enue loss from his proposal would
be only $3.50, 900 yearly. Sena-
tor George said it would run to
$725, 100000.
But Senator McGrath said he
thinks the loss would be much
smaller because he said some in
dustrieS now are fiat on their
backs" and aren't producing goods
on which taxes can be collected.
He mentioned the jewelry industry
as one of these.
In the House, Minority Leader
Martin called for an excise cut.
But Majority Leader McCor-
mack said the Republicans already
had done enough damage by pass
ing last years general tax re-
duction bill over presidential veto.
Mr.. Truman recalled his tax bill
vetoes when the nations finances
were being discussed yesterday.
Chairman Doughton of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee said he would like to see some
excise levies removed, but added
that he doesn't see how we can
lose that amount of revenue at
a time when revenues are declin-
ing and Government expenses in

Accompanied by her attorney,
she went to the Willard Hotel to

Mrs. Rebecca Coplon, who had
been persuaded to stay away from
the court yesterday after attend
ing almost every session of the
trial.
Last night Miss Coplon walked
along F street window shopping
with her attorney. A dress in one
of the store windows caught her
fancy and she told Mr.. Palmer
she might buy it this afternoon
if she is allowed to remain at
liberty under bond.
Judge Praises Jury.
Judge Reeves, before dismissing
the jurors, praised them as good
soldiers" and added:
II have developed a greater
confidence in this country, in the
Republic, because of the men and
women who make up our juries.
I feel the country is safe as long
as we have men and women like
yourselves"
The defense attorney filed notice
of an appeal from yesterdays
conviction and declared, I'll carry
this case to the Supreme Court
if necessary"
During the 10-week trial, which
ended dramatically with the early
afternoon verdict, the portrait of
the diminutive Government girl
fighting to prove her innocence
was frequently overshadowed on
the larger canvas of charges and
countercharges involving the en-

I feel that when you re-examine
the record on the two occasions
you fined me you will find was
doing my duty under difficult cir
cumstances.
"The fines will stand" Judge
Reeves said.
Judge Reeves said he would sign
any order Mr.. Palmer desired to
give him ample opportunity to
carry the contempt citations to
the Court Of Appeals.
Mr.. Palmer then switched into
a stormy TRADE about the injustice
of confining Miss Coplon in cell
while he was attempting to ar
range bond for her. Judge Reeves
tried to interrupt him several
times, but the tempestuous de-
fense lawyer would not be quieted
until two deputy marshals, in re-
sponse to a gesture from the judge,
moved close to Mr.. Palmer's
shoulders.
Palmer Warned by Judge.
II don't want you to force me
to impose another fine, Mr..
Palmer" Judge Reeves said, "but
you must stop talking. I have
found the marshals here as courte-
Gus and considerate as any I have
ever met. I am sure they will
make any arrangements you de-
sire so that you can talk to your
client in private"
MIR. Palmer agreed that the
marshals here were more consid-
crate than any he had ever
encountered.
"At last, Mr., Palmer. you and I
are in complete agreement. Judge
Reeves said with a broad grin.
The courtroom roared with
laughter and the judge made no
attempt to quiet the spectators.
The only person who did not smile
was Miss Coplon. She sat glumly
at the counsel table with her chin
|cupped in her hand and two deputy
marshals standing behind her
waiting to take her to the court
cellblock.
The espionage jury which had
listened to more than 2,000, 900
words Of testimony in a trial that
lasted nine weeks and four days,

Miss Coplon was pale but she
accepted the vexdict with no out
ward show Of emotion. She was
on her feet when Foreman Andrew
Norford, a Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Co. employe, an
nounced the verdict.
Poll of Jury Granted.
Mr.. Palmer Immediately de-
inanded an individual poll of the
jurors and Miss Coplon sat down
quickly and cupped her chin in
one hand while Court Clerk Paul
A. Roser called the roll and asked
each Juror how he, or she, had
voted.

The Barnard College honor

The prosecution built its case
around the documents found in
Miss Coplon's purse at the time
of her arrest and the testimony OF

surveillance at three New York
meetings with Gubitchev.
Mr.. Palmer demanded that
the Government make public

the warning that the Government

when asked for comment on the

But Senator Wherry of Nebras-

had another slant.
THE appropriations Congress is
passing are based entirely on
President Truman's own budget
estimates" the Nenraskan told a
reporter. Every time we try to
cut them, his wing Of the Demo-
cratic Party fights the move.
What we are asking him to
do is to cut his own budget to
balance income and outgo."

to Senate Majority Leader Lucas,
aimed at ordering such presiden-
tial action, now bears the sigma
lures Of 81 of IS Senators. There
is one vacancy.
In the House a similar petition
had 107 signers and Republican
hackers predicted the number will
swell so rapidly as to force action
before the session ends.
Meanwhile, Democrats and Re-
publicans got all tangled up In a
move-unlikely to succeed-to cut
excise taxes.
The Senate Finance Committee

Increase in Employment
During March Reported
by ths Assocjcted Press

! bY me Associcfed PfeSS
The number of unemployed
dropped $4,000 in March after ris-
ing during each of the four pre-
vious months, the Census Bureau
reported today.
simultaneously. the number of
employed increased 479,000 in
March. This checked a two-month
decline in the number Of people
holding jobs.
These apparently favorable de-
velopments were explained by the
bureau in these words:
"A seasonal expansion in en-
ployment in agriculture and some
other industries apparently coun-
terbalanced the effect of further
layoffs in other sectors of the
economy"
Shortly before the bureau issued
the report, Secretary of Commerce
Sawyer gave the figures to Presi-
dent Truman and the cabinet at a
White House meeting.
Mr.. Sawyer told reporters later
it looks to him as If the up
trend in unemployment has been
stopped"
The $4,000 decline in unemploy-
.xnent from February's postwar
peak left the total number of peo-
pie out of work and hunting jobs
at 3,167, ,000-still 727,000 higher
than at this time last year.

next two years as an investment
in it's children. The people will
want to see results"
The education boards are re-
ceiving scores of applications from
candidates for jobs, now that the
state has its new, attractive sal
ary schedule, Mr.. Durkee explain
ed.
Although the method of carrying
out the recommendations of the
DSEA is left to the individual
boards, it is felt that a date should
be set, after which the recommend
ed policy would be effective.
The recommended prOgra
would have it's. greatest repercus-
sions among the shop and CONNER
cial teaching personnel, many of
whom have qualified for jobs with
less than four years of college
training. In certain instances, the
commercial teachers are graduates
of two-year business colleges.
Many of the instructors with
temporary emergency certificates
were obtained during the recent
war, when the teacher shortage
was acute. This shortage has been
relieved to a great extent recently,
it was pointed out.
Although the DSEA board policy
makes no provisions for So to 60
year-old teachers with 20 or 30
years of teaching experience, it is
likely that a special program would
be adopted for these cases. For
instance, statistics of the Will
( mington Board of Education, cover
ing a period up to last December,
show that % teachers with no de-
i grees are graduates of the old
Wilmington Teachers Training
School and have been employed in
the Wilmington public schools fol-
as long as 80 years.
The recommendations are aimed
mainly at the teachers who refuse
to attend summer schools and dc
other work to improve themselves
Mr.. Durkee said. "The good teach
ers are just not satisfied to worl
alongside the poor teachers at th'
same salary" he added.
Among the means of self-im

All Teachers
Without Degrees
lcOntinuea rom nrs, page1

Delaware State Education Associa-
ton, at their meeting on June 1.
1949, were of the opinion that the
responsible employing agencies
should Immediately require higher
professional qualifications for
school personnel if recent legis-
fative gains are to be held and a
better program of instruction to
result.
Being fully aware of the diff
Guilty involved, the board neverthe-
less has made the following recon-
mendations and requests their con-
sideration by the State Board of
Education at its meeting on Fri
day, June II:
Il. The immediate discontinue
ance of temporary emergency GER
tifcates.
''2. Original employment of only
properly certified, degree-holding
teachers.
"S. Immediate retirement of non
degree teachers at the age of so
(unless they are working on a pro-
gram of studies).
"a Requirement for non-degree
teachers Immediately to begin a
program of studies for a degree
and attend school annually until
the degree is granted Tor be re-
piaced).
"5. Requirement for nurses, sec
retaries, clerks and custodians to
take additional training"
Although the exact number Of
teachers affected under the recon.
mendations was not divulged, DR.
George R. Miller, Jr., in his las
annual report, disclosed that IA
teachers were working with tenn
porary emergency certificates as o
June l, 194S. No substantial turn
over is thought to have occurred
since then. OF this number, IL
were elementary school teachers.

Mr.. Durkee, in discussing tn
recommendations, said the boar
Of the DSEA feels that the upgraC
ing of requirements for teacher
is necessary to make them worth
of the salary increases they wi
receive under the new state scheC
ule. 1T is a move to replace til
dead wood in the profession wit
qualified personnel" he said TT
DSEA official added:
Public Expects More
Nov that the teachers are goir
to receive more money, we feel TIL
the public is going to expect in
provements in the teaching profe
sion. If we don't get rid of Il
teachers who refuse to impro-
themselves and thereby tighten o.
standards, the public will be di
satisfied. The state is going
spend this additional money in t
