Teachers Protests
Against Workshop
Studied in Arlington

Arlington County school author
tiles today were studying protests
by q group of ITS public school
teachers against being required to
return to the schools August 20 for
o five-day professional improve
ment workshop"
In an emergency session" last
night with School Board Chairman
Barnard Joy and several school
administrative officers. the teach
ers asked the board to defer OPEN
ing the preschool planning pro-
gram until September 6. "at the
earliest" without scheduling addi-
tional classroom days next June.
There are about 400 classroom
teachers in county public schools.
The resolution opposing the
early return" to school. adopted
almost unanimously by a voice
vote, came after Mr.. Joy pointed
out that because of salary in
creases granted most teachers in
next years contracts 'it was felt
there should be q slight increase
in service"
Contract Stipulation Cited.
Teachers contended the August
20 date would interfere with pro
fessional improvement" programs
of their own and with summer jobs
to supplement teacher salaries,
Several expressed the view that the
preschool sessions were "unprofit-
able" in any case.
The School Board chairman told
the group next years contracts
stipulate q nine-and-one quarter
month classroom year. in place
of the nine and -one- half month
schedule this year. Teachers with
bachelor degrees and with two
years experience in county schools
will get $100 annual increase un-
der this proposal.
Several teachers wanted to know

Joy said exceptions would Re made

Teachers complained that it was

to announce salary increases with
no strings attached" before max

Mr.. Joy replied that the pay in

Suburban Bus Line
Says Capital Transit
Cuts in on Territory
Ax tho Assoeiatsd Prass

BALTIMORE. Md. June 49,
The Maryland Public Service
Commission today was studying a
complaint Of the Washington Su-
burban Bus Line that Capital
Transit Co. is elbowing In on It'd
territory in an effort to gain new
business in Prince Georges and
Montgomery County.
A scramble of the two transpor-
tation companies to serve resi-
dents in the many new housing
developments close to the District
line had brought the two firms
before the PSC previously.
At issue this time are two ap-
plications by Capital Transit to
extend and reroute several Of its
lines in the Maryland area.
Claims Duplicated Service.
The Washington Suburban line
opposed the application on the
ground the changes would du-
plicate service 1t already is pro-
viding. At the same. time Washing
ton Suburban stuck in an appli-
cation of its own for extended
service.
The Public Service Commission
took all three under consideration.
The first application by Capital
Transit was for extension Of its
line between Chevy Chase and
the intersection of Colston place
and East-West highway. II wants
to continue the line down the
highway to Grubb road and Kali
mia road to its terminus at Geor-
gia avenue and Alaska avenue at
Silver Spring.
This extension would offer serv-
ice to two developments. Rock
Greek Forest and Rock Greek
Gardens, particularly connections
for downtown Washington.
s. H. Kahn. secretary of Oriole
Motor Coach Lines, which owns
Suburban. complained his COM
pany offered substantially the
same service now.
Service Called Inadequate.
Capital Transit called several
witnesses who criticized Suburban
Service as inadequate and undo
pendable. Mrs. Dorothy Quinn,
10 Rock Greek Park resident,
claimed the Suburban line also
was too indirect between the
Maryland suburb and Washington.
Capital Transit's other applica-
ton involved rerouting. extension
or abandonment of seven lines
in the Takoma Park and Hyatts-
vile area.
Under the proposed new routes.
the company told the PSC. only
70 residents now served would be
deprived of transportation within
q quarter of q mile of their homes.
These 70 live In Chillum Manor
on Riggs road.
According to company exhibits,
the rerouting would provide bus
service for the first time to 2.6l1
families at New Hampshire estates,
ILewisdale, Green Meadows and
Avondale Terrace.
Mr.. Kahn protested that new
Capital Transit route on Ager
road, where Lewisdale and Green
Meadows are located. again would
duplicate service Of Washington
suburban buses. The application
submitted by Mr.. Kahn would ex-
tend suburban service 70 Lewisdaie
and also to another new develop
|ment between Queens Chapel
road and Mount Rainier.

he could not ask that the Senat,
