Building Plans

Budget HuIved
Before Going
To New Board
BY WILLIAM DUKE
star Staff Writer

Montgomery County's new
economy minded school board
tonight will receive a proposed
construction budget half the
size it had expected.
Supt. C. Taylor Whittier will
ask for ST. million to build
schools and facilities in 1963-64,
although he previously had
estimated the system would
need $l4.3 million for these
purposes. Tonight's request will
be $9.3 million or Sc per cent
less than this years budget.
DR.. Whittier said the reduc-
tion was made possible by the
deferral of SIS million in school
construction until next year.
The postponement, he said, was
allowable because of the level
ing off" of the postwar baby
boom.
Another factor was postpone
ment of 81 million to pay for
potentially controversial items
which must be resolved through
policy decisions" by the new
board.
He denied that the results
Of last months school board
election had any significant
effect on the pared down
budget proposal.
I'VE have requested the
money needed to do our job"
DR.. Whittier said. And we
have done it on the same basis
as we have in past years"
Promised Economy
In the school board election,
four incumbent board members
closely identified with DR.. Whit
tier and past school board poll
cies, were defeated. The victors,
who took office Monday, won
on promises to hold down school
costs - especially construction
costs-and to stress fundamen-
tails in education.
The superintendent's pro-
posal provides for:
l. Some $3,362,583 to build
and furnish five elementary
schools at Seven Locks, Rock
Greek Valley, Burnt Mills,
Georgetown Hill, and Sherwood
Forest, adding "a classrooms to
the system.
The request also includes
money for additions to the
Congressional and Potomac
Elementary Schools, and for
planning funds for schools in
the Woodley Gardens, Cannon

D. c. Transit Seeking
To End 20-Cent Token

available for comment, a Sec
retary in President o. ROY
Chalk's office said.
The last D. C. Transit fart
increase was granted by the
District Public Utilities Com.
mission in 1860. The company
was turned down by the Dis
trict commission in 1861 fol
another fare increase.
An appeal of the 1860 fare
increase by two lawyer transit
riders is now before the full
nine-judge United States Court
Of Appeals.
The new transit commission
took over jurisdiction of D. C.
Transit and other mass transit
companies in the Washington
Metropolitan Area in March,
1861. Under its regulations, it
must decide on fare increase
applications within 100 days or
the proposed fares go into effect
automatically.

Article "FallaciOus"

Mr.. Stevenson called the ar
ticle "fallacious from beginning
to end, in every detail"
He said he had been "em-
phatically in favor" of the
blockade of Cuba as a first step
to persuade Soviet Premier
Khrushchev to withdraw nu-
clear rockets when they were
discovered in Cuba in mid
october.
Earlier, a spokesman for Mr..
Stevenson had said the Ambas-
sador was 'for the quarantine
and United Nations action both
before and after the decision
was taken by the President"
Both the spokesman's state
ment and that of Mr.. Steven
son left open the possibility,
however, that the Ambassador
had advanced some other, less
stringent suggestion, for action
in the Cuba crisis in the early
stages of the National Security
Council deliberations.
Presidential Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger Tended off at
a news conference today all
sorts of questions about Mr..
Stevenson and the u. N. AM
bassador's role in the Cuban
crisis.
"I have nothing further to
say" Mr.. Salinger said. The
subject is closed as far as !
am concerned"
Asked whether this meant
the matter is closed as far as
Mr.. Kennedy is concerned, Mr..
Salinger said as far as the
White House is concerned.
This appeared to indicate
that Mr.. Kennedy may not
make a public statement or
gesture in support of Mr.. Ste
venson, but the reports per-
sisted.
On Monday, Mr.. Salinger
had made a special point of
preserving secrecy on the NSC
talks.
The proceedings of the Ma
tional Security Council have
been secret since its founding
in 1947 and will continue to
be-" Mr.. Salinger said. THE
various positions of members
of the National Security Coun-
Gil taken during deliberations
must also remain secret in
order to permit access by the

Stevenson Breaks Silence
On Security Council Talks
BY EARL H. VOSS
star Staff Writer

United Nations Ambassador
Adlai e. Stevenson today broke
his silence on National Sc
curity Council deliberations and
said he had approved the quar-
antine Of Cuba three days be-
fore the President decided to
invoke 1t.
In an interview on the
To-day" television show, Mr..
Stevenson also threw down
speculation he may have been
asked to resign. "On the con-
trary," he said, without elabor-
alton.
President Kennedy was un-
derstood to be considering
some public gesture of conf
dence in Mr.. Stevenson to quiet
the speculation about his po-
Sition following publication of
a Saturday Evening Post ar
ticle indicating he took a soft
line in the Cuba crisis.
Mr.. Stevenson said in the
television interview he had not
communicated with the Presi-
dent on the matter since the
appearance of the controversial
article, written by two writer's
considered to be close to Mr..
Kennedy.
Charles Bartlett of the Chat
tanooga Times introduced the
President to his future wife.
The other author, Stewart
Alsop. a staff writer for the
Saturday Evening Post, has
also known the President for
most of his career in Washing
ton.

The incident occurred while
Judge Miller was on the bench
but while the jury was out of
the room. Mr.. Swanson came
through the rear door Of the
small walnut paneled court
room, and walked down the
aisle to a swinging gate separ-
ating spectators from lawyers
and principals in the trial.
He then lunged through the
gate, pulled the weapon from
beneath his coat and headed
toward Mr.. Hoffa. seated at the
defense table.
Three defense lawyers ducked
to the floor as the man opened
fire. The shots made small
popping sounds.

NEW YORK - Horses are
becoming more and more of
a rarity in Geauga county.
On the local farms, where
they were once the basic
source of power for plowing.
narrowing and hauling, they
are rapidly vanishing f + m
sight.
Since 1854, the horse and
mule population of the county
has dropped from 2,161 to /,
993.
The change is reported in
the latest U. S. Census of Ag-
riculture, the results of which
have just been made public.
1t shows that the trend is in
the same direction in nearly
every part of the country and
that it has been in process for
some time. In some areas it is
proceeding more rapidly than
in others.
Throughout the United Stat
eS, the number of horses and
mules on farms has been re-
duced from a peak of 25 mil
lion to a mere 3 million in a
period of 80 years. In the last
5 years alone, there has been
a % percent reduction.
In Geauga County, the five
year drop amounted to 8 per-
cent. 1t was 7 percent in the
State of Ohio.
The Government states that
horses have become such ar
unimportant element in agri-
culture today that it will dis
continue making its annual
survey of the number of work
animals in use.
The explanation lies in the
economic changes that have
been taking place in farming
in recent years. Technologi-
cal progress has made horse
power and much hand labor
obsolete. For efficient opera

farmer to reduce the number
of his hired hands and, at the
same time, to greatly in

The Census of Agriculture
shows how the machine age is
taking hold in Geauga County
The number of tractors of all
types on local farms now a.
mounts to 1,279.
There are 129 of them per
100 farms, as against 122 per
100 in 1854.
Similar increases have been
noted in the number of motor
trucks and in other mechani.
cal and labor-saving equip
ment per farm.

Club, the fabulous place built in the
twenties by the late Edward C.

phia architect to please his wife,
the former french actress Laura

A rocket engine test installation
is in the making and some weeks
ago, Manteo concrete contractor S.
&c. Basnight was called in to aid in
the building of a fixed text firing
pad which is near the site Of the
former Poyners Hill Coast Guard
station.
This information was published
by the Norfolk Virginian- Pilot last
Saturday although Mr.. William E.
Witt, a party in interest in the
property says a release concerning
the operation was premature, and
Jerry Halpin of Atlantic Research
says, inasmuch as the Dismal
Swamp area is being considered,
there is nothing firm about this
proposition for Currituck Beach,
and a decision would be made in
about three weeks. Other sites un-
der consideration are Ocracoke Is
land and Arkansas.
| This story apparently leaked out
from residents of the area who
were. quick to come to conclusions
from their observations of certain
activity around them.
j Mr.. Halpins says their initial
agreement was for 80 days in order
to test water, etc. He said when a
site is selected there will be no ac-
tual rocket firing, but rather for
the development of the company's
lpolaris propellant. The set-up
would be primarily for the mixing
Of fuels, which the company calls
solid-propellants.
4 The agreement would be to take
a three-year option with a rental
Iprice renewable annually.
To continue, with the informa-
Ition previously published, the Nor
folk newspaper says in part.
The Atlantic Research Corp Of
| Alexandria, Va, has firned up an
agreement to pay 5000 a year for
the use of the property, with option
to buy at one million dollars. The
lowners are William E. Witt of Vir-
lginia Beach and A. 7. Mclean of
Portsmouth, Va. They acquired the
property some four years ago, from
the Ray Adams Estate at cost Of
some $400, 900. Since then, it has
been operated as a swank club in
winter, and as a boys Academy in
summer. The boys academy will be
continued near Charlott ottesyilles Va.
i Atlantic Research is out in front

ment. Not all the Land concerned
