military duty to the present bitches"
of all selectees, National Guardsmen,
Reserves and Regular Army en-
listed men. All are now subject to
only one years service. except the
Regulars, who sign up for three
years.
But before the measure passed at
the end of a stormy session lasting
more than six hours, the Senate
wrote in a provision that would give
all men win more than a years
service a S10-a-month pay boost.
This would have the effect of upping
the present base pay of a private
soldier to $40 month after the
first year.
Pay Boosts Cost Unknown.
Just how much this pay increase
would cost was something its spon-
sors did not profess to know, but
they asserted at once that it offered
an incentive for extra service which
would help smooth the rocky road
they expected the legislation to en-
counter in the House.
The Senate reached its decision
on the legislation after seven days
of debate. Shouts of vote" arose
frequently toward the end, but be-
fore the final ballot was reached ad-
ministration forces first had to beat
off a series of amendments that
started when Senator Downey,
Democrat, of California, proposed a
$50 a month bonus for Army, Navy
and Coast Guard personnel kept in
the ranks more than II months.
This amendment was scuttled in
a voice vote and a subsequent pro-
posal by Senator LANCER, Republi-
can, of Indiana for $l00-a-month
bonus lost the same way.
Administration leaders, who had
argued that pay increase proposals
ought to be handled in separate
legislation, had a scare when they
barely managed to defeat, 81 to 36

Nazis Killed Hundreds
OF Lwow Civilians,
Russians Charge
Soviet Terror Pictured
As Grand Fabrication Of
German Propaganda
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Aug. S.-RussIa de-
clared in a communique today that
the hundreds of civilians shot at
Lwow during the German advance
into Russian-annexed Poland were
the victims OF FASCIST terror not
of the Russians-and that they were
killed just after German occupation
Of the city.
The communnque, based in part
on purported stories of persons said
to have escaped from Lwow, pic
tured the story Of Russian terror at
Lwow. with the photos that illus
trated it, as a grand fabrication of
German propaganda to cover the
Germans own atrocities.
The communioue said the orgy Of
murder and rape was directed main
ly at members of trade unions,
workers in public services and Stalk
hanovites, factory employees prac-
ticing the Russian speed-up formula
1t identified the killers as German
soldiers. Storm Troopers and the
Gestapo.
The statement charged that the
German plan was deliberate exter-
mination of the captive civilian
population.
After mass killings, the commu-
nique said, the bodies were collected
and "Lwow residents under threat
of shooting were driven for inspec-
ton of the corpses which the Fas-
cists exhibited as victims of Boil
shevik terror"
German cinema operators and
photographers took photos of these
heaps of cofpses and fabricated
fakes about "Bolshevik atrocities,

raise pay without getting more
money
Senator Hill, Democrat. of Ala
bama protested against attempting
to readjust Army pay in the pend
ing legislation, but after the Sem
ate finally had approved the meas
ure he told reporters he thought 1t
was perfect" and had no objection
to inclusion of the Mead proposal.
Amendments Wording Criticized.
War Department officials said that
as closely as they could estimate this
would cover 300 900 men, not all of
whom yet have completed the IL
months service required before re-
ceiving the increase.
These officials said the wording
of the amendment as adopted was
such that it was possible the paw
boost might be retroactive, so that
regular enlisted man who had
spent 25 years in the Army might
draw the additional $40 a month as
back pay for "a years.
However, some War Department
attorneys indicated that such was
not the real intent of Senator Mead.
There were indications that the
amendment might be redrafted, if
not deleted altogether. in the House.
The pay increase was written into
the bill with SO little advance dis
cussion that there was no immediate
word as to the reaction of the War
and Treasury Departments.
1t was apparent, however, that it
would alter the Army's present
budget plans and necessitate an
additional appropriation if it should
become law.
Limit on Selectees Lifted.
The War Department reported
only yesterday that the expanding
Army now numbered 1881 300 Off
GERS and men, including 669 500 Sc
lective service trainees.
Assuming that /, 500, 900 men would
receive non-retroactive pay raises,
the cost would be $l5000,0 900 a
| month, or $50, ,000, 900 a year.
In the form finally approved by
the Senate, the complete legislation
also would lift the present limita-
tion of 100000 on the number of Sc
lectees that might be in training at
any one time.
Congress would retain the rightjo
1 extend the l8-mOnth service period
subsequently if it found such action
was necessary in the interest of
national defense.
The Secretary of War would be
empowered to release from service
men % years old or older, as well
as those whose retention would en-
tail undue hardship" Re-employ-
4 ment benefits would be extended to
all men covered by the measure.

port, which the Army now owns.
Both the President and the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, it is understood. have
recommended cutting in half the
dimensions of the proposed build
ing. Even If this were not done,
the site recommended by Mr.. Dow
ner would be large enough to ac-
Commodate a structure OF the orig
inal proportions. 1t embraces IL
more acres than the site selected by
the Army.
Prefers Rectangle Plan.
Although he said he considered
the site proposed by Mr., Downet
superior to the Army's. Mr.. Clarke
emphasized he still felt the proper
thing to do was to adhere 10 the
Northwest, rectangle plan. This
plan calls for the erection, among
other buildings, of large War De-
partment structure between Interior
Department edifces and the river.
The recently completed War De-
osrtment Building at Twenty-second
street and Virginia avenue NV. is
one unit of a projected building
many times its size.
Limestone is specified as the
building material for the rectangle
structures, and since it is not so
easily procured as cement and is
slower to work with. the Army con-
siders 1t inadvisable to wait in the
national emergency until its rec
tangle building can be brought TO
completion.
Mr.. Clarke said he thought this
objection could be voided by build
ing the rectangle War Department
structure with cement and later,
after the emergency, facing it over
with limestone to harmonic with
the rest of the project.

In another quarter an appeal to
preserve the orderly development
of the National Capital during this
period of emergency was sounded
by J. c. Nichols of Kansas City,
who has long been identified with
the city's development as men,
Der of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
In a telegram to The Star Mr..
Nichols explained that he is not
sufficiently familiar with the pro-
posed War Department building
plans for Arlington County to ex-
press an intelligent opinion on 1t.
He added, however, these words of
general advice on meeting the Gov
ernment's housing problems during
the emergency period:
ut is terribly important to pre-
serve the orderly development Of
the National Capital, not permit
ting its sacred governmental char
acter to be marred by hasty growth.
| believe 1t better for Washington
to decentralize some of the nom
defense activities rather than over
build the area, involving large un-
necessary expenditures for facilities
and utilities with disastrous results
after the emergency period. 1t is
important to preserve the integrity
of Washington plans"
Construction Bids Invited.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
the Public Buildings Administration
has gone ahead with the asking of
construction bids on three tempo
rary office buildings designed for
the experimental farm site chosen
by the Army for its gigantic War
Department edif1ce.
Two of the buildings are similar
to that being built on the Mall at
Third street and Independence ave-
nue. S.W. The third. slightly larger,
will house a cafeteria and heating
unit as well as Offices. Only bids
received thus far are one of S2.265. .
600, submitted by the William R.
Goss Co, Washington. and another
of s2096.600 by McCloskey & Co.,
Philadelphia.
P. B. A. officials said their going
ahead with bids on the ''tempos"
did not indicate abandonment of
the War Department project. ex-
planning that the business was un-
dertaken before the Army's scheme
came to light.
New Opposition Recorded.
Meanwhile, additional opposition
to the War Department structure
was furnished today by the National
Association of Building Owners and
Managers.
In letter to Chairman Adams OF
the Senate Appropriations Subcom-
mittee. the association declared it
was vigorously opposed" to erection
of the building until present in
vestigations are concluded and a

spect to making available additional

cies and bureaus to other parts of
