zoners Reject Plea
For N, FM Studios
In Residential Areas

The District Zoning Commission
today refused to approve studio
broadcasting from television and
FIN transmitter sites in residen-
tial areas.
The action followed a hearing
last month on proposed amend
ment to the zoning regulations to
permit such broadcasting on a
limited scale, with no studio
audience.
In turning down the amend
ment, a zoning official explained
the commission felt an exception
to the rules in this case would
establish a precedent for proposals
from other fields to relax the
regulations.

had advocated the amendment,
however, was granted the right to

ID. {. Sick Leave Law
Holds Teacher Morale
Down, Board Is Told

The morale of the public school
teachers is down because of the
present sick leave law, the Board
Of Education was told today.
This comment came from Miss
Helen Samuels, representing the
Teachers Joint Legislative Coun-
Gil, as she testified at a hearing
at the Franklin Administration
Building to get opinions of teach
ers on the sick leave question.
Ten representatives of teacher
organizations appeared before the
board. Only one of these, Carleton
Washburn. representing the Dis
trict Vocational Association, found
the present law satisfactory.
Nine Recommended Changes.
The nine others recommended
various amendments to the pres
ent law. Principal ones were ad-
ditional number of days of annual
leave and the additional right of
teachers to hire substitutes and
pay for them out of their salary
after their sick leave has been
exhausted by long illness.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing is opposed to any basic
changes in the law. His stand is
that 1t became law only last year
and has not been tried out for
a full school year as yet. He
also believes the present law is
generous in the amount of sick
leave it gives-10 days annually
cumulative to so days.
Senator Johnston, Democrat. of
South Carolina has introduced a
bill which would make the basic
amendments favored by the
majority of the teachers.
Miss Samuels recommended
these points:
Each teacher should be given
a backlog of leave of one day for
each year in the school system
without a limit of 20 days
maximum backlog as at present:
teachers should be allowed to bor-
row in advance Is days of leave
rather than 20 days as now; the
meaning of leave for pressing
personal emergency should be
broadened; teachers should be al
lowed to pay substitutes after sick
leave has expired (until last year
there was no paid sick leave and
teachers had to hire substitutes
every time they were absent.)
Miss Samuels Backed.
Her recommendations were sup
ported basically by Sidney Zevin
representing the Junior High
School Teachers Association; Mrs
Mildred Anderson, representing
the Elementary Classroom Teach
ers' Association; Miss Louise Row.
lett Grover, representing the High
Schools Teachers Association, and
Miss Marion V. Magruder, rep
resenting Local 8 of the American
Federation of Teachers, AFL.
Don Goodloe and Mrs. Maude
Stratton, representing Local 27,
American Federation of Teachers,
AFL, also favored the changes to
the present law-stressing the
need for the right of teachers to
hire substitutes after their sick
leave has expired.
Others favoring changes to the
law were Mrs. Dorothy Harding
representing the attendance Of
f1cers OF the school system and
James w. Taylor, representing the
District Education Association.

Sidener Wins Fight
In New UNIV Accord
Announced by NLRB
BY the Associoied Press

CANTON, III, June 30.-A new
agreement in Lloyd H. Sidener's
showdown fight with the United
Mine Workers was reached yester-
day.
The National Labor Relations
Board which announced the new
terms said they are in favor Of
the former local president of the
mine union.
The board had turned back a
May 81 UNIV -Sidener agreement.
Mr.. Sidener filed unfair labor
practices charges against the
union after it deposed him as a
local president and fined him $50
900 for trying to 60 back to work
during last winters mine strike.
The new terms, which must be
approved by the NLRB in Wash
ington. provide that Mr.. Sidener
be reinstated to his job as a mine
shovel operator, receive $4,000 in
lost pay, be spared any discrimina-
ton. and that the $50.000 fine be
Cancelled.
Mr.. Sidener, who has moved to
Florida with his family, was not
at the hearing.
He had denied charges that in
attempting to return to work he
was trying to set up rival union.
He said he wanted to go back to
the mine in compliance with a
public order to all miners by their
president. John L. Lewis. He added,
however, that the public order for
the men to go back to work was
accompanied by a secret order
through union ranks to the con-
trary.
The NLRB said yesterday in
Washington it has demanded that
the union promise there will be no
further threats of retaliation
again Mr.. Sidener. It said Mr..
Sidener was threatened after the
May 81 stipulation.
