End Teacher Racial Discrimination,
President OF MEA Tells Conference

ed
ucators and legislators were told
last Thursday they must adopt a
teacher salary schedule eliminat-
ing discrimination between the
races, or a federal court will do
il for them.
The statement came from lack
Higgins, president of the Missis-
sippi Education Assn, and from
State Sen. R. M. Thompson of
Kinds county, chairman of the
senate education committee.
Both spoke in support of a $4,-
800, 900 adjustment plan before a
conference of 300 originally called
together by Gov. Fielding Wright
last January to work out such a
plan. Only 100 attended Thurs
day.
Proposal Adopted
The conference adopted the
proposal 1912. II will be recon-
mended to the Legislature. At
the same time it will be submit
ted and explained to the teachers
of the state in an effort to win
their support.
Il must say, though" Sen.
Thompson declared that the Leg
islature may have to act whether
the teachers approve or not"
If enacted into law it will be
Mississippi's first overall teacher
salary schedule system.
The possibility of federal ac-
ton lowered over the entire three
hour meeting.
1t stems from a suit now pend
ing in Federal District Court here
in which a former Negro teacher
is demanding she be paid the
same amount as white teachers
of equal training and experience.
Based on her claim that her rights
under the 14th amendment to the
Constitution have been violated,
the suit will be heard in No.
vember.
The six pay groups approved
Thursday, with average pay pro-
posed, are:
Groups Listed
M. A. degrees, $24O0, additional
for experience,
B. S. degree, $4,000 with addi-
tional for experience.
Three years of college, $500,
additional for experience.
Two years of college, $1,000, ad-
ditional for experience.
One year of college, $500, addi-
tional for experience.
Less than one year of college,
$500.
The classification within each
group would be either above or
below the average, depending on
the examination rating.
Present average salary sched-
ules in those groups, a compiled

.Yanks Hit Six Homers,
Two in 9Th, 10 Down
Tough Browns, 9-S
BY the Associofed Press

NEW YORK. Aug. 6.-The New
York Yankees looked like the
bombers of old today as they
blasted out six home runs to
overpower the ST. Louis Browns,
9-8.
Successive ninth-i Inning home
runs by Tommy Heinrich and Joe
DiMaggio broke up the ball game
and increased the Yanks' Ameri-
can League lead over the CleVe-
land Indians to four games. The
Indians bowed, 20, to the Phila-
delphia Athletics.
The Browns took an early 8-3
lead on home runs by Paul Leh-
ner. Sherm Lollar and Gerry
Priddy. Then the Yanks dis
played their fireworks.
Yogi Berra started things with
his 18th homer in the third. Phil
Rizzuto and DiMaggio hit for the
circuit in the fifth. Rizzuto socked
his second. with one on, in the
sixth and then Heinrich and Di-
Maggie staged the thrilling climax.
Heinrich unloaded his Goth of
the season off Lefty Joe Ostrowski
after one out in the ninth. Cliff
Fannin took over and DiMaggio
belted Fannin's first pitch into
the leftfeld stands to win the
game.
Lefty Joe Page, fourth Yankee
pitcher. gained credit for the vic
tory. his 10th. The total Of nine
homers fell one shy of the major
league record for most home runs
by two clubs in one game.

been defeated by the Tigers. He
now has beaten them nine times.
/ Only Two Tigers Gain Second.
j Only two Tigers got to second
against him. They were Johnny
Groth, who singled and stole in
the second inning, and Vic Wertz,
who singled and moved up on an
infield out in the seventh.
The Sox, who gained game
on the second place Cleveland
Indians, racked up a run in the
opening inning which would have
been enough to win.
/ Ted Williams shot liner into
rightfield which glanced off the
front of the stands-missing a
home run by inches-and caromed
away from Vic Wertz for triple.
Vern Stephens mptly
brought Ted home by rapping a
double off the wall in left above
