WILL RELEASE
TEACHERS PAY
Drastic Slash for Fourth
Quarter Will Not Be

Slr waiter ElOltl
RALEIGH, March %. - The
drastic slashing of all state sal
aries and allotments for the
fourth quarter Of the present
fiscal year by at least so per
cent. as indicated in a recent
memorandum from the budget
bureau. will probably not have
to be made, it was authoritative
ly learned today. 1t was also
learned that the salary checks of
teachers for the six months of
the state supported school term
will be sent out this week and
not be held up any longer.
The reason the checks for the
teachers were held up was be.
cause the allotment for teachers
salaries was not sufficient to pay
all the teachers in full for their
last month, according to DR.. A:
T. Allen, state superintendent Of
public instruction, with the re-
suit that he thought it best to
hold all the checks up for the
time being. rather than pay some
teachers in full and not have
anything left for others. Ar
engagements have now been made
so that all the teachers will be
paid in full eventually, DR.. Allen
said today, with the result that
the checks will start going out to
them this week. These checks
may not all be for the entire
amount due the teachers, but
will represent the larger part OF
it. As soon as more money can
be collected, the balance will be
paid in full. DIR. Allen also made
it plain that the department OF
public instruction and not the
budget bureau had been respon,,
sible for holding up the teachers
pay checks, despite the rumorS
to the effect that the budget bu-
reau was responsible.
While no official explanation
of the budget memorandum to
all state departments and institu-
tions, notifying them that they
could not expect more than so
per cent of their usual allot-
ments for the last quarter of the
present fiscal year-April, May
and June-the general opinion
here is that Budgeteer Henry
Burke let his passion for econ
omy and theoretical financing GO
a little too far. 1t is also gen
orally agreed that while the name

WOULD BREAK
With GERMANY
House Resolution Proposes
Abrogation Of Treaties
Unless Cruelty Hats

WASHINGTON, March %. -
CUP)-Rep. Sirovich, Democrat,
New York, introduced a resolu-
ton Monday threatening abroga-
ton of all treaty relations be-
tween this country and Germany
unless alleged mistreatment OF
Jews by Hitlerites ceases at once.
The measure demanded that the
government of Chancellor Adolf
Hitler safeguard the rights of ra-
call and religious minorltles IN
Germany and also to investigate
and punish those guilty of perse-
cution.
At the same time, leaders OF
the American Jewish congress IN
formed Secretary of State Hull
that reports from the American
embassy in Berlin and consulates
in Germany, confirmed their fears
that Jews have been subject to
mistreatment and discrimination.
The telegram to Hull was sign
ed by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise and
Bernard S. Deutuch. 1t was in re-
ply to a wire sent Rabbie Wise
Yesterday by Hull informing him
that the department had been adj
vised that mistreatment of Jews
in Germany had VIRTUALLY terml-
mated"
Hull promised he would contin-
ue to watch the situation and give
whatever help possible. The Jew
ish leaders yesterday thanked the
secretary of state for his report
and added:
eve feel that in view of the
official program of the Nazi { Hit
ler) party and its record of 13
years disseminating hatred against
the Jewish people, the Jews of
Germany are in great and imml-
nent jeopardy Of life and proper
ty, of civil rights and religious
liberty"
Sirovich's resolution was pre-
sented in the form of an ultima
tum. It declared Germany should
act "within a reasonable time" to
end religious strife and continued:
"x Xxx Unless these outrageous
prosecutions against racial and
religious minorities Immediately
cease, the United States in the
name of humanity shall abrogate
all treaties now existing between
the United States of America and
the republic Of Germany.

PEIPING, China, March 2S.-
(UP)-The United States today
made representations to the Jap
anese diplomatic authorities here
as a result of an air raid by Jap
anese planes that bombed the
American Methodist mission prop
erty at Taotowying, near Peiping.
United States Minister Nelson
T. Johnson, as result of his
study Of official reports on the
bombing, which killed nine Chi
nese men, women and children and
endangered the lives of two Amer
lean missionaries, took up the in
cident with Shoichi Nakayama,
japanese charge d'affaires here,
at once.
Johnson, before his meeting
with the Japanese charge, said he
intended to point out emphatically
that the American flag was flying
over the residence of the Ameri-
can missionaries, the Rev. and
Mrs. Kautto, at the time of the
aerial bombardment of the mis-
sion property.
His representation pointed ont
the gravity Of aerial raids inside
the Great Wall, where numerous
Americans reside, particularly in
the cities of Peiping and Tientsin.
The minister requested assur-
ances that American lives and
property would be safeguarded.
The japanese air attack on the
American mission was reported to
Johnson by Frank Lockhart, Unit
ed States consul-general at Tient-
sin.
Lockhart informed the United
States Minister, Nelson T. John
son, that two Americans, the Rev.
and Mrs. Kautto, were the only
foreigners at the mission during
the air raid. His dispatch said they
narrowly escaped death.
The village of Taotowing is east
of Pieping. The property belongs
to the Methodist Episcopal church
south.
The Rev. Mr.. Kautto informed
Lockhart that at 9 a. m. on March
"a (last Friday an airplane cir
cled the mission, over which n
large United States flag was fly
ing. He said the first bomb drop
ped within 20 feet of the mission
residence, and blew two holes in
the compounds walls. A chimney
was demolished.
The missionary reported a sec
ond airplane arrived an hour later
and dropped two more bombs,
SCATTERING windows and soaring
the walls of various buildings.
These bombs, he said, caused
the death of the Chinese, all non
combatants. Kautto's repor
stressed that Taotowying has no
military significance or strategic
position, and that no Chinese
troops were stationed there. He
previously had written Lockhart,
declaring Japanese military
agents visited the town to ascer-
tain the location and nature of
their mission.
The incident occurred shortly
after Italian military observers at
Shanhaikwan, at the Great Wall
held by the Japanese, confirmed
reports brought to Peiping by
tourists that a japanese aircraft
carrier was lying off Chiwangtao,
nearby.
The Italians reported that after
anchoring, the carrier dispatched
four airplanes, which flew inland
over Chinese territory, inside the
