The detail of the annual payroll
revision is so heavy he cannot pre-
dict the exact date when the per
diem summer teachers will get paid
Mr.. Holt said. He indicated his
office and the District auditor will
each need at least a week after
classes stop, August 6, to get checks
prepared and mailed
E. j. Lockwood, in charge OF
about $50 white teachers, said that
rs per cent of them agreed to the
single pay check. Clarence Lewis
head of 98 colored teachers, said
that 81 of them voted for the single
check and Al asked for the two

Mr.. Lockwood said some of his
teachers had complained they had
agreed to one check but did not like
the anticipated delay in getting it.

Two Marines Arrested
After Fights Involving
Manned GI, Civilians

Two Marines are in custody of
Navy authorities today as a result
of arguments in which a one-legged
soldier and two civilians. one II
years old, became involved
The first argument arose early to-
day in Thompson's Restaurant, 1109
Pennsylvania avenue NV, police
reported. The soldier, whose name
was not taken, was sitting at a table
with four women, police said, when
Pfc. Robert SalyerS. "a, of the Ma
rine Barracks, Twenty third street
and Constitution avenue, ap-
preached and allegedly started to
annoy the women.
After the soldier demonstrated
police quoted Salyers as saying: IF
you had another leg, I'd beat the
hell out of you"
About that time. police said, a
civilian, Leonard w Nuckels. 81. OF
416 Queen street, Alexandria, told
Salyers to leave, and the Marine
started to fight with Mr.. Salyers
and bit his right ear. Mr.. Nuckels
was treated at Emergency Hospi-
tai, and Salyers was arrested and
charged at No. precinct with may
hem.
He later was remanded to custody
of naval authorities. The one-legged
soldier was said to be patient at
Walter Reed Hospital.
The second alteration occurred
in Mack's Tavern, COL Pennsylvania
avenue Sc, police said. Pvt. jeff
Davis, said to be stationed at Ma
rine Barracks, Washington Navy
Yard, entered and was refused serv-
ice because he was alleged to be
in an intoxicated condition. accord

The Marine became angry and

ern, tried to talk to the Marine,
police said Davis pushed Mr.. Reed
to floor Davis then grabbed a
chair and hurled it at the bar, but
it was caught in midair by an un-
identified soldier, police said. The
soldier then hurled the Marine
through a swinging door to the
street, and the police, who had ar
rived, arrested Davis and turned
him over the Shore Patrol

Delayed by Commissioners

After conference with Corpora
ton Counsel Richmond B. Keech,
the Commissioners today postponed
any action to make possible better
enforcement OF their dog g-leashing
proclamation.
The proclamation. ordering all
dogs to be on leash, went into effect
yesterday, but most of the unleashed

Keech, police have power of prose-

civilians are not permitted to trade

to civilians last month and thus
followed an example set by the
Army in April, 1914.
The -order, apparently applied tc
installations outside the United
States, where civilians have been
known to have access to exempt
smokes, the Navy said. In this
country, Navy personnel is rationed
to six packs week and each de-
pendent is entitled to the same ra-
ton, it was explained.
Under the new Navy ruling, ships
service stores where civilian workers
are permitted to trade, will buy both

from distributors. Civilian employees

was sent behind Jap lines at night
into the jungle to set flare-pots
paving the way for other pilots to
land and hack out an airf1eld in
the clearing. The plan was for
eight Ghurkas to protect him as
he went down the dark field.
The flyer kept going down the
field, placing the flares. In the
dark. he saw strange shapes, all of
them looking like Japs. One time
he was sure a Jap was standing be-
fore him. He called to his Ghurkas.
Ready to Shoot.
1--WE never heard such a terrific
silence before" he said. There were
the Ghurkas, over at another corner
of the field, pushing the glider in
which they landed into the brush.
The figure was fortunately an ap-
partition and 1t. Coogan success
fully placed his flares The field, he
noted in passing, was later built in
six and half hours work.
