Maryland Congress
OF PTADigs Into Issue
OF Teacher Pay Rise
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Nov. a.
Maryland's congress of parents and
teachers today dug into the main
business OF its two-day convention
adopting its legislative program
and acting on bylaws revisions
/ The big issue was the legislation
committees proposal that the 400
delegates back a $500 increase in
the States minimum wage for
teachers. This would raise the
figure to $2.7OO.
The legislation committee is
headed by Mrs. Wells Harrington,
OF University Park, Prince Georges
County.
+ Would Increase Vice Presidents.
Bylaw revision proposals would
increase the number of State vice
presidents from nine to 10 and
give the local PTAs equal repre-
sentation at State conventions Cf
one delegate for every 100 mem
bers. The rules now call for the
larger PTA groups to have fewer
delegates in proportion to their
size.
Last night E. Preston Sharp,
chief of the division of training
schools for the State Department
OF Public Welfare. told the dele
gates a new pattern of Juvenile
delinquency was springing up,
especially among the girls. \
/ We're getting more cases Of
excessive emotional disturbances,
he said. Girls who are committed
to detention smash their fists
through every window they can
reach. They are filled with a
terrible desire to let loose the
hatred they feel for adults"
He said the best cure for this
was to put more affection into the
children's lives.
The formal announcement of
the results of election of officers
will be announced during the day,

mality since none of the candi-
dates was opposed.

matters certainly not criminal.

Asks Close Accounting.
The QUESTIONABLE calls for a
mass of detail on income, spend
ing, insurance, taxes, property, re-
lationships and cash transactions.
1t requires a close accounting of
these details dating back through
1945.
One question, for example, asks
for. wife's name, occupation, en-
ployer, social security number and
gross salary and take home pay
for the past six years. Another
asks amounts spent for groceries
during the same period.
Question No. Is requires a list
ing of all children and calls for
an estimate of how much it cost
each year to put them through
school, including tuition, books
and other costs.

Omnibus Fund Bill
Defended by Cannon;
Savings Angle Cited
By j A. OLenry

BY continuing to handle the
Federal budget in more than a
dozen departmental bills Con-
greSs is following the horse-and-
buggy methods of the last CEN
tury. Chairman Cannon of the
House Appropriations Committee
charged today
In a supplement of the Congress
Slonal Record. just issued, Mr.
Cannon defended the single-pack-
age appropriation bill, which Con-
gress abandoned after a one-year
try in 1850. He said every major
nation and every State uses the
consolidated budget procedure.
Says Arguments DiSprOved.
MI. Cannon said the record of
the past session disproved the
two arguments raised against the
omnibus bill. These arguments
were that it delayed enactment of
appropriations until after the
start OF the fiscal year, and failed
to save as much money as the
separate bill procedure.
In reply. Mr.. Cannon pointed
out that last year the omnibus bill
was completed on August %. This
year not a single separate bill was
finished before August 9. he de-
clared. and some of the bills were
not sent to the White House un-
til October.
Cites Amount of Savings.
On the economy issue, MI. Cam
non said the omnibus bill of 1850
carried a total reduction of s per
cent below estimates. Leaving out
defense funds, the saving was 90
per cent, he said.
This year, with more than a
dozen bills. the overall saving was
only 2.7 per cent, and the reduc-
ton on other than defense items,
was 6.3 per cent.
A return to the omnibus bill is
only one of several budget pro-
cedure reforms that may be con-
sidered in January.
