field said, Its an outrage that
such a situation should exist.
1t should be corrected and it
will be corrected"
Senators Bridges Of New
Hampshire and Case Of New
Jersey, Republican members of
the Senate Space Committee,
promised support Of a move to
amend the pay law to take care
Of the AstronautS.
Representative league, Texas
Democrat and third ranking
member of the House Space
Committee, said he intro
duced the necessary legisla-
ton today. Representative
Fulton of Pennsylvania, rank
ing active Republican on
the same committee. called Mr.
league at a late hour yesterday
to offer himself as q backer
of the bill. He assured it BIZ
partisan support by sponsoring
an identical bill today.
The Teague-Fulton bill would
set up space flight and train
ing therefor, including training
in programs under the direc-
ton of the administrator" of
NASA as a 14th hazardous
duty category in the Career
Compensation Act Of 1949.
Two other members of the
House Space Committee. Demo-
cratic Representatives King of
Utah and Moeller of Ohio,
said they would support the
amendment. No one expressed
opposition.
Would Save Plane Costs
1t was understood informally
but authoritatively from q
source close to the White House
that the administration would
go along enthusiastically with
such a change in the basic
military pay law.
The amendment will cost the
Government nothing. 1t could
save about $2,400 a month in
aircraft operating costs which
are now laid out by the services
to enable the AstronautS to
stay current in their flight-pay
status.
The Astronauts' current
hazardous duty pay totals
$3.50 a month. 1t is based or
rank and length Of service anc
varies from 5000 for Capt
Cooper to $245 for 1t. Col. Johr
H. Glenn, USMC, the ranking
AStronaut. Comdr. Shepard get'
$3.50 flight pay.
Total monthly pay Of the
Astronauts ranges from $859.4S
to 1,149.68, including cash OF
in-kind allowances. Their flight
pay represents between one
fifth and one-quarter Of theil
whole military income.

sistence and quarters allow

The specter Of such a pay
loss loomed two years ago
when the Astronauts and tn,
Mercury program were new. A
that time 1t was discovered
that the men were in DANCE
of losing flight pay becaus
red tape was denying them tn
use Of airplanes.

Some School Patrons
Praise Brett's Work
Continued From First Page

Continued From First Page
Brett told his class that the
parents live in the dark ages
and he was going to teach them
all about sex and they could 60
home and teach their parents. ;"
No names were given by DR..
Jenkins.
Sex education as such is not
an issue in this case" said DR..
Jenkins. Properly conducted,
its presence in the school
would never have been ques-
toned. The manner in which
this subject has been presented
by Mr.. Brett over the past two
years has brought complaints
which could not be ignored"
DR.. Jenkins cited a December
| 10, 1859, report by the supervi-
sor who visited Mr.. Brett's
class. 1t complained that the
teacher lectured practically all
the time and made a practice
of calling students by their last
names. The report said the stu
dents should participate more,
that lectures should be kept to
a minimum and that the
teacher should learn the stu
dents first names.
After a second visit, the su-
pervisor filed a report in May,
1860, saying again that there
should be more student partic-
ipation and that the teacher
should move about the room
rather than stay tied to the
desk all period so that he
might discover the boy asleep
and the others not participat-
ing"
Third Report Filed
A third report filed after an
other visit last January again
was critical of too much lee
turing and said Mr.. Brett
should be more attentive tC
what the students are doing
while he is talking to prevent
the severe marking Of student
desks" 1t also said one boy
was chewing gum in such an
obvious manner as to be dis
turbing" and that Mr.. Brett
was completely unaware Of
this breach Of school rules"
The third report also said
that Mr.. Brett "dwelt too heav-
lily and with too much enthusi-
asm on vivisection."

attended the hearing last night
which was scheduled after 9

custer of Mr.. Brett from the

The furor over Mr.. Brett be-
gan last month when he re-
signed after being told his con.
tract would not be renewed neXt
year. He later asked to with
draw his resignation.
Student demonstrations fol
the teacher at the school and
at the Governors mansion, and
the organization of an irate
parent group led the board to
hold last nights hearing.

being fired because he answered

Conklin was ordered behind the
check-out counter and told to put

IT put the money on hand in the
bag" The bandits wanted him to
open the safe, but Conltlin con-
