Offlcials in the executive agencies

out today, but the measure still re-
tains the so-called average clause
which controls the extent to which
Increases may be, allowed
Under provision inserted for the
first time in the current appropria-
ton bills-fOr 194l. administrative
promotions were held to an amount
fixed by the Budget Bureau: this
restriction does not appear in the
independent Offices bill for 1912
however, and if custom is adhered
to, will be eliminated from all future
appropriations bills also. 1t will
have the effect of making available
for pay raises money that the
agencies are able to save in other
directions-by not filling vacancies,
for example
The elimination of this section
also will remove another restriction,
which denied pay raises this year to
employees receiving less than $4,000
annually if they had been promoted
within the last three years and to
those in the $4,000 bracket and up

Fuel Oil Prices Cut
20 Cents in District

While the Justice Department
continues its investigation of the
fuel oil industry. local oil outlets
during the past week have set prices
20 cents per hundred gallons cheap
er than during the previous five
week period, it was learned today.
Up to about a week ago most of
the large oil companies set s74O per
hundred gallons as their Washing
ton fee for fuel oil. it was stated.
Now the rate is $7.20:
An overburdened antitrust divi-
sion in the Justice Department has
turned over part of its oil investiga-
ton to other branches of the
agency, it was learned. Investigators
were unwilling to state what future
action will be taken.
Oil Offices here said they knew no
reason for their rate cut, as it was
determined in out-of-town head
quarters. One office manager said
the decrease followed a 50-cent-per-
l00-gallOn increase November 16. a
25-cent increase November %. and a
Accent increase December 16.

|ckes Defends
Annex Plan
As Traffic Aid
Secretary Controdicts
Criticism Problems
Would Be Created

Secretary of Interior Ickes today
replied to criticism that proposed
plan for a Pan American Union
annex would create traffic problems
by saying the plan is designed to
reduce present traffic hazards. He
added it has been approved by
President Roosevelt.
The hazards would be reduced, he
said in statement to the press. by
direction islands at strategic points.
The proposed plan, made public
earlier this week when it was APP
proved by the Fine Arts Commits
sion, would bend Eighteenth street
westward, south of C street NV, to
permit erection Of the annex i'm
medlately west of the present Pam
American Union Building. Nine
tenth street would be bent east
ward to correspond with Eighteenth,
and Virginia avenue would be closed
between Nineteenth and the present
intersection of Virginia avenue at
Constitution avenue.
The Streetcar line which now
comes south on Nineteenth and cir
Giles along Virginia avenue and I'D
Eighteenth will be moved to make
the turn along c street instead of
Virginia avenue, and a car stop will
be located on C street Immediately
in front of the entrance to the New
Interior Building.
Between Eighteenth and Nine
tenth from c street south to Con-
Stltutlon avenue will be a green's
ward plaza 300 feet long and l25
feet wide, which will provide a set
ting to memorials to leaders of
Central and South America, it was
stated.
The plan, as approved, required
congressional approval since it pro-
vides a location for the annex
different from that which Congress
originally authorized more than a
decade ago. The old authorizat ton
would have located the annex on
triangle Immediately south of the
Interior Building, but Mr.. Ickes
succeeded in blocking the project

A compromise plan, it was studied
by a special committee, including
Mr.. Ickes as chairman, DR.. Leo S.
Rowe, director general of the Pam
American Union; Gilmore D. Clarke,
chairman of the Fine Arts Commits
sion; Frederic A. Delano, chairman
of the National Capital Park and

Iee-CapadesGetsHigh
Rank as Spectacle
In Making Bow
Provides Plenty Of Life
And Fun, With Bod Ice
Presenting Only Flaw
Bv BURTON HAWKINS.


There's limit to what can be &C
complished on ice-and the Ice
Capades of l94l 60 the limit.
Those who regard the Ice Follies
as the Barnum e. Bailey show of
the ice won't exactly establish the
Ice-Capades as comparative county
fair. The spectacle may lack the
finesse of the Follies, but its brand
of humor is more contagious.
Belita and Vera Hrub of the Ice
Capades may be half a spin or so
under the effectiveness of the Follies'
famed Evelyn Chandler and its waltz
number can't approach the mag
niflcient maneuvering of the Follies
gliders, but. by the same token, the
Follies can't match the wit of Joe
Jackson, jr, the juggling of Serge
Flash or the ballet mastery of Red
Mccarthy in his silver paint job.
Ice Proves Too Soft.
The only noticeable flaw in the
show, as presented before an OPEN
ing crowd of 5000 last night at that
concrete cavern. Uline Arena. was
the faulty ice. which probably will
be remedied by tonight. Blades cut
the brittle surface like SNOWFALL
scrapers and precipitated several
unscheduled spills.
AS fascinating as the show was
the arena itself. 1t is no shack,
this Uline Arena, for from entrance
to ice it reflects good taste. The
gigantic shell may be the most
welcome addition to Washington S
sports family since Walter johnson
first fired a fast one plateward for
the Mats.
One of the members of the boxing
fraternity summed it up with Mr..

Two Directors Appeal
Draft Scrup|es Here;
Work Campt 10 GET 40
Both Pass Physical Tests;
One Willing to Take
Non-combotont Duty

Two conscientious DIRECTORS" here
have appealed their selection by a
local draft board for a years mill
tary training under selective service,
it was learned today.
Both have passed their physical
examinations and were put in Glass
la available for immediate serv-
ice). One objected to combatant
service only, it was understood,
while the other asserted that moral
scruples forbade him from willingly
serving in either combatant or nom
combatant military units.
Only the latter can be described
as conscientious objector under
strict terms of the Selective Service
Act of 1910. for provision is made
for placing those who object to COM
Blatant service in such non-fghting
units as the Medical Corps.
One to Go to State Park.
Should the youth unwilling to
engage in either combatant or nom
combatant service lose his appeal. he
probably would be assigned to Pa
tapsco State Park, near Baltimore,
one of the new work camps to be
established for such cases.
Forty Maryland registrants, along
with approximately 1000 others in
Guided in the November, December
and January draft quota calls
throughout the country, have been
assigned to the PatapSco Park camp
The Patapsco Park work camp is
one Of several that are to be operat-
ed by the National Service Board for
Religious Directors. These camps
will be maintained by religious
groups such as the Quakers and
Menonnites at an estimated cost of
s35 per man each month. Other
camps. also listed for early opening,
are at Onekema, Mich; Coopers-
town, N. Y; San Dimas, Calf: Colo
RADIO Springs, Colo; Grottoes, Va,
and Bluffton and Lagro, Ind.
All Carefully Investigated.
Gen. Cox pointed out that men
willing to serve in non-combatant
units of regular military organiza-
tons can be taken care of without
special work camp assignments But
all conscientious directors are in
vestigated carefully to make certain
that their religious scruples are gen.
uine and not hastily adopted about
the time the registrant was sent a
QUESTIONABLE relative to possible
military service.
Physical examinations prepara-
tory to filling the Districts February
quota will be completed Friday
night, when the third installment
group of registrants from local
boards will be checked over at six
hospitals here More than 400 were
examined last night. and the first
group were given tests last Friday
night.
F. w. Besley, Maryland State
forester, said the Patapsco camp,
formerly c. c. C. camp and later
occupied by the National Youth Ad-
ministration, would accommodate
about 200 men.
