Doctor Hits 'Medicare'

Adoption of the King-Ander-
son Medicare bill by Congress
would cost Maryland residents
$28 million a year in added
taxes, a Montgomery County
physician has charged.
DR.. McKendree Boyer, speak
ing as president of the Medical
and Chirurgical Faculty of
Maryland, assailed the pending
bill to give limited health care
benefits to persons over IS
years of age as a double-bar-
relied social security tax"
While providing assistance
for some persons already elig-
ible for social security and rail-
road retirement benefits, he de-
clared, the measure would re-
quire boost in general revenue
taxes for 2,500,000 others who
would not be assisted.
DR.. Boyer asserted the stag
gering cost of the so-called
Medicare program" would hit
the low income group of tax
payers hardest, since the tax
able base would be boosted from
$4,000 to $500 a year. Taxes
paid by employees in the $500

Tawes Approves
New University
Scholarships

Maryland Gov. ]. Willard
Tawes last week signed into law
a bill establishing IL graduate
teaching scholarships at the
University of Maryland.
The fellowships provide $4,000
each, for three years to gradu-
ates of Maryland colleges. Appli-
cants must be state residents,
and must give a surety bond to
teach for three years after CON-
pleting the course in a public
institution of higher learning in
Maryland.
The bill was introduced into
the House of Delegates by Edna
P. Cook of Silver Spring.
The governor also signed Mrs.
Cooks bill allowing the sale of
artificially sweetened ice cream
and ice milk, bill which Mrs.
Cook says will be of special in
terest to diabetes.

county areas, classes are small,
but are averaged in with over
loaded classes to bring about an
average of 80 pupils per class.
He noted that there are many
classes well over the 30 pupil
figure in the county such as 1893
science classes, TIA English
classes, and 271 foreign Ian.
guage classes.
Thomas asserted that while
there was no agreement as to
the Optimum size of q class,
there was unanimous agree
ment among educators Of the
desirability % smaller as
against larger classes.
1t was Briggs position that
the Council had to evaluate
school needs along with other
county facility needs, that 1t
had to allocate the financial re-
sources of the County among
all other such needs.
Thomas asserted that there
were ample funds to provide for
all such needs without cutting
the school program. He also
referred to a school budget sur.
plus of about 100000. Briggs
stated that the final RESPONSE
bility rests with the County
Council, but admitted that the
Council did not have the author
ity to tell the school board
whether to fill certain positions.
Thomas stated that there was
a serious question as to the
validity of the Councils action
in the light of the state law as
it applies to schools in the Coun-
ty.
Briggs urged greater Co
operation between the school
board and the County Coun-
ell and expressed hope that
there would be a continuing
review Of the budget through.
out the year on at least a
quarterly basis, including the
school board budget.
Thomas warned that this cut
will seriously impair the school
system and that in most cases
it will not be adding one or two
more pupils to a classroom but
several times that number.

Lets Start
Working Is
Briggs Plea,

Lets put away our handker-
chiefs and start working"
stated John F. Briggs, fiscal
consultant to the Montgomery
County Council, in defending
the Councils action in cutting
the budget of the School Board.
Briggs statement was made
during a debate between him
and former school board mem
Der and president, William r.
Thomas, III, on the controver.
sial cuts made by the Council in
the boards budget request.
The debate, sponsored by the
Glenmont & Vicinity Citizens
Association, was an open-to-the.
public program held at its regu-
lar May meeting at Glenmont
School Monday night.
Thomas urged the audience
of approximately IS persons to
continue the fight to restore the
cut in funds in order to prevent
downgrading of the county's
educational system.
Stressing he was speaking for
himself alone and not for the
Council, Briggs remarked that
there is nothing sacrosanct in
the size of a class whether it be
80, 80, Do or So" He noted that
in kindergarten enrollments, IS
per cent are in classes of 35 or
less; in grades one to six, 81 per
cent are in classes of 81 or less.
He asserted that some educa.
tors favor large classes and
argued that the result of the
cut would still permit a county
average class size of about 80
pupils.
Briggs maintained that the
school system was flexible and
that with support from the ad.
ministration of the system, ad.
justments could be made within
the system to compensate for
the cuts. He stated that while
there might be a difference of
opinion as to the merits of
what the Council had done, it
had exercised its judgment in
the matter and should be given
a chance to see how that judg-
ment worked out.
In answer to question by
former school board member
Rose Kramer as to whether the
cut in supplemental services
such as deletion of counsellors,
sabattical leaves and the like
would not affect the recruiting
OF high caliber teachers for the
Montgomery County school sys.
TEN, Briggs implied that it
might, but that not all teach.
ers are in favor of such supple
mental services and the cuts
would not necessarily eliminate
all such services entirely.
Thomas charged that Briggs
in his written memorandum of
recommendations to the Coun.
Gil for school cuts had made
some serious errors of fact. He
stressed particularly that Briggs
had assumed a 6-period teach
ing day while the school system
actually operates under a 5-per-
iod per day plan. He pointed
out that for six years the school
board had operated under a
policy Of approaching the prob
lem of classroom size on a
school-by-school basis and had
never approached it on a coun-
ty.wide average basis.
Such averaging, he asserted,
promotes gross distortion in
that small special classes for
special subjects or in some up

Officials, Stellhorn said he did
not want to comment at this
time.
lie confirmed, however, that
he had been informed by Jesse
F. Nicholson, executive secre-
tary of the M-NCPPC, a week
ago of the commissioners deci-
sion that he should resign.
Brewer denied emphatically
that the custer wss in any way
linked to wishes of the Mont
gomery County Council or the
Prince Georges County Com
i1lissioners or the fact that the
sM-NCPPC recently acquired a
new full-time commissioner,
William j. Stevens, of Prince
Georges County.
He also denied In response
TO a question that there were
any political understones in
the development.
Brewer said Stellhorn and
-the full commission had a "very
pheasant understanding an d
athere was no friction. I hope
The gets another job soon and I
fdon't think he will have much
trouble" he added.
The full commission was not
kpreesnt when the decision was
fmade two weeks ago, Brewer
snoted, but he added: 1--WE have
all been together since then and
1--WE are all unanimous on the
Sxubject."
He said some commissioners
had not been satisfied with
Stellhorn's performance for
some time" The official said
The first became dissatisfied with
fthe planning director himself
several months ago when," he
said, ut appeared Mr.. Stellhorn
WANTED to be the head OF plan
ming and a commissioner, too"
Il have 80 people working
for me in my business and
thave delegated a lot of author
sity. But when we get together
sand weigh various ideas and
make the decision as to how
things are going to be, / expect
fmy subordinates to carry it out
with the same enthusiasm they
had for their own plan"
"The commission, after all,
lis the one that must take the
responsibility for what Is
done-not the planning staff"
he added.
when Bill Burrage( former
planning Director William C.
Burrage) left five years ago,
sArthur wanted the job and the
opportunity and said we should
give him a chance. So we did,"
he said.
Nov we are going to have
to recruit for a truly, profess
ssional planner and I'm afraid
wen have to pay more than
$4,000" Brewer said.
The official said he wanted to
Semphasize that departure of
fStellhorn would not in any way
saffect the commissions ability
ito execute its proposed General
fPlan which calls for an elab-
sorate system of population cor.
