PROTESTS: Large protest meetings were held
in several cities in Palestine this week to protest
practice of British immigration officials of de-
porting immigrants "on the slightest pretext." The
Municipality of all-Jewish Tel Aviv charged, in a
memorandum to the British Colonial Office in Lon
don that "the expulsons are an insult to the entire
Jewish population" The Colonial Office, asked for
comment said would not accept the protest because
such memoranda had to come through the High
Commissioners office in Palestine.

Albany by the State Board of Regents The Board

CALLOUSNESS: President Truman with "very
great reluctance this week signed the Displaced Per-
sons bill which will admit 2O5 900 DPS to the United
States in the next two years. The measure has been
severely criticized by most Jewish organizations as

Piers Renew
Slot Machine
Licenses
BY a star Stan Writer

COLONIAL BEACH. Va,
May 1.-The jingle-jangle Of
slot machines will echo out
over the Potomac River from
this resort for another month
at least.
The three big gambling piers
here have renewed slot licenses
for the annual period starting
today, even though a new
Maryland law bans slots after
June in casinos on Maryland
soil on the Virginia shore.
The Little Reno and Jackpot
casinos, owned by the Connors
brothers interests, paid $46,-
$50 to Charles County, Md.
this week for licenses to oper-
ate 279 slots. Until yesterday
the two casinos were licensed
to run $50 machines.
The Monte Carlo casino paid
$17,500 in annual license fees
to keep its 100 slots running
legally.
j. Earl Milstead, license
supervisor for Charles County
said the new licenses carried
the stipulation, Subject to the
Acts of the General Assembly Of
1885," which set the June
deadline for outlawing the
gambling devices on the Vir-
ginia piers.
The slots owners, however
can transfer the machines to
Charles County proper across
the river, after June /.
In the meantime, they may
initiate a court test of the out
having legislation.

Pay Rise Bill
OF Teuchers
introduced

Representative Abernethy,
Democrat Of Mississippi, today
said he had introduced a more
generous pay bill for District
teachers at the request of the
classroom instructors them
selves.
Spokesman for school teach
ers who failed to win approval
from the Board of Education
for their salary proposals took
their bid to the Representative,
who heads the House District
Education Subcommittee.
Their proposal would increase
starting pay scales of teachers
with bachelors degrees from
$1,000 to $4,000 annually. This
compares with $4,000 starting
salary in the Board of Educa-
ton salary schedule. now await
ing action by the District Com
missioners.
The Abernethy bill also calls
for a $36,800 annual salary for
the District school superintend-
ent. He now draws $4,000
maximum. But a separate
measure to raise the superin-
tendent's salary to $22, 900
already has passed the Senate.
Representative Abernethy
said his sponsorship of this
most liberal pay bill now before
Congress for local officials did
not mean that he was commit
ted to it.
Although school pay bills in
the past have been considered
by his subcommittee, Mr.. Aber-
nethy said none Of them had
crossed his desk yet.

The

To Walter Scherer
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

The Rambler stopped in
the Senate Press Gallery
yesterday
The gallery is more than
several rows OF seats high
above the chair Of the Presi-
dent Of the Senate. who is
also Vice President Of the
United States.
Behind the door leading
10 these choice seats for the
great debates, which occur
all too infrequently, there Is
a comfortable room with a
fireplace, writing tables and
leather-covered touches.
Joe Wills, the superintend-
ent OF the gallery, said,
This is Walter Scherer's
last day. He's retiring from
Western Union"
Walter Scherer is a nice
looking man, with almost
white hair, combed straight
back. He has that pink COM

WALTER SCHERER first
came to the Senate Press
Gallery in 1909 as a Western
Union copy boy-49 years
ago. He learned his trade.
He was a good journeyman.
He was assigned to the
Navy Department and, as
war approached, he was
asked to enlist. He did so
on the morning of April 6,
1917, and on that afternoon
he sent the declaration of
war on Imperial Germany to
the fleet.
He thought he was going
to sea. He had ideas of
transmitting orders by radio
telegraph during naval
battles. But he was kept in
Washington and, on Novem-
Der II, 1918, he received the
armistice, word for word, for
the Navy Department.
He was White House teleg-
rapher during the Coolidge
and Hoover administrations.
He went to the Senate Press
Gallery in 1892. The teleg-
raphers in the gallery also
sent Supreme Court deci-
sions, and he remembers the
dispatch of $1,000 words in
one afternoon in 1933-the
opinions on the abandon
ment of the gold standard.
The machines we're in use
then, but much of the trans
mission was Morse. Seven
operators worked on it.
He worked for 24-hour
stretches during filibusters.
He covered the national
political conventions from
1885 and travelled with the
campaign trains. He sent
the play-by-play accounts Of
the World Series from the
press boxes for more than
20 years. He transmitted
the declaration Of war
against Japan on December
8, 1941, and, in 1914, he func-
toned in the ceremonies at
the Capitol observing the
centennial of the telegraph.
The nous message,
What hath God wrought"
was sent from the same
room, the old Supreme Court
Chamber on the first floor.

Judge Noyes said the Juve-

unchaperoned parties. He noted
that the use of automobiles
adds to the problem, since
