TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR in


this column yesterday stated that
it officially endorsed the slate of
the Citizens and Taxpayers Com
mittee. If this were so this col
iumn would grossly be playing poll
tics; and this is not so. Politics
in the present city election for the
first time shows the entry of the
winter visitor group asking for
representation. AS this column
understands it the winter visitors
are asking for Key Wester candi-
dates from the city at large. This
column thinks this is reasonable
and endorses the idea that the
ideas of both winter visitors and
Key Westers will mingle in our
city government The entry of
this new group has naturally call
ed Tor opposition. Because the
ruling group here will be the ma
jority of councilmen. Assyet, the
city at large is not willing to give
this majority to a winter visitor
political group, but many groups
are considering voting for one or
more of their candidates. AS far
as giving majority political power
to the visitors (Which a minority
of 1.-The winter visitors group
wants) or to the ruling Key West
govefhing group, this column has
no comment. Representation,
however, is another thing.

The Agriculture Department for
eign service reported yesterday that
annexation of Austria and Sudeten-
land seemed likely to hamper Ger
manys effort to attain self-suf-
f1ciency in production Of food sup
plies for the enlarged Reich.
A report from the services Berlin
Office said Germany had an adequate
supply of grains, potatoes and sugar
for the current season. but that
supplies of fats. meat, eggs. fruits
and vegetables we're below require
ments. 1t added that food ration
ing in Germany had been intensified
in recent weeks.
The service said the general vol
ume of agricultural production had
increased about 7 per cent since
1888, and that a further increase
was expected this summer.
1T appears, however, that increas-
ing consumptive requirements are
keeping pace with production,' the
Berlin report stated. THE annex

both being areas more deficient

Taxpayers Group
Opposes Five-Day
Week for Firemen
Among Highest Paid
District Employees,
Association Says

The Washington Taxpayers As
sociation came out last night against
a fve-day week for flremen be-
cause. the association declared,
they are among the best paid, best
pensioned and best cared for en-
ployes of the District"
The short week proposed for the
firemen In a bill now on the House
calendar, the association said, would
add around $450,O0O to the District S
already unbalanced budget. 'It
would be unfair to both taxpayers
and other employees to add this
expense" the association said.
Its position was based on an
analysis of pay, pensions. hours Of
work, vacations and sick leave of
f1remen in the District in COMPARE
son with conditions for f1remen in
Al cities of over 100000 population,
which, the association said, shows
clearly our local men are among
the best treated in the United
States"
This comparison of conditions in
these other 40 cities shows, how
ever, that only seven pay higher
salaries. New York and Jersey City
pays $1,000 compared to Washing
tons $2,400. The other five cities
$40 to $l20 more annually.
No city has a flve-day week as
proposed for Washington firemen
and only eight have six-day week
as here.
Washington firemen were said to
get the longest vacations with pay,
26 days, and only eight cities pay
a larger pension than so per cent
Of pay at time of retiring, which
local flremen receive.
Sixteen cities, however, pay more
to widows of deceased firemen than
the $720 annually paid here
The bill for five-day week is
scheduled to be called up on the
floor of the House at the next Dis
trict day, March 13.
