Bethesda Girls Raise
1920 Hospital Gift

A 1920 check was presented
to Children's Hospital last week
by a group of sixth grade girls
at Thomas w. Pyle Junior High
School in Bethesda, who raised
the funds in a carnival they
held May IS at Radnor Elemen-
tary School.
Included in the group were
Deborah Schifter, Gail Rabb,
Carole Herson, Barbara Hoff-
berg, Lisa Johnston, Lisa Mar
tin and Laurie Liebling. They
also gave the hospital a book
telling the story of the human
body in words and pictures,
prepared by a science class at
Thomas w. Pyle.

stated that It Is a breach of
understanding between tn e
School Board and teachers and
a violation of the implied condi-
ton of their contracts of en-
ployment. Also that the move
constitutes an unlawful invasion
of the teachers privacy and
constitutional rights.
Both Cahoon and Arthur
Simonds, executive secretary of
MEGA, emphasized the legal
action does not question the pre-
sent policy of school officials,
fingerprinting all school person
mel and sending the prints to
the Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation for checks.
1t Is only the new policy of
turning the function over to the
police department, which Sim
Onds contends amounts to
police surveillance" that is
being objected to, they said.
State Supt. of Schools DR..
Thomas G. Pullen recently
urged the School Board to delay
action on the plan until it can
be considered by the State
Board of Education at an
August meeting.
Last week, however, the state
attorney generals office ruled
there was no legal obstacle to
the move taken Monday night
by the School Board majority.
MEGA last week called upon
the State Board of Education to
use its powers to declare that
requiring police checks of teach
ers here was beyond the scope
of the local School Board.
Legal action by county teach
ers to block School Board deci-
sion is without precedent here
in the MEGA since it was char
tered in 1921, Simonds declared.

the budget cuts. The committee
has stated that the Council can
make some funds available
while Tobin has advised that
the Council cannot.
In defense of his position that
no more teachers are needed,
Floyd told reporters Tuesday
about a recent survey which
showed that county teachers
spend only so per cent of their
time in teaching with "the re-
mainder spent in other activi-
ties"
He declined to identify the
survey or who made 1t and did
not elaborate on the "Other &C
ticivities" which he said take up
the teachers time.
He also added: eff had any
say, 1 would eliminate the
driver, education courses. I op-
pose any part of any education
al program that favors a rela-
lively small part of the enroll
ment."
He said, however, he didn't
even think it is necessary to
curtail driver education.
Approximately 1881 students
take driver education, or about
IS per cent of students from
the tenth grade up, school Off
Gals have estimated.
Floyd also said he had infor-
nation that In one KensingtOn
school there is resource
teacher whose sole duties are
filling in for 10-minute coffee
breaks taken by other teachers.
A key school official indig-
nantly denied the assertion and
said the school system would
not allow such a situation to
exist.
Floyd also declared he knows
of other examples of waste in
the teaching program and he
said he plans "as a matter of
courtesy" to itemize them in a
letter to the president of the
Board of Education.

Legal Fight
Started by
Teachers
BY Robin DOrr
Sentinel Reporter

Three county teachers won
a temporary court order this
week restraining the School
Board majority from turning
over teacher fingerprints to
the police department.
The order, signed by Circuit
Court Judge Thomas M. Ander-
son, delays the action for 10
days, pending a hearing some
time next week.
Legal action to obtain the
court order was initiated early
Tuesday morning by the three
teachers, within hours after the
School Board majority Monday
night brushed aside strong pro.
tests of the three minority
members and School Supt. c.
Taylor Whittier.
When the action - strongly
opposed by Montgomery Coun.
ty Education Association repre-
senting 1850 county teachers
was ordered by a 4-3 vote, DIR.
Whittier trying hard to retain
his composure said he would
comply with the order but only
under protest"
school Board President
Charles w. Bell who has pushed
hardest for police checks on all
teachers urged Monday night
that all teacher fingerprints be
turned over to the police de-
partment the following morn
ing.
Every day that goes by puts
one more child's safety in
jeopardy" he declared.
The three teachers who
initiated the legal action are DR..

by, both teachers.
Through their attorney, David
Cahoon, former Democratic
County Council president, the
trio argued the action is beyond
the boards authority, it at
tempts to give direction to and
control of the activities of the
police department, and it is UNI
reasonable in that it proposes
to duplicate a governmental
function being carried out by
the school system which was
found adequate by the grand
jury, thereby mourning waste
full expenditure of funds.
The bill of complaint also
stated that transfer Of the
teacher fingerprints to the
police department would be an
unlawful interference with the
right of teachers to exercise con-
troll over their fingerprints. 1t
also asserted that the action
places teachers before the pub
lie in a false light of criminals
and other persons suspected of
crime.

Floyd Says
Council Won't
Reconsider

The County Council stood
firmly this week on its re-
fusal to reconsider its budget
action which Topped off 200
requested new teachers to
h lip handle an estimated
5000 pupil increase in county
schools this fall.
Apparently speaking for the
entire Council, President John
A. Floyd on Tuesday labeled
arguments put forth by the
School Board and county civic
groups for a reconsideration of
the cut as negative and emo
tional rather than factual and
reasoned"
"They have added nothing to
the information presented to
the Council before it acted on
the school budget" he declared,
adding: There has been no in
formation that is sufficient to
constitute a basis for even sug-
costing that the Council recon
slider its action"
Therefore" he emphasized,
"the Council has no plans to
undertake any such reconsidera-
tiOn."
On Monday night the usually
strongly divided School Board
united 81 to ask Council appro-
val of applying a $250,OOO school
surplus to hiring of additional
teachers.
But Floyd told reporters
Tuesday he would personally
vote against such a move.
Philander P. Claxton, chair
man of the executive board of
the Committee for Public
Schools, which has been leading
a fight by major county civic
groups for restoration of the
budget cuts, promptly issued a
statement that was highly crit.
cal of Floyd's stand.
'Mr. F1oyd's action Is a sad
blow to the children who will
be in overcrowded classrooms
next year." he said. 1--WE cannot
believe he represents the views
of all Council members. He ar
bitrarily denies the need for
teachers while he refuses the
requests of the Board of Educa-
ton and six major civic organ
izations to present the facts.
THE facts will show that the
200 teachers are needed; that
the Council has the necessary
funds and they are sitting idle.
The Council has the full author
ity and full responsibility to
make those idle funds available.
1t cannot duck its duty by tell
ing the Board of Education to
find the 200 teachers like a
magician pulling rabbits out of
q hat"

mo 22-year-old boy with an ounce of
brains is going to blow the opportunity
Pepitone is facing. He's got chance to be
regular on a championship club and he
could be first-stringer for 10 to IL years
All he's got to do is look around him and
see fellows like Mantle and Maris making
all that money"
WHEN PEPIToNE STRIPS DOWN in
the Yankee clubhouse, which is nearly the
size OF the Washington Coliseum, he reveals
two scars, front and back Of his midsec-
ton, from boyhood gun wound that al
most cost his life. II should've been dead,
I guess" Joe signs. The doctors told me
that one inch in almost any direction and
I wOuld've been a goner."
This happened when Pepitone was
student at Erasmus. schoolmate had
found a rusty pistol near the Brooklyn
dock area and carried 1t to school, not
thinking the gun would fire. One day at
the end of class in vocational training
he pointed the pistol at Joe in a mock
holdup gesture.
The gun roared and the bullet tore al
most squarely through Pepitones body,
narrowly missing his spinal column. They
carried the wounded boy to the hospital,
where he spent nine hours on the operating
table. And as II this brush with death
were not enough, most of the dozen major
league clubs that had been wooing the
young man lost interest
"only the Yankees and Dodgers
offered me any money after the accident"
Joe relates MY dad, who died shortly
afterward, was Yankee rooter."
IRONICALLY, PEPITONE'S misfortune
eventually produced a compensating de-
velopment When Joe recovered he was so
wan and thin that his high school coach,
fearing too much running in the outfield
would wear him down, moved the boy TO
first base.
HE thought II would be easier on me-"
Joe says. II guess he was right Anyway,
when signed with the Yankees and began
playing In the minors in 1858 I was able
10 go TO the outfield or first base"
He Is first-class centerfielder with a
GOOD arm, speed and, potentially at least,
bat like major league outfielder ought

Joe Learned First Bose
In q Precorious Way

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA, MAR. S.
Aside from deciding which 10 pitchers he
win retain at the cutdown to rs players
on May ., Ralph Houk's only dilemma
concerns first base. And a pleasant de-
lemma it is, as even the manager of the
Yankees was admitting.
This day Houk was watching all three
Of his candidates for Bill Skowron's old
job alternating in an infield drill. They
read, from left to right, Joe Pepitone,
Hector Lopez and Dale Long. The long
range guy is Pepitone, age %.
mo, haven't conceded him the job"
Ralph was saying, although the kid looks
great, both at bat and in the field l want
to see more Of Lopez, who's never played
the bag. For that matter, Long can play
two or three times week without hurting
you"
Pepitone came up from the Yankee
chain year ago as an outfielder-first
baseman. He plays nifty centerfield, but
Houk tips his hand when he says, I'm
carry Jack Reed as the spare outfieldei.
Wen have Lopez If we need him. Pepitone
Is a first baseman."
A YEAR AGO PEPIToNE, a kid from
the Bronx, was the hottest rookie In the
Yankee camp, outranking even Tom fresh,
who made 1t so big. But there was a
vacancy for fresh because Tony Kubek
was in the Army. There was no vacancy
for Pepitone, although he Was too promising
to be optioned out Immediately.
One day last May the kid tied major
league record by hitting two home runs In
one inning against Kansas City. HE can't
miss" Houk said, but then Ralph turned
TO the old standby, Skowron, and young Joe
receded into the background.
Eventually he was optioned TO Rich
mond, but so quietly as TO stir wonder II
Pepltone weren't being punished for some
small baseball SIN Perhaps he was, al
though Houk doesn't put II exactly that
way. However, Ralph obliquely gives
credence.
Joe ISN'T A BAD KID" Houk said.
Hes not drinker, or anything, although
maybe he's only boy. He was healthy,
2i-year-old kid who found himself with a
major league club and wasn't playing very
much. Kids get restless"
Pepitone's background Is that Of having
been raised in tough neighborhood. Some
Of his old buddies became dead Lenders.
Houk Is certain that Pepitone is many cuts
above some Of the riff-raff that attended
Erasmus High School.
Joe Is a smart kid" he conceded. 1T
isn't like he had no baseball talent and was
working as busboy or something. II he
hasn't got the world by the tail yet, he's
getting near 70 pretty good grip on II.
