797 Pupils
Dropped Out
Of Schools

A total of 797 students
withdrew from the school
system last school year, the
county school board learned
this week.
T. H. Owen Knight, director of
the office of pupil services, told
the school heads in his annual
report Tuesday that most of
the dropouts were students over
16 who voluntarily withdrew.
There were total of 391 in this
category, he said.
Next highest group, he re-
ported, was the physically han
dicapped who totaled 40.
lOther categories: immature
children under seven years of
age, 81; under 16 years of age
and no appropriate school pro-
gram, 81; left for the armed
forces, 30; committed to institu-
tons, 81; emotionally or men,
tally handicapped, %; economic
necessity, IL; marriage, 60;
permanently expelled, 6.
The 1877 total, Mrs. Lucy
Kicker, board member, pointed
out, is less than one-half of one
per cent of the total enroll
ment. Il think this is an achieve
ment of which we can be
proud" she said.
Board member Robert E. Nor
row agreed but questioned
Knight closely on what school
administrators were doing to
minimize dropouts. Knight said
each case, including students
over 16 who may legally drop
out if they choose, is turned
over to pupil personnel workers
who try to prevent the dropout,
If it is possible to do so.
Examining the report, Nor
row said he believed it Shock
ing that "in this county and in
this day and age" as many as
even IL students would find it
necessary to drop out because
of economic necessity"
Knight explained that those
were extreme cases and he cited
the example of a youth whose
tenant farmer father suffered a
broken leg and would have been
fired II the boy had not been
allowed to drop out and work,
thus keeping the family self
supporting.

Issue Now

The issue of whether the
Maryland : National Capital
Park and Planning Commits
sion should be abolished-a
relatively dormant one thus
in the campaign-erupted as
a major one this week with
a Democratic c "a didate
pushing it into the spotlight.
Councilman Stanley B. Frosh,
seeking reelection as council-
man-at-large, said In a speech
prepared for delivery Tuesday
night that local planning func-
tons should be taken away
from the M-NCPPC and becoms

He advocated establishments

manager who, In turn, would
be responsible to the County
Council.
1t was understood the Frosh
proposal touched off a furry
of activity In Democratic circles
with some candidates openly
sorrowful that Frosh had come
out publicly with such q pro
posal.
In his talk, Frosh also stated
that his suggestions were "a
part and parcel Of the program
and platform of the Democratic
Party in Montgomery County"
This was Immediately dis
puted by some Democratic lead
ers who said abolition OF the,
M-NCPPC is not proposed in the
party platform.
The platform itself goes ms
further than to pledge that local
Democrats will insure 1t (the
planning process) Is responsive
to the policy-making function
of the County Council"
The platform declaration has
been widely interpreted as Dem
ocratic hedging on the highly
controversial question of NJ
NCPPC abolition which was
raised long before the platform
drafters sat down to write. It
was seriously proposed last
summer by Public Administra-
ton Service of Chicago in its

Halloween vandalism has been

Sentinel Reporter

With only two weeks re-
naming before the General
Election, m e m b ers of the
County Council are turning
on the heat to clean up a
backlog of about 60 pending
coming applications.
OF the 60 on which the Coun-
Gil has held public hearings, 81
have been gathering dust wait
ing for recommendations from
the Park and Planning Commits
sion. One of these was filed in
December, 1857. The balance
date back to 1860 and 1861.
Council president David L.
Cahoon said Tuesday the Coun-
Gil wants to clear the decks be.
fore election and that the moss
gathering applications will be re-
viewed by the Council in order
to determine what action can be
taken.
Under the law, CahoOn said.
when the Park and Planning
Commission fails to come up
with recommendations within
a six months period after a re-
quest is made, the Council can
decide the cases without q
longer wait for Commission
opinions.
Failure of the Commission to
make recommendations on the
81 applications, Cahoon said, are
due largely to uncertainties con-
corning planning in the lower
county, the current so-called cor
ridor survey being conducted
for the State Roads Commits
sion, and other matters.
The pending "aged" applica-
tons are concerned with recon-
ing from residential zones to
apartment, industrial and COM
mercial zones.
Balance of the backlog is
made up of more than 80 coming
requests filed in May. Public
hearings began in early June
and the last of the lot was held
Oct. 16.
Cahoon and Council members
said the before-election, self-im-
posed deadline can be met.
Some of the requests may have
to be deferred to the incoming
Council, Cahoon said, but he
does not believe extra council
work sessions will be called in
order for the Council to speed
action on the backlog.

Against
Planners

A second suit has been
filed against the Maryland
National Capital Park and
Planning Commission for de-
lays in approving plans for
subdivisions in the County.
Filed on behalf Of developer
Albert Turner of Suburban
Homes, Inc, by Wheeler, Moore
and Korpeck, the suit names the
Commission and its planning di.
rector, Arthur K. Stellhorn, as
an individual.
Earlier this year, Turner pre-.
sented his subdivision plan to
the Commission for 40 acres OF
land on Rt. 108 just west OF
Olney, where he hoped to con.
struct a development of single
family dwellings. The Commits.
sion turned down the plan.
On May Is, Turner and his
attorneys asked for rehearing
and said rejection by the COM
missisn was both arbitrary
and capriciOus> John Moore, a
member of the law firm rep
resenting Turner, said no an
swer to the request for re-
hearing has been received.
In the suit, Turner cites the
Commission and Shellhorn for
refusing to allow his subdivision
plan to come before a meeting
of the planning board and seeks
adoption of an order requiring
the commission and its chair.
man to show cause why relief
should not be granted the devel-
oper.
In August, a suit was filed
against the commission by a
group of land developers head
ed by builder Louis c. Meltzer.
Meltzer charged the commission
was delaying approval of his
plans for development of 157-
acre community of half-acre

Meltzer and his associates

sary to juggle the budget to
make funds available.
The apparent low bid, submit

ment's total estimate by about
ST., 900.
Board members voted to trans
fer $36, 1884 from the systems

count to make acceptance of the
bid possible.
Board members Robert r.
Morrow and DIR. Harold Bre-
meyer told the board they
would ask the architect to re-
duce the cost with a modified
design II the system was not
so pressed for time.
The addition is designed to
alleviate a sharply increased
student load expected in the
school next year. Construction
is to be completed by November,
1868.
The contract calls for con
struction of five regular class
rooms with conference rooms,
five science rooms, two lang,

room, administrative offices and

Rockville
Will Seek
BigStore

A strong effort to bring
a major department store in
to its urban renewal area
will be made by the City of
Rockville.
A get-together last week of
members of the City Council,
the city manager and members
of the planning and urban re-
newal staff resulted In the de-
partment store decision.
This week city manager Wal
ter Scheiber and city planners
began lining up appointments
with prospective merchandising
establishments.
The search for a department
store interested in locating In
Rockville. where a $34 million
potential is expected to be
reached in five years, will not be
confined to the Washington
area. Large stores in Baltimore,
and department stores chains
along the eastern seaboard will
be canvassed.
Rockville's urban renewal
plan is expected to be unveiled
in November. City officials hope
to have q firm commitment
from someone" by that time.
Plans are being made to lure
a big store to the city despite
firm opposition from one city
councilman and only lukewarm
support for the move from
another, it was learned.
City Councilman E diva r d
Mack has expressed strong OPP
position, contending the social
and cultural aspects of city life
should be emphasized over COM
mercial needs. And Council
man Ralph Williams repeatedly
remains unconvinced that big
store is necessary for the city's
commercial district of the flu
ture.
Councilman Ross Roberts re-
portedly will "go along" with
the move although he is not
supporting it intellectually.
Councilman A. E. Tuchtan and
Mayor Frank Ecker are said to
strongly favor attraction of a
big store to serve as an
anchor" to the new CONNER
cial area that will be developed
under urban renewal.
