House Approval Sends
Teacher Pay Raise
TO White House

Only the signature of President
Truman now is required to bring to
every teacher in the public schools
an immediate pay raise of $3.50 an
nually. The House yesterday ap-
proved the raise and sent it to the
White House.
The bill, already passed by the
Senate, also directs the Board of
Education to study the pay scale of
all educational employees in the pub
lie schools to discover inequities and
make recommendation to Congress
within year.
Other Bills Passed.
Two other bills, concerning teach
ers passed the House yesterday by
voice vote. They were a liberalized
teachers retirement measure, sent
to the Senate, and a Senate-passed
bill to provide two teachers of mill
tary science and tactics with in
creased pay and the status of de-
partment heads, which went to the
White House.
The teachers retirement measure,
reported out late last week by the
House District Committee, provides
substantially increased annuities for
all teachers. 1t permits higher SAL
aried employees to buy larger an
nuities, more commensurate with
their standards of living. The CELL
ing above which no deductions for
annuities now may be made is $4,000.
The retirement bill will be refer
red to the Senate District Commit
tee which plans to hold another ses-
sion this week, to take action on i'm
portant measures before Saturday
when House leaders hope to ad-
journ.
Funds Already in Hand.
Under terms of the special au-
thorization bill, the school authori-
ties would not have to wait for
deficiency appropriation to begin
paying increases. The measure pro-
vldes for use of school funds al
ready in hand for the purpose.
Adelbert W. Heinmiller, associate
superintendent of schools in charge
of the budget estimated that there
are about 200 officers in the school
system who would be the first to
benefit. Their first pay raise can
be included in their next check for
the month of July, if the president
signs the bill in time. Teachers who
are on 10-months basis
would receive their first increase on
their next check for the month of

448 arrests we're made on stolen

Shop Managers Deny
Responsibility for
Barber Law Violations

Whether the manager of a barber
shop should be held jointly re-
sponsible with journeyman barber
he employs for violations of the
regulations governing tonsorial es-
Establishments here was a major
problem before District officials
today.
| Representatives of the owners and
journeymen split sharply on the
question yesterday during a hearing
before the District Regulations
Committee on new rules proposed
for the Board of Barber Examiners
They agreed, however, that BARRIERS
should work no more than nine
hours a day, six days a week.
Philip Cello, manager of a shor
at 800 Kennedy street NV, told
| the committee that making him re-
sponsible along with the BARRIERS he
employs would force him to devote
all his time to watching their every
move.
Unable to Police Them.
II can show them the regulations
and tell them to abide by them," he
declared, but If I have to police
them too I might as well go out OF
business"
Charles j. Bovello, secretary
treasurer of BARRIERS Union No. 239
said the practice of BARRIERS doing a
full days work in one shop and then
finding four or five hours additional
work elsewhere "in order to make 8
few extra dollars" was injurious tc
their health.
No Regulatory Powers.
Discussion of curtailing working
hours was cut short by Chester
Gray, committee chairman, who
pointed out he did not think the
barber board has authority to regu-
late such things.

thought the term of the loan fair and
the costs reasonable. He said the
company had made an active effort
to obtain an even lower rate of in
terest than that carried in the credit
agreement, the final figure being
compromise.

Counsel Lloyd Harrison why three
quarters of the loan was going to
