Radio Program During Hearing
On Bus Broudcusts Rejected

If radio music and commercials
are not distracting in Streetcars
and buses then there's no reason
why the forthcoming public hear
ing on the subject should not be
conducted to the same music and
chatter, the Public Utilities Com
mission was told today.
The suggestion was promptly
turned down.
The hearing is scheduled for 10
m. October 81, in the boardroon
of the District Building and the
specific question is whether use of
radio receivers on Capital Transit
Co. vehicles is consistent with
public convenience, comfort and
safety"
Attorney Paul M. Segal sug-
gested in a letter to the PUG that
if, as proponents of transit radio
contend. the loudspeakers are no
impediment to ordinary conversa-
ton, it should be possible to con-
duct the hearing with a back
ground of the same broadcast.
He proposed to have installed
in the hearing room a number of
loud speakers to be connected with
frequency modulation receiving
apparatus, and have it function
throughout the hearing.

Loan Firms Plan Test
OF License Regulation

Small loan companies in Wash
ington plan to test the authority
Of the Commissioners to require
them to take out a license and will
file suit in District Court next
week asking that the city heads
be enjoined from enforcing the
regulations.
William r. Lichtenberg. attor-
ney for the Washington Associa- =
ton of Finance Companies, said
the association will file suit and
base their complaint on the fact
that the Commissioners do not
have sufficient authority to
Ipromulgate the new regulations.
The regulations will go into effect
on November /.
At present. small loan COM
panies charging per cent or less
interest on loans do not have to
have a license. Those charging
more than that must be licensed.
The new regulations require
licenses for all loan companies.
Mr.. Lichtenberg said the asso-
citation was split on the question
Of whether to apply for licenses
under the new regulations. Fifteen
members have indicated they will
apply while S have indicated they
will not, he added.
All members of the association
are supporting the suit, however,
he said.

Bill Is Signed 10 End
Teacher Pay Inequities

President Truman today signed
bill to remove an inequity in the
pay system of public school
teachers '-'hich allowed a person
Just CO. into the system with
a masters degree to get more SAL
ary than a teacher already in the
schools with the same qualifica-
tions.
The situation came about with
enactment of the Teachers SAL
ary Act of 1947. This allowed a
teacher entering the school sys-
tenn. who had a masters degree
and five years experience, to start
at SO 500 year. Teachers already
in the system, who had a masters
degree but were making less than
$4,000 under the old salary scales,
got only $100 increase for hav-
ing the masters degree.
In many cases this caused old
teachers with the same qualifica-
tions as entering teachers to be
on different salary scale. The
bill will clear up this inequity.

School Burdens
Ito Be Outlined
House Group to Hear
Views From Virginia,
MARYLAND Areas

A subcommittee of the House
Committee on Education and
Labor will launch an inquiry next
week into school problems imposed
upon communities in which there
is heavy concentration Of Federal
agencies, it was learned today.
Educators in nearby Virginia
and Maryland are among those
invited to make known their views
on what the Government should
do to help carry the burden Of
local education.
Supt. William A. Early of Arl-
ington, said an effort would be
made to present a strong case"
for material financial assistance.
Testimony Is Desired.
The subcommittee's work will be
purely investigative, a spokesman
said. It's meetings will not consti-
tute a hearing although the testi-
mony is desired because of points
raised by pending legislation.
The committee will spend the
first three days of next week ques-
tioning representatives Of about Is
Federal agencies which operate
heavily throughout the country,
such as the armed services.
Virginia educators will appear
at 10 am. next Thursday, and q
Maryland delegation, will appear
the following day.
After the committee assimilates
the information it wants. it is ex-
pected to propose a system Of
meeting the school problems. At
present, some communities receive
Federal aid on temporary basis.
Educators from the District
have not been invited to appear
because the committee considers
the District to be in a separate
category.
Mr.. Early said the problems
raised by heavy concentrations of
Federal activities are acute in
many areas.
Exemption Cut Taxes.
In Arlington, he pointed out.
Federal installations are valued
at $302,000,000. These are tax
exempt. If they could be taxed
at even 40 per cent of their value.
he said. the county would receivs
100000 in new revenue.
The superintendent said the
land taken by the Federal Gov
ernment formerly produced some
revenue. At the same time Ar
lington lost this tax money, hs
said. it had to assume the new
burden of educating the children
of thousands of Federal en-
ployes assigned to the Federal
agencies.
Mr.. Early said that while he
was superintendent of the schools
in Norfolk County, Va, Federal
funds were supplied to build 16
schools, in recognition Of Gov
ernment obligations.
