Lodging Committee Seeks
More Cots for Servicemen

Although accommodations were
found for 683 colored soldiers from
Fort Belvoir over the week end.
many more cots are needed to help
take care of future emergencies, it
was learned today from the Service
Mems Lodging Committee.
To prepare for an influx of SOL
diers from Fort Belvoir, which an
nounced 1000 men would be given
weekend leave, the committee
made efforts to get additional cots,
but none could be located, said
Grover Hartman, vice chairman Of
the committee.
Appeal has been made to the
Federal Security Agency for more
cots and it is hoped, he said. that
in the future some results may be
obtained.

Bill Increasing
Pay Of Federal
Workers Signed
Measure Affects
l60, 900 Persons in
CustodioI Service

President Roosevelt today signed
legislation which adjusts and cor
relates custodial pay in the Govern
ment service. The bill provides pay
raises for 100000 Government work
ers, $4,000 of whom are employed in
Washington.
The measure establishes a 81 200
minimum for all full time adult
workers in lieu of the present
minimum Of 81 ,020 and 81, ,080; raises
the hourly rates for part-time char
women from so cents to IS cents and
for head charwomen from SIS cents
to 10 cents.
It establishes 81 500 minimum
for building guards, instead of the
present minimum of 81 200, and ad-
justs the salaries of sergeants, lieu
tenants and captains in the same
grade relationship as now exists.
$1,S6O Minimum for Mechanics.
It establishes minimum of 81 $50
for iourneymen mechanics, instead
Of the present minimum of 81 $50.
In the light of these minimums.
It reconstructs the pay scales in the
1irst eight grades Of the custodial
service which is hereafter to be
known a. the crafts, protective and
c,istodial service. No positions over
o2.00O are affected. The subprofes-
sional classes, which include hos
pital attendants, receive a raise ap-
proximat ting $50 annually.
Cost Placed at SIS, 768, 900.
A representative of the Budget
Bureau testified that the estimated
total cost to put this legislation in
effect would be $40 1893 600, against
which there would be an offset of
$4,130, 900 from within-grade salary
advancements already provided by
law for which appropriations had
previously been made. The net an
nual increase would then be ap-
proximately SIS, ,768, 900.
The President also signed bill
sponsored by Senator Reynolds,
Democrat, of North Caroline, de-
signed to expedite disposition of Ger
tain classes of general courtmartial
cases arising within distant COM
mands such as the European theater
Of operations and the Southwest
Pacific area.

A serious shortage Of physics and

ed Paul v. McNutt, war manpower
chairman, to urge teachers to enroll
in tuition-free, short-term teaching
courses set up in 200 colleges and
universities under the war program
of the Federal ONCE of Education.
The teaching load in these war
essential fields of education is in
creasing sharply, while the number
OF teachers is decreasing because
many OF them are being drawn into

AAA Against Proposal
To Forbid Pedestrian
Mid-B|ock CROSSINGS
Rule UnenforceobIe,
Cleveland Says, and Is
Opposed by Police

The Washington division OF the
American Automobile Association
today announced its opposition to a
proposed regulation forbidding Pc
deStrians from crossing streets in the
middle of block.
"Sucn an ordnance could not be
enforced and its wholesale violation
would merely breed disrespect for all
traffic laws" said Washington I.
Cleveland, District AAA manager,
In q letter to Commissioner John
Russell Young.
The new regulation was suggested
last week by the TrafIlc Advisory
Council, which pointed out that So
per cent Of the pedestrian deaths in
Washington this year occurred when
people were struck down while cross
ing streets At places other than
Intersections.
Present traffic laws require only
that persons crossing at intersections
observe traffic signals.
Mr.. Cleveland said that the Met
rropolitan Police Department also Is
opposed to the suggested regulation.
He continued:
ITO add another unenforceable
trafiic regulation banning pedes-
trians from crossing streets except
at corners would not solve the pres
ent traffic difficulties but would only
help to destroy the effectiveness OF
the existing regulation requiring that
pedestrians who cross at controlled
intersection must cross only on the
proper light.
I'm conclusion, the American Au-
tomobile Association urges that the
present pedestrian protection law be
more rigidly enforced and that the
members of the Metropolitan Police
Department be encouraged to cau-
ton persons who jaywalk on Wash
ington streets to cross the safe way,
which is at the corner"

Co-ordinating Work
OF gu. 5. Agencies in
Child Care Planned
Charles SchottIund Named
To Direct Establishment
Of Nursery Schools

To coordinate. the scattered ef-
forts Of nine Federal agencies with
a hand in the problem of providing
day care for children of war work
Ing mothers. the Once of Defense,
Health and Welfare Service has
established day care section under
the direction of Charles I. Schott-
land.
The new section plans to set up a
Nationwide network Of nursery
schools and other centers to care
for young children whose mothers
are working in war industries. At
present the Children's Bureau,
Once OF Education and other Fed
eral agencies give out information
and guidance on the establishment
Of nursery schools. Only WPA has
an actual operation program Of
nurseries in war areas.
The new day care section will re-
view and centralize attsanpteasef
Federal agencies to get apprcplll-
tions for an even broader child
care program.
Nursery Schools Stressed.
Foster care in private homes
cannot be considered a substitute
for nursery schools" Mr.. Schottland
said today. Children in such pri-
vate homes should have the adpan-
tage of nursery schools If it is at
all possible for the community. to
work out arrangements for them.'
Mr.. Schottland pointed out that
foster care is useful primarily in
sections where children are scat
tered over large areas and it Is not
feasible to bring them together in
groups. However, in urban indus
trial areas, group care in nursery
schools will be pushed. The day
care section urges that children in
foster homes go to nursery schools
part time if full-day care is not
available
In addition to the nursery school
program, the day care section will
coordinate efforts to set up indi-
vidual counseling services to help
mothers decide on whether or not
to 60 to work and will plan after
school programs for school -age chill
dren.
No Projects Yet Approved.
Though funds under the Com
munity Facilities Act have been
available for many months for the
construction OF day-care centers,
not a single project has been ap-
proved. This, Mr.. Schottland at
tributes to the routine projects
must face in local, State and Fed
eral agencies before final approval.
Coordination of the activities on
child care has taken place in recog-
milton of the fact that mobilization
of women for war work has been
held up throughout the country for
lack Of facilities to care for chill
dren. In Washington, for example,
surveys by the city-wide emergency
committee for the day y-care of young
children, show that many trained
mothers must quit work, or are
prevented from taking jobs, be-
cause they have no place to leave
their children. Nursery schools
would enable thousands of women
already in war areas to take jobs
and cut down migration, surveys
made throughout the Nation reveal.

Later School Opening
Urged 10 Relieve
Arlington Bus Jam
County PUG Also Asks
Lines to Consider
Possible Reroutines

In an effort to relieve the serious"
transportation problem in Arlington,
the County Public Utilities Commits
sion has requested Prof. Fletcher
Kemp, superintendent of schools, to
consider opening junior and senior
high schools one-half hour later
during the coming term.
In addition, the commission has
asked the three bus lines now op-
Grating in the county to study the
possibility of discontinuing service
on existing routes where there is
duplication. The three lines con-
cerned are the A. B. & W., the
Arnold-operated buses and the
Arlington Fairfax line.
Rush Hour Traffic Spread.
According to w. Glen Bixler. sec
retary OF the commission, opening
of the junior and senior high schools
in the county at $50 am. instead
of at 8 am. would make it possible
sfpr the bus companies to reuier
better service to both the Schooa
children and the general public by
spreading their rush hour traf11c. !"
Mr.. Bixler was unable to estimate
the number of school children using
buses while Prof. Kemp could not
be reached for comment.
AS an example of duplicating bus
service, Mr.. Bixler pointed to Colum-
bia pike where he said both the
A. B. w. and the Arlington Fairfax
companies operate buses.
He also indicated that unless the
bus lines take steps in this direction
voluntarily, the ONCE of Defense
Transportation may take some OH
cial action.
Re-routing Study.
At its meeting tonight. the utili-
ties body also will discuss possible
rerouting of the A. B. & w. bus line
to serve the new Air Corps Building
at Gravlely Point instead of the
new Navy Department Building on
the return trip from Washington.
Mr.. Bixler said the line now runs
empty buses into Washington to
carry workers to the Navy Depart
ment in Arlington, and then return
empty to Alexandria.
Under the proposed system, buses
would carry workers from Alexan-
dria to Washington and then pick
up employees Of the new Air Corps
Building on their return trip.
The Arlington Fairfax line would
continue to serve the Navy Depart
ment, he added. together with
some" A. B. & w. buses.
Rosslyn Circle Plan.
Also on the commissions docket
is the substitute suggestion for the
Van Duzer plan to have Arnold
buses turn back at Rosslyn.
The substitute plan, advanced
Saturday by the Washington Re-
gionaf Committee of Defense Trans
portation Administrators, calls for
continuation of the present inter-
state operation of the Arnold buses
during the morning and evening
rush hours.

experience in administering this
