District Officials at Odds
On Increase in Paroles

for each man with one having
$50 short-term PAROLES.
In order to make an expanded
parole and probation program
effective. it has been argued, 1t
would be necessary to hire
enough extra field officers to re-
duce the case load to IS or 20
per man.
Mr.. jacob, however, insisted
that he. as member Of the Pa
role Board since 1852 when he
replaced Leo Rover. now chief
Judge of the Municipal Court OF
Appeals. has never considered the
question Of case load.
He said he is willing to release
a man on parole only when
think he's entitled to il. I have
never refused a parole because
Of a heavy case load. We make
the officers do their Job whether
they have SO cases or 80 cases. "
Parole Board to state Views
Hugh F.. Rivers. parole execu-
tive and the one paid. full-time
member Of the three-man board
said the board would welcome
any study which might strength
en- or enlarge the parole system. y
] He pointed out, however, that
the parole system is not intended
to relieve overcrowding in Jail
and prison facilities.
Mr.. Rivers said the Parole
Board would make a formal
statement on the proposed study
tomorrow.
A spokesman for the Federal
governments parole board re-
fused 70 comment on the ground
that IL would be inappropriate

II think the Commissioners
will increase the budget, prob
ably"
1t was also learned that school
leaders left a meeting with the
city heads last week feeling they
had won their battle.
Top school administrators and
the Board of Education have
been trying for months to con-
vince the Commissioners that
more teachers-and consequently
more funds-are needed to i'm
prove classroom conditions in
the city's schools.
Partial Victory
Over the heads Of the city ad-
ministrators. school leaders and
parents won a partial victory
before Congress last summer
Funds were voted to add enough
teachers-though only a relative
handful-to lower the city's aver
age elementary class size from a
traditional 36 to a fraction over
IS.
But next year the school aim is
to cut the class average to 80.
The hope for the year after that
is to reach final goal of 80,
which would put the Capitals
schools for the first time on a
par with the operational stand
ard in Maryland and Virginia.
To reach next falls projected
80, substantial increase in the
teacher force was asked in next
years school budget request.
Initially, city budget officers
turned this down.
But the Commissioners later
tentatively reversed this action,
pending further study. Last week,
school sources indicated and Mr.
Karrick's statement appeared to
confirm. the city heads appar-
emily reached the conclusion
that the teacher increase was
warranted.
Expect Approval
AS a result, school leaders now
expect that the formal city
budget as it goes to the President
and, eventually. to Congress will
include most, if not all, the addi-
tional funds necessary to achieve
the proposed class average of
80 next year.
The exact budget action is not
expected to be disclosed by the
city heads. Under Federal rules,
such disclosures are barred prior
to the time the entire budget is
forwarded to Congress.
Mr.. Karrick. speaking on the
weekly Report to the People
program over Station WWDC,
made his remark last night IN
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-28

answer to questions about last
weeks school-budget negotia-
lions.
When asked first whether a
last-minute slash in the teacher
request by School Supt. Hobart
IN. Corning had improved pros
poets for the school proposals,
the Commissioner was noncom-
initial.
Specific Question
He then was asked specifi-
Ically whether the Commissioners
intended to enlarge the school
budget. And to this he gave his
affirmative answer.
Later, he gave what seemed to
be a qualification of the state
ment. calling a budget increase
"a possibility" But in question
ing after the broadcast, he said
he would stand by what had
been said.
The total additional teachers
now being sought for the class
size improvement program next
Iyear-and the total believed to
be getting the green light from
the CommisSioners-is 1870.
School officials already have
agreed at the suggestion of the
Commissioners themselves to
provide "a of these by dropping
plans to hire some new assistant
principals.
The remaining 90 teacher SAL
aries are what school leaders
last week especially urged the
city heads to grant. The amount
needed for them is around
$474.0OO.
Key Amount
Mr.. Karrick said he wasn't in
a position to discuss any specific
figures. But this is the key
amount which it appears the
city heads are preparing to add
to the pending school budget
request.
The pending school operating
estimate, without this item, is
in the neighborhood of $34
million.
DR., Corning's laSt-minute slash
in the teacher expansion request
amounted to 48 teachers. He said
the reduction was possible be-
cause of a downward revision of
next falls enrolment estimate.
The Commissioners already
had agreed to hiring 80 new
teachers in order to meet an en-
rollment gain. DR.. Corning said
48 Of these salaries could now
be counted into the program for
improving the pupil teacher
ratio.

Mr.. Mclaughlin. who is presi-

pointed to the close tie between

Mr.. Stevenson's attitude, he said.
Both Commissioners are Re-
