P.-T. A. Institute Told
Juvenile Delinquency
Is on Increase Here
Young People Lack
ReoI Participation in
War Effort, Parents Hear

Capt. Rhoda Milliken OF the Met
tropolitan Police Department told
200 teachers and parents yesterday
that there has been IS per cent
increase in juvenile delinquency in
the District in the first Is months Of
the war.
Capt. Milliken compared this
figure with the 40 per cent increase
In London. She said London's in
crease was explained by the greater
war problems faced by youth there.
No Real Participation.
Addressing the Sixth Parent
Teacher Institute of the District
held at the George Washington
University Hall of Government,
Capt. Milliken said the main reason
for the increase of delinquency here
was that young people have no real
participation in the war effort.
She pointed out that England ab-
serbs the energies of the 16-to-18-
year-old group in "pre-service army
and Navy units" where boys learn
a sense Of responsibility and that

Sterilization Program Leaves
Problem of Raises in Doubt
Thousands Of Questions Unanswered
In Detailed Plan, Spokesman Admits

BY the Associated Press.
Salary stabilization experts Of the
Treasury's Bureau of Internal Rev
enue scattered to the storm cellars
today-just one jump ahead of an
army of white collar workers shout
ing Hey, what about me?"
Voluminous but somewhat vague
details of program planned to pre-
vent most raises and hold all SAL
aries to $4,000 net a year, or a
basic gross of $67,200, were issued
after weeks Of waiting.
But the question of whether lot
| of citizens will get raises was still
unanswered-remaining up to the
bureaus regional Offices to settle,
case by case.
If it's any consolation, cutting
ones salary appeared to be just as
big question and due for identical
treatment.
Questions Unanswered.
Under terms of the anti-inflation
program outlined by President
Roosevelt and Economic Director
James F. Byrnes, the bureau must
regulate all salaries over $4,000 net
a year, plus those under that figure
when paid to non-farm, unorgan-
lied. administrative, executive and
professional workers.
Last night the bureau announced
the details, outlining definitions and
broad terms of the program in
21-page, single-spaced typewriter
report.
But as the average citizen searched
vainly for the solution to his spe-
cif1c problem, Treasury spokes-
man admitted
There are thousands Of questions
which remain unanswered"
Must Be Approved.
While the new regulations indi-
Gated there are many ways by which
salary increases may be given, the
bureau stressed that most of them
must be approved by the internal
revenue commissioner-through one
of the regional stabilizati ton Offices
or both employer and employe may
risk a $1,000 fine or years i'm
prisonment.
Raises may be given without the
commissioners approval only for
individual promotion or reclassifi-
cation, individual merit increases,
length of service (under an estah-
lished PLAN, operation of trainee
system or such other reasons or
circumstances as may be prescribed
in rulings or regulations promul-
gated by the commissioner from
time to time"
And, even in those cases, the pos
sibility of varying definitions of the
terms involved made observers
question whether many employers
would risk unapproved raises until
specific rulings clarified each case.
Christmas Bonuses Allowed.
Concerning the s25 ,000-net limita-
ton, the bureau indicated it would
remain "open-minded" on such mat
ters as charitable contributions, in
surance premiums and fixed obliga-
tions, giving each an individual
| treatment.
Otherwise, by definition and ex-
ample these points were made:
Salary" covers any compensation
for personal services of an employe

fees, etc.-and "the commissioner il

Contracts Upsetting
Stabilized Wage Plan
Prohibited by WLB
Delaware Cose Used
As Bosis for Ruling
On EscoIotor Clauses

The War Labor Beard will not
permit labor agreements to contain
escalator clauses, under which wage
changes are geared to changes in
hving costs, if their operation would
result in wage increases inconsistent
with the boards wage sterilization
program.
The board announced that policy
yesterday in disapproving the
escalator clauses in the contract be-
tween the Byrites Co, Wilmington,
Della, and the Mine, Mill and
Smelters Workers, CIO. Approval of
the escalator clause, the board said,
would have resulted in a genera,
wage increase bringing the straight
time rates of the company's 1856 en-
ployes above IS per cent of those
prevailing January /, l94l.
Increases Received. .-.
THE employees of the Pyrites Co.
have received general increases of
19 per cent over their straight-t time
hourly earnings of January, l941. +"
DR.. George W. Taylor, WI,B vice
Chairman, said in writing the board S
opinion. ~, +
In the Pyrites case an agreement
provided for an increase or decrease
OF 2 cents an hour for each 3-point
change in the Federal cost of living
index for the Philadelphia area.
Anticipating an index rise calling
for a wage increase, the company
and the union in September asked
the boards advice.
Under the wage stabilization pro-
gram the workers have no proper
claim for further increases in wage
rates as a cost OF living adjustment.
Nor can the escalator clause of the
agreement between these parties
serve to provide an additional cost
of-living adjustment in wages which
is Incompatible with the national
stabilization program" said DR.. Tay-
lor.
Sterilization Necessary.
TN getting our domestic economy
to war necessities, this Nation has
come to understand that wages and
cost of living must both be stabil-
lied substantially at the levels pres
emily prevailing. A stabilized do
mestic economy Is one of the pre-
requisites for successful prosecution
OF the war. This objective was very
much in mind when the War Labor
Board announced November 6, 1912,
that it would act on the presump-
tion that wage rates prevailing Sep
tember Is, 1912, are proper and
would increase such rates only in
exceptional cases.
ANY policy Of the board which
would result in the material and
widespread increases in September
Is wage rates would also nullify the
efforts now being made to hold the
cost of living at present levels"
The boards decision in this case,
DR., Taylor said, did not preclude
entirely the operation of escalator
clauses. Under the policy Of the
board, he explained, such clauses
may be approved If they provide
straight time rates not more than
Is per cent above the January l,
lo4l, rates.
