PROTEST - The executive
council of the National Fedora
ton of Federal Employees, at its
annual meeting here, has voiced
its vigorous objection to the
widespread practice" of using
military personnel in civilian
jobs in the defense agencies.
Besides being contrary to
both law and regulations. use
of military personnel in civilian
jobs is costly and unsound, the
NFFE declared.
The council urged both Con-
gress and the Executive Branch
to take firm action without
further delay to end this prac-
tice.
The council also attacked the
use of personnel riders on appro-
priation bills. 1t asked for the
prompt repeal by Congress of
the Thomas, Jensen and Whitten
riders.
The NFFE declared that these
riders curbing leave, promotion
and placement benefits, are un-
sound and "negation of the or
derly processes of legislation"
The "meat-ax" approach
through riders such as these is
no solution to the situation and
proves costly in the long run.
because efficiency suffers, the
NFFE said.
THE most potent case against
the personnel rider is simply that
it does not mean a saving for
the taxpayer: rather. it is costly
in, money, in inefficiency. in
mounting combustion of admin
iStration," the NFFE asserted.

The $961, 100 includes an esti-
mated $4,000 which will be needed
to meet the costs of five additional
patrolmen, which the commission
also authorized by ordinance.
The 1852 estimated expenditure
in tn General Fund is 35,975.00.
In presenting the estimate, Mr..
Carran said that the estimates for
all funds have been based on pres
ent salary levels. He added that
meetings and studies are being
continued and any recommenda-
TOMS along this line will be made
as soon as possible.
In addition to the $4,000 for
the recommended five additional
patrolmen, the estimate includes
$11, 800 for reclining the inciner-
ator which has already exceeded
it's five-year life placed on the
original lining by one year.
Mr.. Carran also pointed out that
the city portion of the tax rate
for 1854 collection has not been in
creased over the 1868 rate.
A moderate increase in the
duplicate and in revenues from
other sources, combined with unen-
numbered balances, will be ade-
quate to provide for the estimated
expenditures, according to Finance
Director Apthorp.
During the past year the city
paid off the balance due on park
ing meters which brings this fund
to $3.50 for 1854 against the 1868
requirement Of $16,035.00.
Extended repairs, with the need
of new cable and other expensive
materials, this year brought the
Police-Fire Communication fund
expenditure to $19,920. The 1854
estimate is $6,355.
The Shaw Swimming Pool is
coming for repairs next summer,
to boost estimates there from
$10,64U this year to $12,360 next
year.
Estimated General Fund reve-
nues are totaled at $980,115.

Do You Want
To Share Your
Christmas?

If you would like to share your
Christmas with someone who will
otherwise have little of a special
nature to be joyous over on this
great festive day, talk it over with
Miss Mary Loomis, East Cleveland
Welfare Director.
Miss Loomis said yesterday that
there are any number of BORDER
line" cases among the single and
elderly couples residing in East
Cleveland. These folks manage
pretty we'll all year long on limit
ed incomes, but have little or
nothing with which to add to OBJ
servance Of Christmas as most Of
us know it.
In some cases illness takes a
constant toll of income, leaving
little, if any surplus for such items
as clothing, or holiday foods.
1t is these folks whom Miss
Loomis is concerned about. May
be you would like to check a name
or a couple on this list. If so, call
MU. 1-5020, or drop in at Miss
Loomis' office in City Hall.

City Teacher
Salary Fourth
High In Ohio

East Cleveland School District
has the fourth highest salary
schedule among Ohio cities accord
ing to R. w. Gongwer, president
of the Ohio Educatinal Associa-
ton. Mr.. Gongwer made the state
ment in a salary report before the
annual meeting of the 106-year old
organization meeting in Hotel
Cleveland last Thursday and Fri
day. The report was based on a
recent all-state salary survey.
Gongwer listed the ten Ohio cities
having the highest average salary
schedule this school year. They
are: Norwood, $5,129; Oakwood,
$5,086; Cleveland, $5,011; East
Cleveland, S4,913. lowest in the
ten list is Akron with $4,698.
The current East Cleveland sal
ary schedule is as follows: With
an ALB degree requirement, begin
ming salary is S3400, plus an an
nual $3.50 increment. An added Is
graduate hours is compensated
with $500 a year, and masters
degree with $3.50 a year.
The average Ohio teacher salary
this year is $3,877, compared with
s3,605 in the 1952-1953 year, or an
increase of about 715%c, said
Gongwer.
Cuyahoga County heads the list
OF the states SO counties in aver
age teacher salary with $5,985 a
year.
The survey, it was pointed out,
does not take into account school
levies for salary increases voted
last November. 1t registers only
the actual salaries being paid this
school year.
This year teachers in city school
districts are receiving an average
of $4,312 compared with an aver
age S3,283 being paid by county
school districts.
Explaining the difference in sal
ary schedules among cities, Gong
wer said that, in most instances,
the higher schedule was due to the
community having increased its
own school tax above the state
average in order to offer salaries
commensurate with city living
costs.
An important factor in school tax
return is the type Of district, resi-
Dental as contrasted with indus
trial, the later having the larger
return.
Referring to the November cleo
ton favoring establishment Of
state board of education, OEA Of
ficials indicated the detail pro-
posals would be ironed out in meet
ings to be held this coming year
by educational and other interested
groups.
