has been made by HEW under
programs designed to encour
age greater initiative and en-
terprise by individuals, pri-
vate agencies and local and
State governments.
This way of thinking, this
approach" she said, "iS no
only the best way to get the
job done, but it reinforces the
American spirit of self-reli-
ance and independence"
Miss Adkins pointed out
that President Eisenhower's
budget recommendations to
Congress for fiscal 1860 would
give HEW $3.17 billion.
almost all this sum in
one way or another will go
to States and communities, "
Miss Adkins declared. ut

cation, and to help guard
against disease. 1t will be
put to work for clean water
and air and for the purity
of food and drugs. 1t will
help take care of old people,

search"

Bill Asks Raise
ForCoaches
Minimum Is $3.50;
Teachers Object

A move to give extra pay to
some 430 District public school
coaches and other teachers is
awaiting congressional consid-
Grafton.
Representative Matthews,
Democrat of Florida, yesterday
introduced a bill authorizing
premium pay for specified ex-
tracurricular school duties.
The legislation was drafted
by the Board of Education
and the District Commissioners
primarily at the urging of
coaches. 1t already has drawn
opposition from the District
Education Association, the city's
largest teacher group.
The proposed premium ranges
from $3.50 a year for swimming,
golf and tennis coaches up
ward. 1t includes $500 for head
coaches, $500 for assistant
coaches, musical directors and
newspaper and yearbook faculty
advisers, and 5000 for drama,
debating and cadet activity ad-
viSerS.
The school system has fig
ured that some 427 jobs would
qualify for the special pay, at
an annual cost of 62,4OO.
The Education Association,
an affiliate of the National Edu-
cation Association, has taken
the position that all teachers
are entitled to the same pay
scale.
Public hearings are expected
to be held by the House District
Committee on the pay proposal.

0kay Doubted
On S.W. Plan
Remon Sees Bar
To Renegotiution
By ALFRED ALIBRANDO
Star STAFF Writer

Federal housing authorities
probably would not approve re-
negotiation clauses in South
west land leases, John A. Re-
mon, chairman of the District
Redevelopment Land Agency,
said today.
Insertion of renegotiation
clauses in agreements covering
rental of slum- cleared land to
private developers was urged
by the Washington Board of
Trade. In a letter to Mr.. Re-
mon two weeks ago, the Board
Of Trade suggested that con-
tracts be reviewed after South
west Washington is rs per cent
rebuilt. The trade group said
such clauses are common prac-
tice in leases covering private
property transactions.
The Board of Trade said
long-term leases negotiated
with businesses when only one
apartment house has been COM
pleted might not reflect the
true value of the business prop
erty. 1t was suggested that
business potential could not be
determined until the area is at
least rs per cent repopulated.
Doubts Approval
I'VE have the suggestion un-
der consideration" said Mr.. Re-
mon, but frankly, l don't think
the Federal Housing Authority
or the Housing and Home FL
nance Agency would approve a
renegotiation clause"
(FHA officials said the agen-
|cy never has approved an urban
renewal lease agreement with
such a clauSe.)
Mr.. Remon said the financial
soundness of a slum clearance
and redevolpment program de-
ponds on the terms of the lease.
If land rent is lowered, as is
possible under a renegotiation
clause, it could jeopardize the
program, he said.
ZeckendOrf Sale
The Board of Trades sug-
gestion came after a hearing
on disposal of more than 60O,-
900 square feet of land in
Southwest Washington to New
York developer William Zecken-
dorf for construction Of a shop
ping center and apartments.
Washington builder Morris
Cafritz told the RIA a land
rent based on a valuation of
$3.50 per square foot was too
low and that he was prepared
to pay a rent based on a SO
valuation. However, because
Mr.. Zechendorf already has Sc
cured Federal approval of his
plans. Mr.. Cafritz' offer was
turned down.
The RIA asked the FILA to
reappraise the land and Mr..
Zechendorf agreed to negotiate
a new agreement on the basis
of the reappraised value. The
FILA has not yet announced the
results of the reappraisal.

had found the Senate divided.
20-19.
Senator Curry Carter OF
Stanton was the one who
switched over to the Perrow
forces, declaring that as a
member of the old Gray Com
mission and the Perrow Com
mission he was in favor of To-
cal student assignment powers.
A last major change in the
bill provides that all counties
and cities shall remain under
provisions of the present State
Pupil Placement Law - under
which a three-man State board
makes assignments - unless
governing bodies, on recon-
mendation of the school boards.
vote to go under the new law
next year.
mouse Accepts
The House shortly after the
Senate acted accepted the
amendments, 1928.
One of the main arguments
of massive resistors before the
final vote was that if the bill
does not take effect until March
i, 1860, there was no use of
passing it now because the Leg
stature will come back in regu-
lar session next January.
Arlington Senator Charles r,
Fenwlck, a leader of the adj
ministration forces, knocked
down that argument.
1--WE wouldn't be able to get
an emergency clause on the bill
next January any more than we
are able to today" Senator Fen
wick said. las a result, the bill
could not take effect in time to
be used for schools opening in
September, 1860, and another
whole school year would be lost
without any plan as insurance
in case the present pupil place
ment law is struck down by the
courts"
PerTow Commission hackers
frequently advance the argu-
ment that the present law can
not last, once the direct chal-
lenge of it is posed in a Federal
court.
BY allowing localities to come
under the placement law BY
resolution of their local govern
ing bodies, the bill was placed
in a parallel position with an
other controversial Perrow bill
previously enacted.
The same procedure would bt
followed for any locality choos-
ing to come under provisions Of
IA new compulsory school at
tendance law. A mandatory
Statewide attendance law was
repealed last January but was
in effect, re-enacted with the
local option feature.

Bus schedules may be some

adding quite a few buses for
summer travel.
railways will have IL non
