With the District pondering
new taxes to cover the cost of
expected pay raises for its 10000
employees, a survey by The Star
shows that nearly 100000 has
been added to the annual cost
of running the city during the
last year through job promo
tions.
Increasing cost of the Districts
job "reallocations" program was
emphasized Friday by announce
ment that five more top District
officials are being promoted to
Civil Service super" pay grades.
Yearly cost to the District of
these five cases of "upgrading"
will be $4,100.
Nearly 1000 other such cases,
however, are listed in the Dis
trict's proposed budget for the
fiscal year 1856. which starts
next July /.
More Salary Funds Needed.
In that document, Congress
is told that job reallocations
have been granted over the last
year which will cost the city
$3.50, ,635 in fiscal 1856. Fridays
announcement will raise that
fio1lre tn 5000 725
In addition, Congress is told
that the city's various depart
mentS cannot absorb the added
cost in their present budgets and
must be given the money to
cover the higher salaries-or fire
workers whom the departments
say they cannot do without.
Under the reallocation pro-
gram, District officials say, ex-
perts from the recently estab-
lished personnel Office compare
jobs being done by District en-
ployes with the standards set up
for such positions by the Civil
service COnllIllSSlOIl.
If the effort, difficulty and re-
sponsibility needed to do the job
check with csc standards, moth
ing happens. If the job is less
difh9tnA and demanding than
csc standafWA$pr the grade and
pay of the workeE tAp the Job
may be downgraded. Some en-
ployes have lost money this way,
though usually not more than
$25 or $50 year.
If, however, the jobs difficulty
is such that it should be re-
warded with d higher pay and
grade classification, the employe
can be promoted to the proper
grade and the pay that goes
with it.
Director Schuyler Lowe of the
Department of General Admin

mends that all Jobs should be

Early House Hearing
Sought on Move for

Rules Committee Head
Agrees to Inquiry on
Chief Justice Address
By Miriom Gutenberg

Representative Reed, Repub-
lican. of Illinois, said last night
he will ask the House Rules
Committee tomorrow for early
hearings on proposals for an
address to a Joint session of
Congress by the Chief Justice
of the United States.
Chairman Smith of the Rules
Committee said, meanwhile. that
if Mr.. Reed wants hearings, they
will be held soon. The Virginia
legislator said he hadn't gone
into the question and would
withhold an opinion until he
had heard the evidence"
Mr.. Reed is the author of one
of two solutions introduced on
the House side for an address
by the Chief Justice. His would
provide only for addresses at
the two regular sessions of the
84th Congress.
The other House resolution,
introduced by Representative
Heating, Republican, of New
York, would provide for periodic
addresses on a permanent basis.
Referring to an all-day hear
ing held Friday by a Senate
Judiciary subcommittee, Mr..
Reed said that "as long as the
Senate has taken the initiative,
we ought to be prepared" That,
he said, is why he will request
early hearings.
The resolutions introduced on
the Senate side one co-spon-
sored by Chairman Kilgore of
the Senate Judiciary Committee
and Senator Wiley of Wiscon-
sin, ranking Republican on the
committee. and the other by
Senator Butler, Republican, of

mosa strait.
The Soviets. admittedly fear
full of a major war, were under

same time maneuvering to get
them concessions in the For

Russia, Britain and India have
exchanged views repeatedly
about Formosa both before and
after Peiping turned down the
U. N. invitation to talk peace.
Tonight informants indicated
Russia is ready to try to restrain
Peiping while Britain and India
impress upon the United States
that a tight leash must also be
retained on Chang Kai-shek.
Agree On Rights.
Britain and India are in agree
ment with Russia that the Chi
nese Reds have legal rights to
Chiang's offshore islands-the
Quemoy, Matsu and Tachen
groups. But Britain believes
these islands should go to the
Reds only as part of cease-f1re
deal.
Britain and India argue that
Formosa and the PeScadores
should remain in Chiang's hands
and their ultimate future be de-
cided later around a conference
table.
The hope here is that the
Russians in their anxiety to
douse the Formosan powder keg
might accept this, so long as it
is not spelled out on paper. But
Russia was understood to be

Advisory Unit Backs
Ending Segregation
In Single Step

The Montgomery County Adj
visory Committee on Integration
has drafted report recommend
ing that pupils be sent to schools
nearest their homes. regardless
of race, The Star learned yes
terday.
The report, as now drafted by
majority of the committee,
urges a complete integration pro-
gram from the start, with no
period of gradualism.
The 19-member committee.
created by the county Board OF
Education at the urging of the
Maryland Department Of Educa-
ton, plans to turn over its re-
port to the county School Board
soon.
23 Counties Study Integrati0n.
All % counties of Maryland
have been making studies OF
methods of complying with the
Supreme Court decision which
outlaws segregation in schools.
Baltimore City integrated its
school pupils starting last Sep
tember, but the counties awaited
implementing rulings by the Su-
preme Court.
Thus the Montgomery County
report is likely to be the first re-
port of its type in the State. 1t
will set a precedent which will
be scrutinized by school officials
and boards in other counties.
The report. as now written,
makes these main points:
When integration is put into
effect. possibly next September.
pupils should be sent to the
school nearest their homes"
Teachers. bus drivers and other
school system employees should
be integrated at the same time
as the pupils.
The integration rogram
should be uniform throughout
the county. No "up-county" or
"down-county" policies should
be adopted.
Sc of Pupils Are COlored.
In future improvement Of
schools, no consideration should
be given to their former" use.
The report estimates that
about six per cent of the county's
47,000 pupils are colored.
Two county groups recently
called for an early report from
the advisory committee. They
were the Montgomery County
Parent Teacher Association
Council and the county chapter
of the American Veterans Com
mittee.
The report indirectly answers
their criticism by reviewing the
history of the advisory group and
claiming that a thorough ex-
ploration of the integration
problem in the county could not
have been accomplished in a
shorter time.
Furthermore, the report points
out that the secrecy pledge
which members imposed upon
themselves during the study
period enormously gave rise to
the impression that no progress
was being made toward prepara-
ton of recommendations.
Minority Report Expected.
Members refused to make in
dividual statements to the press.
They declined invitations to
speak at any public gathering
on the subject of integration,
the report says.
The report was scheduled to
be turned over to the Board of
Education following the last
meeting of the advisory group.
but was delayed at the insist
ence of some members who OPP
posed the all-out tenor of the
policy statement.
A minority report likely will
be prepared and given to the
Board of Education at the same
time as the majority report.
