$4,000 Rise
Requested for
School Head

The District commissioners
have asked Congress to raise
the salary Of WASHINGTON s
school superintendent to S22.-
900 a year.
Supt. Hobart NJ. Corning
now receives $4,000.
The Commissioners action
took the form OF a proposal TO
amend the 1855 Teachers SAL
ary Act. The act sets a scale
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000
for the school chief. depend
ing on VII sther he holds an
earned bachelors. masters or
doctors degree. Supt. Corning S
doctorate is honorary.
The city heads. who cleared
the proposal in advance with
the Federal Budget Bureau.
urged early enactment Of the
boost. which was requested by
the Board Of Education.
The School Board is looking
for a successor to DR.. Corninq.
who is scheduled to retire next
March. Board members have
cited the higher pay as a de-
sirable incentive in attracting
qualified candidates.
The Commissioners already
had indicated their approval
OF the move. which also was
supported by city administra-
tive officials. officials found in
survey that Washington S
superintendent is underpaid in
comparison with most other
big-city chiefs. some OF whom
earn 100000 or more.
Whether the raise can win
approval soon enough to affect
Dr.. Corning depends on Con-
gress.

Q transcript Of the interview in
which Mr.. Duffy had asked why
no search warrant was obtained
after Smith had refused to ex-
plain how he happened to show
UP in q hospital with a gunshot
wound shortly after someone
had fired wildly at two trucks
Of the B g. S Motor Line Of
Nashville.
Smith was not in one OF the
trucks. Ofiicers quoted him as
giving no explanation of how
he was shot except to say that
1t was by a friend and acci-
dental.
Recorded Reply Read
Senator Mcclellan read this
recorded reply from Reynolds
as to why he got no search
warrant in the investigation Of
Smiths shooting.
We'll. / don't really know
what to say as to why. Well.
We more or less keep out of
union trouble as much as pos
sible. and I would say 1t was
done--it may have been for
political reasons. All We do
Is take orders"
Before the hearing. commit
tee members said their pro-
gram for the day called for
checking first on the vigor with
which Tennessee officers have
sought TO solve l73 cases Of
shootir ss. bombing and other
acts Of terrorism in labor dis
putes.
Woman Witness Due
Then, they said. they would
seek to get from a woman wit
ness some clues as TO those
responsible for extensive labor
violence in Tennessee and
nearby States.
Chairman Mcclellan launched
the inquiry yesterday with a
charge that Teamsters and bar
bers unions have used COON
squads to try to enforce their
will. and that in certain in
stances" law-enforclng OH
cials failed to investigate the
incidents properly.
Two Knoxville officials,

the latter hour the time re-
naming before a launching
assuming that all went, wen
from then on--was four hours
and so minutes.
The reasons for the delays
were not announced but they
could be guessed at. There were
endless numbers of things that
could 60 wrong at the last
moment.
Too Busy TO Tell
The men In charge were too
busy TO tell reporters their
troubles.
Il don't know how many
thousands of components are
involved" Mr.. Walsh had told
reporters during the count
down this morning.
1T would be foolish if every
time some one adjusted a screw
we had to stop and tell the
world he adjusted it. We're
trying to fly rockets.
At / am. tEST) the Defense
Department announced that a
six-hour countdown, or final
time checking process. was
starting in hopes Of a launch
ing at sunrise, at 7 am.
One ofiicer reported at $50
am. that the hold" was still
on. At 4 am. an official report
said the project had been
holding" since 3 am. at IT
Minus 20 Zero"-he meant 290
minutes or almost five hours
before any actual launching.
The launching site itself was
closed to newsmen. not because
the Vanguard project is secret
1t is not-but because an as
sortment Of secret military
missiles is in the area, await
ing testing along the 5000
mile range from Cape Cana
veral to Ascension Island.
The Vanguard program is a
part Of the worldwide co-ordi-
mated scientific survey under
way during the International
Geophysical Year. The efforts
will lead inevitably to attempts
to launch insects and animals
and eventually man himself
into space.
Earlier Attempt Cancelled
Earlier this week an attempt
to launch the big Martin Co.
Vanguard rocket was called of
after only so minutes remained
Of an ll-hour countdown
which. with its long series Of
holds" lasted almost 10 hours.
That was on Wednesday.
One Of the major technical
was a stubborn,
leaky disconnect valve to a
liquid oxygen tank.
Even more important, brisk
low-level winds and high-speed
jet streams in the upper alti-
tudes presented any slowly
rising. heavy and slendel
rocket such as the Vanguard
with the danger Of being
broken In two.

third-stage rocket. containing
the test earth satellite and us
ing q solid propellant. was still
out there somewhere" on the
fiat land surrounding the
launching site. He indicated
1t possibly could be salvaged.
Capt. Horn said q total Of AZ
scientists and technicians were

rocket ran out of power and
collapsed. He said these in

and 20 employees Of the Martin
Co.. which built the device.
Percentages Against Us"
All Of them. he said, were in
safe refuge behind the heavily
reinforced walls Of the block
house.
AS for when there will be
another try, Capt. Horn said:
I'VE will fire when ready"
Comdr. Smith took the posi-
ton that. while the failure
was a disappointment. 1t is one
of the things that can be ex-
pected in developing a new
rocket.
You know the percentages
we're against us because we had
three real beauts. It's like not
having an auto accident for
three years" Comdr. Smith
said,
First Three Went Well
He referred to the first three
tests which have been officially
described as going of very we'll.
The first test vehicle. named
Two, was fired December 8,
1856, in a single-stage test
using a Martin Viking rocket.
The second test, TV-1 on May !
Of this year, was q two-step
rocket using q Viking and a
prototype Of the Vanguard's
third stage. TV-2 came October
% and was q firing of Van
guards first stage with dummies
hooked on for the second and
third stages.
In today's Tv-3 test. the sec
ond stage was to have been
fired for the first time.
The launcher used today had
been at Cape Canaveral since
last August. The tempo Of pre-
liminary work necessary for
firing was stepped up only after
Russia had put up its satellites.
A hoped-for dawn launching
failed to materialize after q
series Of holds" interrupted
the long and detailed count
down process which precedes
any rocket or missile firing.
The longest OF these holds"
lasted from 8 am. to $50 am.

Meanwhile. top AFL CIO
leaders expressed cautious ap-
proval Of a labor-m management
legislative program the Eisen-
hover administration will sub
NIT to Congress next month.
The program was unfolded
by Secretary of Labor Mitchell
in an address before the con-
vention yesterday.
Mr.. Mitchell said the pro-
gram had been cleared with
President Eisenhower as late
as Wednesday and also had
been discussed with Republican
congressional leaders al their
meeting with the President at
the White House, and with the
cabinet.
The Secretary said the pro-
gram would help organized
labor maintain its strength and
integrity. At the same time he
pledged that the administra-
ton would not propose or sup
port "union busting" laws.
He told the convention the
administration would oppose
any proposals for a Federal
right-to-work law. backed by
many employer groups. Eight
cen States now have such a
law forbidding employers from
signing union contracts calling
for compulsory union member
ship.
Antitrust Extension Hit
Mr.. Mitchell also said he
would oppose extension Of anti
trust laws TO cover labor unions.
and that the administration
was not proposing such legis-
lation.
Major provisions Of the ad-
ministration's program as out
lined by Mr.. Mitchell included:
