Indications that some Govern
ment agencies are boarding tires
to an extent that may force other
Federal bureaus to buy from the
already depleted civilian stock
supply are being investigated by
the Joint Committee on Reduc-
ton of Nom Essential Federal
Expenditures, headed by Senator
Byrd, it was learned yesterday.
A spokesman for the Byrd Com
mittee said action must be taken to
make the alleged -hoarders
share their tires with other Federal
agencies if a further bite into civil
ian stocks is to be avoided.
These agencies with large stock
piles of tires are reluctant to share
their vital tire supply with other
bureaus who report they are facing
a shortage, according to the COM
mittee spokesman,
1t was also revealed that the COM
mittee plans action on requests that
Federal cars be more adequately

A revision of the overtime scale
to give departmental employees
approximately 10 per cent more
than the temporary war pay leg
islation provides, and a fiat in
crease of $500 for postal workers,
may be the basis for the new
Federal pay law which is due to
replace the current measure
after April 30.
The tentative program was out
lined yesterday by Senator Mead,
Democrat, of New York, who has
been named by Chairman Dowrey
of the Senate Civil Service Commit
tee to handle the bill in the Senate.
Senator Mead plans to confer this
week on the subject.
The overtime scale, while nomi-
nally at the rate of time and one
half for hours over 40, figures less
than that because it is based on q
360-day work year. The move now
under consideration would change
the yearly base to 260 days, and
make the scale actually time and
half. The pay increase, effec-
tive December l, amounted to ZIG
per cent, but by changing the basis
of calculation, it would be boosted
to 80 per cent, representing 20 per
cent for the increased hours-the
work week formerly was 80 hours
and a 10 per cent addition to the
basic wage
Postal employees are covered under
the existing law but have been
agitating for fat $500 raise. They
received overtime at the straight
time rate until the temporary law
was passed A $500 raise would be
about IS per cent on the average
postal salary, according to Senator
Mead.
The new pay bill is to be effective
until six months after the end OF
/ the war.

he said, and draw from this supply
when they could establish absolute

WPB 10 Reconsider
Ban on Construction
0fD.C. Fairgrounds
Agrees to Hear Pleas
Of Mason Thut Areas
Are VitoI to War Effort

Vehement protests by the Rec
reation Board and the Commits
sioners over the War Production
Boards ban on construction of
20 District Fairgrounds will re-
suit this week in reconsideration
by the WPB, it was learned yes
terday.
The Facility Review Committee
of the WPB has agreed to hear
pleas Of Commissioner Mason and
Milo F. christensen, recreation
superintendent, that construction of
the Fairgrounds is necessary to the
war effort and would not be
drain on essential war equipment.
The committee stood adamant
when protests were first made
against its action last month, but
granted hearing when the Recrea-
ton Board and the Commissioners
joined forces about two weeks ago.
The meeting is tentatively sched-
uled for Thursday.
Stop Orders Caused Losses.
In December, the committee or
dered the playground grading
stopped as part of an overall ma
tional program to stop unnecessary
construction" The group declared
at that time that men and equip
ment used on the Fairgrounds could
be used for more essential war work.
Mr.. Christensen and Irving c..
Root, parks superintendent, have
maintained, however, that the three
contractors working on the play
grounds were idle till they got those
jobs and have been idle since the
work was stopped. This was cor
roborated yesterday by the con-
tractors.
1--WE lost $4,000 ourselves on the
stopping and starting" said one con-
tractor.
I'm afraid to comment because
it's dynamite" said another.
The three companies concerned
had already half finished six play
grounds and had plans ready for
the other %. A few workers now
are completing enough of the six
Fairgrounds to protect the grad
ing already done.
Three Nearly Completed.
The Facility Review Committee
explained through spokesmen that
it knew of no particular local job
to which these men and equipment
could be sent, but suggested they
could move out of the city for an
other war job About as men were
employed on the Fairgrounds dur
ing the preliminary earth moving,
but this number was cut as the
work progressed.
The three Fairgrounds most nearly
completed are Hillcrest, Stadium
Site and OXon Run.
