The reports which l get from

each of these counties the young
people are not only being CIV

but they are pitching in to ac-

We in Baltimore City are GO
ing on the theory that our best
contribution will be made by do
ing the job at the local level.
At the recent State Central
Committee meeting, Walter E.
Black, jr. was our member on
the Nominating Committee. Be
fore the meeting we had had a
good deal of conversation here
among ourselves in Baltimore
City and the practically unani-
nous consensus was that d. FL
dred Rinehart should be urged
to stay on as State Chairman
and that Jim Devereux should
be named as Vice Chairman to
fill the opening resulting from
Bill Gresham's desire to resign.
Our feeling in Baltimore City
is that it will be very hard to
find a man who is going to com
mand the confidence of Repub-
licans as has Eldred Rinehart.
In view of his wishes we feel
It is the obligation of Republi-

Across The Line

MONTGOMERY County school officials would do well to
A study report by District of Columbia School
Superintendent Carl F. Hansen the results of the basic
education program in the Amdon School.
The successful academic discipline put into effect at
the new school last fall has resulted in the adoption of
similar programs in all District elementary schools.
The kew to the success of the Amdon School is simply
this emphasis on the basic subjects of reading writing
spelling speech arithmetic science, geography and his
tory And the method of teaching reading is equally
simple phonetics not sight reading combination OF
the two but the good old reliable eested way of learn
ing to read etter-by-letter and sound-bysound
For those who complain this method is too difficult
for the children Dr. Hansen has the perfect answerte
achievements of the Amidon School students.
Instead of building arconditioned schools and raising
administrative salaries every year. Montgomery school
heads should explore what happening right across the
District line they really interested in lifting the quail
ty of education in the county
Only a few weeks ago, the newspapers published the
of four Washington area students who had placed
in the finals of the annual nationwide science talent con-
test Two of the students attend Prince Georges County
schools one is in Washington and the fourth is in Airing
ton. Montgomery County was noticeably absent
There may be variety of reasons why no Montgom-
cry County students were successful in this particular
contest Certainly teachers and administrators are
among the highest paid in this area not the entire co-
try And expense is spared in school construction Yet
this county, which boasts of having of the best school
plants in the nation is not represented in the finals OF an
important science talent search.
Here is another question that school heads should
look into rather than seek money for more vocation
al equipment
It all boils down to what schools for Are they in
tended primarily to train children to use their MINDS or
merely to provide pleasant surroundings in which students
absorb satterng of knowledge with the least possible
effort?
Dr. Hansen has the answer when he says: "a lack OF
optimism about what children know and can do has led to
diution of education in many schools"
He correcting this condition in the District OF Co
lba by extending the Amidon School program to other
schools Montgomery County can lose nothing-and may
gain much-by following DR.. Hansen's example

Chairman, Montgomery County Delegation

Tydings bill has been COM
posed Of (a) Delegates with a
direct personal interest in its
defeat (b) Delegates who felt
that they might be the victims
of reprisals If oney voted for
the bill, and (c) soft-hearted
colleagues who just could not
bring themselves to do finaif-
cial harm to their old friends
in Security Financial.
1t was apparent for several
weeks that Joe Tydings did
not have the votes to put his
bill across.
Then a little group of men
who had no personal interest
in building and loan associa-
tons but who felt that the
Tydings bill should pass went
to work on the problem. The
ringleaders were Delegates w.
Dale Hess 3D., Harford),
James Latham 3D., Talbot
and myself.
The first phase was to con-
vince Tydings that he did not
have enough votes to pass the
bill in its original form. That
was easy; he seemed to be
pretty well aware of it him.

difficult job of convincing

reasonable compromise, we
would ram the original bill

This too was not difficult;
they were already weary of
the beating they were taking
in the newspapers.
Most important Of all was
the ticklish job of finding a
compromise that would be
reasonable and face-saving
without defeating the purpose

MINISTERS
Vests ENJOYS Silent
On Berlin Decisions

Continued From First Page
Mr.. Won Brentano expects to
vote in the German elections
today.
The ministers said they had
discussed "the dangerous
heightening of world tension
brought about since their last
meeting by Soviet unilateral
actions in Berlin, such as those
of August Is, and by the Soviet
decision to resume extensive
nuclear testing in the atmos-
phere."
The closest the communique
came to mentioning Western
plans for opposing Soviet moves
to oust the West from West
Berlin was contained in this
sentence from the Western
ministers communique:
The Ministers reviewed the
progress report submitted to
them on the political, economic
and military measures which
the four powers are under
taking to meet the situation. ="
To Consult Council
Veteran observers said the
secrecy on Western plans ex-
ceeded anything they could re-
member in more than 20 years
experience with Allied con-
ferences.
The ministers said that the
four-power meeting at the
State Department would be
followed by "the normal process
of consultation in the North
Atlantic Council"
The two days of meetings
here, the communique said,
represented "a further step in
the process of continuing con-
sultation among the four
powers, designed to coordinate
policies and actions to meet
Soviet threats"
The ministers were informed
of the latest Soviet move to
harass American commercial
flights in the air corridors over
East Germany between West
Berlin and Frankfurt. There
was no indication that the
Western powers planned special
measures to protect Western
flights in the Berlin air corri-
dor from Communist harass-
ment.
Here is the text of the COM
munique:
THE foreign ministers of
France, the United Kingdom,

sentS a further step in the

grow. with latest figures show
ing that 248,017 workers are on
the rolls of the Executive, Legis-
lative and Judicial branches in
the area. In addition, there are
about $4,000 employees in the
District government.
= This is the largest number
of Government employees here
since the Korean War and only
$4,000 fewer than at the peak
of World War II. However, it
still is only a little more than
10 per cent of the total Federal
employment of 2,423,691 and
has not actually increased in
proportion to total Government
employment through the years.
+, The rise in Federal employ
ment here, throughout the
country and overseas reflects
the increased scope Of services

gress. 1t also reflects the mill
tary buildup and the Govern
ment'S expanded space and
