Maryland Pay Bill!
Excludes Teachers
lin Montgomery
BY a statf Correspondent, Of The s,ar

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. MARY
land school teachers, counting on
a fiat $500 annual pay boost under
a State Board of Education pro-
posal. are revising their figures
today.
Montgomery's 1,012 teachers, for
instance. would not get an extra
penny. if the plan becomes law,
DR.. Edwin w. Broome, county
superintendent of schools, said
yesterday.
Teachers in other counties, he
explained at a joint meeting of
Montgomery's legislators and
Board of Education. would benefit
in accordance with existing pay
scales in their localities.
His announcement came as a
surprise development in the teach
ers' fight for higher pay.
In a county paying its teachers
the State minimum of $4,000, the
$500 boost would apply in full. In
counties paying over the mini
mum, however, the raises would
equal the difference between their
scale and the proposed $2,700
State minimum. Thus, a teacher
in county with a $2,40O mini
mum would receive an extra $500.
Not Across-the- Board.
The plan. advanced by DR..
Thomas G. Pullen, jr.. State su-
perintendent of schools, is de-
signed to effect the jump from
$4,000 to $2,700 in the minimum
and is not intended to provide
$500 across-the-board raises, DR..
Broome said.
Gov. McKeldin has rejected the
proposal. He said it would cost
$7.3 million and that the State
cannot afford it. But Democrats
have begun a move to force a
cost-of- living increase.
Montgomery. paying its teach
ers more than any other county
in the State, has a minimum of
$2,500 and an average of $500.
In addition. the county has
promised its teachers an extra
5000 a year. beginning July /,
bringing its minimum to the full
$2,700 advocated by DR.. Pullen,
and making its entire instructors
corps ineligible for possible State
advances.
The money instead would be
paid to the county on the basis
of $500 for each teacher. The
income would total more than
100000 year. 1t would be used
for such purposes as the board
and county council decided after
joint consultations.
Terrific Lobby" Charged.
Under such circumstances. /"
said DR.. Broome, 1--WE are heartily
in favor Of the Pullen proposal. I"
So, too. are teachers through
out the State who have lombard
ed Gov. McKeldin and legislators
with letters urging support of the
plan.
Such mail from Montgomery
County has become so heavy that
Delegate Anders r. Lofstrand,
plainly irked, told the school board
the flood of letters should be
stopped.
Most of them contain inaccu-
rate statements he declared,
"and I believe Board of Education
employees should not be permitted
to engage in such a terrific lobby
"Your point is well taken" Mrs.
Herman E. Wilson, president of
the school board, replied. Ger
tainly, our group does not en-
courage that"
The school board. In another
request. recommended that the
delegation back a proposed bill
which would bring social security

Annapolis Legislation
Fails, ID to Is
By J. [. MichueI
Stdr StdH Coryexnordsrt

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. THE lines
of three Of Maryland's six Con-
gressional districts would have to
be <redrawn. if bill pending in
Congress is enacted.
The measure, sponsored by Rep
resentative Celler, Democrat, Of
New York, would provide that
population figures in Congress
sional districts deviate no more
than Is per cent from an average
obtained by dividing the States
population total by the number
OF districts. 1t also would ban
Representatives-at-large.
A surprised Senate got this in
formation yesterday from Repub-
lican Senator Stanford Hoff of
Carroll County, while the Demo-
cratic majority prepared to legis-
late boundary lines for a new dis
trict due the State as q result of
the last census figures.
Districts Threatened.
The three districts threatened
are the First, on the Eastern
Shore: the Fifth, in Prince Georges
County and Southern Maryland.
and the Sixth, in Western Mary
land
AS drawn, the Democrats re-
stricting bill would result in de-
vlations greater than Is per cent
in the First. Fifth and Sixth Dis
trict. Under it, the Eastern Shore
district would have a population
OF 100000. or 125,000 less than
the 355.000 average under the
Celler formula.
The Fifth District, with 419,000
and the Sixth, with AIS 900, would
be far above the average.
The bombshell hit during de.
bate on a motion offered by Sena-
tor Robert B. Kimble to make the
redistricting bill a special order
OF business tomorrow. The mo-
ton lost IA to 13. but the Allegany
County senator won a delay when
he moved that it lie over until
today under Senate rules.
Goldstein Urges Speed.
Senator Louis L. Goldstein.
Democrat, of Calvert County. who
pointed out that the Celler bill
would forbid Representatives-at-
large, urged the upper house to
speedy action. He told his COL
leagues that delay might lose
Maryland's chance for a new rep
resentative.
Republicans watched their po.
litical opponents carefully. The
G. o. P. has redistricting plan Of
its own. but lacks the votes to put
it into effect.

Civic Federation Told
OF Arlington Board S
Right 10 Protest PAY

Ine Arlington County Board
has ample opportunity" to object
to proposed salary schedules of
constitutional officers before they
go into effect. the county civic
federation was informed last night.
Howard Cannon, one of three
federation members who attended
conference with the State Com
pensation Board last month, re-
ported on the meeting. Federation
President T. Oscar Smith and
Delegate Lester Conley also at
tended.
The State pays a portion of the
salaries of the offices of sheriff,
commissioner of revenue, treasurer,
Commonwealth's attorney and
clerk of the court.
The federation had charged
that these officers failed to file
with the County Board. by October
IS. "as required by law copies
of their proposed budgets for 1851.
The federation, at an earlier meet
ing, urged that the County Board
hold public hearings on the pro-
posed budgets.
Mr.. Cannon said that Sheriff
j. Elwood Clements had filed his
proposed expenditures with the
County Board within few days
after receiving prescribed forms
! fy-ny,N tha
Forms Mailed Late.
L. Mccarthy Downs, chairman
of the State Board, reported the
forms were not mailed to the Ar
lington officers until October 10,
four days after the deadline, Mr..
Cannon said. The reason given
for the delay was that the forms
were "late coming from the
printer"
The State Board chairman
denied a federation assertion that
H. Bruce Green, clerk of the Cir
cult Court, was required to file a
copy of his salary requests with
the County Board. Mr.. Downs
said the State law is inconsistent"
on the requirement, but the Com
pensation Board holds that the
clerk need not advise the board of
his proposed budget.
Mr.. Cannon said that, after
the proposed budgets are filed with
the State Board, that agency ten
tatively fixes salaries to be paid
by State and county. The County
Board has 80 days, Mr.. Cannon
said, to make objection
School Bond Vote Asked.
In other action, the federation
asked the School Board to place
before the voters, with all possible
haste" proposed bond issue to
build permanent schools, designed
to carry on the Virginia State
curriculum"
A report was adopted commend
ing the County Board and civil
defense officials "for the progress
made in laying out a civil defense
program" j. H. Hickman, chair
man of the federation's committee
on civil defense, also urged that
the county organization be asked
to make available information on
family shelters and that each
member association be requested
to appoint a civil defense COM
Haittee.
The federation also approved a
resolution asking the county pub
lie utilities commission to deter
mine whether the Chesapeake g.
Potomac Telephone Co. was re-
quired to have the consent of the
State Corporation Commission be-
fore discontinuing publication of
a separate Northern Virginia di-

Waters is perfectly right in indi-
eating that the commissioners will
not necessarily be bound by the

gard the survey as a report to the

government should be referred to

However, I must warn that

not mean that American weapons

For example, a Canadian flame

than doubled the extreme range
of American flame-throwers and
was operated with greater accur-

SIMILARLY. many A m RI c a n

The standardization of weapons
