Heavy Anti-Aircraft Fire.
Col. Hegy said several other Zeros
were damaged in addition to the
three downed. The Liberators also
encountered considerable anti-air-
craft fire.
The Zeros followed the bombers
for so miles from Wake, but for the
most part showed no eagerness to
get in close because of the accurate
Yankee gunners.
The 36-year-old colonel, from
Hartford, Wis, acted as waist gunner
in a plane piloted by Maj. Dana
Billings of Ripon, Wis. 1t was the
colonel's first combat raid. He said
he was certain some of his bullets
hit the attacking zeros. although
he saw none of the enemy fall.
Once when the Zeros were at
tacking," Col. Hegy said, "the other
waist gunner poked me in the ribs
and said look I looked out and
saw a piece of Zero floating past
our ship. 1t was blue and partly
bent so somebody got at least one
Zero"
In the 7th Air Force dash not
single occupant of any Of the planes
was wounded by the Japanese, who
fired 20-millimeter and TT shells
into the bombers.
No American Losses in Raids.
In the five raids to date on Wake

A growing scarcity of popular.
brand cigarettes and low-pricec

early Christmas buying and heavy
overseas shipments-was reported

There is widespread voluntary ra-

Little shortage of pipe tobacco was
reported anywhere, and if the short
age Of cigarettes and cigars becomes
more acute, as many tobacco men
predict, a general resurrection o1
pipes is expected.

RumI Urges Tax Reduction
As Postwar Fiscal POLICY

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Beardsley
Ruml advocated last night a nine
point postwar Federal fiscal policy
calling for reduction of tax rates
including those on individual in
comes.
Reorganization of parts OF the
Federal Government concerned with
fiscal policy and administration was
included in the plan.
Mr.. Ruml. who is chairman of the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York
declared in an address on the Lucius
N. Littauer program at Hunter Col
lege that business wants a fiscal
program that will help it create
good products, good jobs and good
investments,
He said fiscal policy alone can
not produce a healthy condition of
high employment and high produc-
ton, but declared his proposal would
aid in reaching such a goal and
will provide a flow of purchasing
demand, which springs authentically
from the tens of millions whose tax
burdens will have been reduced"

Decline in Prices

Record Reductions
By J Establishments

A trend toward lower restaurant
prices in Washington is being re-
ported to District OPA headquar-
tiers by price clerks attached to the
city's various ration boards, 1t was
learned today.
So far, 1t was said, seven restau-
rants in three boards have reported
lower prices and a study of the
subject was undertaken at a meet.

morning. according to Sherwood
Dodge, District price executive.

The three boards reporting reduce

at Lamont and Sixteenth street:
Board 81, serving the Cleveland
Park area ~and located at Twenty
ninth and Calvert streets NV, and
Board AZ at Twentieth and Evarts
streets NE.
In some cases the lowered prices
represent direct savings to the con.
sumer while in others, it was said.
lowered prices were obtained by
eliminating unessential items. Both
trends were hailed by Mr.. Dodge,
who pointed out that restaurant
proprietors who cut out frills and
thus were able to offer lower prices
to consumers are aiding the war
effort.
1T is distinctly a trend in the
opposite direction" he said, "and
1t is encouraging to find restaurant
proprietors who are willing to put
their brains to work to see how
they can offer lower prices instead
OF building prices up by adding un-
essentials"
One restaurant proprietor re-
ported that she had been able to
lower her lunch costs by eliminate
ing tablecloths. She also offered
three instead of four course din
ner, eliminated a relish platter and
found that the demand for the
three-course dinner made it al
most unnecessary to serve the larger
meal except in special cases. when
people were entertaining, she as
serted.

Fairfax County PTAs
Ask State 10 Boost
Teacher Pay Funds
Federation Seeks 81 200
Per Unit; School Bus
Schedules Criticized

The Fairfax County Federation of
Parent Teacher Associations and
School Leagues unanimously adopt
ed last night resolution requesting
the Virginia State Legislature to
grant 81 200 per teacher unit as its
share Of salaries in State schools as
proposed by the State Education As
sociation.
Under a plan proposed by Gov.
Derden, the State share of teachers
salaries would be a minimum of
$40 per teacher unit in next years
budget and the minimum would be
raised to 1920 for the following year.
Teacher units, based on the aver
age daily attendance in schools, vary
throughout the State. In Fairfax
County en- average daily attendance
of 80 students comprises a teacher
unit. The county, with 222 teacher
units. employs 287 teachers.
Arthur G. Stickley, I'd, vice presi-
dent of the Fairview Parent Teacher
Association, told the federation that
under present school bus schedules
many children in the primary grades
are forced to leave their homes as
early as 7 am. in order to ride a
bus, and cannot return to their
homes until S pm. or later.
Pointing out that this condition
probably resulted from an Office of
Defense Transportation order cut
ting school bus operation rs per cent,
Mr.. Stickley suggested that the fed
Grafton assist the School Board in
study of ways to remedy the situa-
ton.
Other federation members said the
problem was countrywide and is
partly due to the ODT restricting
order and partly due to an insuff1-
cient number of buses. The condi-
tion existed somewhat before the
war. it was said.
Mrs. r. A. Osborn, president of
the federation, was authorized to
committee to study the
problem and make recommendation
to the County School Board.
