Four Delegates
Vote Against
Statewide Plan

The Administrators pub
lie accommodations bill was
approved by the House of
Delegates Tuesday in a move
opposed by four Montgomery
County delegates - one of
them declaring he finds the
proposal so inadequate that
he intends to introduce a
substitute measure of his
own ''having some teeth"
Before the measure came to a
vote, Del. James r. Miller Jr.
took the floor and expressed
his opposition on the ground
that the exemption of II of the
% counties from its provisions
nullified it's effects. 1T is not
an act of craftsmanship to act
this way" Miller declared in
announcing his opposition.
Instead of approving the
Legislative act, Miller said, he
will introduce a Constitutional
amendment outlawing discrim'
ination in public restaurants on
the grounds of race, creed or
color. AS a Constitutional re.
quirement, he pointed out, no
county or city could exempt
itself from the provisions.
Opposing the Administration
bill along with Miller were
DeIs. w. Perry Doing, John f.
McInerney and James S. Nc,
Auliffe. The other six members
of the Montgomery County
delegation supported it.
The public accommodations
measure was approved by a
vote of 1904, surprisingly one
sided in view of objections pre-.
viously expressed to some fea
lures of the proposal. However.
it took place after word spread
that the administration was
solidly behind a proposed
future amendment under which
taverns would be exempted
from the law, according to State
House reports.

Race Law Hearing Set;
Miller Hits Legislators
Accommodations
Repeal Will Be
Aired April 10

The public will be given
an opportunity to demon
strate its reaction to County
Councilman Henry Hiser's
determined stand against
the existing public accommo-
dations ordinance, the Coun-
ty Council decided yesterday.
On a motion introduced by
Hiser himself, the council called
for a public hearing on the Re-
publican officials proposal that
the interracial accommodations
law be repealed, and tentatively
set the date for April 10 in a
nearby high school auditorium
or other public place capable of
accommodating a turnout ex-
pected to be much larger than
could be heard in the councils
own chamber.
Although only one of the two
Democratic members, Council
man Grover K. Walker, voted
against the proposal, it was OBJ
viously another indication of the
growing difference of opinion
between party members of the
council. The other Democrat,
Jerry T. Williams, said he would
not oppose the measure as long
as he was assured it called for
nothing more than public
hearing on the issue. Beyond
that, l have nothing to add"
he commented tersely.
The motion was supported by
all four of the Republican men,
bers present, including Presi-
dent John A. Floyd, DR.. Thomas
M. Wilson, Kathryn E. Diggs
and Hiser.
During a brief discussion Of
the measure, Walker said he
felt the council should take no
stand on the issue at this time,
inasmuch as the State LegisIa-
ture is currently considering a
proposal to eliminate discrimi.
nation on a statewide basis.
That's just why 1 think we
should act now" Hiser snapped.
ut could be that the Legisla-
lures vote could be affected by
whatever action we take"

mel work for every 5000 pupils.
We also note that the current
level of supervisors is seven

Studies the group made show
''that salaries paid experienced
teachers is still more than
$1,000 below government and
industry salary scales for en-
ployes with similar education

clared.

standard on pupils per class
room is Is, the P-TA leaders
said, but in Montgomery Coun-
ty "the great proportion of our
secondary classes exceeded 30
and 35 students per class.

cerned about the 40 English
classes that exceed 35 students,
the 153 social study classes that

the standard and the 81 science
classes that are larger than IS

CityHeads
Deny Plea
ByBullard

A proposed reduction in
the right-of-way width of
Jefferson st. in downtown
Rockville, sought as a means
of providing additional space
for a new office building to
be erected by a Rockville at
torney, was turned down by
the city council Monday
night.
The Council "regretfully" re-
jected the request of Attorney
Robert E. Billiard on the
ground that Jefferson Street
has been proposed as one of the
principal arterial links to be de-
veloped under the city's Urban
Renewal program. Their posi-
ton was bolstered by a report
from City Manager Walter
Scheiber expressing the view
that maintenance of the arterial
width would not seriously re-
tard construction plans.
Billiard has applied for a per-
init for construction of a two
story office building on Jeffer-
son Street between S. Washing
ton and S. Adams Streets, oppo-
site the existing Jefferson
Building. His request called for
construction of a 36-foot wide
pavement within a 50.foot right
of-way.
However, John Gray, director
of public works, recommended
enforcement of plans for a 49,
foot pavement within a 70-foot
right-of.way. In his memo
randum, he noted that Jeffer-
son Street will be a principal
east-west link in the future
Urban Renewal street plan.
81 realize, of course, that this
may somewhat discriminate
against this developer at this
time because of the fact that
other development has been
permitted on this street in the
past few years with only con-
Torrance to primary residential
standards being required" Gray
said in his memorandum to the
council.
However, I do feel that the
citys action from this time on
concerning the Urban Renewal
Area must be influenced by the
development that will be caused
by the Urban Renewal Pro-
gram"

With the assistance of her
sonin-law and some friends,
Jesse E. Williams raised enough
money to bring her home
improvement payments up to
date shortly before the sale was

Carver Rd.
In the absence of her hus-

she had not seen since he went
to work Jan. z saying he would
return home with a pay check
later in the day, she was not
sure how many months of delin-
quent payment were involved.
However, Mrs. Williams said
she and her husband had been
paying at the rate of $66 a
month on improvements under
taken about two years ago on
the single-stOry dwelling. The
projects included installation of
an indoor oil heater and applica-

exterior walls of the small
home.
While Mrs. Williams said she
recalled that the original con-
tract involved an expenditure of
about $1,000, Circuit Court rec
ords on which the Sheriff's sale
were based showed a current
repair debt of more than 81, 100,
bolstered by attorneys fees of
$500 resulting from the court
action and assessed against the
defendants.
The court records listed the
complainant in the suit as the
Delaware Valley Financial Corp.
Mrs. Williams said her hus-
band had had been purchaser of
the house long before their mar
riage three years ago, but that
she had been a co-signor to the
improvement contract about a
year later and usually contri-
buted to the payments. Until he

Withdrawal
Voted ~
By William III. Smith
Sentinel Reporter

In another inter-party
clash between newly-elected
and veteran members, the
County Council agreed Tues
day to withdraw the county
from membership in the
Metropolitan w a S h j ngton
Council of Governments at
the end of the current fiscal
year.
1t was clear political split in
which Republicans John A.
Floyd, Council president; John
Henry Hiser, DR.. Thomas NJ.
Wilson and Kathryn E. Diggs
overrode Democrats Grover K.
Walker and Jerry T. Williams
on the withdrawal proposal
introduced by Miss Diggs.

ed aside a substitute motion by
Walker, proposing that the
county continue its member
ship for at least year to give
new members an opportunity
to "see what is really going on"
The anticipated withdrawal
climaxed several weeks grow
ing criticism by Council mem
bers of the cost of membership
in the Metropolitan Council in
relation to potential benefits.
1t followed by a week an ap-
parent last-ditch effort by rep
resentatives of the group to
convince Council members of
the membership advantages.
Miss Digs motion for with
drawal, made without comment,
was followed by Walkers sub
stitute motion. There followed
brief discussion in which Re
publican members cited con-
tinuous growth in membership
costs since the group was form
ed 10 years ago, leading to a
current request for an eXpen-
diture of $23,4OO next year.
In citing the newest cost,
Floyd quoted a former Council
member - whom he did not
identify-as saying the Council
originally joined the group
under the impression it was to
be a volunteer" organization
with secretraial service to be
provided by the District Com
missioners. Since then, he said,
things have changed consider

Councilman Hiser said when
he first learned of county parti-

In response to Walkers sug-
gestion that the membership be
continued for a year, Miss
Diggs said the existing mem
bership will continue until
July. 'That should give us
plenty of time to see what is
going on" she said, "and if we
find out we are wrong, we can
always repeal our action"
The discussion came to an
end with two quick az votes
the first rejecting Walkers sub
stitute motion and the second
terminating the countys mem
bership in the Metropolitan
organization.
