interests have been In the
type Of teachers the children
have and the various ia
cilities the school has to Of
fer. All this leads me to feel
that there Is q considerable
gap between the concerns Of
the low-income Negro fam
lilies in my area and the
avowed aims of various Or
eanizational leaders who pre-
sumo to speak for them
"The novel idea was thus
presented that parents are
more interested in good
teachers and good teaching
for their children than In
color quotas. It is to their
credit that they are. The best
thing the city can do for the
Negro is to make the schools
better"
The New York Herald Trib-
une Just q week earlier-on
July 1l-said In an editorial:
True equality doesn't lie
in mathematical formulas. in
the careful maintenance Of q
nice balance or In a reverse
racism that seeks to boost the
Negro through preferential
hiring or arbitrary advance
ment. Racial quotas are as
un-AHnerican as discrimina-
ton itself. They separate.
they categorize. they label;
they inherently contradict
the ideal Of equal opportu-
nifty, because they establish
separate ladders Of opportu-
nifty"
But what becomes Of the
view that Negro leaders have
been expounding - namely.
that equality should mean
equality, that for all jobs
held BY white men there
must be q certain percentage
of Negroes working alongside
them, and that the same rule
applies in the schools? Also,
what happens to the views Of
those ''moderates" In the
South who have felt token

Anybody who has insisted
heretofore that the practi-
cality Of the problem rather
than theoretical equality must
be taken into account has
found himself classed as
"racist" or o NEGRO hater."

move is carefully hedged,
belated, and highly tenta-

The hedge in the program
is the rise In the re-discount

to the bankers that the

Several government experts
believe Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev is ready to use the inn
proving East-West atmosphere
as an excuse to cut back the
size of his armed forces over
military opposition.
It is highly probable, they
say, that once a partial nuclear
test ban treaty is signed, Mr.,
Khrushchev will announce cuts
Of about 80 per cent or more in
the SIS million man Soviet
standing army.
These reductions were called
for by Mr.. Khrushehev as ear
ly as January, 1860, but were
shelved because Of widespread
opposition from Red Army
leaders during the Berlin
crisis in 1861.
Soviet Economic Crisis
Since then the Soviet econ
omy has been burdened with
enormous military costs,
roughly equal to Pentagen ex-
penditures. even though Rus
sia's gross national product is
only about half that Of the
United States.
This has led to a major eco
nomic crisis in the Soviet Un-
ion, freely admitted by Mr..
Khrushchev in public speeches.
The high costs Of keeping "ob-
solete" ground armies in uni
form, as well as in developing
modern missile systems, last
year produced one Of the low
est growth rates in Soviet
peacetiTne history-about 4 per
cent, according to some ana

Such q sluggish economy

sumner with his growing wants,

Whittier Asks
$l7.9 Million
Capital Budget
Amount Tops
Estimates By
$5.7 Million

A 1964-65 capital budget
totaling $17.9 million more
than twice the current
amount--was formally pre-
scented to the School Board
Tuesday by School Supt. c.
Taylor Whittier.
DR.. Whittier pointed out that
his new budget request topped
year-old estimates of what
would be necessary for the
coming fiscal year by about $5.7
million.
The higher amount Is neces-
sary, however, because OF
changing conditions within the
past year." he said.
These include, he said, S1.9
million for construction at the
new Rockville campus Of Mont
gomery- Junior College, includ-
ing a $705,000 item for furni-
ture and equipment, $34. 900 for
a fourth floor on the Hufnani-
ties Building, and 1921, 900 for q
technical building there; also
$685., 900 for an addition at the
Educational Services Center,
$1.9 million for q North Poto-
mac Junior High, $496,262 for
Alta Vista Elementary, and
$4,000 for rehabilitation Of Be-
thesda-C Chevy Chase High.
DIR. Whittier. last year asked
for only ST. million in school
construction funds although he
had earlier estimated $14.5 mil
lion would be needed. Several
factors, including the election
of an economy-minded School
Board led to his decision, he
explained.
He warned at the time, how
ever, that much of the slash
would have to be made up later
due to the rapidly expanding
enrolment. Each year, the
county school system grows by
at least 5000 students.
New projects sought by the
school administrator include:
. Construction funds for four
new elementaries containing So
classrooms - Cannon Road,
North Aspen, Rosemont and
Woodley Gardens.
. Planning funds for two
elementaries containing SO
classrooms - Alta Vista and
