BY JAMES 6. DEANE

The District public school sys.
tenn today was given permission
to hire 90 extra teachers to NEE
an emergency.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corn.
ing and Schuyler Lowe, District
general administration director
announced after a meeting thai
the school system will be al.

DR.. Corning said he expect.
savings later in the school yeal
which win make UP for the extra
expenditure.
The special arrangement wa
agreed on as a result Of q Boart
of Education request for emer,
gency funds to meet the teachel
shortage. No actual emergenc,
funds are being provided by tnt
city government. but specia
authority had to be obtained fol
any unscheduled hiring.
Hope to Avoid Deficit
The two officials stressed that
the school system must rearrangt
its finances later In order to avoic
ending the fiscal year next June
with a deficit.
The 20 extra teachers viii bt
assigned to elementary schools
which opened the term last
month with so fewer teachers
than had been counted on. be-
cause of lack Of funds.
DR.. Corning told the school
board last week that 20 teachers
would meet the most serious
shortages. They win be used tc
reduce some Of the city's most
oversize classes.
The emergency hiring is moi
expected to avert some additional
elementary teacher shutting
however. It was disclosed Friday
that at least IL more teacher
transfers. affecting half a dozen
sor more schools, are under con-
sideration.
Protest by PTA
The District Congress Of Par.

plans and John B. Gillilland

For Bigger Labor Force in Next Decade

Archaeological changes will prob

cent past
Rise In Labor Force
Mr.. Ruether said that by 1860
the. average annual increase in
the labor force will be more
than IL million instead Of the
present 100000 per year. The
labor leader said that while pro-
ductivity can be increased auto
matically by installing new ma
chimes. there is no machine
which automatically expands the
economy as q whole to absorb
these additional products. For
that reason. he said, Congress
and industry must plan ahead.
"Only a little thought on the
subject should be enough to con-
vince anyone that consumer
purchasing power will not be
raised automatically" he said.
'It win not be raised unless
the benefits Of increased pro-
ductivity are passed along to
the mass market Of consumers
through increased wages, re-
|duced prices and increased ex-
|penditures by Government in
such fields as education and
housing. as well as improved
Government programs in such
areas as social security and
health"
Patman Poses Questions
Suppose by 1865 our popula-
ton has increased to 100 million
and we expand our economy pro-
Iportionately. what do you think
the work week then could be?"
asked Representative Patman,
Democrat Of Texas.
II think by 1865 we can have
IA work week based on four eight
hour days." Mr.. Reuther replied.
For the immediate future the
CIO head urged Congress to give
tax relief at the January ses-
sion to wage earners BY raising
the personal exemption from
$500 to $500. He said this would
add SIS billion to consumers
purchasing power.
Asked By Mr.. PatEnan how far
he would reduce the retirement

tion. The present retirement age
