Quick Action Promised
On Teachers Pay Bill

Chairman Bible of the Senate
District Fiscal subcommittee to-
day promised immediate action"
on teachers pay legislation at
the conclusion of a two-day
hearing on the subject.
"It is very obvious to me that
you need salary increases" he
told witnesses at the closing ses-

Senator Bible ordered the rec

so that the committee staff can
begin its study. A report is
hoped for by next week.
The committees report may
lie somewhere between the ex-
tremes of various pay proposals
discussed at the hearing.
Beall Bill Favored
Witnesses today mainly sup

duced by Senator Beall. Repub-

and reclassif1cations which would
mean a total cost of about Sc

Fears Bill Too High

Beall bill is close to ideal, but in
the face Of Washington's finan-
cial plight fears for its chances.
She asked that any bill forth
coming utilize details worked
out in the Beall bill, but be a
little more modest in its de-
mands on the budget. She said
the Commissioners proposal is
not considered adequate.
Pleading for immediate action
along the lines of the Beall bill
also was Mrs. John L. Specie,
representing Area Council Six
of the District Congress of Par
entS and Teachers.
In answer to a question raised
during the hearing about the
proportion of administrative
employees in Washington schools,
DR.. Corning said the District
ranks llth among 18 comparable
cities on the per capita amount
spent. He said there are about

He said his association ia

its executive committee was au-
thorized to act in support of
that bill or such other increases
which might appear to have a
better chance of passage.
Mrs. Henry A. Bartlett. presi-
dent of the Federation of Citi-

Beall bill. with the reservation
that the salary of the superin-

District government.
The Beall bill was urged also
by Lyle w. Ashby. assistant sec

there are unusual complicating

School Supt. Hobart NJ. Corn

on an original school board pro-

allowed he believed there should
be some recomputation to pro-
tect relationships of the various
salary classifications.
The school boards proposal
was presented by C. Melvin
Sharpe, president. Roland F.

Veterans whose applications for
pensions are turned down needn't
drop their claims.
The Veterans Administration,
which handles vets pension
claims, has made it possible to
appeal such decisions. But this
isn't to say that every pension
claim which is turned down
should be appealed.
If your pension application has
been rejected. probably the first
move you should make is to talk
with an officer OF one of your
local veterans organizations.
Chances are he'll be able to tell
you whether there's any point in
making an appeal, whether you
have any chance of overturning
the original decision. Chances
are he'll also be able to tell you
in some detail why you got the
rundown.
You don't have to take any,
ones advice on whether you ap-
peal. It's your decision to make.
About the only thing required in
making the appeal is that you do
SO within year after rejection.
Once year has expired you may
file a completely new application.
but it1l probably be rejected also
unless you can come up with
some new and material evidence.
Here's a rundown of how you
might appeal pension case:
You file a pension application
based on your belief that you
meet the three requirements to
be eligible-served during a war
period, you're totally and per-
manently disabled and you have
yearly income Of less than
81 400 il you have no dependents
or $2,700 II you have dependents.
You get letter from the VA
saying you don't meet the in
come limitations. that you actu-
ally make more than the 81 400
or $2,700 in yearly income. When
you filed the application you
thought you were making less
than the limitation. You still
think so2
