4 SAVED AS BOMBER | ANDS IN HEAVY SEA

NEW YORK, April 1 (U. P).— Four seamen owed their lives today to American navy fliers who landed a big bomber at night on a sea so rough it broke the seam of a pontoon. One of the survivors said the small Canadian freighter struck a mine or was torpedoed on the night of Feb. 23.

TEACHERS ASK INCREASES

Requests for $100 to $400 | Boosts Based on High

Living Costs. Proposals to raise city school [teachers’ salaries $100 to $400 a

|vear have been placed before the

| school board by the Federation of | Indianapolis Public School Teach|ers and the Indianapolis Teachers’

union. The proposal of the federation places emphasis on lower and mid dle income groups, with increases {of $100 to $175 for teachers in the |$1250 to $1750 salary group, based lon training and experience. Average increases of $200 were proposed for teachers in the $1700 to $2500 salary bracket. | This proposal was announced ‘yesterday by Howard T. Wood, president of the federation and ex-of-ficio member of the salary committee. Ray Hornaday is chairman of the salary committee and Miss Mary E. Ronk is chairman of the public contacts group of the committee. Teachers who now receive a salary of $2500 and above would be given an increase of from $100 to $175. depending on ability, training ana experience, Mr. Wood said.

Asks Boosts Up to $400

Under the proposal it was estimated the lump increase would approximate $201,250, or an additional tax levy of approximately 56 cents on the same tax bases of $521.647,050. The Indianapolis Teachers’ union submitted a plan to the school board last night asking increases of from $200 to $400 annually for each teacher to take effect with the 19421943 school year. Al J. Kettler, chairman of the union's salary committee and English instructor at Shortridge high school, said the proposal envisions an adjustment of $200 for each teacher to compensate for the reported 10 per cent increase in the cost of living.

also calls for an increase in the basic salary schedule now in effect.

Calls for Budget Boost

This proposal. as estimated by J. C. Harger, executive secretary of the union and commercial instructor at Technical high school, would call for an increase of $400,000 to $500,000 in the school budget annually. The federation’s salary committee explained that their proposal had been made following a study of living costs and the relative pay of city teachers, In summarizing the study, the federation’s committee pointed out: “The belief of the committee is

nado, Cal. Mrs. Ann Hourigan.|that as much as is practical and

satisfactory of the plan of the last three years should be maintained for the year 1943. The teachers view with approval the tendency to

|stablize the plan for annual salary | increases.

Pay Doesn't Meet Costs

"The salary scale used during the last three years starts with a minimum salary of $1250 and progresses with $50 and $75 increases to 81700, where a group of eight increments at $100 each begin. Within the last year, the rapidly increasing economic costs cause this scale to suffer in comparison. The annual increase in pay does not keep pace with increased costs of living. Consequently, the committee feels that the lower part of the present scale should be accelerated.” Members of the federation's salary committee met with the taxation committee of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce yesterday. The majority of the chamber committee members were of the opinfon that teachers were entitled to the increase if the advance could be made without boosting taxes.

Called Morale Booster

Miss Ronk asserted that the “morale of teachers, so vitally important at this time, can best be maintained by a fair, reasonable and equitable adjustment in salaries.” James W. Noel. member of the chamber committee, said there is no question that teachers ought to be paid better, but the question is how. Mr. Wood pointed out that in 11932-33. an average reduction of 22 per cent was made in teachers salaries; and that only last January ‘vere the reductions reinstated fully.

LEFT TURN ON HONOR SYSTEM

Bawling Out Worst That Can Happen to Driver For Violation.

Motorists, who are always facing stickers and warrants for every

traffic mistake, will be glad to hear that they've been put strictly on their honor in obeying the latest traffic ordinance—the new left turn regulation. The worst that can happen to you for failing to execute the new left turn correctly 1s a polite “bawling out.” The left turn ordinance, providing that turns be made to the left of the center of the street intersection instead of around to the right of it, has been in effect since it was passed by the city council several weeks ago.

Points to State Law However, Police Chief Morrissey said no arests will be made for violating the ordinance, hinting his belief that such cases couldn't stand a legal test in the courts. “The state law does not prohibit turning left around to the right of the center of the street nor does it require turning left of the center. , . . in other words so far as the state law reads, motorists can turn either way so long as they enter and leave an intersection to the right of the center line,” the chief said. However, he said an effort will be made to educate motorists to turn left of the center as a means of eliminating the present congestion resulting from strings of cars becoming locked in turning to the right of center.

Streets to Be Marked

The left turn ordinance was passed upon recommendation of City Traffic Engineer James BE. Loer, who said the left-of-center turning has proved beneficial in many other large cities. Chief Mossissey said most motorists will gradually become accustomed to the short cut left turn after the streets at busy intersections are marked off for the proper turning. i These left turn lanes, guiding mo- | torists to the left of the center, are | expected to be painted on several heavy traffic intersections within a few weeks.

GIVIL SERVICE CALLS WOMEN T0 NEW JOBS

PROFESSOR, 32,

Chicago U. Chemist to Get Award for Research in Carbon Dioxide.

A 32-year-old associate professor at the University of Chicago today was designated for the annual Eli

Lilly prize of $1000, awarded through the American Chemical society for outstanding research in biological chemistry. The professor, Dr. Earl A. Evihg Jr.,, did his research in the effects of carbon dioxide on the body. He was selected by a jury of three sci entists for findings which ‘revolutionize thinking about the role of carbon dioxide in the animal body.”

Recipient to Speak

The award will be presented to him April 20 by Prof. Harry N. Holmes, chemistry department head at Oberlin college, at the chemical society’s 103d meeting at Memphis, Tenn. Prof. Holmes is head of the society. By virtue of the award, Dr. Evans will deliver the Eli Lilly address be= fore the society’s biological division,

Regarded: as Waste

Heretofore thought solely a waste product of the body, carbon dioxide was proven by Dr. Evans to be utilized in several types of cells. He has shown that carbon dioxide plays a role in reactions in the liver during the oxidation of sugar. Established in 1934 by Eli Lilly & Co., the award is granted annually “to promote interest in fundamental research in biological chemistry and to recognize young men and women in a way which should mean much to the progress of this field in the United States.”
