Florida School Board
Battle to Justify Teachers

Dade County, Fla. Appar-
entity copying the procedure fol-
lowed in other Florida teachers'
salary cases, the defendant school
board in Dade County, filed this
week additional defenses to the
bill of complaint making the ex-
cuse that salaries paid to both Ne
gro and white teachers and prin-
eipals have been based upon and
determined by the respective eco
nomic requirements of h S e
teachers and principals, according
to the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie whose special counsel is fight.
ing for the equalization of teach
ers pay.
The school board relied upon
the following ridiculous argum-
ents in their effort to deny to the
Negro teachers their constitution
al rights:
The defense pleaded that the

white teachers and principals
than have been paid to Negro

principals and teachers has been
based upon the fact that the cost
OF living of the white teachers
ana principals is greater and prin-
clpals more money han Negro
teachers and principals because
such practice is necessary in order
that white teachers can maintain
their standing as respectable citi-
zens in the community.
In addition to these arguments
the school boards here say that
the white teachers possess great.
er teaching qualifications general
ly than do the Negro teachers.
Another defense is that Negro
teachers are in the highest income
brackets nj the Negro population
while on the other hand in Dade
County, Fla, white teachers are
IN the lowest income brackets
Furthermore says the board Ne
gro teachers can be hired easier
because there are more Negro
teachers competing for the Jobs
and that in order to hire white
teachers the school board must
compete with industries that paw
higher salaries than the school
system is able to pay.

Ely had had good luck in smearing
all previous passing attempts by Gill
bert, but didn't stop this one. The
kick for the extra point was low.
There were still 10 minutes left in
the quarter, but Ely,s aerial shots
for a tieing touchdown were no good.
One was intercepted by Gilbert, which
put the red and white back on its
13-yard line, where a kick got the
ball into safer territory.
During most of the game, Ely was
on the defensive and turned in good
job holding the Gilbert offensive plays
to a single counter. In the opening
quarter. after carrying the ball from
the Ely As to the 8 on off-tackle
smashes, Gilbert suddenly took to the
air for the score but Ely stopped the
visitors cold and took the ball on
downs. Two passes turned the game,
mementarily, into basketball as the
ball bounced from hand to hand. In
both cases, however, the final ere
ceiver" was Gilbert man.
In the second quarter Gilbert again
got to the Ely 8, but the alert red and
white club recovered a Gilbert tumble
to again save their goal line from at
tack. The half ended just as Gilbert
completed a 19-yard pass that put
the ball on the Ely IL.
Ely was in trouble twice in the
third period. On the opening kickoff,
the ball rolled to within inches of the
end zone, and was carried out only to
the 6. A crack at the line lost 8,
whereupon the ball was punted out of
dangerous territory Later in the
period an Ely flat pass over the center
of the line was intercepted and ran
Is yards to the Is. An off tackle
smash by Gilbert carried the ball to
the 4, but at this point Gilbert was
given 15-yard penalty that moved
the pigskin to safer ground

scoreleSs tie.
With the tumble, the tide of battle
was reversed, for at the time the adj
vantage was with Ely, which had the
visiting ball team backing toward its
goal line.
Coach Peter Moroni's boys had the
Gilbert crew in trouble on their 90
yard line, after two plugs at the line
had gone for a total of yards lost.
Then Gilbert kicked, low ball that
hit the ground and rolled fast toward
Ely's goal line. Pat Markovich grabbed
for the ball, but it got away from
him and was finally recovered, in the
scramble that followed, by Mike Pod
peskar of Gilbert on the Ely 25.
A line play lost yard, and an
other picked up two, whereupon Le-
Roy Veralrud faded back to pass and
tossed the pigskin into the waiting
arms of Don Plesha in the end zone.

Disastrous Fires
Bring Warning Of
Crackdown byCity
Garage Destroyed. Three
Houses Damaged After
Trash Blaze Spreads

After two fires within the
city limits, Fire Chief Corn
Reed Monday threatened to
crack down on trash burners
instead of issuing them warn
ingS. ,
A garage at 756 Brighton filled
with assorted junk, papers and other
highly inflammable material was
demolished by fire Sunday after
noon and three neighboring houses
were partially damaged
Reed said that someone had been
burning trash near the garage earlier
in the day and the fire might easily
have spread into the ramshackle
building.
The home of J. F. Biggs was the
most severely damaged from the
flames that spread fro the garage
Damage on all four structures was
estiated by Reed at between SlO0o
and $500.
The department RECEIVED late
call and by the time the engines
arrived the garage was practlcally
DESTROYED and two of the houses
were afire.
Biggs inhabited house owned
by Arthur Skeets, who also owned
the garage. The other two houses
are owned by John l.. House.

were called to the Mckinley school
to combat a fire described by Reed
as deliberately set"
The door leading TO the furnace
room in the basement was on fire
but the flames we're extinguished
before appreciative damage had
been inflicted.
Whether someone was trying to
burn down the building or whether
he was trying to break into the
building by burning out the lock,
was a matter of conjecture. Reed,
said. however. that the position OF
the blaze-off the ground-indicated
that it was deliberately set.
"In the future no warnings will be

Thousands of Enemy's

MOUNT PLEASANT Ia,
June 8. (UP)-United States
Army air forces in six months
have bombed and sunk 33
japanese warships and "A
japanese transports. freighters and
tankers, 1t. Gen. Henry H. Arnold
told the graduating class OF Iowa
Wesleyan college today.
Arnold, commander of the air
forces, said that over 300 japanese
fighters and bombers have been
destroyed by the Army in air COM
bat and over 200 destroyed on the
ground. -~.z.l --..zs.s
How many thousands of Japa-
nese troops have been drowned
when the transports were sunk,
will not estimate" Arnold said.
But since the average transport
carries almost as many soldiers
aboard as there are people in the
audience-and dozens of such trans
ports have been sunk-you can do
your own arithmetic.

lions more Japanese soldiers where
these came from. Japan has al
ready paid in blood for every inch
of Philippine, British, Dutch and
Chinese soil they have overran.
I'VE take just pride in what our
flyers with few planes - against
great odds--have done but we must
not rest on our laurels. we must
think of 1t in terms of the gigantic
struggle ahead"
Arnold said the myth has COM
pletely disappeared, during the first
six months of war, that the jap
anese are fanatic super-fighters.' >
It am telling Tokyo" he said,
that we have thousands more Co
lin Kellys and Butch O'Hares and

is just the dawn of day of
wrath"
Arnold said the task of building
well-rounded air force was prog
ressing according to schedule. He
pointed out that the U S, Army
Air Forces in 1888 had only l,773
planes. In April. 1899. congress au-
thorized an additional $500 planes.
