Liberal Committee Attacks
The conservative majority
DR.. Bell, william Coyle, william
Il. Saunders and Everett H.
Woodward-came under attack
from another source today.
The 7-month-old Committee
for the Public Schools. which
describes itself as a non-parti-
san organization seeking to
acquaint the public with the
school boards performance, ac-
cused the conservative majority
Of failing to strengthen the
school system and termed their
work 'reactionary."
The committees five-page
appraisal lauded the efforts Of
the liberal school board mi
nority. The report was drafted
by Philander Claxton, as chair
man of the groups executive
committee.
1t touched on many of the
same sore spots raised by the
teachers group in their plea
to the NEA.
Bill Sees Advances
DR.. Bell, however, was at the
same time concluding his term
as school board chairman with
an assessment that the con-
sentative majority is moving
toward a more traditional edu-
cational program"
He added that in the past
year the board had made a
realistic approach to the con-
struction of schools that would
cut costs while still providing
ample facilities for the grow
ing school population.
The board will elect a new
president at its next meeting,
December II.
In other business last night,
the board unanimously adopted
a resolution to rename the
new East Wheaton High School
the John F. Kennedy High
School in tribute to the late
President.
The school will open next

layed discussion" Of revisions

Supt. c. Taylor Whittier.
Fingerprints Opposed
Mr.. Simonds said association
members also are alarmed over
a May q board decision to
have teacher fingerprintS
screened by county police. The
new policy, already in effect for
all other county employees. was
upheld by the circuit court and
is being taken to the Maryland
Court Of Appeals by the State
Board of Education.
Mr.. Bell said the papers he
took to the PTA meeting con-
tanned the inked-out names of
teachers who had recently re-
signed, but still carried the
reasons for their departure.
The list was prepared by the
superintendent office.
II obtained this list to an
swer charges by DR.. Beck that
there had been a mass exodus
Of teachers from the county
because Of their discomfort with
school board policies" Mr.. Bell
said.
He referred to DR.. Clifford K.
Beck, a member Of the boards
liberal minority. The liberals
have been feuding over educa-
tional policies with the new
conservative members ever since
the election a year ago saw the
liberal majority toppled In
favor Of the four new conserva-
tives.
No Names Disclosed
Mr.. Bell said that while the
complete teacher resignation
list was confidential. he felt
his inking-out the names made
it an appropriate answer to
PTA questions about resigna-
tons. The reasons were the
only partly re a BILE, and
they were the usual explana-
tons such as pregnancy. and
a husband being transferred to
another city. Mr.. Bell said.
The conservatives defended
Mr.. Saunders action, saying
any board member had a right
to bring matters before the full
board without first getting a
staff report. The matter was
aired by the board November
10, when staff officials attrib-
uted the Rosemary Hills trouble
to a communications break

ministration and the parents.

Members Of the Arlington
County delegation to the vir-
ginia General Assembly agreed
last night with the Arlington
County Board that the legisla-
tors should seek Assembly ap-
.proval for Northern Virginia
localities to participate in q
Metropolitan Area tranSporta-
ton compact.
Delegation members said
they would seek legislation per-
hitting the Northern Virginia
Jurisdictions to participate in

ating q mass transportation

Consent Law Study
In q biennial legislative ses-
sion with the county board, the

NEA Called In by Teachers
To Scan MONTGOMERY Schools

At the request Of teachers
who say an "unbearable situa-
ton" exists in Montgomery
County schools. the National
Education Association has
agreed to undertake a prelimi-
nary study of county school
policy.
The NEA study was requested
by the Montgomery County
Education Associations Execu-
tive Committee of 1877 members.
The association represents IS
per cent Of the nearly 1000
teachers in the school system
and is an NEA affiliate.
If the preliminary study in
dicates to the NEA that full
scale investigation is needed. it
is conceivable that the NEA
ultimately could IMPOSE sane
tons against the county school
system.
NEA sanctions, imposed after
policy studies, could go as far
as recommending that all
teachers refuse to sign work
contracts with a particular
school system because Of the
educational climate, salary, or
other factors.
First Step of Probe
Arthur D. Simonds, jr., ex-
ecutive secretary Of the MEGA,
said today his group wants only
an NEA preliminary study to
see If 1t seems to the NEA
there is further need for a
thorough investigation Of school
board policies. An actual NEA
on-site investigation in Mont
gomery would require another
invitation by the MEGA, he
said, adding:
Sanctions are the last thing
we want here because they
would hurt the children in
classrooms. We hope we can
work out our differences with
the school board amicably."
The MEGA has been at odds
with the county school board
since last December when a
conservative majority took Of
flee on pledges to economic
and steer curricula toward a
basic education.
President Denies Charges
Charles w. Bell, school board
president, today defended board
actions and emphatically de-
MED the charge by Mr.. Simonds
that teachers are working in
an "unbearable situation"
The request for an NEA in
vestigation of the teaching cli-
mate stemmed from charges
that:

fidential personnel data at a
