Breakdown of Figures As originally adopted, top salaries for teachers with master’s degrees would have been limited

to $4800 for the 1951-52 school

vear, with the maximum after four years set at $5100. Teachers with bachelor’s degrees for 1951-52 would have been limited in 1951-52 to a top of $4350, with the eventual peak of $4700. Each of those grades would have received a $200 increase Jan. 1. > The amended proposal will grant them $300 in the first raise, ! nowever, ‘and the effective date has been szet Aug. 27 instead of Jan. 1. Shifting of the starting date is contingent upon state distribution of some $300,000 in school aid funds, Dr. Shibler said. Should the distribution he delayed, the raises cannot be made effective until January. He added the anticipated funds are part of about $58 million to be distributed to schools through-

out the state.

Applies to Low Grades

If the plan is successfully executed, teachers now in the top! brackets will reach new -maximum in 1953 rather than in 1954, Dr. Shibler said. He -sdded that the $300 raise in the new school year also applies to the minimum grades, Reinstated, as another point of concession by the hoard, was the “equivalency” provision®s of former contracts, It was dropped in the pay scale resolution of Apr. 24. Dr. Shibler said ‘he ‘“equivalency” provisions in. the new schedule will apply only to those teachers now employed by the system under such a classification. He said there are less than 100 of them. Many Hold Degrees Many are instructors in the vocational classes. Others hold degrees, but not in education. Under the Apr. 24 resolution. they were limited in the amount of raises they could receive and it was less than for nther grades. New starting ‘rates for instructors with master's. degrees will be $3100, as compared to the $2800 now paid, and bachelor’s! degrees will bring $2900 instead of $2600 to start. The board is expected to take official action on the revised proposal at its regular meeting tonight.

By JOSEPH ALLISON “If Syria fails to heed United Nations armistice orders, Israel will take the law. into its own hands.” : So Israel's finance minister, Eliezer Kaplan, warned here today. Mr. Kaplan, in Indianapolis to support-Israel's drive to sell-$500 million in bonds, declared the Israel-Syria fighting is not a war. ‘Wants to Create Stir’ i “Syria is trying to attract attention. She wants to create a new stir in the United Nations. And she wants ahove all to do everything possible to halt Is-

to reclaim Israel and are fighting on three fronts to get it, Mr. Kaplan said.

‘Only Skirmishes’ The actual battle where bullets

are exchanged Mr. Kaplan said

wag “nothing.” “Only skirmishes,” he said.

The real battle is on the fields of politics and economics, he emphasized. “The Near East nations hope Israel will collapse under its heavy economic load of development and immigration expense." “In addition, they hope enough political strife in the Near East will cause a reopening of the dispute on Israel's independence,” Mr. Kaplan said. “Our goal is to become economically strong enough that our neighbors will be forced to accept and live with the existence of a permanent Jewish state” he said. Fighting Over Swamp The present fighting between Israel and Syria, Mr. Kaplan said, is linked to a 25,000-acre swampland called the “Chulah.” This he described as a swampland which Israel wants to drain and develop. Syria, he said, is trying to block that action as part of its battle against Israel's financial growth.
