Whittier Endorses
$500 Pay Base for
County's Teachers

School Superintendent G. Taylor
Whittier this week lent his support to
the proposed $500 basic monthly salary
for the county's $500 teachers.
In startling modification of his
own proposal for maintenance of the
present $3.50 base, DR.. Whittier told the
Board of Education at its meeting Tues
day night that he would go along with
both the teachers request for the $500
base and their corollary schedule for
smaller pay increases during the early
teaching years.
DR.. Whittier said his Endorsement
was made on the basis of the Boards
earlier tentative agreement to accept
the first four steps of the salary index
proposed by the Montgomery County Ed
ucation Association, which represents the
County's teachers
Led by Mrs. Lucy Maurer, four MEM
bers of the Board had indicated they
would accept base of $40 for teachers
with bachelors degrees on the MEGA
index
In presenting the MCEA's salary in
dex proposal several weeks ago. Arthur
D. Simonds, executive director, told the
Board it would effect saving of $426, 900
annually in teachers salaries-when
compared with the index suggested by
Dr. Whittier and using the same base
of $500.
DR.. Whittier cited this saving in an
nouncing his backing Of the higher start
ing pay this week.
The county's teachers thus gained

ground in their efforts for higher start
ing salary-but suffered defeat Tuesday,
night in another major action of the
Board.
BY 4-to-1 vote, Board members
voted to establish merit pay differentials
of approximately $500 year for all
teachers in the school system, regardless
OF whether they hold masters degrees
or not
Teachers and many Of the county's
parent-teachers groups had opposed the
merit pay plan extension.
The dissenting vote came from
Board member Paul Howard, who said he
was inclined to favor the MEGA request
that merit raises be limited to educators
reaching their 18th, 18th and 18th years
of service.
MEGA spokesman Simonds told the
Board they were seriously underesti-
mating" the reaction which has been,
built up toward the existing merit plan,
now in its second year of application.
The MEGA has urged the removal of
merit raises from the automatic 12-year
scale as part of its current salary sched-
ule proposal.
Opposition to the merit pay expan-
sion also came Thursday night from Jo--
seph Els, president Of the County Coun-
Gil of Parent Teachers Associations, who
charged the Board was ignoring the
morale of teachers in the County"
He stressed that there have been
very few successfully applied merit pro-
grams" for teachers in the nation.

In" school for about so Montgomery County
youngsters at Monocacy Elementary School
this month, two key educators involved in the
project issued detailed statement on it.
Observers, however, questioned how much
Qualification the statement offered.
The educators are Stanley Gaub, assistant
principal at Gaithersburg Junior High School,
and Miss Martha Satterfield, Elementary
School Supervisor in upper Montgomery
County. Their joint statement concerning the
experiment, scheduled for July 17-1S, follows:
Fifty Montgomery boys and girls
will have opportunity for two weeks
this summer to use the world of nature as
their school. Living together in temporary
quarters at MonOcacy Elementary School,
these students will be participating in
pilot program of outdoor education which
will supplement the regular school pro-
gram.

the Republic of South Africa must
negotiate a solution of its white
supremacy racial problems salts
factorily to all groups concerned,
if the country is to avoid an ex-

DR.. DeBeer made this statement
during a press interview held in

According to the South African
leader, There are three pressures
building up which fill force neg
otiated settlement. These are in
ternal unrest, external hostility
because of apartheid, and clear
signs of an economic rundown
since South Africa left the Brit

He added that his party stands

sides. He further felt that a solu-

Louisville, KY
Republicans made history at
their Inaugural ceremonies last
week when they swore in two Ne
gro Aldermen and a Page. Stimuli
taneously, the City's first Negro
Prosecuting Attorney was named
to Police Court. At the next ses-
sion of The Kentucky General AS
sembly, a Negro woman, Mrs,
Amelia Tucker will take her seat
in the House Of Representative
the first elected in the South since
reconstruction.
Significantly, Republicans are
somewhat repeating their Ken
lucky Political history. In 1885,
they sent the first Negro in the
South to a State Legislature - the
Late Charles w. Anderson, Jr. In
1916 they elected the first Louis
vile Negro Alderman, the late Eu-
gene Clayton.
Prime credit for party recogni-
ton is due to the fact that the city
and county Republican Executive
Committee has three Negro men,
bers. Through the years they have
consistently sponsored Negro can
