During Easter week of $10 Million More Spending Now Proposed Columbia, Feb. 15 — Proposals for additional state spending of nearly 10 million dollars a year were both offered and advanced in the General Assembly today. Here’s how: 1. By increasing the state aid salary scale for school teachers 15 per cent, or $6,100,000, proposed in a new hous^ bill. 2. By aildwing school districts an estimated $2,700,000 for opera tion and maintenance of school properties throu^i a $6-a-year-a- pupil allocation for the purpose, proposed in a bill given a second Senate reading. 3. By extending federqj social security benefits to State Retire ment System members at an esti mated annual cost of $900,000, pro posed in companion Senate and House bills now two-thirds of the way toward enactment. 4. By doubling .legislative com pensation to $340,000 a year, pro posed in new House bill. Rep. Dixon, of Laurens, intro duced the bill to increase teacher pay. The measure automatically went to the Ways and Means com mittee, which already was looking for an additional four to five mil- tained to allow these bills to go on calendars without reference. (Thus they will be up for second readings tomorrow and are due for enactment Thursday. They will add about $900,000 a year to the state’s present $6,400,- 000 State Retirement System bill sa w«ai as 1 per cent of the present 4 per cent of salaries employes now contribute. The state system covers school teachers, county and many city employes. Rep. Harrell, of Florence, in troduced a ill to double legisla tor’s pay from the current $1,000 a session to $2,000 a year. The Ways and Means got this one, too. State Supreme Court review of all death sentence cases would be mandatory under a bill by Sen. Long, of Union, that the Senate sent to the House. The senators carried over bills to ban the sale of fireworks and to establish a safe driving point system, then sent the House a measure to repeal the 1947 State Government Reorganization Act. This act set up a joint commit tee of legislators and governors appointees to recommend legis lation reorganizing state govern ment. The State Budget and Con- troal Board was reorganized and a state purchasing agency was cre ated from its recommendations, but its other recommendations have met with failure. A concurrent resolution adopted asked Congress to extend the time in which drought-stricken South the last half to do it. Furman is considered stronger now and will have the advantage of playing be fore a home crowd, so the experts are giving a nod to the Greenville team. This final game before PC en ters next weeks little Four tour nament has aU the features of a headliner. Besides the state cham pionship riding at stake, it will i bring together two of the nation’s highest scoring teams and two top shooting individual marksmen. Furman currently leads the na tion’s major colleges with an of fensive mark of approximately 9J points-per-game, and Presbyterian ranks second among the bmall col lege leaders with an average of almost 90 points-per-game. Individually, the battle will pit Furman’s top-scoring Darrell r IUJU, w SMI o against PC’s Ron Ragan who ranks among the first ten with a 29-point average.
