Schools STUDY
Merit Pay in
Alexandra

Merit pay for teachers has
been under consideration by a
committee of Alexandria school
principals since September.
Announcement of the study
was made last night by School
Superintendent T. C. Williams
at a school board meeting.
A report from the commit
tee is expected in February.
Mr.. Williams said he had asked
the principals to study the
problem.
In the 1920s Mr.. williams was
school superintendent in Ches-
terfield County, Va, where a
merit pay system was used. He
said it did not work out too
we'll.
He said the new study was
aimed at finding out whether
a workable system could be
devised.
The school principals are
studying literature on the sub
ject from various sections of
the country. he said.
The m ain difficulty with
merit pay, he noted, is in fig
uring out who determines who
is a superior teacher in terms
that all the teachers accept" "
Separately, the board heard
a request from Mrs. Geraldine
Kusseling, president of the
Alexandria Association for
Hard of Hearing Children, for
special classes for children with
hearing problems.
The school board agreed that
if enough children with hear
ing profile were found,
classes would be set up at once.

Corridor Plan Backed
For Nearby Maryland

A Prince Georges County

Commissioner Herbert w,

Jerome Hancock. co-chair-
man of the Committee for the
Establishment of a Human Re-
lations Commission in Prince
Georges County, said the group
wanted the commissioners to
name a commission that could
investigate complaints Of racial
discrimination, educate the
public on the subject and ad-
wise legislation.
Mr.. Shipley noted that res
taurantS operate under licenses
issued by the State. The State.
in turn, has no law concerning
restaurant service in regard to
race.
THE County could not pass
a law regarding racial discrimi-
nation in restaurants because
it would jeopardize State Ii

that between July 8 and No.

Stanley B. Frosh, Montgom-

it on to the Treasury Depart

Pay for Care
OF Indigents

Prince Georges County, long
behind other Jurisdictions in
payments for INDECENT medical
care. soon will become the first
in the Washington area to meet
actual hospital costs.
County Commissioner Francis
j. Lastner said last night the
county will begin paying $34
per impatient day in Washing
ton area hospitals at the start
of the next fiscal year on
July /.
To date most jurisdictions
have agreed to a $30-per-day
payment as part of the meet
costs or else" program Of the
Hospital Council for the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area. In
announcing this program two
years ago, the council said hos
pitals would begin refusing pa
tlents If a jurisdiction fails to
pay actual costs by fiscal 1868.
Mr.. Lastner, also chairman
OF the Health and Welfare
Committee of the METROPOLITAN
Regional Conference, said he
hopes the action by the Prince
Georges County commissioners
VIII encourage others to follow
the precedent this spring.
Last week William Bucher
executive director of the hospi-
tai council, wrote all area com
mlSSionerS saying that the in
crease, a final part in the pro-
gram to get full costs for indi-
gent care, should 60 into effect
July /.
Most areas have gone along
with the $3O-per-day figure,
Prince Georges, however. is the
only county which has not
signed contracts for INDECENT
care with individual hospitals.
Mr.. Lastner said that is not
needed and that payments will
be made only for cases certified
as INDECENT by the county, not
Just anyone who wanders into
a hospital and says he cannot
pay.
The area INDECENT program
involves some 10000 patients
a year in hospitals outside
their own locality. Most of
these. however, are treated in
the District.

"A restaurants refusal Ito

So," Mr.. Baggett said.
Russell w. Shipley, assistant
county attorney. told the group
there was nothing In the law
to stop it from creating its own
committee on human relations.
But if you advised the COM

The company yesterday filed
the new request for CONVEX
sion of the remaining two
trolley lines, Fourteenth street
and U street, with the Wash

Transit Commission.
Earlier this month the COM
pany had asked PERMISSION to
switch the lines to bus routes
on June II.
The new request was taken
under study by the area COM
mission.
In a letter to the commission.
a major reason given for the
new conversion date proposal
was the company's desire to
avoid maintenance and finan-
cial headaches involved in
keeping the streetcar tracks
clear during snowStorms.
The area transit agency has
indorsed an earlier stipulation
by the District Public Utilities
Commission that permission to
convert the remaining street
car lines hinged on purchase of
165 new air conditioned buses.
Since that time. the company
has switched on two trolley
routes, Mount Pleasant and
Eleventh street.
The transit system has
pledged that it will have rs

Reds Borrow
CD Films
For Embassy

Two Soviet Embassy repre-
Sentatives, who at first claimed
Ito be members Of "a private
concern in the city" borrowed
three unclassified films on civil
defense, George R. Rodericks,
District Civil Defense director,
reported today.
Three days later, Mr..
Rodericks said, they returned
the films to Civil Defense head
quarters and asked for more.
They were told to make future
requests through the State De-
partment, and they haven't
been heard from since. he said
The films are available to
the general public" Mr.. Rode
ricks explained. They were bor-
rowed october IL. he said.
Question of Protocol"
Tie girl didn't hesitate to
give them the films" he said
The only hesitation was on
their part to tell US who they
were"
Mr.. Rodericks said he had
referred the matter to the
State Department as a ques-
ton of protocol.
THE State Department, as I
take it, has the responsibility of
civil defense for all embassies, "
he said.
He said that the District civil
defense office has some discre-
ton and can loan the films
directly to an embassy but he
said he did not recall any other
embassy asking.
Mr.. Rodericks said the two
admitted they were from the
Soviet Embassy when told that
the form for borrowing the
films requires more specific
identity than members of a
private concern" He said Civil
Defense officials had had no
idea that they were Russians.
Speakes without Accent
"One of them didn't speak
at all" Mr.. Rodericks said.
The other looked like any
young boy out of Harvard. He
had a crew cut and no accent. :"
The two were identified as
Anatoli M. Skorikov, listed as
"a civilian employe at the En-
bassy, and 1t. Col. Alexandr
v. Udalov, assistant air at
tache.
When they returned the
films-on biological warfare
and bombproofing buildings
they said 38 persons at the
Embassy had enjoyed them.
and would like to see others

said.
