STATUE STIRS FUROR .-..
Is Margaret Too Gount?

LONDON, April Is (AP).-
A storm of criticism is sweep
ing around a bronze image of
Princess Margaret as Sculptor
Sir Jacob Epstein saw her.
One of his familiar stark jobs,
it looks gaunt and hollow
chested.
Pictures were made public
this week of the life-size, three
quarter length statue, COM
pleted shortly before the con-
troversial genius died at 78
last August.
THE living Princess en-
bodies the public ideal of dain-
ty royalty" said the Daily
Mails art critic, Pierre jean
nerat. THE bronze Princess
resembles a badly groomed
suburban young woman, her
hands roughened at the kitch-
en- sink, about to pick up q
tea tray. ."
The statue shows Princess
Margaret in a low-cut evening
gown wearing the sash of the
Knight Dame Grand Cross of
the Victorian Order.
1t was commissioned by the
University College of North
Staffordshire, of which the
Princess is president, and will
be shown at the Royal Acad-
emy's summer exhibition OPEN
ing April 30.
When Sir Jacob died there
were rumors the work was un-
finished, that the Princess was
not pleased, and that Sir Jacob
had left instructions for the
statue to be destroyed.
But in January the Princess
went to a London foundry to
watch it being cast in bronze.
She loved it," said Lady
Epstein, the sculptor's widow.

Four-year-old Eric was home

Eric was questioned by in

Eric's father, wealthy Roland
Peugeot of the French automo-

quoted by the newspaper
France as saying the kidnapers

that he had done so.
He refused to say exactly how
much was paid, or where. The
ransom asked by the kidnapers
was 100000 in French francs.

two hours here today with

The Secretary's scheduled /

covered the waterfront" and
called attention to French
President de Gaulle's approach
ing official visit to the United
States which begins next
Friday.
American officials said there
had been an exchange of views
on Africa, but that this was
only one of the subjects dis
cussed. They sought to deem
phasize French-American dis
cussion of African affairs be-
cause newly established nations
are sensitive about big powers
discussing their affairs in their
absence.

President de Gaulle's idea,
still in the formative stage, for
proposing at next months
summit meeting that the So
Wet Union join the Western
powers in a co-ordinated eco
nomic aid program for Africa
land other underdeveloped
areas, was understood to have
come up again. The plan was
discussed yesterday at the final
session of the Western foreign
ministers pre-summit confer
ence here.
Undersecretary of State Dill
Ion, the State Departments
chief policymaker for economic
affairs, attended this mornings S
session. He is known to be cool
to the French plan for Soviet
participation because it would
give the Soviet Union admis-
sion areas to which 1t has not
yet penetrated.
The British idea for restrict
ing the flow of arms to emerg-
ent African nations also was
discussed.
France is known to have
taken a dim view of United

Teacher Pay
Sees Rise Needed
To Attract More
Qualified Personne
BY ANDREW w. BINGHAM
star stan Writer

School Supt. Carl F. Hansen
sharply criticized the District
Commissioners today for fail
ing to act on the proposed $5.e
million pay raises for school
personnel.
He said the raises were ur-
gently needed this year to keep
up teacher morale here and
attract additional teachers to
the city.
The School Board approved
the new pay scale and sent it
to the Commissioners on jan
uary 20. DR.. Hansen originally
had hoped for quick approval
so the legislation could be pre-
sented to Congress by February.
The Commissioners so far
have been reluctant to consider
the pay raises in view of the
city's tight financial situation.
Two of them, David B. Karrick
and Brig. Gen. A. C. yelling,
have publicly stated they think
teacher raises should be con-
sidered only with raises for
other District employees.
DeplOreS InactiOn
ut is difficult for met to un-
derstand," DR.. Hansen said at
his press conference today,
why those who are responsible
for making Washington city
of maximum quality should
hesitate at all to develop the
school system as one of the
major resources of the COM
munity."
In fact, the superintendent
added, the city officials should
take the initiative in pushing
for improved school facilities
rather than waiting for pres
sures to build up in behalf of
better education.
What diSturbs me-" DR..
Hansen said, "is that the SAL
aries here are geared with
those of other school systems.
I can't understand why the
Nations Capital shouldn't be
the leader" q.
He noted that now there is
general contentment" here if
the city ranks in fifth or sixth
place nationally in facilities
and salaries.
$500 Top Sought
This is hardly a dynamic
position to take for a school
system that should be a model
internationally" DR.. Hansen
claimed.
The proposed salary sched-
ule would provide a top salary
Of $8,100 for a teacher with
a bachelors degree after 20
years of service. The current
top pay for this teacher is
$6,700. The last raise for school
