A Representative of another re.
finery said housewives were "ratior
broke" and that the solution was the
granting of increased rations.
From an industry source came 8
theory that housewives were waiting
for a drop in sugar prices before

But chances Of any price decrease
were considered slim.
A Government source disclosed
that the backing up of supplies was
not confined to Washington, but was

Stores Report Plenty Of Sugar,
With Housewives Ration Broke

In contrast to the situation a few
months ago, sugar stocks are accu.
mulating in many retail stores here
a survey disclosed today.
Retailers and representatives o1
refineries attribute the situation te
the belief that many housewives
have spent their entire family sugar
rations for the current three
months.
They explain that when the new
ration stamp became good January
/, there was a rush to buy up stocks
of sugar which were just beginning
to flow into the city in substantial
quantities for the first time In
months.
Meanwhile, sugar continued to
move into stores from wholesalers
and refineries but at the same time
sales slowed down as the, early jan
uary rush suhsided.
Consumers can expect no new
sugar stamp until April. Stamp So
in ration book 4 became valid jan
uary / and is good for pounds.
It is scheduled to expire April 80.
In the past, OPA has made new
stamp available at the end Of a
three-month period and permitted
the current stamp to continue an
other month.
An OPA source said today that
officials have not decided when a
new stamp will become valid or
what will be its value.
Secretary Of Agriculture Anderson
announced last month that con-
sumner rations may be increased by
S pounds by April l, barring un-
predictable disasters" Since then
officials have indicated consumer
sugar rations for the year would be
raised by 10 pounds. This would
include the 5 pounds promised by
Mr.. Anderson this spring.
The washington representative Of.
q national sugar refinery reported
that even some wholesalers were be-
coming overstocked.

Board 10 Act
On Teacher Pay
Program Today
Corning's Proposals
Virtually Unchanged
In Committee Review:

School Superintendent Hobart M.
Corning's proposed teachers pay
raise plan goes before the Board of
Education today virtually unchanged
after two public hearings and
scrutiny by two board committees.
The request of the Districts high
school physical education teachers
that they receive extra pay was
turned down by the Boards Legis-
lative and Personnel Committees
yesterday during a meeting with
DR.. Corning and other school Of
f1cials.
Only change made In the original
proposals by the committees was
in the proposed status of the vo-
cational high school principals.
Pay Level Reduced.
The committee will recommend
to the board that the vocational
high school principals be reduced
to the pay level of junior high
school principals, as they were before
1945. The 1945 pay bill placed them
in the same salary scale as senior
high school principals, and the orr
ginal proposal by DR.. Corning also
had them in this category.
At a public hearing Saturday,
representatives of the group asked
to have their status reduced to
eliminate friction in the school
system caused by the elevation.
DR.. Corning's proposals call for
a fiat $500 raise-$250 more than
teachers now are getting under
$3.50 temporary raise granted by
Congress and due to expire on July
l. The Corning program also calls
for a complete overhaul and boost
ing of the present permanent pay
schedule.
Speaking of the plea of the high
school coaches, DR.. Corning said
they had a very definite complaint"
In addition to their regular class
schedules, they spend three to four
hours each day coaching athletic
teams.
Change in Hours Proposed.
He recommended, however, an ad-
justment of hours rather than
wages, and the committees turned
down the coaches request with the
understanding that adjustments
would be attempted by school OFF,
cials.
Actually, the hours of every
teacher should be adjusted so they
will be carrying only reasonable
load Of after hours work." DR.. Corn
ing commented.
Also turned down by the commits
tees, headed by Adelbert w. Lee and
DR.. Robert A. Maurer, were the
following requests made at the Sat-
urday hearing:
l. That salary for beginning
teachers be set at $500 instead Of
the recommended $4,000.
3. That yearly increases be set at
5000 until the maximum salary Is
reached, rather than the recon-
mended 500 yearly increase.
To Commissioners Thursday.
8. That attendance officers have
chance to advance into the same
high maximums provided for teach
ers with masters degrees.
4. That department heads be
placed in the same bracket with
directors.
S. That recognition of a doctors
degree be set up by further in
creases in the maximum teachers
salary from the recommended "a, ZOO
to $500.
After the Board of Education takes
action today, the amended pro-
posals will go to the Commissioners
Thursday and then to the House
and Senate District Committees on
Friday

A hush fell sharply over the audi
ence as the conductor raised his
baton. The spectators leaned for-
ward expectantly. As the opening
measures of Gluck's "Alceste" over

At Armstrong High School last

Members of the orchestra have
come to expect 1t. They unblush-
ingly admit they revel in it.
Said Concertmaster Jan TomasoW
at the close of the sixth Neighbor-

to desire. Here Is enthusiasm real
and strong. It's more than a pleas
ure to come before a public so heart
felt in It's musical interest,""
Stimulating Response.
And Assistant Conductor Howard
Mitchell, who led last nights pro-
gram: Response like this is aston
ishing, stimulating, and I can't get
over it. We all feel that way"
This audience, over which the
musicians were babbling delightedly
at the sixth performance, repre-
sented the customary community in
cross-section.

liam Pickens of 400 T street NV.

A 14-year-old boy and his father

son for being in the audience?
We're both just crazy about
music" said the father, Theopholus
Houston, of 2917 Thirteenth street

orchestra to enjoy it most"
