Fails in Crisis,
Corning Argues
BY JAMES G. DEANE

Plans of District school off,
Gals to seek a long-term school
construction loan have the back
ing Of Board of Education mem
berS.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing won approval for the plan
from the boards finance COM
mittee yesterday, Other board
members present also Endorsed
the idea.
DR.. Corning said present pay
as-you-go financing cannot meet
the city'S needs for new class
rooms.
The school chief said the city
has a tremendous backlog of
needed construction. He ascribed
this partly to enrolment growth
and population shifting and
partly to restrictions on con-
struction during the Korean hos
Utilities and World War II.
Caught by Rising Costs
He also noted that the
construction budget has been
overtaken by rising costs.
DR. Corning said it is mot
fair to expect the present tax
payers to bear the entire burden
for needs which have accumu-
lated ever the years, particu-
larly when we consider that the
useful life of a school building
exceeds so years"
Future generations should
bear part of the cost, he said,
adding a borrowing program
would accomplish this.
DR.. Corning told board men,
bers he has instructed the as
sistant superintendent in charge
of the various school levels to
study and report on all expected
construction needs up to Sep
TENDER, 1862. He said a cost
estimate on these projects will
be completed soon.
A number of school-building
projects are included in the
city's long-range public works
program. but DR.. Corning said
experience has shown" that
additional financing is necessary.
Advocated in 1947
He noted that he advocated
a borrowing plan as early as
1947 but that this and later eff
forts had not been fruitful.
| The school superintendent saio
he was willing to have either 9
Federal Government loan or a
public bond issue considered
Deputy Supt. Charles N. zellers
who directs school business af-
fairs, has advocated a Govern
ment loan, however.
On other matters yesterday
board members tentatively APP
proved a proposal by DR.. Corning
for increasing the school system S
supervisory staff, and another
for enabling teachers with spe-
cial qualifications to qualify for
extra pay. /
The superintendent asked per-
mission to divert any extra funds
that may be made available by
retirementS and designations to
hiring additional supervisors for
the elementary schools.
New Teachers a Factor
The added supervisors are
needed because of the school
systems large number of new
and temporary teachers, he said
The lack of an adequate super
visory force was cited in recent
congressional hearings by Mrs.
Bessie w. Cramer. elementary
instruction director.
On the salary matter, DR.
Corning suggested that a set of
rules be drawn up under which
some teachers could qualify for
premium pay now allowed for
those with masters degrees plus
80 additional hours of college
credits. The teachers would be
able to qualify through equiva-
lent experience, rather than the
formal course credits. he said

Hit by SEC Examiner
School Budget Advisers
Hinto at Federal Loans

The Citizens Advisory Council
has limited that Congress should
be tapped for Federal loans as
well as the full authorized $28
million Federal payment to meet
deficiencies in the Districts
public school construction pro-
gram in the fiscal year begin
ming next July /.
The advisory body took this
position late yesterday in filing
its overall budget recommends
tions with the District Com
misSionerS.
For the most part. the adj
visers went along with the
recommendations of the munich
/ pal budget Office for proposed
construction and operating ex-
penses in the 1853 fiscal year
Under the proposal of the budget
staff, the Districts total budget
would be 5000 million.
The advisory council, how
ever, confined its attention tc
those items that would be paic
/ for out of the so-called genera,
fund. This according to calcu-
lations, should provide no more
than $153 million for such
operations as schools. health anc
welfare.
Fails to Specify
On the subject of schools, the
council failed to specify which
construction projects it fell
should be undertaken.
Whereas the school system
initially requested nearly 81!
million for new construction
alone, the budget Office cut thii
by nearly one half. In addition
$3.1 million requested increases
over the 1857 appropriation TO-
school operating expenses wa
recommended by the bulge
office to be cut by nearly two
thirds for a total estimate o
$34 million.

THE OTHER STATUES, on
the south side of the steps,
are supposed to show Column
bus with a globe in his hand,
explaining the mysteries of
the planet to a squaw.
Indian critics complain be-
cause the Squaw is undraped,
having forgotten to put on a
petticoat, brassiere, gloves or
much of anything else. What's
more, she is cringing at the
feet of the Admiral of the
Ocean Sea.
The critics have a point.
The scene suggests q high
school coach barging into the
girls shower to demand who
let the air out Of this volley
baIl?"
Greenough got into trouble
with Congress on another of
his statues. He did an OUTSIDE
job Of Washington, showing
the Father of His Country sans
shirt. The howls were so loud
over that bare-chested error
that the lawmakers finally
kicked the stone George clean
out Of the Capitol and into
the Smithsonian.
Each group has had its
defenders. There is one point
for which this corner has
found no logical explanation,
though, much less defense.
The group with the white
and red men wrestling in
cludes a dog. This trifiing cur
apparently had some reason
to be there, since the disagree
ment is degenerating into a
dog fight, but his intent is not
clear. Nor is 1t plain who
owns him.
Will the Senator from Ten
nessee go pro or anti on the
statues If he wins next
month"; And, If Mr.. Nixon
hangs on to his job, what are
his feelings on this Redman
issue?

THE MARBLE GROUP to
the north is the one that
raises the most ire. Indians
have denounced it as "a
gratuitouS insult" Congress
men have submitted bills to
have the carving removed,

Called 1.-THE Rescue" the
group depicts a frontiersman
about to clobber an Indian he
interrupted as the ignoble
aborigine prepared to give a
pioneer madonna a Golf with
a tomahawk. The woman is
crouching, clutching her babe.
Tribal spokesman have
shouted that it represents the
Indian in too savage a light.
But long ago, friends of the
sculptor complained that the
grouping wasn't savage
enough. They said the ar
rangement of the figures was
all loused up. Instead of the
woman being to one side as
she is, she was supposed to
have been directly in front
of the warrior, they said.
Their way, the scene would
have been more gripping.
The sculptor, Horace Green
ough, died before he could get
around to supervise the plac-
ing of his figures, thus the
mixup.

When the two-diamond bid

OF course Mr. Dale didn't 60 up

He led a heart and ruffed it

Mrs. Keen showed out it was
clear that diamond and a
heart still had to be lost. So
Mr.. Abel made two diamonds
with a couple of overtricks.
Naturally this failed to satisfy
Mr.. Champion. "Will you kind
