The Districts efforts to pro-
tect the health of yesterdays
civil rights marchers were gen.
orally successful, officials felt
today. But there was one big
goof-a failure to review the
menus planned for National
Guardsmen and District police
Because OF this, hundreds OF
chicken dinners were discard
ed and many men had to
scramble for food as they
could.
The order to collect the
meals was made after several
men fell i'll late in the after
noon from what was suspected
to be food poisoning.
Asked by police for advice
tired health officials muttered
that the advice should have
been asked for several days
ago so that the menu could
have been revised TO eliminate
foods which make good breed
ing ground for bacteria.
The Districts health direc-
tor, DR.. Murray Grant, was
told that the police dinners
had lain unrefrigerated fol-
most Of the day. He said there
were fried chicken, cole slaw
and cream-filled cupcakes in
one OF the box dinners he ex-
amined. He advised police that
the cautious thing TO do would
be to avoid eating any more
of the box dinners.

Crime Drops Overnight;
March Plans Credited

Major crime in the District
dropped substantially over
night, according to police, who
credited the decrease to elabo-
rate publicity given to the
number of law enforcement
officers who would be on duty
during the civil rights march
Police Inspector Richard j.
Felber, assistant chief of detec-
tives, said that in the 24-hour
period ending at 8 am. today
there were reports of three
houSebreakings, two grand lar
cenieS and one pickpocket case
One man was arrested as a
pickpocket on a robbery charge
and a 22-year-old Cincinnati
(Ohio) woman, a field worker
for the Student Non-violent
Co-ordinating Committee, re-
ported to police that she was
raped.
But the woman signed ar
affidavit saying she did not
want to prosecute.

law" Mr.. Bell declared. The
hearing date is set for October
9, but apparently his mind is
already made up"
Mr.. Bell was referring to a
statement made yesterday by
Robert Murphy, assistant State
attorney general, at a meeting
of the State Board of Educa-
ton in Baltimore on a petit
ton filed by the Montgomery
County Council of Parent
Teachers Associations. TIL e
PTA claimed that the County
Council in effect overtaxed resi-
dents because it did not appro-
pirate all revenues derived
from the school tax.
Asks More Time
Mr.. Murphy told the board
that the charges made by the
PTA, if true, present a "prima
facie case of violation of the
public school laws"
1--WE have advised the State
Board of Education to hold a
hearing to determine whether
the allegations (of the PTA)
are true" Mr.. Murphy said.
The board unanimously de-
cided to hold the hearing Octo-
Der 8.
The PTA, in a 3O-page petit
ton, charged that the county
council stepped outside its
legal bounds because it de-
termined educational policy by
making severe budget cuts.
Charles Prettyman, counse,
for the county school board
requested that he be allowed
time to prepare a brief in an
swer to the PTA's charges.
Willard Case, PTA president
urged the State board to con.
duct the hearings early in view
of the urgency of the con.

man asked the State board to
reword its July 2 directive that
no county education officials
transfer ANY employee per-
sonnet records containing fin
gerprint cards or other infor-
nation to any local or State
Acknowledgement agency. :"
The Montgomery County Edu-
cation Association, representing
county teachers. had protested
the board of education's prac-
tice of fingerprinting employees
in the county school system.
The State board issued It's
directive to prevent the whole
sale transfer of private records
to other agencies.
Mr.. Prettyman objected to
the use of the words "or other
information" saying it would
needlessly hamstring the board
of education in it's investigation
of applicants.
David Cahoon, counsel for
the education association, said
his group did not object to the
transfer of records where it
was needed for the investiga-
ton and when the board in
formed the individual of its in
tended action.
Prayer Directive
The State board suggested
that Mr.. Prettyman submit his
recommendation for rewording
to the board at a later meeting.
Thomas G. Pullen, jr., State
superintendent of schools, an
nounced that he had sent a
directive to all school super
intendentS informing them Of
the recent Supreme Court de-
cision banning compulsory Bible
reading or recitation of prayers
in school exercises.
Mr.. Pullen also noted in his
letter:
ANY attempt to circumvent
the decision of the Supreme
Court by indirection or chican-
cry would be improper and not

ton of the public schools Of
