MAERTZ INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 23. floor fight over a minimum teacher salary measure faced members of the Indiana Senate today as they returned to business after a long weekend among their constituents. Both Democrat and Republican leaders in the upper chamber indicated the expected fight over Senate Bill 26 would cross party lines.

They said the bill probably would pass, but not before some hot words were voiced over its merits. The measure was introduced 13 days ago by Sens. Chester Watson (D-Fort Wayne) and John Shawley (R-La Porte). It gained the approval of the Senate Education Comimttee and passed second reading with little comment. But opposition to the measure has been building up, partly because no one seems to know what it eventually will cost the taxpayer.

Cost $17 Million. Sen. D. Russell Bontrager (R- Elkhart) said one estimate was that it would add $17 million to the record biennial budget. The bill would raise the minimum salary by $900 a year, effective next Jan.

1 Maximum salary ranges would rise from $900 to $1.400 a year, depending on the experience of the teacher. The measure was eligible for final passage last Thursday. But it was held back because of a ATHENS Greece. Jan 23 gentleman agreement in U. S.
