Corning Advises
Teacher Unity
On Pay Views
Board Unit Hears
McCorron's Bill for
Increase Criticized

Public school teachers today had
q reproof from their new superin-
tendent, DR.. Hobart M. Corning, who
declared their objections to the
teachers pay raises proposed by
Senator McCarran, Democrat, Of
Nevada are in such "state of con-
fusion" that an immediate confer
ence of teachers should be called to
reconcile their differences.
Attire two-hour hearing yester-
day, during which more than a
dozen groups took exception to the
McCarran proposals, DR.. Corning
said members of Congress would
never be impressed enough to pass
the bill unless the teachers reached
q united 'front.'"
Principal among the provisions of
the McCarran bill is a $1O0 raise
for nearly all teachers. Mrs. Mary
Resh, chairman of the Joint Legisla-
tive Council. said the 38 educational
organizations in her group believe
all teachers-especially the $500
elementary ones-Should get an
immediate $500 raise.
Flat 20 Per Cent Suggested.
Both the current high cost of liv-
ing and the dignity" of the teach
ing profession demand this increase,
Mrs. Resh said.
Miss Sue Brett, representing the
High School Teachers Association,
suggested a fiat 20 per cent raise
for all existing pay scales. These
salaries were raised last July.
The hearing at the Franklin Build
ing also touched on a revision of
the present teachers retirement
scales, proposed by Representative
Combs, Democrat, of Texas. Daniel
Lloyd, representing the men teach
ers of Washington" objected to the
bill because it eliminates an ad-
vantage the present system gives to
men on the basis of their tendency
to die sooner.
Russell Reagh, a representative of
the United States Treasury, jumped
to his feet to declare that the pro-
posed new system is "fairer."
A joint legislative and personnel
Committee of the Board of Educa-
ton, which conducted the hearing,
took the objections of the teachers
under advisement DR.. Corning
warned that since congressional
fommittee hearings may be held
soon on both bills, the teachers had
fbetter "get together SOON"
Supporter for Bill Heard.
Mrs. Resh said the joint legisla-
tive council would consider asking
all teachers to meet with them soon
The only proponent of the Nc
carran proposals was Miss Mary
Dent, representing the Teachers.
Uaion American Federation of
Labor. She said her group had
asked Senator McCarran to propose
his bill to remedy faults of last July's
pay raise. She was surprised to
lind the wishes of teachers already
had progressed SO far beyond ;Sena-
tor McCarran's bill, under which the
largest raise would be $500 for Ger
tain junior and senior high school
teachers in high bracket.
Among the organizations wanting
higher raises were the Association |
of Elementary School Principals,

Naval Academy
10 Start Aviation
Courses July 6
$4,000, 900 Sought
For Field to Permit
Expanded Troining
BY the Associated prs..

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Mar. 19.-vice
Admiral Aubrey w. Fitch, Naval
Academy superintendent, asserted
today that although any expansion
of academy functions depended on
Congress, aviation courses as sep
arate studies would begin July 6.
The aviation department, estab-
lished recently under the command
Of Capt. Robert B. Pirie, will take
over then its job envisaged by Ad-
miral Fitch: Giving every mid
shipman an appreciation of and a
respect for air power"
Aviation subjects had been taught
before in related naval study classes.
In a joint interview, the admiral
and Capt. Pirie, disclosed their hopes
for developing the aviation depart
ment.
$12,00O,O00 Field Sought.
Admiral Fitch said that a recon-
mendation for $4,000, 900 academy
air facility had been submitted to
Congress on the grounds that it was
highly desirable that air facilities
be made available within reason
able distance of the Naval Academy. y
The field proposed, Capt. Pirie
explained, would be a f1rst-class
military airport with four runways
and other macadamized mats for
training purposes.
One hangar was recommended for
the first building program.
IF the funds were appropriated
I believe the facility could be ready
for use by the summer of I948,''
Capt. Pirie said.
One of the problems facing the
Navy would be acquiring land, since
its present holdings are not large
enough for such an air facility, the
officers agreed.
Hopes to Reach Pilot Stage.
Meanwhile, the department is
going ahead with plans to give
middies as much aviation training
as possible. Specialized course in
flight observation will be given the
second class this summer. Lecture
courses, using visual training aids
developed during the war, will in
clude organization, history and all
phases of flying.
Indoctrination will be continued
on carrier cruises and participation
In Army-Navy amphibious opera
tions.
Eventually, Admiral Fitch said,
he hopes that training might reach
the plotting stage before a mid
shipman leaves the academy.
ut is only in solo flying that
they will learn reliance on them
selves as aviators," he added, but
solo flying does not make a finished
pilot. Any such training would not
outmode the years special training
at q naval training station. 3
Il see IN the, future aviation will
expand to become the most i'm
portant part of the Naval Academy.
But the naval officer will be a Navy
officer first and aviation will be In
any case a speciality" the admiral
concluded.

up to june so, 1916, aided from four
TO six millions prisoners Of war in
SS countries at an expenditure of
well over $1,000, 900 provided by
gifts from Americans and the peo-
pies Of other countries. Generous
contributions to this fund were
made In this city. The service still
continues among nearly three mil
lion prisoners and SOC, 1000 displaced
persons.
During World War II, YMCAs
also administered over SO millions

guesses. Dead animals inside a
wall cause odors that apparently
seem to be stronger at some times
