sideration after the new Junior
college is completed.
Board member William A.
Coyle, who disputed Beck's
figures on the costs of the new
addition in relation to those at
Takoma Park, insisted no plan
for disposal of the original
campus will come under con-
sideration until the new addi-
ton is complete. Even then, he
pointed out, release of the
property cannot be undertaken
without the approval of state
school officials.
Coyle noted that original
plans for the new campus pro-
vided no technical facilities,
and pointed out that part of the
SIS million will be devoted to a
separate technical building,
along with the addition of a
fourth story to the originally
planned humanities building.
At one point in the discussion,
Beck noted that under existing
figures the cost of educating a
pupil at Rockville will amount
to S27O0 year compared to the
$1,000 expended at the original
campus. Floyd interjected with
the suggestion that "if TakOma
Park ever is closed" funds de-
rived from the sale Of the
property would help offest the
cost Of the new operation.
The legal obstacle under
which the old campus could not
be sold without approval by the
State Board of Education came
up again when Mrs. Samuel
Kicker, a minority member of
the school board, noted that "it's
not as easy as it sounds to get
rid of school facilities due to
the state regulations"
The afternoon decision to sup
port the school board majority
came to a vote after County
Manager Mason A. Butcher
pointed out that immediate
action would have no effect on
this years school budget but
would be included in a financial
program extending over several
years.

over the rapid growth Of NASA
and the civilian agency's ex-

Some Of the distress within
the Air Force has stemmed. for

tendency to duplicate costly,

grams and facilities in bio

Test Ban Hope
Dim as Foster
Joins Farley
Reds in Geneva
Refuse to Match
U. S. Concession
By the Associated Press

United States disarmament
chief william c. Foster leaves
for Geneva tonight and an APP
parently forlorl attempt to
bring about an East West
treaty to outlaw nuclear test
ing.
Although the United States
offered another concession on
its stand, the Soviet Union
refused yesterday to increase
it's offer of two or three on-site
inspections and broke off the
three-nation talks. The United
States had banked most of its
hopes for progress in these
three-way discussions.
Thus the stage was set for an
expected propaganda battle in
the full l7-nation Geneva dis
armament conference. Mr..
Foster planned to present the
United States case there.
Last night, the United States
disclosed it had told the Soviets
it might agree to only seven
on-the-spot inspections a year.
provided the Russians agree to
"meaningful" inspection pro-
cedures.
Detection Science Advances
In the test talks, which have
been running on and off since
1858, the United States origi-
rally sought around 20 inspec-
tons a year. Supporters of the
push for a treaty say scientific
detection advances have al
lowed the West TO lower its
proposed figures - first TO
eight to 10 and now to seven
r. without actually lessening
the safeguards against cheat
ing.
The new United States figure
was contained In a statement
approved by President Kennedy
and issued by the Arms Control
and Disarmament Agency fol-
lowing the days developments
at Geneva.
Even If the Reds do an
about-face and agree to the
latest United States demands
a test-ban treaty could face
rough going in the United
States Senate. A two-thirds
Senate majority is required to
ratify American adherence to a
treaty.
