Allotment 10 Employ
Extra Teachers for
Veterans Due Today

The District Commissioners are
expected to allot approximately
$4,000 in school funds today for the
employment of 81 additional teach
ers for about $50 ex-servicemen who
have been denied admission to high
school veterans centers because of
shortage of instructors.
IF we get the money today we
will have the students in classrooms
by Monday" DR.. Hobart M. Corn
ing, school superintendent, de-
clared.
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler
yesterday cleared the way for fav-
orable action by the Commissioners
in approving the money transfer.
He told A. w. Heinmiller, business
administrator for public schools, he
would recommend hiring the teach
ers on four-months basis ending
in January.
Mason Confident of Approval.
Commissioner Guy Mason gave
his immediate approval and said he
was confident the other Commits
sioners would follow suit.
Twenty new teachers would be as
signed to the white High School
Veterans Center at Central High
School and the II remaining to the
colored center at Armstrong High
School.
Not permitted to create a de-
flclency, school officials were caught
short this fall when veteran regis
trants more than doubled estimates
Approximately 600 white veterans
and $50 colored were expected, but
1854 applied at Central and 5O8 al
Armstrong.
Space Difficulty Solved.
Lack of classroom space anc
| teachers forced school officials t.
place about 600 white veterans or
waiting list" About 26O coloree
applicants were turned away because
of insufficient teachers.
An arrangement whereby classes
heretofore confined to Central woulo
expand to the Pafk View Elementary
School at Newton and Wardel
streets NV, removed the space
barrier for white veterans earlier
in the week.
However, all funds for employ
ing teachers for veterans under
the 1947 school appropriation were
exhausted. To surmont this diff
Guilty, school authorities propose to
divert temporarily other funds Tn
have been spent later in the school
year. The money could be replaced
through deficiency appropriation
when Congress convenes in January.
School authorities already have
started lining up the 81 prospective
new teachers in anticipation of the
Commissioners action.

County office seekers who, under q
Circuit Court ruling, remained bar
red today because they had filed
their candidates. too late.
In the Charles County Circuit
Court, meanwhile, a similar case is
pending, after the county's Repub-
lican State Central Committee filed
petition asking removal of the names
OF two Democrats and one inde-
pendent candidate from the Novem-
ber ballot.
Meanwhile Gov. O'Conor, Demo-
cratic candidate for the United

at Thurmont last night and &C
knowledged that the Federal Gov
ernment had "interfered, sometimes
unwisely, in trying to circumvent
the law of supply and demand.

"Unquestionably many of the
troubles the farmer has faced during
the war years and even in recent
months have been, in a way, man
aged troubles"
He said he favored less Federal
management of farm matters and

support "less interference by Gov

the integrity of free elections" he
said.
Finances of another kind were the
topic of a speech by William Pres

legislative district audience in Bal

If sent to Annapolis, Mr.. Lane
said, he would see to it that such
a program would be adopted. Only
IN that manner he explained, could

hope to cope with mounting fiscal
problems.
The commission to which he re-
ferred is headed by Judge Joseph
Sherbow and is now completing a
