Fund Cut Threat
|mpaiirs Morale,
Corning Says
Schools Head Urges
Prompt Action to
End Uncertainty

Supt. Of Schools Hobart M.
Corning said today the possibility
of 10 per cent cut in personnel
funds is having a "very definite
effect" on the morale of all
teachers.
This uncertainty and unrest
impairS the morale and efficiency
of the teachers" he said. DIR.
Corning added that the feeling of
insecurity is not limited to the
temporary or substitute teachers
who may have to be dismissed.
DR.. Corning urged quick action
by a Senate House conference to
resolve the issue one way or the
other.
The Senate and House con-
ferees will have to iron out diff
ferences, between a House-pasSed
supplemental appropriation bill.
and one passed by the Senate.
The House measure calls for
q 10 per cent cut in funds needed
to pay Federal employees during
the rest of the fiscal year. The
Senate bill exemptS District agen-
cies from having to replan their
present budgets.
Warns of DismissaIs.
DR.. Corning has warned that if
the 10 per cent cut is ordered, as
many as so temporary teachers
will have to be dismissed now,
and more dismissed before or at
the end of the school year. Use
of substitute teachers would be
sharply curtailed.
The school superintendent, at
his weekly news conference, said
many permanent teachers are
upset because the wholesale dis
misSalS would mean doubled-up
classes, pupil shifts and a vast
amount of extra work for the
teachers.
He said such cut in a budget
under which the school system al
ready was operating was without
recent precedent. He said that
if Congress makes it necessary to
discharge some temporary teach
ers before the end Of the school
year, it may have some effect on
teacher-recruiting next fall.
Comments on Committee.
When asked if he had any fur
ther comment on a proposal that
the Board of Education be set up
as a special committee to "over-
see" his administration, DIR. Corn
ing said:
II have found no evidence in
any city of the existence Of any
committee for such a purpose. In
some places, the Board of Educa-
tion can sit as a Committee of the
Whole but in no instance is this
special committee set up for a
designated purpose"
In his previously expressed op-
position to the plan, DR.. Corning
said he was against it for profess
sional, not personal, reasons.
"This proposal. if adopted, would
become part Of the rules Of the
board" he added today. "It would
be applicable to all superintend-
ents Of the future-not just to the
incumbent"
The boards Rules Committee
voted Tuesday to recommend the
special committee be organized.
