CHICAGO, Dec. 20 - WD-The
American Federation Of Teachers
(AFL) today began a campaign Tor
legislation which would asure al
public school teachers in the U. 5.
a minimum annual SATISFY of $4,000
and limit the size Of classes to 70
students.
The F~ederation's Nat~S1al Exc
cutive board said it had asked
hundreds of affiliate local and state
organizations to press for sucn
legislation because there is no
other way 10 solve the crisis facing
the public schools"
The council said it was basing
it's demands on the fact that many
teachers are leaving the profession
because they can make "a living
wage" elsewhere.
I'VE believe that every child IN
the nation is entitled to at least a
81. 500 teacher" the council said.
It added that the overcrowdlng
of classes has been Responsible

ture of $3.50, 900.
Among the more recent contrl-
buttons to Wilmington's Industrial
DEVELOPMENT was the opening o. a
new plant by the Port City Hosiery
Mills.
The area surrounding the port
came in for its share of improve
ment with fertilizer plants adding
new machinery and methods OF
manufacturing.
The former Tide Water drydock
facilities were purchased from the
War Assets administration by the
Robinson Chemical company, OF
Norfolk, Va, for reconversion into
a fertilizer plant.
Shortly afterwards the Smith
Douglas fertilizer company began
construction OF a new plant in
Brunswick county y. The facility
was recently placed into oper-
alton.
Keeping in step with the de-
velopment of the city, both from
an industrial and port develop
ment view, the State Port develop
thority offered to purchase the the Wi vii

The site which housed the North
Carolina shipbuilding company
during the war suspended orer-
ations early in October.
In the meantime the U. S. Mari
time commission had dred5ed the
Brunswick river into a layup basin
FOR a reserve fleet of 500 decom-
missioned vessels.
The shipyard was then convert,
ed into a stripping yard for craft
coming to Wilmington for storage.
