Fifth Reappoiniment
Withheld as Murphy
Fine Arts Term Ends

Frederick v. Murphy. Wash
ington architect, is the fifth men,
Der of the seven-man Commission
of Fine Arts whose four-year term
has been allowed to expire with
out indication of a presidential re-
appointment. His term was up
yesterday.
The term Of a sixth member
Lee Lawrie, Easton md sculp-
tor, is slated to expire Sunday.
leaving only David E. Finley of
Washington, who has two more
years to serve.
The reason for this condition is
still believed to be a retaliatory
attitude President Truman has
adopted against the commissions
personnel who opposed the idea of
a second floor balcony off the
Presidents study in the south por-
tico of the White House. Mr..
Truman won out In the now IA
nous battle" but last spring he
did not reappoint Chairman Gill
more D. Clarke, New York land
scape architect, when the latter's
term expired April 81.
Instead Of whitening on the
vine," the recalcitrant members
are still serving legally and ap-
parently are in the best of health.
Unlike it's sister group, the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, the Fine Arts per-
sonnet serve until reappointed or
a successor is named. At least
the law gives them that right If
they choose to do so, and up to
now there has been no proffer of
designations.
Chairman Clarke has said that
he will continue to serve under
the circumstances. In official
circles, 1t is believed he will re-
main for some time to come, be-
cause of the part the commission
will play in the Washington Ses-
quicentennial celebration and
preparations for it.
There Is also the difficulty in
finding willing and competent
architects and sculptors to take
the places of the present members,
especially in view of the fact that
they serve without remuneration.
From the White House, In recent
months, there has come no indica-
ton of what the President intends
to do in the matter.

NEACites Shortages
Of Schools, Teachers

The current school. year is one
OF strain and stress" for the
Nations public school system be-
cause of two basic shortages,
teachers and buildings, the Ma
tional Education Association said
today.
The NEA summed up the prob
lens Of the country's public
schools, based on a new survey
just completed, as follows: l. .
/. About 10000 teachers, or one
in 10. hold emergency or tempo
rary certificates.
2. In As of the 40 States, there
is considerable" or very large"
shortage Of rural elementary
teachers. Thirty seven States re-
ported similar teacher shortages
in their urban elementary schools.
8. In more than half the States,
the building shortage Is very
large" for elementary schools in
cities. Similar shortages are re-
ported for rural schools In one
fourth Of the States.
4. The national average salary
for the Institutional staff Is esti-
mated at $2,985 for 1949-50, COM
pared to an average Of $2.750 a
year ago. The estimated average
of 80 Q25 has a nrewar plIrchaS-
ing power of $1,760.
The District compared favorably
with other school systems Of the
Nation in the NEA report. Teacher
shortages were very large" In 81
States and building shortages were
very large" In "a States. In both
cases the Districts needs were
reported as some" with an ex-
PLANTATION that the shortage lie
mainly In the elementary grades.

presents IS per cent of what unit

man Hugh K. Duffield pointed
out, because about $4,000 of its
quota is assigned to the CAM
paign's Advance Gifts unit for
later crediting to business. The
quota is $241.781.
But Mr.. Duffield urged con-
tinued efforts to raise the balance,
emphasizing that leaders ia'are
committed to campaigning until

tuations seemed unlikely for the
