Effort to Hide Bases
Seen in Soviet Threat

nine months. during which the
SoYiets will redeploy their ex-
isting rocket bases and estab-
liish their new ones.
The U-2 is the only known,
existing free world intelligence
tool which could make mean
ingless the Soviet efforts to
disperse and camouflage the
new rocket bases.
So long as Russia fears that
Western deterrent forces can
pinpoint her rocket bases, these
experts think, she would never
feel safe to engage in any
further move, military or dip
lomatic, against the free world.
Therefore, these experts be-
lieve, the Soviet Union wants
to keep the U-2 flights the only
red-hot issue and will pursue II
in every possible way. The
first step. after Mr.. Khru-
shchev's denunciations in Paris,
Berlin and Moscow. was to
bring UP the question in the
United Nations Security
Council.
Marshal Malinovsky's speech
might be followed, experts
prophesied, by notes to all
countries potentially involved
repeating the marshal's warn
ing in diplomatic language.
The third phase would bring
the trial of Francis G. Powers,
the pilot Of the Inflated U-2.
Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko already has an
nounced the spy plane question

United Nations. this time before

the next few weeks. Since the
administration favors the bill,
President Eisenhower's sigma
ture is regarded as certain.
The bill would protect Fed
eral and postal employees from
liability in civil suits arising
from accidents, either involving
the driving of Federal vehicles
or the driving of private cars
while on Government business.
The Government instead would
be the defendants in these
suits.
PAY DISCHARGE PETITION
Its beginning to look as If a
discharge petition will be need
ed to bring the 9 per cent claSsi-
fed and postal employe pay
raise bill to the House floor for
action.
The House Rules Committee
shows no immediate indication
Of holding a hearing on a rule
to clear the bill for House ac-
ton. And even if it does hold
a hearing, there is evidence the
group would be split by a 6-to-6
vote, which would mean that no
rule would be issued.
Therefore, a discharge petit
ton move probably will have to
be restorted to. This requires
signatures of the majority of
the House members-219 of the
437 Representatives. 1t is GER
tain that the 219 signatures can
be obtained, but it probably
will take about a week to line
up the signatures. Then, under
House rules, it will take another
week before the bill can be
brought up for action.
Thus, it will be about June

Russia's threat to attack any
foreign airfield used by a plane
flying over her territory was
seen here today as part Of a
determined effort to keep Sc
cret her relocation Of missile
bases.
American analysts Of Soviet
affairs said that is the signifl-
canoe of a speech yesterday by
Marshal Rodion Malinovsky at
a Kremlin meeting Of Commu-
mist workers. 1t follows similar
warnings by Soviet Premier
Khrushchev against permitting
use Of the bases by spy planes.
Marshal Malinovsky said he
has ordered rocket strikes at
the airbase from which any
plane takes of and violates air
space of the Soviet Union or
its Communist partners.
1--WE do not know what the
intruder plane may carry" he
said in explaining the order.
1T may well be a hydrogen
bomb"
The State Department had
no immediate ofhcial comment.
Senator Aiken, Republican of
Vermont, said ''it seems that
the war party has come back
into power" in Russia. He con-
tended that II the order is
followed to the letter, even an
accidental violation of Soviet
air space could set of a nuclear
war.
Grave implications Seen
Senator Mansfield, Democrat
OF Montana, also said Marshal
Malinovsky's speech may have
grave implications, comment
ing, II would rather take his
warning at face value than to
underestimate what he says"
Some State Department ex-
perts agreed, but they assessed
the speech largely as an un-
usually blunt warning designed
to scare those free world allies
who permit United States use
of air fields in their countries.
Russia long has sought to
force abandonment of United
States military bases surround
ing her borders, and has stepped
up the campaign since the
downing Of a U-2 spy plane in
Russia May /.
These experts said the NAL
inovsky warning was a logical
step which most of them ex-
pected to follow Mr.. Khru-
shchev's tough policy after col
lapse of the Paris summit meet

Boot License

"A bill giving the Tidewater
Fisheries Commission author
ity to license and regulate
every boat not under Federal
control was promptly and IA
vorably reported yesterday.
The House Ways and Means
Committee made two major
changes in the bill before ap-
proving it. The measure was
broadened to include all sail
boats and require operators OF
motor boats towing water skiers
to be at least IL years old.
The bill as drafted would
have excluded sailboats under

required that there be at least
two persons in a boat towing
Skiers with one person at least
IL years old, but no age limit

tee he had no objections to
the amendments.

$6 for three years to obtain

choice of adopting registration
of boats or having the Federal

Cost of the kindergarten pro-
gram is not specified, but is
reflected in higher ALLEGATIONS
for several categories, such as
salaries, maintenance and
utilities.
Conference Planned
The school and county boards
will confer later in open meet
ing regarding the budget. The
county board cannot change
specific items, but can force the
school board to do so by ap-
propriating less money than
requested.
In approving the budget, the
school board Endorsed a three
year plan under which Arling-
ton teachers would be paid a
minimum of $4,000 and a max
imum of $500 beginning in
1862.
If the scale proposed for
l960-196l is adopted, however,
the overall salary status of Ar
lington teachers will remain
somewhat below that of their
Montgomery County colleagues
at least during the coming
school year.
Montgomery now pays teach
erS with bachelor degrees &C
cording to a base scale of $4,500
to $1,000. Although its starting
salary is $100 less than that
sought in Arlington. it has a
merit pay program which more
than offsets the difference.
Montgomery Scale
In Montgomery, a superior
teacher with a masters degree
can earn up to $500. Last
251 instructors received
raises ranging from $400 to
$500 under the merit program.
Other salary scales in the
area for teachers with a bache-
lor degree are:
Prince Georges County, $4,000
to $4,000; it is seeking a new
scale of $4,000 to $500.
Fairfax County. $4,000 to
Sc, 300; a scale of $4,4l0 to
$6,522 is being proposed for the
next school year.
Alexandria pays $4,000 to
81, 900; the school board is try
ing to raise the scale to 81, 400
to $1,000.
The District pays $4,000 to
S6,600; the school board has
raising the maximum
to $8,100.

10 the county BOdrQ, WnlcE
has the final say on how much
will be spent for schools next
year.
The school budget proposes
a new salary scale which would
allow the county's teachers an
average increase of $3.50 but
would not make them the best
paid teachers in the Washing
ton area, considering all fac
tors affecting salaries through
out the area.
The suggested scale ranges
from $4,000 to $1,000 for in
Structors with a bachelors de-
gree and from $4,000 to $500
for those with a masters de-
gree.
Estimate of Cost
Together with normal lon
gevity increases, it would cost
the county about $500, 900 more
than the present one which
pays $4,000 to $500 to in
StructorS with a B.A. degree
and $4,000 to $1,000 to those
with MA. degrees.
Arlington teachers had re-
quested a basic scale of S4,500
to $7,425 for B.A. degrees.
The budget calls for expen-
ditures which would exceed in
come anticipated from all ex-
iSting sources by more than
SIS million.
Should Arlington have to find
all of this money in new taxes,
an increase of between 80 and
40 cents in both real estate and
personal property levies would
be necessary, according to
county fiscal experts.
1t is possible that unexpected
revenues could diminish the tax
rise.
But school administrators
predict a surplus of only $l2,-
797 and are dubious about dis
covery of new income. Last
year a tax increase was averted
in part because the school
board had a surplus of more
than 100000.
A major budget item which
ballooned last night was the
expenditure proposed for cap
ital Improvements.
DR.. Reid recommended $l4O,-
900 or $4,000 less than what
the present budget contains.
But the school board by a 8
to 2 vote jumped the allotment
