A system of extra pay for
outstanding teachers, the
first in Maryland, is ready
to be launched in Montgom-
cry County.
Potentially, it offers from
$500 to $500 a year extra sal.
airy to some 305 teachers who
are eligible by virtue of possess
ing masters degree and at
least 10 years teaching expert
ence.
The novel program represents
the first step toward what
could eventually be a broad
merit pay system for county
teachers.
1t was outlined last week by
Superintendent of Schools C..
Taylor Whittier, who called it
vastly different" from all pre-
vious plans that incorporate the
incentive idea.
Teachers additionally have
been reluctant to accept the
merit pay principle. Accord
ingly, the new program is
equipped with an elaborate set
of precautions against possible
favoritism and other frequently
cited evils of merit pay.
1t implements a decision by
the school board to make ad.
vancement to the final two steps
9th and 12th) of the masters
scale dependent upon the rec
ommendation of the superinten-
dent.
Under the new, high scale
adopted by the board, 10-year

Peoples Minimizes Fear,
OF X-Ray in TB Testing

DR.. William ]. Peoples,
county health officer, said
this week that the county's
chest x-ray program is pro-
viding 'as much detection
and ais much protection as
possible"
He said there is no reason for
concern that the county's pro-
gram is inflicting safe
amounts of radiation on its res.
idents.
He said his remarks were
made in response to- a Sentinel
column last week which ques-
toned the wisdom of the coun-
tvs program.
Mass X-rayS of pregnant won-
en- and all children under is
were halted early in 1858, .ax-
cept in cases where tuberculin
tests show positive reactions.
"The fact is that we in the
county have given a great num-
Der of hours and a great deal
of thought as to how to carry
out our testing program most
salts factorily," Peoples said.
"Our aim is to protect rs
much as possible and detect as
many cases of tuberculosis as
possible. That is exactly what
we think we have DONE"
The present program was de.
veloped by a joint committee
meeting in late 1857 and early
1858, composed of representa-.
tives of the county medical So
ciety, the tuberculosis and

Heart Association, State Health
Department, and United States
Public Health Service.
The committee met after the
U. S. Surgeon General issued
a statement saying mass X-rays
should be limited and that ..tu-
berculin testing (by which a
fluid is injected under the skin
of the ARM should be used for
screening potential cases.
Tuberculin tests are given in
the schools in the first, eighth
and twelfth grades.
For variety of reasons, mo-
bile x-ray units still are used
for mass testing of adults in
given residential areas, DR.. Pee.
piles said.
but X-ray is used only on
adults, and only with particular
emphasis on those areas which
have had a high incidence ,,of
tuberculosis in the past, or
where we have had poor test
coverage in the past" he said.
To use tuberculin testing in
such areas, he said, would re.
quire three separate operations
the test itself, a check of the
reactions two or three days
later, and X-rays of all persons
reacting positively.
An X-ray survey of a neigh
borhood, by contrast, requires
only a single operation, he said.
DR.. Peoples said tuberculosis
detection has been markedly
increased" since the new pro-
gram went into effect.

Members of review and ap-
peal boards will be drawn from
a representative panel" of
more than 100 teachers and adj
illustrators selected by the sepa-
rate school faculties.
The overall machinery will be
tended in the next one or two
years by Mrs. Angela Darby,
acting as "teacher-secretary" of
the program. Mrs. Darby is a
veteran teacher of Latin at Be-
thesda Chevy Chase High
School.
Biggest hurdle in the plan
will be the large number of con-
ferences and reviews necessary
in coming months to evaluate
the initial 305 eligible teachers.
This probably cannot be COM
pleted until the end of 1859.
After that, the number of new
teachers becoming eligible each
year probably will not exceed
about so, at least for the next
year or two.

how you tried to talk your way out; if not,

the other fellows feelings as much as your
own by stretching things little.

Vets Receive Help

Early in American History
the Massachusetts Bay Colony
~sssed legislation to the effect
that anyone manned or wounded
in the common defense Of the
colony should become . public
charge and that this should ex-
tend in cases Of extremity to
his widow and his orphans.
This action has been followed
down from the Revolution to
the Korean conflict. Legislative
ly we are responsible for the
health, well-being and education
Of those who have served US in
time of war, and in doing SO
have become incapacitated. Fur
ther, we are obligated to those
who, even in good health, have
lost employment opportunity or
chances for education.
The Wagner Act strength
ened by the formation of
the United States Employ
ment Service brought into being
the veterans employment repre-
sentative in the local employ
ment service office.
In the Cleveland East office
of the Ohio State Employment
Service, this Individual is Henry
w. Cockfield.
He develops and carries out
an adequate veterans service
program. In addition, he is
charged with seeing that all
policies and programs concerned
with veterans activities are car
ried out. He coordinates all
veterans activities in the local
office and other organizations
concerned with the veterans
program.
Mr.. Cockfield maintains a
constant review of all office
services afforded veterans to
make sure that they receive
the benefits to which they are
entitled. If discrepancies are
found, the situation is righted
by consulting with the inter-
viewer involved through the
proper channels. OCCASIONALLY,

Cockfield says, "The Life of

supporters publicly laugh at the
prospects Of his regime being

turbed.
Still another blow this week
fell on Cuba's ailing tourist
trade, once e major prop to
the nations economy. An an
nouncement in New York said
various cruise ships that nor
mally visit Havana with their
thousands of free-spending
Americans are emitting calls
to Cuba this year. This is be-
cause of the Cuban govern
ment's attacks on the United
States.
Havana's tourist hotels al
ready faced a bleak winter sea-
son of empty rooms because OF
tourist cancellations as a result
of unfriendly United States
Cuban relations. Some of them
feared the fastest development
was almost a death blow.

no compensation whatever

a small portion Of the nearly
81 billion United States citizens
have invested in Cuban sugar
cattle, utilities, mining and
other industries.
The Becerra company became
interested in a Cuban oper-
alton In 1850 and spent two
years laying plans for the
project.
The company acquired 1000
acres of land in Camaguey
Province. About $500 acres Of
the property was in sugar cane
and the rest either in virgin
forest or land In poor condi-
ton. So Becerra set about the
task Of improving the land. q
few thousand acres every year.
1T was q very difficult job"
said Robert c. Wells, manager
Of King Ranch. This was due
to a stubborn growth called
marabu. which is extremely
hard to get rid Of.
Specialists Bought In
Fortunately we could bring
In enough bulldozers and other
equipment and we applied the
techniques Of the King Ranch
until we got $4,000 acres into
pretty good shape"
The first shipment of cattle
was sent in seven years ago
and, as the need arose, Becerra
brought technicians, geneti-
cists, agronomists. veterinar-
ians and other specialists.
Now there are about 1000
head Of cattle-the highly
priced Santa Gertrudis breed
developed at King Ranch from
Brahmans and shorthorns. This
stock fares unusually well in

popular in Cuba.

Besides Mai. Cienfuegos Mr..
Castro lost Maj. Cristino Ma

Staying of Maj. Naranjo was
blamed on a confusion of iden-

Cubans disillusioned with the
way the revolution is drifting.
Yet Mr.. Castro, worried,
weary and haggard, still is
Cuba's most popular man. AS
those called rats dropped him,
thousands of people for whom
he promised a better life still
cheered him.
Diplomats said Cuba's latest
note to the United States did
nothing to smooth badly ruffled
relations between the two
countries. The note rejected
United States charges that the
Castro regime is waging an
anti-American campaign.
These sources said the note
indicated Mr.. Castro and his
cabinet have no intention of
modifying policies Washington
considers anti-American. For
example, the Castro regime
continued to appropriate rich
United States-owned ranch and
farm lands without waiting for
formal legal action.
