CoIored Teacher Wins
Discrimination RuIinq
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE. Nov. 23.-A Federal
Court decision enjoining Anne
Arundel County from racial dis
elimination in setting pay scales
for white and colored school teachers
left the County School Board faced
today with difficult financial prob
lem
Judge w. Calvin Chestnut, decid-
ing the first case of its kind brought
to United States Court, yesterday
ruled the county had violated the
constitutional rights of Walter Mills,
colored high school principal, IN
setting his scale of pay.
Mills testified he was paid S1.050
annually compared with $1,000 a
year paid white teachers holding
equivalent jobs. Evidence showed,
Judge Chestnut held, that the Coun-
ty School Board was guilty of "un-
lawful discrimination" against Mills
because he was colored.
Judge Chesnut added, however,
that the school board could legally
establish white-colored pay differ
entails provided salary differences
were based solely on individual
qualifications, capacities and abili-
ties"
Anne Arundel County's problem
now was whether to appeal the
lower courts decision. School Sept
George Fox had testified payment
of equal salaries to white and COL
ored teachers would force a 7-cent
increase in the county tax rate.
| On the other hand. he said, the
question OF an appeal must be taken
up at meeting of the School Board
where the expenses of further litiga-
ton will be the chief factor in the
discussion.
