Banks Crowded
As bond|,oIders
Cash Securities
New Treasury Plan
Spurs Redemption;
OffieioIs Deny Alarm

A steady stream Of War Bond
holders poured through District
banks yesterday to take advantage
of the Treasury's new policy per-
mitting banks to cash bonds, It was
reported today by Sidney Taliaferro,
president Of the District Bankers
Association and vice president Of the
Riggs National Bank.
Mr.. Taliaferro said redemptions
on the first day under the new sys-
tenn were fairly considerable, but
added that 1t was too early to tell
what the new arrangement will
mean"
Bankers throughout the city gen.
orally reported that most OF the
bonds cashed were Of the $25 de-
nomination. Tellers said that bond
holders gave q variety OF reasons
for redeeming their securities
emergency hospital bills, buying Of
homes, purchases Of bonds under
pressure to meet quotas during war
loan drives when they could not
afford them.
Few Admit Curiosity.
A few Of the investors told tellers
frankly they came In to cash their
bonds merely to see II the money
was really available. Others said
they misunderstood the new policy
to mean that they had to cash their
securities instead Of holding them
to maturity, as the Treasury has
constantly urged.
The banks are now authorized to
cash bonds in A, B, c, d and E
series.
Undersecretary Of the Treasury
Daniel w. Bell said reports from
other parts of the country indicated
long lines were formed at some
banks as investors cashed their
bonds, but he said the Treasury
received no alarming reports"
Mr.. Bell attributed the heavy busi-
ness to the fact that many persons
waited until yesterday to cash bonds
they normally would have turned in
last week. Until yesterday. investors
had to wait week or two before
they received their money from the
Treasury through the mail.
Mr.. Bell said he believed there
would be a slight increase In re-
demptions for week or two, after
which they would level OF to the
usual rate. Secretary Of the Treas
ury Morgenthau has urged bond
holders not to turn in their securi-
ties except for emergencies.
Newspapers Are Praised.
Meanwhile, newspapers were lay
ishly praised by another officer OF
the Treasury for their consistent aid
In promoting War Bond sales during
the five loan drives. The gratitude
Of the Treasury was expressed by
I'd r. Gamble, director OF the War
nance Division, in statement to
F. e. Trip of the Allied Newspaper
Council, during the observance Of
National Newspaper Week.
MIR. Gamble said the Nations
papers had published total OF
S89, ,623 advertisements. with a value
OF 3l!2lS,760 during the last foui
drives and that a total of 77,0O0,-
600 IN advertising had been devoted
to the sale Of bonds since they were
first offered in May. 1941. In addi-
ton. he said, 168, ,244, ,463 lines o1
news and editorial comment haG
been used for the last four drives
He also thanked business firms
for their part In assisting the War
Bond advertising CAMPAIGNS.

Downey Advocates
Raise, Severance Pa
For Federal Workers
Boost Of IS Per Cent
With True Overtime
Rote Is Proposed

"A oooSt VI at iedSI 10 per cent
In the basic pay of all salaried
employees Of the Government, along
with 90-day severance pay plan
and adoption of q permanent and
true" time-and-one-half rate fol-
overtime. was advocated last night
by Chairman Downey of the Senate
Civil Service Committee.
He announced he would place the
three-point program before his COM
mittee Immediately on the recon-
vening Of Congress November IA
"aS matter of fairness to Gov
ernment workers and to prevent a
high rate q turnover that would
interfere seriously with the wal
program"
The California Senator declared
the basic pay increase was needed
by Government salaried workers to
meet the increased cost of living.
He said aside from adjustments In
the lower grades, there had been no
increase In basic rates for salaried
Federal employees since July, 1880,
or for postal employees since Febru-
airy, 1925.
Need Generally Recognized.
Throughout the war period" he
said, there has been q general
recognition that private employees
should be granted is per cent pay
increases over basic rates as OF
January 1, 1941, in order to allow
for increases in cost of living.
To-day there seems to he q grow
ing recognition of the fact that these
increases should be permitted to ex-
coed Is per cent. Under existing
laws, as these adjustments are
made for private employees, COM
parable adjustments are made for
Federal workers who are paid on an
hourly or daily basis, and those
whose rates are fixed by wage
boards.
"Salaried Federal employees are in
identically the same position as
those employees whose rates of pay
have been adjusted, insofar as the
cost of living is concerned, and
there certainly would appear to be
no reason why they should not be
granted a pay increase OF at least
Is per cent"
Proposes Compromise.
Senator Downey said he was pro-
posing 90-day severence pay for all
Federal workers dropped because
of reduction in staff, in lieu OF
the proposal to bring Federal en-
ployes under unemployment COM
pensation. He said he still favored
the unemployment compensation
plan, but if Congress was unwilling
to grant the Federal worker such
protection, it should provide 90-day
severance pay.
AS to his third point, Senator
Downey said the Overtime Pay Act
does not provide genuine time-and-
one-half compensation for salaried
workers. He proposed that before
this act expires next June 30
Congress extend the overtime pay
system as a permanent part Of the
Governments policy and provide fol-
payment of true" time-and-one-
half for those compelled to work
over 40 hours a week.

that 1t failed to make a distinr,
separation Of legislative and execu-

Selection Of Manaxer.
Dean Hayden asserted that the
charter government is designed to
provide larger measure of real
home rule for the people of Mont

that the county manager would be
selected by the County Council fol
his administrative ability, and tina,
he would "act as the general man.
ager for county business without
regard to political consideration and
with the sole eye for good job on
an economical basis, and could moi
be fired by the County Council"
Mr.. Morgan, a member of the
Montgomery Housing Authority
called the lack of compensation fol
members OF the County Council a

and dangerous" He said persons
able to accept such Offices would be
relatively rich persons or those who

He declared the charter affects few
elective Offices, but sets up q bu
reaucracy and provides for many
departments. He pointed to the
confusion" he said would be in.

Mr.. Morgan said that once the
