Shorter Work Week
For Firemen Backed

for the proposal from key city
officials.
A reduced work week would
require authorizing legislation
along with budget approval by
Congress.
The suggested work week re-
duction would cut the firemen's
average weekly hours from so
to 48.
First Cut in October
The work week would be re-
duced to 56 hours next October
and to 48 hours in January,
1862.
BY fiscal 1868, this move
would cost the District nearly
SIT million a year. For the
next fiscal year, the cost would
be about $685., 900.
Support for the shorter work
week for about 1000 flremen
was voiced by Schuyler Lowe,
head of the Department of
General Administration; Henry
Hubbard, personnel officer; Fire
Chief Millard Sutton, and 1t.
Alvin Davis. president of the
firemen's association.
A major point brought out
by the supporters was that a
reduced work week would bring
the District more in line with
f1remen's hours in comparable
cities. 1t. Davis said that the
national average now is 55.4
hours a week.
Men Work 5-Day Week
District f1remen now work a
f1ve-day week, with a 10-hour
day shift one week and a IA
hour night stint the next week.
The first step would elimi-
nate the requirement for "a
hours of continuous duty for
each man once every two weeks
when he is going from the day
to the night shift. The final
step to an average 48-houl
week would provide generally
flor a four day week with the
same 10-hour and 14-houl
shifts.
To carry out the proposal
about $50 men would have tt
; be added to the department.

Board Seeks
New 7 eucher
Incentives
BY ANDREW w. BINGHAM
Star staf Writer

District School Board men,
berS today resumed their search
for ways to encourage only good
teachers to remain in the city
They have virtually elimi-
mated what a majority Of them
had thought was the answer
A merit pay plan.
The boards committees on
legislation and personnel yes
terday bowed to the wishes of
Supt. Carl F. Hansen-as well
as the teachers themselveS-by
voting 4-to-1 against inclusion
of the plan in the proposed
$50 million pay boosts for
school personnel.
The full board is expected to
go along with this vote at its
meeting next Wednesday, when
it will also take final action on
the salary proposal.
Mrs. Frank S. Phillips-the
lone dissenter at yesterdays
meeting-pointed out, however
what is still bothering other
board members: "The chief
weakness with the pay sched-
ule," Sc said, 'is that it rec
ognizes age and service rather
than performance"
She told The Star today that
the entire pay proposal-which
includes $500 boosts for teach
ers simply upon completion OF
is and 20 years Of service
could easily run into difficulty
with the Commissioners ano
Congress without more justifi-
cation than we have now"
DR.. Hansen suggested one
possible solution for the boards
fears that the pay scale re-
wards the poor teacher as much
as the good one: A concerted
effort to get rid of incompe-
tent personnel. This could in
volve major changes in the
boards rules.
The superintendent added
that he thinks there is grow
ing support for efforts to get
rid of bad teachers. Recently
the District Education ASsocia-
ton, he noted, urged the main
tenance of high standards in
the teaching profession.
He opposed the merit plan ir
part because he believes an
teachers should be hired ano
retained on merit.
Montgomery County this
year has started a merit scheme
for top teachers. Arlington Of
f1cials are considering the
idea, but teachers there are
voicing strong opposition to it
