And State Area News (12) Evening Times, Thursday, December 29, 1955 Teacher Pay Increase May Be Considered CHARLESTON, W. Va. now appears the West. Virginia Legislature will have a go-aheac from Gov. Marland to, take up teachers' salaries and turnpike ex tension when it meets next month That was the way it looked late yesterday, despite the uninforma- live comments of i.he governor and legislative leaders with whom he met for an hour and a half.

After the meeting, Senate Presi dent Bean and House Speaker Flannery said the governor would issue a statement, probably this afternoon. They said the statement, would reveal whether the governor will include the subjects of teachers' salaries and turnpike extension in his call for the session which convenes Jan. 11. Beyond that, they would not elaborate. However, a source in a positio to be informed said the governor' call'is going to open the door fo consideration of teacher pay an.

turnpike legislation. The 1956 session will be the firs under the amendment which wa ratified last year. The amend ment provides for budget session in even-numbered years, in ac to the general sessions -tha have long been held in the ode numbered years. Under the amendment, there ar 'only two ways'an even-year ses sion can 'lake up legislative busi ness other than the annual stat budget. One is inclusion of other matter in the governor's call.

The othe is adoption by both'houses of resolution setting forth other busi ness, but such a resolution re quires approval by a two-third vote of the elected 'members both to obtain The conference with Ihe governo was preceded by separate meet ings of the Senate- and Rules Committee, headed by Beai and Flannery, respectively. Then a joint subcommittee both groups went downstairs to meet with Marland. In addition to the presiding officers, the sub committee included Majority er Amos (D-Kanawha), Minority Leader Stemple (R-Barbour) and Finance Chairman Jackson (D Logan) from the.Senate and Majority Leader Bowles (D-Kanawha). Minority Leader Underwooc (R-Tyler) and Finance Chairman Loop 1 (D-Kanawha) from the House. Neither Rules any recommendations as to what it would like the governor to include in his call.

Several members said they thought it was up to the governor to take the lead, rather than be asked by the law makers to include certain subjects. In addition, Bean said he did not think Ihe Senate Rules Committee could legally adopt a motion deal ing with a request to Ihe governor at a time when Ihe Legislature was not in session.
