A Public Hearing

I am not a resident of Rock
vile but l was an interested
spectator at the meeting of
your Mayor and Council Mon
day night. 1 attended the
meeting with local residents
because I was interested in
seeing how government func-
tons at the local level.
i am a confirmed believer in
the democratic process but l
have never seen it operate as
1t did at your city meeting.
Quite frankly, I was shocked.
In the early part of the meet
ing a builder appeared to. re-
quest coming for an apartment
development. My first shock
came when the builder quail
fled as an expert on coming by
virtue of his membership on a
county planning commission
and, apparently, supported his
own zoning request as an Of
fetal of that commission.
None.the-less, his presentation
was orderly and did not deal
with personalities. The pre-
sentation was long but city
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1961-09-21

suggested that the opponents
confine their remarks to the
business under discussion.
Then when the representative
of the builder asked for time
for rebuttal, he was told to
send it in written form and it
would be added to the record.
My contention is this: A
mans reputation and integrity
were under attack. He was
even politically accused Of
bribery. He certainly was
damaged before an auditorium
nearly full of people. His de-
Tense should have been made
before those people. He should
have had a chance to clear
himself politically since he
was attacked politically. 1
venture to suggest that the
many people there will not
take the time or trouble to dig
his defense from a record.
I feel this is a shocking in
dictment of government In
your community. I feel it is
unAmerican to conduct gov
eminent by Kangaroo Court.

Discovering Two Truths

have now discovered two truths that
the education of foreign exchange student
is tough job, and that question my ability
to contribute to the education. These two
propositions rose up and hit me one day
when Dindina and I were doing the great
National Art Galleries, etc., in Washington
where we were soaking up little American
culture. The debacle 1 am about to describe
prompts me to pose a few questions to the
readers of this column: namely, what would
you do, where would you take how would
you go about teaching or showing, or proving
to a highly receptive and intelligent young
Italian just what America is? If you have
any ideas on it drop line to our editor,
please.
We started off right gay and bouncy I
was full of confidence in my great knowl-
edge of American democracy and Mungum-
merry County culture and we went into the
museum and saw the genuine imitation Papal
jewels. Having seen the original in Rome,
she was unimpressed. In the art gallery I
was privileged to show her reproduction
of The Last Supper which she has seen in
the raw in Milan; and then 1 showed her a
paper mache OF Michaelangelo's statute of
David, and later on a magnificent photograph
of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel BY this
time 1 had the feeling that maybe art was
not our long suit: and 1 use the word "art"
in very broad sense and l include painting,
sculptoring, and designing.
We turned away from this tour of Amer.
lean culture and started to tell her about
the original thoughts on atomic science of
that great American, Einstein. She corrected
me on that one and reminded me that
Leonardo de Vinci had said some very progress
sive things about the nature of matter prior
to the time that the white man came to
America. I knew that also, but had forgot
ten. Having failed to find Americana, we
jumped into the 1884 Bugatti and beat all

Byron's Column

on the suggestion that chronological grouping
of school children should be eliminated?
(Series Number 12)
Does the School Board think that the
Adult Education Program is inadequate?
(Series Number I'D
These we believe are the important points
brought out in the Curriculum Study Report.
And while the job of evaluating all phases of
the Report is big one, we believe the people
of Montgomery County would like to get def
mite opinions of the Board of Education.
Another series on school affairs should
begin promptly. There are many experimental
programs in education being conducting in
MANY of the local schools And since so many
parents seem to be In the dark concerning
these experiments in education, 1t would be
well to investigate and see what programs are
being carried on and what is hoped to be ac
compIished by such procedures.
AS matter of fact, there are many areas
in the administration of the schools that need
study
Since the education of children is one of
the most important tasks facing the people
of this country, it behooves every interested
parent and citizen to become interested in the
process.
Montgomery County is blessed with hun.
dreds of brilliant minds. And the children who
60 to our schools reflect this But many of
these persons who have this unusual mental
power are too busy or too unconcerned to find
out the fundamentals of our educational sys.
tenn and the persons responsible for it.
The spending of money-and much of 1t
wasted-is not the important point in this
matter of education. The important thing Is
how our educational system works. And who
are the persons responsible for it.
This newspaper from time to time has
found many weaknesses that should not exist
in an educational system that costs the people
of this county more than 64A million dollars
a year. And most of the weaknesses seem to
stem from inadequate administrative respon-
sibility and the apparent desire to keep the
public in the dark concerning many of the
fundamental procedures.
Furthermore it has been apparent In the
past that the School Board itself has found
1t difficult to get accurate information on
which to base judgment on policy. However,
It Is fair to say that recent steps have been
taken to correct somewhat this very gIaring
weakness. But until those responsible realize
the importance Oh keeping Tile pubic IuIly
informed, land not spOon.fed what It is be-.
lieved to be good for them, the job of getting
the basic and true information will continue
to be difficult to come by.
Parents have every right to know what
experiments their children are being put
through and the School Board and the present
Administration should, see to it that full in
formation is given forthwith concerning any
and all experimentation that is now taking
place in our school system. Otherwise, the
seeds of discomfort will continue to grow

The observance of Constitution Week" deserves
the support of all Montgomery County residents
1t Is appropriate that the 174th anniversary of the
signing of this immortal document be celebrated now
as our nation faces its gravest danger in recent years.
and perhaps in its entire history.
The issue of tyranny versus freedom has never
been posed so clearly have the awful consequences
OF defeat been portrayed graphically in the mus
room cloud of nucear holocaust with which the
Russian dictator is threatening the free world.
Every citizen owes it to himself to read the Con-
sttution of the United States and to gain renewed
faith and courage from it. We must never forget that
we are dedicated to liberty not only for ourselves but
for all peoples throughout the world.
We must never forget that the rights we enjoy
and which so many of us take for granted were won
with the blood of handful of Americans in the face
of overwhelming odds.
We must never forget that to surrender any of
these rights here or anywhere in the world means to
surrender all.

"NucIear weapons and the possibility of
nuclear war are facts Of life we cannot ignore
today. / do not believe that war can solve
any of the problems facing the world today.
But the decision is not ours alone" John f.
Kennedy.
The above line is from letter to the
American people from its President urging
them to read and consider seriously the con-
tents of last weeks issue of Life The editors
of that magazine devoted their cover story
to the vital importance of fallout shelters
pointing out that 97eo of all Americans could
survive nuclear war if they would just take
the necessary precautionary measures.
OF course the President and the Editors
of Life know that millions will die unneces-
sariIy in the event of such war, but the
effort to wake America up may save many.

Exercise in FufiIify

Tonight's dinner in Pikesvlle for Gov J. Willard
Tawes is an exercise in futility.
For 500 head, those attending the affair have
been given the doubtful privilege of going through the
empty motions of a testimonial to man who has lost
not only the confidence Of the vast majority of Mary
land voters but the support of sizeable portion of his
own party.
If Mr. Tawes were honest with himself-a diff
cult achievement for any politician he would re-
nomce the overpowering desire with which he is so
obviously afflicted to remain in the Governors man.
sion and let newer, more vigorous leadership take
over.
He would examine his record during the last four
years and admit that it is of the most mediocre
ever made by chief executive Of the Free State.
The two most important problems which have
arisen In Maryland In recent reapportionment
and redistricting- remain unsolved because of the
Governors indecision and lack of firmness He has
consistently refused to recognize that chief execu
tive must lead not follow must exercise strength, not
weakness; and must fight for the needs of the major
ity not surrender for the sake of political expediency
His refusal to bow out gracefully now can result
only in splitting the Democratic party and inviting
Republican victory in November, 1862.
It is unfortunate that Mr. Tawes persists in clos
ing his eyes to the signs of impending defeat They are
all around him: rival states of candidates, bitter
charges by his opponents and, above ALL strong and
mounting wave of resentment among the voters.
His coyness in making his intentions known is
most unbecoming to man who has been around the
political scene long Mr. Tawes For it is no secret
that he wants desperately to again. Yet four years
ago. he pledged to party leaders that If elected he
would be satisfied with one term.
This is not the kind of Governor that Maryland
voters need. They deserve far better.
