City. Heads Indorse
Compromise Figures
On Teacher Pay Rise
Will Inform Congress
District Lacks Funds
For $1.4 Million Boost

The District Commissioners
today agreed that public school
teachers here should get a pay
raise, but they also decided to
tell Congress that the city lacks
sufficient funds for the increase.
In all but one respect the city
heads adopted a compromise set
Of pay scales arrived at yester-
day by the General Administra- :
ton Department and the Board
Of Education. The school board
originally had proposed pay
boosts that would have totaled
So million. General Administra-
tion Director Schuyler Lowe and
his aides held that the boosts
should come to only ST. million.
The compromise figure adopted
today by the commissioners is
81 900.
Balk on One Point.
The one point at which the
city heads baked was the rec
commended salary increase for
the superintendent of schools.
Conferees yesterday concluded
that the top school administra-
tion post is entitled to a pay
raise from the present $4,000
to $17,500. Under the original
proposal the school board would
have the option of raising this
figure to $4,000 if they choose.
At the suggestion of Commits
sioner Samuel Spencer today,
however. the superintendant's
salary would be pegged at SIS
600. Mr.. Spencer, Engineer Com
missioner Louis w. Prentiss and
Commissioner Renah F. Cana
lier agreed that anything over
$4,000 would be "way out of
line" with the pay of other de-
partment heads, to say nothing
of the $4,000 maximum salary
OF the Commissioners them
selves.
The latest recommendation
on teachers pay plus a notation
that the city lacks funds to pay

school board and then trans
mitted to Congress.

the Christmas pilgrimage of

today but Jordanian authorities
turned him back at the Mandel-
baum Gate checkpoint.

citizens of Israel, accompanied
by Catholic Sisters of Mercy,
were the first to cross.
Jacob Maidenek, first secretary

Own Body to Plug
Leak in Launch

Three yachtsmen reached port
safely yesterday after one OF
them plugged a leak in a dam
aged motor launch with his own
body for almost seven hours.
The three men, c. E. Holland,
Conrad Devine and James My

were bound for Mexico to spend
Christmas when a gas tank ex-
ploded in the forehold of their

They swung an 18-foot motor
launch over the side, but high
winds and seas sent it crashing
against the hull of the larger
craft. One of the planks of
the launch was smashed.
Mr. Holland said he wedged
his body into the damaged sec
ton to prevent flooding and
stayed in that position until
they made port.
The motor sailer. the Con-
tender, sank. Mr.. Holland said
it was built in Germany in 1905

Agitate for Return.
Since plans for giving back to
the Japanese this small group of
the Ryukyus closest to Japan
were made known last summer
there has been some agitation
in Japan for return of the re-

Okinawa is the main island of

a major link in the chain of

the other remaining former jap

strategic defense of the whole

President Eisenhower has
gravely told France that the
United States will reappraise its
basic European policies unless
the proposed European Defense
Community, providing for Ger
man rearmament, is set up soon.
The President expressed this
view in a statement late yester-
day as the third move in an
extraordinary campaign directed
by Secretary of State Dulles to
carry the EDO issue directly to
the French people and win their
support.
Gen. Eisenhower acted little
more than an hour after the
French parliament. on the 18th
ballot. elected Senator Rene
Coty to be the new president of
the French Republic.
Thus the first important
foreign policy step of the Ameri-
can Government following Mr..
Coty's eanergence as a figure on
the world stage was a sharp re-
minder that the United States is
counting on EDO to provide
peace and security for Western
Europe.
COty's Stand Uncertain.
EDO is a proposed six-nation
army, to include united COM
mand and in one uniform troops
from France, West Germany,
Italy. Belgium. the Netherlands
nd Luxembourg. Originally
proposed by France. it has been
Stymied by inaction of the
French parliament. The reason
usually cited is French fear of a
rearmed Germany.
At the time of his election,
Mr.. Coty's position on EDO was
not publicly known. The IL
year-old lawyer, an independent
Republican by party, has been
interested primarily in consti-
tutional matters. He is de-
scribed as favoring a revision of
the present constitution under
which France has changed gov
ernments so often in recent
years.

law f1gurehead job and theo-

toward EDO might not have too
much bearing. usly,

The Church has had to deal at

She has dealt with free peoples

The Pope emphasized that the
two principles he cited will be

clarified his principle on tolerance
with these two truths:
