Teacher-PayB Bill Plan
BY the ASSoeioiOd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 13.-Gov
McKeldin today turned down
proposed changes to a teacher
pay bill, submitted by State
Senator Anders r. Lofstrand
Republican, of Montg ON cry
County, which will increase the
States share of the cost.
The Governor insisted on the
measure as 1t was originally
drawn, saying it was fair" TO
both State and county treas
urieS.
81 am opposed to any changes
that would throw a greater flnan-
cial burden on the State" the
Governor said after meeting with
a group of Senators.
Senator Malkus, Democrat, of
Dorchester County, headed a
finance subcommittee studying
amendments proposed by Sena-
tor Lofstrand.
The bill as drawn up by the
Green Commission would provide
teachers with raises up to $500
for the next several years. For
the first two years the State
would pay the difference between
what the teachers are actually
receiving and a new scale boost
ing the State-supported mini
mum from $4,000 to $4,000.
In 1855 it would support a
starting scale at $4,000.

By ChorIes g. Brooks

The Alec holic Beverage Con-
troll Board today called for i'm
mediate legislation to license
bottle clubs and bring them COM
pletely under its; jurisdiction.
Alan w. Payne. chairman Of
the board. declared that the
after-hours clubs should either
be brought into line or put out
of business for the protection Of
the public, particularly out-of-
town visitors to the District"
At present, the ABC Board
has no jurisdiction over bottle
clubs. But Mr.. Payne declared
its members acted today ION the
basis Of number Of conferences
IN the past with the police and
the Corporation Counsel"
Receiver for Picadilly.
Meanwhile, Federal Judge F.
Dickinson Let's appointed a
former Secret Service man, now
a practicing attorney, as receiver
Of the padlocked Picadilly Club,
1901 Fourteenth street NV.
He is John j. Fallon, who
served with the Treasury De-
partment for 10 years and before
that with the Massachusetts
State police. He will take oyer
all assetssof the club until a jury
determines whether the Picadilly
is q chartered club or a profit
making organization.
The boards action followed
the closing Of the Downtown
Club, 6O6 E street NV, by Judge
Let's with a permanent injunc-
ton. The u. S. District Court
for the District Of Columbia on
Wednesday also issued a preli-
minary Injunction, closing the

favored passage Of the bottle
club licensing section of the new

Mr.. Payne pointed out that his
group worked on the pending
legislation nearly two years ago
with the Corporation Counsel's
Office. The bill passed the House,
but the Senate failed to act. This
year, Representative Davis, Dem
ocrat. of Georgia and sponsor of
the act, reintroduced it in the
new Congress.
This week, Chairman Kearns
Of the House District subcom-
mittee on Public Service, indi-
Gated the bottle club section of
the bill-or one like it-may be

members who belong as individuals
rather than as members of any
group in which dues can be collect
ed. These members send their dues
directly to Group Hospital Service.
Because that agency has to do add
ed bookkeeping to keep records of
these dues payments, these mem
bers pay rates which are slightly
, higher than the group rates. The
] difference is "a cents a month.
A third type of membership is
held by members of community
groups. These were organized on a
community rather than on plant
or office basis. In Delaware, there
are 16 groups in Is different COM
munities, principally in Kent and
Sussex Counties. The group men,
bers pay their dues quarterly to a
bank, and the bank forwards the
payments to Group Hospital Serv-
ice. The bank is reimbursed by a
small charge to the member.
Group Hospital Service is going
to find out, in one part of the
study, how many community group
members work at places where
there are employee groups they
could belong to.
Another part of the study will
show whether or not membership
dues from community groups have
turned out to be sufficient to cover
the rising hospital costs and sur
geOn's fees which Group Hospital
Service has paid for members of
those groups. The agency Of course
knows that total membership dues
from all three types of members
together have been sufficient to
cover total costs. The point is to
find out whether there are any dis
crepancies among the groups.
Mr. Maybee said the study will
be finished in about four weeks, and
that after the results are studied,
the agency will decide whether or
not community groups should be
continued under present arrange
ments, under some new arrange
ments, or whether the members
should be asked to shift to en-
ployee groups or nOn-grOup MEM

joys participating in handicap
matches, in which he must meet
two, and sometimes three oppo-
nents at one and the same time.
His Dover opponent, however,

other rivals-the 300-pound Golden
Terror, who has been the sc0urge
of the wrestling ranks for the past
decade
Goliah's. almost superhuman
strength and his huge, well-prOpOr-
toned body, have made him one of

he said in a recent interview, "but
I'm not a dirty wrestler who uses
unorthodox holds or methods. But
if my opponent uses treacherous
tactics against me, then I intend to
punish him. Wrestling is a sport
for rugged men and / like to see
real men in the mat ranks"
Dover and vicinity wrestling
fans who have seen the Golden
Terror in action can realize just
what type of opposition Goliath
will be up against on the 21st. The
Terror evidently never heard of
wrestling's so-called rules and reg

may learn a thing or two about
them in his tugfest with Goliath.
