Rioting Report Unfair
ToSchooIs, Hansen Says

The Citizens Committee re-
port on the Thanksgiving Day
rioting at D. c. Stadium is "un-
fair" in charging a wholesale
breakdown in school discipline,
District School Supt. Carl r.
Hansen declared today.
DR.. Hansen criticized the
general charge that discipline
is bad throughout the school
system" He said the report
failed to allow for variations,
including many schools with
excellent disciplinary records.
The superintendent also said
the report tends to impose
upon the schools responsibility
for difficulties" which actually
reflect serious community
problems.
MY judgment has been that
the Thanksgiving Day riots are
symptomatic of deepseated So
cial feelings" DR.. Hansen COM
mented.
Mirror Other Problems
The report fails to make the
point that school difficulties
mirror community difficulties, '
he added.
DR.. Hansen, however, COM
mended the committee for sew

particularly those dealing with

ers, revision of the basic track
and efficient reporting of law
violations to police.

erick j. Clarke, chairman OF

mittee, earlier had commented
that If Montgomery does drop
out, Il don't think 1t would
end the council Of govern
ments." But he admitted that
Montgomery has been one of
the mainStays of the council.
At issue is the $23, 400 mem
bership contribution the area
council has asked Montgomery
TO make. The Republican bloc
that controls the county coun-
Gil does not feel the council of
governments does enough to
justify such an expense.
Walker Doesn't Agree
Democratic Councilman Gro
/. yer K. Walker said he didn't
agree that the county should
pull out of the organization, but
suggested the county ask that
its contribution be trimmed.
Republican Councilman John
H. Hiser voted against the reso-
luton because he wants the
councilmen to take Montgomery
out of the Council Of Govern
ments Immediately.

Mr.. Carter asked If Mr.. Han

Mr.. Carter, who said he had
not been consulted on the rec

in County law during the coun-
ellis May legislative session.

Alcohol. regardless of whether

of beer or liquor is 10 times more
likely to have an accident than the

The drinking driver not only
increases his chances of having a

he will lose his privilege to drive
