Report
Refuted
Breimyer Says
Board Followed
Recommendations

A statement by the educa-
ton committee of the Be-
thesda Chevy Chase Cham
Der of Commerce that no
action followed recommen-
dations of a special advisory
group on school construction
has been refuted by the presi-
dent of the Montgomery Coun-
ty Board of Education.
Harold +. Breimyer said the
education committees state
ment is without basis in fact
in a telegram to James A. Barr,
executive secretary of tn e
Chamber.
During meeting of the
Chambers board of directors,
education chairman Stanley X.
Green said the committee had
submitted a report to the Board
of Education recommending GER
tain changes to effect economies
in the schoolbuilding program
but no action was taken on the
report before dissolution Of the
group.
Breimyer's telegram to Barr
read:
bethesda Chevy Chase Cham
Der of Commerce resolution re-
garding Board of Education
Construction Advisory Commit
tee alleging no action taken on
Committees report is wholly
without basis in fact.
"Policy changes as recon-
mended began within weeks of
receipt of report. New school
facilities department has been
set up as suggested. New archi-
tectural contract now in effect
was drawn up along lines asked
with negotiated lump sum fee
substituted for percentage fee
as was strongly urged.
"Re-use of school plans, also
a primary advice, began quick
ly. A junior high now being
built on reused plans and one
elementary plan now in third
use. Two junior highs now
being designed as single dupli-
Gated project.
Detailed changes such as in
Producing maintenance expert
ence into the design process and
inclusion of site improvement
and landscaping plan in archi-
tectural contract and many
other reflect Committees pro-
posals. Several recommends
tons are still under study.
Far from being disregarded,
Committees recommendations
have been widely adopted and
of great help, saving county
citizens many thousands of dol
lars.
"Your erroneous allegation
was a disservice to the Board
of Education, to the public, and
most of all to the members OF
the Construction Advisory Com
mittee, who deserve credit for
successfully dvancing pro-
posals that have been of untold
benefits"

phonic sound. and big screen
dimensions it thus becomes
more vivid and more real, not
less as so often happens when
surface bigneSs means a sacri-
flee of depth.
From the first shot, an air
view Of New York as civiliza-
tons architectural jewel, the
camera plunges to the jungle
warfare of the streets below.
This is the combat between the
native whites. the Jets and the
Puerto Rican newcomers, the
Sharks.
The throb of tragedy is in
stantly felt in the narrative.
Its tensions are expressed pri-
marily in movement, the strut
ting finger-snapping walk of
the gangs members. It reaches
the peak Of menace in Mr..
Robbins dances, homicidal an
imality climbing from acrobatic
ballet to acrobatic ballet to-
ward a lethal rumble.
Mesmerically, even when one
knows the ending, a ray of hope
CLEANS through the plot flow
of West Side Story" This is
inherent in the instant romance
between Tony, the one-time
leader of the Jets, and Maria,
the lovely, innocent sister of
Bernardo, proud leader of the
Puerto Rican gang.
Love and hate. good and evil,

taposed as in this instance.
The fear of the destructive
emotions is expressed princi-
pally in the dances, the visit
full hope for the others in Com
poser Bernstein's music. This
has been around too long and
become too familiar to need
further rhapsodic description
but it supplies West Side
Story" with a pinnacle bril-
lance, danced or sung, the lat
ter as solo. duet, or chorally.
In stereophonic sound, in
terrupting or intensifying the
fury of the visual flow of the
picture, their impact is greater
than ever. There is a new sting
in America" a new exulta-
ton in Maria" a new poign-
ance in I'm So Pretty"

Yet, in this blending of the
many cleaning elements of
West Side Story" the pictures
genius is that it never forgets
1t is cinema. Cinema with the
highest of aspirations, most of

stream of images that never
falters either in dramatic or

ton proposes to extend mini

tory on o 50-48 roll-call vote
Mr.. Kennedy. then Q Senator
was forced to make major con.
ceSsions to round up enough
votes to defeat the Monroney
Amendment.
Calls Change Essential
Although Senator Monroney
normally Is q supporter Of the
administration, he said his
amendment is essential to "pre-
serve the integrity Of the inter-
state commerce clause" Of the
Constitution. Mr.. Kennedy de-
mics his bill would violate the
commerce clause, and cites
'precedents In other laws.
The Senate Labor Commit.
tee yesterday postponed action
on minimum wage legislation
until April IL. Democratic and
Republican members agreed tt
try to complete committee &C.
ton In one day.
