Interpretation of
Education Bill is
Cause of Comment
Edwards Says Bill Would Follow
Procedure OF Previous
Years

Interpretation of the Education
Bill, House Bill 610, which would in
crease the salaries of teachers, has
been varied during the past week,

the bill declaring that it actually
doesn't mean what the words say.
The difference in the interpreted

not the funds for the raise, should
the bill pass, would come from the
county or from state funds.
Clause in the bill declares, "The
County Commissioners of each county
and the Mayor and City Council of
Baltimore shall levy sufficient funds
to meet the schedule of salaries here
in established"
The schedule of salaries was a fiat

being $1,000 for teachers without a
degree, holding first grade OF higher
certificate, for the first year Of service
with 500 increase each year up to
$4,100; and the minimum of $2,700
for teacher with a degree, for the

FOR ASSAULT
Victim Is In Oakland Hospital
With Three Knife Wounds
In Back

Sheriff Paul W. Fisher today
charged Wesley Fike, q, of Vindcx,
with assault upon Clarence McRobic,
as the result of an alteration on the

McRoLie, about 30 years of age, is
patient in Garrett County Memorial

ported as fair. DR.. James F'easter told
authorities that the man was stabbed
three times in the back, in all prob

hunting knife. One of the wounds
glanced off the mans ribs and cut
glancing blow under the skin for
distance of about eight inches, he
said. Another cut was about six inches
in length, and the third wound was
small, the doctor said.
Piecing the story together after
the questioning, Sheriff Fisher said
apparently McRobie had gone to Kitz-
miller with three women who were
identified by authorities as Miss Hazel
Fike, Edna Sharpless Nogle and Elsie
Tasker. They hitch-hiked a ride most
Of the way back to VindeX and were
walking along the road near the Fike

Adams, VindeX resident, and Sewers
called the sheriff. Fisher and his
deputy, Jack Frantz, took McRobie

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 n R - rife Senate voted 77-11 today to wipe out the tax exemption on eX- pense allowances of the President, Vice President and members cf Congress, effective Jan. 3, 1853.
 The amendment, described by its sponsors as in effect @ salary cut, was tackled on to a bill to increase taxes an estimated s550oOO0,o00 q year. The bill calls for an Il per cent boost in income taxes for most persons.

 The amendment is not ln the House-passed $7,2OO,oOO000 tax in crease bill and thus would be subject to action in conference between the two branches.

 Pago Pago pronounced Pango Pango), is the capital of American Samoa on the island of Tutuila, and for the first time is opening it's gates to tourists. The information came from Richard A. Greer, secre- tary of the Samoa Visitors Commit tee.
 B. F. Dunn, district traffic and sales manager here for PAA and on the board of directors for the en- bryonic Alaska Visitors Association, pointed out contrasts and compari- sons between the two countries.
 like Alaska, Samoa is lacking in facilities to accommodate large numbers of visitors at the same time, but recognizes the value of a visitors association" Dunn said. @It also is served by PAA through con- nections at 6uva. However PAA has made application for a direct flight to Pago Pago.
 "Visas with pass ports are required for this South Sea port, while none are needed for Alaska. Travel and living costs are similar. However the government of American Sa- moa asks visitors to show return tickets or make deposit covering the cost of a return ticket. This is to prevent optimists from becom- ing stranded in the hopes of liv- ing off bananas and breadfruit, Al aska has no such provision" Dunr said.
