REPLIES TO SILENT SPRING.
Pesticides Cause Discords

There would be a real basis

True. to tell the Subtleties
OF the effects Of pesticides we
need much more money and
much more manpower. But
sudden and large increases lead
to inefficiencies. I could use q
little more for contract re-
search" he admitted.
DR.. Buckley feels that re-
search in general on pesticides
should be far broader and more
extensive than at present time.
He especially believes that
more study should be done on
the effects Of pesticides on all
kinds Of marine life, where
the serious effects of pesticides
are more likely to show up"
he said.

benefits that come from pes

Montgomery Debates
Teachers Outside Jobs

The Montgomery County
Board of Education last night
debated a proposed conflict
of-interest policy aimed at
keeping teachers after-hours
activity from interfering with
their classroom duties.
AS outlined by County School
Supt. c. Taylor Whittier, the
new policy would allow teach
ers to hold part-time jobs but
would subject them. to 'In-
subordination" penalties S
should their extra curricular
activities detract from their
teaching obligations.
Out-of-class jobs should not
reflect adversely" on the
school system. the policy adds,
or in any way "embarrass"
educational dignity.
DR.. Whittier told the l0-mem-
Der board that conflict-of-in-
terest among Montgomery
teachers has not been a serious
problem.
The four-page proposal de-
mands that educators at the
administrative and supervisory
levels clear tentative outside
occupations with DR.. Whittier
