Letter to the Editor

Letter to the Editor
Smyrna, Delaware
January 26, 1860
To the Editor of
The Smyrna Times:
This letter deals with "Your
Money and Nine" which it is
proposed to collect by taxation
so that teachers salaries in the
Smyrna Special School District
may be increased.
Apparently the Smyrna Dis
trict desires to compete in the
hiring of the best teachers with
such cities and towns as Will
mington, Newark, Dover, Mid
dletown, and possibly others.
Whether or not a cost of living
factor" is to be employed as a
differential is not clear. Compel
tive prices for different loca-
tons generally include a differ
entail (such as freight charges
on automobiles). If an attempt
is made to pay the same salary
in Smyrna as that paid for the
same job in Wilmington, then
the Wilmington teachers will
probably move to Smyrna unless
given a higher rate of pay. 1t
may be assumed that it costs
more to live in Wilmington.
Does this not indicate an infla-
ton of salaries beyond reason?
Perhaps some state authority
will publish list of graduated
salaries for different locations.
to prevent a foolish initiation
that is not competition.
Does the list of teachers,
whose salaries it is proposed to
increase, include TEACHERS
only? Does the increase apply to
ADMINISTRATIVE duties? Does
the increase apply to physical
and vocational TRAINERS-as
distinguished fro m EDUCA-
TORS?
The Smyrna District includes
many HOMEOWNERS upon
whom the burden of the SPEC
IAL SCHOOL TAXES falls more
heavily than it does others.
Those attending the Smyrna
School, but living outside the
Spcial School District, cannot be
taxed by the district. 1t is under
stood that for them there is paid
nominal fee. No indication has
been found that the generous
district officials intend to in
crease the fee paid by the peo-
pie not taxed by the district.
1t may be assumed that in a
Welfare Society this proposal
will not be popular; neverthe-
less, it seems to me that Special
School Taxes should be assessed
as HEAD Taxes upon each fam
lily, counting ALL children, as
well as adults in the family. This
would make large families sub
lect to the payment of taxes pro-
portionate to the number OF
chibfrem to be educated. Such a
form of taxation would certain
ly impress the people concerned
in regard to the cost of educat-
ing their offspring.
If a shortage of funds exists
for the payment of all school
salaries, then consi er first
things first. Provide primarily
for the salaries of TEACHERS
who are educators. Cut down on
some of the educationally non
essential athletic, vocational,
welfare and luxury expenses.
Do not ask for more taxes un-
ill ECONOMIES have been ef-
fected. Spend the money avail
able for EDUCATION with the
same care you would devote to
spending your own resources.
truly hope that the taxpay.
ers of the Smyrna Special Schoo
District turn out to vote on the
referendum proposal for increas
ed taxes.

Be|giansAngry
AT Short Stay
0fU.N. Official

BRUSSELS, Belgium, July
q (AP). Mutual irritation
showed up at a meeting of Dag
Hammarskjold with Belgian
authorities today on the Congo.
The Belgians were angry be-
cause the United Nations Sec
rotary General, who had three
days of talks with Congo Pre-
mier Patrice Lumumba in New
York, chose to allot them only
a few hours.
Mr.. Hammarskjold seems to
want to avoid hearing our
problems" a Belgian official
said. He was due to leave to-
night. Now he takes off at 3
this afternoon, though he ar
rived here one hour late"
On Way to Congo
Stopping over on his way to
a working visit of four or five
days in the Congo, Mr.. Ham
marskjold had talks with
Foreign Minister Pierre Wigny,
Premier CASTOR Eyskens and
other members of the cabinet,
and finally King Leopold.
1T seems" one of the min
listers told reporters, that the
U. N. Secretary General has
finally. understood that some
problems can be solved better
later and that there are still
urgent tasks to tackle"
The Belgian radio reported
Mr.. Hammarskjold had noti-
fled Brussels he interprets the
Security Council decision for
intervention as meaning U. N.
troops must occupy the whole
Congo territory.
That, by the radio account
of his Interpretation, includes
both mineral-rich Katanga
province, which has proclaimed
itself independent, and the two
military bases which Belgium
continues to occupy under a
treaty of friendship signed
shortly before she gave the old
colony independence June 80.
In a joint communique issued
yesterday, Mr.. Lumumba again
stressed his governments wish
that Belgian troops get out of
the Congo at once.
The Belgian officials were re-
ported emphasizing three main
points in their talks with Mr..
Hammarskjold.
l. They want speedy deploy-
ment and reinforcement if
necessary-of U. N. forces to
all areas where lives and prop
erty of Europeans are still
threatened.
2. They want recognition of
the status quo in Katanga
Province, whose provincial gov
eminent has proclaimed the
mineral-richarea's independ-
ence from the Congo Republic.
8. They want the United Ma
tons to acknowledge Belgium S
right to occupy the Kamina
and Kitona military bases in
the Congo, granted Belgium in
the Independence Day friend
ship treaty she signed with the
Congo government. Mr.. Lu-
mumba claims the treaty was
nullified when the Belgian
troops moved in on Congolese
cities after the native army
mutinied against its Belgian
officers.

Dinner and Reception

tlclals, surveying the virtual
economic and government
paralysis in the Congo, have
concluded that thousands of
outside technicians, backed by
several hundred million dollars
in economic assistance, may be
required if the U. N. is to sue
coed in its task.
Most From United States
After urgent conferences,
United States authorities were
reported reconciled to the in
evitability that much of the
financial help probably will
have to come from the United
States.
! The emphasis. however. will
be on providing the aid through
the U. N, as a followup to
the action Of U. N. military
units in restoring peace in the
Congo.
Back of this is a feeling that
an all-U. N. program will
make it difficult for Russia to
move into the Congo.
At present, the United States
is reported planning no strictly
American-aid program.
