would produce a surplus.
The tax rate discussion came
last night during the second
session of a mid-year budget
review with the county council.
Brian M. Benson, director of
school finance, said the tax
rate will produce an estimated
$1.38 million surplus by the end
of the fiscal year.
Use County Estimate
Mr.. Benson said the error
resulted because county Off
Gals underestimate the value
of the county's assessable tax
base. Under county regula-
tons, the school-tax rate is set
by the council using the coun-
tvs estimate Of property values.
Four of the seven school board
members and five of the county
councilmen who heard this
testimony we're elected in No
vember on economy pledges
which gained popular support
because of a 37-cent tax in
crease caused by school costs.
The increase would have been
about % cents if correct esti-
mates had been made, accord
ing to the budget analysts.
These estimates are made by
county officials after conference
with school executives.
The unnecessarily high tax
rate was explained when the
council and its $25, 000-a-year
budget consultant, John F,
Briggs, quizzed a procession of
administrators on school costs
during a three-hour session,
The page-by-page review will

day also approved two pieces OF
proposed legislation which they
obviously regarded as a con-
stitutional substitute for what
has been termed the unconsti-
tutional procedure Of arrests
for investigation.
Without commenting directly
on the legislative proposals,
Chief Murray said he hoped
that all the questions raised
by the ban on arrests for in
vestigation and the restrictions
imposed by the 1857 Mallory
decision will be considered by
Congress.
Sees Practical Problems
Under the Mallory decision, a

much time elapsed between ar
rest and a preliminary hearing.
Chief Murray said the pro-
cedure proposed in the new
measures approved by the Com
missioners raised practical
problems which he would dis
cuss at Capitol hearings.
The Commissioners indicated
their awareness that their leg
islative proposals might be
changed during congressional
debates. In deferring the ef-
fective date of their inyestiga-
tive arrest ban until March

TO provide time for considera-

ais or for Congressional action

might be regarded as an ad-
equate substitute for previous
police practices.
The Commissioners said they
also wanted 10 give police time

to Arlington and It combines
the features Of the best sched-
ules I know Of" said Dean
Chase.
The Arlington plan seeks to
solve so many Of the problems
common to suburban school
systems that 1t now is being
studied in New York, California
and New England, and is being
discussed by educators in other
sections Of the country.
VIII Lead Suburbs
With its adoption, Arlington
expects to gain undisputed emf
nence in the Washington sub
urbs where schools increasing
ly are regarded as the most
important status symbol.
Even II budgets now pro-
posed by all other school sys-
TENS are adopted without dele
tons. the Arlington scales still
will be appreciably higher.
For instance, the highest
scales for a teacher with a
MA. degree and the maximum
experience in the various ju-
risdictions will be: Arlington
$12, 900: Montgomery $l0,575;
Washington $9,420: Fairfax
$8,750; Prince Georges $500,
and Alexandria $500.
According to data provided
by each of the systems, per pu-
pill expenditures next year ex-
elusive Of construction costs
and debt service win be: Ar
lington $685.: MONTGOMERY
$500; Washington SAB; Fair
fax SAL: Prince Georges $3.50,
and Alexandria $423.
These figures assume that
requested budgets will not be
slashed. Arlington's will not
be reduced by more than about
100000, but others are likely
to be reduced much more.

ROBBED AND ATTACKED
Girl, II, to Testify
Despite 2 Beotings

BALTIMORE, Mar. % CAP.
Frances Dixon, a pretty, H.
year-old Baltimore girl, de-
clared steadfastly today that
she will testify in a court case
against two girls charged with
assault and larceny.
II will testify as long as my
Daddy is with me-" the pert
little Brunette said.
Less than "a hours before, as
shhe was on her way to pick up
her eight-year-old brother
from q school, a group of teen
age boys attacked her with
broken soft drink bottles,
knocked her to the ground and
kicked her. She told police one
boy held her shoulder, another
her feet and a third her hair
while others administered the
kicking.
Another youth stood idly by
laughing. Frances told police,
and said:
"I'm the brother Of the girl
who stole the radio. If this
doesn't teach you q lesson,
the next one will"
Stolen Radio Involved
The q ssault ad larceny
charges against a IA and Is
year-old girl stemmed from the
theft Of a transistor radio a
month ago. Two girls knocked
Frances to the ground as she
was playing and stole the radio
from her. They are due for a
juvenile hearing Thursday.
Frances said she told the
boys, "You better turn me
loose. because If no police come
Tor you, my Daddy Will"
The beating lasted is or 20
minutes, Frances said, and
when she finally was freed, she
ran to her brothers school and
into the office Of Miss Martha
A. Bennett, the principal.
Miss Bennett advised Fran
ces to return home and have
her father notify police, but
as the girl started home, the
boys again intercepted her,
knocked her down and beat her.
Threaten New Attack
She said the leader Of the
group told her, Il think you've
learned your lesson. But don't
tell the police or your father
or we'll be back"
As she ran home, Frances
saw her father driving in q
neighbours car. She said she

screamed and he stopped, but
even as she pounded on the
car window. he didn't recog-
nize her for the blood that
Streamed down her face.
II knew it was my daugh-
ter" William Dixon said later,
but I couldn't bring myself to
believe it. I thought she had
been hit by a car"
AS police secured the neigh
borhood for the youths, Fran
ces said she was afraid to go
to school Monday.
But I'm still going to tes-
tify," she said.

:. Arlington now has moved
out into the front position with
the number one salary schedule
In the country. / think 1t Is
a real harbinger Of a strong
national movement to recognize
and reward excellence in teach
Ing" Dean Chase said.
viii Attract Talent
"The prospect Of Arlington's
taking away the most able and
creative people will alarm the
other better systems and lead
them to take counter measures
The net effect Of this will be
to bring into teaching more
gifted people"
At the same time, local school
superintendents agreed that
none of the other communities
in. the Washington area will
escape repercussions Of the
Arlington pay plan.
c. Taylor Whittier Of Mont
gomery County described it o
Significant bre a k through
which will put Arlington in 9
favored position" in the In
tensifying competition for out
standing instructors.
John C. Albohm Of Alex
andria said, "It certainly will
tend TO raise salary levels Of
the entire Metropolitan area
Others Mo Suffer
Fairfax Supt. Earl Funder-
burk expressed fear that Ar
hngton will be able to lure
away top teachers who have
obtained their initial expert
ence in Fairfax County.
This will affect all Of us in
the Washington area. I'm con-
WINGED that q plan like this Is
going to prod our people into
recognition that we must do
something for the career
people and outstanding teach
ers," said William Schmidt OF
Prince Georges County.
District Supt. Carl F. Han
sen commented: "This OF
course will require all Of us
70 take another look at our
salary scales and obviously II
Will put us at a disadvantage,
I think Arlington, so far as
money is concerned, will be
able to attract people from any
part Of the country"
Three Scales Established
! Arlington is establishing
three separate salary scales
which win offer higher reward;
TO career teachers and those
who demonstrate unusual ex-
scellence.
The basic one ranges from
$4,000 to $500: the career
sscale from $1,000 to $4,000;
and the highest or "distin-
!: guished" scale from $S.400 to
: $14.400.

than one step a year and the
administration will have con-
Siderable latitude in placing

TENS on the particular step Il

have been set at 18 cents per
bushel on corn, 16 cents per
bushel on grain sorghum, and
IA cents per bushel on barley.
Unlike the regular price-support
loan, the rates for the price,
support payments will be the
same throughout the country; they
will not vary by counties.
Also, this year, the price
support loans or purchase agree
ments will be available to pro-
gram participants on the entire
