Lack ofQuorum Delays
House Groups Action
On Park Planners
By Harold B. Roqers

Legislation to revise the Ma
|tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission was delayed today for
lack of a quorum at a meeting
of the House District Committee
Committee Chairman McMil-
Ian said he would bring up the
bill again at a special meeting of
his unit 10 am. Tuesday.
The measure which would set
up a new and comprehensive
method for better coordination
of planning development in the
metropolitan area had been ap-
proved unanimously by District
subcommittee.
Support for the measure had
been voiced without a single OBJ
lection by all witnesses at a re-
cent subcommittee hearing.
Committee officials did not an
nounce who blocked the bill, but it
was learned that the member who
made the point Of no quorum was
Representative Miller. Republican.
of Nebraska.
Before the point Of no quorum
was made, however, the committed
approved q Senate-passed bill to
increase the fees for re-examina-
tion Of accountants by the District
Board Of Accountancy from $40
to $40
The controversial bill to amend
the District law regulating optom-
etrists is still being held in a
District subcommittee, the full
committee was told today.

Senate Moves 10 Extend
Rent Control in District

The congressional decision on
extension of District rent control
may be influenced by a Senate
vote yesterday, extending national
rent curbs to next February %.
The Senate action came on an
amendment to the pending meas
ure to extend defense production
controls.
Hanging fire on both sides of
the Capitol, and awaiting further
action on Federal rent control ex-
tension. is legislation to keep
curbs here for another year from
June 30.
The House District Committee
has the local bill before it, after
approval by one of its subcom-
mittees.
A Senate District subcommittee
has completed hearings on the
local issue but has not yet for
mally sent the measure to the
full committee.
Both District units apparently
are awaiting further action by
Congress on the national prob
lem before deciding what to dc
for the District.
In the past, Congress has ex-
tended controls in this city to the
same date fixed for the rest ot
the Nation.
The House Banking Committee
has completed hearings on its
bill to extend the defense produc-
ton law and rent controls. The
committee plans to meet early
next week to take action.

Paul Webster Powell, rs, of
Greenbelt. Md. was killed in
stantly this morning when his
automobile was struck by train

powered by two locomotives. could
be brought to a stop.
George Boyer. mail clerk at the

Schools Unit Approve!
Higher Salary Scales
For D. T.. Teachers

A proposal to raise salaries of
District public school teachers yes
terday moved one step further
along the long road to realization.
The Board of Education person.
mel and legislation committees ap-
proved the new salary scales
recommended by School Supt.
Hobart M. Corning. In so doing,
however. the committees made
several major changes.
DR.. Corning had recommended
that his own salary be raised from
$4,000 to $4,000 over a period
of five years. Adelbert w. Lee,
School Board vice president. said
this was too much money and
pointed out the District Com
missioners get less than DR..
Corning does now.
Settle on S17,5OO
The board members decided that
a Jump to $17.500 would be suffi-
cient to keep the superintendent's
salary in line with those of other
school officers. This $17.5O0 would
be attained at the rate of $7OO a
year for five years.
The board members then voted
that teachers should be allowed to
progress from the bottom of the
pay scale to the top in seven years.
It now takes them is years to
make the top salary. DR.. Corning
had recommended this be dropped
to IL years for teachers, and seven
for school officers.
The board members fixed the
progression rate for officers at five
years.
$500 Maximum Asked.
The proposed schedule calls for
starting salaries of $500 for
teachers, with a maximum of
S., 900. The present rate is $3,300
to $4,763.
DR.. Corning said his proposal
would add about 81 million to the
school payroll. once the whole
scale was put into effect.
The road to approval is long.
After the full School Board ap-|
proves the new salaries, they must
go to the Commissioners, who hold
the fiscal purse strings. Then theyI
will 60 to the Budget Bureau, the
and eventually to Con-
gress.

The District gasoline tax will
jump from 4 to S cents on July /,
under legislation signed by Pres
ident Truman yesterday.
he increase was requested by
the District Commissioners.

the District. Maryland and Vir-
ginia, in cooperation with the
Federal Bureau Of Public Roads.
This indicated that the District
would need more than 500 million
In highway funds in the next five

Russell backers Lead
Alexandra Delegates
To State Convention

Russell supporters dominate the
20-member Alexandria delegation
to the State Democratic conven-
ton.
The Alexandria delegates were
chosen last night at a mass meet
ing in the George Mason School.
All 16 persons listed on the Rus
sell sample ballot were victorious
when the lis ballots had been
counted. Three of those on the
Russell list also appeared on a
ballot passed out by Kefauver
supporters. Names Of the other
four victorious delegates appeared
only on the Kefauyer sample
ballot.
The mass meeting decided to
send the delegation uninstructed
and not governed by a unit rule.
The only way a unit rule now can
be imposed is by unanimous vote
of the entire delegation, party
leaders said.
Armistead L. Boothe, member
|of the House of Delegates and one
of the victorious delegates, was
among those who urged that the
delegation go uninstructed. He
said he hopes the State Demo-
cratic Convention will send an
unlnstructed delegation to the
national convention in Chicago.
Mr.. Boothe was one of the dele
gates whose names appeared on
both the Russell and Kefauver
ballots.
Those participating in the meet
ing were required to sign a pledge
that they had supported Demo-
cratic candidates in the last pre-
ceding general election in which
they participated and would sup
port all Of the Democratic NOM
inees In the next general elec-
tion.
In Alexandria. the next general
election is on Tuesday. The seven
Democratic nominees for council
are opposed by four Republicans.
The mass meeting went on rec
ord in favor Of omitting the word
white" from that portion Of the
party plan specifying what per-
sons may be members. Although
the party plan states that mem
pership in the Democratic Party
is open to white persons. party
primaries for many years have
been open to Negroes.
The convention also saw the
of a silver tray to
Representative Smith for 10 years
service to Alexandria. in Offices
ranging from town councilman to
of Congress.
