Byron's Column

Dick Abel and his friends may be doing
great disservice to the political leaders who
included him on the Democrats For Progress
ticket. He and his friends seem to be out
for Dick Abel and Dick Abel alone.
Many Democratic leaders were told that
the ticket formed by Blair Lee. Bill Wheeler,
Frank Bliss and Bill Hickey was going to be
one for all and all for one That was given as
the excuse for putting such far-out candidate
as Rose Kramer, Ray Murphy, Narit ThOrsen
and Dick Abel on it in the first place. These
four Democrats and their liberalmOvement
associates have never seen eye-tO-eye with
Democratic leaders of the type represented by
Bill Wheeler. Frank L. Hewitt Jr., Frank Bliss
and Bill Hickey. And we still believe they
differ in almost all political areas.
1t is no secret that there are members of the
official teachers organization-t Montgom
cry County Education Association have
itched to get the teachers into politics. They
wanted to do it officially but their constitu
ton prevented it. They even went so far as
to have the MEGA pass a resomtIon endors
ing Dick Abel as Democratic candidate for
the House of Delegates. However, when
called on this, they denied that they en-
solved, that the Delegate Assembly Cthe
ruling body of the MCEA) heartily supports
the idea of teacher candidate and expresses
the conviction that Richard P Abel is emf
nently qualified to be such a candidate Fur
Their, that the Delegate Assembly asks that
Richard P. Abel seriously consider the posi-
bility of presenting himself as such a candi-
date" He did.
This resolution was presented in the form
of a motion by Mrs. Dorothy Steffens, Spring
brook High. Irving Shelter spoke on the
motion, stating that all the evidence points
to Mr.. Abelrs superior qualifications; especi.
ally his specific activities, both personal and
professional.
There is no doubt that many teachers did
not react favorably concerning this move to
involve their professional organization into
partisan politics. AS matter of fact, it is
against the constitution to be concerned with
any political cause 1t says further that no
candidate for political or other office shall be
endorsed by MEGA. 1t is plain as that.
1t doesn't take much digging to realize
that the leaders in MEGA who tried to force
MEGA into the political arena are doing it
by another method They have formed what
they call teachers committee for Abel"
1t is interesting to note that the chair
is Irving Nj. Shelter and that the Sec
rotary is Dorothy r. Steffens. One introduced
the political resolution and the other spoke i'm

favor of at the November meeting OF the
delegate assembly.
However the activities of this teachers
committee for Abel is bound to bring grief
to the ticket headed by Blair Lee, candidate
for the United States Senate.
1t is evident that Richard Abel and his
friends are not working for anyone but Dick
Abel
But the real thrust comes in letter that
has been sent to teachers in Montgomery
County. The chairman for this teachers COM
mittee for Abel land incidentally many of
them live in the D. c. and therefore, cannot
vote in Maryland says that we have lacked
some kind of leadership in Annapolis. Here
is the damaging paragraphs in Mr.. Shelters
letter to teachers:
"The candidacy of Dick Abel for the
Maryland House of Delegates presents a
unique opportunity for every teacher to exer
else his political right and TO meet his pro-
fessiOnaI responsibility by providing the kind
Of leadership all citizens now lack in An
napOlis. This opportunity can be realized by
your support Of Dick Abel in the primary
election on May 15."
We believe everyone in Montgomery
County realizes-and this includes school
teachers-that Blair Lee III, chairman of our
Delegation to Annapolis, has been an out
standing leader in the House of Delegates for
the past eight years. Furthermore, he has
been considered one of the outstanding lead
ers of Democratic politics in Maryland. And
he has certainly represented all of the people
including school teachers, with an open and
intelligent mind. Blair Lee has shown that he
is big enough to look at the complete govern
mental picture and act accordingly Too, he
has an outlook on life that is open and cordial
and good. He has always acted for the good
of many instead of uttering sweeping and
sweet platitudes concerning various groups of
our people
Many Democrats believe Is
unfortunate that Blair Lee and his
fine associates felt it necessary to include
Ray Murphy, Rose Kramer Dick Abel and
MART ThOrsen in a local ticket for Democratic
nominations. And no doubt they now see what
type of political campaigning Abel Is capable
OF conducting. He and his friends seemingly
have no idea of supporting anyone on the
ticket except Dick Abel. One is bound to
wonder why he seems so frantic to go to
Annapolis. And one wonders why he is will.

and completely partisan political campaign.
We know most of the Democratic voters
IN Montgomery County aren't being fooled by
some OF the political activity that is going on.

cIear ExpIonofion Needed

1t is too early to make a clear judgment on
whether or not the School Boards operating budget
is in error to the tune of SIS million.
According to Mason Butcher, County Manager,
the School Board budget based wrong calcula-
tons in estimating the amount of money needed for
next year. He found the type of last year
that amounted to about 81 million
In all fairness, the School Board should be given
every opportunity to explain this most recent dis
crepancy. And the explanation should be plain and
understandable.
However this controversy ends, it is apparent
that there exists complete lack of cooperation and
coordination with the County Council and the County
Manager. AS result, the Board and its employees
seem to have lost touch with reality.
The School Board should be reminded that the
responsibility for raising the money to operate the
county is vested in the County Council Education is
vital part of the countys operations. Therefore, the
Council is interested in executing its responsibility
with sincere concern.
For some reason, officials of the School Board
seem to think their operation is distinct and separate
and that the County Council should approve the
school budget without question 1t is to the credit of
the County Council that this does not happen.
We believe the citizens of Montgomery County
are willing and able to pay the cost of excellent
school system However we do not believe the aver
age taxpayer is willing to sit by and see money ap-
propriated that is not needed
1t seems to us that there should exist such close
working relationship between officials of the County
Council and officials of the School Board that con-
Toversy of this magnitude that shocks the
confidence of the public = would never happen
The School Board has an important function.
The County Council has an important function. But
both should work for the best interests of the people
1t is believed that the County Council of Parent
Teachers Associations would do well to study the
budget situation before demanding that mo cuts"
be made in the School Budget by the County Council.
Surely the members of this august body would not
want the Council to shirk its duty and give the School
Board money that is not needed. We hope it will be
more crcumspect in its actions at the public hearings
than news release might Indicate.

schools. in that county. The
public schools educate 77,636
students; the Catholic schools,
elementary and secondary, ed
ucate 5000 students. Proper
tionate to the proposed budg-
ct, it would cost the County
an additional $13,200,000 if the
students in the Catholic
schools were sent to the public
schools. In other words, the
Catholic parents, by support
ing their schools, will save
their fellow taxpayers about
$13,200,000.00 a year in taxes.
An extremely large portion
of the tax dollar in Montgom-
cry County goes TO the sup
port of the public schools. The
present tax rate is reported as
$2.53 per 500; of this S2.53,
about STA is devoted to pay
ment of the public schools and
school debt services. Over so
per cent of the tax dollar for
the county is spent on public
education. The Catholic tax
payer thus contributes very
heavily for the cause of public
education before he is per-
mitted to give a cent towards
the kind of education he pre-
fers. for his child.
These figures bespeak elo-
quently the spirit of sacrifice
of the Catholic parent in in
sisting on his freedom in
choosing the kind of educa-
ton he deems best for his
child. In so doing, the Cath
olic parent is practicing a SUI
perb type of patriotism which
puts the highest premium
upon freedom of choice of ed
ucation and retains moral val
ues as the core of education.
The Catholic parents thus con-
tinue the splendid tradition,

ing his freedom of choice in
education? Education, by the
explicit words of the Supreme
Court, is a public service. The
Catholic schools discharge a
public service for the 5000
children in their schools in
Montgomery County. a service
equal to that afforded by the
student in the public schools.

House of Representatives and
the Nation at large can only
give the trade program fair
consideration if we have GER

/ am concerned with the
validity of some of the facts
which have been advanced in

in particular to a press release
issued by the Secretary of
Commerce on January 90. 1862
which alleges that the District
of Columbia printing and pub
fishing trade exported S4.6 mil
lion of printed matter in 1860
The figure was supposedly
based on the exports of print
ing companies in the District
of Columbia which employ
more than 100 persons. This
seemed to me to be an unusu-
ally large amount, and so I
made some personal inquiries.
The result of a necessarily
brief investigation was to
learn that in the District Of
Columbia there are only seven
printing houses that employ
more than 100 employees. The

category.
Yet a spokesman for these
printers has advised me that
they did not advise the De.
