Only II veterans who made down
payments on homes with George H.
Williams, bankrupt real estate man,
have contracted for any Of the ITS
homes offered them at discount by
Washington area builders, it was
learned today. ~
All II contracts have been made
by two builders, according to a
check of the real estate companies.
Earlier, in survey conducted by
the Veterans Service Center, only
four of the IS Williams creditors
who replied said they had signed
contracts under the discount plan.
The 65 had answered question
naires sent to about 100 of the vet
Grams last week by Waldron E.
Leonard, director of the center. The
reduced-cost homes were offered
through plan sponsored by the
Home Building Association OF the
Metropolitan Area.
A number of the former GIs said
they would not be able to partici-
pate in the program, either because
the homes are too far from the
District or because there will be too
long a wait before they are ready
for occupancy.

ONLY II of Williams Clients
Sian for Homes With Discount

A few said they were able to az
ford only homes costing $1,000 or
$1,000. To this, builders pointed
out that most of the veterans had
contracted with Williams for $4,000
homes.
One of the former GIs suggest
ed another meeting be held to
"straighten out the financial situ-
alton" He said that several homes
he saw could not be bought by
half the veterans because the pay
ments are too high"
Twelve of the veterans, however
said they were well satisfied with
homes they had seen and were
anxious to sign contracts as soor
as the builders were ready. About
II others said they were still def.
nitely interested in the homes Of
fered.
But IS bluntly said their only In
terest is in getting back some of the
$500 to $1,000 they deposited with
williams.
A check Of the 10 builders Offering
homes revealed only four are def
nitely ready to talk business with
the veterans. s.-

Montgomery Official
Says County Should
Raise Tax Rate 10 81

Montgomery County's tax rate
should be raised from $1.50 to 81
this year, I. G. McNayr, county
supervisor, has recommended.
Mr.. McNayr disclosed his views
at meeting of the Damascus Lions
Club last night. The supervisor
pointed out that the county has
a bonded Indebtedness of $13 ,O00, ,000
During the past eight years." he
said, nothing has been done toward
the payment of the principal or the
interest. The interest has been met
by refunding.
1.-THE county is not in a sound
financial shape. 1t has been down.
graded by Moody's municipal f1nan-
cial report from A to B. In other
words, the county is not considered
as good financial risk as it should
be-"
Mr.. McNayr mentioned three al
ternatives.
The debt can be refunded again.
The $1.50 tax rate can be raised
by so cents, and thus the interest
can not only be paid, but one-twen-
tieth of the debt retired-or the rate
could be raised by some other
amount.
The Indebtedness could be cut
down by "other means of raising rev.
enue," such as a sales tax.

Washington's big hospital center
Is likely to be compact-one big hos
pital rather than three hospitals
under one roof.
Instead of the various departments
of Episcopal, Garfield and Emer-
gency Hospitals being housed sep
arately, there would be combined
clinics, stats, operating rooms and
wards.
Living quarters for student nurses,
interns and residents and perhaps
so per cent of the graduate nurses,
may also be provided. Parking space
on the hospital grounds for 1000
cars is sought.
These general ideas about the
1,5O0-bed, $20,000,000 center which
Congress has approved for the Ma
tion's Capital on a share-the-cost
basis, came out of the first meeting
of a special site and design COM
mittee late yesterday.
Reynolds Called Meeting.
The meeting was held at the re-
quest of Public Buildings Commits
sioner w. E. Reynolds, who is re-
sponsible for designing and building
the hospital center. The 194S budget
calls for 2,750, 900 to buy land and
draw plans for the building.
Before he can go ahead with 1t,
however, Mr.. Reynolds wants to
know what the center's three hos
pitals need. He has asked the COM
mittee to give him the answer

a teacher to reach the maximum in

ent 1t varies several years in some

sioner.
Heard Bystanders' Comments.
Under cross examination by As
sistant Corporation Counsel Robert
D. Wise, 1t. Rafferty, admitted she
heard bystanders remark that the
commissioner was drunk. She ex-
planned, however, her only purpose
in visiting the car was to ascertain
whether the commissioner was in
jured.

field place NV, also a registered
nurse, told the court Mr.. Turnage
was "dazed," but not drunk when
she spoke to him "a few minutes"
after the crash.

fed the commissioner was not

A summary Of the main features
Of the new teachers pay proposals.
scheduled to be recommended to-
day by DR.. Hobart M. Corning,
school superintendent, follows:
The fiat $700 raise proposed would
be $3.50 more than the temporary
increase granted by Congress which
expires on July /.
Overhauling of the pay schedule
would result in a single salary
schedule for 1920 teachers in which
salaries would be. increased about ~
per cent over 1945 levels. For 211
school officers, the increase would
run from per cent to 13 per cent
over 1945 salaries.
The plan would add the $700 to
the base pay under the 1945 sched-
ule, which does not include the $3.50
temporary increase. With this new
salary figure, the teachers and Off
GERS would be placed in their appro-
pirate place in the proposed pay
schedule and carry on there with
their regular yearly raises up the
scale.
Would Get $500 Minimum.
Under the proposed pay schedule,
the teachers holding bachelors
degree would receive a minimum of
$2,500, as compared to $1,000 now.
and maximum of $500, as COM
pared to $4,000. If they have a
masters degree, the minimum would
be $1,000, as compared to 81, 100, and
the maximum $4,000, as compared
to $500.
When these maximums have been
reached, the teachers are eligible for
promotion into "supermaximum"
bracket.
At present, to advance into this
bracket teachers must take written
examination, have records and
qualifications reviewed and then be
placed on list of eligibles. How
ever, only about 10 per cent of that
list can be promoted to the super
maximum" because Of numerical
quota.
Urges End of Written Examination.
DR.. Corning recommended the
abolition of the written examina-
ton and the numerical quota and
asked for promotion based upon
credential evidence of growth in
service and teaching record.
This will open to more teachers
promotions into the "supermaxi-
mum" brackets, which means a
minimum of $500 as compared to
S., 900 If they have a bachelors de-
gree and a maximum of $4,000 as
compared to $4,000. With a mas
ter's degree, the minimum would be
81 300 as compared to $3,400 and a
maximum of $4,700 as compared to
$3,700.

Fields Contempt Trial
OPENS in District Court

A District Court jury was sworn
in late this morning to try Ben
jamin Franklin Fields, Washington
public relations man, charged with
willfully falling to produce records
before the House Surplus Property
Committee. The committee was in
curing into a surplus transaction
in which Fields figured.
The trial, thrice postponed, got
under way before Justice Alexander
Holtzoff. On the jury were II men
and one woman.
Assistant United States Attorney
William Hitz in his opening state
ment told the jurors Fields failed
to produce the documents before
the committee three or four times
This, he said, makes him in con-
tempt of the House Committee, as
we'll as in contempt of Congress.
Mr.. Hitz related that $50 rolls of
bronze screening, then scarce in the
civilian market, were obtained from
the War Assets Administration and
sold to the War; Built Homes of
Oklahoma City.
Mr.. Hitz declared that in the be-
ginning, Fields put in an order
through the Philadelphia Office of
WAA for the entire 100000 rolls of
bronze screening. This was the
total declared surplus by the Army
at that time. Fields was negotiat-
ing with a New York firm for sale
of the entire amount, but the deal
fell through, Mr.. Hitz said. The
wire involved was in Richmond
(Va) warehouse.
Originally, the trial was due to
start November 20, but was post
poned on December 4 and January
13. Fields was indicted by the Dis
trict grand jury September 30.
