County Bill Asks Ban
On All Mechanical
Amusement Devices
BY q Staff Correspondent Of The Star

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 23.-Legisla-
ton designed to drive all types of
mechanical amusement" devices
from Prince Georges County is
before the Senate today.
The hard-hitting proposal would
ban one-arm bandits, console,
claw, pinball and other types of
machines that could be used for
gambling.
Under it's provisions, such de-
vices would be destroyed or con-
fiscated and operators would be
subject to fines up to 500 for each
machine in their possession.
5 The bill may strike a paralyzing
blow at the high-powered slot ma
chine lobby which has waged a
losing campaign for legal slot
machines.
1t was introduced yesterday by
the county's Republican Senator,
John r. Fletcher, after consulta-
tions with Prince Georges. States
Attorney Carlyle j. Lancaster and
Sheriff Carlten G. Beall. -
i" Both officials" said Senator
Fletcher, "are convinced that all
types of mechanical and FOR gam
bling devices" should be outlawed
or brought within the statutes.
"They have waged strong fight
to end over-the-counter payoffs
on now legal console machines but
are unable to make a clean sweep
because they do not have enough
policemen"
Prince Georges legislators voted
5 to 2 Monday night against intro
duction of legalizing legislation
Senator Fletcher cast one of the
negative votes.
The county's delegates now have
before them a proposal intended
to permit operation of slot ma
chimes in veterans clubhouses.
In another development, a bill
which would have made minimum
one-year Jail sentences manda-
tory for first-offense gambling
convictions was modified by the
House Judiciary Committee and
reported favorably.
The committee removed the
clause providing for mandatory
Jail sentences but heightened pos
sible confinement from the pres
ent one-year maximum to five
years and raised possible fines
from $1,000 to $4,000.

Fairfax School Board
Refuses New Cuts in
|S4.9 Million Budget

Fairfax County's proposed $40
million school budget today was
back before the county supervisors
unchanged after the school board
refused to make any further re-
ductions.
School board members last night
again approved their record bud
jet, which had been sent back by
the supervisors with a request for
a reduction of Is per cent.
1--WE have the children, and the
law says we have to educate them"
said School Board Chairman Fred
w. Robinson.
Won't Cut Teacher Pay.
eff you're going to do any trim
ming. it's got to come off teachers
salaries-that's one of the large
items in the budget" said Schools
Supt. w. T. Woodson.
A petition was received last
night from 167 county residents
requesting a tax levy for school
construction.
The school budget. as proposed
would require a $2.56 tax rate
When the supervisors yesterday
voted to send back the schoo.
budget, they asked that the school
levy be held to 81. Although thei1
request was refused by the school
officials, the supervisors still have
the power to levy any school tax
rate they see fit. A public hear
ing on the school budget. to-
gether with the county operating
budget which is yet to be an
nounced, will be held next month.
Preparation of final architects
plans for 10 school projects was
authorized so that some of them
may be started as soon as Federal
aid, a State grant or bond issue
funds are available. The schools,
or additions, authorized are
Freedom Hill, Baileys Cross Roads,
Mount Eagle, Chesterbrook addi-
ton, Garfield, Bellevue, Groveton
addition, Westlawn, Holm Hall
addition and Gum Springs.
Some already are listed on the
school boards application fol
Federal assistance. so the school
board decided not to specify which
of them were to be started with
the anticipated State money. As
sistant Supt. j. H. Rice explained
that proposed schools where chill
dren now are entirely without
classrooms stand the best chance
of getting Federal assistance.
PTA Request Answered.
In reply to a request of the
Oak Street Parent-Teacher AS
sociation, the School Board ac-
knowledged that it has not
included any new schools in the
Falls Church annexation area in
the application for Federal as
sistance.
Mr.. Robinson said more bond
money would be available for
schools in the annexation area
however, if other areas are helped
by Federal funds. Sale of the
county's sos million school con-
struction bond issue at present
is tied up in litigation.
r. j. Lillard was retained by
the School Board as general coun-
sci to replace John Alexander
who has been recalled to active
duty in the Air Force.

Freedmen S Attempts

To the surprise of a House Ap-

Ipital officials explained that the
District pays the hospital 50 a

Hunt for Funds
For Maryland
Raise Fails
Democrats Meet
Today to Solve
Teacher Salaries
By J. L. MichoeI
Star Staff Cerrespondent

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 23.-Mary-
land legislators face two pay
raise dilemmas today.
One results from the So-far
futile search for funds to increase
salaries of school teachers.
The other, which threatens to
split the Democratic majority,
stems from Gov. McKeldin's pro-
posal to divert nearly So million
in highway funds to help finance
pay boosts for State employees.
Underlying both issues is the
determination of the Governor
and some Democratic leaders to
ban tax advances this year.
The Democrats of both houses
met yesterday in last-minute ef-
forts to solve the question of what
can be done about school teach
ers' pay They hope to decide
finally today.
No Money Found.
So far, and after combing every
department of the State Govern
ment for hidden funds, no legis-
1ator has been able to find the
money to provide even 5000 to
$500 raise.
The State Board of Education
has asked for $500.
Gov. McKeldin has insisted
that the only way State employees
can be given pay boosts without
raising taxes is to shift State
police expenditures from general
funds to the Motor Vehicle De-
partment.
The House last night suspended
rules and approved the transfer.
Tough going appeared likely in
the Senate.
But if that is done, the States
% counties would lose $350,000
they now get annually for road
improvements, and Baltimore City
would receive $535 ZOO a year less.
AS the law stands, one-half of
the States motor vehicle and gas
oline revenues are returned to
the subdivisions. The counties get
20 per cent and Baltimore 80 per
cent.
Budget Cuts Suggested.
Some highly placed Democrats
contend that the Governor could
lop off enough from his $163 ,000,-
600 budget to make up the $1,768,-
900 State police cost without using
highway funds.
Others believe State revenues
have been underestimated. Amid
the uncertainty. signs have ap-I
peared that the Senate Democratic
majority may make the plan al
party issue. If that develops and
the proposal is defeated, the Leg
islature may adjourn without act
ing on either school teachers or
State employees measures.
That could mean a special ses-
sion Of the General Assembly after
the April 2 adjournment deadline.
Also under study is a proposed
reorganization of the embattled
Tidewater Fisheries Commission.
A hearing on the plan is to be held
at noon today before the House
Ways and Means Committee.

Exchange
Program Ended
ByFa||sChurch
Fuirfux Must Now
Find Room for 600
Displaced Students

Fairfax County, long beset with
legal delays in it's school construc-.
ton program, now has a new
MISUNDERSTANDING quarters in the
fall for about 600 students attend
ing Falls Church schools.
In an unexpected move, Falls
Church has decided it will no
longer need to continue a student
exchange program with the county
when two new city schools open
in September.
Fairfax Construction Delayed.
The two new city schools are
being built with 100000 bond
issue and a $15O,000 temporary
loan. At present, Falls Church
has about 400 students attending
county owned schools within the
city boundaries.
Fairfax has been less fortunate
in carrying out it's construction
program. A sos million bond
issue there has been tied up in
litigation since last May.
The Falls Church School Board
decision was reached at a meet
ling Wednesday night. The Fair
fax School Board, which met last
might, had not received oflIcial
notice of the move.
Serious Problem Seen.
When informed today, however,
county school authorities said
they were surprised and admitted
that finding new classrooms for
the ousted students will be a seri-
GUS problem.
Irving Schmitt, city school su-
Iperintendent. said the 1st and I'd
grades have been on halliday
classes because of overcrowding.
Even with our new schools" he
said. I'VE would have to continue
halliday sessions in the fall if we
continued the arrangement we
now have with the county. BY
disseminating the arrangement we
will no longer have half-day
classes"
The exchange arrangement has
been in operation since Falls
Church became a separate school
district and was awarded owner
ship of the Madison jefferson Ele-
mentary School about two years
ago. The county, however. re-
tained ownership of the Falls
Church High School and Oak
Street Elementary School within
the city.
Since Falls Church had no high
school, its students have been at
tending the county-owned insti-
tuition and the two school boards
also continued to send some Of
their students to each of the ele-
mentary schools. A tuition ar
=, arrangement was agreed on.
I. In another action the Falls
7 Church School Board increased
teacher salaries next year to a
minimum of $4,000 and a maxi
:. mum of S4,700 annually.
Ranges Prescribed.
! Teachers with two years of COL
lege training who now receive
from $4,000 to $3,4O0, will receive
IS2,5o0 to $3,700. The range Of
teachers with bachelors degrees.
now S2,400 to $4,000, was raised
TO from $2,7o0 to S4,20o Teachers
with masters degrees, now paid
from $4,000 to $4,000, will receive
from $4,000 to $4,7OO.
The board also made a change
in entrance requirements for first
grade students.
Last September, children whose
sixth birthday fell on or before
the following November 80, were
permitted to take tests to deter
mine whether they could qualify
for admission. Next September.
this date will be extended to jan
uary 81.
Under Virginia law, children
whose sixth birthday falls on or
before the end of September must
be admitted to the first grade.
