Teachers Buck

yesterday bucked a proposal to
give coaches extra pay.
Whether any ground was
gained could not be determined.
But hearings on the bill to give
EXTRA pay to coaches ended in
an apparent tie before a House
District subcommittee.
The bill, which is, supported
By the Board Of Education and

: The bill proposes to add $500

ltrict acknowledgment Land
Agency 10 join with the District
Commissioner in a plea to the
court to speed up the land trial
process, especially with the
courts summer recess coming
up In July.
In addition to the fleet drag
ging" charged by Mr.. Marques
to the District government,
other court sources pointed out
that any present delay in dis
position Of condemnation cases
has also been caused by a case
now pending in the United
States Court Of Appeals here.
This case involves an effort
by Mrs. Olga F. Donnelly to
block seizure of land now rent
ed from her by Hogate's Res
taurant.
The Donnelly case involves a
constitutional issue - q chal-
lenge of the right Of the RIA
to seize non-slum land for re-
development. And though this
issue had been decided in RLA's
favor in an earlier Supreme
Court case, the Donnelly APP
peal represents a reopening Of
the question.
Thus, court sources reason
that until the appellate court
rules one way or the other on
this issue, there is little point
in District Courts taking action
on other condemnation cases in
which the same issue may arise.
At a meeting Of the RIA
board yesterday. the agency's
attorney, George Riseling. said
the court is so far behind on
condemnation cases that no
court juries have viewed con-
! demned properties.

General Aid Drop

Also reflected is the first de-
cline in general assistance
cases since. September, 1857,
Mr.. Shea noted. General as
sistance is given to persons
temporarily unable to work.
The District does not give
straight relief to unemployed
persons.
AS Of last month, there were
11.085 cases on the relief rolls,
which covered 24,763 persons,
he said.
The welfare director told the
council, I'VE may have reached
a plateau-perhaps 1t would be
even justified to hope that the
decline will continue"
He noted that this is the time
Of year when the building trades
offer the most jobs, a factor
which indirectly affects relief
rolls here.
Also, he said. aggressive case
work unquestionably contrib
uted to the decline" The pub
/ lie assistance division, he re-
ported, is constantly seeking tc
intensity its casework service
and find ways in which relief
recipients can be made sell
supporting.
He said the report on low in
come families tells "the sac
story of dependency in the Dis
trict." Any incident could
throw many Of these families
not on relief onto the roll. he
declared.
The report, prepared for the
department by its research
analyst, Raymond F. Clapp. Il
an estimate Of low income per-
sons here last year. based on
United States Census Bureau
sample Of 1856 income.
Low income is defined as
an amount insufficient to buy
housing, food, clothing and
other essentials provided under
relief standards.
Under these standards,
mother with two children, fol
example, could receive a max
imum grant of $1.848 q year
l. if 100 per cent of the grant
we're being paid. All were cut
lis per cent April / because Of
inadequate appropriations.
The report notes that there
are 1860 families as we'll as
$4,000 persons not living with
relatives in the low income
group.
$50 Million Estimate
1t estimates their needs, as
measured by public assistance
standards, at $50 million a
year.
1t estimates their income
exclusive of public assistance
at 1924 million a year. Public
assistance covers $l2.6 million
of the needed" $50 million.
Thus. If public assistance re-
quirements we're liberalized
another Sill million would be
needed to cover those not nov
eligible for relief.
This would be the "prict
tag" if aid were also given II
unemployed employables. en-
ployed persons whose earnings
are below their needs, families
whose parents refuse or neglec'

Mr.. Shea noted that there
was a decline in April of SO

persons.
This includes the first drop
in the number of aid to de-
pendent children cases in al

There was a small drop be-

United States Navy hopes to
have three scientists working

Comdr. George F. Bond said
the Navy had the equipment
to build "a complete marine

its own atmosphere" The plan
calls for the scientific team to
remain submerged for about
20 days, he reported.
The artificial atmosphere in
the deep-Sea laboratory would
consist Of oxygen and helium,
instead of the oxygen nitrogen
mixture in the earth's atmos-

This is not a game and
it's not a hobby" he declared.

He said the Secretary of the
