Officials Heard
On Plea 10 Add
1870 Teachers
Subcommittee Told
Of diversified Class
Problem in Schools

Washington school officials to-
day were hopeful that they had
convinced members of the House
Appropriations Subcommi ttee
in charge of the District budget
of the need to add 1870 additional
teachers to the school system.
They made their plea for the
extra teachers yesterday after
noon when the subcommittee
was considering the S37.8 million
school budget for the next fiscal
year.
The additional teachers would
add about 5000. 900 to the funds
recommended for the schools by
the District Commissioners.
Representative Rabaut, Demo-
crat of Michigan, chairman OF
the subcommittee. was non-conl-
initial, as were other members
of the group.
Committee Keeps Mum
Committee members are under
instructions to keep mum about
their decisions until the supply
bill has been taken before the
full Appropriations Committee.
The Commissioners decided
they could not recommend more
than 40 additional teachers be-
cause of the state OF District
finances. AS one official said.
the issue revolves around the
question OF available money.
The fiscal subcommittee of
the House and Senate District
Committees will meet Monday
to put the finishing touches on
the new District revenue bill,
designed to bring in an addi-
Itional SOL million a year. This
involves heavy new layers OF
taxes and a proposed So million
increase in the Federal payments
The case for providing an ad-
Iditional 1870 teachers was pre-
scented by DR.. Hobart M. Corn
ling, superintendent of schools,
who was backed up by three
members Of the Board Of Edu-
cation. They were c. Melvin
Sharpe, president Of the board,
Mrs. Frank S. Phillips and West
"A. Hamilton.
One member said 1--WE were
given a very friendly and CO.
operative hearing. We were led
to believe that members of the
subcommittee were impressed
with the outline OF the school
problem"
Chance to Outline Need
The subject Of more teachers
than the Commissioners had
recommended was brought up by
Chairman Rabaut, giving the
school authorities a full chance
to outline the need. 1t was re-
ported the subcommittee men,
bers inquired about the size of
the classes and that there was
discussion also of whether 1t
would be possible to transfer some
junior and senior high school
teachers to the elementary
schools where the diversified class
problem prevails.
In advance Of the opening Of
the District budget hearings
which are held behind closed
doors in keeping with House
practices-school officials we're
sent notices advising them they
should not offer arguments for
funds in excess Of what was con-
tanned in the Commissioners
budget. District officials, how
ever, insist this is standard prac-
tice and that the same instruc.
tons went to all the city de-
partments.
Once a member of an appro-
priatjons subcommittee asks for
views or information about
things not in the budget, the
wraps are off and officials are
free to testify. This was the
case yesterday.
The Rabaut Subcommittee will
resume Its hearings Monday,
when the police and fire de-
Ipartment budgets will be taken
up.

control of the eaSt-a strip of
land about rs miles wide and
375 miles long, with a population
of some 100000 almost entirely
African.
France is now in the process
of giving her section of Togo
land "self-government" stat-
ute, providing for a local Pre-
mier and a Cabinet responsible
to a local assembly. Many vital
powers are reserved to French
administration, but the statute
is nevertheless revolutionary in
the French colonial system.
Following up the self-govern-
ment statute, France will hold
plebiscite in October so Togo
landerS can vote on whether to
continue the trusteeship or be-
come linked formally with the
French Union. They will not
have an opportunity to vote on
independence.
Against these moves, African
nationalist leaders in French
Togoland are leveling some
serious charges. They assert that
u the plebiscite is being held too
soon for the United Nations to
send any effective Observers, p
registration officials are loading
the rolls in favor of the French,
- police are harassing opposi-
ton meetings. In short, it is
charged, France is moving post
haste to incorporate Togoland
and confront the United Ma
tions with an accomplished fact.

NIXON FAILS TO SPEAK UP ON
CIVIL RIGHTS IN OKLAHOMA CITY
AND HOUSTON

According to the ms press
service Vice President Richard
N. Nixon "failed to speak up on
civil rights in his first two pub
lie addresses in the south at
Oklahoma City and Houston. In
Washington he had said any
candidate should do so. He ex-
planned when he was asked
about this that he was saving
his civil rights speech for Louis
vile; Kentucky"
At the Houston news confer
ence, Nixon said the nation can
not afford discrimination either
at home abroad. Every evidence
of racial discrimination is blown
up a thousand times abroad, he
said, and must be avoided. The
vice president said the nation
cannot afford but to achieve
equality Of opportunity for both
races when the contribution of
Negro citizens tot he arts and
sciences is considered. GAS far
as the Supreme Court decision
is concerned, we must have a
moderate steady advance in
keeping with that decision"

he attended Duke University

prize. The success was great and
the affair was supported 80 per
cent of the membership. DIT. Ann

under a light allowing the huge
crowd to judge the contest. Sew
eral hundred dollars was raised
through this effort. Again we say
thanks for everything. Dts. Hes

tickets. Greater Miami could not
exist without these wonderful

man of this affair and hats off to
her.
