west area mew: ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1976 ONE OF TWO SECTIONS 1-2W iv -rt rr' r-5f i Maplewood Vote Raises Salaries U. City hake-Up Involves Teachers, Others In Schools office immediately preceded the vote on Zuckerman. And the latter vote, like the remaining votes, revealed disagreement among board members. Richard H.

Palmer voted to retain Zuckerman. Palmer and board member Sheila Lumpe supported Lumm. And board president John Gianou-lakis opposed the others on Bonner. The minutes show further that the superintendent recommended the actions on the teachers, Miss Banks and Clark. The board acted on its own initiative on the personnel office, Zuckerman, Bonner and Lumm.

School officials refused to divulge the reasons why the administrators were fired. "I think it would be unethical for me to comment on personnel matters," Hopson said. "The minutes speak for themselves," said Gianoulakis. "I would prefer not saying anything I don't want to jeopardize my chances," Lumm told a reporter. He said that he hoped that the board would reverse itself and renew his contract.

That is what a majority of Hanley teachers apparently wants the board to do also. In the public portion of the March 18 meeting, more than 30 teachers from the school stood while others presented petitions calling on the board to reconsider and retain Lumm. A spokesman said See SHAKE-UP, Page 2W ment ot 6976. This would necessitate a loss of only about four teaching jobs, he said. But staff planning is complicated because enrollments will be up in some schools and down in others, and teaching jobs will have to be shifted accordingly, Hop-son said.

Another complication is a state law requiring the automatic rehiring of all teachers not notified to the contrary by April 15, Hopson said. While some of the 28 may have to be placed on notice as a precaution, most of the teachers would probably be rehired, the superintendent stated. "These are people we don't really want to get rid of," he said. Hopson also said that he had not realized that two-thirds of the teachers whose jobs are question were concentrated in the middle and junior high schools. This was probably because both schools are losing students and because both have unusually high numbers of temporary teachers replacing others on maternity leave, he said.

The March 4 minutes show that the board was unanimous in its separate decisions on Clark, Miss Banks and each teacher. Also unanimous was a board move to abolish the district's personnel office and transfer that department's functions to the curriculum office. The vote on the personnel retail sales of food and drugs. He said that the city payroll has increased by $200,000 in the four years since the council members took office. Hammes also opposed the inclusion of the police court judge and City Attorney Tony Eberwein in the cost of living increase as regular part-time employes of the city.

He charged that Eberwein "is already making 80 percent more right now than most of the city attorneys in St. Louis County." Eberwein asked the council exclude him from the 5 per cent increase. "I don't feel that I need it so much," Eberwein said, "but I would like to see the other regular part-time employes get their increase, such as the school crossing guards." Council members decided, however, that Eberwein should get the increase. Councilman David W. Grommet, leader of the opposition to Hammes, said that when the council asks for budget hearings, the mayor doesn't show up.

Hammes replied that the budget preparation was the mayor's job, and at the proper time he would submit his proposals to the council for their consideration. Hammes again was thwarted by the council in an attempt to replace Eberwein, whom he regards as a political opponent. The mayor tried introduce a resolution "terminating" Eberwein as of April 19 and appointing Donald B. Ketchum to take his place, at an annual salary of $7800. As usual, the motion died.

Hammes then refused to vote in favor of a $45 a month achievement bonus payment a Maplewood police officer who has completed 35 hours course work in the law enforcement program at Forest Park Community College. Hammes said he would not vote for any more bonuses until he has seen the certification from the school. WARM WEATHER RESUMPTION: Work has started again on an 800-foot vertical wall storm channel in University City. The $300,000 project, jointly financed by the state, University City and the Metropolitan Sewer District, was designed to control storm water overflow from the River Des Peres. Work is expected to be completed by mid-September.

(Post-Dispatch Photo by Lloyd Spainhower) Clayton Opposes Tax Limits The Maplewood City Council has authorized a 5 per cent cost of living increase (or all full-time and regular part-time city employes, effective April 5. Mayor Josef Hammes protested in vain against the action. 'Hammes said that salary proposals should be included id the preparation of the city budget for the coming fiscal year and not handled as a separate item in advance. Employe salaries must be balanced against other pressing needs, the mayor argued, when spending priorities are established for the year.

"1 don't think we should sacrifice capital improvements and our services on the street to our citizens, just to rush through a salary increase," the mayor said. "I think the council's action is premature." Hammes also said the city still did not know the fate of several important sources of revenue, such as federal revenue-sharing grants and city sales tax on The Fredericks Wed 50 Years Mr. and Mrs. Paul Freder-ich will observe their fiftieth wedding anniversary on Sunday with a family dinner party at their Webster Groves home. Before his retirement in 1967, Frederich was executive director of the Lutheran Layman's League.

Prior to that appointment, he served in various administrative positions with the Cranbrook Foundation in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. The Frederichs have two children and 11 grandchildren.

Residents will be able to use the lot free of charge at other times. James said the 28-space lot would be ready for use within a few days. The meters will be installed in the next few weeks, he said. The board also approved a contract with Jaffee Lighting and Supply Inc. to rent for $100 a month a storage area in the rear basement of a city-owned building at 31 North Meramec Avenue.

St. Louis. To replace the revenue lost through the elimination of the tax on drugs and the tax credit, Schneider's bill would allow a taxpayer a deduction of only 80 per cent of his federal income tax liability. It would also eliminate any deduction for federal corporate income taxes on Missouri corporation income tax returns. Schneider's bill has received the support of the Missouri Municipal League.

In other action, the board approved the installation of parking meters on the new municipal parking lot at Clay The University City School Board has moved not to rehire 28 teachers, two central office staff members, one assistant to the superintendent, and two principals for the 1976-1977 school year. Minutes of a March 4 board executive session, released this week, show that the board decided then not to renew the contracts of Clifford Lumm, principal of Han-ley Junior High School; Raymond H. Clark, principal of Nathaniel Hawthorne Elementary School; I. Zuckerman, assistant to the superintendent for personnel: Earl Bonner, director of inter-cultural education; Rose M. Banks, supervisor of humanities and ethnic studies, and 28 teachers, 20 of them from either Brittany Middle School or Hanley Junior High School.

But in a March 18 executive session, the board voted to rescind its action on Zuckerman, the Post-Dispatch has learned. The reversal will, however, not be official until minutes of that session are approved by the board at its next regular meeting April 1. Superintendent James A. Hopson said this week that the 28 teachers cited by the board on March 4 were merely those who did not yet fit into the district's still incomplete staffing plans for the coming year. Hopson explained that the district's enrollment next September is expected to be down about 100 students from the September, 1975, enroll ARTHUR MURRAY uue change people into coupled NEW STUDENT SPECIAL tos.

The threat of losing $250,000 in revenue has prompted the Clayton Board of Aldermen to oppose the elimination of a 3 per cent state sales tax on both food and drugs. The board decided instead to support a bill that would abolish a sales tax on drugs and establish a $14 credit for each taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse and each dependent as a reimbursement for the sales tax on food.

Mayor James C. Laflin, with the concurrence of the board, authorized the city clerk to send letters to each state senator in support of the bill, which is sponsored by Senator John D.
