TwinbrOOk
Addition OK'd

William N. Denton was ap-
proved by the School Board this
week as the architect for Twin
brook Elementary's proposed 10
classroom addition that will bring
that school up to 38 classrooms.
There was considerable discus
sion of other ways of relieving
the overcrowding in the Twin
brook area but in the end the
board returned to the addition
as the "only possible solution"
in order to avoid double sessions
in 1859.

the first and top steps, The present scale
ranges from $4,000 to $4,000 for ABB degree
teachers. Winters proposal raises this to
$45O0 to $71OO for 10 months and $64SO to
$500 in IL months.
A study of teachers lost to the system from
September, 1885, to September, 1857, shows PSI
teachers leaving during their first year This
number steadily decreases as the number of years
a teacher has served goes up. But at the ninth
step the number of teachers lost increase again.
To show the harm done the children by
teacher turnover Whittier cites one fourth grade
class that had four different teachers in the past
year with the last one taking over in April There
are numerous other examples throughout the
county.
The lack of continuity in the educational
program can never be made UP to those chill
dren, Whittier points out.
Also more career teachers mean better
trained teachers over a period of time the super.
intendent contends Although there are excep
tons, usually person who intends to stick with
the job is more interested in preparing for il and
developing his full potential.
God must have loved the plain peo-
pie: He made so many Of them.

city's recent disapproval of indus
trial zoning on Halpine rd.
Subject of the move was a strip
along Halpine I'd. that is contigu-
Gus with the city's southeastern
boundary on the east side of
Veirs Mill I'd.
Applicant for the change from
residential to industrial was Ger
aid ]. Schipper who earlier told
the city's planning commission he
wanted to construct some type of
garden industry on the site.
The city's planning commission,
headed by Bruce Watts, recon-
mended denial on the grounds
that industry on the city's boun.
dairy would be against the inter.
eSts of nearby residents.
Since some of the prosoped site
lies within the county, the city
will ask the county to line up
with its planning commission, un-
unless Schipper will agree to pro-
vide a generous buffer strip be-
tween the tract and the city line.

Appeal Denied
Doomed GI

Washington Army Private
John E. Day. jr.. today lost an
other round in his fight to upset
his death sentence by a court
martial for the 1851 shooting
of a Korean civilian.
Last Ostober Federal Judge
Joseph C. McGarraghy denied
a habeas corpus petition filed
by Day on grounds that his
court martial was unconstitu-
tional. and the United States
Court of Appeals for the Dis
trict today upheld this decision.
Day was convicted for shoot
ing the Korean, who was
allegedly protecting his wife
from the soldiers advances.
In 1854. Federal Judge Henry
A. Schweinhaut refused Day a
habeas corpus hearing in Fed
eral District Court here, but the
Court Of Appeals reversed this
decision. and the hearing be-
fore Judge McGarraghy fol-
lowed.
Day had commended that the
court martial board which con-
victed him of murder was lin
adequately instructed on the
non-capital offense Of unpre-
meditated murder"
However. in a separate opin-
ion concurring with Chief APP
pellate Judge Henry w. Edger-
ton and Judge E. Barrett Pref
lyman, Judge Charles M. Fahy
said in today's opinion that any
inadequacy was not so grave

Gen. Carl Spaatz, retired Air
Force chief of staff, today
urged the American Legion to
get behind President Eisen-
hower's defense reorganization
plan.
He called the plan "a long
step in the right direction"
and said other retired general
officers agreed with him.
Gen. Spaatz made an I'M
scheduled appearance before a
session of the American Le-
gion's National Security Com
mission.
Thirty members, comprising
the executive section of the
commission. are holding a
three-day meeting at the Stat
lerHotel. A parade of Govern
ment officials, both civilian and
military. will continue to APP
pear before them until they
adjourn tomorrow.
Pay Bill Support
Besides Gen. Spaatz, the Le-
gion today heard William H.
Francis, jr.. Assistant Secretary
Of Defense for Manpower, Per-
sonnet and Reserve, call for
support of the military pay bill
now before the Senate. The
measure has passed the House.
He declared: I'VE hear talk
occasionally about ending the
draft. But only a visionary
would say we could do 1t in the
forseeable future. If the pay
bill passes and conditions i'm
prove as we hope, then we can
start talking about an end to
the draft"
Mr.. Francis said the Army is
planning to recruit $4,000 men
and draft 100000 next year.

But if the pay bill goes
through. the Army intends to
raise its sights and try to re-

before the National Press Club.
I'VE will not suggest that
Congress appropriate large
sums Of money to the Secretary
of Defense for him to distribute
as he sees fit," Mr.. McElroy
said. "Our objective is simply
to have reasonable flexibility
which will permit us. in a time
of sudden chronological break
throughs and rapid shifts in
priorities. to transfer funds
from less insistent projects to
more vital ones.
Expects Minor Percentage
1T would be our expectation
that the percentage of total
funds for which the Depart
ment of Defense might request
transfer would be a minor per-
centage Of the total"
In a move to soothe the fears
that President Eisenhower's
Pentagon proposal would take
away from Congress the con-
troll over purse strings, Secre-
tary McElroy added:
Moreover. whatever trans
fer authority is granted would
be used only under a system
of notification to the appropri-
ate committees of Congress"
The transfer provision in the
reorganization plan as sub
mitted by the President has
been attacked as setting up the
Secretary of Defense as a
dictator.
Seen As Qualification
Mr.. McElroy insisted that
under the proposed legislation
his existing authority will be
merely clarified" along with a

for a long-range increase in
Europe's East-West trade.
Western delegates made no
immediate public comment on
the surprise Russian proposal.
But some said privately that
the Russians primary goal was
relaxation Of Western controls
on strategic exports to the So
Wet bloc.
I'VE do not rejoice at the
sight Of growing unemployment
in the West" Mr.. Zaharov said.
I'VE deeply symphatize with
the victims of this scourge."
He said East-W trade

Mr.. McElroy spoke after the
President, in a news conference
yesterday, promised an about
fight to obtain congressional
approval of the reorganization
plan.
The Secretary discussed the
proposal in effectively and en-
phasized the Importance of
strealnlining the defense or
ganization to establish clear
command channels" directly
from the commander in chief
through the Secretary of De-
Tense to unified commands in
the field.
Expects Brief Warning
"As we go into a period when
a potential enemy may have
operational long-range missiles
in substantial quantities, our
reaction time must be meas
ured in minutes instead of
hours" Mr.. McElroy said. II
am informed that in every war
the nation has fought in the
last century we have had to
change our military organiza-
ton after war has started. We
no longer have time in which
TO change command lines or to
shift from a peacetime to a
wartime organization. Any such
shift must be made now"
Mr.. McElroy emphasized that
the reorganization proposal
does not set up a single chief
of staff. does not contemplate
the abolition of the traditional
Army. Navy. Air Force and Ma
rine Corps and does not set up
a Prussian-German-type gen.
