Teacher Budget Cut

assigned to basic or special edu-
cation classes" he said.
The schools had requested
1877 basic class teachers to help
divert thousands of slow
learners into more suitable
classes. School officials regard
the problem as acute.
The budget which went to
the Hill asked for 1873 ele-
mentary. 141 junior high and
81 senior high school teachers,
The committee allowed only so,
SO and IA, respectively.
This DR.. Hansen said, is "a
critical loss" He said the
schools would seek restoration
of the requests in the Senate.
DR.. Hansen also said the dele
ton of nine counselors was
very Disappointing"
However. the superintendent
found more cheer in the capital
outlay section of the report,
which allowed virtually all OF
the 1881 900 requested. The
committee approved $7,754,000
It even added $3.50, 900 for plans
and specifications for replace
ment of Horrible Hine" Junior
High School.
THE attention to capital out
lay is excellent and most en-
couraging. 1t indicates a deep
concern for places for children
to at least attend school," DR..
Hansen said.
But he noted that the allow
ance was still only about q
third of the Board of Educa-
ton request.
One school effort threatened
with bankruptcy is the import
ant Ford Foundation Great
Cities project in IA downtown
schools. The House committee
snatched away the $4,000 in
matching funds requested.

Rockville Palmer
Rejects Criticism
Suburban Area
Officials Rebuked
On Zoning Views

Rockville's top city planner
yesterday rebuked suburban
Maryland planners for their
comments earlier this week
about the city and its inten-
tions for the future.
The verbal blast was that of
Robert D. Prestemon. chair
man of the Rockville Planning
Commission. against the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
He charged that "irrespon-
Sible, false and misleading
statements attributed to Ger
tain members and staff" of the
bi-county commission should
be repudiated as an attempt to
seize power and divert public at
tention from the shortcomings
of the commissions own staff"
Mr.. Prestemon thus Joined
Rockville's Mayor Frank A.
Ecker in defending the city's
expansion plans and its con-
troll over land coming.
Officials of the suburban
area commission were critical
of land annexations by cities
and towns within its area, cit
ing Rockville in particular, and
urged passage Of new legisla-
ton to amend the annexation
laws. They commended that the
laws should specify that any
land annexed in the future
would remain under the COM
MISSIONS coming and planning
control.
Tighter Control Seen
Such legislation, according to
Mr.. Prestemon, would be con-
trary to the public interest"
He said the city, in most in
stances. has more rigid control
over planning and coming than
the bi-county commission.
1.-THE facts are well known
to public officials, civic leaders
and the informed public of
Montgomery County" the city
planner declared. THE pro-
gressive and responsible model
government of Rockville, ma
tionally honored by three
major awards, has served as an
IimmeaSurable asset to Mont
gomery County,"
Effort to Conform
He said Rockville will con-
tinue to make every effort to
conform to regional planning
and development and to seek
appropriate guide lines" for
the future.
Mr.. Prestemon said Rock
ville'S annexations so far are
based on its ability to provide
utility services and follow
carefully conceived" Rockville

has insisted on adherence to
sound planning and coming -.
