TaWes Hit on Cut
In Colleges Funds
S12.3 Million
Plun Raped
AS Inadequate
BY PAUL HOPE
Star staff Writer

Gov. Tawes announced yes
terday a $12,345,8 300 capital
improvements program for
higher education facilities and
drew immediate criticism from
some education quarters that it
is not enough.
While Gov. Tawes' figure was
more than SO million above
current capital spending, it was
about $14 million less than
the institutions had asked for
1854.
The Governor earmarked
$6,391, 800 for projects on the
College Park campus of the
University of Maryland and
$1,117,000 for projects on the
university's Baltimore campus.
The university also got sos, 300
for the Maryland State College,
a primarily Negro institution
it operates at Princess Anne
on the Eastern Shore.
A total of $4,495, 400 was
listed for the five State teach
ers colleges, and it was in this
area that the complaints were
received.
S9.7 Million Sought
The State Board Of Educa-
ton, which runs the teachers
colleges, had asked for $9,747,-
900 to speed the conversion Of
the five colleges into full
fledged liberal arts institutions,
The Curlett Commission has
recommended, and Gov. Tawes
has Endorsed, a plan to convert
the teachers colleges. This con-
version is the key to the plan
for expanding higher education
facilities to meet needs Of the
growing college-age population.
Board of Education requests
for each Of the five teachers
colleges were cut, but the sharp
est slash was in requests for
Bowie, Towson and Salisbury
colleges.
The Bowie college in Prince
Georges County has been prim-
arily a Negro institution but
lately has been attracting white
students from the Belair sub
division recently built near it.
President William H. Henry Of
Bowie said he had hoped to
expand the college so it could
serve the rapidly-growing area
as a college Of arts and science
under the proposed conversion
program.
Robert Dubel, an official Of
the State Teachers Association,
said he was "gravely disappoint-
ed" at the cutbacks and that
his organization would ask the
Governor and General Assembly
to restore the full amounts re-
quested by the Board Of Edu-
cation.

He had words of praise for

Dor police, who, he said, did
all that was humanity possible
to keep the ship from sinking"
Mr.. Goldstein vowed that the
Mount Vernon would be raised
and. he hoped, refitted to carry
tourists down the Potomac in
the spring. He said he would
call in experts tomorrow to as
sess the situation and figure
out how to pump the estimated
2 million gallons Of water out
Of the hold. Heavy equipment
will have to be brought in, he
said, since none exists in the
Washington area.
Built in 1916
The Mount Vernon was built
in 1916 for the Wilson Line,
and was christened the City Of
Washington. She was refur-
bished in 1910 and renamed the
Mount Vernon in 1912.
The Mount Vernon is fitted
out with a dance hall, cocktail
lounge, gift shop and snack
bar, and rises four decks above
her engine room. In the sum-
mer season-April to Septem-
ber-she makes three round
trips daily to Mount Vernon
and Marshall Hall Park.
More than 100000 passen-
gers enjoy the Mount Vernon
cruises each year, and the ship
is often chartered by groups
for private excursions. Three

Foreign chanceries should be
barred from all areas in the
District zoned for single-family
detached homes, Board of CON-
missioners President Walter N.
Tobriner said today.
Mr.. Tobriner said that he
thinks the chanceries, the bust
ness offices Of foreign en-
bassies, should no more be al
lowed in single-family home
areas than any other CONNER
cial or business establishment.
The Soviet government is
now trying to move its Embassy
and chancery into a District
Chevy Chase area zoned R-l-A,
the top coming for single-family
detached houses.
Asked specifically where he
stood on the proposed Russian
move to 6036 Oregon avenue
NV, Mr.. Tobriner said ii
would not be proper for him to
express an opinion on this par
ticular case because it is now
under consideration by the
Board of Zoning Adjustment.

in the Chevy Chase area.
The Board of Zoning Ad-
justment may hand down a

posed move of the Russian
Embassy and Chancery to
Chevy Chase. The board viii
meet in executive session at
$3.50 am. Tuesday to consider
this case. The establishment OF
q Soviet Embassy hancery at
