Refusal Of Order
To Raise Steel Pay
Immediately Seen

A demand by the CIO United
Steelworkers for immediate Govern
ment approval of the tentative wage
increase granted 485,000 employees
in 86 basic steel companies has been
turned down pending a report from
the Office Of Price Administration
on the effect of the pay boost on
steel prices, it was indicated today.
CIO President Philip Murray and
a group of associates yesterday con-
ferred with Sterilization Director
Vinson and OPA Administrator
Bowles to urge that the way be
cleared for the WLB wage directive
to be incorporated in a collective
bargaining agreement the union is
seeking to negotiate with the steel
industry.
Report Ready Next Week.
While there was no comment from
Mr.. Vinson afterward, it was said in
an official quarter that ordinarily he
would not act on a matter of the
sort in advance of report from the
OPA. Mr.. Bowles, it was said, told
the union leaders that his agency
would have the report ready by
Thursday or Friday of next week.
When the WLB granted the So
called fringe demands" on Novem-
ber Is 1t was with the expressed
provision that the higher wage
would become effective only after
the OPA had determined that steel
prices would not be affected, or, as
an alternative, that the new wage
scale was approved by Mr.. Vinson.
The steel companies contend they
will need higher prices to offset the
wage increase.
Negotiations Recessed.
Contract negotiations in Pitts
burgh yesterday were recessed pend
ing Government action.
The WLB grants include increased
vacation pay, shift differentials OF 4
and 6 cents an hour for the Afternoon
and night shifts, and a maximum
wage increase of 5 cents an hour to
eliminate reputed inequities.
The steel companies have refused
to incorporate these provisions in a
new contract until the Government
price agencies have acted.

BiIbo Pledges Action to Place
Date in Stock Transfer Bill

tention OF Congress, that some day
there might be a challenge in court.
Corporation Counsel Keech said
that at least for "esthetic purposes
the effective date should be written
into the measure. And Justice De-
partment advisers suggested it would
be surer and safer to take this
|precaution.
At the request of Chairman Bilbo,
therefore, MIR. Keech today submit
ted proposed concurrent resolution
to direct the secretary of the Senate
to write in January as the effec-
tive date.
The measure had been drafted by
private sponsors of the Uniform
Stock Transfer Act, which already
has been adopted by SO States.
There was no opposition in Congress
and the Senate-approved measure
was passed by the House last Mon
day. 1t is designed to protect the

Liquor Ban Referendum
In COTTAGE City SOUGHT

A resolution seeking local refer
endum to ban the sale of hard liquor
in the city limits of Cottage City,
Md, will be presened to the Mary
land General Assembly following its
adoption last night by the Town
Commissioners.
The resolution was drawn by a
citizens organization headed by P
E. Houck, and bears the names of
more than 300 Cottage City resi-
dents.
Mr.. Houck said the organization
is not a dry group, but merely is
seeking to control the sale of liquor
within the town.

Bill Signed 10 Permit
Booking Of Drunken
Trolley Operators

A bill enabling the police to charge
a streetcar operator or bicycle
rider with driving while drunk or
leaving the scene of an accident
was signed by President Roosevelt
today. He also signed bill per-
mittlng servicemen and merchant
marine men holding Washington
driving permits to continue to use
them legally until six months after
the war no matter when the permit
was scheduled to expire
The President also signed a bill
permitting the Commission of
LicenSure to waive until six months
after the war the present require
ment that a doctor must have two
years consecutive medical practice
in another State before obtaining
a license here.
Corporation Counsel Richmond
B. Keech said all the measures have
been pending for some time and
expressed satisfaction at their be-
coming law. Under the Traffic Act
of 1925, through an omission, he
said, operators of streetcars or BIZ
cycles could not be charged with
driving while drunk or under the
influence of drugs nor with hit and
run" accidents.
The permission for veterans to use
their driving licenses for six months
after the war, without renewing
them, he said, was given because so
many veterans overseas have been
unable to send their SO renewal fee
in time.
The discretion given to the Com
mission of Licensure in licensing
doctors temporarily without two
years medical practice should help
alleviate the doctor shortage some
what, Mr.. Keech said. Maintenance
of the quality of the doctors license
still rests with the commission and
will undoubtedly be, carried out to
the public interest, Mr.. Keech said.
The advantage of the looser regu-
lation, he said, is that a medical
student from Duke University, for
example, who has just completed
two years of excellent post graduate
study at Johns Hopkins University
may be given license to practice
here now even though he has not
been in actual practice for the two
previously required years. Many
students have been receiving just
as much practice in hospital course
as they would have in private prac-
tice, Mr.. Keech explained, and
should be licensed during the pres
ent shortage.

Acting on the advice Of bar and
banker association leaders and the
Justice Department, Chairman Bilbo
of the Senate District Committee
today promised early consideration
of an amendment to the uniform
stock transfer bill for the District
to specify the date it would go into
effect.
Due to an oversight, the measure
was speeded through Congress and
sent to the White House for sigma
ture with only blanks left in the
clause fixing the day and year it
was to be effective.
Some legal experts insisted the
courts would construe the intent of
Congress to be that the law was
effective on the day it was signed
by the President, assuming he ap-
proves the measure, but this was
not unanimous. Chairman McCar-
ran of the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee said there was no way of know

Board Of Trade Unit
Suggests Planners
Restudy School Needs
Additional Recreation
Facilities Assured
In New Buildings

Population shifts in the District
and the changed character of many
neighborhoods brought about by war
expansion, may necessitate COM
plete restudy of local public school
needs.
That was suggestion made to the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission yesterday afternoon by
the Board of Trade Committee on
Schools at joint session.
Planning officials will take the
matter under advisement. The busi-
nessmen were assured that all future
school buildings would be provided
with ample recreational facilities
under a policy adopted by the Plan
ming Commission and the District
Recreation Board. Prominent school
officials attended.
New Summer Camp Possible.
A new summer camp may be
turned over soon to the Recreation
Board, the Federal Planning Com
mission announced, in view of the
fact that the Army is preparing to
abandon the CCC camp at Carde-
rock, Md. The commission recon-
mended that the National Park
Service take over the camp when
the Army releases it and make its
facilities available to Washington
children.
In the expectation that the Me-
mortal Stadium Commission will be
appointed soon under terms of re-
Gently enacted legislation, the plan
ming group voted to offer its fullest
cooperation. That means, 1t was
said, information 1t has gathered as
result of years Of study will be
turned over to the new Stadium
Commission If desired.
The Planning Commission had the
benefit of a $4,000 allotment to
study Stadiums in other world capi-
tails and in United States cities and
also to draw up plans for the sug-
gested site at the end of East Capt.
tol street.
Barry Farms Area Study.
The Barry Farms area, a sub
standard community in the South
east section, was studied from a
financial viewpoint as an example
of how community may be made
self-supporting under the proposed
urban redevelopment bill.
At present the community is cost
ing the District government in serv-
ices received about. five times more
than the amount of taxes it pays
BY undermining the area, providing
it with stores and other convent
ences, it was believed taxes would
about balance cost of municipal
services. Max S. Wehrly, city plan
ner, is making this study.
The Planning Commission devoted
some attention to the question of
pollution in the Potomac River,
hearing from John Nolen. director
of planning, a report on the recent
meeting of the Potomac River Basin
Commission in Richmond, Va.
Any plan to improve pollution in
the Potomac-on which large sums
have been spent in recent years
must involve cooperation from Vir-
ginia and Maryland where much of
the source of pollution originates.

journed until January "a. 1945.

Aid for Handicapped
Urged as Way TO End
hanpower Shortage
Rehabilitation Of Disabled
Would Provide Reserve,
House Group Reports

A substantial group" of physically
handicapped unemployed persons
constitutes an important reserve of
efficient workers" to help relieve the
Nations manpower shortage, Con-
gress was informed today.
Urging continued study of means
to speed up rehabilitation and place
ment of disabled men and women in
productive jobs, House Labor Sub
committee reported that In 1943
Federal agencies were able to find
jobs for only 194,129 of 2,500,000
physically handicapped who were
registered for employment.
Million Now Qualified.
It was estimated, the report said,
that 100000 of the NUMBER reg
istered required some form of re-
habilitation to fit them for work in
industry, but that the remaining
100000 were qualified for employ
ment without further training.
The subcommittee, headed by
Representative Kelley, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania, five monthsS ago be-
gan an investigation of aid to the
physically Handicapped, which, it
said, has indicated the need for "a
wide range of legislative action and
reform" 1t recommended, however,
that legislative program await
further study during the next Ses-
sion of Congress.
Employers who are using handi-
capped workers have reported" the
subcommittee said, that these
workers are satisfactory for many
types of work, and in some opera
tions are more productive than per-
sons without handicaps."
Find Negroes Neglected.
Noting that physically handi-
capped Negro children do not seem
to have more than token facilities
of any kind" for education and re-
Mobilization, the subcommittee said
lit had been suggested that facilities
be provided for the education of COL
Iored deaf at Howard University.
1t also recommended study of the
desirab bility of some form of ma
tional disability insurance" under
which any person disabled by blind
ness or other permanent handicap
would receive regular insurance
benefits.
