HIGHER SAI AHI FOR TEACHERS — Indiana School Teachers Will Receive Raises In 1936-37 1 Indianapolis, Ind., March 13 — (UP) —Salary increases for approximately 20.000 school teachers in Indiana starting with tike 1936-37 school y-rnr are assured under a bill passed by the state legislature. The salary increase provision was written in as an amendment to a measure designed to extend the 1933 salary reduction net. Introduced by Rep. James V. • Kent., D. Willisburg, the measure was radically revised when it . reached the senate. As finally pass- , ed the bill restores the eliding scale of teacher pay which is effect prior Ito 1933. 'I The senate education committee. I which wrote in the amendment, esi timated the total salary increases ■ would be $400,000. 1 The measure provides minimum ' sa’aries of $960 for an eight months school and SI,OBO for a nine months school in the elementary school division. and SI,OBO for eighteenths and $1,215 for nine-months terms in the higih school division. The bill also provides additional salaries for teachers who receive ' extra training on a basis of $2.50 increase irer month each year up to and Including five years. In making the amendments, the senate education committee recommended that the salary restoration I be delayed until 1936 since all school ibudgets have been made for the 1935-36 school year, and would j ■ be disrupted by the added financial burdens. SENATE BEATS CONTINUED FROM PAOE ONE measure, would be reached. Senators who have used every ■ conceivable strategy in dealing ' with Huev tried a new stunt yes- ■ terday. When he arose to talk all the Democrats except Carter Glass of Virginia left their seats and trooped to the cloakrooms. They returned to the chamber only when Long had finished his ■ speech. Whether the maneuver had II been decided upon in advance as • | part of a plan to ignore the kingI-' fish, was not made known. If so, it had little effect, for the public

galleries were crowded and reporters in the press gallery were sending accounts of Long activities to their papers. Whether administration leaders have decided to ignore Long or fight back at him. the fact remains that they are watching every move he makes. o .
