TEACHERS PAY
RAISE FACES
LONG DELAY
Central Labor Union
Urges Prompt Increase
In All Salaries

Months may be required before
the Board Of Education can pass
upon the question Of how many
of the vocational school teachers
in the local system shall be given
salary raises under the recently
enacted law through which they
were raised to the level OF junior
high school teachers.
This situation became known
today when it was learned several
members of the board are away
from Washington, and it was i'm
possible yesterday even to secure
q full representation Of the special
committee on vocational guidance
when a hearing was held on the
salary question.
With only two members OF the
committee present, persons from
the vocational teachers group, the
Central Labor Union and other
bodies appeared to urge the i'm
mediate raising Of all vocational
salaries from the presence maxi
mum of $4,000 to maximums OF
$4,000 and $4,000, as provided by
c ngreSS.
Standing in the way Of the in
crease is the opinion Of DR.. Frank
w. Ballou, supe rintendent of
schools, that only those vocational
teachers who have the equivalent
o. a high school education should
be given the new status. Action by
the Board Of Education is there
fore necesSary-1f all the SO voca-
tional teachers are to benefited at
once.
Henry Gilligan, chairman, and
John H. Wilson were the only
members of the committee present
at yesterdays meeting. They heard
labor representatives argue that
experience and not formal educa.
ton makes a good teacher OF
plumbing or some other trade sub
ject.

BLUM FACING
OVERTHROW
CONTINUED from Page II

CONTINUED from Page II
Interior Roger Salengro, who was
faced with a senate ultimatum
either to promise or be overthrown.
Salengro made a flat promise.
The senate then gave Blum's
government an almost unanimous
vote of confidence-230 to but
only after obtaining from Salengro
the statement it wanted. Salengro
finally said:
eff occupation strikes start
again the government will use
every appropriate means to pre-
vent them"
This reply was greeted with wild
shouts from the usually staid SEN
ate, revealing the senator's anxiety
for the future Of the republic
should there be another wave OF
revolutionary strikes like those be-
fore which ushered in the Blum
government a month ago, paralyz-
ing France and bringing the ma
ton to the verge of revolution as
100000 workers folded arms and
occupied factories, offices, farms
and department stores.
But while the Salengro state
ment caused jubilation in the SEN
ate, it was a different story in the
chamber of deputies. As soon as
the news reached the chamber,
the Communists who have been
supporting Blum literally leaped
from their seats with rage.

Not Time Yet for Daytime

Former Says.

Daytime prohibition of parking in
the downtown sections mo doubt is
coming, but it is not time yet" Com
missioner Hazen said today. in dis
agreeing with the proposal of Com
missioner Allen that the ban be
adopted for an experimental period
Of four months.
You can't jump into such thing
by merely saying let's do it." Hazen
said. I'VE may come to downtown
parking prohibition in the future. I
think we will, but I think it i'm
practicable at the present time.
Where would the people go?
Where would the 100000 Govern
ment employees go with their cars?
There aren't enough garage facilities
for them yet.
Hazen referred to the study now
being made by Traffic Director Will
liam A. Van Duzer of the probable
effect of a plan to ban parking on
the "fiow" side of all arterial high
ways during rush hours, suggested
by the Public Utilities Commission.
This is opposed by merchants, who
claim it would seriously interfere with
loading and unloading Of vehicles

Of RELIEF BURDEN
Street Reveals Diminution
of Funds Caused Cut
April |.

While awaiting Budget Bureau ac'
ton on the Districts request for an
additional supplemental relief appro-
priation of $258,000 for use to July J.,
Welfare Director Elwood Street en-
phasized today that diminution of
funds caused the dropping of more
than 40 per cent of the case load
on April /.
Eliminating 4,180 employable cases
constituted the greatest proportional
reduction since the relief division was
set up in August, 1882, Street said.
While this number of employables was
dropped, the case load actually was
decreased during the last month by
6,301 cases.
At the beginning Of April, 5,998
cases were on hand, although only
1864 actually we're receiving relief,
he added This figure is larger than
previous estimates made before the
monthly statement was completed.
1,505 Dependent Children Cases.
Out of the total Of home care and
general relief cases. there were 1,505
dependent children cases, including
4,192 children, coming under the So
cial security act provisions, for which
the District is entitled to a one-third
reimbursement up to S18 a month
for a first child in family and sl2
for each other child. A sum Of
s43,767 was spent for such children
last month.
Included in the case load April
/ were 1878 applicants for old-age
assistance, which were being investi-
gated and "a individuals whose ap-
plications had been approved. There
were 224 cases receiving mothers PEN
sions under the home care act. plus
SO additional mothers pension appli-
cations under study.
Mer with families are not the only
tragic cases seeking aid from the
Community Chest agencies since cur
tailment of public relief April l. Miss
Florence Murray of the Catholic Char
tiles meanwhile pointed out.
Veterans Case Cited.
Miss Murray cited the case Of man,
nearing so, a resident Of the District
for ~ years, a widower for many years,
and recently confined to hospital.
He served overseas in the World War
and has never been on relief. His
recent illness limits his capabilities
to clerical work and he has been un-
able to find anything in that line. He
applied to the Public Assistance Divi-
sion for help but was refused because
he was termed an "employable."
Another applicant reported to the
Chest has a wife and four children,
all under IL. He may be faced with
possible eviction May /, due to elimi-
nation of relief funds which were used
to supplement his small income from
w. P. A. work.

HEARING IS HELD
ON z0N|NG PLANS
Revision to Halt Buying and

Consents Is Sought.

Revision Of District zoning regu-
lations to halt buying and selling of
property-owner consents for certain
realty uses was slated for final con-
sideration today before the Zoning
Commission.
A special public hearing on the
commissions plan for elimination CT
all consents and substitution of me-
chanical rules and other means Of
protecting community interests was
held today.
Reports of high prices being asked
and of payments frequently being made
for consents, plus doubts as to con-
stitutionality Of the consent require
ments. moved the commission to sug-
gest the changes.
Plan Is Amended.
The plan, amended smewhat since
a previous hearing, would give the
District Commissioners power to bar
gasoline stations, automobile repair
shops and public service garages from
first commercial areas. even though
they met mechanical requirements, if
the city heads found the plans now
in keeping with public interest.
These types of developments would
be permitted as a right in second
commercial zones, mechanical require
ments being met. At present they
are allowed in first commercial zones
if nearby property owners give written
consents.
Another illustration is that fra
ternity houses and private clubs would
be allowed, without consents, in resi-
dental "A" areas on the theory they
are in the "mutiple-family" class, for
which that coming classification ap-
plies.
Mrs. Belle Cutten Parker Of George
town urged that hereafter property
owners be given notice of applications
for changes in coming which would
affect residential areas.
Capt. Hugh P. Dram, executive Off
Ger of the Zoning Commission, said
that notices will be required in all
cases Of applications for the establish
ment Of gasoline filling stations, public
service garages and auto repair shops
in first commercial zones.
