Teacher Charges Horossment
For Efforts to Accept Jury Duty

District school system policies
were under fire today from a
veteran teacher, who says she
was "harassed" by her principal
because Of her desire to accept
jury duty.
Mrs. Blanche p. Southard,
third grade teacher at the Emery
School, told a Board Of Educa-
ton committee yesterday her
Superiors, four years ago, denied
her permission to serve on a jury.
Sre got leave to serve the fol-
lowing year. but she told the COM
mittee Emery's principal had
made a great deal of trouble" for
her ever since.
Mrs. Southard, through her
attorney, Robert c. Handwerk,
also complained about the atti-
tude Of higher officials on her
case. Mr.. Handwerk asked that
the school board set a formal
policy on jury service, asserting
that the matter had been kicked
around" and that school officials
themselves don't know what to
do"
Corning Cites Policy.
Supt. Hobart M. Corning said
school system policy is to ask
the courts to excuse classroom
teachers from jury duty without
asking the teachers wishes.
Letting teachers serve is diff
cult, DR.. Corning said, because
the schools have no way what
ever Of hiring substitutes" for
them.
In most States, teachers are
excused from jury duty by law.
he pointed out. adding that no
other teachers have asked to

Mrs. Southard and Mr.. Hand

with instructions to school off,

maximum salary within the
grade for that particular type OF
work.
Under the new program, pres
ent employees whose salaries are
below the new minimum entrance
rates to be authorized by the
csc will also get their pay in
creased to the new level. Con-
sequently it's expected that
thousands of present Federal
workers will get salary increases.
In it's instructions to the
agencies, the csc emphasized
that. they must prove that it is
virtually impossible to recruit
employees at the present entrance
rates for the type of job in ques-
ton. The agencies will be re-
quired to prove that intensive
and personalized recruiting ef-
forts have not produced a'suffi-
cient number of eligibles, that
there is evidence that recruiting
at the new rates will remedy the
situation. that the cost will not
be unreasonable, and that bene-
fits of the move will outWeight all
possible ill effects.
If permission to pay more than
the entrance salary of the grade
is granted, the new minimums
will be given to all employees, in
the affected job classification,
not only in the agency seeking
permission but in every agency
in the area. For example, if the
Commerce Department sought
and received permission to pay
more than the entrance salary
in the grade for a particular job,
all other agencies in Washington
would be allowed to pay similar
rates for the same kind of jobs.
The CSC will make an annual
review to determine whether the
recruitment situation justifles re-.
turning to the old entrance sal
airy rate for the particular job.
However. the pay of employees al
ready on the job at the increased
minimum rates would not be cut.
Any cutback to the former en-
trance rate would apply only to
new employees

at George Washington Univer-

Supt. Goldstein and Mrs.

said they were swanped with

they would have 500 before the
day was over and by noon some

Six Months Time Allowed.
"We are giving weight to the

Mr.. Goldstein declared.
While corporations have six

that names of old corporations
might be pirated by new organi-
