out the United States. in violation
of the Sherman Antitrust Act.
Price Manipulation Alleged.

chains, through price cutting, price
fixing and other means.
l.. A. Warren, president Of Safe

McCarran Offers Plan
To Raise Pay Of Police,
Firemen by $3.50
Compromise Proposal,
Averaging 10 Pet,
Also Covers Teachers
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

A compromise pay plan that
would give District policemen,
flremen and school teachers a
$3.50 increase to meet wartime
living costs has been worked out
by Chairman McCarran of the
Senate District Committee, he
made known today.
The Senator pointed out that this
would mean greater percentage OF
increase for the low than the high
brackets-one of the goals he sought
to accomplish in studying last
weeks hearings.
The original bill introduced fol
the policemen and, firemen two
weeks ago would mean a $3.50 raise
for rockies and a s480 increase for
privates in the maximum grade
and for officers. The raises would
be equivalent to 20 per cent in
crease for priyates.
Is Per Cent for Teachers.
The school teachers had a sepa-
rate bill introduced, calling for IS
per cent raise, based on the War
Labor Boards cost-of living for
mula in the little steel" case.
The Commissioners made a coun-
ter-proposal which would limit the
increase to temporary 10 per cent
raise for policemen, firemen and
teachers. Senator McCarran said
his alternative fat increase will be
equivalent to about 10 per cent for
most of those in the upper brackets,
but more than 10 per cent for those
from the middle to the lowest brack-
ct. No one would be permitted to re-
ceive increases that would raise the
annual salary above $4,000.
He emphasized that other commit
tee members have not yet approved
the substitute, but a committee
meeting will be called for tomorrow
morning to consider this solution.

teachers were not covered by the
general Government pay increase
bill of last month. and Senator Nc
Carran Is anxious to get early
action for these three groups.
Meanwhile, Senator Downey

man of the Civil Service Commit
tee, began comforting informally to-
day with members Of that commit
tee to map out course of procedure

Hull Says War Needs
More Attention Than
Political Questions
Refuses to Comment
On Appointment of
Peyrouton in Algeria

MARCEL PEYROUTON EXPECT
ED to oust pro-Laval officials in
Algeria Page AS
Secretary of State Hull heated
ly told a press conference today
that more attention should be
given to cooperating with prose-
cution Of the war than to politi-
cal or factional questions in
North Africa.
Mr.. Hull calmly referred to the
War Department queries comment
on the appointment of Marcel Pey-
routon as governor general of AL
geria, but appeared to come close to
losing his temper when asked II the
State Department was doing any
thing to see that President Roose-
velts request for freeing of political
prisoners in, North Africa Is carried
out
Speaking with unusual intensity
Mr.. Hull said he wished we could
get our minds on the war for few
minutes and suggested that if per-
sons preoccupied with such ques-
tions would give few minutes each
day to thinking more about the seri-
BUSINESS of the war situation they
might sleep better at night.
Confidence in Allied Chiefs.
He went on to say that he made
no attempt to keep up with details,
such as he was being questioned
about, adding that he had complete
confidence in those in charge of
Allied operations in North Africa
The State Department is striving
to cooperate in prosecution of the
actual battle rather than deal now
with details Of politics, factionalism
and social questions behind the lines
he emphasized
In calmer vein, the Secretary
said he was not speaking in any
spirit Of captiousness, but that he
felt strongly that the seriousness of
the military situation in North
Africa should not be overlooked
along with the responsibility of
every One-eSpecldliy LnOSe IN Olnclai
positions-to give their best CO.
operation to the military operations.
Primarily a Military Matter.
In regard to the specific question
about progress in freeing political
prisoners in North Africa since the
Allied invasion, Mr.. Hull said he
could not answer that without
checking the records. He added
that this was the type of question
which should be dealt with by the
War Department under present
circumstances.
In regard to the Peyrouton ap-
pointment, which has brought con-
siderable criticism from Fighting
French spokesmen and others op-
posed to any cooperation with
former Vichy officials, Mr. Hull said
he understood it was primarily in
volved in the military situation and
therefore he would have to refer
any request for comment on it to
the War Department.
