Under the equalization plan it is
proposed that women teachers be

equal work and that the differential
between high school and element

year.
While every effort was made
to maintain operations at maxi
mum levels, practically all depart
mentS in the United States were
affected by critical shortage of
labor" he report said. This sit,
uation was relieved to some extent
at the domestic mines by furlough
of soldiers by the Army and by a
miners training program which
prepared inexperienced men for
work underground.
Most of the plant improve
ments begun in 1912, were COM
pleted and aided materially in
maintaining production and off
setting increased costs. Facilities
were installed at Anaconda, Mont,
for the treatment of waste prod
uctS accumulated from previous
operations which will add approx
mately 25,O0000O pounds of cop

the copper and brass products
were for munitions and the re-

the high school level of $14oo.

In regard to increasing the max
ina, a spokesman for the Teachers
association said Sunday, that the
old rates were established years ago
before the cost of living started to
climb rapidly upward and have been
advanced only slightly since then.
He said he believed it was generally
agreed that the high cost of living
would continue for at least another
five years, even if peace comes be-
fore that time.
Action of the board of finance in
turning down a request for cost
of living adjustment to be paid this
year and the rejection Of a plea to
the board of education to reapply
for a payment of $500 for this pur-
pose, led to consideration OF seek
ing higher maxima. 1t was reported.
It is doubtful, the association
spokesman said, If any definite ac-
ton along these lines will be taken
until the start Of the next school
year.

the army now.
Pohlenz, son of a university pro-
feSsor in BreSlau, was a public rela-
lions officer with the Storm Troops
in Silesia in the "press, propaganda
and Photographic division" He was
forced to enter a NaZi work camp
and then join the Storm Troops to
prove his party loyalty
In the work camp, he almost be-
came crippled by being on his feet
from 4 a. m. to 8 p. m. every day,
receiving full army training in ad-
dition to road building assignments.
ESCAPED PURGE
On July /, 1884, his parents were
to celebrate their 25th wedding an
niversary. Pohlenz was given a
furlough to join them at their home
just four miles from the Czech bor-
der.
At his home, he learned by ra-
dio of the massacre of the troops
on orders of Hitler and the regu-
lar army. Knowing that he would
be marked for killing by the very
nature of his rank as Troop Leader,
he escaped into Czech territory. He
still has the letter of the furlough,
permitting him to be absent from
June 20 to July /.
Months later, when the hue and
cry had died down, he returned to
Germany and was permitted to
resume his university studies,
eventually winning an exchange
professorship in sociology at the
University of Kansas and later at
Kansas City University.

Concert Is Expected
To Heighten Interest
In Symphony Drive

The drive to raise $130,0O0 for
operation of the National Symphony
Orchestra during the coming con-
cert season was being pressed with
new vigor today, after disappointing
results for the first five days were
reported yesterday at a luncheon
meeting of volunteer campaign
workers.
Yesterdays progress report, the
first made since the campaign was
launched last Wednesday, listed
contributions totaling $41. IT'S, or 31.7
per cent of the goal. This repre-
sented an increase of only $8,985
over the amount available at the
opening of the campaign as the re-
suit OF advance pledges.
A. E. Finkenstaedt, campaign
chairman, read some encouraging
signs, however, in the Disappointing
report. The contributions this year
reported 1,148 pledges, while only
744 contributors were listed at the
corresponding period last year and
1863 at the same stage in 1912.
Broader Interest Indicated.
This larger number of pledges in
dlcates broader interest in the
National Symphony and greater ac-
tlvlty by workers in covering the
potential contributors assigned to
them. Mr.. Finkenstaedt said.
Particularly disappointing in the
campaign so far has been the re-
sponse from Government employees.
At yesterdays luncheon, the COM
mittee in charge of Government
contributions reported the collection
OF only 1927, or 81 per cent of the
$4,000 quota assigned the Govern
ment group.
Federal Concert Tomorrow.
Leaders of the drive were hope
ful, however, that totals in this
division would be sWelled as a result

tions suggested by Federal employe
groups and is priced to fit the bud

"The only manner in which re-
