County's Request
For Property Tronsfe,
Unanswered by WAA

Homeowners and businessmen
along Fort Myer drive in Arlington
County today were up in arms
against the War Assets Administra.
tons proposal to sell the road as
surplus property.
The present period of advertising
the property for sale is known al
the priority period, during which
Government agencies. the Recon
struction Finance Corp, State ano
local government units and nonprofit
institutions will have priority in that
order.
If none of these buy it, the road is
of1ered to private bidders.
So far there have been no bidders
Tor the road, which extends for al
most a mile from the noreast exit
OF Fort Myer to North Nineteenth
street.
No Answer on Transfer.
Leo Lloyd, member of the
county board, said the board hac
voted two weeks ago to ask WAA tc
transfer the road to the county. He
said today that as far as he knows
the county has received no answer
Fort Myer officials said they de-
clared the road surplus about a
month ago and that it was taken
over by WAA. They expressed the
opinion that the notice of sale was
Just a formality" and that it would
be taken over by the county.
Some of the approximately 80
nome owners affected pointed out
that they would have no other way
OF entering their homes if the road
was sold.
Would Cross Creek.
Mrs. Julianne I. Ayers, 1902 Fort
Myer drive, said, I'VE would have to
cross a creek in order to get in the
rear Of our house"
She was supported by Mrs. Laura
Rodgers, 1406 Fort Myer drive. who
explained that those living in houses
along the road would be forced to
cross private property, fences and
lawns in order to enter the rear of
their homes.
Arthur cinnamon, part-owner o1

whole thing is ridiculous

other than the county," Mr.. Zinna.

Fairfax Mothers
Volunteer Aid as
County Teachers
Substitutes Help
Keep Closes Open
In Elementary Schools

Faced with the threat Of closed
classrooms in several Fairfax County
elementary schools because of
lack of teachers, many mothers
are filling in" as substitutes until
regular instructors can be obtained,
it was learned today.
All nearby Virginia schools opened
yesterday, with the exception of
senior high schools in Arlington
County, which resumed classes
today.
Fairfax County Supt. Of Schools
w. T. Woodson disclosed that 339
teachers have been obtained so far,
81 short Of the 800 he feels are
necessary.
Substitutes Obtained.
He emphasized, however, that this
did not mean 81 classrooms would
be closed until the vacancies could
be filled. Substitute teachers are
filling many of the gaps and other
classes are being taught tempo
rarily by teachers not yet under
contract, he explained.
Some Of the latter, he pointed
out, are mothers Of small children.
They have volunteered to alleviate
the present teacher shortage.
Last years enrolment was 10.466,
MIR. Woodson estimated this years
total would reach 10000. No figures
will be tabulated, however, until
early next week, when reports from
the various school principals will be
received.
Pay Scale Is Low.
Teachers salaries have been raised
in Virginia since last year, Mr..
Woodson said, but remain low in re-
lation to other professions. Pay
scales for instructors with bachelor
of arts degree have been increased
from a range of $3.50 to 81 900 to
a 81 500 minimum and 81, 300 maxi
mum.
Holders of master of arts degrees
are eligible for salaries ranging from
ZOO to s2,400 while those having
local teaching permits, without a
college education, receive from 81 300
to $4,000, the superintendent said.
Salaries are not the whole trouble.
however" Mr.. Woodson asserted.
There is definite scarcity of
qualified teachers
In the colored schools, he reported,
no difficulty has been encountered in
obtaining instructors.
Classroom Space Is Short.
While the greatest immediate need
is for additional white teachers.
there also is shortage of classroom
space in some schools, he declared.
Last year it was necessary to i'm
provise classroom space at the
Lincolnia Elementary School by
teaching in the library and au-
ditorium.
County Parent Teacher Associa-
ton officials declare that the teacher
shortage cannot be met until teach.
ers are paid salaries comparable to
those in Arlington and Alexandria.
Mrs. Mark Regan, president of the
association, said:
1T is UP to the citizens of Fairfax
County to request their board of
supervisors to allocate immediately
additional funds to the School Board
to increase teachers salaries to the
levels existing in Arlington County
and Alexandria "
