In Big Raid on Tokyo

A record number of 119 japanese
planes were shot down by American
Super Fortresses during their raid
last Saturday on the Tokyo area, the

day.
Meanwhile, it was announced that
good results" were obtained by the
raid on Two Jima-Japanese island

carried out by Saipan- based B-29's

furnishing the main islands with in
formation that raiders are on the
way, but even mounting attacks
against the Super Fortress home
fields.

Federal Wage Study
Launched by House
|CiviI Service Unit

The House Civil Service Com
mittee today launched its study OF
the Federal wage structure as re-
Iquested by President Roosevelt, fol-
lowing an appropriation Of $4,000
voted it yesterday-less than one
half of the sum sought.
Chairman Ramspeck originally
had asked for $4,000, but Chair
man Cochran of the Committee on
Accounts recommended that the
figure be reduced more than hall
in the interests of economy.
In addition, however, the Civil
Service Committee will be permitted
to use the $4,000 unexpended bal
ance Of the $84,500 voted the COM
mittee during the Seventy eighth
Congress. The total will be about
$43, 900.
Mr.. Cochran favored continuing
the civil service investigation, but
said in view of the fact that it cost
approximately $71,OO0 during the
past two years, the appropriation
this year should not be as large.
The money will be available for
conducting the studies and investi-
cation, including expenditures fol
the employment of clerical, steno-
graphic and other assistants.
Recommendation for base pay
raises for Government employees in
line with the Little Steel formula
lis expected to be made to Congress
following completion of the investi-
eating units studies.

Tires for District Cars
Reduced 28q6 10 HeIp
Meet Army Demands

A sharp cut in new passenger tires
has been ordered by the Office OF
Price Administration for February
as military demands for rubber
grow.
Washington will take a % per
cent cut below January, allowing
civilian motorists only 4,012 tires
during February. The January
quota for the District was 5,699
tires.
The national quota for February
is 100000 tires, a reduction of 300
900 from January and 100000 from
last December.
OPA predicts that tires for civil
ians will remain in short supply as
long as heavy military demand
exists.
THE reduced passenger car tire
quotas again point up the vital i'm
portance of prompt recapping and
repairs" Max Mccullough, deputy
administrator in charge of ration
ing, declared
Small-size truck and bus tires for
the District next month will be 648

Slight Rise Is Noted
In Basic Living Costs

Secretary of Labor Perkins today
reported rise of ree-tenths of
per cent in prices of living essentials
between mid-November and mid

She attributed the increase to sea-
sonal advances in the prices of
fresh fruits and vegetables and con-
tinued scarcity of low-price textiles.

Labor Statistics index of living costs
of moderate income families stood
at 1913 per cent of the 1858
average, 81 per cent above a year
earlier.
The Labor Department says the
index covers 10 per cent of the
expenditures Of families that had
incomes from $3.50 to $4,000 in
