The hurricane-force winds
that inflicted q 5000 million
disaster on the Atlantic coast
one year ago today are still
bowling in a dozen courthouse
corridors-in the form Of scores
Of unsettled insurance-claim
suits.
For three days last March.
a savage gale with wind veloc-
tiles up TO rs miles an hour,
blew directly inland. Massive
seas swept over the barrier
beaches from Fire Island, N. Y,
to the Carolinas. wrecking
homes, stores and boardwalks.
The storm reached the height
Of its fury on the night Of
March 6. 1862. In all. 20 lives
were lost, 1904 persons were
injured, 1856 homes we're
swept away and 20.l87 other
homes we're damaged.
Protest Treatment
Spokesman for the Maryland,

that most Of the damage claims

which would make Arlington
teachers by far the best-paid
In the Washington area.

which he declared is without
equal in the United States"
1t would create next fall a
career SCALE" which would en-
able instructors with a bachelor
or arts degree to earn between
$4,000 and $10,500, and those
with masters degrees to re-
ceive between 5000 and $12,-
900.
Beginning in 1865, it would
create a special scale, which
would permit selected, distin-
guished teachers to make as
much as $14,400.
Montgomery New High
In Montgomery County,
which long has led all jurisdic-
tons of the area in salaries,
the top pay for teachers with
bachelors degrees is $3.50; for
those with masters, 1870, and
for those with doctorates, &c.
SIS.
The salary recommendation
formed the most important
part Of the 1963-64 school bud
get in which Mr.. Reid Thurs
day is expected to request about
$l7.S million, an increase of
some $1.3 million.
School authorities estimate
that real estate and personal
property tax rates would have
to be raised from S to 10 cents
per 500 assessed valuation to
finance it.
Three Pay Scales
The pay plan emissions three
separate salary scales. The
lowest, which would range from
$4,000 to $1,000 for instructors
with bachelors degrees and
from $500 to $4,000 for those
with Masters degrees would
apply to beginning teachers
and to all others who fail to
qualify for the superior scale.
After five years of expert
ence, the last three of which
would have to be in Arlington,
an instructor could apply for
transfer to the career scale. +"
The credentials of each ap-
plicant would be examined BY
a l0-member committee on
which teacher representatives
would constitute a majority.
All teachers who now have
sufficient experience would be
eligible to apply for the career
scale, but after this year each
applicant would have to have
a masters degree. Furthermore
the degree would have to rep
resent graduate study in the
teachers particular field and
would have to be from an ac-
ceptable institution.
Teachers React FavOrabIy
/ Mr.. Reid reported it will take
a year to develop criteria for
appointment Of personnel to
the distinguished or highest
scale.
Another significant aspect
Of the plan is one that would
authorize the superintendent
to grant incoming instructors
credit for up to 10 years OF
experience in other school
systems.
Arlington teachers consist
emily have fought all proposals
with provisions for evaluating
instructors and paying them al
different rates.
But Richard Neal. executive
secretary Of the Arlington Edu-
cation Association. today
commented:
II would say that the general
reaction Is a very favorable
one. I am generally optimistic
and I think this Is the attitude

Ralph E. Becker. the associa-

property owners and the insur-

around the question:

Insurance officials have

AFTERMATH OF GALE
'62 Storm Losses Unpaid

Insurance company spokes-
men last year declared they
had paid millions of dollars TO
storm-hit property owners.
Those whose suits are still
pending. however. claim that
nearly all of the payments were
made to the owners Of inland
homes where claims were not
subject TO the wind-versus-
water debate.

plant Of last June has never
been settled. the association
president said. In the interim,
Delaware's former Commits
sioner Of Insurance. Harry
Smith. a Democrat. failed in a
reelection bid last fall. He
was replaced by Robert Short,
a Republican.
Last week the Wilmington
Morning News reported that 40
insurance suits are still pend
ing In State courts. Claims in
volved totaled more than $780,
900.
AuctiOneer Sues
On February 20, one Of the
most recently filed suits was
brought by Maurice Stein,
owner Of the Stuart Kingston

gallery. The suit charges that
three insurance firms have re-
fused 10 honor valid claims for
storm damages totalling sl43.-

Despite the numerous UNI
settled insurance cases. beaches

cottages have been rebuilt IN

Sheraton-Park Hotel, from
Korea by way of Richmond,
1t was decided to get a seat
in the lobby, sit back free Of
any responsibility, an enjoy
pandemonium.
1t was close to that before
they arrived. A group Of
foreign gentlemen, appar-
emily Dutch, milled about
saying harsh goodbys to one
another, each burdened with
fat satchels and cameras.
AS they rushed out to get
their bus, the children ar
rived--the Orphan Choir
from Korea, just in from an
engagement in Richmond.
They slipped easily
through the Dutchmen, pass
ing them at about knee
level, and paraded quietly
into the vast hotel and then
went directly into a big room
off the lobby. They seemed
to move after silent COM
mands. Their faces were
bright and happy.
There were nine boys and
Is girls, Z to 10 years of age.
Not a one acted like they had
ever done anything else but
walk calmly into hotels every
day.
Eventually, they filed down
to the terrace grill and
gathered in one plush dark
corner. They sang a song, a
prayer and then bowed their
heads over the chicken and
string beans and remained
motionless for several min
utes.

Mr.. Hamilton talked about

A suit challenging the law

He alleges the board recently
denied the villa Rosa's appli-

permitting the sale OF beer,
wine and liquor along with
food, on the grounds that the
restaurant was not In business
in 1882 and therefore did not
meet the qualifications set by
law.

Jefferson Place

AS if to reaSSert its inStitu-
tional claims to a branch of
local painting chiefly seen so
far this year at the Adams
Morgan, the Jefferson Place,
after a couple Of first class
exhibitions, has reverted to
the Washington School, and
one of the lower grades, at
that. Mary Meyer shows 10 or
a dozen circular paintings d.
vided into quadrantS around a
center, each section painted
in a a plane flat color, three
colorS to each five-area disk,
for the most part. The divid-
ing lines between areas seem
based on the French curve
and the whole idea on an
unlikely marriage Of Josef
AlberS to the Oriental symbol
of yin and yang. Individually
unprepoSsessing, the paintings
seen together seem silly.
