70 opera companies, 211 ballet

Gus university theatrical groups of
high quality, now confined to
their own campus, should have
ar opportunity to play before a
national audience. BY bringing
the best Of these to the National
Cultural Center in Washington,
local performing groups would
have greater incentive and the
center would thus, become an &C

Salad and Iced Tea
Go Well Together

A tall pitcherful Of iced tea
is a boon to have on hand
during the hot summer
months. For between-meal
slipping, at luncheon or din
ner, iced tea is the perfect
beverage-long in refresh
ment, but low in calories.
There are only 3 calories
in a 6-ounce glass, so you
can drink all you want with
out fear of adding pounds
while you quench your thirst.
Because it's non-filling, with
no cloying, sweet aftertaste,
it doesn't dull the appetite
for the essential nourishing
foods one must eat, weather
Or no.
It's important, of course,
to prepare iced tea properly
to make the most of
its thirst-quenching pickup
qualities. For a perfect
pitcherful, try this easy open
saucepan method, guaranteed
to produce clear amber
colored iced tea every time.

Use Old Blankets to Make Quilted Comforter

Isn't it heartbreaking to
throw away blankets that are
partially worn and faded? I
don't mean the ones with
frayed binding that can be
easily replaced, but the blan-
kets that look seedy all over.
One way of utilizing an old
blanket Is to cover it with q
pretty chintz or some other
cotton fabric, then quilt it
into a new comforter. If you
have two or three blankets,
worn badly in spots, cut out
the best part of each until
you have the size you wish
covered and then sew the
pieces together.
Now cut the outer covering,
by cutting as many lengths
as necessary (two will prob
ably do. for each sidel and
sew them together. After
measuring your blanket,
check to see that the outer
cover. Is cut to fit 1t perfectly.
Then, sew the front and back
covers together on three
sides. leaving one side open
to insert the blanket.
Ask someone to help you
insert the blanket in the
cover. The bulk will make it
difficult for you to do this
smoothly without assistance.
: After inserting the blanket,
pin the blanket to the cover
along the edges, making sure
the blanket edge reaches the
inner edge Of the cover. Then
turn in the edges Of the open
side and slip-stitch closed
with small stitches.
Basic the blanket and cover
together on all edges. Now
baste with long stitches across
the lengthwise and crosswise
grains with basting rows
about 3 inches apart. Be
sure not to skip the basting
step, because it keeps the
cover from slipping while
you're machine stitching.
Remove the regular presser
foot from your machine and
attach the Quilter. This at

each successive row from

the edge of the space guide
to the previous row of stitch
ing. Place space guide to the
right or left Of needle so you
can handle the bulk in the
most convenient way.
Since the coverlet is large
and bulky. guide fabric with
both hands placed on the
fabric so the lengthwise grain
forms a straight line between
hands. Place a card table
against the back of the
machine so excess quilt can
be spread out as you sew.
Continue stitching the rows
until cover is completely
quilted.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 3.-The
Maryland Congress of Parents
and Teachers today is launch
ing a drive for a basic teacher
pay scale above an already in
dorsed schedule of $4,000 to
$4,000.
The congress, at a legislative
session during it's 46th annual
convention here last night, re-
iterated its support of the
s4,000-$6,000 scale, but cleared
the way for a much higher"
goal. The present State mini
NUNS are $3,6O0-$5, 700.
That $4,OOO-$6,OOO was all
right when we first indorsed it
in 1858 but now many mem
bers feel it should be much
higher" said Mrs. Fred Bull,
legislative chairman of the
congress.

A new public housing expert
ment for Washington, the pur-
CHI Sc and rehabilitation of
homes for large families with
low incomes, has been indorsed
by the Commissioners.
Under this plan, the National
Capital Housing Authority will
buy so houses scattered through
out two of the Districts CON
servation" areas, Northeast and
Cardozo.
Under the Commissioners ac-
ton, the local housing authority
will ask Federal housing Off
cials to approve the program.
The local housing agency
woull acquire the houses only
from property owners who want
to sell. and not through con-
demnation action, officials said.
The northeast section is
bounded by Benning road, Okla

nue., Second street and the
Union Station railroad yard.
The Cardozo area is bounded

At a Commissioners meeting
yesterday, Walter WASHINGTON
executive director of the NCHA,
said there are about 5000 fam
lilies on the waiting list for pub
lie housing here. Close to 2.5OC
are on the waiting list for units
with four or more bedrooms, he
said.
Mr.. Washington told the
Commissioners the so privately
owned houses sought in the
two areas would be four bed
rooms or larger.
He said he hoped the hous-
ing authority would be able to
buy and rehabilitate these
homes at a cost well below a
statutory ceiling of about ST.
900.
Washington's present public
housing quarters are in de-
velopments built by the hous-
ing authority.

Mother Rescues
Child StrungIing
On Rope Swing

A Vienna (Va.) mother saved
her 16-month-old daughter
from strangling yesterday when
she removed a rope which had
been tied around the child's
neck during a game.
Mrs. Benjamin A. Tomassetti,
BIT Flint Hill road, said she
found her daughter Barbara
slumped on her hands and
knees and tied to a backyard
swing.
Mrs. Tomassetti said that
Barbara, her 4-year-old sister
and a neighbor boy had been
pretending the swing was the
mast of a ship.
Somehow Barbara slipped
and the rope, looped around
her neck, began choking her,
Mrs. Tomassetti said.
She said she slipped the rope
from her daughters neck and
administered mouth-to-mouth
artificial respiration.
Barbara was reported in good
condition today at Fairfax Hos
pital.

Project Marlboro, the report
calling for far reaching
changes in the Prince Georges
County government, was Bit
terly attacked last night at its
point Of origin - the county'S
Civic Federation.
County Attorney Robert Ma
thiaS and County Treasurer
Charles c. Callow held sway
for more than two hours at a
federation meeting in HyattS-
vile Elementary School.
They told the federation dele
gates that the report is full of
errors and distortions" and
that some members of the fed

wrote it we're out to use the
federation as forum to
get those five Democrats (the
county commissioners out of
office"
Suggestion Adopted
During questioning later,
however, Mr.. Matthias said sew
eral specific recommendations
made by the report are worth
while. He said he agrees with
the report committee that the
number Of county commits
sioners should be increased to
reflect population increases and
that the commissioners could
use more employees.

port-wYiting committee present
last night were not allowed to
make a formal defense of their
report. But last nights meeting
was the occasion for many con-
troversies. Mr.. Matthias COM
planned that he had been asked
to debate the Marlboro report,
not to make a straight presen-
tation. Federation President
Walter F. Mulligan said the
attorney had been asked to
present the accomplishments OF
the present form Of govern
ment. No mention was made OF
a debate on the federation's re-
port, Mr.. Mulligan said.
Constant Disputes
Several times during his pre-
sentation, Mr.. Matthias COM
planned to Mr.. Mulligan that
he was being heckled from the
floor by members of the Project
Marlboro committee. The ques-
ton period was punctuated by
constant disputes.
After lengthy condemnation
Of the report, Mr.. Matthias out
lined some of the achievements
of the commissioner form of
government in the county. He
said the county hospital is the
largest general hospital in the
State outside Baltimore. He said
the commissioners have ex-
panded the park and zoning
areas in the county and kept
down the cost of government.
II think we have an eco
nomical and conservative gov
ernment," he said.

missioners are now debating
whether to hire an administra-
tive assistant and that the
county will buy more of it's
supplies in cooperation with
the school board through bid
ding.
Both suggestions were made
in Project Marlboro, which calls
for home-rule charter govern
ment and an elected county
executive.
But the fiery county attorney
apparently felt that the rest
Of the report and the committee
which produced it were fair
game. He continually indicated
that a small group within the
subcommittee was trying to
''use the federation to get
Rne county commissioners"
At one point he told the 180
delegates this group consists of
William c. Overton, jr.; H. S.
CARRIER and James F. Vance.
During the question period
Nh. Overton, Mr.. Vance and
several other subcommittee
members denied these allega-
tions.
To Act Next Month
Il challenge you (delegates)
to think about this report very
seriously" Mr.. Matthias said.
Because if you vote to adopt
it, you must adopt all of it."
The federation delegates are
scheduled to approve or reject
the report at their December
meeting. Members of the re-

Larger Pay Rise Sought
By Virginia Teachers

RICHMOND, Nov. 3 CAP).-
Virginia schoolteachers have
been told the next Legislature
will be asked to raise their pay
scales even more than the
amount recommended by the
State Board of Education.
The wage increases sought by
the education board are much
too low" Charles Smith of
Hopewell, chairman of the
Virginia Education Associa-
tion's Legislative Committee,
told the annual YEA conven-
ton which will adjourn today.
Mr.. Smith said the burden of
the committees effort at the
1862 General Assembly will be
to try to get the minimum SAL
ary scale raised"
The address by Mr.. Smith,
made to some 1000 convention
delegates yesterday, came at
the YEA conventions second
general session.
The present salary scale for
Virginia public Schoolteachers
ranges from $4,000 for begin
ners to $4,000 for those at the
top Of the scale. The State
Board of Education has pro-
posed boosting the scale to
$3,150-$4,350 in 1962-63, and
to $3,350-S4,550 in 1963-64.
Scale Declared Low
Mr.. Smith said the boards
new scale is much too low"
and that the YEA will seek a
scale ranging from $4,000 to
$500 for teachers holding
bachelors degrees.
Delegates to the convention,
generally with little discussion
adopted a program of action"
for the YEA almost identical
with the program of last year,
and a dozen resolutions SPELL
ing out YEA policy.
There was a bit of debate be-
fore the convention adopted one
of the resolutions which put the
YEA on record as condemning
nations and peoples who "hold
in utter contempt the physical
welfare of humanity"
The resolution patiently was
aimed at nations which test
nuclear weapons, and one dele
gate. Roger Koontz of Frederick
County, said it was objection
able because the United States
itself must test nuclear weap-
ons - so long as the Soviet
Union does so.
Mr.. Koontz said objections to
nuclear testing might give the

YEA, in some quarters, a repu-
tation as "far left-wing."
The delegates, however, voted
him down and adopted the reso-
luton as proposed.
The program of action calls
for better pay, better provision
for retirement benefits, sick
leave. and emergency leave for
teachers.
Membership Restricted
Delegates also adopted a pro-
poSal restricting full YEA mem
berShip-including voting rights
to teachers who hold college
degrees. The plan does not
effect teachers already men,
berS of the YEA.
Conflicting viewpoints on how
to strengthen United States
power and prestige were aired
before delegates last night.
Norman Cousins, editor of
the Saturday Review, suggested
the best course for this Nation
lay in building the United Ma
tionS into a reflection of actual
world power"
James j. Fitzpatrick, editor of
the Richmond News Leader
said he considered the United
Nations an almost bankrupt
institution" and would advise
the national administration to
take prudent regard for our
security"
Mr.. Cousins delivered the
principal address at the evening
session, and afterwards debated
his points with Mr.. Fitzpatrick
and DR.. w. A. Mabry, dean OF
faculty at Randolph-Macor
College.
