NEA Finds ShorfaQe
OF Teachers Critical
And Growing Worse

: The National Education AS.
Soclation yesterday re~o~te1 ~.
, shortage of teachers has grown
more critical, Win olny ava,
$4,000 in training now to meet g
demand for some 100000 new
teachers by the end of this year
The teacher situation was out
lined by DR.. Willard E. Givens
Executive secretary of the NEA
and DR.. Ray c. Maui, research
associate of the National Commits
sion on Teacher Education and
Professional Standards, as the
MEAS fifth annual report on the
problem was released. The study
was made under the direction of
DR.. Maui.
The teacher shortage exists in
the elementary field. High schools
are in much better shape. In
Washington. the situation was de-
scribed as fairly good, however.
DR.. Maui said the 1852 supply
lof candidates for high school
teaching positions totals more
than $4,000 to meet a demand for
$4,000. But, in the elementary
field the picture is different.
Needs Expand Quickly.
"The American public" he de-
Iclared, "faces a new task in pro-
viding free elementary and high
school education to all children.
For a quarter of century this
task remained the same size, as
regards the number of children
involved. Now, in just a few
years. it is expanding fully SO
per cent.
I'm 1947, a total of 1.3 million
more children were born than in
1910. Each year since 1947, the
total births have been fully SO
per cent over 1910. The 1851
births made a new all-time high.
being So per cent over 1910.
In an 11-year period 194O to
195D the total number of chill
dren under II years of age has
increased almost 10 million.
Where the total elementary school
population in 1916 was 20 million
it will be 80 million in 1883"
The survey showed that the de-
mand for 100000 new elementary
teachers this year comes about
this way: Sixty thousand are
needed to replace those who dis
continue teaching each year, TO-
600 are needed to relieve over
crowding. 10000 are needed to
meet the increased elementary
school enrolment expected in Sep
tember and 10000 are needed for
teachers now in schools who are
so woefully undertrained that
their retention in service while
being upgraded cannot be justi-
fed
Blames Shortage on Pay.
pr Givens said that the basic
reason for the teacher shortage
is "the dollar"
"Salares are just too low to
attract the college graduates" he
said.
The survey suggested several
steps as move in the direction of
clearing up the teacher shortage.
These include raising the stand
ards required of teachers, making
working conditions and pay at
tractive to keep those now in
teaching, avoiding certifying of
emergency teachers, getting par
entS to recruit teachers by in
f1uencing their children to enter
the profession and converting
teachers trained for other fields
to the elementary fields.
The District was cited as an ex-
ample of a place where high stand
ards have resulted in a good
teaching corps and not too much
trouble in recruiting new teachers.

the same dining room which serves
hospital employees.
They complained they often had
to wait overly long to be served
when their presence was needed
in the wards. Complaints also
were made about a period when
food was served under unsanitary
conditions.
When DR.. Stebbing offered to
see the quality of their food was
improved "even if we have to cut
down a bit on the patients" a
loud chorus Of mo. no" filed the
room.
Spokesman for the group told
a reporter they failed to see why
their food allowance was rs cents
a day, although the allowance at
Glenn Dale Sanitorium-another
District institution-was $1.25 q
day.
Hospital officers offered to allow
the Intern Resident Association
the official body making the pro-
test, to appoint an "of1cer-of-
the-day" to make reports in writ
ing on the quality of the food each
day. The quantity allowed also
was criticized.
Pay Issue Secondary.
Staff members said the pay Is
sue was strictly a secondary one
but was being raised as long as
all the other issues were being
aired. They pointed out interns
at Freedmen's Hospital. which is
administered by the Federal Sc
curity Agency, get about $500 q
year. At Gallinger, intern pay Is
5000.
They said Public Law $50 au-
thorizes the Commissioners to pay
up to $1,560 year to interns. DR.
Seckinger confirmed this.
Spokesman complained that
with many hospitals raising intern
salaries, medical school graduates
would be unwilling to accept low
pay plus bad living conditions,
despite the wealth of clinical ma
terial and the varied teaching pro-
gram at Gallinger.
Many interns pointed out they
would finish their training this
summer, so they would not benefit
from any pay raise.

On the question of population
density, one of the considerations
zoning authorities had in mind
when they framed the regulations.
Mr.. Wilson said that a couple Of

Recorder Office Feud
Cited in Plea 10 Fill
Vacant Post Soon
By Don S. Warren

Reports of personal "feuds" ir
the Office of District recorder o1
deeds was advanced yesterday as
reason why the Senate District
Committee should act promptly
on President Truman's nomina-
ton of a new recorder.
His nominee is Early Wayne
Beck, colored, a political friend
from the Presidents days as
chairman of the jackson County
Court (Commission in Missouri
Capitol Hill sources have re-
ceived several indications, it was
learned, of bureaucratic strife
within the recorders Office, partic-
ularly since the Rev. Marshall l.
Shepard resigned the post last
summer to run for election as re-
corder in Philadelphia, a race he
won.
| One of the complaints reaching
Capitol Hill was that a veteran
employe had been fired. He was
advised to await final action on a
new recorder.
None of this. Capitol Hill
sources were advised, was to be
taken as a drive to force con-
firmation of Mr.. Beck. There
was only reasonable concern over
the operation of the recorders
Office behind the reports.
The District Committee late in
the past session of Congress twice
withheld confirmation of Mr..
Beck. partly because of his at
titude when he testified before
the committe, and partly because
he had resigned under fire as
superintendent of the Jackson
County Home for Negro Boys and
Girls.
He had been charged with poor
administration and with mis-
treatment of inmates of the home.
The District Committee last
December sent two agents to
Kansas City to check into Mr..
Beck's background and they are to
confer soon to draft a joint re-
port Of their inquiry. They are

District Urged 10 End
Limit on Number Of
Floors in Buildings

The Commissioners Building
Code Advisory Committee has
come out for amending the zoning
regulations in such fashion as to
permit more floors in buildings
here.
Deletion of limitations on the
number of structural stories-or
floors" - from the regulations
would incidentally enable compile
tion of the 18th floor of the new
Wyatt Building.
At present, only IL floors and
part Of the 13 may be COM
ipleted and occupied. This is
due to the fact that the regula-
tions now specify the downtown
building limit as "130 feet high,
or IL stories"
Height Now Within Rules.
The Wyatt Buildings height is
within the rules. and so is the
present top hoor-so long as it re-
mains only one-third finished In
its present incomplete state it fits
the definition of "mezzanine, and
II stories and a mezzanine are
acceptable.
But what the building owners
want is a full -fledged 18th floor
so they can collect $25. 900 more
in annual rentals. Moreover,
Washington needs as much Office
space as it can get.
BY removing all references to
number of stories from the
regulations. Wyatt would get its
desired floor and Washington
builders could look forward to
having the right to squeeze one
or two more stories into future
structures.
The various coming district
heights in footage are 40. so, 80,
ITO and 100.
More Economical Use.
A. Hamilton Wilson, chairman of
the advisory committee. explained
yesterday that the proposed
changes would enable builders toI
make more economical use of
their structures.

Although texts are being pub
lished all the time on medical
advances, the new acquisitions

The residents and interns also
had to appeal to the visiting staff
for funds to fix up>a small, barren
recreation room in one Of the liv-
ing quarters.
Among other complaints, the
staff listed the necessity of ar
intern spending an hour a day al
the infirmary of the Home for the
Aged and Inf1rm at Blue Plains
and the requirement they mus1
put in weekly pay slips listing 9
"40-hour week" no matter how
many hours they actually work.
To See Donohue.
DR.. Stebbing said the Blue
Plains service was a temporary
setup made necessary because the
regular visiting physician. DR.
Timothy O'Donovan. had gone in
to the Navy. He said the mislead-
ing figure required on the weekly
reports was an administrative
matter of which he had no knowl-
edge, but that he would abolish
the requirement..
The protest meeting with the
District and hospital officials was
held after several meetings of the
house staff itself.
AS a result, DR.. Seckinger and
DR.. Stebbing were in conference
Friday, although it is not known
what decisions were reached. DR.
Seckinger also promised to bring
the matter again to the attention
of Commissioner Donohue, who
