cred to the chairman of the Public

MY dear Mr.. Chairman:
"As you are aware, I have been

ficiently definite shape to enable me
to submit its principal features to the

you about this matter until certain
minor questions have been definitely
solved, but, in view of the widespread
public interest in the matter and the
misunderstanding that may arise out
of reports about the plan, which are
not always accurate, I have decided
to submit to YOU now the general

414 TEACHERS SUE
TO GET BACK PAY
Separate Actions Filed for
Salary They Claim Is Due
Under New Bill.

Four hundred and fourteen public
school teachers today filed suits
against the District of Columbia for
balances of salary claimed for serv-
ices during the three years which
have passed since the new teachers
salary bill went into effect. Each
of the teachers filed his or her sepa-
rate suit in the Municipal Court.
claiming amounts carrying from $500
to 5000 plus interest.
Last month Attorney Paul E. Lesh
filed five test cases, in which it is
expected the law applicable to all
the suits filed today will be settled.
When the salary bill went into effect
three years ago, about 100 graded
school teachers. who believed the sal.
aries allotted them by the school
authorities were not what Congress
had directed, organized themselves as
committee and sought review of
their salary placement by the Control
Ter. When they got no action they
employed counsel in an effort first to
get ruling by the Controller.
Effort Comes to Naught.
The Controllers office, however,
took the view that it was concerned
only with overpayments and not with
underpayments, and that it would not
pass on the matter unless requested
by the District authorities. The
Board of Education declined last
Spring to request a ruling, and the
committee of the board to which the
matter was referred, expressed the
view that the teachers. remedy. if
they were dissatisfied, was by suits
against the District.
AS the teachers efforts to get the
matter adjusted without suit met OBJ
structions, the number of teachers
who united in the effort grew, until
nearly 500 are now insisting upon a
ruling on the readjustments they con-
slider due them.
The statute of limitations Of three
years began this Fal. to operate to
bar the claims for the first months of
service under the new salary act. and
the teachers sought to have the Com.
missioners agree to adjust all claims
as might be decided in the test cases
FLED last month, and thus avoid the
expense of so many separate suits.
Decf1ne 10 waive Statute.
The Commissioners, by letter sent
in September to the teachers attorney,
declined to agree to waive the statute
of limitations or any other defense
which might he interposed to the
claims. The teachers were then ad.
vised that the only way to save their
rights was to file separate suits. with
out waiting for the decisions in the
test eases.
The cost Of filing the suits entered
today by the teachers was S3,739.50
to the clerk Of the Municipal Court
and S207 to the United States marshal
of that cour<. The marshals fee is
at the usual rate of so cents in each
suit for the formal delivery of the
papers to the Commissioners. In the
matter of the number of separate suits
filed simultaneously a new local rec
ord was made

SOVIET ASKS SEAT
AT ARMS PARLEY
MoscoW's Decision Declared
to Improve Chances of
Conference Success.
By the Associated Press.

ps tHe IAssucldteU fFeSs.
GENEVA, October 31.-Russia has
notified the League of Nations that
the Soviet government will participate
in the work of the preparatory com
mission on disarmament conference,
it was announced at League head.
quarters today.
The absence of Russia has been con-
sidered one of the biggest obstacles
to the convocation of conference
which would stand a chance of sue
cess in the reduction of land arma.
ments. The commission meets here
November 80.
Swiss Incident Closed.
The Soviet government hitherto has
refused collaboration in the disarma-
ment conferences of the League, it's
last refusal being accompanied by the
declaration that the Soviet government
was disinclined to send delegates to
Switzerland because of the then un-
settled controversy that grew out Of
the assassination of VasIav vorovsky,
Soviet representative at the Lausanne
conference of 1928.
Sir Eric Drummond, League secre-
tary. today received telegram from
Foreign Commissar Tchitcherin say
ing that now that the Forovsky Incl
dent had been settled by the protocol
OF April IA, signed in Berlin betwee i
switzerland and Soviet Russia. Mos
cow was willing to participate in the
labors of the disarmament commits
sion. A request for information as to
the place, date and agenda of the next
meeting was included.
League circles regard Russia's de.
cislon to cooperate in the disarma.
ment commissions work as of the
greatest Importance to the future of
disarmament. In principle 1t s re-
garded as removing the chief objec-
ton OF the nations bordering Russia
| to serious discussions of the disarma
ment problem. Several Of these ma.
tons have made their acceptance of
any treaty conditional upon the ad-
herence OF Russia to the same.
Army Strength a Mystery.
The exact strength of the Soviet
army is said to remain a mystery to
the Western world and Soviet partici-
patton in the conferences, it is be.
lieved, will permit all the powers to
lay their cards on the table.
Furthermore, coming after Soviet

RADIO ALLEGATIONS
SEEN AT DEADLOCK
Assignment of Wave Lengths
a Failure, Observers Say.
New Plan Urged.

Coincident with the first break in
the Federal Radio Commission, which
comes today with the effective date of
the resignation of Commissioner
Henry TT. Bellows of Minneapolis. it
is increasingly evident both to the
commissioners and to observers of ma
tional radio affairs that an impasse
has been reached in the ALLEGATION of
wave lengths.
Two courses of action are open to
settle problem that has become even
more vexing, in the face of the herald.
ed improvements over the Summer
months. than it was before the reallo-
cations in June.
The plain facts in the case, accord
ing TO those who have watched the
trend of affairs in the brOadcasting
world, are that the national realloca-
tions. which have been progressing
ever since last May, have failed to
materially remedy the congested ether
situation. and that some new align
ment of broadcasters in an entirely
different direction from that set up
last June must be made. The first and
probably the foremost of the two pos.
sibilities Is elimination of nearly half
the present hroadcasters by some pain
less or painful method that will solve
the physical problem of placing some
thing more than $40 stations on the
air without interference.
New Plan Outlined.
The other is retention of all the
present broadcasters under a new
scheme of national, regional and local
icb will
divide time and. keep the big broad
casters so far away from each other,
in so far as receivers sets are con-
cerned. that the melancholy plant of
interference no longer will be heard.
Commissioner Bellows resignation,
according to a statement issued under
the letterhead of the commission
few days ago, came because of
economic reasons. Although the radio
law of February last authorized crea-
tion of the commission and the five
members were appointed by President
Coolidge. effective March. Is, there
was no provision made for their
salaries Of $4,000 a year. In the
meantime, and in the hope that Con-
gress will pass deficiency appropria.
ton to care for their salaries, mem.
bers of the air control body have
functioned without salary since
March Is.
The American Engineering Council

report to the commission, declaring
that the only satisfactory way to re-

the air was to cut down the number
