Politics
 -In- Passing

ft remains to be seen whether or not Watefbury's proposed budget for ip4T will provide the fireworks that have occurred elsewhere through out the nation this year when new budgets were being prepared. Even here in Connecticut b,ldget.makers have had their troubles this past year in making plans for a new fiscal period. Waterbury In compari- son Co what has happened in these other cities and towns seems Go be a bit more fortunate. 1t is recon. mendlng a one mill tax increase, it has undergone 0 radical rcvaluation, 1t is adopting the teachers single salary schedule: it is advocating a general 10 percent salary and wage increase, leyeled off at a $500 maxi. mum. One line in Q recent public officials paper the Municipal r- nance News Letter, Is enlightening It says, some cities have boosted tax rates or assessments or both .a' Then follows a list of we'll known cities where boosts in expen- ditures are causing considerable consternation among city fathers.
 Recognition of the single sal- ary schedule for teachers in Wa
 teFbury is @ notable advance ln
 the relationships between city
 government and the teaching pro-
 fessiOn. In brief the plan simply
 recognizes the fact that teach
 CT, whether he or she instructs
 in grammar grades, junior high
 Or senior high school, Is entitled
 Co the same recognition if training
 has been the same. An example k
 as follows--A holder Of a bache-
 Ior's or a masters degree teach
 in grammar grades, perhaps, is
 rated the same as one teaching
 in high school. It Is a recogni-
 tion of skill and Is certainly conn
 parable to craft uniOniIation, in
 which the member progresses
 through various degrees, such as
 apprenticeship. journeyman, and
 full.fledged operator That's where
 the A. r. of L. unions draw their
 strength In the crafts, which, or
 course, date back to the medieval
 guilds.

The US Supreme Court is ask
ed to declare state laws providing

by the American Civil Liberties
Union supporting the appeal Of
Irene Morgan, scheduled for
hearing March T. M iss Morgan
is appealing through the NAACP
against a decision Of the Virginia
Supreme Court last year uphold
ing her conviction under a state
law providing racial segregation
on buses. The ACLU is asking
the Supreme Court to abandon as
unconstitutional its traditional
ruling that segregation is legal
SO long as there is no difference in
the Accommodations provided for
the two races.
On the brief for tneACLU arc
Gregory Hannekin, former Pub
District of Columbia; Victor Rot
mem, former Chief Civil Rights
Section of the US Department of
Justice; and Arthur Garfield Havs
and Osmond K. Fraekel, counsel
for the ACLU.
The brief points out that discri-
mination is outlawedb Y the 18th
Amendment to the Constitution,
and advances the novel argument
that segregation itself is a form of
discrimination regardless of the
Accommodations provided. 1t points
out that the terms white and
colored are used by many per
sons as terms of value, having
the same meaning as superior
and inferior, and therefore when
there is segregation members Of
the colored race are exposed to
abuse and humiliation.
Segregation is the very thing
