Board Clashes
0nNOn-Graded
School Method
Parents Hit
New Program
In Montgomery
By JAMES B. ROWLAND
Star Staff Writer

Criticism of the non-graded
system at Rosemary Hills and
10 other elementary schools
led to an open clash last night
between the conservative ma
jority of the Montgomery
County School Board and the
liberal minority.
In spite of President Charles
w. Bells request for no DEM
onstrations, speakers for both
sides were soundly applauded
by the more than 400 persons
attending the meeting.
Sharp hanges were
prompted by the fact that Will
liam 1. Saunders, a majority
member, had placed the con-
troversial non-graded system
on the meeting agenda without
first asking Supt. c. Taylor
Whittier and his staff to in
vestigate complaints of some
parents of children at the
school in Silver Spring.
Majority members said par
ents had informed them in let
tiers and phone calls that they
were upset because Rosemary
Hills pupils had no homework,
received no report cards, and
are in enlarged classes with
students ranging from Z to IL
years Of age.
Approved Earlier
Mrs. Lucy Kicker, a minority
member, said the non-graded
system was fully reviewed and
approved by the board last
summer, and there was no need
for "a full-fledged discussion
until the staff looked into COM
plants at Rosemary Hills.
Another liberal member, DR.
Clifford K. Beck, accused Mr.
Saunders of gross misconduct
and charged that "if he had
the concern of the children at
heart he'd have first asked the
staff to investigate.
This is Just a dramatiZation
to eliminate the non-graded
program" DR.. Beck declared.
DIR. Beck is not writing my
manual of procedure, and its
up to board members to use
their own judgment in these
cases." William Coyle, a ma.
lority member, said in defense
of Mr.. Saunders.
Organization Questioned
Mr.. Saunders emphasized tina
the complaining parents havt
no fault to find with the facult,
but merely questioned the or
ganization of the non-gradeC
program.
DR.. John Permenter, assist
ant superintendent for instruc.
ton, said the non-gradec
schools try to instruct children
individually.
DR.. Eta Larimore, principal
at Rosemary Hills, echoed the
sentiments of other staff men,
bers when she traced the
trouble to a breakdown in
communications with parents
1t will be remedied, she prom
iSed.
4 DR.. John P. Causey, an area
supervisor, assured the board
that Rosemary Hills had ade-
quate books and that they car
be taken home by pupils. Other
staff members explained that
report cards in non-gradeo
schools do not give a true in.
dication of a students progress
and ability, nor is homework
a practice by which parents
can gauge their children's in
telligence.
Mr.. Bell said the board would
take the matter under advise
ment.

In Motel Stubbino

Army Pfc. Steven E. Schin-
becker, 10, today entered a
plea of guilty to second-degree
murder in the fatal stabbing
Of a Falls Church motel clerk,
William E. Clifford, jr.
The plea was entered before
Judge Albert v. Bryan, jr., in
Fairfax County Circuit Court.
Commemorative Attorney
Ralph G. Louk agreed to the
plea, saying that "our evidence
indicates that this is a proper
degree (second in the case"
After the plea was entered,
the court proceeded to hear
evidence before disposing of
the case.
Schinbeckler. who has been
held in Fairfax County Jail on
$4,000 bond since his arraign-
ment August 20, could receive
a sentence of 5 to 20 years.
The body of Mr.. Clifford. a
20-year-old Georgetown Uni
versity student, VINO worked
nights at the motel, was found
with three stab wounds in his
chest In the motel office

tor Lodge, 300 West Broad
street. last August 10. His
trouser pockets were turned in
side out and $347.22 was miss
ing from the cash register,

has denied taking the money.
Son of Colonel
Mr.. Clifford was the son of
Army 1t. Col. and Mrs. Will
liam E. Clifford, of the 200
block Of Forest drive. Falls
Church, a five minute drive
from the motel.
At a preliminary hearing Sep
TENDER 3 before Falls Church
Municipal Court Judge William
T. Finley, Army and Falls
Church police investigators
read two statements given by
Schinbeckler, in which he ad-
mitted the stabbings.
In both, the tall, dark
haired crew-cut youth said he
was out for a short drive about
3 am. Sunday, August 1S,
when he decided to "get some
sleep" at the motel where he
formerly had been employed
as a part-time weekend clerk.
The Statments continued.
Mr.. Clifford, the night clerk,
gave Schinbeckler a key and
agreed to call him at 4:30 am.
At that time, Schinbeckler said
he visited and talked with the
Student-clerk for a short time
in the motel office apartment,
where the soldier said Mr..
Clifford was drinking beer.
Didn't Remember Talk
Schinbeckler said he did not
remember the conversation,
but declared that Clifford,
sweating" heavily in the air
conditioned apartment, got up
abruptly with a "crazed look
in his eyes.
The clerk, according to
Schinbeckler'S statements, sud-
denly had a knife in his hand.
The soldier said he jumped up
and hit Mr.. Clifford on the
head with an empty pop bottle,
causing him to drop the knife.
Schinbeckler retrieved it, but
cit didn't seem to make any
difference to Bill Mr. Cliff

The clerk started swinging
at Schinbeckler and the soldier
said he began stabbing Nj.

Afterwards, Schin b ecker
said he fled the motel, threw
the knife in some bushes on his
way to Arlington Hall, on Ar
lington boulevard at Glebe

with friend after changing
and hiding his blood-stained
clothes. Quizzed by Army in
veStigators, he at first denied
the crime. but later turned
himself in to the Army provost
marshal.

Commissioner
Backs Measure
For q Mayor
By SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer


The District Commissioners
today gave qualified indorse-
ment to bill that would give
back to Maryland all Of the
city's residential and CONNER
cial areas.
The measure has substantial
merit and deserves serious
study" Commissioner Walter
N. Tobriner told a House Dis
trict subcommittee.
The subcommittee, headed
by Representative Whitener,
Democrat Of North Carolina,
is holding hearings on home
rule bills for Washington.
Legislation calling for the
transfer to Maryland of all of
the land here that the State
originally coded to the United
States. except for the federally
developed central section. was
introduced by Representative
XVI, Republican of Iowa.
Backs Elected Mayor
In his testimony today, Mr..
Tobriner, president of the
Board of Commissioners, sub
mitted a statement in support
of a bill that would provide for
an elected Mayor and a seven
member council. This is the
measure that is backed by the
Kennedy administration.
In answer to a question by
Representative Williams, DEM
ocrat of Mississippi, Mr.. To-
briner said that the city gov
eminent would like as wide a
degree of local representation
as possible. But. he said, short
OF a constitutional amend
ment to divorce the District
from the Federal Government,
we would take half a loaf"
Mr.. Williams then said that
the XVI bill would give the
District a full Loaf of true
home rule, with voting rights
ranging from local elections UP
to balloting for Maryland's
House members and senator's.
j, After stating that the Com
missioners feel that the XVI
bill has merit, Mr.. Tobriner
said that the legislation should
: be tied to a referendum.
, If it is unconstitutional to
: make enactment of the legis-
lation contingent on a refer
endum. he said, Their the Com
|, missioners would favor obtain
ing the views Of the residents
, through an advisory referen-
, dunn.
The XVI bill would hinge the
transfer of the property on &C
ceptance by the State of Mary
land.
Consider Bill illegal
Under this bill. residents of
the District would become resi-
dents of a new city IN Mary
land. The area that would be
left as the Nations Capital
runs mainly westward from
the Library Of Congress to the
Lincoln Memorial and gen.
orally is bounded by Pennsyl-
vania avenue on the North and
D street and the Potomac River
on the South.
Some witnesses, including
spokesman for the Washington
area chapter of Americans for
Democratic Action feel that the
XVI bill is unconstitutional.
Twenty-Five home rule bills
are before the subcommittee.
These measures, which cover a
wide range of proposals, fall
into seven general categories.
!. A spokesman for the District
Democratic Central Commit
tee, F. Joseph Donohue, said
that the group Endorses the
administrators home rule bill.
In a statement filed today,
Representative Mcmillan, chair
man of the full House District
Committee, indicated that he
still has serious doubts on the
constitutionality of home rule
legislation.
/ The hearings which opened
yesterday, will continue tomor-
row and then pick up again
after Thanksgiving.

Vroman said that an arnexa- ton program could bring these areas in as the borough de- veloped.

1 dustry, he said, much of which IS agricultural products.
 Its like sitting on a powder keg, he said, referring to the tense situation between Israel and the Arabic nation of Jor- dan, in which the distrust of the two nations for each other IS heightened by the growth of Nasser's United Arab Repub- lie.
 The population of Israel is now six and a half million. with eight to ten thousand new refugees arriving every month, he said. Yet all of these people are put to work in Israel's booming new industries, with no unemployment problem.
 He noted common attitude of Middle East and African na- tions-"Although they want and need our dollars, they re- sent us" he stated.
 Other highlights mentioned by Koslosky were the art gal leries of Rome and Florence, a trip to Zurich where the lake was frozen over and residents called it the coldest winter in a hundred years, and the sights of London.

Chamber Hears Account of Local Mans Experiences on l00-Day World Tour

Members and guests of the Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce enjoyed a vicarious tour of Asian and European countries at yesterdays lunch con meeting when Jan Koslos- ky described his recent trip around the world.
 Discussing experiences as varied as a plane trip with a group of -tinged Afro-Asian diplomats, a game hunt in southern Sudan, and tours of European art galleries, the To- cal businessman conveyed very graphic pictures to his audience offthe route followed on the l00-day trip.
 He noted the tremendous enterprise of the Japanese peo- pie, saying that everywhere he went he saw teams of Japan csc, soliciting markets for their industrial output.
 He described the agricultural effort of the relatively new na- ton of Israel, which puts to use every available plot of farm land and which irrigates the desert soil from the Jordan River. The Israelite people are building up a large export in-

MvccA WEARS $2,o0o EASTER SEAL GOAL

With S1,686 collected to date, the $2,0O0 goal is in sight in the Matanuska Valley Crippled Children's Association Easter Seal drive, Mrs. Lowell Simp- son, president, announced yes terday.
 Proceeds from the street auc- ton to be held in Palmer on May l8 are expected to push the total to the $2,O00 mark, Mrs. Simpson said.
 MVCCA headquarters will move to the Snow White build ing this weekend (see story, in side page), and a work party lS planned for Saturday, May 4 Any help in carpentry, moving and painting will be much ap- preciated. Mrs. Simpson said.

In defending the boundaries of the Matanuska-Susitna peti- tion, he said the committee had tried to come up with comp ronise to satisfy the residents of the area. He likened large borough to a pond with a stone tossed into the middle-the rip ples are nearly dissipated by the time they reach the outer edges.
 Mason LaZelle asked how 1t could aid the area to exclude resources such as the gas field across Cook Inlet, the forest reserves to the north, the agri- cultural area west of the Suslt- na, and the silver lode to the north.

Local Affairs Director Meets
Continued from page II

Cease was asked if the bond ed indebtedness of the Palmer Independent school district would be paid off borough wide, and stated that this would be decided by the bor- ough assembly. Assets of the district would become borough assets, however.
 In discussion of advan- tages and disadvantages of ty- ing in with the Captain Cook borough District 8, it was pointed out that the city of Anchorage would have five as semblymen, the surrounding rural area six, making a total of II, and the District ' area would have one from Palmer, two from the rural area.
 Cease said Anchorage reluc- tance for such a merger would be economic (tax base would be spread over a wide area), and District 2 reluctance would be political (very little voting poWer).
 He said that if a majority ot residents desired a merger with the Anchorage borough, h ( thing to do would be to prove that District 7 is part of the wider Anchorage area te come up with the facts and fig ures to present at boundaries commission hearings.
