land and site costs vary widely,
the comparison is thus most
properly made on the basis OF
construction costs only.
The st. Johns School itself has
eight classrooms, each with di-
mensions of % feet 4 inches by
80 feet 8 inches. There is o a
foot 6-inch by S-foot 2-inch
heater room for each two class
rooms, plus another for the ad-
ministrative section-making five
furnaces in all. Besides the class
rooms, there are five administra-
tive rooms, lobby and corridor,
and boys and girls lavatories.
Administrative rooms include a
reception room, principals office.
health room, teachers room and
storeroom.
The school itself has overall
dimensions Of ITO feet 6 inches
by 81 feet 8 inches with four
classrooms on each side Of q CEN
tral corridor.
Each classroom has its own
exit to the outside. and each has
an adjacent paved area serving
as an outside classroom" for use
in mild weather.
Total cost Of the job. excluding
site work and land. was 500. $40.
This included architectural.
mechanical and structural engi-
neering fees of $6,687. and blue
prints and printing costs of $409
Site work costs amounted to $20.-
347. making the total cost $113,-
967.
In submitting his school con-
struction proposals the other day.
the President described in a nut
shell the overall dimensions Of
the problem, as follows:
"Tbe latest information SUBJ
mitted by the States to the ONCE
of Education indicates there is a
deficit of more than 100000
classrooms, a legacy-in part-of
the years of war and defense
mobilization when construction
had to be curtailed.
I'm addition, to keep up with
mounting enrollments, the Ma
ton must build at least $4,000
new elementary and high school
classrooms yearly. 1t must also
replace thousands of classrooms
which become unsafe or other
wise unusable each year.
During the current school
year, about $4,000 new class
rooms are being built. Capital
outlays for public school con-
Evening star., 1955-02-26

struction will reach an all-time
high of 50 billion this year.
During the last five years,
new construction costing over 81
billion has provided new class
rooms for 6,75O,OO0 pupils in our
public schools. During that time,
more than SIS million additional
children enrolled in school. Thus
the rate of construction has more
than kept pace with mounting
enrolment. But it has only
slightly reduced the total class
room deficit"
With this kind of a problem,
and the difficulties of solving it
being apparently so formidable,
there is probably more reason
today for school officials and
others to cast about for new
ideas, new formulas, new meth
ods and approaches than ever
before.
For. as the President said in
his message. millions of chill
dren still attend schools which
are unsafe or which permit learn
ing only part time or under con-
ditions of serious overcrowding, I"
and Ito build satisfactory class
rooms for all our children, the
current rate of school building
must be multiplied sharply, and
this increase must be sustained" "
Construction Of the Washing
ton cost-cutting school was pos
sible at all only because it was
designed to be built at a cost
well below average.
I'VE just could not have gone
ahead with it under higher-cost
circumstances" the Rev. Paul R.

Decision Due.
omorroW on
Retrouctivity
BY JOSEPH YOUNG

The House Civil Service Com
mittee today approved a fat rs
per cent pay raise for the Gov
ernment's more than / million
classified employees.
The committee will meet to-
morrow to decide on retroactive
aspects of the raise.
The committees approval OF
the rs per cent increase was a
compromise which ended the
bitter fight between hackers Of
an 8 per cent raise and those
who backed the z per cent urged
by the administration.
$50 Raise Beaten
The move to give classified
employes the 8 per cent boost
accorded postal workers failed
Iby 12-to-12 vote, with one
committee member abstaining.
Then a move to provide a rs
Iper cent increase on the first
step of each salary grade, with
the cash increase applied to all
other steps of the grade, was
defeated.
Finally the committee approved
Ia fiat rs per cent increase for
steps and grades in the clasSi-
fled service. This provision was
sponsored by Representative
Alexander, Democrat, of North
Carolina, and would apply a fiat
rs per cent raise on all steps
and grades under the classifica-
ton act. The provision was
adopted by a vote of 16 to 6.
100000 Benefit Here
More than 100000 Government
classified employees in the WASH
ington area would benefit under
the bill. The measure also would
provide rs per cent pay raise
to District Government classified
workers and legislative and judi.
cial employees.
The Senate several months
ago approved a 10 per cent
classified pay advance and has
been waiting on House action so
that the difference between the
two measures can be adjusted in
conference.
The committee did not lift the
ceiling for classified workers and
consequently employees in the top
grade 18 ($14,800) would not get
an increase.
After the committees vote,
Representative Moss, Democrat.
of California, announced he
would make a fight on the House
floor to increase the amount to
8 per cent.
Among the 16 members voting
in favor of the rs per cent in
crease were Chairman Murray
and Representative Rees, Repub-
lican, of Kansas, the groups
ranking minority member. Both
previously had strongly sup
ported the Z per cent boost IA
vored by the administration.

Peron Backers
Call Big Strike
Labor Takes Stand
In Catholic Feud

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina
June IA (P).-President Juan Pc.
ron's massive labor following
rallied for a nine-hour nation
wide strike today to demonstrate
their loyalty to their leader in
his feud with the Roman Cath
olic Church.
Gen. Peron appealed to the
people to be calm alert
and vigilant" in the wake Of
a three-day wave of clashes and
demonstrations spanked by the
church-state dispute. The fight.
ing marked one Of the most
crucial periods in his nine-year-
old regime.
Attacking the clergy as "a
wolf in sleeps clothing" Gen.
Peron threatened in a nation
wide broadcast last night to
crack down with all his might
on future outbreaks.
Shortly before the President
spoke, fresh fighting erupted in
the Plaza de Mayo in downtown
Buenos Aires. Church supporters
hurled back a crowd of Peron
adherents who charged the Met
ropolitan Cathedral and the ad-
joining archbishop's palace in
an effort to mount an Argentine
flag on the palace. The Peron-
istas shouted 'Peron yes! Priests
mol" as they rushed the building.
20 Already Injured
There were no reports Of any
injuries in the battle. Twenty
nine persons were injured Sun
day in rioting around the Ca
thedral. Some 470 persons were
arrested over the week end, most
of them Catholic faithful who
took refuge in the Episcopal pal
ace when the rioting broke out.
The nationwide strike demon
stration was called by the Cen
eral Confederation of Labor
(CGT), whose six million mem
bers constitute one of the strong
est pillars of the Peronista move
ment. 1t was welded together by
Gen. Peron and his wife Eva
during the last years of her life.
The CGT called for the stop
page of all but a few activities
in the country, between mid
afternoon and midnight. Dur
ing the shutdown, workers were
called to mass rallies in the
plaza fronting the capitol in
Buenos Aires and at other spots
over the land.
Transportation and newspaper
workers planned a 15-minute
sympathy strike in the late after
noon.
"Vindication" Rallies
The CGT called the gatherings
"vindication" rallies for the
alleged burning of the Argentine
flag and destruction of a plaque
on the capitol honoring Mrs.
Peron during the giant Corpus
Christi Catholic parade Saturday.
The government which had
banned the parade but did not
interfere, accused Catholics of
those acts, but a church spokeS-
man asserted anyone attributing
the acts to Catholics is guilty
of solemn lies"
Asserting his regime would act
with discipline and energy" if
the occasion arose, Gen. Peron
