MST Takes Issue
With Tawes Aide
The Maryland State Teachers’ Association has taken
sharp issue with a statement by Odell M. Smith, assistant
to the Governor, that counties would receive more state
aid “under the program recommended by the Committee
on Taxation and Fiscal Matters than they would under the
proposal of the Maryland State
Teachers’ Association.”
Robert Y. Dubel, Associate
Executive Secretary of MST A,
described the news release by
the Governor’s assistant as a
“masterpiece of brevity, gen
eralization, and omission.” Dubel
contended that the release from
the Governor’s office lumped
proposed welfare appropriations
and local funds from a proposed
cigarette tax with the James
Committee recommendations for
schools, and then compared this
combined package with the
MST A program which is de
signed exclusively for school
aid.
Wrongly Identified
He declared that “it is un
fortunate that the program en
dorsed by our organization was
identified only as an MSTA
proposal in Mr. Smith’s news
release. This program enjoys
the sponsorship of every state
wide organization which is di
rectly involved in the public
school program. It calls for an
increase in the state minimum
salary for teachers to a level of
S4OOO-S6OOO. Actually, this pro
gram is under the joint sponsor
ship of the Maryland Congress
of Parents and Teachers and
the Maryland State Teachers’
Association. It has the support
of the State Board of Education,
the Maryland Association of
School Boards, and the Mary
land Association of Superinten
dents of Schools.”
Dubel emphasized that the
James Committee proposals for
education, welfare and increased
local revenue through the ciga
rette tax are currently before
the Legislature In separate
bills.
“The Welfare and cigarette
tax recommendations should be
considered on their own merits.”
He declared “If the welfare and
cigarette tax bills are passed,
we should add the amount of
money involved for each coun
ty and Baltimore City to the
funds proposed In the MCPT
MSTA program If we are to
make a fair and accurate 1 com
parison.”
Hits Distribution
Dubel agreed with Smith that
all of the James Committee
funds could be used by the coun
ties and Baltimore City with
"full freedom ... in accordance
with their greatest need.” How
ever, he criticized this method
of distribution, declaring that lt
is “wrong to sell a state aid pro
gram on the basis of what it
will do for schools on one hand
and to tell the county commis
sioners on the other hand that
they do not need to spend one
cent of the money for an im
proved program of education.”
It is specified in the MCPT
MSTA legislation, which has 36
sponsors In the General Assem
bly, that the funds appropriated
must be used locally for schools.
Dubel indicated that MSTA has
no quarrel with that part of the
James Committee program
which would permit county com
missioners to use the cigarette
tax funds for non-school pur
poses or for local tax reduc
tions.
“Once we properly exclude
the cigarette tax and welfare
bills from this discussion of in
creased state aid for education,
it became a simple matter of
comparing 36,428,076 under the
James proposal to $12,481,774
under the MCPT-MSTA pro
gram,” declared Dubel. “More
than 100,000 people in the state
have already signed petitions
calling the James program in
adequate and urging the Gover
nor and General Assembly to
enact the MCPT-MSTA pro
gram.
“The people of Maryland are
obviously ready to support a
substantially improved pro
gram of education. The James
Committee recommendation of
fers a step in the right direc
tlon, but the stop is entirely too

modest In these times when we
must have the vision to provide
the very best program of educa
tion for our children. The dollar
difference between the James
and MCPT-MSTA programs Is
approximately $6,000,000 an
nually or a per capita expendi
ture of less* than $2.00. We often
spend more than this for a new
toy for a child. Surely, we can
spend as much for better
schools.”

Mall, Landscaping
Proposed for New
Rockville Building
A mall leading to the pro
posed new Rockville city hall
and a 30-foot landscaped area
in front of the county parking
lot were suggested by the Beau
tification committee before the
Rockville City Council Monday.
John J. Brennan, a local archi
tect and a member of the com
mittee told the council that If
Vinson st. were abandoned as a
street it could be turned Into a
mall, leading to the city hall.
He suggested a circle of flags
be incorporated into the land
scaped terrace on Perry st.
Mayor Alexander J. Greene
lauded the committee’s prelim
inary plans saying it would
“lead the way to the redevelop
ment of the downtown area.”

Snow Plays Hob
With Collections
Of County Refuse
This winter’s heavy and drift
ing snows have thrown the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission’s refuse collections
off schedule in suburban Mont
gomery County.
1 Efforts are being made to
catch up on these routes after
last week’s snowfalls. Deep
snow has made It difficult for
collectors to move from house
to house.
A number of Refuse Division
personnel have had problems
getting to work from outlying
areas, causing a shortage of
manpower on worst days.
To help speed up service
particularly if more snow
comes before the end of winter
—WSSC has asked homeown
ers to keep refuse containers
uncovered, in clearly visible
and accessible locations, and to
tnake sure container top#arf
not frozen shut
WSSC serves about 57,000
dwellings in lower Montgomery.
