East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1953-05-07

The Civil Air Patrol took its
place along with other civic and
veterans organizations marching
in the Loyalty Day Parade to out
maneuver the usual Communist
demonstrations associated wi t h
May Day. Major Curtiss of the
Headquarters Staff, Group A, Ohio
Wing lead the Civil Air Patrol
unit which was composed of cadets
and senior staff officers from sew
eral of the squadrons in the Cleve-
land area.
Senior Pilots from the Group a
area provided an aid cover for the
marchers and spectators by fly
ing their light planes in easy cir
cles over the parade route. The
sound of martial music and the
hum of friendly planes plus the
bright uniforms brought patri-
otic response from the crowds
which lined the side walks of Euc-
lid ave.
The parade assembled at Forest
Hills blvd, and Euclid ave. When
it passed by the reviewing stand in
front of the City Hall, snappy
eyes-right greeted civilian officials
who were flanked by military
guests of honor.
East Cleveland's spirit and the
competitive attitude of the march
ers is indicative of the extent to
which the idea of Loyalty Day has
caught on.

Tax Sale Held in Coy Spot
Instead of Courthouse Steps

Prince Georges Treasurer Ju-
lian B. Mckay and his staff to-
day are tallying the take of the
county'S first sale of tax-delin-
quent property in a spot apart
from the courthouse steps.
Mr.. Mckay and Deputy Treas
urer Mallan Middleton barked
their wares yesterday in a cir
cult courtroom-a cozy spot
when contrasted with the ice,
snow and sleet outside.
The shift was made possible
by befuddled legislators. They
said the old salesplace was fine
for the Colonials, but confusing
to this generation because the
enlarged courthouse now has
several sets of steps.
So they passed a law canceling
the ancient edict that tax sales
be held only on the courthouse
entrance.
500 Properties AuctiOned.
In bidding alternately brisk
and listleSS, the treasurer and
his deputy auctioned 500 prop
critics at prices ranging from IS
to more than $1,000. A total Of

scampered to the teller's cage

Teachers Pay Raise
Voted With | Dissent
In Maryland Senate
BY the Assoeioted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 3.-The
Senate. with only one dissenting
vote, last night stamped it's ap-
proval on the teachers pay raise.
The bill now goes to the House.
Senator Turnbull, Democrat,
of Baltimore County voiced the
only negative vote against the
teachers increase when it came
up for final action. He said he
didn't oppose the raise itself but
objected to the State, instead of
the counties, paying for it.
Increase of $500 to $500.
The measure would raise the
minimum guaranteed salaries
for public school teachers by
$500 to $500 within the next
three years. Their pay would
jump from the present range of
$2,000-$3.800 to $2,8OO-$4, 900.
Many schools now pay the min
lIuum or more
The House last night approved
raising the Governors salary
from $4,000 to $4,000. with
three dissenting votes. The pro-
posed pay raise would not apply
to Gov. McKeldin's present term.
Would Go to Voters.
The bill. If approved by the
General Assembly, would be a
constitutional amendment and
subject to approval OF the voters.
Maryland's Governor at pres
ent receives the lowest salary of
any in the Nation.
The Senate killed the peren-
nial move to grant more home
rule to the counties and post
poned action on a similar pro-
posal for more self-government
for the municipalities.
BY a vote Of 17-11, it supported
an unfavorable report by the
Judiciary Committee on the
county home rule bill. The COM
mittee had rejected it by a bare
5-4 vote.

Tax sales. long a perfunctory

Before the statute was en-

Schools Head Quits
In Calvert County
Funds Deficit Row
BY J. L. Michoel

PRINCE FREDERICK, Md,
Mar. 3.-Harry r. Hughes, su-
perintendent of Calvert County
schools for % years, has acceded
to a public demand for his resig-
nation but the f1ve-member
board of education unanimously
refused to quit under fire.
DR.. Thomas G. Pullen, State
school superintendent. announced
the decisions yesterday after a
f1ve-hour conference on an i'm
passe caused by a $378,292 de-
f1cit in school accounts.
The county taxpayers associa-
ton at mass meeting Friday
asked Mr.. Hughes and the entire
school board to give up their
posts because their official books
are $205 ,942 in the red in operat-
ing funds and $172,350 behind
in construction accounts. The
associations special probing
committee said the discrepancy
was the result of "gross misman-
agement and negligence"
Mr.. Hughes. who has served
in the States school system for
20 of his 81 years, asked that his
resignation become effective Au-
gust l and that he be granted an
interim leave of absence begin
ming today.
Resignation Accepted.
The board accepted the resig-
nation and approved the leave,
subject to an opinion of the
State Attorney General as to its
legality.
Making it clear that they have
no intention of vacating their
posts at this time, the five board
members declared:
"The board of education feels
that it has acted in good faith
in this matter. Although they
have been requested to resign
by some taxpayers OF the coun-
ty they feel that it is their duty
to- remain in Office until this
matter is worked out satisfac-
torily in the interest of all the
children of Calvert County"
Members of the board are w.
George Ward, president; Allen S.
Bowen. Mrs. Verna B. Lore, Mrs.
Ida B. Ireland and Howard E.
Thomas.
Mr.. Hughes, who formerly
taught in Prince Georges and Al
legheny Counties, made no public
statement. But privately he told
a reporter Of what he termed q
long and bitter struggle against
vested interests" which he said
opposed his attempts to improve
the lot of the county's school
children.
Ward to Act Temporarily.
The vested interests" were
described as a group of large
landholders who send their own
offspring to private schools and
resist efforts to provide oppor-
tunlties for less fortunate chill
dren. He did not identify them.
DIR. Pullen announced that Mr..
Ward will be in charge of the
boards fiscal affairs until Mr..
Hughes successor is named. Mrs.
Lola Parks, county supervisor of
pupil personnel will assist him
as Office manager.

Suit in Fairfax
Seeks 10 Bar
School Bonds
$11 Million Issue
Attacked in Petition
By 50 Residents

The Fairfax County School
Board was today faced with a
legal attack on an $11 million
school bond issue approved by
Fairfax County voters Febru-
ary 3.
Suit to declare the bond issue
void was brought by more than
so county residents who signed
a petition for a declaratory
judgment which was filed in the
Fairfax Circuit Court yesterday.
The petition charges that the
bond election ordered by Circuit
Court Judge Paul E. Brown was
illegally held because the County
Board Of Supervisors did not
join in the request of the school
board for the referendum.
Green Files Suit.
Arlington Attorney John Locke
Green filed the suit in behalf Of
the Fairfax County residents. He
asked that the school board be
restrained from taking any ac-
ton leading to the sale of the
bonds.
A school board spokesman said
the board had not yet offered
the bonds for sale because a 30
day waiting period required by
law from the date of the elec-
ton had not expired.
The suit was expected because
the County Freeholders Protec-
tive Association, shortly before
the special election was held, an
nounced they would seek legal
means to prevent issuance Of the
bonds.
Charge Tax Violations.
The legal challenge asserts
that great numbers of persons
were permitted to vote" in thei
special election "who had not
paid their 1852 capitation
taxes"
It also alleges that two mem
berS of the county school board
who were Federal employees
were holding Office illegally
when the school board adopted
a resolution asking for the bond
vote.
The two board members, Hills
Lory. a State Department off,
cial. and Randolph Buckley Of
the Post Office Department, have
since resigned.
In 1850, a sos million bond
issue, approved by the voters,
was held UP through legal ac-
ton for about a year when at
tackled by several county resi-
dents.
School officials said that the
delay in sale of the earlier bonds
resulted in costs rising more
than So million on the projects
which were to be built with the
bond proceeds.
