They are all operated by coun-
fy Tor Baltimore City, Boards
Of Education.
All Of the recent study
commissions IN the field Of
higher education have agreed
that junior colleges are des-
tined TO be an important eIe-
ment in providing facilities
for the great wave Of college
students that win graduate
from high school during the
1865.
One of their attractive fea-.
lures Ito the taxpayer, that
Isl is the fact that they offer
post-high school education
close to home. thus eliminat-
ing the need for building and
operating costly dornftorfss.I
Senator James suggests that
the junior colleges be known
henceforth as community col
leges. which is the name used
in California and many other
states. Junior" has an UNI
necessarily degrading como
tation.
Our bill provides that the
local board of education may
establish and maintain COM
munity colleges, with the ap-
prevail of the State Superin-
tendent Of Schools, and that
the board of trustees viii act
as a board of trustees for the
college.
The bill Is deliberately
slanted toward giving the
community colleges true stat.
us rs institutions Of higher
education rather than as su.
per-high schools for the 18th
and 18th grades.
Provision is made for the
joint support of college that
viii serve more than one
county. For instance, Super
intendent Schmidt in Prince
Georges is planning a college
at Laurel that win serve por.
tons Of Montgomery. Howard
and Anne Arundel Counties as
well as Prince Georges.
Senator James original ver-l
sion contained no specific pro-
vision for State aid, because
he feared that such a provision
might cause the fiscal authors
ties to lower the boom on the
entire bill.
We finally compromised on
a formula for support in equal

A 54-year-old Washington
man was killed yesterday in a
four-car accident on Branch
avenue just west of Suitland
parkway in Prince Georges
County.
Police identified the dead
man as Garnett L. Reamy of
1740 Fortieth street Sc, a me-
chanic employed at Fort Bel
voir, Va. Mr.. Reamy. his wife,
Elizabeth, 81, and their daugh-
ter, Betty Jane, 2. were passen-
gers in a car driven by George
C.. Scribe, 72. of 5204 Thirty
seventh avenue, Silver Hill, Md.
Prince Georges Police Pvt.
Edward j. Armstrong said Mr..
Scribe was admitted to Casual
ty Hospital in serious condition
with multiple injuries to the
head and body. Mrs. Reamy
and her daughter were ex-
amined and released, the po-
liceman said.
Others involved in the acci-
dent were Gerald T. Randall,
10, of 2728 Fifty-second ave-
nue. Sc, admitted to Casualty
in serious condition with head
injuries; Helen j. London of
1922 Franklin street Sc, who

Spring. About 100 persons at
tended last nights hearing in
the Hyattsville Armory.
To launch the programs in
Prince Georges. planners ex-
pect to sell 100000 in bonds
during the fiscal year. In ad-
dition, the Prince Georges dele
cation at the Maryland Assem-
bly, has been asked to authorize
a $600,000 county bond sale for
parkland.
The ambitious, long-range
park program. calls for an ex-
penditure of $12.5 million in
Prince Georges. This would
buy 7,l68 acres to bolster the
present 1,812-acre park area.
The planning commission is
asking for a one-half cent in
crease in the Prince Georges
park district levy of 10 cents
per $l00 assessed valuation.
While supporting all propos-
ais, the Prince Georges League
of Women voters asked for an
updated zoning ordinance. The
group also suggested the plan
ming agency might be able to
secure a better bond rating
than the county's new A rating
and obtain a better interest
rate for all parkland financing.

Out From
Plans Unit

Takoma Park city officials
want to secede from planning
jurisdiction of the Maryland
National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, in the
belief the municipality can do
better for itself.
The City Council last night
voted to seek legislation which
would exclude the city from
the commissions jurisdiction, a
move viewed by a commission

commissions failure to produce
a comprehensive zoning plan
for the city as promised four
years ago. Mayor George M
Miller said.
