Most Maryland
Schools Expect
ToAdd Teachers
Superintendents Soy
They'll Fill Quotes
First Time Since War
BY the A.seciafsd Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. 12.-The State
Department of Education announced
today that reports from county
school superintendents indicate they
will be able to fill all teaching posi-
tions for the first time since before
the war.
The reports attributed the avail
ability Of teachers to increased nav
scales by the 1947 General Assembly
The minimum for teachers witt, de-
grees was raised $400 to $4,000 q
year.
The superintendents said the sup
ply of instructors with degrees
would enable the counties to dis
pense with many teachers holding
emergency wartime certificates.
Stats to Be Increased.
In addition to filling vacancies
that have existed for years, most
counties will be able to increase their
stats.
Montgomery County's teacher sit
uation has vastly improved" since
last year, the school superintendent's
Office said. That county does not
limit salaries to the Statewide
teacher pay scale, but uses the scale
for comparison to insure that Mont
gomery County teachers are not paid
less than in other areas, the Office
said.
So great has been the number of
applications, the Office announced,
that a much wider selection now is
possible than has existed heretofore.
During the summer vacancies for IS
high school and rs elementary school
positions were filed.
The vacancies were due principal
ly to an expanded system, it was
said.
The Montgomery County scales
were listed as $4,000 to $4,000 a year,
compared with $1,700 to $500 for
merly paid teachers without college
degrees; $4,000 to $4,000 annually,
compared with $1,000 to $4,000 for
those with bachelors degrees, and
$2,700 to $500, compared with ST.
100 to 81 800 for those with masters
degrees.
Prince Georges Plans.
In Prince Georges County, w. S.
Schmidt, director of instruction, re-
ported total of % vacancies to be
filled in the county's 735 teaching
positions. He said there are four
vacancies in the high schools, one
in the junior high schools and IS
in the elementary schools.
1--WE expect to fill all these by the
opening of school," Mr.. Schmidt
said, however, in the elementary
schools it is very difficult to find
people who can qualify for the
teaching positions" e-.sss
Mr.. Schmidt said that the short
age of qualified elementary school
teachers results from the failure of
students to enter teacher training
courses a few years ago.
Supt. David Jenkins Of Anne
Arundel County reported he had
only three vacancies in elementary
schools, four in Junior high and
four in senior high. He said about
IS existed when the last term ended
in June.
In our 480 positions, we will not
have single vacancy when school
resumes" he predicted.

Mr.. Mccarthy said, however. that
Army engineers and other "compe-
tent authorities had denied that
this was true.
AT the same time Mr.. Mccarthy
declared a private water COMPANY

Burns N. Gibson, member of ths

Drawing Today 10 Pick
Winner Of Tie Contest
In Fairfax Primary
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 12.-The
winner of Fairfax County's scram-
bled House of Delegates primary
race will be determined by lot here
at 3 o'clock this afternoon accord
ing to law"
Levin Mock Davis, secretary of the
State Board of Elections, said off,
cial notification of the boards plan
for the drawing went out yesterday
to Delegate Edwin Lynch and former
Delegate Robert j. McCandlish
whose campaign for the Fairfax
nomination to the House resulted in
a 1858 tie vote.
Mr.. Davis said the manner in
which the drawing will be conducted
has not been decided.
The State election laws provide
that reasonable notice" be given
the candidates of plans to resolve
election ties by lot, but the statutes
do not require the attendance of the
principals. However, Mr.. Davis said
he hoped both Mr.. Lynch and Mr..
McCandlish would attend because
he would "like their views" on the
manner in which the drawing should
take place. Mr.. Lynch indicated he
would be present but Mr.. Nc
Candlish said he did not plan to
attend.
Board Has Responsibility.
The laws apparently place full re-
sponsibility of conducting the draw
ing in the hands of the board.
MIR. Davis. said he was not ready
to say whether the name of the
lucky candidate would be placed on
the official November election bal
lots as the Democratic nominee.
What I'm going to do right now, "
he declared 'fs conduct the lottery
according to law and afterward we'll
see what comes next"
Attorney General A. P. Staples
confirmed the drawing as the lawful
way to determine the winner. He
declared, however, he could not say
what effect a pending Fairfax Cir
cult Court test of the vote will have.
Recount Petition Filed.
On Friday, Mr.. McCandlish filed
his petition for recount in the
Fairfax Circuit Court. Over the
week end, counsel for Mr.. Lynch
entered an appearance for him, and
indicated that an answer would be
filed in which he also would claim
victory and ask a recount.
Thomas P. Chapman, jr., clerk of
the court, said he has asked the Vir-
ginia Supreme Court of Appeals to
designate two judges to sit with
Fairfax Judge Paul E. Brown to con-
slider the matter.
The State Board of Elections also
waited for a decision from Mr.
Staples on an issue which may af-
feet the candidacy of Republican
Senator Ted Dalton.
The ruling has been sought on a
provision of the War Powers Act
that all party nominations must be
made and completed by the first
Tuesday in August.
Senator Dalton was nominated by
a district convention last Saturday
four days after the deadline. An
ticipating nomination, however, he
had observed the law by filing pre-
viously as an independent. The
question to be decided by the attor-
ney. general is whether he is to be
certified as a Republican or as az
independent.
