Apparently as a substitute for
the projected Western European
Army and the NATO defense
system, the Russians said they
were ready to take into account
existing new possibilities for in
surfing security in Europe"
through series of nonaggreS-
sion pactS. American officials
interpreted this as meaning the
Soviet concept of European Sc
curlty is to negotiate nonaggres-
sion pacts with a defenseless
Western Europe.
The only course open to the
West, officials here believed, is
to continue to press for ratiflca-
ton of the EDO and other West
ern European defense measures,
and try to keep the door open
for negotiations with Russia if
and when there is any evidence
the Russians are ready to nego-
tiate. But such negotiation, it
was emphasized in Washington,
must be under what President
Eisenhower described as CON
ditions which provide a clear and
dependable basis for agree
ment."

relations follows:

Golf Runqe Plea Studied

Montgomery County's Board
of Appeals had under study to-
day a petition to open a modern
golf emporium on Colesville road,
a mile south of the Glenmont
road intersection, near Colesville.
The applicant, Colesville Acres.
Inc, at hearing yesterday, re-
vealed plans to construct a COM
bined driving range, nine-hole
pitch-and-putt course and min
iature golf course on a 22-acre
tract. They said county school
children could use the facilities
if the special use permit is
granted.
The entire proposal, however.
was opposed by a group of resi-
dents from nearby Colesville and
Springbrook who claimed it
would be a "noisy, highly illu-
minated, traff1c-infested project
tinue to be ready to discuss any
issue with the Soviets under con-
ditions which provide a clear
and dependable basis of agree
ment."

Teacher Pay Varies
Widely in Virginia,
Survey DiscIoses
BY the Assoeioted Press

RICHMOND, Sept. 28.-Seven
cities and counties in Virginia
pay teachers as much to start
as II other counties pay a top
salaried teacher, according to
the Virginia Education Associa-
ton.
The comparison for teachers
holding bachelor degrees was
noted in the YEA survey of the
1953-54 salaries for classroom
teachers. The survey also showed
the average teacher in the city
is better off financially than the
county teacher.
High Starting Pay.
Two Virginia counties-Ar-
lington and Fairfax-start teach
ers with no previous experience
at $1,000 and $4,000 annually
Five cities have starting pay
ranging downward from Alex
andria's $4,000 to Warwick S
$4,000.
In contrast, the YEA noted
that peak salaries for classroom
teachers in IL counties are $4,000
regardless of experience. The IL
counties are Bland, Charles City,
Essex, King and Queen, Madison,
Mathews, Middlesex, New Kent.
Patrick. Richmond and West
moreland.
The YEA said the salary scales
given relate only to classroom
teachers and do not include
special instructors such as agri-
culture and home economics
teachers. The YEA also noted
that 36 per cent of the States
teachers do not hold degrees.
Therefore. their pay scale is
less than salaries included in the
study.
Maximum Is Low.
The study also showed that in
rs of the States SO counties, the
maximum pay for teachers with
bachelor degrees is less than
$4,000.
Furthermore, the survey said.
Is of the % cities in the State
have beginning salaries in excess
of $4,000. but only 35 counties
offer first year instructors SAL
aries exceeding $4,000.
The median pay for teachers
in the county system is $4,000
compared with $4,000 for the
1928 session. About the same
increase was reported as a
median top salary for degree
holding teachers. The pay went
up from $1,000 to $3,4O0.
