$500 Maximum Provision
Goes to House With
Committee Approval

Representative Schultz, Demo-
crat, of Indiana, said today he
would ask the House next week to
consider his bill providing a maxi
mum pay increase Of $500 a year for
District firemen and members of
the Metropolitan Park and White
House police forces who have .
rank Of captain or less.
The measure was placed on the
House calendar yesterday following
approval by the District Commit
tee.
The committee also indorsed a
bill requiring the licensing of all
child placement groups and their
strict supervision by the Board Of
Public Welfare.
The police and fire pay increase
legislation was approved despite the
opposition of the Commissioners,
who said the District in its present
wartime financial straits could not
afford to pay the bill. Data had
been given the committee showing
the higher pay scale would add
about 100000 a year to the operat-
ing expenses of the city.
Mr.. Schulte's bill is a substitute
for one the House killed two weeks
ago which would have increased the
pay of all police and firemen $500
q year.

agencies and to establish an actu-
arally sound retirement plan for
State employees and public school
