Teacher Crisis
Shortage of Funds
BIomed; Glasses
To Be Recognized
By JAMES G. DEANE

A shortage of teacher funds
has caused an administrative
crisis in the District school sys-
tenn. which is due to reopen
Monday.
Principals Of 20 or more ele-
mentary schools have been in
formed that they will be one or
more teachers shorthanded for
the fall term. it was learned
today.
Notice Of the shortage, which
was not given to the principals
until a meeting two days ago. is
causing widespread reorganiza-
ton in many schools. Some
classes must be doubled up and
many will be oversize.
Salary Money withheld
Cause of the last-minute crisis,
according to Deputy Supt.
Charles N. Zellers, was a refusal
by secondary school admins
traitors to release salary money
to the lower level.
Mr.. Zellers said secondary
schools have a considerable
teacher surplus, and that he had
recommended that the funds be
transferred a year ago.
Mr.. Zellers' statement was
challenged by one Of the adj
ministrators involved. however
DR.. Carl F. Hansen. in charge
of high schools. said he had not
agreed to release salaries because
the high schools themselves are
lshorthanded.
They can't be spared" DR..
Hansen declared. We've had
to close out some positions our
selves"
Mr.. Zellers. who has charge
Of business affairs. said about so
teaching positions are involved
in the crisis. This number. he
said. represents the size Of a
teacher surplus in the junior and
senior high schools.
He said some Of the SO salaries
cannot be transferred to ele-
mentary schools because Of 5d-
ministrative complications. But
he said he felt most could be
spared.
1T would cause less disruption
than the present situation" he
asserted.
Principals Disturbed
Principals. some Of whom al
ready have complained TO Board
lof Education members about
their plight. were indignant
about the last-minute notice.
| School organization plans
made last June are having to
be completely revised in some
cases. they said.

teachers up or down." one prin-
cipal said.

ing groups. Now I have a class
with no teacher. They should
have known this long ago.
Even my playground schedule
is wrecked" she added.
Another principal said the
shortage will mean reassignine
children who were to be In q
special slow class to q regular
igroup.
Miss Edith Lyons. who has
charge Of elementary schools
declined to discuss the situation
School Superintendent Hobart
I'M. Corning could not be reached
for comment.

shipping firms ana the new
York-New Jersey Waterfront
Commission tried to get the men
back to work by court action.
Scores of ships were idle and
cargoes were piling up on piers.
Some 10 ships we're tied up in
New York harbor.
The strike has immooilized
$40 million a day in export and
import shipments on the New
York-New Jersey waterfront
alone.
The International Longshore-
mems association undo al
ready has ignored one tempo
rary restraining order issued
since some $4,000 men walked
of the New York-New Jersey
piers on Wednesday.
The employers, the 17O-mem-
Der New York Shipping Associa-
ton, charge that since no labor
dispute exists, the lila is trying
to coerce them into fighting the
avowed LILA target: the bi-State
agency set up two years ago to
police the piers.
The association also goes to
the State Supreme Court today
to ask a contempt citation
against the union which. il
granted, could result in a heavy
fine.
In walking out, the LILA further
defied an l8-month-old State
court Injunction banning a strike
aimed against activities OF the
Waterfront Commission.
Charges Collision
lila President william v,
Bradley charged yesterday that
the association and the commits
sion have connived to break up
our union and any union on the
waterfront.
The union contends the two
member commission has used
harsh and discriminatory meas
ures against dock workers-in-
cluding misuse of subpoena
powers, harassing longshoremen
with previous criminal records,
and generally overstepping its
authority.
The commission, in denying
all the allegations. has accused
union leadership of "lawlessness
and goonism."
In Jersey City, N. j.. yester-
day a temporary restraining
order was issued against eight
LILA locals. The union was d.
rected to appear in court next
Tuesday.

Five thousand lockers were

Albany Not Striking
From Albany, N. Y, last night
came word that 200 longshore-
men at the port there had de.
cided not to join the strike.
The men in Albany stopped
unloading a grain ship yester-
day afternoon to attend a meet
ing. They repeatedly did moi
return to work because it was
too late in the day.
In New York, about 10 ship
sailings were either cancelled or
delayed. No large passenger
liners were seriously affected

personnel helping to take care Of

However, the British liner
