were fancy cattle, grading high
choice, and there is a broad de-
mand for light stockers that can
be turned out on grass, perhaps
for as long as two years, and then
fattened with grain on a feed lot.
Growers want light animals to
start this process so they won't
have so much money tied up.
The broad demand has devel-
oped across the country the past
few weeks because from all reports
pastures came through the winter
in excellent shape.
Men around the market said
the IA Herefords probably would
have brought the same price if
they had been offered a week or
ten days ago. A month ago the
price would not have been quite

Arnold Line Is Granted
Scent Fare Boost in
Arlington and Fairfax

Riders on Arnold buses in Ar
lington and Fairfax Counties face
a scent fare increase on all trips
within the two counties.
The increase. effective after one
days published notice, was grant
ed the Washington, Virginia &,
Maryland Coach Co.. Inc. yester
day by the State Corporation
Commission.

several hours after conclusion o1
a hearing on the company's peti
ton, the commission said testi'
mony in the case indicated I'm
creased passenger rates
are necessary and should bt
granted"
Operated by State.
The increase on intrastate op.
erations in nearby Virginia is the
same amount granted last week BY
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for fares into the District
of Columbia.
The bus company is being op-
Grated by the State. which took ii
over several months ago to assure
continued service after employees
served notice of a strike.
According to company officials
the extra money from fare in
creases is needed to meet wage in
creases granted by an arbitration
award last fall.
During yesterdays hearing, Les
ter r. Conley, counsel for the Ar
lington County Board, claimed a
rate increase would not neces-
sarily improve bus service and that
the company would not be in
much better financial condition
than it was before.

FederationAsks
Full Teacher Pay
In Montgomery
Urges Conformonce
To Schedule Voted
BY School Board

The Montgomery County Civic
Federation last night asked the
County Council to place school
teachers on the salary schedule
adopted by the Board of Educa-
ton in 1947. The annual cost
would exceed $150,000.
Brig. Gen. F. W. Browne of the
Schools Committee pointed out
that 319 of the county's 867 teach
ers are not receiving the pay pro-
vided under the schedule because
the Council has failed to appro-
pirate enough funds.
This failure has penalized teach
ers of long experience and good
educational background, he said.
He commented further that all
teachers who have been in the
system for eight years or less are
receiving the scheduled salary. A
S100-a-year increment earned by
those in service longer than eight
years has not been passed on to
them, nor have many of them
been paid for their higher educa-
ton.
For instance, of the 1873 teachers
without degrees, only three are
off schedule. OF the 324 with ABB
degrees, 1877 are off, and of 220
Masters degrees, 129 are not paid
the full rate.
Gen. Browne recalled that the
recent Maryland General Assem-
bly, reduced the State tax rate on
real estate by 6 cents per S100. He
suggested that the county increase
its real estate levy by this amount
which, he contended, would pro-
vide more than enough for the
proposed salary schedule. This
would result in no net change in
the rate for the Montgomery tax
payer. he said.
Opposed to Apartments.
In another action, the Fedora
ton unanimously reaffirmed its
stand of last January that no
extensive rezonings for apartments
be made until regulations are
adopted providing for more ade-
quate control of all types of land
use in the county.
This action was taken after a
report by Dr.. Harold Morris, chair
man Of special committee named
to study the economic relation of
apartments to governmental
services.
Tax revenue per child received
from apartment dwellers fall $35
short of paying for the child's edu-
cation, which costs the county
S18847. he reported. The deficit
is SIG per child for single family
dwellings. Commercial and in
dustrial property makes up the
deficit. he said. There is a deficit
of $109 per child from the area
outside of the metropolitan dis
trict, he declared.
DR.. Morris report was based on
d OCGd1lCd SUOSy VI dOOSOSl1lClle 41S-
ures and school enrolment in the
metropolitan area as OF July
!, 1949.
Notes General Trend.
DR.. Morris stated that the gen.
eral trend of higher assessment
on current apartment construction
has proved helpful in insuring a
more equitable apportionment of
revenues for services required by
apartment house residents. Low
density apartment zoning will
further this purpose, he said.
The Federation appropriated
$500 to help defray the cost of a
banquet sometime this spring In
celebration OF the Federation s
