filed with the Maryland court after
the court had refused to relinquish
them to a United States marshal
who had been sent from Baltimore
with a subpoena. Justice Colds
borough said he had talked to Judge
Stedman Prescott of the Maryland
court and had been told the court
was reluctant to allow the papers to
get out of its hands inasmuch as
Mr.. Langan has filed an appeal from
the order which gave Miss Manners
custody of the child.
During the last week, little Joan

Congress Is Sent Bill
To Boost Salaries
In Fire Department
Measure Puts 3 Ranks
On Equal Pay Level
With Police Officers

Salaries of captains, lieutenants
and sergeants in the District Fire
Department would be increased to
the basic pay levels of comparable
officers in the Metropolitan police
force under proposed bill for
warded to Congress yesterday by the
Commissioners.
The proposal, referred to the
House District Committee, would
boost the pay of fire captains by
5000 to $500 year, lieutenants by
$2l0 to $3,505 and sergeants by $3.50
to $2,750 year.
Commissioner Young advised
Speaker Rayburn there appeared no
reason for the present differentials.
that civil service requirements for
the services were the same and that
the lower pay levels for these ranks
in the Fire Department put it at a
disadvantage with the police force.
THE Fire Department has an out
standing record and undoubtedly
the leadership of its officers has
played an important role in devel-
oping and maintaining the depart
ment at its present level of efi-
ciency," said Commissioner Young.
"The salaries of all officers above
the rank of captain and the salaries
of privates in both departments are
comparable,
Civil service requirements relat-
ing to appointments and promotion
are identical for both of the pro-
tective forces, and the salary in
equality which exists at the pres
ent time tends to operate adversely
to the Fire Department, inasmuch
as applicants are drawn to the de-
partment presenting the most IA
vorable promotion advantages"
The number of men under the
direct supervision of Fire Depart
ment officers is not equal to that in
the Police Department, but a study
of man-hours shows such fire OH
cials are in supervisory work 54
hours a week, as against 48 in the
police force, Commissioner Young
explained.

gotten along for $50 years without
such a law: why should we have to
have it now?"
Representative Rankin, Democrat
of Mississippi asserted a business
extending credit should find out who
is getting the credit and should not
have to use the Federal Government
as collection agency"
Representative Randolph. Demo-
crat, Of West Virginia, chairman of
the House District Committee and
ranking majority member of the
Civil Service Committee, said he
feared the bill would set a precedent
that perhaps would lead to attach
ment of pension and other contract
obligations of the Government.
Challenge Issued.
On the other side, Representative
Smith, Republican, of Ohio issued
challenge on the point of the
first" duty of government was en-
forcement of contract obligations.
Representative Sauthoff, of Wiscon-
sin asked why "deadbeAts" should
be given special protection, and
Representative Mason, Republican,
of Illinois asked why, if Govern
ment workers were intelligent
enough to get and keep Government
jobs, they should have to be given
special treatment to enable them to
take care of their own affairs.
Representative Hoffman, Republi-
can, of Michigan said it didn't make
sense to permit Government work
ers ito escape payment of all their
debts" and that if credit buying
were an evil why don't We put a
ban on credit extension?"
Representative Dies, Democrat, of
