Walter N. Tobriner, the new
president of the Board of Com
misSioners, believes the Dis
trict's most urgent problem is
improving relations with Con-
greSs.
Mr.. Tobriner said he feels
the basic trouble has been lack
Of communication.
THE gentlemen on the Hill
are just as responsible and just
as concerned with District af-
fairs as we are. We must en-
courage a partnership rather
than a series of conflicts" he
said in an interview.
The Senate traditionally has
shown more sympathy toward
District government problems
than the House. On the House
side, the key Congressman are
members Of the two committees
which pass on the city'S legisla-
tive and budget proposals.
Mr.. Tobriner. who was elec-
ted to the board presidency Fri
day after he was sworn in as
the city's new Commissioner,
said he thought a major hurdle
to the District building pro-
grams has been "a lack Of get
ting through-by us to Con-
greSS and by Congress to us"
The latest city setback came
Friday when the House Appro-
priations Committee indorsed q
deficiency subcommittee's rec
ommendation to reject the Dis
trict's request for a Sc million
Federal payment to help keep
the city's fiscal program afloat.
Last Monday, Commissioner
Robert E. Mclaughlin ran into
open hostility from some mem
bers Of the House District Com
mittee when he appeared to
testify for the city's proposed
tax program. Mr.. Tobriner sue
ceeded Mr.. Mclaughlin as
board president, the city's Off
cial spokesman.
The city's recent history with
Congress includes repeated de-
featS to win appropriations of
the full authorized annual
Federal payment. a strikeout
on efforts to obtain tax in
creases last year, and rejection
Of some Of the Districts major
legislative proposals. including
two additional judges for Juve-

to enter more than one rapid
learning field, depending on
their ability to keep up with
the work. In all other classes,
however, they work side by
side with students Of all capa-
bilities.
The program has worked re-
markably well-but not with
out some bitches. On the ma
tional basis, rapid learning suf-
fers from two kinds of pressure
groups: Parents who want their
children enrolled in such
courses, qualified or not, and
those afraid to burden" their
youngsters with extra duties.
In Montgomery County, how
ever, another kind of problem
has been especially trouble
some. Much of the courses are
concentrated in the larger lower
county schools while the pro-
gram is practically nonexistent
in the smaller upper county
institutions.
The reason for this concen-
tration, school officials say, is
simply that there are not
enough students in the smaller
schools to justify additional
classes for potential rapid
learners.
Solution Sought
But the school board is
working on a solution to that,
according to Harold Breimyer,
board president.
1--WE recognize that there are
inconsistencies in this pro-
gram" he said, "and we hope
to come up with an answer
that will make it possible to
provide these courses through
out the county eventually"
There are no statistics avail
able to measure the worth of
the program, which costs more
than normal courses because
the classes are smaller and the
books and equipment more ex-
pensive.
But Miss Katherine Greaney,
"a supervisor Of secondary
schools who has been close to
the Montgomery program since
the beginning. says that it is
"unquestionably worth the ef-
fort"
ut has done wonders to step
up both secondary and college
freshman programs" she said
The level Of the course work
is so high-normally one to
two years ahead Of average
that rapid learners are usually
assigned q credit or placed
in advanced classes on the
basis Of their high school

"At first" according to Miss
Greaney, everybody thought
these boys and girls would just
try to get through college more
quickly. But it hasn't worked
that way. They simply go on
to take all the more graduate
and undergraduates courses in
their fields. This program has
stimulated their desires to
learn-what more can we ask
than that?"

Every eye in the physics class
room at Bethesda Chevy Chase
High School was fastened on
what looked strangely like a
green worm wiggling across a
television screen.
Eighteen year old Martin
Mikelsons, smartly clad in a
gray suit and tie, adjusted a
dial on the oScilloscope and the
wriggling stopped. The dark
haired guitarist beside him
strummed a steady middle C.
There's the fundamental, u
Martin explained, pointing to
a jagged line on the screen, "the
harmonic in this case is at
about the same frequency as
the fundamental"
The boys nodded knowingly
and Martin led into a discussion
Of the sound spectra of musical
instruments.
High-Level Work
You didn't need to be a
physics professor to realize this
was no ordinary high school
class. 1t was a sophisticated
discussion for II and 18-year-
olds, more befitting college level
work.
It was not unusual in this
classroom, however. Such talk
is the rule in many Montgom-
cry, Prince Georges, Fairfax,
Arlington, Alexandria and Dis
trict schools where rapid
learners" are given special op-
portunities.
Each Jurisdiction calls these
classes by different names, each
set-up is arranged in various
ways. But the reason for their
existence Is the same; to give
the intelligent child the chance
to learn more and faster.
Montgomery County was
among the Nations pioneers
in this effort. Its rapid-learn-
ing classes were formally inaug-
urated in 1857, and now en-
compass three fields: English,
mathematics and science.
More than 500 students are
enrolled in these courses in the
18th and 18th grades, and
county officials are thinking
about extending them to the
10th grade eventually.
Participation Voluntary
In Montgomery County, par
ticipation in such classes is
purely voluntary. But even
volunteers must measure up to
the high standards-such as
emotional maturity, superior
ability and an 10. of about
130 or more before admission.
