) Out Of 4 Soldiers Attend
'US0 Centers, Study Shows.

A recent survey, made jointly by
the War Department, the National
Opinion Research Center and the
USO, revealed that three out Of
every four enlisted men in the Army
use the USO for social recreation in
their off duty hours, Chester I. Bar
nard, president Of the USO, has
announced.
The survey entitled, Soldier
Opinion About USO Clubs" was
made through questionnaires and in
terviews in geographically indica-
tive USO clubs by the MORO and in
80 Army camps by the research
branch of the Morale Services Divi-
sion of the War Department.
The survey showed, DR.. Barnard
said, that enlisted men with an
urban background use USO facilities
more readily than those from smaller
communities or rural areas because
of a greater familiarity among serv-
licement from urban areas with Or
ganized recreation centers such as
the YMCA, YWCA and Catholic

as outright and deceptive Nazi
propaganda" q Berlin broadcast
which said on Thursday that an
immediate increase In food rations
had been ordered for workers In
vital industries In Poland.
The agency asserted that the an

meaningless because they did not
remove prohibitions which keer
Poles from buying milk. veal, pork
most kinds Of fish and vegetables
and many other necessary foods.
German civilian occupants OF

Citizens Federation
|Favors $1,000 Basic
Salary for Teachers

Calling attention to q crisis de-
veloling In education because Of
inequalities in salaries paid to pub
lie school teachers and persons en-
ployed in private industry, the Fed
Grafton Of Citizens Associations last
night unanimously adopted reso-
luton calling for substantial in.
creases for District teachers ir
lower -salaried backets. Increase!
for beginning teachers was empha.
sized as particularly necessary.
The resolution, submitted to tn,
Committee on Education by tn.
Sixteenth Street Highlands Citi.
zenS Association, would provide .
basic annual salary OF $4,000 fol
kindergarten and elementary teach
ers, with maximum of 81, 400 after
four years service. Teachers quail
flying for advanced rating In this
group would receive a basic salary
Of $2,500 annally and a maximum
of $4,000.
Provisions Explained.
1t was pointed out that teachers
in upper salary brackets would not
receive raises and that the proposed
action could not be considered a
general increase for all teachers.
The committee declared the bill
merely would encourage more can
didates to enter the teaching pro-
fession. Persons with the same
qualifications now enter Federal
service at basic salary of $1,000,
the committee stated, or $500 more
than a beginning school teacher re-
ceives.
Junior high school teachers and
school librarians in certain cate
gories also would be included in the
proposed bill, being placed on equal
financial standing with persons Of
the same qualifications who now
receive more compensation.
The measure also would eliminate
the $500 war bonus for teachers
whose salary increases would ex-
coed that figure.
Other Resolutions Adopted.
The federation also approved a
resolution calling on the Commits
sioners and Board Of Education to
provide adequate facilities at the
Adelaide Davis School for full-day
attendance of all children. Facilities
are so crowded now, the resolution
declared, many pupils receive only
three hours of classroom work daily
An increase in attendance is anti
cipated with the occupation of new
apartment buildings in the area.
Another Education COMMITTEES
resolution Endorsed q Senate bill al
lowing continuous service credit for
teachers. even if their leave of alb
sence exceeds two years, provided
they have served in the military
forces.
Also Endorsed was the Randolph
