New Congress Due to Receive
7 euchers' Pay Raise PROPOSAL

from $1,000 to $3,l00. Thus there
would be no pay boost over the pres
ent wartime level for new teachers
in this classification, but the top
of the salary bracket would be
raised s4O0.'
1t will be noted that these pro-
posals would place the elementary
and the lower-grade junior high
teachers in the same salary claSsifi-
cations, from 81 300 to $500 a year
The elementary teachers now get
ting the lowest pay would stand to
get the greater increase, since "a
junior high teachers now get 81 500
basic pay and a $500 bonus, or 81 900
which is the proposed new basic
level.
3. Teachers in junior high schools
Of &c classes, or advanced junior high
grades, as well as senior high teach
ers (class 3A) now get basic pay
ranging from 1900 to 81, 800 a year
which when coupled with the $500
wartime bonus gives them a $2,1O0
to $3,100 range. The pending pro-
posal would bring the levels up to
$4,000 to $3,400. a net increase in
basic pay of between $4O0 and 5000.
This proposal also places the
higher grade Junior high teachers on
the same basic salary level as the
average high school teacher.
In addition, the Board of Edu-
cations proposal would raise the
basic pay of administrative princi-
pals and officers of the public school
system by as much as $500. These
are broken down as follows, with
the 5000 bonus included in the pres
ent pay figures:
Elementary administrative prin.
cipals-present pay and bonus, 50 ,20(
to $500; proposed pay range, $3,7O(
to $4,7O0.
Junior high principals-present
pay and bonus. $500 to 81 300; pro-
posed pay range, $4,000 to $500.
Senior high principals-present
pay and bonus, $4,000 to $4,000;
proposed pay range, $4,700 to S., TOO
Superintendent of schools-Pres-
ent pay, $4,000 to $10,000s proposed
range, $4,000 to $4,000.
On the latter point, school Off
cials said there has been no in
crease in the pay of the school su-
perintendent here since 1923 despite
the fact many large cities have
boosted the pay for that post. New
York City, it was pointed out, has
raised the pay of its school super
intendent from $4,000 to $25, 900 a
year.
Discussing the situation generally

Samuel K. Miller Funeral
lis Conducted in Bethesda

Funeral services for Samuel Kel-
logg Miller, IS, retired Postoffice
Department employe, who died
Thursday at Doctors Hospital, were
held yesterday at the funeral home
OF w. Reuben Humphrey, Bethesda.
The Rev. j. S. Albertson, pastor of
the Bethesda Presbyterian Church,
off1ciated and burial was in Cedar
Hill Cemetery.
Mr.. Miller is survived by his
widow. Mrs. Nancy B. Miller; two
daughters, Mrs. William w. Silver
Jr, Washington, and Mrs. Leonard
Roberts, Bethesda: sister, g
brother and two grandchildren.
A native of Buffalo, N. Y, Mr.
Miller lived here most of his life
He moved to Bethesda seven years
ago. He was connected with the
Postoflce Department about 3s
years and at the time Of his re-
tirement, two years ago, was pho
tographer for the department. He

workers in the United States so
grossly underpaid as our school
teachers. Yet We place in the hands
and hearts of these people the diff
flcult tasks of fashioning boys and
girls into well-informed and worth
while citizens >.
1--WE think Of law and medicine
as professions requiring as much as
six years training before a candi-
date can enter the field. 1t is much
the same as to the requirements to
teach in Washington. One must
be a college graduate to teach even
in our elementary schools. 1t takes
masters degree to teach in the
senior highs and yet the present
basic salary for such teachers now
is but $1,000 a year."
He added it was amazing under
these circumstances and in view of
the high pay available in wartime
jobs that Washington has been able
to keep most of its wartime school
teachers and to maintain its high
teaching standards. 1t must be
noted, he said, that the Washington
schools have had to employ many
teachers who are not fully quail
fed"
Survey Reports Cited.
Mr.. Randolph reached his conclu-
sions following conferences with
Robert l.. Haycock, superintendent
OF schools, and A. w. Heinmiller
assistant superintendent of schools,
in charge of school budget matters.
Recent studies, he said, show that
Washington ranks 14th in a list of
II cities having populations of more
than 100000, as to the pay for ele-
mentary teachers; in 18th place out
of list of Is in pay for junior high
teachers; 11th out of list of 16 in
pay for senior high teachers. Balti-
more. he said, was the only city sur
veyed that paid less for junior high
principals, and that Washington
was at the bottom of the list in pay
for high school principals and for
assistants to the superintendent Of
schools.

Its 1,000-a day prisoner average by

AS an indication of the bitter ma
ture of the fighting all along the

of 208 in two days.
Officially the Russians continued
to ignore both the Baltic front,

The broadcast of the Moscow an

Soviet monitor, said the 230-mem-
ber assembly held an organizational
meeting December 81 and issued an
appeal to the Hungarian people to
break with Hitler's Germany and

The new government, as it is

CharacterlZing school teachers
generally as the most grossly
underpaid class" in the country
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee said yester-
day he would sponsor a drive
early in the new Congress for a
basic salary increase for Wash
Iington's public school teachers.
Proposals for increases for teach
ers and administrative officers
the first in 20 years-have been ad-
vanced by public school authorities
and now are under study at the
District Building, it was disclosed.
Proposals of the Board of Fdu-
cation, 1t was learned, call for net
increases in the basic pay of teach
ers ranging from $500 to 5000 a year.
This is over and above the $500
wartime bonus now being paid,
which is subject to continuation
or abandonment before next
June 80.
School officials estimate the pro-
posed pay boosts would call for a
net increased outlay of about
$4,000 a year at the beginning of
the new schedule. This figure
would increase later, it was ex-
planned, as more teachers became
eligible for automati increases pro-
vided under the higher formulas.
Pending proposals and their rela-
ton to present basic and wartime
salary levels shape up as follows:
l. For teachers in elementary
schools, present basic pay ranges
from $1,400 to $4,000, which with
the $500 wartime bonus raises these
figures to $1.7O0 and $2,5O0 The
Board of Education proposes to
raise levels of basic pay up to a
81 900 to $3,l00 bracket.
This would be a basic minimum
pay increase of $500 and a basic
maximum increase of 5000 or q
net increase of 5000 in the pay of
new teachers, counting the present
wartime bonus, and of $500 for top
grade teachers.
2. For teachers in junior high
schools in the "a Qower) class, pres
ent basic pay ranges from 81 900 to
81, 400 year, with the $500 bonus
gives them salaries ranging from
81 900 to s2,700 the school board
proposes an increase in the basic,
pay levels, without regard to con-
tinuation of the bonus, to a range

personnel bombs. Every German on
this front knows this-it will be
harder in the future, for more
Soviet masses will be unleashed."
In Northeast Hungary, where the
enemy now is pinned in a sack
shaped strip of territory about 80
miles long by IS in depth, Moscow's
communique announced capture OF
II towns in a 25-mile Long ring, at
distances of 20 to 25 miles south
and southeast of Losonc.
Moscow dispatches said the enemy
now was attempting to withdraw
along the railway running north
west through Losonc, while contin-
uing defensive action to cover the
retreat.
Col. A. Karpov, Moscow news mill
tary reviewer, wrote that The cam
paign to clear Hungary's chief in

part of the country may be consid-
cred as completed in the main. The

Russions' Entry Into

LONDON, Dec. 23.AA hard
fighting Russian thrust west
ward north of the Danube River
in Hungary has gained as much
as 16 miles and placed Red Army
troops within 100 miles of Vienna
and 72 miles of Bratislava, Mos
cow disclosed tonight as action
famed on the southeastern
front In many sectors.
The Soviet communique ignored a
German radio announcement that
Red Army forces had entered the
southern and eastern suburbs OF
Budapest in new frontal assault,
but described heavy fighting at dis
tances northeast, north, northwest
and southwest of the Hungarian
capital.
The drive toward Bratislava and
Vienna through mountainous, wood
ed country below Ipoly Sag, captured
nine towns and reached the barrier
of the Ipoly River on 10-mile
front down to its confluence with
the Danube, Moscow disclosed. The
Russians were virtually on the river
for another 10 miles right UP to the
1poly Sag area.
Nazis Admit Setback.
DNB, German news agency, in
late broadcast conceded that the
Russians actually had crossed the
Ipoly and had reached the valley Of
the Hron Gram River, II miles
farther west on former Czechoslovak
territory.
Berlin, purposely obscure about
the exact location of this action,
claimed a German counterattack
had cut off this Soviet wedge and
encircled an isolated Russian group
ing of troops.
The Moscow communique an
nounced, without giving place
names, that in the area north of
Ipoly Sag (Sahy) our troops sue
cessfully repulsed counterattacks of
large formations of enemy tanks
and inflicted heavy losses in man
power and equipment"
Among the Hungarian towns
which the Russians listed as cap
tured along the Ipoly River was
Tolges, 100 miles southeast of Vienna
and 70 from Bratislavia, capital of
the German puppet state of Slo-
vakia.
Offensive Renewed.
Southwest of Budapest, on the
front between the Danube and Lake
Balaton, the Russians announced
they had gone on the offensive again
in the area of the city of SZekesfe-
hervar and were now engaged in
heavy fighting with large enemy
tank and infantry formations.
A German broadcast of a 'front.'

against Szekesfehevar and the whole
