,911,153 For Education School Budget Outlined BREATHEDSVILLE, Md. (AP) Two prisoners were shot today as State Police and guards used tear gas to quell a riot of 400 inmates of the Maryland Correctional Institution. One other prisoner and four guards were injured, none seriously, and were released from the hospital. State Police said dogs were taken to the prison but were held in restraint. The wounded prisoners ere in fair condition at Washington County Hospital in nearby Hagerstown.

The hospital refused to give any details of their injuries. The two hours of rioting broke out about 5:30 a.m. in the dining hall as the first breakfast shift lined up to eat. A disturbance at lunch wasO short-lived and ended when five prisoners, one with a cut above his right eye, were hustled i from the dining room. About 20 troopers from the Frederick State Police barrack rushed to the scene in five patrol cars, along with troopers from the Westminster and Randallstown Barracks.

Three K9 dogs including one from Frederick, and most of the local troopers were still standing by at the prison at noon today. Preston L. Fitzberger, superintendent of the medium security prison for young offenders, said he had no idea what caused the trouble. He ordered breakfast resumed after about half of 3the 400 returned to their cells. The men were forming a chow line in the dining hall to get breakfast when they began overturning tables and throwing chairs, plates and dishes, Fitzberger said.

State Police barricaded them in the dining hall and the rioting continued for two hours.

An organizational meeting will be held Thursday morning The county commissioners and about 50 spectators sat quietly this morning as school officials presented their $9,911,153 proposed budget for the coming year. The school budget, raised $1,558,364 over this year's school appropriation, includes a total county contribution of $5,742,629. It was presented in detail for two and one half hours in Winchester Hall by Dr. John L. Carnochan, Jack Tritt, purchasing supervisor, Herman Hauver pupil personnel director and superintendent, Bennie C.

Hartmann, transportation supervisor. Dr. Carnochan opened the school budget hearing by saying "Frederick County cannot be compared with the oth Western Maryland counties in any attempt to "hold the line" on teachers salaries because of our pupil growth rate." "We increased our enrollment by over 500 students last year while Garrett County lost 14, Allegany County lost 348 and Washington County increased by only 58 students." Dr Carnochan said "We are growing at about a 3 1 per cent rate, which is about the state average, so it is silly to talk about holding the line "With the Governor Thomas Johnson High School opening the fall, we now have the space to do something for the first time, but we must fill this space with 58 new teachers ami increase teachers salaries rom the middle of the state salary scales." Dr. Carnochan said. "This is a large increase but it is needed and the burden now falls on the local taxpayers and county officials to raise these funds since the failure of the Cooper-Hughes bill de- prived Frederick County of $633,000 in state aid to education it should have received this year," he concluded.

Commissioner A. Irvin Renn then asked for questions from the audience, but there were none, and the school budget (Continned On Page 5) 121,205 Budget For Local Day Care Center A proposed budget of $21,205, including $5,856 in county funds, was presented to the County Commissioners Monday by the i Frederick County Day Care Center The Center for the Ment-i ally Retarded will receive an estimated $10,348 in state aid funds and a $5,000 grant from the Frederick County Associa- tion for the Mentally Retarded, Mrs. Ruth T. Myers explained. Mrs.

Myers is director of the Day Care Center She appeared at the commissioners budget hearing with Bruce Crum, president of the board of directors. Mrs. Myers explained that the state pays $9 per day for an average of 13 persons attending the Day Care Center regularly. 48 8 per cent of the county and private Association for the Mentally Retarded divide the remainder of the cost of the center. Commissioner Lawrence A.

i Dorsey asked why there was nothing in the budget for trans- portation of the retarded to the school and Mrs Myers said, "the parents bring them, but this is a problem when the fathers need their cars for work." Crum described the present location of the Day Care Center in the Staley Park Field House as "very much temporary." Mrs Myers explained that stairways and rest rooms on a different level made it difficult for the handicapped She also said everything had to be moved for church services in the cost of the operation and the (Continued On Page 5) Hagerstown in Western Maryland, has 1,495 inmates aged 15 to 25. The superintendent's office said it was built to hold a maximum of 800. About 40 state troopers and several sheriff's deputies joined prison guards in halting the riot. Fitzberger toured the prison after the situation quieted down, talking to guards and prisoners to try to determine the reason for the outbreak. Breakfast is served in two shifts because of crowding at the prison, said Mrs Mary Stain secretary to the superintendent.

She said it was the first major outbreak of trouble at the prison. The prison formerly was called the Maryland Reformatory for Males. The prison, set in the middle of farmland, has no outside walls The men are housed in dormitories, with the dining hall in the middle. Mrs. Stain said guards at the institution do not normally carry weapons Although it is not a maximum security institution, prisoners are there for practically all offenses, Mrs.

Stain said There never has been a riot at the institution before, officials said. Th last previous prison outbreak in Maryland occurred in October, 1965, when hundreds of inmates staged a sitdown- strike at the Maryland Penitentiary in Baltimore.
