Pay Cut Studied
For Mary|and's
White Teachers
Joint County, etote
Burden Proposed to
EquoIize All Salaries
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 8.-Marylands
Legislature, in recess for the week
end took a brief breathing spell TO-
day preparatory to tackling the ses-
sions most formidable problems
most of them financial, all OF them
complicated.
Rapidly assuming proportions OF
long -to-be remembered hc adache
were questions of equalizing salaries
of white and colored teachers, just
how far to go with tax reductions.
and putting the States fiscal al
fairs in a liquid, ready-for-war-if-
it-comes condition.
The teachers pay issue, made
suddenly vital to hundreds OF
teachers throughout Maryland by
reports that salary cuts were being
considered, has left the counties
ranged against the State govern
ment, with the balance of Gov.
O'Conor's S1O6, ,664 900 budget seri-
ously threatened.
Two Proposals Studied.
Two proposals we're being dis
cussed as possible means of pay
equalization after a Federal court
held that colored teachers pay in
Anne Arundel County should be
equal to white teachers salaries.
One proposal was to reduce white
teachers salaries to offset the IN
crease for colored instructors. The
other was that the burden for the
raises-estimated at S4l2,000 annu-
ally-be made a joint State-c0unty
obligation.
Determined efforts by Senate
bloc to arrange automatic income
tax reductions if and when revenue
from the levy goes beyond 100000
likewise figure prominently in the
fiscal picture.
Always in the background where
appropriation measures are con-
cerned was the Governors warning
last week that defense measures
may have to be undertaken in the
State on large scale-and financed
from a fund which may equal or
exceed the s10OO.000 defense ap-
preparation established in 1917.
% Council Bills Passed.
The uncertainties have been held
by administration leaders as a whip
over the heads of legislators anxious
to slice up the States surplus funds
into tax reductions or for other pur-
poses. Whether the whip continued
to cut deep enough was a prime ad-
ministration worry.
Meanwhile, a survey showed that
one of the sessions big question:
marks-the Legislative Council-was
maintaining a high average on its
bills.
OF the 100 council bills introduced
in both Houses to date-64 in the
Senate and 56 in the House-22 have
been sent to the Governor for his
signature. Thirty others are only
a few steps removed from final
passage
The State tax bill and the budget
still are to be acted upon, the former
we'll on its way in the House after
passing the Senate with but two
negative votes. The budget has not
yet been reported out of committee.
Pending is the Governors green
bag of appointments subject TO
Senate confirmation, which must be
handed down within so days after
the start of the session.
