Bill to Lift Teacher Poy
Here Offered in House

draft of their own proposal cost
ing $1.660,000. Commissioner
Samuel Spencer said this was as
much as the Commissioners could
afford during the present finan-
cial plight of the District Gov
ernment.
The Commissioners bill has
not yet been introduced in the
Senate, but is before the District
subcommittee in its original
form as presented by Commits
sioner Spencer.
Bachelor Figure $500
The Bennett bill would raise
the beginning salary for teachers
with a bachelors degree from
S3,440 to $4,000 and for teachers
with a masters degree from the
present $4,0l6 to $4,000.
The Commissioners bill would
raise the entrance salary for
both teachers with a bachelors
and a masters degree by 500
less than that provided in the
Bennett bill. s g
& Generally the School Board
bill is patterned more after one
proposed by the Commissioners
with Its reclassification feature
than the Beall bill.

Commissioner Camalier said
his dissent from a motion by
Engineer Commissioner Thomas
A. Lane was based solely upon
his objection to the 76 spaces
there.
Area residents have vigorously
protested against use of the site
for fringe parking at all. Also,
they contended that the plan
approved today would prohibit
baseball as distinguished from
softball. thus reducing possible
use of the grounds for recrea-
ton.
The proposal adopted today is
subject to minor variations
agreeable to the Recreation De-
partment and the Motor Vehi-
Gle Parking Agency. 1t was ap-
proved generally last March by
the National Capital Planning
Commission and has the re
luctant" approval of the Rec

"Of course, any man is in

Racial Laws
Hit as Illegal

The 85-year-old laws banning
racial discrimination in places
of amusement were called uncon-
stitutional in Municipal Court
today because they apply only
to. parts of the District and
not all of the District.
Attarney Charles E. Ford asked
the court to dismiss a two-count
charge lodged by the Govern
ment against the Lucky Strike
Bowling Alleys. 1929 Fourteenth
street NV. because "the laws
are discriminatory
John w. Wood, vice president
of the Central Amusement Co.,
Inc. which operates the alleys,
earlier pleaded not guilty to
charges of failing to admit Ne
groes because of their race.
The case, scheduled to be
heard Wednesday. was continued
until May "a to give the Gov
eminent opportunity to study
the motion and file an answer.
1869-7O Laws Invoked
The counts were brought
against the alleys by the District
in a move to enforce laws
passed by the old City Council of
Washington in 1869 and 1870.
The Commissioners issued a
warning several months ago that
the statutes would be enforced.
Only last year the Supreme
Court upheld similar laws in a
case involving Thompson Res
taurants. The decision pro-
hibited discrimination against
Negroes in eating establishments.
The motion to dismiss, filed
today. pointed out that the legis-
lation was written SO as to in
clude only the old city of Wash
ington and was later amended
to include Georgetown also. A
large part of the District was
left out.
That, the brief declared, lis
discriminatory and therefore un-
constitutional"
The boundaries of the old city
of Washington covered by the
statutes are Rock Creek on the
west, Florida avenue on the
north and the Anacostia River
on the east, in addition to
Georgetown.
Calls Charge Improper
The motion also asked dis
missal of the charges on the
grounds of an improper in
formation. The counts were
brought against the bowling al
leys under a section of the Dis
trict code making it unlawful
for persons who are licensed to
conduct places of public amuse-
ment here to make any distinc-
ton because of race or color.
But, it points out, another Sec
ton of the code deals with the
licensing of bowling alleys, bill

Legislation to raise the sala-

school officials, sponsored by the
Board of Education, was intro
duced in the House today by
Representative Bennett, Demo-

The measure would authorize
minimum increase of $l84 a

Supt. of Schools Dr.. Hobart
M. Corning would receive an in
crease from his present salary
of $4,000 to $4,000 annually.

The measure will go to the
