CEDAR POINT. Md, July 25.-
Beneath the terrific clouds of chok-
ing dust that some 1900 workmen
are raising here, there Is emerging
one Of the most important naval air
stations In the United States.
I'VE have just scratched the sur
face" said one official. But the
men are scratching constantly, some
on 11-hour shifts, others on shifts
that change and allow work to 60
throughout "a hours of the day.
And they are scratching with gi-
gantic machinery that makes the
old team and scraper grading seem
as ancient as the equipment used
to build the Appian Way.
Here giant caterpillar drawn ele-
waiting graders load 13 to Is cubic
yards of rich st. Mary's County soil
into huge "Eukies" while scraping
a level space for runway. A
"Eukie" is a 150-horsepower Diesel
truck with dump body, the units
integrated and really all one. The
"Eukies," named because their man
ufacturing firm is Euclid, romp
along with those loads of dirt at
40 miles per hour on smooth terrain
Rough ground is just a minor irri-
tation to them.
Real Job for Drivers.

Yard
Most sorely needed are volunteers
living in the vicinity of No. police
station at Sixth street and New
York avenue NV. There the re-
sponse to explanations and appeals
has been smallest.
Appeal to War Workers.
Because most of those who have
volunteered are either born Wash
ingtonians or longtime residents,
Col. Bolles made special appeal
to those who consider Washington
their home only for the duration.
washington belongs to all of us
regardless of where we were born
or how long we are going to stay
here. It is the Capital OF our coun-
try. 1t is home to all of u.s."
To see just what the control CEN
ters mean to the defense of the
city, he urged attendance at the
Water Gate rally Tuesday night
when operation of a control center
will be demonstrated. from the time
the call for help reaches the teleph-
onist at the center until the neces-
sary equipment is sent to the scene
That demonstration. he hopes
will help people realize that the
machinery for defending their city
Is there. 1t Is only the volunteers
who are missing.

Senate May Decide
Fate Of federal PAY
Raise Tomorrow
George Is Favorable
To Action on Increase
In Lower Brackets
Star Staff Photos.

The fate Of the House-approved
bill to raise the salaries of 5000
Government employees in the lower
brackets, principally in the Gus
todial service, probably will be set
tied in the Senate tomorrow.
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia, who questioned whether
Government salaries should be in
creased at this time when debate
on the bill started Thursday, said
yesterday he would not object to
consideration OF the 1ow-bracket in
creases but would continue to op-
pose the amendment offered from
the floor to raise the office of Dis
trict recorder of deeds to higher
salary grade.
The amendment, offered by Sena-
tor Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma,
would raise the position of recorder
from $1,000 to 5000. 1t will be the
pending question when the Senate
reconvenes at noon tomorrow.
Senator Mead, Democrat, of New
York, in charge of the bill, indicated
yesterday he believes the measure
should be confined to the low
brackets, explaining that it was not
| drafted as general pay increase
bill.
The bill has four main features,
namely:
To fix $1,000 as the minimum for
full time adult employment in
grades for which the present mini
NUNS are 1,020 and $1,000.
To make the entrance pay for pub
lie building guards $500 instead OF
81 200.
To fix the minimum for mechanics
in executive departments at 1880
instead of 1880
To raise the hourly wage rates
for charwomen.

The problem of enforcement Of

was believed at hand last night

An OPA spokesman said nearly
