Teacher Shortage:

Association Chief

Lists Defiiciencies

Shortage of trained elementary school teachers is the basic problem in the Hoosier public school system, R. E. Hood, Indiana State Teachers’ Association’ presidentelect, told The Times yesterday. A Benton County school principal, Mr. Hood said the influx of children into the schools In the post-war period when teachers’ salaries can't compete with those offered by industry has made the teacher shortage serious. He said the shortage was particularly acute in township schools ‘where salaries are lower than those offered in cities. The Hoosier educator sald reports of the Indiana School Study Commission would point up these deficiencies. These said, would determine in large measure policies of the Teachers’ Association next year.

Dealers Protest City Tire Buying

Sanitation Dept.

Purchases Criticized

Awarding of tire contracts by the City, in which previous low bidders were not invited to submit prices, drew fire from tire dealers yesterday. The Sanitation Department last week awarded the Rose Tire Co. a contract for $344.30 worth of tires to be purchased during the last three months of this year, The request bids specified “first grade tires’ and tubes equivalent to Goodyear, Goodrich, Firestone, Miller, U. 8. Royal and General.” Only distributors of these tires were invited to bid. 3 Low Bidders Left Out

Excluded were three of the four low bidders on contracts awarded last spring. A City official said they were excluded because they did not sell “first grade tires.” But all three of the “uninvited” contended today their tires are equal to the so-called “first grade” tires specified in the bids. However, each indicated unwillingness to make an issue of the controversy for fear it would be held against them when a larger order comes up. When asked why the firms were not invited to bid, Albert Losche, purchasing agent, said: “We've got to pass the business around. These big companies haven't been getting any business, The big companies told us if we were going to continue buying low-priced tires they would submit bids on their second line.or lower-grade tires. weren't required to ask for bids on these tires. because the total amount of the contract is under

The clerk, Herman McCord, 62, of 2764 Roosevelt Ave, was taken to General Hospital for treatment after the robber’s blow cut a two-inch-long gash on his head. Of the money taken, $420 twas from Mr. McCord's wallet,
