every local tax lexy has been
raised and almost every con-
ceivable new source available to
us has been tapped. To-day the
District is levying virtually
every kind of possible tax, most
ly at rates as high or higher

Because OF the great impor-

On the provisions for a fund

allows funds for only 80 addi-

amount to an additional $50, 400,
Since certification under the

Law Okays Purchase
After q concerted drive by
Georgetown citizens and others

authorizing the Government to
buy the old house and the neigh

According to the Park Service.
the $4,000 purchase price be-

but legal title did not pass to
the Government until Mar, 1858.

RIA to Meet
October Is for
Final Decision
By GEORGE BEyRRIDGE

The District Redevelopment
Land Agency today narrowed to
two syndicates the number Of
bidders In the running for the
job Of rebuilding Washington's
pilot Southwest redevelopment
project Area B.
Eliminated from consideration
was q proposal submitted by q
local group headed by Builder
Stewart Bainum and Architect
Ronald Senseman.
After closed door meeting,
RIA Board Chairman John A.
Remon announced a meeting will
be held October IS to try to reach
a decision among these two re-
manning bidders:
/. A New York syndicate head
ed by James H. Scheuer, real
estate developer. and Roger L.
Stevens. well-known theatrical
producer.
2. A Washington group headed
by I. s. Turover. Bethesda ufn-
Der dealer.
No Single Factor
Mr.. Remon said no single
factor eliminated the BainuIl1
group but that the RIA Board
decided after careful considera-
ton Of a large number Of factors
that the Scheuer-Stevens and
Turover groups more completely
met the requirements necessary
for fulfilling this project"
Area B is the 76-acre project
located southwest Of Capitol Hill
which is the city's first real effort
lat wiping out an entire rundown
area and rebuilding it.
The RIA already owns all the
property, has rehouSed nearly all
the residents and has razed most
Of it. AS soon as a rebuilder is
selected, RIA will turn over the
cleared land for new construction
In compliance with an official
rebuilding plan.
Decision Difficult
The decision on a rebuilder Is
perhaps the most difficult the
agency has ever had to make,
One previous bidder already has
been selected and was forced to
drop out, however. So the RIA
has been screening the new bid
ders with extreme care.
Mr.. Remon told reporters he
thought the most important fac
tor In the selection win be a
conviction that the one
awarded the contract has the
capacity, ability and willingness
Ito carry it through completely. "
Mr.. Remon said he gave the
board an analysis Of both Tur-
over and Scheuer-Stevens plans
and that he thought there are
strengths and weaknesses in
BOTH" He said no vote today
was taken on the two remaining
bidders.
Declines Details
He declined to go into detail
about what factors are under
study but said that "every time
We meet We see something else
important we could consider"
Asked If, other things being
equal, the board leaned toward
Ia local investor, MIR. Remon said
he thought it would but that
these things are never equal"
He said. in fact. there might be
advantages to the city in having
an outsider establish Offices in
Washington for such o big
project.

More Teachers.
By JAMES 6. DEANE

Washington parents today
urged the Commissioners to sup-
port q major expansion Of the
District public school teacher
force.
A current teacher shortage
, and other school deficiencies
drew fire from Q large number
Of witnesses who turned out to
support school requests at the
Commissioners budget hearings.
The city heads heard COM
plaintssof oversize classes, over
worked teachers and principals,
too few special classes for re-
tarded children, and inadequate
educational standards.
The Board of Education al
ready has requested a large-scale
increase in the teaching staff,
starting with 1853 new teachers
next year.
The Commissioners were told
today by some parents that even
this proposal is not enough.
Cuts Elsewhere Proposed
One witness, DR.. Ellis o. Ha-
worth, asserting the school sys-
TENS own request for a teacher
increase is too small, proposed
! that 213 new elementary teach
ers and 116 secondary teachers
be added next year. The school
board asked for no secondary
teachers.
DR.. Haworth, professor at
the city's teachers college, sug-
gested that other city depart
ments be cut back and a bigger
share Of the budget go to schools.
He spoke In behalf Of the North
west Council Of Citizens Asso-
Citations and the Janney Elemen-
tary PTA.
More than a third Of the. wit
nesses at today's hearing repre-
sented PTAs and other groups
interested in the schools. Spokes-
men for other groups also
touched on school needs.
Most of the school witnesses
were still waiting to appear later
In the afternoon. but they had
already made their presence
felt through frequent applause
when school items were mem
toned.
Iong-Range Problem
Mrs. Henry Munree, of the
League of Women Voters, first
of the speakers to mention
schools, said that q recently pub
licized teacher shortage focused
attention on what is actually
a long range problem"
She said that Washington
schools lag in academic stand
ards because Of years Of over
crowded classes, lack Of special
and regular teachers, obsolete
buildings and inadequate sup
plies"
She said the league supports
the school boards teacher ex-
pansion plans for elementary
schools. She said more teachers
also should be provided TO re-
duce oversize classes in Sec
ondary schools, however. And
regarding delays in school con
struction, she declared:

sighted economy depriying our
children of their American
rights to satisfactory education"
