not required to make a direct per-
centage contribution.
Mark Lansburgh, local department
store owner, speaking for the National
Retail Dry Goods Association. was the
first witness, assuring the committee
that the association is in favor Of
enactment of such a program ma
tionally. AS amendments, however,
he proposed that the bill require en-
ploye contributions and that more
flexible scale of employer contributions
be devised.
Pointing out that some employers
do and will maintain more stabiliZa-
ton of employment, Mr.. LanSburgh
suggested that such employers event.
ually be allowed to make a lower per-
centage contribution. For instance, he
said. all employers might be required
to contribute 2 per cent of total pay
rolls for three years, while employees
contributed l per cent of their wages
and the local Government added l
per cent. At the end of this period,
however, he proposed that employer
contributions be determined by the
degree of Stabilization which they
have maintained in their business, the
range being from l per cent to 31a
per cent of their pay rolls.
The second witness was Robert J.
Cottrell, executive secretary of the
Washington Board of Trade. In ad-
dition to the same suggestion that
employees contribute directly to MAIN
tenance OF the program, Mr.. Cottrell
warned the committee that placing
an excessive tax on the employers
alone probably would result in their
cutting pay rolls sharply to balance
the new expense.
Mr.. Cottrell also urged that the bill
contain a figure as the maximum
amount of reserves allowable. With
this safeguard, he pointed out, a
check would be available against pill
ing up the fund to an unnecessarily
high total. The Board of Trade is
not officially on record with regard to
the bill. Cottrell told the committee,
his testimony being merely an ex-
preston of the feelings of some of its
members.
Rufus Lusk, secretary of the wash
1ngton Taxpayers Protective Associa-
ton, declared that no law should be
enacted for the District until national
legislation is in effect. Lusk then at
tackled the pending bill, section by
section.
There isn't cent available to pay
this required contribution by the Dis
trict," Lusk said, unless new or in
creased taxes are voted. This bill calls
for six or seven hundred thousand dol
lars for the District. If it was raised
by real estate taxation it would add
from IS to $40 year to the tax bill of
every home owner in the District. 1t
Is estimated that about 77,00O workers
would benefit from the plan. They are
the ones who should contribute"
Lusk Attacks Set-up.
The witness also attacked the pro-
posed administrative Set-up of the
law, saying 1--WE always get along
better here when our affairs are
administered by local people. This
law should be administered by local
citizens, residents here for at least
three years, appointed by the Com
missioners and not by a Federal
board"
The committee adjourned today be-
fore Lusk had completed his testi-
mony, but Chairman Ellenbogen asked
him and several others to return on
Thursday. With no sessions sched-
uled tomorrow the chairman said he
hoped to complete the hearings on

of correspondence course completion
in lieu of examination for promotions
in the Naval Reserve.
The circular states, in effect, the
department says, that the satisfactory
completion of the Naval Reserve cur
respondence course in engineering
may, under certain conditions, be ac-
cepted in lieu Of examination for pro-
motion in that subject. In certain in
stances this has been interpreted to
include examination in electrical en-
gineering, as well as marine engineer
ing. The provisions of this paragraph,
it was pointed out, do not excuse any
one from taking the examination in
electrical engineering.
In some cases, it was explained, the
Supervisory Examining Board has as
sumed the authority of excusing can
didates from taking examinations in
accordance with the instructions with
out first obtaining specific permission
from the Bureau of Navigation. Each
individual case must be considered by
the Naval Examining Board in WASH
ington and permission must be OBJ
tanned from the Bureau of Navigation
before candidate will be excused
from taking the examination.
Attention is further invited to the
fact that the instructions apply only
to examinations for promotion. 1t
does not apply to examinations for
original appointment or change in
classification. In all such cases where
examinations are required, candidates
must take examinations in all sub
jects, regardless of completion of cor
respondence courses.
