A proposal for a new salary
schedule for teachers has been sub
n.itted to the Board of Education
by the Montgomery County Educa-
ton Association, according to Miss
Katherine B. Greaney, president.
Under the proposal, salaries for
teachers without degrees would be
So, 500-S4, 700, the maximum to be
reached in IL years; Bachelors de-
gree So, 400-S5 800, maximum to be
reached in IL years; Masters de-
gree $3,600-S6,00 maximum to be
reached in 10 years.
At hte present time, % percent
of Montgomery County teachers re-
ceive less than $3,255; so percent
receive under 1890; rs percent
receive under $4,830. These figures
include salaries of principals.
A survey recently conducted by
the Association among the teach
ers of the county shows that Alb
percent must supplement tn e r
teaching salary. Of these, 3O.2 per-
cent are gainfully employed outside
of school only during the two sum-
mer months; III percent are en-
ployed outside of school hte year
round.
An additional 81 percent receive
supplementary assistance (fr e
board or room) from friends and
relatives other than spouse. 432
percent have a spouse gainfully
employed in order to maintain a
home.
''The shortage of teachers, es-
pecially those trained for elemen-
tary schools, makes it necessary to
offer a beginning salary that will
attract young people to the pro-
fession," Miss Greaney says. "The
schools also feel strongly the need
for attracting men into the pro-
fession."
Current salaries for county
teachers are: teachers with no de-
gree, $2,520-S4,410, maxi m m
reached in 10 years; Bachelors de-
gree, S2,520-$4,410, m ak m m
reached in 18 years. Those with
Masters degree receive $3.50
So, IT'S, maximum reached after 81
years service. These figures include
the 5 percent bonus recently grant
ed, retroactive to February 1.

mended to the Board of Education

vide means by which concerns
can produce newsprint as neces-
sary to protect and preserve the
last guardians of the American
free press the independent
weekly newspaper.
OF course, those who control
the newsprint supply do not want
independent competition spring
ing up, so the Defense Produc-
ton Administration took action,
to block any constructive action.
y
1t is not presumed that any
one in DPA will ever be found
to have received deep freezers
or mink coats because Of this ac-
ton. But the very language of
the DPA report on the subject
shows that biggest "rubes" in
the world are bureaucrats.
y Il
The Senate Small Business
Committee has found that the
nations 5000 weekly newspapers
use between a and So of the
newsprint supply while the gov
eminent alone uses IL.
But DPA reports as follows:
"There is a growing number of
weekly newspapers in the United
States competing for available
newsprint. This group, consists
mostly of religious, labor and
fraternal publications, and con-
sumeS about three per cent.
Thus, officials of the DPA went
on record as not knowing what
makes the nation run.
n Il Il
Briefly, and airily they dismiss
the importance of the 5000 Amer
lean weekly newspapers of gen.
eral circulation that reach more
than 15,O0O,O0O homes, and are
read by more than a third of the
entire national population.
1t Is easy to see how monopoly
can pull the wool over eyes of
bureaucrats as stupid as these.
Perhaps their stupidity makes
these officials think the news
print being given to TitO's Yugo-
slavia is being used for a free
press.

DPA Bulletin No. ITO reports
five big newsprint firms have re-
ceived certificates for rapid am
ortization of building costs for
new production facilities.
But in the next sentence, the
report says nothing will happen
in the near future, because no
priorities are planned at this
time for construction Of news
print plants. DPA uses a large
quantity Of scarce newsprint to
announce nothing will be done.
Washington observers point to
this "ring-around-the-rosy" ac-
ton by DPA as another example
how bureaucrats are led around
by the nose when the interests
Of small business are concerned.
The U. s. newsprint supply is
closely controlled by a small
group, and to meet the sh0rtag-
es, this group has continuously
raised prices threatening the ex-
istence of weekly newspapers.
But many things have thrown a
scare into the firms controlling
newsprint supply. One is that

The Last Baseball Lap

The major league baseball races move into
their final fortnight with pair Of perennial
paper favorites-the New York Yankees and the
Brooklyn Dodgers leading the packs.
AS was the case last year, the Yankees get
toughest when the heat Is on and their Sunday
victory over the Cleveland Indians may have
been crucial" In more ways than the merry
sounds Of the box Office: The Dodgers appear
to have the September shakes" again but the
Giants muffed couple Of weekend big ones
that might have left the Brooklyn athletes In
much greater jeopardy. None Of the leading
contenders meet each other again-unless they
need . play-of-so the top clubs have real
advantage with only few games left.
The Mats, meanwhile, are still In the running
for third place and have good reason to feel In
any case, that they have given good account
OF themselves this year. It has been the sound-
est club washington has fielded in several years
and little trading next winter might make it
even tougher.

Probably imagination in picture taking,

an innate sense Of the picturesque more
than anything else. Some fine tech
nical photographers would admit that
they have no more real picture sense
than rabbits. The qualities of photog-

solely those Of the imagination in action.

have sought to inltrate educational institutions.
And investigations in New York City and else
where have disclosed that they have met with
some degree of success. As result, the Ma
tional Education Association and other teachers
groups have given strong support to the drive
against communism In the schools. The target

Communists in the Schools

Dr. Bella Dodd's testimony before the Senate
Internal Security subcommittee In New York
shows why efforts to eliminate Communist
teachers from the schools should be thorough
and persistent. DR.. Dodd formerly was member
of the Communist Party's national executive
committee and also formerly was legislative rep
resentative Of the New York Teachers Union.
which she declared was Communist-dominated
She was expelled by the Communist Party in
194s for fascist" activities. She told the Fergu
son subcommittee that there were. at that time
about $500 card-carrying Communists among
the Nations teachers. About 75O OF these were
in New York City, she testified.
Although the number Of Communist teachers
was relatively small, compared to the total
strength of the teaching profession, DR.. Dodd
stressed that the influence welded by the sub
versive group was far beyond their numerical
proportion. There were effective Red cells on
the faculties of some of the countrys leading
colleges and universities, she said. AS teacher
at Hunter, she said, she had influenced many"
of her students to become Communists. There

Expect the Unexpected

Local traffic authorities have good sugges-
ton for motorists, coincident with the reopening
Of schools It is: Expect the unexpected" when
driving on streets near schools or Fairgrounds
or anywhere else that children are likely to be
encountered.
Analysis of traffic accidents involving chill
dren has shown that boys and girls can be relied
on to do the most surprising-and risky-things
in the public streets. OF the seven children who
have been killed by automobiles so far this year,
six died from their own carelessneSS, according
to official investigators. Four of these darted
into the street and into the path of automobiles
or trucks before the drivers could apply their
brakes One was injured fatally while trying TO
hop onto the running board of a moving car
One was astride his bicycle and trying to hitch
q ride on moving truck.
During the same period more than 1000
children were injured, as compared with 908
who were injured in traffic accidents for the
similar period of 1851 Many of these injuries
resulted from thoughtless, impulsive acts by the
children. For the country as q whole the sta
tistics last year regarding child victims of traffic
were appalling. Nearly TOO children were killed
and more than 5000 injured while playing on
the street. Most of the $40 pedestrians killed
while emerging from behind parked cars were
children. More than 800 children under IA were
killed while riding bicycles.
Safety authorities are convinced that many
of these young people might be living today had
motorists been driving more cautiously in poten-.
tial danger zones. Schools are doing good job
of teaching elementary principles of traffic safety
to the children, but young minds cannot be
depended on to adhere to these principles at all
times. Their elders cannot afford to relax vgi-
lance while driving where children may do the
unexpected.

Political BluckmuiI'

In politics nothing is more futile than
refusing to bury the dead. Jay Henry
in his letter Of September z, insists upon
resurrecting Taft's defeated candidacy
for the Republican presidential nomina-
tion.
This constant threat Of political black
mail by bitter-enders. however. must be
q diSservice to Taft. For "Mr. Republi-
can" to refuse to accept the mandate Of
his party implies unbelievable contempt
Of party loyalty. responsibility and dis
cipline.
Taft never has been guilty Of giving
aid and comfort to his political opposi-
ton. We do not believe him capable of
such treachery and disloyalty in this
present hour Of fateful decision. There
fore, there is no point in bribing Col.
McCormick's or Jay Henry's threat of
suicide. II their only alternative is a
political nest unfouled by their own false
accusations, then neither malcontent
has place to lay his head.
