He recently voted with Com
missioner Frederick j. Clarke
for a S4.2 million pay boost for
teachers. However, Commits
Sioner Walter N. Tobriner has
strongly favored a $50 million

In presenting the $4.2 million

board.

ISOLATION had been given ar
opportunity to review the Dis.

However. he said, Mr.. To-

enough time left to consult the
association.
Mr.. Duncan said he invited
both Mr.. Tobriner and Gen.
Clarke to attend the special
meeting today, but only Gen.
Clarke appeared.
Mr.. Duncan said DR.. To-

Bill in House
Would Help
D. 6. Schools

A bill which could mean an
estimated S4.5 million to Dis
trict schools under aid to Fed
orally impacted areas was ap-
proved today by a House Edu-
cation and Labor subcommittee
The bill, a combination of
several introduced, also cut the
eligibility requirement for Fed
eral aid. The current require
ment under the 5000 million
program is that 6 per cent of
average daily attendance in
school districts be children of
Federal employees.
The bill approved today cuts
this requirement to 8 per cent
The District has not been
included in the program since
it was begun in 1850, despite re-
peated congressional effortsfol

In addition. today's bill ex'
tended the aid to = impacteC
areas program two years.
Nearby Maryland and Vir.
ginia school systems are heavily

Bills in the House were orig
inally introduced by Repre-
sentatives Roosevelt, Democrat
of California, Kearns. Republic
can of Pennsylvania, and Null
ter. Democrat of New York
Representatives Thompson, Nix
and King also introduced meas
ures including the District.
Representative O'Hara, Dem
ocrat of Michigan, today made
the motion in committee meet
ing to lower the eligibility re-
quirement.
Funds under the bill would
be specifically earmarked for
schools.
The payment to the District
would probably be computed on
the basis of annual cost per
pupil here.

For Transportation Agency
Also included in the 1887 mil
lion appropriations bill for In
terror and related agencies was
$3.4 million for the National
Capital Transportation Agency.
This figure includes So mil

The agency, which is plan

asked for $4.450,000 for sal

There was no disagreement
between the House end Senate
on the reduction from So mil

District Commissioner John
B. Duncan announced today
at a special meeting that he
may change his position on
teachers salaries and support
a higher pay scale.
He said he has been dis
turbed because comparative
salary figures prepared by the
District Teachers Association
differ from those compiled by
District budget office officials.
Mr.. Duncan said he had
acted on the basis of statistics
supplied by the District budget
officers. He added that on the
basis Of the figures used by
the teachers association, he
would have voted differently.
The Commissioner told Dis
trict staff officials at the meet
ing: Il am not indicting the
staff, but if we have made an
error let's be big enough to
admit it," He asked the staff
to check the salary figures and
to report back to him.
Picture Held Unchanged
Schuyler Lowe, director of
the District Department of
General Administration, told
Mr.. Duncan, I'VE got our SAL
airy figures from the office of
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen.
There have been no sta--
ting changes in the Metropoi-
tan Area rates and there has
been no material change in the
overall picture"
But Mr.. Duncan said it is
his understanding that the
Montgomery County teacher
pay scale would be higher than
the Districts at some levels.
He added he has been told
that teachers salaries in sew
eral other large cities would be
higher than Washington's.
II don't see why Washington
has to be behind even the big
cities" Mr.. Duncan said. 81

The

Marine Tells
Whut 1t Wus Like
BY MYRA MACPHERSON

~ AVA uSa NAdCE uEnOON
One Of the first Marines
back from Thailand sighed
and began answering the
question he knows will be
asked again and again,
What was it like?"
People think it must have
been glamorous, or at least
exciting, but it boiled down
to nothing more than a
training expedition. I wasn't
IN Laos or Wet Nam and
there was no fighting in
Thailand," said 22-year-old
1t. Carlos Garcia. About
the most excitement we had
was when a Wet Cong spy
was caught in a village by
the local police.
Camp life took on some
OF the aspects of a carni-
VAL" said 1t. Garcia. Camp
was 10 miles outside Udorn,
40 miles from the Laotian
border. No sooner had the
troops arrived than enter
prising natives set up what
the Marines nicknamed "the
strip"
They sold beer and soft
drinks and rock n roll rec
ords. Where did they get
them? You'd be surprised. I
never heard so many ElviS
Presley records until I got
to Thailand.
"The night clubs also
started up. At first there was
only one, and a month later
there were 10, with girls i'm
ported from Bangkok. The
Twist is outlawed in Thai
land, but we made a try
at it,"

1T. GARCIA, home since
Monday, said he "lived a
little primitively by civilian
standards. We slept on the
ground for approximately one
month, the nearest shower
was 10 miles away and the
invasion you thought Of
most was the flies. We used
to joke that when we left we
wouldn't feel at home not
washing in our helmets.
"As for the rain, I thought
1t would be a lot worse. Be
sides it was welcomed be-
cause it cooled things down
lit got over 100 degrees
many times"
In an exchange program,
the Marines and native
army worked together. 1--WE
had Interpreters and we
could demonstrate fire ma
neuvers and bayonet fight
ing. A need for language
was at a minimum then.
"They live by a different
standard of discipline. The
American boys don't follow
blindly, they ask why they
must do something. But the
natives have a primitive
unquestioned you go here,
you go there arrangement"
1t. Garcia, who is 5 feet,
4 inches tall, may well be
the shortest marine. He had
to petition the commandant
and the 5 foot 6 minimum
was waived. He had just
graduated from Georgetown
School of Foreign Service
and gotten married when he
was called up for active duty
last September. He arrived
in Okinawa last fall, was
trained in guerrilla warfare
and then in battalion land
ing team maneuvers.

U.S.. Gives Money to Save
View F rom Mount Vernon

Congress has voted money to
preserve the view across the
Potomac from Mount Vernon.
The National Park Service
was given $4,000 to buy 1873
acres along the Maryland shore
at Mockley Point.
The funds were included in an
Interior Department money bill
passed by the Senate and sent
to the White House late yes
terday afternoon.
The Senate, without debate,
followed earlier action of the
House in approving conferee
recommendations on the APP
preparations measure. I o..
The move to acquire the
scenic land opposite Mount
Vernon was spanked last year
by plans. which later were re-
vised, to build a regional sew
age treatment plant in sight
of Mount Vernon at Mockley
Point.
Had Asked S9S7.OOO
The $21S,oOO voted yesterday
was a compromise. The Park
Service had asked for $937,OOO
to buy 586 acres. The House,
in its first action on the bill,
had struck the spending re-
quest. The Senate, however,
voted for the amount asked.
In voting to kill the $937 900
item. the House Appropriations
Committee had said it could see
no compelling reason to make
an exception to its policy that
future acquisition of park
lands in the Washington area
should generally be the respon-
Sibility Of the local juriSdic-
tons.
Last December, the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary
Commission said it was switch
ing the location for the pro-
posed sewage plant inland and
out of view of Mount Vernon.
Site Still Considered
Today, the commission chair
man, Blair Hanna Smith, in
dictated that the south shore
Of Piscataway Bay just north
Of Mockley Point is still being
considered for the plant. He
said the logical conclusion"
to be drawn from the APP
preparation passed, which did
not include funds for purchas-
ing land in this area, was that
Congress only meant to keep
the plant from being built

that the record of his clients

conduct on April Z. The charge,
he said. was dropped by the
