In his declaration, Mr.. Hume
noted that it becomes "the pri-
mary duty of every citizen In
this state to employ every ounce
of spiritual and physical
strength to do all that he can
to insure by word and deed
those principles necessary to
our survival"
The statement called for an
end to various political malprac-
tees. Mr.. Hume called for "uni-
ty on those principles which
were set forth in the beginnings
of this Nation and which have
guided us in our times of peril
in the past"
He called for unity in a Con
cept Of government" that "the
decision-making process ulti-
mately belongs to the people"
unity in a concept of financial
responsibility, unity in a concept
of responsible taxation, unity in
the better utilization of govern

do you feel" he asked fell
low Council members, that
we'll get any different views
at our hearings than they did
at those the Park and Planning
Commission held?"

coed with the preparation Of

would hold hearings on them.
Applications filed in conformity
with them would be almost as

Council members David Ca

said interested citizens and
groups should be given a hear
ing before the Council, and
questioned how passing over
such hearings would affect
long pending coming applica-
tons involved in the master
plans.

School Board
Gives Pay Plan
Tentative Okay
Experience, MA
Would Double
Starting Salary

Experienced teachers with
masters degrees will earn
more than twice the starting
salary of beginners with
bachelors degrees in Mont
gomery County under pay
plan tentatively approved by
the Board of Education this
week.
The plan, based on the pro-
posed $4,70O starting salary for
beginners, would enable a teach
er with IA years experience
and an MA to receive salary
of 1886 on the automatic scale.
School Board members have
yet to reach a firm decision on
the basic starting salary for
teachers. An attempt to bring
this subject up for action late
In the course of the boards
meeting Monday night was
quashed with a motion to table.
Primary consideration has
been given so far to the pro-
posed salary index = or pay
ratio - which would be applied
whatever starting salary Is
agreed upon.
Giving the base salary the
value of 1, the board voted this
week to set an index Of 2.O5 as
the rate for the master-degree
instructors after IA years, on an
automatic basis. Such teachers
would have doubled the begin.
ner's salary by their 18th year.
With the addition OF merit
raises approved at the Monday
meeting, top scale for masters
degree holders with Is years OF
teaching behind them would be
%.
The merit raise program
given tentative approval calls
for career recognition evalua-
ton for teachers with masters
degrees after their 10th, 18th
and 18th year of teaching.
School Supt. c. Taylor Whit
tier expressed his preference
for at least a "a maximum
for outstanding teachers Of long
service - which could mean a
salary of more than $11, 900 on
a 10-month basis for 16-year
teachers with career recogni.
ton.
Under the basic automatic
index for masters. teachers,
Montgomery County would be-
come the first in the area to
offer at least twice the starting
salary to top educators.
Describing the Boards action
as more than tentative but less
than final" its president, Harold
F. Breimyer, pointed out the
salary index may be reconsid-
cred after the new basic sal.

Tax Gets
Approval

The County Council this
week approved ''in prin-
ciple' a real estate transfer
tax of up to one per cent of
property value, but deferred
working out the tax scale
until after further consider
alton.
Reason for the Councils post
ponement of final action on the
tax measure was the closeness
of the vote of general approval.
Council members split 4-3, with
one of the four, Stanley Frosh,
favoring a number of amend
ments before it gets his final
approval.
Voting for the tax were Coun-
ell members William F. Hickey,
Stella B. Werner, David Cahoon
and Frosh. Opposing were
Grover K. Walker, Jerry T. Will
liams and Joe Kyle.
The county heads plan future
work sessions ON the measure,
to determine both how low on
the scale of property value the
tax will apply and how it
should be graduated.
Cahoon at a recent session
suggested an exemption for all
property, improved or unim-
proved, under $4,000 in value
- as a protection for the aver
age homebuyer.
Council President Hickey this
week suggested exemption be
allowed for property under
$4,000 in value, but was voted
down.
The transfer tax has received

al Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
The plans are for the upper
Rock Creek watershed, the
upper Northwest Branch water
shed and vicinities of Gathers
burg-Rockville - all of which
are part of the general plan for
the physical development of the
Maryland-W Washington Regional
District in the county.
If public interest is sufficient,
the hearing will be continued
on August % and "a. All will
be held at 8 pm. in the first
floor auditorium of the County
Building.
Hickey's argument against
the Council holding hearings on
plans presented by the Park
and Planning Commission was
based on his feeling that they
"serve no purpose" which is not
served by the Commissions pre-
vious hearings or which will be
served at the time Council hear
ings are held on necessary sec
tional map amendments.

ing us a briefing on these plans
