Alarming Visit

The visit that Mr.. Thomas
G. Pullen, State Superintend-
ent of Education, made to the
Montgomery County School
Board on Wednesday, June 5,
was alarming.
The visit was alarming in
his urging the Board to pro-
coed as planned with $500,000
of construction at the Mont
gomery County Junior College
in Takoma Park, although con.
sideration is now being given
to disposing of this location
considered outgrown and OBJ

cause it presented a yelled
threat of the withdrawal or
denial of state educational aid
if the Board turned over to the

ployees.
The visit was alarming that
he could take these extreme
public positions without prior
study of data that was in his
hands in ample time and in
support of the Board position.
Following his statements, the
audience became loud and
rude as the Board majority
sought to clarity their posi-.

From This Angle
CrumbIing Walls

The walls were high and in some areas,
solid and impregnable Some were invisible
and had no apparent base, but they were just
as stout and rigid as the Great Wall of China.
Of all the walls of segregation, none was
more shameful than the invisible wall de-
scribed by Ralph McGill, editor of the Allan.
tic Constitution, in an April Atlantic article
entitled, 1.-THE South Has Many Faces"
In 1889 after visiting some Georgia farms
with Negro agricultural agent, McGill tells
of accepting an invitation to the agents home
for glass of iced tea The agent advised him
not to be surprised and to understand when
he saw the home.
They drove to the Negroes home, a wealth
er.stained house with a yard of dirt. Inside
the house the Transformation was startling.
The living room sparkled with the bright,
stained paneling of pine. Bright rag rugs
were on the floor, prints of rural scenes hung
on the wall, and an upright piano stood In one
corner.
The Negroes explanation was simple: But
it's the best this way. A lot of people wouldn't
understand. A lot of people are funny about
things. They think you are getting too big for
your place, or putting on airs Some didn't
like it. So we just don't attract attention. We
leave the outside like it is But we live on the
inside. They don't come, you know. They
holler and go out"
Here was a Negro agricultural agent
noted for his dedication to helping his fellow
men to a better life. Here was a man and a
woman with son in the United States Army.
Here was man and woman who believed in
working hard to provide an attractive and
clean home-on the inside, that is. The out

County Affairs
Mushrooming Problem

Like springtime cloudburst, deluge of
144 coming applications fell on the county
Council in the May filing period. This is a
mushroom from prior periods of 80 or 80 or
100 applications.
This situation ought to be changed. The
system Is no longer fair to the councilmen,
the property owners, the taxpayers, the
citizens.
What this means is that the council mem.
bers will have to convene two or three times
a week from now to Thanksgiving, just for
the purpose of hearing the applications. In
Vulnerable additional hours will be spent in
discussing the cases, visiting the sites, and
making the decisions. 1t is an overwhelming,
enervating process and it will start all over
again with the November applications.
How much time and energy will they
have left to devote to fiveyear sewer pro-
grams, road construction projects, master
plans assessment programs, expenditure con-
trolls, traffic light needs, code changes, new
laws, repeal of old ones, parking problems,
Potomac dams, health problems, storm drain
needs, public nuisances, personnel needs, new
libraries trash collection, and emergency
problems? Not enough for thorough and clear
cut EFFORT
This growing burden has been recognized
in the past. The governmental studies by the
Public Administration Services and the Allied
Civic Group both suggested relieving the
council of this function. Similar suggestions
have come from others.
There is an acute need for a solution. The
remedy must be wholesome and not just

have to analyZe the whole planning Zoning
and development process. Putting the lid on
at one point may bring blowout at another.
Any fair appraisal of the reasons for the
rapid increase in zoning applications will find
it is due to at least three factors. First there
is general growth in all governmental activ-
ity as the county grows. Secondly, this council
has created an impression Of being liberal in
granting zoning requests. And thirdly, eco
nomic forces to meet housing, commercial and
industrial needs are being thrust upon us and
we don't know where we are going.
Every one of these factors must be faced.
For this reason the answer cannot be found
In merely assigning the coming function to a
special appeal board or court In the present
situation, in the absence of a council approved
plan or clear-cut council development policies,
this would be an abandonment of policy max
ing by the council
What is taking place is a reflection Of the
principle stated by the Planning Commissions
consultant The Institute of Public Admins
tration-that in democracy the final deci-
sions about community policy must be made
by individuals as bodies responsible to the
electorate if not by the electorate directly. No
amount of table pounding by a Planning
Board, asserting that it will produce a plan,
and giving the council an opportunity to com.
ment on it, will be accepted by property own
ers and citizens as final decisions. They are
going to get their answers from the people
they elected.
Does this mean that there can be no
special board for coming? No-but the tail
cannot wag the dog. Once the council has
publicly established its development policies
in clear.cut terms either by plan approval or
otherwise, then the specific cases can be as
signed for hearing by others within the coun-
ellis guidelines.

Mr.. Pullen or his successor,
might well be much more ac-
tive in providing for acceptable
standards of conduct. The pro-
hibition of classroom prayers
and Bible reading requires that
alternate approaches might be
found. Hatred of children could
have no better expression than
the tearing down or denying to
them of acceptable standards
of behavior. What better pre-
cedent for setting up standards
than to encourage those modes
of behavior or of thought
against which there are no
laws. Such was the personal
endeavor of Benjamin Frank

excellence, example, and effort

Mr.. Pullen had ample time

problems prior to the meeting.
He could have resolved uncer-

audience violence. The voters,
the students, the teacher, and
administration would all have

Vandalism is of particular
concern to all of us when it
happens in our own commu.
nifty. The MARC Nursery
School for Retarded Children,
sponsored by the Montgomery
County Association for Re-
tarded Children, is faced with
major repair and replacement
of playground equipment at
its school located at the Cedar
Lane Unitarian Church in Be.
thesda. Last weekend a part
of the fence around the out
side play area and the play.
house inside were demolished.
This was deliberate damage
which small children could not
have done.
We of the retarded chill
dren's association in this coun.
ty wonder if the children in
volved and their parents rea-
lie the consequences of the
vandalism. First, the handi-
capped children suffer. Sec
ond, hardship is placed on the
teachers and volunteers in the
school. Also, association funds
must be used to repair and re.
place equipment. Without this
extra and unnecessary eX-
peuse, we would be using the
money to help other children.
Even when we repair and
replace equipment, will this
have to be done over again
next week or next month? Let
us help our children think.
Surely consideration for
others and respect for their
property is not out.of-date in
our community.
