Committee Approves
$3.50 Wage Increase
For District Teachers
Senate Action Fixes
Temporary Scale
Pending Puy Study

The Senate District Committee
today reported a teachers pay
bill providing for a temporary
one-year $3.50 raise and di-
recting the Board of Education
to undertake a study of the en-
tire schools systems wage scales
so that Congress might adopt
long-range salary legislation at
it's next session.
The bill covers all teachers, school
officers and other employees whose
salaries are fixed and regulated by
the District Teachers Salary Act of
1945, with the exception of the
superintendent of schools.
Acting Chairman Hoey said the
committee considered the bill STOP
gap legislation to enable teachers tc
meet increased living costs. He
added that the committee felt that
the question of reclassifying wage
grades and other matters pertain
ing to lioeralized upgrading in the
schools system needed additiona,
study before an equitable permanent
bill could be worked out.
Senator Hoey said that no funds
would be provided to enable the
Board of Education to conduct the
inquiry. He said he hoped the re-
port would be submitted to Congress
by next January l.
Senator Hoey said he would seek
quick Senate action on the bill. The
House has not yet acted on the mea-
sure, but members of the House Dis
trict Committee have said they
would give it prompt consideration
once it was passed by the Senate
The raise would be effective for the
fiscal year beginning last Monday

organizations who were waiting out

room generally expressed their ap-
proval to reporters of the long grange

disappc ,nent that the $3.50 raise
was not made on permanent basis
Federal and District employees
have had their wages raised on a
permanent basis, even though Pres
ident Truman has ordered a long
range investigation of Government
salaries one teacher said. why
don't we rate the same considera-
tion?"
The majority, however, agreed that
passage of the $3.50 bill was far
better than no bill at all, and said
that it would aid teachers and other
school employees greatly in paying

New Munitions Cache
Found by British in
Palestine Settlement
Uniforms Also Uncovered
Release of Three Officers
Fails to Ease Tension
By the As.ccioted Prasx

JERUSALEM, July The
British Army announced today
that another large cache of mu-
nitions and "a large quantity of
British battle dress had been
uncovered in the Jewish settle
ment of Mesheq Yagur.
British troops have been searching
the settlement, which is located in
the Haifa Bay area, since last Satur-
day, and previously had reported
unearthing large quantities of con-
traband munitions in an elaborate
underground storage depot.
A British Army officer, replying
TO Zionist charges that the Jews
were being denuded of their de-
fenses, declared:
The presence of British Army
battle dress in the cache could never
be considered defensive equipment.
Great Loss to Jews.
The officer added:
Il don't believe any of us like tc
see the Jews stripped of those things
they nave been SO prodigiously
gathering at such great cost, but the
thing we all object to is the presence
Of demolition materials"
He said the confiscations at Mesheo
Yagur, where total of 20 large
caches had been found up to last
night, were great loss to the Jews
but asserted: 1T is only common
sense tnat we must take everything
at the present time if We are going
to suppress violence"
