House Unit Approves
Pay Increases for
Police and Firemen
Schultz Takes Steps to
Bring Measure to
Floor Next Monday

An effort by District police and
flremen to have their pay increased
about $500 year was given the first
congressional Endorsement late yes
terday by the Police and Fire Sub
committee of the House District
Committee.
The subcommittee, headed by
Representative Schultz, Democrat,
of Indiana ordered favorable re-
port on a bill sponsored by him to
raise the pay of the police and fire
men and Immediately took steps to
get full committee approval so 1t
can be placed on the House calendar
and called up for consideration
Monday. the next District Day.
Adoption of the increased pay
scale, according 10 data compiled by
attaches in the offices of the Dis
trict auditor. would add about ST.
100000 a year to the local budget.
A hearing was held on Mr..
SChulte's bill last week, and there
was no definite opposition to the
proposal to raise the pay. of the
police and firemen. Rufus S. LuSk
of the Washington Taxpayers Asso-
ciation however. asked the question:
Where are We going to get the
money!"
The Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee
OF the District Committee is count
ing on the House to pass Monday
the Senate-apployed Overton bill
for fixing the amount of the annual
Federal payment toward municipal
expenses. 1t has been estimated that
adoption of the formula contained
in the OvertOn pill would raise the
present S60000O0 Federal share TO
approximately 100000 in the COM
ing fiscal year beginning July l and
give the District about S3000000
more in revenue to help meet the
emergency situation resulting from
the influx here Of thousands of ma
.ional defense workers.

London Market
Regoins Some
|Of Losses
= the Associated Press.


LONDON, March 3.-The stock
market made a gesture toward re-
capturing its equilibrium after early
hesitation today. Week end devel-
opments in the Balkans proved dis
turbing to traders at the outset and
small offerings found a scarcity of
takers except at concessions.
AS the session developed, however,
selling pressure subsidized and mod
crate recovery ruled in most groups
at the close.
In the gilt-edged section, prices
were on the average 1-16 to 70 of a
point higher. Industrials were well
maintained except among tobacco
and brewery issues, most of which
tended lower on prospects of higher
taxes and operating costs.
Home rails found support on the
decline Kafflrs, however, ended al
about the days lows, having failed
to uncover any worthwhile buying

up. Some merchandisers, inciden-
tally, are expressing this probably
in their sales talks. They point out,
fairly enough, that cars are not
going to be cheaper at any time this
year.
Used cars, according to advices
from the field to home officers here,
continue5to move in steady volume
at most centers. The accumulation
is high in some localities, but gen.
orally the reports indicated a steady
demand for one and two year old
models. There have been relatively
few reports of exorbitant trade-in
allowances, a practice usually aSso-
ciated with any period of high
volume output.

As March Opens
February Production
Estimated at $4,000
Cars and Trucks
BY DAVID J. WILLKIE,
Associated Press Automotiye Editol

DETROIT, March 3. - Having
produced approximately $4,000 new
passenger cars and trucks last
month, the motorcar industry's as
sembly plants swung on today to
maintain the high level of output
as long as men and material con-
tinue available.
The February volume established
a new record for that month. Pre-
viously the $4,000 vehicles manu-
factured in February, 1929, had been
the high mark for the second month
of the year.
Barring major labor troubles and
possible sudden curtailment of
available materials, the March pro-
duction volume probably will equal
that of February. 1t is hardly like
ly, however, to set up a new March
record, inasmuch as the 1929 volume
for that month reached 676O76
| units.
Substitutes Studied.
The car manufacturers are con-
cerned right now with the posi-
bility that changes to alternate ma
terials may be required earlier than
had been expected. Already the
production division Of the industry
is moving to replace aluminium
parts with other metals. Several
other metals normally used in pas
senger car ouput also will have to
be diverted to national defense re-
quirementS.
If much is done along this line
during the current month some
slowing down of the assembly lines
may be expected while the changes
in manufacturing processes are be-
ing completed.
On the basis Of retail demand,
however, there is nothing imme-
diately ahead to suggest a material
curtailment of output, despite the
fairly large reserve stock of new
units already stored up. Retail
sales, although definite figures have
not been made public recently by
the major companies, are known to
have held at a level considerably
higher than at any like period in
more than a decade.
Higher Prices Feared.
Retailers as well as manufacturers
agree that much of the demand now
manifest is based on the conviction
that retail prices are bound to go

BALTIMORE, March 3.-Newly
initiated work placed under con-
tract in Southern States construc-
ton in February totaled $195 $780,
900, a 38 per cent increase over jan
uary, the Manufacturers Record
said today.
OF this, it reported, IA per cent
represented industrial expansion
and substantial increase in
privately financed building This
is an upsurge of remarkable pro-
portions and surpasses the record
for industrial and private financed
building work over long period" "
Contracts awarded in the two
months this year totaled 1887 ,597, =
900, nearly three times the $124,-
$4,000 valuation in the first two
months of "the all-time banner
year of 1910"
The record added:
"A highlight survey of the indus
tries mainly responsible for the huge
industrial contract total shows great
shipyards being established on both
the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts,
steel plants expanding to handle
requirements of both these ship
building activities and of tremend-
ously increased construction for de-
fense, a rolling mill for aluminium
to supply rising aircraft production,
power stations to generate electricity
to run the myriads of machines
operating night and day under the
'al]-out' program"
In February, the report continued,
private building more than doubled
with a valuation of $18,522,000 rep
resenting "the highest point reached
since last April"
Road contracts totaled 11,520,000

 The hides have high value tc the Indian moccasin workers and can readily be used by the chil- dren in the native schools in Ju- neau and Douglas, it was pointed out. The. organization asks that hunters prevent the waste of this valuable material by turning it over to the AWVS.

Fletcher Should Like
 World Series; He Has
 Drawn Bonuses for 1 1

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The guy who has drawn down the biggest wad of World Series bonus checks is neither a slugging star nor a pitching master. He's baseball veteran whose life batting average was only PIT.
 He's Arthur Fletcher, the Yan- kee coach.
 Babe Ruth, Al Simmons and the late Lou Gehrig banked plenty Of moo from their shares of the win ming teams swag in the fall classic but none of them endorsed as many checks as Fletcher. Art has collect- ed well over $50.0OO from these interleague championship games. He got a slice of four melons while playing with the New York Giants in 19l1-12-13-l7 and has participated in the cut-up with the Yankees as coach in l927-28-32- 36-37- -38-39.
 On October l when the McCar- thymen tackle the National Leag- uers in Yankee Stadium Fletcher will begin earning his 18th post season bonus. Fletcher broke in with the Gi- ants as a shortstop in 1909, was traded to Philadelphia in 1920 for Dave Bancroft and managed the Phillies from 1923 to 1926. He came to the Tanks in 1927. Art is known as one of the ;martest third base coaches in baseball. And that's tough spot, for many games are won or lost because of an overcautious or too daring signaler to speedy base runners.
 Fletcher is also known as just about the toughest riding jockey in the American League. Many Yankee rivals have had their poise and confidence jolted by his loud gibes.
 Many baseball men figure Flet- cher has been shrewd in refusing managerial offers in the last de- ,ade. Only two years after he be- anne Yankee coach, Manager Mil CT Huggins died and Fletcher was
 
 in line for the job. He turned it town because he reasoned that the man who succee eded Higgins wouldn't last, that he would con- stantly be compared to Hug. Bob Shawkey took the job but next season Joe Mccarthy was hired Art has reportedly refused other head man jobs.
 He is content to remain a No. P man, draw a good salary-and keep banking those World Series checks.
