federation also asked for an
increase in the number Of help
ing teachers. particularly in
remedial reading. Mr.. Graham
said that the federation's pro-
posals would require a tax in

pay request would cost about
$ci0.000 above Supt. Reds
budget. The council also esked
for increases in salaries of
principals and supervisors.
more librarians and more
money for library books and
supplies and for more buses.
The increases called for by the
council would require a tax
rate hike of about II cents.
Mr.. Miller said that "some-
where. sometime these ever
expanding budgets must stop
because the people just cannot
continue to support an increase
of 81 million a year. especially
in view Of a static enrolment
or possibly a large decrease in
enrolment" He predicted that
a great many students would
attend private schools next
year because of indignation.

! Mr.. Breed said the school
board should approach the
budget on the basis of ade-
quaey for educating the coun-
tvs children rather than or
what effect it will have on the
tax rate. He said the county
governing body. not the school
board. has the responsibility
for setting the tax rate.
Another Version Presented
The PTA recommended that
beginning salaries for teachers
with bachelors degrees be
raised to $4,000 and the maxi
mum be raised to $4,000. Supt
Reds budget calls for increas-
ing the present salary range
from $4,000 to $1,000 to q
scale Of $4,000 to $500.
The League of Women Vot-
ers, represented by President
Mrs. Edwin L. Kahn. called fol-
a salary scale Of $4,000 to
$1,000.
The Arlington Education AS
ISOLATION, represented by Ray
Hayes, asked for q $500 in
crease. Mr.. Hayes said: THE
time has come when drastic
steps must be taken If we are
to regain our status as one in
the leading school systems in
teacher welfare"
The association pointed out
that $4,000 is the minimum
wage paid teachers in the Dis
trict. and that figure has
been proposed by school boards
in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties in nearby
Maryland. Only Fairfax County
and Alexandria are below Ar
lington in salaries proposed for
next year, Mr.. Hayes said.
The Citizens Committee for
School Improvement asked for
a salary scale of $4,000 to ST.
900. 1t said the increase would
bring an Scent tax rise. Mrs.
June Lehman. chairman. said
the group wants more helping
teachers and psychologists.
Federation Views
The County Civic Federation,
represented by William M.

tendent's suggested pay scale,
but said that increases should
be made in the future at the
top of the scale. The fedora

Necessity for continuation Of
the hearings. which began

Transit was unable to complete
its arguments and Inter-County

Conflict between the corpora
tions developed after Inter-

sidiary of the VIVA Transit

last week tentatively approved
the sale and Inter-County as
sumed management Of Subur-
ban. 1t is asking the PSC to
give it control of Suburban
routes and approve the pur-
chase.
D. c. Transit, however, has
applied for authority to inaug-
urate service along essentially
the same routes operated by
Suburban. 1t also seeks to
establish completely new runs
in Prince Georges and Mont

Inter- County declares that II

Increases in Arlington's schoo,
budget which would require
raising taxes were urged last
night by five countrywide
examinations, while two other
groups asked that the line be
against any tax increase.
The tentative school budget
proposed by Supt. Ray Reid
calls for spending $l2.8 million
in fiscal l959-60. 1t is about
81 million more than the 1885,
SO but would not require tax
increase.
Supporting increases - pri-
marily in teacher salaries
were the Citizens Committee
for School Improvement, the
County Council of PTAs
League Of Women Voters, Ar
linEton Education Association
and the Arlington Civic FEEDER
alton
The increases recommended
would raise the tax rate by from
! to ~ cents. The current
rate is 1884 per 500 evalua-
ton on real estate and $4.39
on personal property.
The Republican Executive
Committee Endorsed the budget
as presented. and party chair
man David Gordon congratu-
lated the school administration
for introducing a balanced
budget which, for the first time
in many years, does not ne
cesSitate an increase in the
tax rate"
Reduction Asked
The Home Owners Fedora
ton, represented by B. M.
Miller, called for a reduction
in the superintendent budget
to the level Of the 1889
spending.
Most of the speakers at the
hearing, which drew fewer
than so citizens, pressed for
increases in teacher pay above
the $500 set up in Mr.. Reds
budget.
Everett H. Breed. a member
Of the PTA Councils Budget
Committee and of the York
town PTA, said Arlington is
falling behind on teacher SAL
aries" and cannot afford to
take the secondhand castoffs
from Prince Georges and Mont
gomery Counties and the Dis
trict."

Babson Discusses Buying Stocks For Income

Babson Park. Mass. Feb. ). Al
though. in my personal opinion. the
chances are now against one who
buys common stocks for profit
these chances favor one who now
buys the right stock for income
The reason is The price Of
common stocks depends mainly
upon the moods of the people They
buy according TO how they feel. not
according to facts When the ma
.iority are optimistic, or tired OF
waiting for stocks to 20 down they
buy The more impatient the buy
ers are, the more common stocks
go up The more impatient the
people become. the more common
stocks go down
The price of good-qGality Cumu-

depends upon the money market
When money is cheap. such pre-
ferred stocks sell high When
money gets tight and interest rates
high, these Cumulative Preferreds
go down in price. This means that
most of these Prefesreds can now
be bought at a discount of from
10 per cent to y per cent OF more
below par.
What Kind Of Prefcrreds to BUY
The safest preferred stocks to

speculative industries such as the

some day come when stocks Of
