Teacher Pay Split Into Two Classes Under Nixon Freeze
Washington AP reports that 2.1 million teachers face two pay classes under Nixon's 90 day wage price freeze. Many will receive scheduled increases while hundreds of thousands will not, due to varying contracts and timing. The National Education Association claims 80 percent are eligible for raises, a figure officials privately doubt but won’t challenge publicly. Master contracts set before Aug. 15 likely yield raises for all under the systemwide plan, while teachers on individual contracts vary by district. If a teacher under a new or eligible pre Aug. 15 contract had begun work at the new rate, the raise is permissible.

Kansas to Add Mileage Based Interchange Numbers
Kansas Highway Director John D. Montgomery announced that mile age numbers will be installed at interstate interchanges to meet federal standards. The system, aligned with existing highway mile markers, will use nonconsecutive interchange numbers indicating distance from state borders, with letters in dense areas. Many signs will go up in the next two years, with full completion by 1977.
