Triumph for Riders
Would Gain Place
In Title PIayoff
By GEORGE HUBER.

This is the windup week for most
Of the high school football teams
hereabouts and the usual number
Of important games are scheduled
TO- close the season. Several big
Tits will be left over for the follow
ing week, however. such as the an
nual Washington-Lee VS.. George
Washington High clash, the high
school championship playoff tilt and
Georgetown Prep's yearly trip to
Iona High at New Rochelle, N. Y,
all on Thanksgiving Day.
The three high school series tilts
this week are Coolidge at Western,
Eastern at Central and Roosevelt
against Tech. If Roosevelt beats
Tech 1t will clinch second place and
spot opposite Coolidge in the title
playoff. However, if Tech wins it
will be tied with Wilson for second
place and a preliminary playoff
would be necessary, which in turn
would set back the championship
game.
Roosevelt Tech Spotlighted.
Because OF its Importance, the
Roosevelt Tech engagement has
been selected as the weeks SPOT
game and will be played on Satur-
day at Central Stadium.
Another big tilt on Friday will be
the annual game between st. Johns
and Gonzaga. The Johnnies this
year have won four of five games,
losing only to Bulls, while Gonzaga
has a 500 record in eight games.
The Eagles, however, are prepared
to give the Johnnies a stiff battle
as has happened in the last two
years, when they went in as under
oogs and emerged with the victory.
In another important contest
scheduled this week end, st. Albans
is playing its last game of the sea-
son against st. James here. A win
would give it a perfect record this
year and also lock up the Interstate
Academic Conference championship.
In fact, the worst the Saints could
DO would be to tie for this title, as
every other team in the loop has lost
at least one game.
Episcopal Invades Woodberry.
Also on Saturday Episcopal goes
to Orange, Va, to meet Woodberrv
Forest. This is a series even longer
than the Tech-Central meetings,
they having begun in 1900 and car
ried through without miss. This
really is a decisive game, Incl
dentally, each having won 20 games.

annual meetings.
Bulls also finishes its season this
Saturday. when Coach Al Grossman

Jesse Jones Sees i. :,
Productive Capacity
As Postwar Problem
Could Be Economic Menace
If Improperly Used,
Secretary Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 3.-Secretary
OF Commerce Jones said tonight
that major postwar problem would
be the use of the productive capacity
built up during the war, and added
that "a big question for us to decide
will be what to do with our Gov
ernment owned manufacturing
facilities"
Mr.. Jones, in an address at the
Army Day dinner of the Military
Order of the World War at the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel said that
the manufacturing capacity Of the
country has been increased many
times. and much of this increase
must be fitted into our postwar pro-
gram in such way as to continue
in a substantial measure the In
creased employment that has been
brought about by the war effort"
I'VE must remember that what
we have done in expanding pro-
ductivity has been matched In a
relative sense by other nations who
will have their problems, he said.
by the end Of the war, productive
capacity properly used can save the
world. and improperly applied could
become an economic menace.
I'VE must therefore find a sound
and sensible solution, This will mean
a meeting of minds Of all peoples
for self preservation and for the
preservation of civilization. A big
question for us to decide will be
what to do with our Government
owned manufacturing facilities. We
will need to maintain high level
of employment to prevent idleness.
suffering and want. But this does
not mean that the Government
must retain the ownership or the
operation of the facilities it has
built. nor does it mean that they
should be sacrificed. 1t means that
Government and private business
must work together to utilize in
peace much of the machinery we
have created for war"
The Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration and other agencies under
his direction have authorized the
expenditure of more than $20,000.-
100000 in the war effort. Mr. Jones
said, much of it invested in the
expansion of plant facilities and
production capacity.
Postwar questions could not be
answered on a narrow, selfish or
sectional basis, the secretary said.
but must be faced as national and
international problems" He cited
international aviation, the imme-
diate commercial problems OF peace
and the utilization or liquidation
of goods and foods needing mar
ket when armies are demobllized,
as questions needing answers.
These all too few instances OF
what peace will mean have brought
me to the conviction that if we are
not to dodge responsibility. every
segment of our conomy-Govern-
ment, capital, business, labor and
agriculture-must be ready with
blueprints for the future Mr.. Jones
said.

House Is Expected
To Approve Wartime
Pay Bill Tomorrow
Senate Plans to Take Up
Measure as EorIy in
Week as Possible
By WILL P. KENNEDY.

The House is expected to pass the
new wartime Federal pay increase
bill tomorrow and the Senate plans
to take up the measure as early as
possible this week.
The bill is intended to replace a
bill, enacted last December. which
automatically expires April 80. The
new bill will be effective from May
/, 1943, until June 30, 1945, unless
Congress prescribes an earlier date.
The Budget Bureau estimated it
will cost the Government $4,000 900
more than the temporary legisla-
ton, or total of $567 100000.
The provisions of the proposed
law are applicable to all civilian off,
GERS and employees in the Federal
service, including Government
owned or controlled corporations,
and those in the District municipal
government whose positions are sub
ject to the Classification Act of 1923
Those not covered by this bill are
elected officials, judges, heads OF de-
partments, independent establish
ments and agencies, employees whose
wages are fixed and adjusted by
wage boards according to prevailing
rates and employees outside the con-
tinental limits of the United States,
including Alaska, who are paid the
prevailing rates for the areas where
employed.
It provides time -anda- pay
for work of more than 40 hours a
week. The base pay for one day
would be 365ths of the per annum
rate, and the hourly rate 18th OF
the daily rate. Overtime pay is
limited to the first $4,000 of an en-
ploye's salary. The ceiling of $4,000
in the present act is continued.
Employees whose compensation is
based on other than the time period
basis, whose hours of duty are inter-
mittent. irregular or less than full
= time, and officers and employees
under the legislative and judicial
branches are granted straight Is
per cent increase on the first $4,000
of their salaries.
The employees of the Library of
Congress, the Botanic Garden and
the Office of the Architect of the
Capitol, who are required to work
not less than 48 hours week, are
put under the overtime provisions.
An amendment suggested by the
Civil Service Commission and the
Bureau of the Budget was accepted
to include those who were left out
of the temporary act on account OF
certain peculiar working conditions
This specifically grants Is per cent
increase to customs employees as
signed to private warehouses that
operate only 40 hours a week
making overtime impossible. The
amendment is broad enough to en-
able adjustments for any other
similar class that may develop.
The bill repeals overtime statutes
relating to certain employees of the
National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics and the Maritime Com
mission since uch employees would
be covered by the new legislation
1t also continues the suspension OF
the Saturday half-holiday law.
