WLB and that agency gave its
approval.
Under certain con ditions,
changes in salaries and wages
would not be permitted except on
approval of Byrnes. This would
apply to a wage increase which
would require a change in the
price ceiling of the commodity or
service involved, and to increases
in salaries now exceeding $1,000
q year.
Byrnes Is authorized to take
action to see that salaries do not
exceed $4,000 after payment OF
taxes, although he may make due
allowance for the payment of life
insurance premiums on policies
heretofore issued, and required
payments on fixed obligations
heretofore incurred. and shall
make provision TO prevent undue

0PA Plans Appeal 10 Stay
W. N. & A. Fare Boost

The increase of from 10 to Is
cents on the Seat
Pleasant run of the Washington,
Marlboro &, Annapolis lines was put
into effect at midnight last night,
but the Office of Price Administra-
ton is planning an appeal in an
effort to stay the increase.
Leslie L. Altmann, president of
the lines, said 1t was put into effect
under the terms of the notice filed
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Fleming James, OPA counsel, yes
terday filed notice to appeal the
District Court dismissal of it's in
junction suit against the lines. JUS
tice Daniel w. O'Donoghue threw
out the suit Wednesday.
The proceeding was instituted on
the ground that the line should give
the OPA 80 days notice Of the pro-
posed increase, as provided by an
amendment to the Emergency Price
Control Act.
Justice O'Donoghue held that the
line had made" the fare increase
on September % with the filing Of
the proposed tariff with the ICC,
although it was not to take effect
until October Is. The amendment
to the act did not become law until
October 2.
A temporary injunction had stayed
the increase for the duration of the
District Court proceeding. but 1t was
lifted with Justice O'Donoghue's
ruling.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 2o.-Delegate
Leon A. Rubenstein, Democrat, OF
Baltimore asked the Legislative
Council to recommend repeal of
the declaration OF intention" act,
which he characterized to be Mary
lands particular brand of poll tax. "
This act, he said, vas an ''obnox-
ious law born in sin" In tracing its
history, Mr.. Rubenstein declared 1t
was originally promulgated in 1902
to hinder the bringing into the
State OF Negro ringer" voters.
Newcomers. to Maryland, Mr.. Ru-
oenstein continued, knew little about
the legal requirement that they
would have to flle declarations of
intention Of becoming MARYLAND
citizens year before exercising the
franchise, adding that no other
State in the Union had such a re-
quirement.
Mr.. Rubenstein said he favored
the one-year residence requirement
and favored asking voters to produce
two amdavits that they had resided

Byrd Pledges Payroll
S|ashes, Beginning
With White House.
Federal Jobs Doubled
In Year, Says Senator,
Heading Economy Drive
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Declaring the Federal payroll has
almost doubled in the last year,
Chairman Byrd OF Joint Congress
sional Economy Committee, today
pledged an effort to prune the ex-
penses of all Government agencies,
beginning with the White House.
where, he said, President Roosevelt's
executive staff payroll entails q
yearly outlay Of $2,909, 400.
Senator Byrd reported that on
September l the White House ex-
ecutive' staff payroll contained 726
employees in the District and 18O
persons outside The Senator said
the $500 ,460 did not include out
lays for any Of the emergency
agencies set up under executive
authority, such as the ONCE for
Emergency Management.
In what appeared to be a we'll
defined move to cut deeply into the
forthcoming new budget, Senator
Byrd told reporters the committee
would concentrate largely on re-
ducing the administrative costs of
war agencies.
THAT seems to be the chief place
where savings can be made" he
said. I'VE may be able to obtain
abolition Of the WPA, which was
given about s4O0, 900 this year,
but not many other cuts can be
made in the non-war agencies"
Senator Byrd said the White
House payroll under President
Woodrow Wilson in July, 1917. dur
ing the last war, contained the
names of 48 persons and involved a
yearly outlay of $164,000.
The monthly payroll for Govern
ment employees this September to-
tailed $410,862 900. he said, exclusive
OF payments to the 10000 members
OF county agricultural committees,
who draw a total of $4,000 900
yearly.
This represented what Senator
Byrd termed a staggering" increase
over the Governments $226, ,155 900
payroll for September, l941.
The committee estimated the num-
Der OF government employees, Federal,
State, municipal and county, at
about 5,982 900, and Senator Byrd
said many Of them should be trans
ferred into war enterprises to help
solve the manpower problem.

rolls of Federal agencies created

Prefabricated Home,
Seen as Peacetime
Ghost Towns
Architecture School
Head Says War Workers
Will Desert Them

| A prediction that large quantity
OF prefabricated houses near indus
trial war plants will form the ghost
towns of peace" was made today by
w. L. Lowndes, director of the school
OF architecture, International Cor
respondence Schools.
In predicting drop in value for
the ready-to-erect structures, Mr.
Lowndes made the following points
Most war workers and their fami-
lies will wish to get away from any
reminders of the congestion and un-
certainties of wartime living.
To get roof over their heads and
to keep the family intact, workers
have accepted living conditions they
would not choose normally. They
do not think such housing consti-
tutes the more abundant life they
have been fighting to preserve.
In many instances the cost of
moving the prefabricated house to a
new location may equal the cost of
new and even better materials that
will be available in a new COM
munity.
Prefabricated houses usually are
fashioned Of lightweight materials.
Because OF this, and the hard wear
they receive, most of them will be
too worn to justify removal to new
sites.
People will accept mass produce
ton houses in wartime, but they
will want to express more individu-
allty when the war emergency ends.
Mr.. Lowndes also pointed out that
postwar labor will be eager to build
new homes. Newer and better ma
terlals will be available and the
result will be more comfortable and
pleasant houses for all.

Fire Precoution
More Important
Than Ever Now

Damage from fire can work seri-
Gus hardships now that materials
for replacement or new construction
are becoming increasingly difncult
to obtain.
Recommended are the following
precautions to safeguard against
fire damage:
Keep chimneys, stoves and fur
naces clean and in good repair.
Empty ashes into metal containers,
never wooden ones. This also ap-
plies to storage of mops and rags
that may contain paint and oil
stains.
Guard against accumulation of
rubbish anywhere, especially In the
attic or basement.
Never under any circumstances
use infiammable cleaning fluids such
as gasoline, naphtha or benzine.
Never force heating plant in
cold weather. Call heating expert,
Always place an iron screen with
an iron mesh In front of the fire.

Always disconnect electrical an
