Afc least, one-half of the 12.657 elementary school teachers in Indiana probably will benefit under the salary adjustment scheduled to go into effect this fall, Floyd I. McMurray, state superintendent of public instruction, said today. The new teacher salary minimums. authorized by the 1935 Legislature, have been worked out, Mr. McMurray said, after receiving official opinions from the office of Atty. Gen. Philip Lutr Jr. and the State Accounts Board and from advice of a committee of superintencents and college representatives. They have been approved by the State Board of Education. Based on experience and amount nf professional training, the elementary teacher schedule begins at SIOO a month for teachers of no experience and with 72 weeks of professional training, and goes as high as $l2O a month for four years’ experience and 144 weeks of training. The ranges in this schedule are: No experience, SIOO to sllO a, month;: one year experience, $102.50 to $112.50; two years, $lO5 to $115; three years, $107.50 to $117.50; four years, sllO to $l2O. Previous Minimum SBOO Hitherto. Mr. McMurray said, the teacher salary minimum has been SBOO a year, regardless of the experience. He said he could not estimate the number of high school teachers who will be affected by the following schedule: No experience, minimum salary, $125 a month; one year experience. $127 50 a month; two years, $l3O a month; three years. $132.50 a month; four years, $135 a month. Mr. McMurray said the following regulations have been approved by the board: 1. The minimum salary a month for both elementary and high senool teachers with the increase of $2.50 a month for training and experience is applicable to each month's service regardless of the length of term. 15 Semester Hours Needed 2. Fifteen semester hours or 24 quarter hours of professional work successfully completed in an institution accredited by the State Board of Education may be used as equivalent to 18 weeks work as a basis for salary increase. ta Credit in non-prepared courses can not be applied. tb) Credit, for experience in change of licenses in 1923 can not be applied. <c) Credit that is acceptable on any teacher-t, raining curriculum may be applied. td) All credit which is used as a basis for the additional increment shall be certified t-0 the city, county or town superintendent by the institution in which the training has been taken and on a standard form provided for that purpose. No Fractional Parts 3. No fractional part of the 18 weeks training or its equivalent will justify a fractional part of the $2.50 increase. 4. The increase of $2.50 for training is not applicable to high school teachers. 5. Teaching experience and credit earned prior to the taking effect of this act are valid in determining Increases. 6. The employing officials should not, consummate contracts with teachers without a certified statement of their training and experience signed by the superintendent of the respective school corporation. This certificate should be attached to the teacher’s contract.

38 Bowes Employes Get $lO Bills From Firm Head ‘Spend It for Just What You Want,’ Corporation President Says as He Distributes Bonus. Thirty-eight, $lO bills were getting the cash-register gongs today, because employes of Bowes Sealfast Corp., 226 N. Pine-st. went on a spending spree.

And if the spenders are compelled to tell where they got new Easter clothes they'll explain that Robert M. Bowes, corporation head, was “Br’er Rabbit.” Calling his employes into his office, Mr. Bowes said “Maybe you think you have to be careful about spending money, but you don’t have to be about the $lO bill I’m going to give you. In fact, if you spend it for anything except what you have been wanting, your name is mud.” Mr. Bowes, who duplicated his pre-Easter feat last Christmas, denies being “big-hearted.” “If every one had a $lO bill to spend just think what it would mean,” he said.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

STATE BEGINS RECORD CLEAN STREAM DRIVE Sanitary Plants Planned Triple Those for Any Previous Year. (Continued From Page One) said, “and yet the large increase in the number of cities filing for funds this year undoubtedly was due to the effectiveness of the new law. “Because of the savings offered to municipalities, the department does not feel it proper to force a city to take immediate steps, as long as it is possible for them to receive Federal funds,” Mr. Frazier said. Tipton, Hartford City Cited “For this reason, only two official orders have been issued against city governments, namely Tipton and Hartford City. The latter order was issued because it was felt the Hartford City civil government was not showing the proper co-opera-tion.” In Mr. Frazier’s opinion, the attitude of large industrial concerns toward this law recently has changed. He said in almost every case they are in favor of construction of municipal sewage disposal plants even though it means increased taxes for them. Although the department has the legal power to force industrial concerns to stop pollution, he said, these steps were not taken when the financial strain involved would jeopardize the existence of a commercial enterprise. Correct disposal of waste material from canning factories, paper mills, coal mines and meat packing and dairy plants is very expensive, he said. Research work is being carried on throughout the country seeking to solve the pollution problems of these industries. Work on Eaton Problem “During the last two years, con - siderable work has been done toward solving the disposal of strawboard waste from the Ball Brothers’ factory at Eaton,” Mr. Frazier said. ‘Construction of a was started there recently, and while it is still in the experimental stage, we feel confident satisfactory results eventually will be obtained.” In order to expedite cleaning of Lick Creek, an order has been issued against the Fort Wayne Corrugated Paper Cos. at Hartford City, he said, although the plant has been improving its waste handling methods. The Container Corp. at Carthage also has made some improvements, he asserted. Lever Brothers Cos., whffch plans to construct a $6,000,000 soap factory in Hammond, recently entered into a contract with that city guaranteeing to take necessary steps to avoid pollution of the water supply, he said.

Others Are Co-operating Other organizations, Mr. Frazier said, wb.ch have been working with the department in the matter of waste disposal, are Central Sugar Beet Cos., Decatur; Prest-O-Lite Cos., Indianapolis, and KraftPhoenix Cheese Corp., which operates a number of plants. in the state. “We now are negotiating with the Indiana Canners’ Association to work out disposal problems for the industry which probably is the greatest contributor to the Indiana industrial pollution load,” he declared. “The department proposes to provide engineering service to canning factories, make suggestions and rough lay-outs for the handling of waste. The Indiana Renderer’s Association is interested in our activities.” In administering the law, Mr. Frazier said he constantly runs up against the problem of human selfishness. “People complain that their neighbors or competitors are polluting streams, forgetting all the while that they are guilty of the same offense. The problem even-* tualiy will be worked out. The law.” he added, “provides adequate penalties.” Visiter Robbed of SIOO Edward Stanfield, 59. of Lafayette, told police he was robbed of a purse containing SIOO early today while he was drinking beer with strangers in a tavern at 401 W. Washington-st. Police held a suspect on a vagrancy charge.

2 More Voters The Tenth Ward may have had a headache today from smoking campaign cigars, but the blame must be attached to two unregistered voters of the a 7-pound girl and the other an 8-pound boy. Frank E. McKinney, Democratic candidate to succeed himself as county treasurer, and Dr. E. R. Wilson, deputy coroner and candidate for county coroner, both announced their candidacies in the paternal derby at a meeting last night of the Tenth Ward Roosevelt Club, 2203 E. Michigan-st. A son, Robert McKinney, was born yesterday to Mr. and Mrs. McKinney at St. Vincent’s Hospital while Dr. Wilson, after passing his own paternal perfectoes. reported a girl born at Methodist Hospital, Wednesday. Both fathers and candidates reported, "We’re doing fine—in getting votes.”

COSTIGAN TO RETIRE

officii V * IsiP JR Jaß.

FAMED SENATOR IN POORHEALTH Liberals Mourn Retirement of Colleague; Colorado Race Wide Open. By Scrippt-Howard Ncucspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, April 10.—Voluntary retirement from the Senate at the end of his present term, abruptly announced last night by Senator Edward P. Costigan (D., Colo.), left Senate progressives stunned today and created a wide-open field in Colorado for candidates to succeed him. Senator Costigan left Washington March 31 under doctor’s orders to rest for two weeks or so from a bad cold and overwork. None of his colleagues was prepared for the sudden statement that he would not seek re-election. Mr. Costigan’s retirement will take from the Senate one of the most consistent and vigorous of progressives. By Senators like George W. Norris (R„ Neb.) and La Follette (Prog., Wis.) his withdrawal is regarded as a loss to the nation. In Colorado, his decision means a scramble for the Democratic nomination. Foremost among those now expected to announce is Ed C. Johnson, Democratic Governor. He has been an active opponent of the Costigan wing of the state organization. An advocate of the Townsend plan, he was opposed in the 1934 primaries by Miss Josephine Roche, now assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Speculation again centers on Miss Roche in view of the new development. It is believed more likely, however, that if any member of the Costigan forces seeks the nomination it will be Oscar Chapman, assistant Secretary of the Interior, on leave of absence in Colorado to organize the re-election campaign in that state of both Costigan and President Roosevelt. Mr. Chapman is the undisputed leader of Colorado's young Democratic progressives.

5451.713.358 IS HOOSIER RELIEF COSTSINCE '34 Federal Agency Officials Hear Reports of State Activities. The Federal government, in its fight against depression and unem* ployment, has placed $451,713,353 at the disposal of Indiana residents during the last two years, Clarence Manion. Indiana director of the National Emergency Council, told Federal agency directors at their coordination meeting today in the Claypool. Out of this sum. approximately $272,936 is to be repaid to the Federal government by self-liquidating projects, he asserted. The balance. Mr. Manion added, has been expended chiefly on work relief. Mr. Manion explained the work of the National Emergency Council in co-ordinating the activities of the various alphabet divisions. Division directors also had prepared reports on their work. Report on Work Progress Most of the reports explained the Federal government’s work in this state since last November, date of the last general meeting. In a report prepared for delivery this afternoon, Wayne Coy, Works Progress Administration director, pointed out that 4619 Indiana projects had received Federal approval, and $141,749,336 eventually was to be spent for this work. Fifty per cent of the work now in progress is for highways, roads and street repairs, he added. The next largest project group calls for work and repair of public buildings, including school houses. On March 4, the report continued, there were 85.611 WPa employes in Indiana. 81,955 of whom had been taken directly from relief rolls. The National Youth Administration now gives aid to 14,196. Sanitation Results Noted Mr. Coy's United States Public Health Service report pointed out that state health authorities have declared Indiana now has the lowest typhoid fever death rate in its history. “The community sanitation program is without doubt a contributing factor to this decrease,” he said. “The dairy industry is particularly interested in our efforts to establish sanitation facilities in rural districts.” Will H. Smith, internal revenue collector, reported that from July 1, 1934. to June 30, 1935, collections in Indiana totaled $64,113,362, as against $32,655,605 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1934. The State Planning Beard, working in co-operation with the National Resources Committee, is working for planned use of land in the state, Lawrence Sheridan, state consultant of the National Resources Committee, said.
