Plea 10 Dismiss Suit
Attacking Subyersive
Group List Weighed

District Court Judge Matthew F.
Mcclure today had under advise
ment a motion to dismiss suit
brought by the international
Workers Order, Inc, and an in
dividual member, attacking the
orders inclusion on the Attorney
Generals subversive list.
The suit, in which Arthur
Lowndes Drayton, a Philadelphia
postal clerk, joins the order. asks
the court to declare unconstitu-
tional the Attorney Generals 1947
designation of some 80 organiza-
tions as subversive.
Would Bar Dismissal.
1t also asks that Mr.. Clark and
the members of the Federal Loyal
ty Review Board and the Post
Office Loyalty Board be directed
to remove the name of the order
from the list and be restrained
from dismissing Mr.. Drayton from
his position because of his men,
bership in the order.
Attorney Lee PreSsman, arguing
for the organization. declared the
group was given no hearing in
regard to its inclusion on the list
This factor, he contended. formed
the basic issue in the plaintiff S
claim of unconstitutionality.
The organization. described as a
fraternal benefit society, whose
applicants for membership are
entitled to apply for up to $1,000
worth of life insurance without
medical examination, has suffered
withdrawal by many members, and
valuable property interests are in
jeopardy, according to the COM
plant.
Hearing Rights Cited.
Respecting Mr.. Drayton, whose
loyalty, the complaint said, has
been questioned by the Post Office
Loyalty Board because of his mem
berShip in the order. United States
Attorney George Morris Fay
argued that membership in. an
organization on the subversive list
may constitute only part of the
evidence.
Mr.. Fay declared there has been
no showing that such membership
in itself is cause for dismissal and
an employe is entitled to a hearing
before his agency board.

House Unit Fails
To Decide on
Teacher. Pay
Other subcommittee
To Join Discussions
Before Fixing Raise
By Don S. Warren

The question of how large a
cost-of living pay raise should be
granted Washington school teach
ers was reopened today by mem
bers of the Fiscal Subcommittee
of the House District Committee.
but no decision was reached.
The main issue is whether to
hold the pay raise to the 5000
recommended recently by three
subcommittee of the House Dis
trict Committee or to give them
the $3.50 increase proposed for city
classified workers.
The level of the raise for classi-
fled workers was set to match the
increase granted Federal classified
workers last July /.
Chairman Smith of the Fiscal
subcommittee said no decision
would be taken until the question
has been put before the two other
subcommittee - Education and
Public Service-or before the full
House District Committee at its
next meeting.
Smith Holds Conference.
Mr.. Smith this morning con-
ferred with Representative Bates
of Massachusetts, ranking Repub-
lican member of the fiscal unit;
Chairman Abernethy of the Edu-
cation subcommittee, and DR..
Hobart M. Corning, school super
Iintendent.
If the teacher pay raise is put at
$3.50 instead of 5000, it is esti-
mated the extra cost to the city
would approximate $500,000.
Mr.. Bates several days ago sug-
gested change, to reduce to 10
years the 15-year period of auto
matte increases for teachers, from
entrance pay to maximum salary.
This would give them an annual
stepup of $3.50 instead of $100.
The revival yesterday of con-
sideration of a fiat $500 pay boost
for teachers seemed to indicate
that proposals for shortened
period of increment" would be
abandoned for the present.
Bates CriticiZes Bill.
Data before, the fiscal subcom-
mittee indicated that a $3.50 pay
raise would bring the average pay
of Washington teachers from 18th
to 10th place among 20 of the
larger cities.
Mr.. Bates said it would bring
the minimum pay for teachers
with bachelor degrees from ninth
to second place, and the maxi
mum for such teachers from 18th
=. to 14th place.
5 AS to teachers with masters
degrees, he said, the $3.50 pay
. raise would lift the Districts min
: imum pay from third to top place
! among the 20 cities and raise the
maximum from 18th to 9Th
place.
Mr.. Bates said that, while the
1947 District Teacher Pay Act was
a good bill" as to salary levels. it
was quite apparent that the bulk
of the teachers, still below the
latest maximum pay levels had
not been benefited to the extent
of the rise in the cost of living"
Evening star., 1949-02-24

basic necessities Of life are con-
cerned.
! Recently call went out from
the District Board of Public We'll
fare to the local branch of the
United States Employment Serv-
ice. The sense of the conversation
was this: I'VE can do nothing
for the people you have been
sending to us for unemployment
relief, and it will be futile to send
any more of them"
| Welfare Board officials explain
the reasons for this. They are
legally permitted Gin fact they
are legally responsible) to give
relief aid to employable persons
who are out of a job, but they
don't have nearly enough money
to do it.
With the funds allotted to them,
the board is able to give help to
the aged, the blind and dependent
children (for whom the Federal
Government foots some of the
bill), and to unemployable resi-
dents whose relatives are unable
to support them.
Below Subsistence Level.
Even the help that can be giyer
to these people is below the sub.
sistence level, according to boare
officials. The payments are basec
on the cost of living in 1946, ant
an additional. z per cent cut in al
benefits has been necessary tx
make ends meet.
If they had to help employable
persons as we'll, another arbitrary
cut would have to be made; anc
that, the officials say, just isn't
feasible. So the board has made
an administrative regulation that
no employable unemployed are
eligible for public assistance. They
are not happy about it, but they
can find no alternative under
their present budgets.
How about the private relief
agencies? The proportionate role
the various relief agencies in
Washington play in the total pub
lie welfare picture can best be
Illustrated, perhaps, by the money
they must spend.
So far as direct financial relief
is concerned, the budget for the
agencies in the Washington Com
munity Chest Association that
offer such relief was $9l.108 for
the first eight months Of 1948.
In the same period, the Board OF
Public Welfare was spending
about $500, 900 each month for the
same thing.
Negligible Financial Aid.
These private agencies provide
only temporary emergency aid to
a few people and more or less per-
manent aid to an even smaller
group. The fact that their part
in the relief program is described
as negligible by Government Off
cials is nothing against them. Di-
rect financial aid is not their re-
sponsibility.
IF there is anything that has
been established in the last 80
years." says Arthur Kruse, direc-
tor of the United Community
Services, "it is that the family OF
an unemployed man is entitled to
public assistance.
so far as the private agencies
are concerned, their function
should be to supplement the work
of the public relief agencies by
working to prevent people from
becoming public responsibilities
It is unfortunate that some OF
the private agencies have had 70
enter the field of direct financial
relief to stop up the gaps in the
public machinery.

Truman Plans Message
On Health Insurance
By the Assoeiofed Press

President Truman said today he
will renew his advocacy of COM
pulsory health insurance in a
special message to Congress with
in the next several weeks.
He told a news conference he
expects to send a message to the
Capitol embracing his whole ma
tional health program.
He would not go into details
Nor would he say whether he may
recommend returning unemploy-
ment compensation administra-
ton control to the States in an
other message.
Evening star., 1949-02-24

There is no provision whatever,
either out of their funds or in
the purpose for which the funds
were raised for the private agen-
cies to carry the basic RESPONSE
bility for unemployed people"
To be sure, a large number
of Washington workers can get
relief under the Unemployment
Compensation Act. More than
100000 persons are covered by the
act in the District. If they lose
their jobs and have made more
than $3.50 in the year before, they
may qualify for benefits.
S4OO Limit in Year.
The maximum benefit, how
ever, for a man who has earned
$3.50. in the last year is $6 a
week. The maximum compensa-
ton in any case is $40 a week,
with a limit of $500 for the bene-
fit year.
Excluded from benefits are all
Federal and District government
employees more than one-half the
labor force, employees of all edu-
cational, charitable, scientific anc
religious institutions, and all do
mestic workers in private homes
Also ineligible would be veteran
who now are entering the labo,
market from educational institu
tions or who have been drawing
Government benefits under tht
Servicemens Readjustment Act
instead of working for the last
year.
Persons who exhaust their un-
employment benefits and still
can't find work will be in the same
boat. Although in any permanent
group of unemployed there is eX-
pected to be a rapid turnover,
there will certainly be some who
will stay unemployed for long
periods. These will be the less
employable persons who, because
of their age, education. mental
ability or health, are considered
bad risks by any employer. In a
competitive labor market experts
believe that such persons CAL
though from the point of view
of the Welfare Board they will
remain employable) will form the
hard core of the jobless popula-
ton.
These unprotected workers are
the people who are asking Off
cials at the USES Office and at
the Board of Public Welfare what
they are going to do if they can't
find jobs. And they are all get
ting the same answer: Il only
wish I knew"
Starving a Possibility.
The unpleasant fact that faces
these officials is that, in Wash
ington today, it is at least theoret-
ically possible for an unemployed
man to starve to death.
Other cities have faced the
problem. In States where there
are large industrial centers, with
an accompanying unstable en-
ployment situation. more or less
adequate funds have been set
aside to handle the situation as
it arises. Michigan, for example,
spent 1929 per inhabitant for
general public assistance in the
last fiscal year. New York spent
1854. The District spent 72
cents.
There are no funds available
here which could be used for
emergency unemployment relief,
much less the means to care for
a permanent group of unemployed.
The machinery exists in the Board
of Public Welfare, which has the
legal authority to grant any aid
that might be needed. But with
a higher per capita income than
Al other States, there isn't enough
money available to the District
Government to do an adequate job
of public relief under the best of
conditions.

The constant reference to

used for q telecast. Each has
four different lenses, ranging
in size from IS millimeters to

ing a cameraman to change
his lens to 1856 millimeters.

What's this? Double-talk?
Be-bop-or some kindred
mutilation of human speech?
Nope. it's strictly legitimate,
as much so, at least, as the
gibberish of q tobacco auc-
tioneer. This is run-of-the-
mill chatter in a television
studio at rehearsal or warm
up time, and the man you
are listening to Is the direc-
tor.
The jargon of television Is
something new in the English
language. It Is a polyglot
union of colorful terms from
radio and motion pictures,
plus q few new ones. And 1t
is, to a newcomer, thoroughly
confusing.
For instance, when the en-
gineer, apropos nothing at all,
suddenly growls "Woof" he
is not making like a collie;
he is checking voice level for
proper ampliication, making
sure that the voice that
comes to you is not too loud
or too soft.
If one of the crew turns
to the director and asks. do
you wanna dolly?" he isn't
making snide remarks about
the latter's preference In
playtoys. He is asking whether
the camera, mounted on
wheels, Is to be moved in for
a closeup.
When the director urges a
performer to cheat a little
more" he isn't advocating
any dishonesty or even sharp
practices. He is simply asking
that the performer act more
for the camera without look
ing directly into it.
When a technician has a
"blankout" he Is not referring
to a lost week end. His screen
picture has been erased be-
cause the receiver is being
adjusted.
