Minimum Wage
At5Cents
BY . Star Stan Writer

RICHMOND, Feb. 5.-A min
imum wage law which would
benefit about $4,000 salaried
workers, chiefly women in the
retail and service trades, has
been proposed by Delegate
Kathryn Stone Of Arlington.
The bill would set rs cents
an hour as the minimum wage
for all employees not now
covered by q Federal law. Mrs.
Stone said this would average
about IS cents an hour more
than they now are earning.
A Federal law covers en-
ployes Of businesses engaged in
interstate commerce. Most of
those brought under the pro-
posed State law are working
because of family RESPONSE
bilities, the sponsors said.
"Those who are truly con-
cerned for the economic welfare
Of the little fellow should sup
port this BILL" Mrs. Stone said.
She was Joined by 13 House
members in sponsoring the
measure. They include Dele
gates John Webb and Dorothy
McDiarmid of Fairfax, William
L. Winston of Arlington and
Lawrence Hoover of Harrison

In another move on the edu-

offer a teacher pay raise bill
which also would hit at teacher
pay scales in Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties.
Thomas H. Lowe, Democrat
Of Talbot County; said he is

limit the amount local govern
ments could pay teachers above
State minimums.
1t would limit local supple
ments to $500 above the be-
ginning minimum and 1880
above the top of the State
scale. The State teacher pay
scale now is 5000 to $1,000.
Mr.. Lowe said the pay raise
portion of his bill would give
teachers substantially" the
$4,000 to $4,000 State scale
they are asking. To help pay
for it he would remove the $500

Planners Hit
As Being
1ndecisive'

A leading Montgomery plan
ner last night said Montgomery
County representatives on re-
gional planning bodies are
mute or indecisive" and lack
policy instructions from county
leaders.
Frederick A. Gutheim, a
congressional consultant on
metropolitan area problems
and president of the Washing
ton Center for Metropolitan
Studies, told a citizens planning
organization that local gov
ernmental officials in both
nearby Maryland and Virginia
should take more of the ini.
tiative" in area planning ac-
tivities.
Mr.. Gutheim spoke at the an
nual meeting of the Montgom.
cry County Citizens Plannine
Association. The association
which met in the Maryland
National Capital Park and
Planning Commission buildine
IN Silver Spring, conducted 8
panel discussion on "Suburbia' :
Obligations to the Metropolis. >
He recommended that the
county council create an "Ofice
OF Metropolitan Affairs" which
would serve as a link between
the council and it's representa-
tives on such regional agencies
as the National Capital Plan
ming Council.
Another panel member, Rob-
ert c. Wood, a political science
professor at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and
author of a book, "Suburbia, u
was not optimistic about the
potential effectiveness of Local
governments in solving regional
problems.
Mr.. Wood said area residents
Twill have to face up to the
fact that a big region, with bic
problems, requires some sort OF
big political process" to find
solutions. He declared:
"The kind of local govern
ment we have had in the past
is not adequate to meet the
problems of the future" Local
governing bodies, he said, have
a tendency, when they en-
counter broad regional ques-
tionS, to play it safe . con-
centrate on local decisions
and let the major questions
go by default"

agreed the most controversial
feature regarding local ordi-
nances could be eliminated. He
reviewed other features of the
bill
Lytton H. Gibson, former
city attorney, and City Coun-
Gilman Thomas O'Halloran, de-
clared the bill is unnecessary
Mr.. O'Halloran presented cop
les Of an adverse report on the
changes from Weldon Cooper,
director of the Bureau of Pub
lie Administration of the Uni
versity of Virginia.
sembly In 1858.
"Our opposition is very SIM
ple." Mr.. Gibson said. "It's Just
too much law. There's too much
law in the charter now. My
experience as the city attorney
for two years has shown that
it is difficult to administer"
Mr.. Gibson also opposed an
amendment to change the terms
|of members appointed to the
school board to coincide with
those of council members.
He said this could lead to
promises by a candidate fol-
election to the council to ap-
point specific members of the
school board, adding that "this
gets very close to an elected
school board"
Councilman Lee M. Rhoads
replied that the terms were
made coincident because there
is a turnover in the makeup oi
the council. "The school board
should ) more responsible tc
the viii of the people" which
he said, would not be the case
when board members continue
in Office for several months
