River Dragged Again
For Missing Youths

The Potomac River off Charles
County, Md. was dragged again
yesterday in the hope of finding
bodies of three Prince Georges
County youths missing since they
went duck hunting along the
river December 18.
For the most part, the search
was conducted by members of
their immediate families or their
friends and classmates.
The missing youths are Alton

avenue, Camp Springs; Richard
Ryon, II, 5311 Kenwood drive

som, 18. of Dangerfield drive.

Surrattsville High School, Clin-
ton
The search has been center
ing around Riverside, Md, since
their capSized boat was found
the following day and its motor
located at the river bottom last
Sunday.
At first, the searchers included
Charles County Sheriff r. Ver-
non Cooksey, State police, the
Coast Guard and Civil Air Patrol
planes. BY Wednesday. most of
the organized operations were
abandoned.
This action prompted the
mother of the Ryon boy, Mrs
Thelma Rice, to complain last
night that authorities were being
lax in their efforts to locate the
youths.

Prentiss Sees No Hopes
For Raise in Teachers P0v

Chance for any pay raises for
District school teachers-or any
other city employes-in the for
seeable future were dealt a blow
last night.
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
engineer commissioner, said
either extra taxes or a bigger
Federal payment to the District
would be necessary for any pay
raises.
81 can't foresee anytime now, I"
Gen. Prentiss declared, when
the city can give higher pay to
anyone"
In a formal action on Thurs
day the Commissioners approved
a compromise teacher pay raise
that would cost about STA mil
lion yearly. But accompanying
this recommendation to Con-
gress. the city heads agreed they
will have to note that the Dis
trict lacks funds to meet the
suggested increase.
Compromise on Pay Increase.
The Board of Education origl-
inally urged higher teacher pay
scales amounting to SO million
per year. The District govern
ment's General Administration
Department cut this back to 81
million. The Commissioners
compromise was between these
two figures.
While they were about it
Thursday, the Commissioners
went on record opposing a salary
for the superintendent of schools
higher than $4,000. To accede
to the school board recommended
tion of increasing the superin-
tendent's pay maximum to
$4,000 and possibly $4,000
would be to place that salary
category way out of line" with
that of other department heads.
the Commissioners contended.
Commissioner PrentiSS also
said last night that if the value
of the dollar remains where it
is. there is no need for more
increases"
Sees Works Plan Jeopardised.
The Commissioner also echoed
a fear expressed last week by
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler
that a teacher raise would start

leaders of the group which has
been helping with the $306 mil
lion public works program.
Gen. Prentiss also. commented
briefly on the attention given
last week in the Senate juvenile
delinquency inquiry to the role
of the schools in deterring juve-
nile crime.
'My personal feeling is that
the one major contribution that
can be made by our teachers
is to impress on students the
fact that each of them has a
contribution to make to the COM
mon good of all. rather than
expecting that they have some
thing coming to them or due
them from the city or the Fed
,eral Government" he declared.
Evening star., 1953-12-27

a round of other pay raises that
would jeopardize the city's $3O6
million public works program.
"In my opinion the city needs
to go forward with the public
works program worse than it
needs to give another teacher
pay increase this year." he said
Gen. Prentiss told a radio
audience on station WWDC that
the District already is COM
mitted to a $40 million per year
tax boost over the next 10 years.
The city also is counting on an
increase in the Federal share
of city costs to $40 million.
But he stressed that no pay
raises would be covered by these
increases.
THE only way we're going to
do anything more than we are
doing today is by increasing
taxes or get an increased con-
tribution from the Federal Gov
ernment," he asserted.
Sees Pay Raise Justified.
Gen Prentiss conceded, in
answer to questions, that some
teacher pay raise could be justi-
fled if the city had the funds,
But he declared:
While we recognize that some
adjustment would be necessary
in order to bring tthe pay
scale) in line with the median
pay of II cities that are of the
same approximate size as Wash
ingtOn, we have to weigh the
capacities of Washington to
meet a further increase in
teachers pay. I wonder how we'll
get the money to pay it."
He declared he can't foresee
getting it at this time, adding:
"The future looks very grim
to me-
Pays Tribute to Advisers.

visory Council. and Francis O.

Detwi|er Asks Accord
For Arlington Boards

Finding new sources of reve-

DR.. Robert H. Detwiler said yes
terday in a farewell statement to

DR.. Detwiler praised the CO.
operation and hard work of

courteous discussions between

place at a special meeting at
10:30 am. Friday by Chairman
Robert A. Peck. The Board will

At Fordham, Mr.. Roth was a
class president, and president of
the Maroon Club, an association
of class presidents. When he
left, his fellow presidents pre-
sented him with a $50 sword
cane in recognition of his work.
After receiving his. law de-
grees, Mr.. Roth worked for
various private firms as secre-
tary or attorney before he came
to Washington in 1888 as an at
torney for the Interior Depart.
ment at $1,000 q year.
Ten years ago he went to work
at the Justice Department and
began specializing in security
matters, drafting reports, writ
ing opinions and handling cases
OF suspected SubverSives and sub
versive organizations.
Mr.. Roth is a Roman Catholic,
and a communicate at Our Lady
of Lourdes Church. He helps
supervise sports activities of the
Catholic Youth Organization
there.
Home Draws Youngsters.
Youngsters, his own and
others, troop through his home
in out-of school hours, and al
ways find the refrigerator well
stocked with soft drinks.
IF they're here drinking a
coke, we know they're not into
mischief somewhere else," Mr..
Roth said.
In 1850 Mr.. Roth began giving
a trophy to the outstanding ath-
lete in the Catholic Youth Or
ganization's grammar school
league, picked by the sports
writers. The trophy had been

retirement position. (The Gov
ernment'S retirement program is
based on the average salary in
the five highest years.) I
thought Civil Service was a sure
thing"
Then, early this year, when he
wanted to return to the Justice
Department. he was told there
was no job for him. The Civil
Service Commission ruled he
must be rehired, but later he was
fired.
Mr.. Roth's stress on family
stems partly from his religion,
partly from his own difficult ear
ly years and partly from the
family in which he was one of
13 children himself.
He was born At years ago at
Newark. N. j.. son of immi-
grants. Nicholas Roth from
Switzerland and Margaret Col
Inns Roth from Ireland. He was
the only one of the 13 children
to enter profession.
In 1922 he was graduated from
La Sale Academy with high
honors-an average of gland
three gold medals for scholar
ship. These and a host of med
ais he won in high school track
meets hang in frame on a liv-
ing room wall.
II i was pretty good in high
school," he said. II was a fast
man off the mark. But when 1
got up against sitter competi-
ton later, I found out wasn't
as good as I thought I was"
Sons in Track Footsteps.
"A bedroom wall upstairs is fes-
tooned with track meet ribbons
won by his sons.
Mr.. Roth married Margaret
Gaynor in 1926, and that same
year started to college. He went
through most of the require
mentS for a bachelors degree at
Columbia University, and at
Fordham University, but did not
graduate.
Later. at Fordham, he received
his bachelor of laws degree, and
still later. at the st. Lawrence
University Law School in Brook
lyn, his master of laws degree.
During most of his college
years he was busy Is to 18 hours

This year, because Of all his
financial difficulties, Mr.. Roth

to abandon the practice. Then

St. Michael's, was chosen the

mo" the pastor replied. But
he's happy about winning, be-
cause each year the boy who is
chosen gets a trophy at the
Touchdown Club"
Last Monday. Billy received
the Leo A. Roth Trophy.
"It cost me $22, but I couldn't t
disappoint him" Mr.. Roth said.
II guess I'll keep up the trophy.
One of my kids might win it
some day."
Uncertain Future.
Mr.. Roth'S future is uncertain.
He doesn't know whether he will
be able to appeal the court
decision.
1.-THE main difficulty is finan-
cial," he said. "It would cost
me $700 alone for printing the
record needed for the appeal"
Although he argued his own
case in District Court, he feels
he would have to hire another
attorney to represent him in an
appeal. He quoted the saying,
"a man who is his own lawyer
has a fool for a client"
Mr.. Roth was disappointed in
the lack of interest shown by
other Government workers in his
case. Now that a decision affect
ing all civil service employees has
been handed down, interest has
picked up and he has received
hundreds of cards from well
wisherS.
In addition to his other activ-
jties, Mr.. Roth was a founder, a
