Policy 10 End
Delays in Hiring
Plans to Be Offered
Commissioners Soon,
Dr.. Sweeney Says

Reorganization plans for the per-
sonnel department of Gallinger
Hospital are being mapped to end
delays in hiring personnel, DR..
Alvin R. Sweeney, superintendent,
said yesterday.
DR.. Sweeney said the plan may
be ready for the Commissioners this
week. 1t then will have to 90 to
the Civil Service Commission.
In explaining the need for reor-
ganization, DR.. Sweeney pointed
out that some vacant posts of the
hospital might have been filled If
applicants had not been discouraged
by the long wait before their papers
were sent to the Civil Service Com
mission for processing. Even after
that there have been delays of
several weeks.
DR.. Sweeney said there was only
one person who could be relied on
to handle records of an estimated
l 900 employees, and to prepare pa
pers for the Civil Service Commits
sion. The superintendent said
other employees have been trans
ferred to personnel work, but lack
of familiarity and the heavy turn
over in personnel had left records
in confused state.
DR.. Sweeney said he has rec
commended Miss Blanche Stein, a
Commission employe, as director of
the personnel unit and has asked
for employees to keep the work up
to date.
Meanwhile, DR.. Sweeney said, he
is hopeful the new eye, ear and
throat unit at the hospital, first
announced several weeks ago, will
open soon. Plans are being de-
layed, he said, until Capt. Samuel
Burtoff, now at the Pentagon and
slated to head the unit, is dis
charged.
DR.. Sweeney also said he hoped

G|obaI Air GROUPS
Hold First Business
Sessions This Week
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Two organizations dedicated tc
international understanding in all
transport one governmental ano
one private-will begin their first
real business sessions this week at
Montreal.
Both have met previously to or
ganize and elect officers, but with
out acting on the major problems
involved in establishing world
standards for commercial aviation
The provisional International
Civil Aviation Organization grew
out of the World Air Conference at
Chicago last fall. 1t met at Montreal
in August to choose officers, work
out an organization chart and fix
budget. DR.. Edward P. Warner,
then vice chairman of the Civil
Aeronautics Board, was elected
president and resigned from the
CAB.
The International Air Transport
Association succeeds a 25-year-old
body with a similar name but a
much narrower scope. 1t was re-
born in brief meeting at Chicago
developed further in sessions at
Washington and established formal
ly at Havana last April.
John Cooper of Pan American
Airways, Inc, was elected chairman
OF the .nine-member executive COM
mittee. H. j. Symington, head of
Trafs-Canada Airlines, was named
president, an honorary position.
PICAO, a body established to
function in the interim between the
Chicago meeting and the expected
ratification of a permanent world
organization, has about 40 men,
Der countries. IATA has a men,
bership of go international airlines
representing at least Is countries.
Committees have been working on
many of the matters involved in
co-ordinating air transport prac-
tices SO that wherever planes fly
they will feel at home. The goal
is single standard for safety. skill
communications, traffic rules and
control, weather reporting, and
marking of charts and maps. There
also will be a uniform method of
search and rescue and accident
investigation.
1ATA, which like PICAo has its
headquarters at Montreal, will meet
Tor only four days. PICAO will re-
main In continuous session, the re-
cess since August having been taken
to permit time for member coun-
tries to nominate representatives on

Teachers 10 Get
First Pay for
Fall Tomorrow
Checks 5 Days Late;
Hoycock Promises
To Investigate Delay

Public school teachers will re-
celve their first fall pay checks
tomorrow-five days late.
This was announced yesterday
by Robert l.. Haycock, superin-
tendent of schools, who said he and
the District auditor, A. r. Pilkerton,
were determined to avoid such de-
lays in the future.
The two officers are seeking a
solution to the frequent delays, Mr..
Haycock said. He has particularly
recommended a former custom of
submitting the first fall payroll in
two sections. Now all 5000 salary
records are submitted at the same
time.
The pay checks originally were
scheduled for delivery last We'd
nesday. Delays have occurred in
the fall of every wartime year be-
cause of the heavy personnel turn
over during the summer. This
summer the teachers pay bill
changed the salary of all teachers.
further complicating the job, Mr..
Haycock said.
To Explain Delay.
Mr.. Haycock said he planned to
send a circular to teachers tomor-
row explaining the delay. The
school pay Office had the payroll at
the District auditors Office on Oc-
tober 2, he added, but the Nimitz
Dau hoIidov a,,d tba raI,,otioy, +o O
40-hour week prolonged the time
the District auditor usually takes
to get the checks out.
The teachers have described
vividly in letters and phone calls to
newspapers and officials the embar-
rassment caused by the delayed
checks.
Mr.. Haycock said he increased the
number of clerks in the school pay
Office this year from three to six, he
said, but the new salary scales
tripled rather than doubled the
labor necessary on the 244-page roll.
Teacher Halls Proposal.
Miss Sue Brett, a spokesman for
| the High School Teachers Associa-
ton, hailed the determination of
school officials to avoid future de-
lay.
A statement condemning the fall
ure to pay District school teachers
on time was issued yesterday by the
Executive Committee of the Ele-
mentary Classroom Teachers AS
Sociation.
The statement urged that the bu-
reau responsible for holding up the
paychecks be found and that steps
be taken to correct the delay.

Park Board 10 Seek
Three Zone Chances

Rezoning of more than 200 acres
of land in Prince Georges and
Montgomery Counties now zoned
for single-family residential use,
will be asked by the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission. The tracts had
been zoned for apartments during
the war emergency.
Fred w. Tuennler, director of
planning, said last night that two
Of the petitions initiated by the
commission effect the Mccormick
Goodheart tract which contains SO
acres of land in Prince Georges
County and II In Montgomery,
fronting on the west side of New
Hampshire avenue and the north
side of University lane.
The third petition involves so
acres of land in Prince Georges
County on the south side of Uni
versity lane, west of New Hampshire
avenue.
The Mccormick -Goodheart tract,
Mr.. Tuennler said, was zoned for
apartment house use about three
months after Pearl Harbor at the
request of the Defense Homes
Corp, which planned to provide
war emergency housing for some
$500 workers.
Commission action favoring the
rezoning at that time was due
primarily to the war, he explained,
despite the commission planning
staff which opposed the rezoning
because the area was too far re-
moved from an urban center and
transportation to schools and other
facilities was lacking.
Although plans were prepared,
the development of the tract by the
Defense Home Corp, never took
place because of the WPB refusal
to permit construction of apart
ment buildings due to the unavail-
ability of materials, including water
and sewage, and lack of public
facilities.
