TEACHERS PRAISE
BARKER EFFORTS
Continued From Page One)

House proceedings were delayed
while he and other like-minded leg.
islators scrubbed out the Barker
amendment proposing a 30 per cent
salary increase for teachers and
other state employees making ST.,
200 Or less and a Is per cent in
crease for those in all other brac-
kets except those making from ST.
701 to $4,000, who would get a flat
"a Sc of $45 monthly. The rates
would be effective for the remain
der of the b.ennium ending June 80,
when the new regular appropriation
bill would go into effect.
The battle has dragged along for
nearly two weeks, with the House
adamantly standing by its adop-
ton Of the Barker amendment.
And wires have been kept hot by
exhortations urging all the legisla-
tors to back the higher pay scale.
Employees Quiet
State employees other than teach
ers have not been vocal. They
knew they are riding to higher pay
on the teachers bandWagon, and
they're keeping quiet.
But from every corner Of the
state, the teachers and their
friends have been sending an avail
anche of letters and kilograms urg-
ing the assembly men to write the
Barker amendment into law.
A look at the scores of messages
received by Barker reveals vividly
how intense the teachers and their
friends feel about the salary strug-
gle.
From Southern Pines: II can
truthfully say that you are person
ally saving the schools of North
Carolina from a complete break
down $50. you are of a great sta
ture in championing the rights Of
the public who demanded that the
teachers be paid more than the
governors 20 per cent. He is max
ing a tragic mistake. You are right,
and we will always remember you
and your valiant fight"
All Not Lost
Several teachers sent their salary
voucher stubs to back up their
claim for more adequate pay. Said
one in Harnett county: II have
taught school for II years. On a
12-month basis, which is the length
Of time I have to pay my way, l
receive $115.25 a month. No paid
vacation, no sick leave. In fact,
We pay 81 a day if We should be
sick"
A Southport teacher wrote: "Hav-
ing taught school more than 80
years, the monster of retirement
looms not far ahead. Before many
years it will not matter greatly to
me what they pay but / think
l shall return to haunt legislators
who complacently store away in the
vaults SO millions of dollars in ad-
dit;on to anti-depressior backlog of

TALMADCE FORCES
SPLIT in HOUSE
Legislative Appointed Gov.
ernor Suffers First
Sound Defeat

ATLANTA, Jan. %. -F- Her
man Talmadge's legislative forces
went down to defeat for the first
time in the nine day old session
today as new pressure was applied
for a speedy court ruling on wheth-
er he or Lieut.. Gov. M. E. Thomp
son is the real governor of Georgia
The Talmadge House bloc, which
a week ago rolled up a 1877 to &c
vote for him as governor, split wide
open in the face of a winning drive
to delay action on its No. l plank
- the white primary. Rep. j. Rob-
ert Elliott, Talmadge leader, sought
vigorously to bring the measure up
for action tomorrow but gave in
when his support waned.
Commenting on the House deve.
lopments, Thompson said Il don't
think the House is going to be die
tated to much longer by an ex-
speaker" He said his reference
was to former speaker Roy V. Har-
ris, high in the Talmadge councils.
Both Talmadge and Thompson
favored legislation for a white pri-
mary. Rep. Walter Harrison,
Thompson supporter arguing for
delay, said, however, that IT am
for a white urinary but / want to
know what kind of white primary 1t
is. l don't want it crammed down
my throat without a public hear
ing"
Il want to know whether it is the
Huey Long kind in Louisiana or
whether it will protect my people
in jenkins county," Harrison said,
asserting that members had not
been given time to read and study
the lengthy Talmadge measure.
Not risking a test vote, Elliott
himself finally asked - and re-
ceived unanimous consent to de.
lay action until Monday. Thompson
hackers hailed the House stand
as "open rebellion" against its
Talmadge leaders.
They likewise were jubiIant at
Senate action in baking twice on
proposals backed by Talmadge sup
porters. The first was refusal by
a 27-27 tie vote. in which presiding
officer William T. Dean ruled him
self eligible and participated, to ex-
punge Thompson's oath as acting
governor from its journal.
Action DELAYED
Then behind closed doors, the
Senators. who earlier confirmed
three Talmadge appointments de-
layed action on another sealed
message from him, the usual form
for transmitting appointments,
President Protein Dean informed
reporters nothing was considered'
and the message would be taken
up again Monday in executive SEES
sion.
Before the legislature sharp
shooting began, anti-Talmadge At
torney General Eugene Cook Chal-
lenged the gubernatorial claimant
to a quick court test. Cook said
Talmadge could put the issue be-
fore the State Supreme court with
in 20 days if he would instruct a
solicitor general appointee to bring
custer proceedings against a rival
claimant named by Gov. Arnall
before he resigned in favor OF
Thompson.
Talmadge's only immediate COM
ment was that II am Informed by
the press that Mr.. Cook does not
represent me-"
