permit
reduction in school conStruc-
ton over the next five years of
as much as $50 million. That,
he added, also takes into con-
sideration the 81 million neceS-
sary to air condition the build
ings-a necessity. he feels, If
the schools are to operate
throughout the year.
The 12-month plan is typi-
cal of Montgomery's penchant
for new frontiers in school
matters.
Involved this time is the type
of school buildings the county
plans to build.
WindOwIeSs Schools
From now on, 1t appears,
most of them will be air-con-
ditioned and "windowless."
If so, they'll be the first in
the area.
The Board of Education gave
approval to the first such plan
last month. AS was the case
with the year-round program,
the move proved a highlight of
the year. 1t did so because it,
too, proved controversial.

ARLINGTON PLANS TO PUSH
IMMUNIZATION OF PUPILS

The Arlington County Health Department will take
immediate steps to fill the immunization gap among
school children there.
The action comes after a report by Dr. Marjorie F..
Hughes. director of the county public school health
department which showed that while pre-schoo children
generally have had all of their injections school children
haven't.
In study Of 1854 children in the first six grades
Of the Jamestown Mckinley Cherrydale, Drew Custis
Patrick Henry and Lee Elementary Schools and in
eighth grades at Williamsburg and Thomas Jefferson
Junior High Schools it shown that there wide
spread deficiencies in the immunzaton against polio
smallpox dphtheria. whoopng cough and tetanus
"Pre-school age children" DR.. Hughes said, "have
almost all had complete immunzaton
las the children grow older, however, parents often
forget that the mmunization needs to be by
booster shots every three to four years."
The County Health Department will set up a new
clinic to immunize Schooage children Previously
such service has been offered only to pre-school
children.

Lost Of q Series

" last week that the county
as soon as possible-operate its
school on a 12-month basis.
According to officials in
Rockville, it is the only plan
Of its kind in the Nation.
DR.. Whittier proposed the
move on June 13. providing a
fitting climax to a bustling
year which was filled with
Montgomery innovations.
Unlike the other changes,
the plan for round-the-year
schools was not even hinted at
by Montgomery officials last
fall when they listed their
1960-61 goals.
In September they told The
Star that the big effort this
year would be put on the OPEN
ing of IL new buildings. This,
it was hoped, would put an
end to most double shift
classes.
All But One
The plan worked we'll and
all but one new school actually
opened their doors.
Now, with the plan for year.
around schools, you have some
thing new to talk about" one
county spokesman says.
So have Montgomery parents.
What DR.. Whittier proposed
was this:
Montgomery County students
would attend school three
periods a year, each period run
ming IL weeks. The periods
would be separated by one
month vacations.
A students year might be
scheduled as follows:
July S to September %,
school; September "a to Octo-
ber %, vacation; October "a
to January q, school; January
% to February 26, vacation;
February 27 to May "a, school,
and May Is to June "a, vaca-
ton.
The plan, DR.. whittier
stresses, does not mean an in
crease in the number of days
a student would be in school.

AII-Yeor School Starts Talk

Board approval of prelmin-
airy plans for Randolph and
Parkland Junior Highs-to be
ready in the fall of 1963-fol-
lowed weeks of debate GEN.
tered around parental concern
that schools should have plenty
of windows.
The only board member OPP
posing the plans was Robert
E. Morrow. who said the Ran
dolph and Parkland buildings
would look like warehouses"
According to the architects
plans. however. the schools
would not be without windows,
although the number would be
far fewer than in conventional
buildings. Only in the cafeteriaS
and libraries would windows
face out-of-doors. The others
would face the buildings in
terror halls, which in turn
would open onto an open-air
courtyard in the center Of the
buildings.
The year was a successful
one. too, according to DR..
Whittier, in that opening of
the new schools listed last
September did succeed in
sharply reducing the number of
Montgomery students attend
ing classes on a part-day
basis.
When the school year be-
gan, some $500 youngsters
were forced into halliday ses-
Sions, but by January l, the
number had been cut to prac-
tically nothing. The exceptions
were a few small groups at
Rock Greek Palisades Elemen-
tary.
The cut was made possible
with the opening of a, record
number Of new buildings-l1.
Included were eight elemen-
taries, one primary, one junior
high and one high.
Languages Extended
They are Forest Knolls, Hol-
iday Park, Whittier Woods,
Georgian Forest, Cedar Grove,
Hungerford, Travilla and
S Springbrook elementaries;
Poolesville Primary; Gathers
burg Junior High, and Robert
E. Peary High.

time for the 1960-61 year, but

coming fall term, DR.. Whittier
says.
Like other area school syS-
TENS. Montgomery this year also
achieved what Rockville Off
cials call real accomplish
in the upgrading of its
curriculum.
Perhaps the most notable was
the carefully planned extern
sion of its foreign language pro-
gram at the elementary level.
The year in Montgomery also
was marked by the reappoint-
ment of DR.. Whittier to a new
term. Finishing out his first
one. the new one will take him
through 1865.

Mr.. Horse Sense

TNHIS Fall, Americas oldest and SageSt
railbird will be rounding out rs years of
close connection with the American turf. Ever
since he got his first job in 1874, cooling out
horses on track long since demolished, "Mr.
Fitz" has been fixture at railside. jockey
until weight overlook him, Sunny Jim" Fitz-
simmons turned to training. For quarter of
century, he worked steadily with top thorough
bredS, and in 1924 he became the trainer for
the Belair Stud, one ofthe EaSt'S major stables.
Over the years, he has been closely associated
with the bluest bloods among thOrOughbreds
and owners, training horses for several of the
leading patrons of the turf. His top horses,
Bold Ruler, Nashua JohnstOwn, Apache and
Fighting Fox, read like a roster of turf i'm
mortals of the last quarter century
Generally acknowledged to be the wisest
man among horse handlers, Mr.. Fitz reigns as
dean of the Eastern racing colony. Anything
he doesn't know about horses is because
horses can't talk directly. However, when it
comes to spOtting trouble or to getting horse
finely tuned for major race, FitzsimmOns has
no peer Other trainers readily bring him prob
lens to solve, and jockeys, as well as owners
and fans, eagerly seek his advice.
while back, three veteran trainers Mr..
MAX Vi GhtC ming ENdHCIl, anu oGh
Jones of Calumet were discussing, naturally,
horses. With at least so years of experience
apiece the three wise men of the turf decided
that the best trainer was the man who had the
best horse. What that means in the hard
bitten language of the tote board is that theory
is all right, but they pay off on winners.
AS the leading money-winning trainer five
times, Mr.. Fitz has not lost sight Of the cost
ofthe racing. These days when $lOO, 900 purses
are commonplace, he sort of shakes his head
and thinks back to his early days on the racing
scene. Says he; 81 once walked a horse from
Eagle track near Chester, Pa, to Marcus Hook,
about Is miles away. Then rode him two heats
and walked him back. Purse was SIS and
earned quarter"
With some SO living descendants, many of
whom still help him out in his training chores,
Mr.. Fitz draws upon family pool to carry on
his training chores Some jobs he entrustS to
Evening star., 1961-11-05

sons and grandsons, but when there's promis
ing yearling among his stock, it's FitzSimmonS
himself who watches over his progress. Up at
the first rooster crow, Mr.. Fitz perches at rail
side, StOpwatch and binoculars at the ready,
to observe his equine talent at work. Rain or
shine he comes out to watch workouts and
races. When one of his horses is going in a
race at the new Aqueduct track or at Belmont
in New York, or at Saratoga, Mr.. Fitz is usually
on hand to watch from a special spot near the
winners circle.
Evening star., 1961-11-05

Always alert to the chance of having turf
immortal among his new crop of twO-year-Olds,
Sunny Jim has a keen eye for a colt or filly
that shows burst of speed. Though he thinks
Bold Ruler is just about the fastest horse he
ever saw, Fitzsimmons.never ceases to believe
that better racer is just around the corner.
Racing is a game for young horses. Mr.. Fitz,
as he winds up his 10th year on the turf, thinks
that helps him keep youthful spirit, too.
