Gromek Again Beats Yanks.

CLEVELAND. Aug. II (P. - The
New York Yankees met up with old
jinx again today, and as a result
went down to a 5-3 defeat at the
hands of Steve Gromek and the
Cleveland Indians.
1t was Gromek's fifth straight win
over the YANKEES without a defeat
this season and his 14th in all
against six defeats.
The Indians scored all their runs
in the first inning at the expense of
Starter Walt Dubiel, who was pum-
melled off the mound without re-
tiring batter. A triple by Butch
Meyer, single by Pat Seerey and
a double by Lou Boudreau together
with couple of walks finished
Dubiel
Joe Page and Ken Holcombe, who
followed Dubiel on the mound for
the Yankees, pitched air-tight relief
ball, but it was wasted as the
Yankees could get but six hits of
Gromek
Page batted in the first two
Yankee runs with a single in the
second inning, and Bud Metheny
accounted for the last New York
tally with his sixth homer in the
third inning.

Alexandra Council Ignores
Experts on Firehouse Site

Overriding the recommendation
of the National Association Of Fire
Underwriters and of Fire Chief
James M. Duncan, jr.. the Alexan-
dria City Council last night re-
affirmed its decision to abandon a
Cameron Mills road site for the
city's new fire station and directed
City Manager Carl Budwesky to
negotiate for the purchase of a tract
on the north side of Braddock road
east Of Windsor avenue for the new
station.
Residents Of the Cameron Mills
road area previously had opposed a
station there, asserting it would
create traffic hazard dangerous to
children attending the school on
that street and constitute a
nuisance to the Trinity Methodist
and Westminster Presbyterian
Churches.
Last week the council authorized
a survey by the National Associa-
ton of Fire Underwriters which had
recommended the Cameron Mills
road site after a survey in 1941. AL
though the report was presented
last night stating that the original
site was the only logical one for
the protection of the northwest Sec
ton Of the city, the council ignored
the recommendation and ordered
the purchase Of the new site.

that the Army truck apparently left
the highway and struck the pole,
breaking it of and dropping the
electric wires among II or Is Ger
mans being carried back to their

Maryland u. President Agrees
On Anti Semitic Charge Inquiry
Stote Professors Group Denies Plan to Probe
5-Point Allegation Made in College Paper

Asserting he doubts charges of ra-
cial discrimination recently brought
by Jewish student at the Univer-
sity of Maryland. DR.. H. c. Byrd,
university president, today said he
would not object to an investiga-
ton by the Maryland Chapter OF
the American Association of Uni
versity Professors.
The Maryland chapter, however,
denied that it had agreed to in
vestigate the five points presented
to 1t Monday in a resolution, al
though it was reported yesterday by
DR.. Peter Oesper, assistant professor
Of chemistry at the university, that
favorable action on the resolution
was taken by the Executive Com
mittee OF the chapter. The denial
Of the investigation plans was, made
by DR.. Adolph Fucker, past presi-
dent of the chapter and an Execu-
tive Committee member.
Commenting on the charges, anti
Semitism being among them, made
by Daniel Nitzberg. 22-year-old
Jewish senior, in a letter published
in the college paper. the Diamond
back, DR.. Byrd said the anti-Semit-
ism charge has some justification
in the fact the interfraternity coun-
Gil has refused to allow membership
to Jewish fraternities.
Termed Student Activity.
DR.. Byrd added, however, that
this is purely under student control,
MY own attitude is that the atti-
tude is wrong and that the Jewish
fraternity should be admitted to
membership in the interfraternity
council" the president said.
Two years ago we almost had
this accomplished when two or three
young men, who felt they knew
better how to achieve the desired
results, decided to force matters to
an immediate issue. A disagreeable
fight followed with the result that
in a general student election the
Jewish fraternity lost by a large
margin.
Situation Held Explained.
IT carefully explained this situa-
tion to certain people. stating that I
would continue to work to attain
membership for the Jewish fra
ternity, but that this membership
would have to come through invita-
ton rather than through force.
Neither the university admins
tration nor the faculty seeks to exert
control over these matters except to
teach students to work out their
problems, subject to such advice
and guidance as the administration
and faculty may be able to give"

HouseUnit Plans
ToApproveU.S 5.
Pay RaiseBi|
Provisions Expected
To Follow Measure
Passed by Senote
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

Members Of the House Civil Serv-
Ice Subcommittee reached agree
ment today to report out favorably
the bill providing basic wage in
creases for Government employees.
The bill will not be oficially re-
ported to the House until the early
part Of next week in order that the
conferees might reach final agree
ment on all the various provisions
of the omnibus pay measure.
Although details of the commit
tees bill will not be made public
until then, it is understood that
the provisions will closely follow
those of the. bill passed by the
Senate last week.
The Senate measure provided an
overall basic wage increase of 1873
per cent for Federal workers, with
lower salaried employees getting a
greater percentage of the increase.
Representative jackson, Democrat,
Of Washington, chairman of the
House committee considering the
bill, has indicated that the group
will adopt this feature of the Sen
ate measure.
In addition, the House committee
is expected to follow the Senate's
lead in providing a 10 per cent pay
differential for night Federal en-
ployes, and to allow for accelerated
within-grade promotions for Gov
ernment workers.
There is strong possibility, how
ever, that the House bill may be
more generous to Government en-
ployes as far as overtime compen-
sation is concerned. Although the
Senate voted to retain present over
time provisions calling for time
and-a-twelfth payment, members of
OF the House committee have indi-
Gated that they would vote to in
clude regular time-and- half rates
for Federal employees.
An estimated 250,0 900 Government
workers here would benefit from the
legislation, including some 5000 Dis
trict government employees who
come under the Classification Act.
