P2WE THREE as a substitute for the long :;talled state income tax. In another prime development tied in closely with the tax dead lock, the Senate Education Com mittee released legislation t o grant' the State's 60,000 school teachers a' $46,000,000 salary in crease. ,The -legislation, passed by the House earlier in the session, would grant immediate • $4OO cost-of living bcosts and increase present minimum and maximum salary levels with jumps of $2OO each year starting in 1952.

The substitute pro grams followed refusal of eleven Republican Senators to support the income levy after it passed the House.
