Teachers Ask
NewPdy Base
In Arlington
Call for Salaries
On Professional
Corning Level
W w@ww~y
BY JOHN BARRON
Star Staff Writer

Arlington teachers have en-
listed the Census Bureau to
help them prepare what they
call an unprecedented appeal
for higher salaries.
The instructors this fall will
propose that their salaries
henceforth be determined on
the basis Of what doctors, law
yerS, engineers and other pro-
fesSional people in the COM
munity actually are earning.
Traditional methods of de-
Gliding pay scales should be
abandoned, they say.
The Arlington Education
Association, which represents
some HOO teachers, has en-
gagged the Census Bureau to
ascertain the income of the
average professional employee
after any given number of
years since graduation from
college.
Never Done Before
This never has been done
before and I predict it will
have far reaching repercus-
sions in the country. The Ma
tional Education Association is
very interested and so are peo-
pie in Montgomery County"
said AEA Executive Secretary,
Richard Neal. who yesterday
disclosed the plan.
Although we have received
steady raises, scales each year
have been determined pretty
much on the basis Of what the
traffic would bear at the time.
But If the community considers
teachers professional people,
then it must Of necessity COM
penSate them as professional
people, then it must of neces-
sity compensate them as pro-
fessional people. 1t should be
willing to give them enough
security so they can live side
by side with the parents whose
children they are teaching"
Teachers salaries in Airing
ton currently are higher than
in any other Virginia jurisdic-
ton. But the census data
probably will show that their
pay still is appreciably lower
than that of other college
graduates with comparable lon
gevity in their particular fields.
Higher Standards
Mr.. Neal declared that II the
school board should agree to
try to diminish the difference
by accepting the AEA proposal
and putting pay scales on a
philosophical basis" the teach
ers themselves would be the
first to demand higher stand
ards Of education, recruitment
and performance for them
selves.
He also predicted they might
agree to a merit pay plan,
something they persistently
have opposed. If satisfactory
pay is awarded for satisfactory
service"
With higher salaries 60
higher standards and higher
expectations by the commun-
ity. That is understood" he
said.

Hal Silvers, Prince Georges
County civil defense director.
thinks that anyone who can af-
ford an Idiot box" can afford
a fallout shelter.
Mr.. Silvers' reference to tele-
vision is just one of the pungent
comments the energetic d.
rector intersperses in a nom
stop dissertation on civil de-
Tense.
The bantam weight CD chief
has built up the largest volun-
teer civil defense force among
the Maryland counties, but his
outSpoken views occasionally
get him in hot water.
Just last week he stirred the
ire of a group of women over a
survival course, and two days
later took issue with a State
civil defense plan calling for
evacuation OF metropolitan
areas in event of an attack.
Here are a few other views
Mr.. Silvers expressed to a re-
porter:
Too much money is spent for
distributing maps. "A person
can get better and more up-to-
date ones at the nearest gas
station"
There's too much buck-pass-
ing in civil defense.
There are too many generals
and adrnirals in civil defense.
8 Hours Part Time
The 39-year-old director, who
says he spends eight hours a
day at the part-time job, said
he got interested in civil de-
Tense while working with civic
groups. He wrote a letter to
newspapers six years ago out
lining his views and was
promptly recommended for the
Prince Georges post by County
Commissioner Frank Lastner.
A candidate for the post of
Maryland civil defense chief,
Mr.. Silvers said that if he gets
the job things will get crack
ing in State headquarters.
"All the white helmets and
coveralls will go with all the
other show and it will be strict
ly a round the clock seven
day-a-week working headquar-
ters," he said.
Right now, Mr.. SilverS is en-
gagged in an argument with
State headquarters over a civil
defense plan for the county.
Evacuation Plan
he SalQ tnat since 1909, the
State headquarters has been
trying to get him to set up a
plan calling for evacuation of
Washington and close in Prince
Georges residents.
He said a tactical evacua-
ton" that is, at the time an
attack is imminent, would be
foolhardy. He said he agrees to
strategic evacuation" under
which civilians would be evac-
uated ahead of time from likely
target areas to the back coun-
try.
He said panic evacuation

A funny thing happened to
Myrt and Margaret on the way
to the Zoo the other day
They got stopped by Mary
land authorities because their
chauffeur didn't have a State
gasoline tax sticker.
They are probably the first
lady CRATES in history ever to
be taken into custody on
Route 40.
However, Washington Zoo
Director Theodore Reed said
the two 12-footers had already
survived a tedious ocean voy-
age from Africa and a 30-day
quarantine period in New York,
so the Maryland incident
didn't faze them much.
Didn't Have Bond
Margaret and Myrt, who are
named after the wives of two
Zoo employees, were lust limo
cent bystanders in their brush
with the law. They were just
idling away the hours, leaning
against their crates on the
back of a truck bringing them
to Washington when the We
hicle stopped at an official
weighing station near Aber-
deem. That's when the tax
stamp trouble came up.
The driver for the Oak
Trucking Co. Of Hampstead,
Long Island, N. Y, didn't have
the $101.45 bond demanded of
him by the Maryland Roads
Commission people.

When I walked into their
meeting, the first thing
heard was some one saying
something about keeping a gun

sort of thing"

Commissioner Walter N. To-
briner wants to explore a pos
sible expansion of care for in
! digent patients in private hos
: pitfalls in the District.
Mr.. Tobriner's view marks a
rather sharp departure from a
previous Board of Commission
ers' policy. Under the late Com
; missioner David Karrick, city
officials tried to keep to a
minimum the public payments
to voluntary hospitals with
which the District contracts fol-
services to the needy.
Hospitals complained that
they were losing money on in
digent care. Some sent their
overload Of INDECENT patients to
D. C. General, the municipal
hospital.
Pressure raised rates paid
hospitals by District and metro
Ipolitan governments from an
average of about $40 to $50
per patient from 1858 to the
present.
Has Hospital Experience
AS former president of the
old Garfield Hospital and of
the new Hospital Center, Mr..
Tobriner, now president of the
Board of Commissioners. may
well be in a position to nego-
tiate a new kind of solution to
the complicated problem of
INDECENT care.
At least a start in this d.
rection was promised by Com
missioner Tobriner last night.
He said $13 million of con-
struction at D. c. General
would be deferred until the
private care potential is fully
considered.
Il don't think we utilize the
plants of voluntary hospitals
in the District sufficiently"
Mr.. Tobriner said on the
WWDC program, Report to
the People.
Some cooperative plan
might be worked out, whereby
a great deal of the D. C. Gen.
eral load might be handled by
voluntary hospitals"

Negroes Gain
In Grades on
District Staff
Survey Indicates
Trend to Greater
Responsibility
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

| Negroes are moving up the
District Governments job lad
der. according to a report by
the city's personnel office.
The report to the Commits
sioners shows a trend toward
giving Negroes higher-level
jobs in the city government
1t is based on the city's second
annual racial job survey.
There was almost no change
during the last IL months in
the total percentage of city
jobs held by white and Negro
workers.
AS of last July l, there were
24.670 District employees. OF
these, 1881 or 46.7 per cent
were Negroes, the report said
A year earlier, the figures
were %, 180 workers, with 0,843
or 46.8 per cent, Negro.
Latest Report
But latest report said:
Significantly (the statistics)
reveal a trend toward the as
signment Of Negro employees to
positions that involve increas-
ingly higher responsibility"
In the blue collar" category
the report showed:
A drop in the percentage Of
jobs held by Negroes in the
lower four grades from 92.1
per cent to 87.8 per cent last
July /; an increase in grades
S through II from CAT to 65.5
per cent, and an increase in
grades IL through 10 from 1873
to 14.8 per cent.
Figures Listed
In the general classification,
or white collar" category, the
figures for last year and this
year we're:
Grades IA, SIS to 57.9 per
cent; grades sill, 24.4 to 1858
per cent, and grades 1918,
81 to rs per cent.
The report gave a grade-by-
grade breakdown of the num-
Der Of jobs held by Negroes in

May Zone Areas
Billing for hospital services
in the District spill over District
lines. Contract arrangements
also must be made with sur
rounding counties.
In the District alone, the To-
briner suggestion might lead to
some kind Of a hospital zon-
ing. Needy patients then could
go to the hospital nearest their
home. just as children go to the
school closest their homes.
Any such arrangements
would have to be worked out
comparatively with the Hos

Capital Area, which attempts
to coordinate INDECENT rates
throughout the Washington
Metropolitan Area.
And Congress would have to
agree to the principle and the
cost, which has not been fully
estimated.
