Do Not Alter Gas
Coupon Numbers

"Draw line through the old tag
number on your gas ration book
and write in the number of your
1914 tag, but do not write the new
number on the coupon itself. AL
tering the number on the coupon
makes it illegal" warns Allison H
Chaplin, of the Rockville Rationing

Failure to have every coupon in

Teachers To
Get $129,6OO
$4,000 Comes From State
Aid Fund Of $1,53O,OOO
To Counties

The school teachers of Montgom-
cry County will receive extra COM
pensation totaling $129, 600 during
the IL school months from May 1,
as the result of Legislation spon-
sored by Governor Herbert r. o.
Conor and passed at the Special
Session of the Legislature.
Of the total amount to be paid,
three-quarters, or $97, 200, will be
paid directly from the State Treas
ury, while $14,41s additional will
be available as the result of the
$27 per teacher allocated by the
State last year 30 those counties
making provision to carry the $50
per month bonus payment to teach
ers through April Of this year.
The $3.50, 900 to be paid by the
State as a result of the bill which
the Governor has announced that
he will sign in the very near fu-
ture, is in addition to the $780,
900 which Governor O'Conor in
cluded in his budget for teachers
bonus at the session last year. Not
only is it the first time in the his
tory of the State that the State
Treasury has participated directly
in the payment Of salaries to teach
ers in the counties and city, but,
with the additional 81 100000 now
allocated for such payments, the
overall State appropriations for
the public school system during
these two years will be in excess
of $20,000,000, by far the largest
amount ever provided in any two
years.
In voicing his qualification at
the passage of the teachers bonus
bill, Governor 0'Conor declared:
"When / submitted to the Legis-
lature, at the outset of this special
session, the proposed solution of
this problem, l felt that the sug-
gested plan of distribution of cost
was entirely fair and reasonable.
was particularly anxious to have
recognition given to the fact that
the local governments and the
State should share this response
bility. Such a course is in keep
ing with the traditional policy by
which public education here is an
obligation of local government, ad-
ministered by officials in the vari-
Gus communities directly answer
able to their fellow citizens, and
with the State rendering substan-
tial assistance in preserving the
integrity of the system. The Legis-
lature has affirmed this basic
policy in the enactment now
passed.
In reality, State money to the
extent of SO percent of the whole
is making possible the school
teachers bonuses over the period
until July /, 1945. In addition to
the rs percent provided in the bill,
the SGT per teacher contribution
made previously and representing
$215,000 from the State Treasury
can be used by the local govern
ments with which to pay their
share.
II express genuine satisfaction
that this workable plan has been
brought about, as a result of which
we will be able to make these adj
ditional payments 10 the school
teachers in recognition Of their
splendid services"

feeling is being strained by the
stubborn neutrality of the Irish.
1t is not that
JapS and they are not en-
Nazis titled to follow
In Ireland strict neutrality.
And it is not
that the United States desires
the active aid of the Irish in
prosecuting the war. Nor is it
case of taking sides with the
British. Our request that Fire
expel from her country the rep
resentatives of Germany and
Japan is purely a protective
measure. The presence of Ger
man and Japanese nationals in
Ireland is a constant source Of
real danger to our plans for in
vasion of the European conti-
nent and our desire to have
them expelled is prompted by
fear of loss of our men. That
the Irish should take an uncom-
promising attitude on their neu-
trality course in the face of an
American request seems out OF
line with the age-old friendship
of the two peoples. What
Premier DeValera can possibly
see as gain for his country is
hard for Americans to under
stand. Surely he must know
that there can be no future for
his country's new and hard-won
freedom unless Germany and
Japan are defeated. He must
also realize that defeat for the
Allies can mean
Real Danger only worse sub
To Invasion jugation than
Plans the Irish have
ever known. He
should know that, despite the
blood ties and natural good feel
ing Americans have always had
for the Irish, the welfare of our
own boys and Of our own coun-
try come first. We don't want
to see our military over-run any
neutral State but we will insist
on safeguarding our own inter-
ests. And the Irish have forced
British officials to issue an edict
to the effect of which can only
bring additional hardships on
Irish citizens.
It is to be hoped that before
the issue becomes too clearly
drawn Premier DeValera and
his advisers will recognize, even
if only from a selfish stand
point, the desirability of ac-
quiescing to the American re-
quest.
There is greater percentage
of Americans with Irish ances-
tors than of any other nation
atty. The Irish have had as
important role in the develop
ment of America as any other
nationality. The Irish are
therefore more closely related to
us than any other nationality.
They are our uncles, cousins,
etc. But they ought to under
stand that the time comes when
our interest is with our fathers,
sons and brothers. We don't
cherish disagreement with our
relatives and friends but neither
will we knowingly permit our
cousins, by act Of commission or
omission, to endanger the well
fare and even the lives Of our
brothers and of our national
interests.
No leader in the world under
stands America better than
Premier DeValera. No leader
in the world has more reason to
be especially considerate Of and
friendly to the United States.
This is the test Of Mr.. DeValera's
friendship for America, leader
ship Of his countrymen, and,
most Of all, his craftsmanship.
The future greatness Of his Irish
Republic might well rest with
the decision he makes for his
people today.

By ALICE EYERSMAN.

The expert dancing of the three
soloists of last nights concert at
the Water Gate enliyened the pro-
gram by its variety. Marina Svet-
Iowa, prima ballerina of the Metro
politan Opera, and her partner
Alexis Dolinoff, appeared in numbers
from grand opera. while Anne Simp-
son added a different touch in her
Spanish dances. The concert also
marked the end of Antal Dorati's
conducting engagement, during
which the earnest and musical di-
rector has won many friends.
Well versed in style and with
his own natural feeling Of a high
order, Mr.. Dorati has had the op-
portunity to present many facets
Of his talent IN the programs of
his choice. In all, his sound mu-
steamship, authoritative conviction
and ardent temperament have never
lessened in intensity and new color
has been given to familiar works
through his individual conception
of them. For the Water Gate
Symphony Orchestra last night he
programmed the Beethoven Sew
enth SYMPHONY" Strauss tone,
poem, Don Juan" and Rossini's
Overture to william Tell
Although his tempt in the Bee
thoven Symphony were conserva-
tive, he achieved great clarity in
his directing OF it. The orchestra
tone was exceptionally uniform in
sorority and in the Don Juan"
reproduced the dramatic outline of
the work with good effect. The ac-
compartments for the dancers were
also excellently played, giving a
background that allowed the solo,
lists full freedom in their interpreta-
tionS.
Miss Svetlova belongs to that
class Of dancers who have brought
the ballet to a high peak of per-
fection by their thorough technical
training. The coordination and
f,uidity of her bodily movements
and her graceful arm technique
were to be admired in the figures Of
