Hoey Plans 10 Press
Bill for Flat $3.50
Teacher Increase

Acting Chairman Hoey of the
Senate District Committee came out
today definitely for passage of the
fiat $3.50 basic pay increase for
Washington school teachers and
officers. as against other proposed
plans.
He voiced fear that unless this
bill, as advocated by the Commits
sioners and the Board of Education,
were adopted there was little chance
of any legislation in the closing days
of this Congress.
Senator Hoey, Democrat, of North
Carolina, said he found that about
80 per cent of the teachers in the
Districts public school system
agreed that the $3.50 plan should be
adopted under the circumstances,
although they would prefer their
original proposal for a $500 fiat pay
raise.
McCarran Plan Differs.
A sharply different plan has been
advocated by Senator McCarran,
Democrat, of Nevada, a member of
the District Committee and chair
man OF the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee.
Some months ago, he offered
bill providing basic pay raises rang
ing from 500 to $500 year and also
a modified system of the single
salary scale" suggested by teacher
union Spokesmen. This latter is
found in the "escalator" clauses in
the McCarran bill.
Seeks Conference.
More recently. however, Senator
McCarran proposed a combination
of his bill with that proposed by city
and school authorities. Under this
there would be raises of from $3.50 to
$3.50, plus the effects of the "esca-
lator" clause for lower grade teach
ers who could match educational
qualifications for higher grade sala-
ries.
Senator Hoey said he would seek
a conference today with Chairman
McCarran and other members of the
District subcommittee in charge of
the teacher pay bills, in the hope of
arriving at some agreement.
Senator Hoey plans a meeting of
the District Committee later this
week. At that time he plans action
on the teacher pay bill. and also on
the measure to authorize construc-
ton OF twin spans over the Potomac
to replace the present Highway
Bridge
