St. Paul Teachers End
Strike as Pay Increase
lis Referred 10 Voters
By the Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Mimi. Dec. 28.-St
Paul public school teachers last
night suspended their strike after
the City Charter Commission ap-
proved an amendment providing
funds for the increased salaries and
school improvements the instructors
had demanded before they left their
classrooms for picket lines on No
vember 25.
Fred M. Truax, commissioner OF
education, said the 36,578 pupils
would return to classes January 6
with the possibility of opening the
city's n. schools next Monday If
survey shows not too many teachers
have left for the holidays.
Mr., Truax said time lost would be
made up by continuing classes
through Easter vacation and farther
into June than usual.
Miss Mouie Geary, chairman OF
the Teachers Joint Council, issued
the statement calling off the walk
out after the Charter Commission
approved an $18 per capita annual
expenditure for school purposes only.
The amendment will be submitted to
st. Paul voters, who must approve
it by a go per cent majority. The
City Council is expected to decree
a special election on the issue with
in month.
The Council, which acts also as
school board, has approved salaries
ranging from s2,400 to $500 an
nually effective January /, with the
maximum to rise to $4,000 Septem-
ber /. Current salary schedule is
from 81, 300 to $2.600.
The teachers also had asked for
s1,70o,000 school improvement
fund, but compromised for the
81 200 900 the Council voted. In ad-
dition to the s18 per capita fol
schools. the amendment calls for
s24 per capita limit on other city
expenditures. Previously, all munic.
ipal expenses had been limited tc
fat $50 per capita.
The teachers manned picket lines
about all of the schools despite tenn
peratures which at times hovereo
close to zero. AS the strike became
10 days old, high school seniors
marched upon the courthouse to
point out that they would not get in
enough classroom time to graduate.
The Council, pleading that the
$50 limitation held it powerless, al
though it sympathized with the in
structors' demands, enacted an
ordinance meeting them and the
Friday Charter Commission action
provided the funds, assuming votei
approval.

Allen Is Expected
Ito Return 10 Role
|0f Unofficial Adviser

George E. Allen, perennial target
of anti-administration forces, was
outside the Truman official family
today, and the Capital speculated
on his future.
In some quarters close to the
President it was felt that Mr.. Allen,
who resigned yesterday as director
of the Reconstruction Finance Corp,
would return to the unofficial ad-
yisory role he occupied at the White
House before his formal connection
with the Government. Mr.. Allen
did not foreclose the possibility of
other assignments, in conversation
with reporters after the resignation
was announced.
The resignation. which came as a
surprise, was explained officially as
conforming to an understanding be-
tween the Presidnt and Mr.. Allen
when the former insurance executive
was appointed to the vast lending
agency a year ago. Although the
appointment, bitterly fought in the
Senate. was for a two-year term
| the exchange of correspondence be-
tween the two men in connection
with the resignation, referred to the
fact that Mr. Allen intended from
the outset to hold Office only year
Services Still Available.
Other sources said that motivat-
ing factors were financial consider
ations and Mr. Aliens reluctance to
figure in any more controversies
such as that recently stirred when
he refused to approve RFC loans
sought by former Housing Expediter
Wilson Wyatt
In stepping out Mr.. Allen told the
President he would continue to be
available for any service which ]
can render you" Mr.. Truman re-
piled that Il shall feel free, as the
occasion may arise, to call upon you
for counsel"
Mr. Aliens visits to the White
House had become infrequent dur
ing the past few months, a develop
ment attributed to the necessity OF
spending more and more time at his
official post. Until the RFC ap-
pointment, he was a regular par
ticipant in the 9 am. White House
staff conferences, in which impor-
tant decisions are made.
Gives Blueprint to President.
AS Mr.. Allen resigned he handed
President Truman a blueprint for
seeking a new lease of life for the
RFC from the Republican Congress
The RFC will expire June 80 un-
| less Congress continues it, and some
Republicans have opposed contin-
uance even though the agency origi-
mated with the Hoover administra-
ton.
| Mr.. Aliens blueprint, drafted by
him and the other directors, would
lop off the RIGS authority to make
stabilization loans to foreign coun-
tries, to supply funds for the Export
Import Bank and other obsolete
emergency functions
| The RIGS broad powers to make
business and other loans would be
continued, however, and its major
subsidiary, the United States Com
mercial Co., would be extended. The
company now is working to restore
the foreign trade of Germany ano
Japan with the object of reducing
OCCUPATION costs.
