So long as school teachers
demand better salaries, the
public has a right to demand
better teaching, two Arlington
Counyt Board members de-
clared yesterday.
Ernest Wilt warned that the
School Boards request for a $1.2
million budget request this year
will encounter difficulty unless
it is accompanied by assurances
that inferior instructors will
be dismissed and recruitment
standards raised.
Herbert Brown adopted a
somewhat milder position, and
along with his colleague indi-
Gated he may vote to kill a pro-
posed merit pay plan" because
he thinks it will merely reward
longevity rather than merit.
Mr.. Wilt said, ''I intend to
do my best to see that before
we adopt the school budget this
year, we receive specific evi-
dence that we will obtain better
teaching and that action will
be taken to remove those in-
structorS considered incompe-
tent"
Row Likely to Break
Although Mr.. Brown and Mr..
Wilt long have been associated
with school causes, their dec
larations are likely to provoke
widespread controversy in Ar
lington which has a citizenry
keenly interested in public edu-
cation and LOO well-or-
ganized. articulately represent
ed teachers.
Through huge investments
in the past decade the county
has equipped itself with an
ultramodern school plant. 1t
now leads all Virginia COM
munities in teacher pay, ex-
penditures per pupil, proper
ticn Of students sent to colleges
and number of national schol-
arShipS won.
But Mr.. Wilt and Mr.. Brown
Yesterday asserted that more
remains to be done.
"The current school budget
shows that in Arlington the
average teachers salary has
risen dramatically In the last
four years. 1t has gone from
$4,000 in 1957-58 to $4,000 in
1960-61. 1t will rise still more
if the latest proposals are &C
cepted," Mr.. Brown said.

Favors Still More

Il think that the quality of
our instruction is high and that
greater salary increases are
quite necessary. But I also
think that further increases
must be coupled with rigorous
insistence upon developing still
higher quality and upon re-
moving teachers who do not
meet the standards for which
we are asking the community
to pay"
School administrators have
contended that progressively
higher salary scales will enable
them to attract Increasingly
better instructors and that it
would be both disruptive and
unfair to dismiss mediocre
teachers who have done their
best for many years.
They also emphasize that it

BRIDGES Seat

CONCORD, N. H.. Dec. G
(AP).-Gov. Wesley Powell said
today he would not name him
self to succeed the late Sen
ator Styles Bridges, Republican

Gov. Powell declined to say

The Governor also told a

run for the Republican nomina-
ton for Senator in the Sep
TENDER primaries.
While the Governor did not
mention Mrs. Bridges. the Sen
ator's widow, by name, a state
ment referred to the gentle
man I shall appoint to the
United States Senate" Mrs
Bridges had been considered
one Of the top possibilities by
political observers here.

support the boy. Neither the
brother, her sister nor her mar

pected to be free by the end
of next year, when he would be
able to care for the boy.
During the boys past year at

The series of swearings-in
necesSitated by the recent State
Department shakeup came to
an end today as Walt Whitman
Rostow promised to defend the
Constitution as chief of the
Policy Planning Board.
The ceremonies have been Of
unusual interest and even poig-
nancy as one after another of
the men from the White House
promised to do their duty in
the presence of the men whom
they are replacing.
They have required diplo-
matte skill from Secretary OF
State Rusk, the genial host,
who has been gliding smoothly
from tribute to the old man to
welcome for his replacement.
Predecessor Present
Mr.. Rostow, for instance, was
sworn in this morning while
his predecessor, George Nc
Chez. who has been moved over
to the post of Assistant Secre-
tary of State for Public Affairs,
looked on.
Yesterday, when Frederick G.
Dutton, erStwhile secretary OF
the Cabinet, took his oath as
Assistant Secretary of State for
Congressional Relations, he
heard Mr.. Rusk say that he
would have to work hard to
keep up the pace of Brooks
Hays" whose performance was
said not to be to the Presidents
satisfaction. Mr.. Hays was
there to shake hands with Mr..
Dutton.
Mr.. buttons was the best
attended of the recent series.
Chief Justice Warren held the
Bible and a score of other CAL
ifornians and White House men
almost filled the Secretary'S re-
ception room. The proceedings
were further enlivened by the
babbling of Mr.. buttons 18-
month-old daughter, Eve.
The custom of having cne's
secretary call up friends and
ask them to the installation
ceremony is well-established en-
the New Frontier. For the cur
rent run, however. there has
been need to issue invitations;
many State Department en-
ployes. curious about the new
boss. have been only too elad
to attend.
George w. Boil, jr., who re-
placed Chester Bowles as IN
dersecretary, chose to raise his
right hand in private. He and
Mr.. McGhee disappointed their
public by being installed in the
Secretarys office.
Mr.. Ball, an old hand around
the State Department, ex-
planned it this way: When
you've been married six times
before, you like to do it
quietly"
The star of the new series
was unquestionably and I'M
expectedly w. Averell Harri-
man. who replaced Walter Nc
Conaughy as Assistant Secre-
tary for the Far East. Mr..
Hartman was exposed by Dean
Rusk as a man who despite a
lifetime in diplomacy had never
put in any time at the State
Department. Mr.. Rush de-
scribed Mr.. Hartman as one
who has scared like an eagle
in foreign policy and has now
come home to the nest"
Had Many Jobs
Mr.. Hartman seemed enter
tanned by the recital of the
long list of jobs he has held
in the Federal Government and
told the gathering that in 1941,

The supper bazaar and clever
play "a Gentle Jury" given at
the Club House last Thursday
evening brought the Ladies
Guild total receipts amounting
to $4,000. Out of this amount
the ladies will net $l34. One of
the best things of the evening
was the amusing little play, "a
Gentle Jury" worked up and
arranged by Mrs. Alice Reed.
The play was entirely home tai
ent and laughable to the ex-
.treme, having in it a little hit
at woman suffrage and showing
that in public and judicial ques-
tions women are still as ever
prone to disagree. The receipts
from this play amounted to $l4.
