Delegates Turn Down
eochers' Pay Request

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 10 (AP)
"A House subcommittee has
recommended outright rejec-
ton of a $13 million program
OF teacher pay increases and
a sharp revision of the James
Committee formula of aid to
local governments.
1t said the Maryland State
Teachers Associations pay
raise program lis virtually un-
attainable unless the people of
Maryland are prepared to &C
cept either a graduated income
tax rate or a 4 per cent sales
tax rate"
The recommendations are in
a report which a five-man sub
committee headed by Delegate
Blair Lee III, Democrat Of
Montgomery, has prepared for
submission to the House Ways
and Means Committee.
1t recommends that the Leg
iSlature enact the James Com
mittee program but revise
sharply the channels through
which aid to local governments
would flow. The report upholds
the basic premise Of the Legis-
lative Council fiscal group that
funds should not be tied to
salaries, but rather used as
local governments see fit.
The subcommittee added
$337 ,596 to the James commit
tee program. boosting the total
amount to new State aid to
Baltimore City and the coun-
ties to $9,518,744..
These are the chief changes
from original proposals:
l. Aid for school operations,
from which salary money can
be taken, was increased from
$3.3 million to $5,160,964.
2. Increased aid for school
construction was reduced from
So million to SIG million and

Air Rights
Deals Brine

By 8 Star Staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 10. The
Prince Georges County legisla-
tive delegation yesterday asked
that the Department of Defense
review the procedures being
used in acquiring air rights for
extension of Andrews Air Force

The delegation said that a

no provision has been made for

The resolution, which the
Prince Georges legislators asked
the General Assembly to pass,
said that the Federal Housing,
Administration has recognized

its housing loan insurance ap-

area.
The resolution asked for a
review to determine whether
these procedures should be
changed. The Air Force is ac-
quiring only the right to the air
space above the property and is
not taking the property itself.

approval and has been sent to
Gov Tawes for signature.
Enactment of the Legislation.
came yesterday on a 91-to-25
vote in the House of Delegates
after 1t had earlier passed the
Senate.
The entire Montgomery
County delegation registered a
protest vote, and Blair Lee
ILL.,, chairman Of the county

criticism Of the measure.
My nanny done told me
when I was in knee pants that
if you don't have the votes you

ed that he felt duty-bound to
protest.
This bill purports to be a
redistricting BILL" he said, but
he pointed out that it leaves
two districts far out of line
from an overpopulation stand
point.
Two Districts Cited
The administration bill,

Democratic Party leaders, di-
VideS the big 5th district of

does nothing for the 9th and

Mr.. Lee said the two districts

portunity to straighten out

The Pentagon stipulated that

In other words, an unprotected

To qualify as a blast protec-
ton shelter, the structure must
be designed to protect its occu-

at least 30 pounds a square inch

Living Cost Index
To 57-'5o Bose
BY the Associated Press

The Government is changing
the base period for it's living
cost index from l947-49 to
1957-59. The change will be-
come effective with the January
index when made public in late
February.
Similar changes in base Pc
riods have been ordered. by the
Budget Bureau for indices kept
regularly on statistics Of wage
rates, employment and foreign
trade.
The idea is that a more re-
cent comparative period makes
the data more useful. Officials
sa i'd users favor Short-run
rather than long-run COMPARE
sons.
About a decade ago the 1947-
49 base was adopted to replace
a 1937-39 base for the same
reason.
Officials said the change is
strictly a mathematical CONVEX
sion and will not affect the
method of collecting living cost
figures or their meaning or ac-
curacy in any way. Instead of
stating present price levels in
relation to 1947-49 priCes the
comparison will be stated in

INTERPRETIVE REPORT

Star, however, published a
series of cartoons showing
Germans getting nuclear bombs
from Americans even though
the United States government
has said repeatedly it is not
giving the Germans nuclear
warheads for rockets.
The propaganda campaign
has reached in other directions,
too-television shows of French
police operating against dem
onstrators and depicting Amer
leans as being unfair to Negroes.
These are intermingled with
war films showing German
wartime operations.
West German Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer is frequently
depicted in roles resembling
Hitler. One sequence on tele-
vision showed Hitler speaking
with rapid gestures. More
leisurely gestures by Mr.. Ade-
nauer were stepped up by
speeding the film to indicate
he is acting with the same
frenzy.
U. S. Unemployment Cited
A number of magazine and
newspaper articles are also pub
lished here to offset growing
belief among the Russians that
they are not living as we'll as
the Americans and West Euro
peans.
One recent article pointed
out the big unemployment list
in the United States whereas
there is no unemployment in
the Soviet Union.
Other articles on labor
unions, education and medical
services are written to tell the
Russians they are better off.
Attacks on the Kennedy ad-
ministration appear intermit-
tently-not so frequently in
newspapers, but continually in
some magazines.
Some stories went to great
length in an effort to show
that President Kennedy got a
poor reception on his South
American tour.

of 1860 following the U-2 Incl

Organizations Military Com
mittee, be sent to Moscow for
trial as a war criminal.
Gen. HeuSinger is stationed
in Washington. The Russians
unquestionably knew in ad-
vance the United States would
never surrender him, but the
demand for his eXtradition
triggered off an attack on the
conduct of German armies
during World War II that con-
tinues almost daily.
Red Star, the military serv-
ices official newspaper. has
been running daily war llorroI
pictures of hangingS of Soviet
partisans, trenches filled with
bodies and still others of parti-
sans lined up to be shot by
hiring squads.
Prelude to Negotiations
Normally this sort of pre-
paratory propaganda in the
Soviet Union precedes almost
every international negotiation,
such as the one expected early
next year over the German
situation. 1t is piped abroad
to help prepare the atmosphere
for the conference and indicate
how stern the Russian position
will be.
But much of the present
propaganda is not distributed
abroad. 1t is published in
newspapers and carried still
more on television. Neither of
these mediums has a foreign
audience but they have an
enthusiastic domestic one.
The suppoSition in West Ger
man and American quarters
here is that the propaganda is
intended to reactivate suspicion
OF Americans along with the
Germans. not only among the
Russian people but also among
European members of the North
Atlantic alliance who were
World War II victims of the
NaZiS.
Nuclear Weapons Mentioned
The Americans are looped
into the same orbit by continual
reference to United States
equipment given German
armies, especially rockets. Most
of the news stories are phrased
to give the impression that the
Americans have already given
nuclear weapons to the Ger
mans, although only rockets
are actually mentioned. Red
