TEMPEST IN TEAPOT-As dis
closed here yesterday, it doesn't
make any difference to Govern
ment employees whether they gel
their retroactive pay before OF
after November /. The eventual
tax on it will be the same in either
case.
Until this column disclosed the
true facts yesterday. a lot OF Gov.
.ernment employees were 1ranticaliy
trying to get their back pay before
November l, when the new tax in.
crease goes into effect. There had
been stories elsewhere that. unless
the lump sum payment was made
before then, they would have t.
pay more taxes
However. Internal Bureau off,
Gals say 1t makes no difference
when the retroactive pay is re-
ceived. The tax on an employe' s
salary for the entire year will be
the same. It's true that employees
will be subjected to a slightly
larger tax bite at the time if they
receive the retroactive pay after
November /. but this will be made
up to them when they file theil
tax returns on March Is.
In other words, all Government
employees will have the same tax
rate on their retroactive pay, re-
gardless Of when they receive it.

Alexandra Deficit Threat

Alexandria city fathers today
are studying a financial statement
which indicates the city is spend
ing more than it budgeted for the
current year.
The report shows that about
s7l 900 in higher salaries, car and
parking lot rentals and court re-
modelling expenses which were not
anticipated when the budget was
adopted, must be paid. Mayor
Franklin P. Backus said the city
may not go into the red because
there are some items in the budget
that would not be fully expended
But he said a pinch-penny at
titude on the part of the city
council will be necessary for the
rest of the fiscal year.

I Commission officials say there is
no wording in the legislation to
make the promotion restrictions
retroactive. Therefore, the promo
ton restrictions will take effect
only when the measure is signed
into law.
Congress has banned perma-
,nent promotions and transfers for
another year and has also placed
added restrictions on even tem-
porary promotions, except in spe-
.cific cases. The exemptions were
listed here yesterday.
The commissions Interpretation
that the promotion restrictions on
temporary advancements are not
retroactive comes as good news
to thousands of Federal workers
promoted during the last four
months who were fearful their
promotions would be cancelled.
LEAVE-Many employees con-
tinue to be puzzled about the new
l3-to-26-days-a-year annual leave
system. 1t goes into effect next
January 6 for classified and postal
workers. For this year. classified
employees will receive 26 days an

School Board Invites
Parents 10 Discussion
On Core Controversy

Arlington parents have been in
vited by the County School Board
to a discussion of core" contro-
versial ninth-grade subject, at 8
pm. Monday in Stratford Junior
High School.
The County Circuit Court has
been asked to decide the legality
of the course, which combines
English and social studies.
James R. Miles. ST., of 1901
North Kirkwood road, a Navy
engineer and president of the
newly formed Arlington Forum
on Public Schools. has brought a
suit, charging that the course
places too heavy a work-load
on students. The organization he
heads has asked the school board
to eliminate the course.
Mr.. Miles is member of
the committee. headed by ROLAND
Stoebe, president of the Stratford
PTA, which planned the meeting.
Speakers will be c. Glenn Hass.
assistant superintendent in charge
OF instruction, and w. w. Rich.
supervisor of junior high school
education.
Forum to Follow.
A forum will follow the discus
sion, Mr.. HasS told the board at
its regular meeting at Stratford
last night.
In statement issued to news
papers early last week, Mr.. Miles
challenged a statement he at
tributed to Mr.. Early that the
State Board of Education had ap-
proved the course.
The boards motion. suggested
by DR.. Barnard Joy and approved
unanimously. said that the at
tack of Mr. Miles upon the super
lntendent is unfair and unjusti-
fed and the record should show
that his release tc the press was
incorrect.
Mr. Early asked Mr.. Miles. who
attended last nights meeting, for
an apology.
Apology Refused.
TO ask me to apologize Is 60
ing too far" Mr. Miles replied. He
insisted that he had reported the
superintendent's statement fairly
and said. Il refuse to apologize
If the implication is that I am
deliberately attributing untrue
statements to him"
Mr.. Early said he named two
representatives of the State De-
partment Of Education who have
advised him that the course is
In harmony with the State edu-
cation program.
The superintendent said his
earlier statement was that the
State Board had indicated ap-
proval of the course He explained.
however. that he had used the
term State Board" in referring
to the action of State admnistra-
tors just as Arlington residents
refer to the entire school admins
tratlon as the School Board"
In other business, the board
agreed, at the request Of Mr.. Early,
to protest to the State Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board renewal
of a license for the Wilson Tavern,i
which the superintendent said is
within 100 feet of the Maury Ele-
mentary School. $3.50 Wilson bou-
leVard.
Hearing Next Wednesday.
The superintendent said an ABC
hearing on the application is set
for 10 I'm. next Wednesday in
Alexandria Recreation Center,
1905 Cameron street.
Endorsement by the incumbent
Arlington delegation in the Cen
eral Assembly of a minimum
salary of S2,4O0 for certif1cated
teachers throughout the State was
announced by Mr.. Early.
Mr., Hass reported on a plan
for air-rald instructions and
drills. which has been distributed
