WAAc Rank and Pay
Lifted Above WAVES

Emoluments for WAAC commits
stoned officers today are two ranks
and $1,000 a year above rank and
pay for equivalent officers in the
WAVES as q result of legislation
just signed by President Roosevelt.
The new act lifts the rank of
Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, WAACS'
director, to that of a full colonel at
a base pay of $4,000 a year, and
increases the status and pay of her
subordinate commissioned officers in
like degree. At the same time base
pay Of enlisted WAACS is raised
from $21 to $50 month, equaling
that of Army privates.
Miss Mildred H. McAfee, director
of the WAVES, the Womens Re-
serve Of the Naval Reserve, is a
lieutenant commander with $4,000
year. Her rank is the. equivalent
In the Army of a major, who like
wise receives 5000 a year base pay.
An assistant director in the
WAVES has the rank of full lieu
tenant at $2,400 a year, whereas an
assistant director in the WAACS
is a lieutenant colonel at $500 a
year. The lowest commissioned off,
Ger in the WAVES and fourth down
in rank from lieutenant commander,
is an ensign at 81 800 year, where
as the fourth WAAC ofiicer below
the colonel is captain at $2,400 a

nurses now on the staffs but to
furnish space for additional nurses.
Catholic University Plan.
Another plan was suggested by
Catholic University, the report said
to use the dormitories at the Sisters
College for student nurses still in
training at various hospitals in the
Metropolitan Area. FWA reported
it had asked the university to sub
nit a request for such facilities.
The cost estimates, it was said,
include all the necessary equipment,
except for Georgetown Hospital and
Childrens Hospital. where such
equipment is to be furnished without
cost to the Government.
When plans for the hospital ex-
pansion program were first studied,
the FWA said. it was discovered that
many of the institutions in the Dis
trict did not have adequate land for
the sprawling one-story type of
building made necessary for priori-
ties restrictions. This was a major
factor, the agency declared, in reach
ing the decision to locate many OF
the new hospital facilities in nearby
areas.
The report pointed out that it has
been impossible to standardize the
designs for the various projects
because of the peculiar problems
presented by each. Among other
diff1culties encountered, the FWA
reported, has been the shortage OF
craftsmen in the Offices of private
architects who have been commits
stoned to draw up the plans.

and finally" the spokesman said, IF
the housing we are providing is
necessary. If it isn't. we will find
something else to do. But we do not
1eel we should be treated like foot
ball. If we are to be stopped, we
have a case we think the public
should know about"
Following the assurance from Col,
Textor that WPB does not intend to
halt private war housing permanent
ly, member of the committee said
they may ask postponement of the
hearing scheduled for Monday be-
fore the House committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds. The COM
mittee, headed by Representative
Lanham, of Texas, had decided to
investigate the WPB order halting
private housing.
I'VE would like to give WPB op-
portunity to make good on its PROM
ises before the committee goes into
the situation" the builders spokes-
man declared.
According to local members of
the committee the order postpones
the construction of about $780,
100000 of private building in the
Washington Metropolitan Area.
About 100000 proposed units
throughout the country are af-
fected.
Order Affects Remodeling.
The WPB order was issued yester-
day in the form of memorandum
sent out to field Offices by w. ".
Kahler, chief of the Construction
Bureau.
A WPB official explained that the
new policy does not affect public
housing projects, nor will it halt
work on private jobs for which pri-
critics certificates have already been
obtained.
WPB officials were understood to
have taken the view that public
housing usually uses materials more
efficiently, inasmuch as such prof.
ects are frequently built on a tenn
porary basis to house a number Of
families. while private housing often
represents one-family dwellings of
more permanent nature.
John Blandford, jr., national
housing administrator, declared that
WPB's order was issued without
consultation with MIA officials.

Some See Greater Need.
The FWA pointed out in its re-
port that the number of new beds
to be provided when the program
is finally completed, will total 1e
more than the 1,056 beds it had es-
timated earlier as being necessary
to meet the current hospital short
age, exclusive of the 100 beds
planned for venereal patients. This
figure was based on ratio of four
beds per 1000 population. Other
experts studying the hospital pro-
gram have declared that actually
more than 1.700, new beds are
needed to provide adequate hospi-
tai facilities in the metropolitan
area.
The Senate was told that $50 of
the new beds planned are to be
obtained by shifting quarters for
nurses and internes to places out
side of hospital buildings. The
combined program also will pro-
vide accommodations for about 1926
new nurses and internes, mostly
in the outlying areas where new
one-story hospital buildings are to
be erected.
The report also stated that the
possibility of using apartment
buildings close to hospitals for
nurses and internes is being ex-
plored. A number of building
agents already have offered the use
of such apartments. it was said,

Tax Law Expected
To Spur Retirement
Of Securities
Action Of U. S. Steel
May Be Followed
By Other Firms
BY tie Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-United
States Steel Corp. in calling yester-
day for retirement of $3O,OO0,O0O of
it's outstanding debentures, set
financial circles wondering how
many high-grade securities might be
taken out of the market as a result
of relief provisions of the 1912 tax
bill
1t was pointed out corporation
could take advantage of a 10 per
cent postwar excess profits tax re-
fund Immediately if it matched each
dollar of refund with $l.50 of its own
money and used the total for debt
retirement.
1T may be that several hundred
million dollars of high-grade cor
porate securities will be retired in
this fashion," commented Dow
Jones, Inc, business news service.
Many of the institutional investors
who now hold these bonds and notes
doubtless will reinvest in Govern
ments (Treasury bonds)."
Action similar to that of the steel
corporation was expected from other
companies, notably industrial con-
Germs with an ample supply of cash
and whose earnings are subject to
the excess profits tax. 1t was
pointed out that few railroad and
utility companies had excess profits,
leaving the industrials as the chief
beneflciaries.
Dow-Jones suggested as logical
candidates" such big corporations
as Standard Oil Co. New Jersey)
the Texas Co., Socony-Vacuum,
Bethlehem Steel, Inland Steel, Ma
tional Steel and possibly American
Tobacco, Standard of Indiana and
Phillips Petroleum Co. "
United States Steels action will
retire part of S75.O0O,OOO issue
which was offered in 1910. The call
applied to serial debentures matur-
ing in 1914, 1916, 1947, 1948 and 1851,
They will be redeemed on or after
November 2 at prices stipulated in
the debentures, with accrued inter-
est to the end of the year.

the WPB'S policy of curtailing use
OF critical materials in construction.
WPB issued yesterday seven Or
ders revoking priority ratings, two
of them involving Grand Coulee
Dam on the Colombia River in
Washington. The other five projects
are sponsored by the Bureau of
Reclamation.
The projects had been scheduled
for completion in 1914 or 1945, and
had potential generating capacity
of 1923, 100 kilowatts annually. Rear
rangement of available generating
units will reduce the net loss to 679,-
100 kilowatts.
Builders were prohibited, effective
Immediately, from continuing con-
strluction or installation on the
projects, except for construction
solely for the purpose of safety or
health, or to avoid undue damage
or deterioration of materials. In
these cases, the stop date is Novem-
yer Is, unless extended by WPB.
Deliveries Must Cease.
In each case, all supplies must
cease delivery or accepting delivery
OF materials to be used in connec-
ton with the construction of the
project or any installation on it.
The order does not, however, pre-
vent the delivery of materials al
ready in transit.
One of the Grand Coulee orders
involves equipment only for the
right (east) powerhouse. Compile
ton of that part of the dam and the
left (West) powerhouse necessary to
place the hydro-generators author
lied for installation in the left
powerhouse in effective operation is
not included in the order.
The other Grand Coulee order
covers Units 7, 8 and 8 in the left
powerhouse.
Reclamation Bureau projects in

Davis Dam, 80 miles west of King
man, Ariz., and 40 miles south of
Boulder Dam on the Colorado River.
The stop-order covers the entire
project.

Reports received in Government
quarters from Arizona state that
farmers have started blowing un-
der unpicked and half-picked long
staple cotton because no help can
be had to harvest the crop.
At the same time the Navy De-
partment issued a statement that
1t would not accept workers en-
gagged in vital war industries.
1t added that steps already had
been taken to carry out the Man
power Commission farm policy. Spe-
ciflcally, the Navy said, men in
selective service classifications based
on vital industries or eligible for
those categories must obtain selec-
tive service releases, and dairy, live
stock and poultry farmers in a de-
ferred classification will not be ac-
cepted.
The Navy said agricultural re-
gions, especially where farming ac-
tivities are the principal industry,
had been omitted from the Nays
drive for volunteers.
In cooperation with the War
Manpower Commission, the Navy
also will direct independent con-
tractors with Navy contracts not to
employ men engaged in essential
farming work, particularly dairy,
livestock and poultry farming" the
Navy said. Through this directive
and through this recruiting policy,
the Navy is making every effort to
keep the home front intact, in order
that the battlefronts on land, on sea
and in air may obtain the material
and supplies necessary to the Sue
cessful prosecution of the war"
