TunneII Asks Boost
For Low-Income Glass
Ey the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
A weekly salary of $50 provides
"a very narrow margin of living"
for the American worker in war,
time, Senator Tunnel, Republican,
of Delaware, said last night in urg-
ing higher pay for white-collar
workers.
Senator Tunnel said further in
creases in living costs without
higher wages would be disastrous
for the hite-collar class in a radio
address.
Salary increases would not bring
imitation, he said, because 1t is gen.
orally recognized that imitation is
brought on by overspending on the
part OF those who have more money
than they need for the essentials
OF life, and not by the purchases
of necessities by those who are not
receiving enough to reach, much
less to cross, the cost living line ,
A Senate subcommittee investi-
eating living standards of white
collar workers found, Senator Tun-
nell said, that 20,00o,0oo Americans
have received salary increases below
the most conservative estimate OF
the wartime rise in cost of Living
The hardships upon this class oi
workers are greater than those
borne by any other group" he
declared.

the money to build one, he said.

Ickes Discourages
Hope OF Motorists 10
Get More Gasoline
BY the Associated Press.

pS lile hSSOCldteQ tTeSS.
Heavy military demand elimi-
mates any possibility of increasing
the civilian gasoline quota at this
time, Petroleum Administrator
Ickes said yesterday.
Despite temporary advanta-
geous' supply situation in the East,
said Mr.. Ickes, any increase in At
lantic Coast allotments could come
only from deeper and inequita-
ble' cut in the supply of other parts
of the country.
Deputy Petroleum Administrator
Ralph K. Davies said that in view
of this situation, any changes the
Office of Price Administration might
make in gasoline rations must be
such that the total consumption by
areas will not exceed the quantities
already allocated.
Mr. Ickes said that while oil pro-
duction is at an all-time high in
the United States, military re-
quirements also are unprecedented
running 81 per cent of gasoline
production.
Mr.. Davies said it is inevitable
that rumors will crop up that the
Petroleum Administration for War
is holding back plentiful supply
OF gasoline and that rationing is
unnecessary. He added
IF we were to decide to cut the
l,5O0, ,000-barrel melon representing
the difference between present gaso-
line stocks and minimum working
levels, this melon, distributed in
proportion to present uses to every
motorist over period of IL months,

Progress in Solving
|0f Social Problems

With War-connected problems and
service-incurred disabilities taking
up the bulk of its cases, the Social
Hygiene Society of the District of
Columbia in its annual report yes
terday took hopeful view of the
ability of the District to cope with
its social problems and declared
that while ethical principles were
very badly bent, they had not as
yet broken down"
The society reported that pros
titution had declined, that there
had been definite progress in ham
ding juvenile delinquency, that
there had been improvement both
in quality and quantity in public
school teaching of social hygiene
and that in the reactivated GAL
linger Hospital, Washington's Health
Department had one of the rank
ing centers in the United States
for the rapid treatment of venereal
diseases.
Discussing the venereal disease
problem, the report stated that Or.
George C. Rutland, District health
officer, has built up an effective,
integrated venereal disease control
program in which the Bureaus of
Infant and Maternal Welfare,
Nursing and Laboratory all amplify
the work of the Bureau of Venereal
Disease"
In the matter of commercialized
prostitution. the report said that
steady police pressure and better
teamwork of courts prosecutors and
police have produced a notable i'm
provement here in the past year."
The District, it was stated. is now
numbered among the Nation S
cleaner communities. The anna
teur "pickups" or victory girls"
however, was another matter which
had not yet been solved.
Special praise was paid the study
on juvenile delinquency by the Dis
trict Public Schools Special Com
mittee, with Mrs. Henry Grattan
Doyle as chairman, which found
that better sex education was vital
factor in preventing delinquency.
Washington" the report added,
has made real strides towards Sc
curing a more wholesome atmos-
phere for its growing youth"
