Circular Zone
Cab Rute Plan
To Be Discussed

A uniform circular zone"
system for taxicab rates here
will be discussed informally by
promoters of the system and
the Public Utilities Commission
at 10 am. tomorrow.
Under the system, zones
would be marked off one
mile each in any direction from
the point of origin, with the
present zone rates applicable.
Irving Schlaifer, who drives
his own cab here, said he has
presented the plan to the House
and Senate District Committees.
He said some $50 hackers
have asked to be represented by
the Uniform Circular Zone Sys-
tenn Committee, of which he is
chairman. E. Erwin Dollar is
co-chairman.
Under the system, the trip
from the Capitol to the May
flower or Statler Hotels would
involve two zones instead of
the present one and would cost
rs cents instead of so cents.
The trip from Chevy Chase
circle to Union Station would
cover seven zones, instead of the
four, and would cost 81 instead
of SIPS.

D. c. Jobs Top JobIess
In Recovery Trend

there are slightly more people
looking for work than there are
available jobs in the area. The
"B" classification is the reverse
situation.
Unemployment has continued
to drop slightly in the District
area since the August figures
were made public. according to
Fred z. Hetzel, District direc-
tor of the United States En-
ployment Service.
The improving picture locally,
he said, is largely the result of
q fall squirt in construction
work. Employment in the con-
struction field is expected to
continue to climb until winter
forces the usual end-of the
year showdown.
Washington should retain the
'B" classification for at least
the next four or five months,
Mr.. Hetzel said. Unemployment
here is only 2.6 per cent Of the
labor force, compared with a
national figure of 7 per cent. he
noted.
The August jobless figure was
the lowest of 1858 for the
Washington area. Total en-
ployment rose to $4,000 in
August-an increase of 1.70O
over July.

If the January decree is in
validated, anti-Hoffa forces

rate, the new move stands a
good chance of delaying the

of the compromise settlement
was given through newspaper
coverage.
3. Correct the oversight by
giving notice now, inviting OBJ
jections to the settlement, and
amending the decree in line
with these objections. If Mr..
Hoffa refuses to accept the
amendments, the decree prob
ably would be dissolved and
litigation resumed.
4. Invalidate the decree, GUST
Mr.. Hoffa and resume litiga-
ton.
VIII Amend Petition
The monitors request for a
ruling will take the form of
an amendment to a petition
under which they asked Judge
Let's on September II to force
the Transfers to obey their
cleanup orders. The Septem-
Der II petition also asked Judge
Let's to block Mr.. Hoffa's plan
to seek reelection in his own
right at a February convention
and thus escape further super
vision by the monitors and the
court.
Before the monitors disclosed
their new move last night, the
Transfers filed with Judge
Let's a reply to the original
petition. They commended he
had no right to block the con-
vention or to amend the decree
to give the monitors more
power.
In another challenge to the
monitors, the Teamsters asked
Judge Let's to remove Godfrey
P Schmidt of New York from
the board Of monitors. This
motion charged Mr.. Schmidt
with a conflict Of interest"
and accused him of padding
expense accounts paid by the
Transfers.
The monitors amendment
obviously is inconsistent with
the September II petition,
which it supersedes. But the
amendment is not necessarily a
retreat by the monitors. The
original petition may have been
a stopgap to hold the line
against convention call until
the monitors unraveled legal
technicalities to challenge the
compromise settlement.
Mr.. Schmidt, the lawyer for
the Is rank-and- filters who sued
Mr.. Hoffa, may find that de-

absolutely erroneous" charges
that he helped plot the removal
of Walter Burdette, retired head
of the Bureau Of Food and Pub

District subcommittee TO an

he aided present Bureau Chief
William Cary in a campaign to
dislodge Mr.. Burdette. Mr.. Bur-
dette retired under fire in 1857,
and Mr.. Cary succeeded him.
Mr.. Sands testimony drew
from House District Committee
chairman Mcmillan, Democrat
OF South Carolina, a plea to
end internal pickering and to
restore pride in the local Health

Department" chairman Nc
MILAN said.

cities. SO you people should get
together and work together and

Core of Dissatisfaction
Subcommittee investigators,
at work since August. 1857,
have located the core Of dis
satisfaction in the controversial
Bureau. 1t was formed by a
merger of separate divisions
previously headed by Mr.. Bur-
dette and Mr.. Cary. s
Department employees told
the House unit that Mr.. Sands
had fired the ammunition"
that Mr.. Cary furnished in a
concentrated campaign to un-
seat Mr.. Burdette, who orig
inally was named chief of the
new Bureau. Mr.. Sands also
was accused of falsifying re-
ports of pro-Burdette and anti
Cary inspectors.
Mr.. Sands acknowledged that
he had carried to the public
through the press his COM
plants. But they we're con-
cerned mainly with what he
believed to be Mr.. Burdette,s
refusal to promote veteran en-
ployes, including himself on
merit.

Monitors Seek
Ruling Today
locust Hoffa
BY LEE M. COIN
Star stan Writer

Court-appointed monitors to-
day seek a legal ruling that
could GUST James r. Hoffa as
president Of the Teamsters
Union.
II successful. the move also
might put the three-man board
Of monitors out Of business,
throw the huge union into re-
ownership and revive litigation
by anti-Hoffa members Of the
Transfers.
The monitors will ask District
Judge F. Dickinson Let's to de-
eide whether he issued an ille-
gal decree last January when
he established the membership
to police Mr.. Hoffa's operation
Of the Transfers Union.
This decree was q compro-
mise settlement Of a suit by
dissident Transfers who tried
to keep Mr.. Hoffa from taking
over as president. The settle
ment dissolved an injunction
against Mr.. Hoffa and let him
take Office as provisional pres
ident.
May Resume Trial
If the decree Is invalidated,
Judge Let's may reinstate the
injunction. put the 1857 exec
utive board of the union back
in office, and resume trial Of
the suit against Mr.. Hoffa.
theoretically, this move would
reinstate Dave Beck as presi-
dent of the union, but Judge
Let's might bar him on grounds
that he has been convicted Of
a felony.
In that event, the court-in-
stalled executive board might
appoint another president and
Judge Let's might appoint a
receiver to supervise the union
pending conclusion Of the law
suit.
Edward Bennett williams,
the Transfers top lawyer, de-
clined comment on the moni-
tors latest move in a compli-
Gated legal battle. But he al
most certainly will oppose this
effort to GUST Mr.. Hoffa. Judge
Let's is expected to hold hear
ings within two weeks.
The monitors are raising the
question whether Judge Let's
last January complied with
Rule % C of the Federal rules
of civil procedure. This rule
requires notice Of a compro-
mise settlement Of a true

of the class a chance to OBJ

even in sparsely settled areas to sup
ply the specified number of board
members. When cities such as New
Orleans, Miami, Cincinnati, Detroit,
and Rochester operate successfully
with from five to seven board mem
bers, there need to be no exceptions
for the urban centers in Montana.
6. The remaining members of a
board should fill all vacancies as they
occur, making interim appointments
until the next election. There should
be no distinction between trustees.
All regular terms should be of uni
form length, and every member
should have vote.
z. The. powers and duties of the
board of trustees should be much the
same as those now divided between
high school and common school dis
trict boards. The board should ap-
prove all educational programs and
policies in the local schools; employ
a professional school administrator
as its executive officer; and provide
the teachers, facilities, and services
for school operations. Since it answers
to the public through election, the
board should be given latitude in its
discretionary powers (such as pur-
chasing sites) without requiring
referendum. Within limits set by law,
local boards should have discretionary
tax leeway in budget adoptions.
8. Boundaries of the reorpanized
school districts should be required
to conform to some established geo.
governmental, or sociologi-
cal subdivision of the state. Areas
subject to uniform assessments and/or
tax collections through a single office

area of the state should be included
in the school district structure. Furth-
ermore, no school incorporation

study groups in their service areas,
and should be given the added finan-
cial support necessary for personnel,
travel. and subsistence.
II. The Montana Taxation-Educa-
ton Commission should seriously con-
slider a recommendation that the leg
amendment to remove all reference
to the county superintendency. If
Recommendation is adopted, at
least fourteen counties would have
one school district coterminous with
the county. The better trained and
more able school leaders in Montana
are, for the most part, found in the
local schools. Each reorganized school
district will need trained school ad-
ministrator as it's superintendent. If
these leaders are drawn from the
ranks of the present superintendent
and principals, there will be no need
for more than clerical services in
these fourteen county offices.
The survey team confesses its in
ability to formulate recommends
tion which it knows is sound, but it
emphasizes the critical need for a re-
vision of the qualifications, status,
and role of the county superintend-
ency. With the office removed from
constitutional prescription, the Legis-
lative Assembly then should establish
the county as the basic school dis
trict; subject to State Board of Edu-
cation adjustments, the local board
should become a county school board,
and it should select as county super
the most able and best
qualified school leader it could en-
ploy. This would solve the dilemma,
reduce the number of local admins
5rative units to fifty-six, and create
a plan of organization meeting the
accepted criteria of sound scheol dis
5rict structure.

which do not conform reasonably
with another school district. Flexi-
bility and adjustments to unusual To-
cal circumstances are obtained by the
present system of pupil transfers, a
practice which should be preserved.
Further adjustments, such as variance
from county or municipal boundaries,
should be made by the State Board
of Education, but the burden of proof
in establishing justification for the
adjustment should rest upon the pc
titioning districts.
9. The state should revise upward
its definition of desirable minimum
sizes for schools, and should then
evaluate all schools below the mini
NUNS on the basis of isolation. Any
excessively small school which cannot
reasonably be made larger is entitled
to consideration and support as an
isolated" school. Conversely, the
state should quit approving and sup
porting school centers which can and
should be closed.
10. he legislature should direct
the state educational agency to pre-
pare the criteria for defensible school
areas, and then to estab-
lish in every county a local school
study commission. These local COM
missions should be composed of lay
citizens not holding any elective pub
lie office. They should be given two
years in which to prepare pupil spot
maps, chart existing attendance areas,
analyze local problems of weather,
roads, topography, facilities, and
other factors. They should prepare
an evaluation of each operating school
on the basis of the state criteria and
the local conditions. Before the end
Of the third year each local study |
committee should submit to the state
agency its recommendation for de-
fensible school attendance and serv-
ce areas. Nonisolated schools should, !
