not just around the school
building itself.
The children have been in
structed not to pick up glass,
rusty metal, or other materials
on which they might hurt
themselves. When they see
things of this sort, they are
supposed to call it to the at
tention of some older person
nearby, and hope that they will
dispose of it. But anything that
crinkles or rustles is fair game.
A large shopping bag full
of waste paper will count ten
points toward the rooms total,
and a large regular old paper
bag will count five points.
Smaller containers will receive
proportionately fewer points.
The room which has the highest
number of points on the morn
ing of May 18th will receive
a prize donated by the school.
All waste paper thus accum-
ulated will be hauled away to
the city incinerator by Board
of Education trucks. This trash,
in short, will receive just about
as much attention as trash
ever gets. But the school be-
lieves that it will be worth
the effort if the adults in the
area, aware of what the chill
dren are doing, do their own
share in cleaning up the
neighborhood centered around
Superior and Euclid.

Silver Spring route, called the
north central corridor, be con-
sidered the interstate route.
Mr.. Funk said the State
Roads Commission feels both
the Wisconsin avenue and
north central freeways are
needed.
The transportation agency
has proposed that two inter-
state routes, 70S and 95 (the
latter is the third route to Bal
timore), be combined into one
six-lane freeway along the rail-
road tracks.

said.
If these people have been

assessors mistake and not the

Prince Georges and Mont

Mrs. Burton Shipley, a spokes-

Governors office said no action
will be taken on the boundary

"If the Senator asks that the
bill be vetoed, the Governor
probably will go along with the
request" the spokesman added

Maryland's new "shoestring"
5th Congressional District may
present a knotty problem to
d mocratic Representative
Landlord, who would have to
run in 1t.
Mr.. Landlord has repre-
sented the 5th -Maryland's
most populous and which ranks
fifth largest in the Nation
since 1854.
The new 5th was defined in
a bill which passed the Gen.
eral Assembly last month. IN
der its provisions, the consti-
tuency which Mr.. Landlord has
represented was cut about in
halt taking away from him
Prince Georges, which always
has given him whopping ma
jorities, and Charles and st.
Marys Counties, where he al
ways has done we'll.
The new district, If finally
adopted, would leave Mr.. Lank-
ford with his home county of
Anne Arundel, plus Howard
and Calvert. 1t also would give
him Carroll, which in recent
years has leaned toward the
Republican side.
Although he has received
pluralities in his home county
in recent years, he lost 1t to
Republican William B. Prem
dergast in 1866 by 1855 votes.
Anne Arundel last year also
elected a Republican State
Senator, Joseph A. Alton, who
is already being touted as a
possible COP. nominee for
Congress.
Calvert, which has supported
Mr.. Landlord heavily. elected
Republican State legislators.
including state Senator Ed
ward T. Hall. Only Howard,
among the counties in the new
district, is considered as safe"
for Democratic congressional
candidates.

New Congressional District Poses
Knotty Vote Problems for Landlord

ton r. Sickles, the Prince
Georges Democrat Who was
forced to run at-large la year
because the league petitioned
his 9th district to referendum.
If the new district with
stands the leagues attempts to
abolish 1t, Mr.. Sickles will have
a district consisting Of Prince
Georges, Charles and st. Marys
Counties.
Were not very optimistic
about the outcome Of all this"
one of his aides said" We're
planning to run at-large again
in 1854"
Although the Governors
plan gives r. Hef to the 5th
District cutting in half its
population and area-it still
leaves the State with many
inequities, and gives Mr.. Lank-
ford a district about 1876 miles
long and about 80 miles wide
at its widest point, in Carroll
County.
According to the League. the
inequities are best illustrated
by comparing the LIST district
on the Eastern Shore, with 244,-
900 residents, and the oh, with
100000 residents, in Western
Maryland.
Mr.. Sickles, who often has
decried the strains - financial
and physical-of running at
large, has introduced a bill re-
quiring Congress to force re-
districting after every Federal
census. The criteria would be
compactness, district wide sim
ilarity Of interes. and popula-
tons as nearly equal popula-
ton as possible.
Nobody feels that the pro-
posed new 5th district will lead
to Mr.. Landlords downfall. He
still has hos some county Of
Anne Arundel, together with
Howard and Calvert ION the
old 5th. But the loss of Prince
Georges could cause a re-eval-
uation of campaign strategy.

The long-awaited engineering
and right-of-way study for a
freeway and transit line be-
tween Silver Spring and down.
town Washington is expected
to start this week, officials said
yesterday.
Although the study is pri-
marily for the freeway, the con-
tract calls for the consultant
to make special studies to de-
termine whether enough right
of-way should be purchased for
mass transit lines in the median
strip.
A proposal for the freeway
to be built on both sides of
the Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad
with transit lines using the
railroad right-of-way, will be
a major area for study.
The cost of a similar TO-
mile freeway in 1860 was esti-
mated at S110 million. This
cost estimate is expected to
change.
John B. Funk. director of the
Maryland State Roads Commits
sion, said that the contract has
been approved by the Federal
Bureau of Public Roads. The
consultant. J. e. Greiner CON-
pany, also has approved the
terms Of the contract. Mr.. Funk
said.
The preliminary report from
the consultant is expected
within six months. The con-
sultant is to review later the
Wisconsin Avenue corridor, and
update previous studies.
The area to be covered by
the consultant Is between Rock
Greek Park and a line Just east

THE Catcher in the Rye" Is
a frank appraisal of life in New
York City through the eyes OF
a l6-Year-old boy. 1t has been
widely acclaimed by critics
since its publication several
years ago, and frequently has
been described as a sad" story
when read in its entirety. II
also exposes the "phonyism" OF
adult life as seen through the
eyes of youth.
II consider 1t to be a fine
work." Miss Butler said. 1T is
one Of the best examples Of
contemporary American litera-
ture. I had read 1t several years
ago in England"

as having been written in the
vocabulary of an American boy
rather than an English boy.
MY view is that you will
find a great number of works
considered to be Objectionable
because they contain swear
words or indecent words, but
that does not mean they are
to be considered unfit for seri-
Gus study.
IF you study a number of
great works, Shakespearian and
Biblical, you will find words to
which you make take exception"
Notified Children
Questioned about the spe-
cific complaint that the book
was read aloud in class, Miss
Butler expressed the regret
that parents had failed to
come directly to her with their
objections.
II wish the invitation I gave
to the children at the begin
ming of our study (of the book
had been carried home" she
added. II told them that some
parents may object and If they
do, will you please ask them
to call me back or leave word
at the office so I can tell them
why it is being offered.
81 told them that there would
be words and phrases which
would be Objectionable and
that our study did not mean
that I approved Of my or their
using them.
"Basically 1t is a very sad
book. 1t reveals the very phony-
ness of the adult world to a
child of this age"
Miss Butler had no word OF
criticism for the parents or
the school officials over the
turn Of events. Her reaction
was one of concern over the
possible harm the incident may
have on future teacher ex-
change programs.

sisted on a tax cut without cur
failing expenditures.
So long as President Johnson
must utilize his compromising art,
it is good that it will be toward a
reduction in Federal spending.
In this connection, it should be
mentioned often that as spending
increases the debt rises simulta-
neously and, conversely, as spend
ing decreases, so does the debt.
That is because so much of the
governments operations are on
credit. 1t is not as if the govern
ment lived within income and
could afford to splurge.
Extending this modus o%perandi,
it is important to look what hap
pens to the cost of servicing the
debt - something usually over
looked when the charts go up or
down. AT the moment, the taxpay-
ers are paying the staggering sum
of 100000 600, 900 (billions!) in in
terest on the debt each year. The
only way this debt-and the inter-
est - can be reduced is to cut
spending and apply the savings
there.
This is why those Congress
men who insist that a tax cut be
accompanied by a reduction in
spending take such an adamant
position.
