Refute Claim Of
Governor On Aid

The Maryland State Teachers
Association took sharp issue with
a statement issued by Odcll NJ

that counties would receive more
state aid under the program rec
commended by the Committee on
Taxation and Fiscal Matters than
it would under the proposal of
the Maryland State Teachers AS
ISOLATION"
Robert Y Dubel, Associate Exec
utivc Secretary of MSTA, de
scribed the news released by the
Governor assistant as a master
piece Of brevity, generalization,
and omission Mr. Dubel pointed
out that the release from the Gov
errors office Jumped proposed
welfare appropriations and local
funds from proposed cigarette
tax with the James Committee rec
concentrations for schools and
then compared this combined pack
age with the MSTA program
which is designed exclusively for
school aid.
Mr. Dubel declared that 1t is
unfortunate that the program en-
dCrsed by our organization was
identified only as an MSTA pro-
pOsal in Mr.. Smiths news release
This program enjoys the sponsor
ship of every statewide organiza-
ton which is directly involved in
the public school program 1t calls
for an increase in the state mini
mum salary schedule for teachers
to a level of S4000-S6OO0 Actually.
this program is under the joint
sponsorship of the Maryland Con-
greSs of Parents and Teachers
and the Maryland State Teachers
Association 1t has the support of
the State Board of Education. the
Maryland Association of School
Boards, and the Maryland As
sociation Of superintendent of
Schools"
MIR Dubel emphasized that the
James Committee proposals for
education, welfare and increased
local revenue through the cigarette
tax are currently before the Legis-
laturc in separate bills. The vel
fare and cigarette tax recommended
tiOns should be considered on their
own merits If the welfare and
cigarette tax bills are passed, we
should add the amount of money
involved for each county and Bah
timorc City to the funds proposed
