A lecture on fracture-type in
juries last night began an adj
vanced training program for
members of rescue squads in
Montgomery County. DR.. Allen

entation in Carter Hall.
The intensive training pro-
gram includes a series of lee

field in which they specialize.
Films and question and answer
sessions also highlight the
classes. A second phase of the
program will consist of actual
emergency room procedures at

Fifty hours of instruction are
required for passing the stand
ard course, and an additional 70
hours for the advanced course.

lion.
The state aid for education
legislation and the accompany.
ing tax provision were immedi-
ately endorsed by five promi-
nent statewide organizations.
In a joint statement, the
Maryland Association of Boards
Of Education, the Maryland AS
ISOLATION of School Superinten-
dents, the Maryland Congress of
Parents and Teachers, the Mary
land Library Association, and
the Maryland State Teachers
Association stated:
1--WE are most grateful to the
senator's and delegates who have
sponsored this monumental pro-
gram of school legislation. We
are encouraged by the great
number of other legislators who
have indicated that they will
support this legislation.
Passage of this legislative
proposal would represent the
first major change since 1922
in the formula for distributing
state aid for education. In re.
cent years, the state minimum
salary schedule for teachers has
lost its significance as all of our
local school systems have found
it necessary to exceed substan-
TALLY the inundated salary
levels. The new system will re-
late the cost of education direct
ly to pupils and will be more
responsive to change and local
needs"
In transferring from a teach
ers' salary base to the per pupil
unit basis in distributing state
aid, pupils would be weighted
according to the levels of in
struction. For example, kinder
garten pupils would count as u
units, pupils in grades l through
6 would each be the equivalent
of l unit, and students in grades
7 through II would each be
rated as / and Il units. In 1861
1862 there were 610,562 pupils
enrolled in grades 1 through II
of the Maryland public schools.
In converting this figure, in
GLIDING the kindergarten pro-
gram, a new total of 750,945
pupil units would be established.
The new program would be
based on minimum program
of 1925 per pupil unit. On the
average, this minimum program
would be shared by the State

Laurie Riggs
Dead After
Long Illness

Funeral services were held at
St. Timothy's Episcopal Church
in Gainesville for Laurie
Howard Riggs, member of
well known Montgomery coun.
ty family and Maryland at.
torney, who died at Keswick, a
convalescent home in Baltimore,
after an extended illness.
Burial was in the Riggs IA

Johns Church in Olney.
The son of the late Samuel
and Laura Riggs of near Lay.
louisville, Mr.. Riggs devoted his
legal practice to the Baltimore
area, where he began his career
in 1902. He served as librarian
of the Bar Library of Baltimore
for % years, relinquishing the
post in 1858 due to illness, and
was an active member of the
American Association of Law
Libraries, serving as its presi-
dent in 1947.
At the outbreak of World
l, Mr.. Riggs offered his serv-
ices to the government and was
sent to Fort Myer for training.
When he found he was not con-
sidered robust enough for for.
eign duty by the Army, he re-
signed and joined the YMCA,
for which he served as an over.
seas representative near the
front" in France until the end
of the war.
He was a member of the Bar
Association of Baltimore City,
the Maryland Bar Association
and the American Bar Associa-
ton, and was also an active
member of two dinner clubs
associated with the legal pro.
fession, the Barristers and the
Trial Table
Beyond his professional inter.
ests, Mr.. Diggs devoted much
of his time to the development
of vegetable and flower gardens
at his home in Gainesville and
was a keen student of history.
He is survived by his wife,
the former Sally Rutherford
Carter of Fredericksburg, Va,
whom he married in 1918; two
sisters, Mrs. Harold DeWolfe, of
Bristol, RI, and Mrs. Oliver
Ricketson, of South Dartmouth,
Mass, and a brother, Douglas

and the political subdivisions on
a $3.50 basis.
Enactment of the new propo-
sal would not mean that the
State would finance so per cent
of the total current expenses of
education in Maryland, because
all the counties and Baltimore
City will still spend substantial
funds in excess of the recon-
mended minimum of 1925 per
pupil unit. The State is cur
rently financing approximately
38 per cent of the total operat-
ing expenses of our public
schools. 1t is estimated that the
new program would raise the
States share of the total educa-
ional program to approximate
ly 40 per cent.
The proposed school finance
plan also includes an incentive
for reducing class size. School
systems employing more than
38 professional employees per
1000 pupil units would receive
an additional SIS per pupil unit
for each staff member in excess
of 38 per 1000. Currently, only
Montgomery County would
qualify under this feature of
the bill.

ST Million More
County Would Gain Under
New State School Aid Bill

ANNAPOLIS - Companion
bills have been introduced in
the Senate and House of Dele
gates to establish a new plan of
state school finance which
would distribute state aid to
education on a per-pupil unit
basis instead of through the
state minimum salary schedule
for teachers.
Significant support for the
legislation was in evidence as
IL senator's and SO delegates
sponsored the bills. The spon.
sorship was bipartisan.
The proposal would distribute
an additional $14.8 million to
the counties and Baltimore City
for school programs. 1t would
be financed by reducing the ex.
emption on the state income tax
from $500 to $500. Since the
rate on state income tax is three

School Board
Primary Bill
Introduced

ANNAPOLIS - Republican
members of the Montgomery

Delegation Chairman James

the bill will insure that the

county, whether they are affil-

not, to vote in a nonpartisan
primary" he added.
An advantage Of the plan, he
said, Is that it will provide

Go West!

Richard M. Nixon sounded a little
bit like California Chamber of
Commerce drim-beater here when he
suggested that no Republican lacking
the nerve to enter the Golden State
primary next June will deserve the
@. o. P. presidential nomination. II all
the possible candidates as Cover
nors Rockefeller, Romney and Scranton,
Senator Goldwater and few dark horses
pick up this challenge, there is sure
to be a travel boom out In the big State.
The number of correspondents covering
such campaign, on expense accounts,
would be enough to help the California
tourist revenues substantially.
But anyway, when Mr.. Nixon calls
for others in his party to stand up and
make their fight he is not asking for
anything he did not do himself. He
absorbed couple of rough lickings, and
tossed few hard words at the press on
a morning after, but he was able TO take
1t as we'll as to dish II out. BY and large,
politics is not for gentle people. None Of
the @. o. P. front runners seems to be
in this category, so perhaps they should
heed the Nixon advice to go West"

First Look at the Market

r The Securities and Exchange Com
mission and the Woodworking task force
that has just made public the first
portion of its Special Study Of Securities
Markets are deserving well done" on
the basis of evidence thus far. ...r
AS promised, the technical staff that
has been engaged in this job for the past
10 months produced no circus-like at
mosphere and engaged in no witch-hunt.
In the course of painstaking examination
of evidence and hearing Of testimony
there were no pictures taken Of midgets
posing on the knee of a witness, as
happened during the dramatic Senate
inquiry into banking and market prac-
tees in the early l9S0s. And the Ian
guage of the study chapters released
this week is reasoned and temperate.
This is not moderation to point Of
meekness or superficiality. This has
been without doubt the most thorough
study in depth, since the SEC was es-
tablished, of practices prevailing In the
securities markets. It found that finn
portant problems do exist, grave abuses
do occur, and additional controls and
improvements are needed" 1t went
further-to identify practices that OBJ
viously are bad, and in some cases to
name companies and individuals who
have been engaged In such practices.
AS 1t happens, some of the discreditable
examples involved the manipulation of
publicity (almost like managing the
news) and in some cases by those who
had clear access to potentially gullible
reading public. tn..
Furthermore, the study committees
report included recommendations Of
what to do about the troubles and faults
that 1t found. Some require legislation,
some may be dealt with by SEC regula-
ton, and others fall into the province Of
self-regulatioi1 which the securities
marketing community favors in many
respects and which 1t actually is doing
in reasonably good measure. Signifi-
cantly, most spokesman fof this COM
munity are being guarded in their initial
comments about the report. Certainly
until it is studied carefully, and perhaps
until the remaining chapters have been
released, this is reasonable attitude.
There may, in fact, be some eburrs
nesting in the fine print or about to
emerge in some of the promised legisla-
tive. proposals. tAat
In the last analysis, however, the
party most concerned about the conduct
Of the securities markets and what the
SEC group, found is the public-at the
moment an estimated II million persons,
many Of them men and women Of very
limited means, who own securities and
who may need or wish to buy or sell.
For this public there should be reas-
surance in the committees statement
that 1t found no picture Of "pervasive
fraudulent activities" and that its re-
port should not impair public confidence
in the securities markets, but should
strengthen 1t as suggestions for raising
standards are put into practice"

President Under Fire

Although the voice Of his critics
is being heard throughout the land,
there Is no reason that we know Of to
feel sorry for John F. Kennedy. In the
first place. the President does not seem
to feel sorry for himself. It may re-
quire some effort on his part, but he
manages to convey the impression that
If this is not the best Of all possible
worlds, 1t is at least one with which
he is more or less satisfied. Again,
II the failures and the complaints
are CALLING, Mr.. Kennedy begged and
pleaded back in the campaign days
for the chance to expose himself to
this sort Of thing. And finally, the
President has only himself to blame
for much Of the disenchantment which
has set In. t~
It certainly is true that the bloom
is off the New Frontier. Performance
has fallen far short Of promise. America
is not moving again." People are still
asking what their country will do for
them, not what they can do for their
country. In short, the chickens which
Matched from extravagant campaign
promises have come home to roost, and
Kennedy administration, which is
beginning to look very much like an
Eisenhower administration, will simply
have to learn to live with them.
Except In the sense of having
promised more than he could deliver,
we do not think the President deserves
all or even most Of the criticism now
coming his way. For the problems with
which he is confronted are not readily
amenable to solution. The growing hosts
Of volunteer advisers keep saying that
Mr.. Kennedy should take the initiative,
that he should "do something" I'm
fortunately they do not say what that
something is, and, Of course, they do
not know.
Rhetoric may be useful tool, and
the President, especially in the early
days, did not hesitate to employ it. But
it is tool that becomes dulled with
excessive use, and It's effectiveness in
any event is limited. 1t will not move
a Congress which really is listening to
the voices from back home voices
which do not speak Of any wide
spread dissatisfaction among the people.
Rhetoric will not increase employment
or speed up the economy. It is wasted
on such problems as General de Gaulle,
Cuba, NATo, Southeast Asia, nuclear
testing, etc.
The truth is that these problems
cannot be solved" in the sense In
which that term generally is used. Some
Of them can be alleviated a bit. Some
perhaps can be managed" Others,
hopefully, can be lived with. But the
President cannot wave magic wand
and thereby cause any of them to 90
away. We are only kidding ourselves
II we believe otherwise.
