Coyle Hits
Reporting of
School News
William E. Coyle, majority
member of the Montgomery
County board of education,
sharply criticized the press for
what he called "superficial, in
nacurate and often watered
down” reporting of board of ed
ucation events.
Speaking recently at a Beth
esda Women's Club meeting,
Coyle, declared, "the public
should be appraised of the facts
and as a former reporter, I
recognize superficial reporting
and its effects on the reader.”
Coyle pointed out that next
years Public School enrollment
in Montgomery County, would
reach 100,000, with 7,000 em
ployees on hand to take care of
the students in 132 school build
ings.
When asked why the County
Council had cut 200 teachers
from the requested school bud
get, Coyle said, “I think it would
be preaumptious to question the
decisions of the council. They
are trained professional men
who know all the facts about
the educational problems. I
Would not presume to ask them
Why they took the action.”
t He pointed out that the coun
ted had cut $700,000 from the
School budget, including admin
istration cuts, physical educa
tion courses and foreign lang
uages in the elementary schools.
| "There has been a tremendous
revolution in the county for the
|past months,” he said, "and a
revolution at the polls. It is un
derstandable that some did not
want change. I am afraid, how
ever, that the attacking group
lacks the dignity and respect
we should expect from county
organizations.”
Referring to the school board’s
controversy over teacher finger
printing, Coyle said "We voted
that fingerprints be turned over
to the police. Anyone who is in
nocent should not object.”
"I believe,” Mr. Coyle said in
conclusion, "that everyone Is
acting according to their own
strong convictions. There is a
tremendous difference of opin
ion in this country ... we must
maintain a high respect and re
gard for this difference.”
Democrats
Warned on
Right Wing
xifT .4sty>'
Charles A, Roche, deputy
chairman of the Democratic Na
tional Committee, warned Mont
gomery County Democrats to
remain alert to the threat of
"right-wing radicals” who, he
said, are attempting to subvert
administration programs on the
national level and to Infiltrate
government bodies, parent -
teacher associations and other
community organizations at the
local level.
Speaking at a reception for
Democratic precinct chairmen,
Roche charged that "right-wing
radicals represent a threat to
the principles of democracy as
long as they remain under
cover.”
“Once they are exposed, and
the public is aware of their
presence," he said, “they are no
longer a serious threat to the
community."
Roche estimated that the
John Birch Society and similar
groups will spend about $25 mil
lion during the 1964 congres
sional elections, more than the
National Democratic and Repub
lican Committees combined. The
Birch Society has a larger paid
staff—lo 9 persons than the
Democratic National Commit
he added. *
The reception was sponsored
by the Democratic State Central
Committee and honored Willard
A. Morris, new supervisor of
elections, and board of elections
clerks Brian Z. Kile and Marion
L. Clark. It was held at Demo
cratic Headquarters. 26 E.
Montgomery St., Rockville.

Environmental
Facility Lost
By Rockville
ROCKVILLE —Hopes for lo
cating the huge National Envir
onmental Health Center here—
already dim—faded completely
with approval last week by the
National Capital Planning Com
mission of a Beltsville site for
the facility.
Health, Education and Wel
fare officials had asked Con
gress for approval of funds for
a Rockville site. But availabil
ity of land already owned by
the government at Beltsvlle
gave Beltsville a big advantage.
Approval by NCPC of the
Beltsville site means that if the
facility is located In the Wash
ington area, it will almost cer
tainly be there. But Congress
may not even approve building
funds for the Beltsville site
despite HEWs plea that the fa
cility be located in the Wash
ington area.
Many Congressmen are trying
to win approval of the facility
in their districts located else
where. And there is powerful
support on Capitol Hill for Con
gressional leaders who say too
many federal agencies are lo-
I cated in the Washington area.
Assessment
Meetings
To Be Held
A series of public discussions
of property assessment prac
tices was scheduled to open
Wednesday night at the Damas
cus Fire House, with two more
set for Thursday and next Mon
day night.
Thursday’s meeting will be
held at Poole*ville High School,
with the final discussion set for
Monday in the County Office
Building, both at 8 p.m. They
will be conducted by the County
Council’s special assessments
Attorney Robert E. Redding.
The committee is primarily
Interested in public comment on
possible revision of existing
farm land assessments, but will
welcome expressions on a vari
ety of other tax practices under
study by the group since Janu
ary, Redding said.
Among those undergoing re
view are existing exemptions
from local assessments and tax
ation, statewide equalization of
assessments, taxation of person
al property, the adequacy of
existing review and appeal pro
cedures in the county and state,
the new budgets of the Appeal
Tax Court and the assessment
program of the county’s Fi
nance Department.
The review committee was
created to fulfill a campaign
pledge of the five Republican
members of the County Council
prior to their election last No
vember.
