Ruling 10 Be Sought
On White Teachers
For Negro Schools

A ruling on the legality Of as.
signing white teachers to WASH
Iington's Negro public schools viii
be sought by school officials.
Walter N. Tobriner. new school
board member proposed the In
quiry yesterday. He planned to
ask the board today to study the
possibility.
Mr.. Tobriner's suggestion came
after Supt. Hobart M. Corning re-
ported the Negro schools will be
short lit teachers next fall. Tho
white schools have q surplus. in
terms of prescribed pupil-teacher
ratio.
The Negro teacher shortage will
amount to nine in the senior
highs, So in the junior highs and
SIS in the elementary schools, DR..
Corning said.
Find Transfers May Help.
The total may be cut somewhat
by last-minute transfers of teach
Ter salary funds, he said, but he
added such transfers will be limit
ed.
Mr.. Tobriner asked the super
|intendent at a Personnel Commit
tee meeting whether he thought
lit would be feasible to transfer
teachers from the white to the
Negro schools on a voluntary and
temporary basis.
DIR. Corning said q ruling by
Corporation Counsel Vernon e.
West would be necessary.

member. supported Mr.. Tobrin-
Ier's suggestion Mrs. Velma @.

proposal last year, but it was NOT
acted on.

DR.. James A. Cannon remarked
about the inquiry:

Mr.. Hamilton suggested the
committee act Immediately. but
Board President c. Melvin Sharpe
said the move would be out of
order since 1t wasn't on the days
agenda.
Mr.. West. asked about the idea.
said he couldn't give an opinion
without study.
Mr.. Sharpe told q reporter he
doubted that the appropriation
acts for teachers salaries would
permit the transfers. Funds are
authorized separately for white
and Negro teachers, he said.

though Gen. Reckord did not say
in so many words, the Inference
was that the top-flight defense
personnel officials were bent on
channeling all Of the youth Of
the country into the military
forces by way Of the draft.
There is no inducement now,
the General continued, for young
men within the draft age 1imita-
tions to voluntarily join a mill
tary organization such as the Ma
tional Guard. Men in this group,
If they enlist, are drawn right out
of their units if their draft num-
bers come up. The only protec-
ton now provided Is for young
men between the ages of II and
1914 years.

Cities Use Caution in
F|uoridatinq Wafer

A special House committee rec
commended today that American
cities use caution in deciding
whether to add f1uoride to drink
ing water as a way Of reducing
tooth decay.
The committee said a reason
able" alternative to adding flu
oridated drinking water on the
aged or chronicaIly i'll.
The concentrations came from
the Special House Committee on
Chemicals in Food, headed by
Representative Delaney of New
York. The committee held con-
troversial hearings on fluoridation
of water from February 13 to
March s. Since then. the Dis
trict has started fiuoridating its
water.
Unanimous Approval.
The warning of caution was
approved by all seven members
of the committee, but Represent
ative Miller. Republican of Ne
braska, prepared a seperate report
suggesting delay in huoridation.
The committee said 1t was es-
sential for all facts about fluorida-
ton be made public land an op-
portunity given to the people Of
each community to decide for
themselves whether they desire to
assume, at this time, the calcu-
lated risk inherent Id the pro-

The District started fiuoridation
without any public hearings.
The unanimous report said "a

"The committee believes that If
communities are to make a mis-
take in reaching a decision on
whether to fiuoridate their public
drinking water" the report said,
''it is preferable to err on the
side of caution.
This would seem to be particu-
1arly true since there are reason
able alternatives to fluoridating
the public water supply even if
these alternatives are not quite as
effective.

children's teeth for the period

yond a reasonable doubt that no

the population by reason on the

Local Problem.
The committee said that the de-
cision on f1uoridating public water
sis essentially a local problem to
be determined for itself by each
community"
'Your committee is not recon-
mending that Federal legislation

port said. "The committee strong

DC. Budget Estimates
For 81 Hit Record
High Of $50 Million

Faced with budget estimates ap-
preaching an all-time high of $3.50
million for fiscal 1854. District
budget officials were casting a cold
eye on Government department
heads.
What disconcerts them Is that
the estimates exceed. by nearly SIS
million, the total Of the needs orig
inally estimated for 1858. This is
true despite a per cent increase
ceiling imposed by the budget Of
flee on the operating expenses OF
all departments.
While the ceiling on operating
expenses has been observed, the
agency chiefs have gone all-out or
their estimates for capital outlay
on which no limitation was set.
They've thrown in everything
but the kitchen sink" one exas-
perated official declared yesterday
TITS ridiculous. They know thai
only so much money will be ap-
propriated. and they know that
most of their requests haven't got
IA chance"
Can Say They Asked.
The apparent reason for the all
out tactic of the departments j:
an unwillingness to let 1t be said
well. they can't say we didn't
ask for the money" one observer
surmised.
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler
made it plain from the outset that
the S per cent ceiling was fixed
in the interests of speed. The
Federal Budget Bureau ordered
the District to have its estimates
ready ahead of the usual time this
year. Mr.. Fowler explained that
since the operating expense esti-
mates take more time to analyze
the ceiling was applied there
rather than to capital outlay.
Reducing capital outlay esti-
mates is simply a matter Of cut
ting off the items Of least pri-
ority," Mr.. Fowler said.
But while speed was Of es-
sence this year. the budget Officer
said that the ceiling idea shoult
have gone into effect many years
ago.
Aids Realistic Figures.
1--WE have no purpose tt
muzzle any department by i'm.
posing a limitation on the esti.
mates" he said. Besides, they
can send up reams Of hopes any
time they want"
But. he added. q ceiling doe.

operations cost down to a more
realistic basis this year than II
any year in the past" Mr.. Fowler
said.
after all. we are on a pay-as.
you-go basis. so we may as vel
stick within our financial limits.
He would not comment or
whether this statement applied
to the repeatedly sky-rocketins
capital outlay estimates received
for 1854. Nor would he verify the
reported total Of $190 million.
Mr.. Fowler emphasized thai
the imposition Of ceilings on. de.
partment heads in preparing thu
1854 estimates was not intended
|as q precedent to be followed II
the future. He said further thai
1t does not mean that ceiling.

Army's Draft
Method Check
Asked By Rep.

ST. LOUIS Up - Rep. Thomas
B. Curtis (R-Mo.) has requested
an investigation of the Army'S
draft methods in protest to the
induction of can ordinary citizen
who had a broken back" while
baseball star Mickey Mantle was
rejected:
Curtis, in a statement released
here yesterday, said he had asked
for an inquiry into the "consis-
tency" of the Amy's system in
letter to Secretary of the Army
Frank Pace Jr.
The Missouri congressman did
not identify the inductee who had
suffered the back injury other than
to say he was a St.Louis man
drafted last January and now serv-
ing at a New Jersey Army base.
And while referring to the much
publicized Mantle case, Curtis said
he was not criticizing the young
New York Yankee centerfielder.
He probably took his chances
with the draft like anybody else"
said Curtis.
The 21-year-old Mantle was re.
jected only recently after a long
series Of draft examinations. He
was found to have a chronic kenee
injury.
Mantle is married and Is sup
porting his widowed mother, three
brothers and a sister.
Curtis said that since requesting

Likes to Cook in off Duty Hours OF German Printers
BY the Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, Dec.
10.-The nation-w wide strike of
West German printers appeared
crumbling today, despite the fail
Iure of compromise negotiations.
The truce talks collapsed early
this morning after an all-night
session. The printers union re-
jected a compromise offer of
"a pfennigs C1.67 cents) increase
in their hourly wage, instead of
the 10 pfennigs (2.38 cents) raise
they demand.
However, the union announced
lit would approve local agreements
with individual newspapers if
workers received the full 10 pfen-
|nigs hike.
Many newspapers. including
most of those in the big port city
of Hamburg. promptly granted
the 10 pfennigs on q temporary
local basis and resumed publica-
ton. There were indications that
others would follow suit.
These local agreements still left
the permanent wage rate to be
decided by nationwide negotia-
tions. The old rate was 1855
marks (39.5 cents) an hour.
The four r-day-old strike had
shut down most of West Ger

Egg producers will be interested
in the following points evident
from the study.
1. There is less breakage when
eggs are gathered more than once
a day.
2. Fewer eggs are cracked when
20 or more nests are provided for
every 100 hens. Feeding oyster
shells also helps.
3. More eggs are cracked when
washed with water than when
cleaned with an emory cloth.
4. Eggs packed in new or good
cases. with new filters and flats are
less apt to be damaged in ship
ment.
s. Factors such as feeding grit,
type of nesting material, and time
of hatch had no influence on the
amount Of breakage.
