More Car-Sharinq
ASKED Even After
Increase Is Granted

District ONCE of Price Admins
tration officials warned today that
any increase in gasoline rations
would not be the signal to relax
car-sharing here.
Rather, they indicated, an in
creased ration would merely pro-
vide broader basis for the share
the-ride program. The need, they
said, will be at least as great as it
is today for long time to come as
the war against the japanese shifts
into high gear.
approximately .116,071 persons
now travel to and from work in
District car pools. They are carried
by 37,086 Beard holders who OBJ
tanned extra gas rations for home
to-work travel by agreeing to
"share-the-ride." Those drivers
carry an average of 81 riders per
car.
District OPA officials are pleased
with the car-pool program as far
as 1t goes. However, an additional
Is, ,839 persons have B and c rations
who are not obligated to participate
in car sharing because their rations
are for 'in-course-of-work" driving
OPA oficials admitted that If
more persons would offer "pickups"
to crowds waiting on loading plat
forms, needed relief would be pro-
vded for Washington's heavily over
burdened buses and streetcars.
Frequent criticism is heard on the
number Of cars on the streets at
morning and evening work hours in
which the driver is the sole oc-
cupant. OPA officials said its
policy is to encourage holders Of all
types of gas rations-A, B. c and
even special rations-to offer rides
whenever they can.
Charles K. Davies, District OPA
rationing executive, said that "the
great need for conservation of gas
oline, tires and automobiles will
continue until new cars are availa-
ble in considerable quantities"
Terming car sharing "the best
single means of car conservation, u
Mr.. Davies said, it is incumbent on
every person driving his car to and
from work to continue his car club

OF the Commissioners to enable the

of the United States Public Health
Service as superintendent Of GAL
linger Municipal Hospital without
endangering his retirement status as
a Federal employe after such Dis

Under this plan, the retired

s. Pay Raise
Bill Adoption
Seen This Month
Passed by Senate,
Legislation Now Goes
To House Committee
By JOSEPH YOUNG.

Enactment Of Federal pay legisla.
ton by the end Of the month ap-
peared almost certain today after
Senate passage late yesterday Of q
bill providing an overall 158 per cent
wage increase for Government en-
ployes plus accelerated within-grade
promotions and q 10 per cent pay
dinerential for nightworkers.
The Senate bill now goes to the
House, where probably 1t viii be re-
ferred to the House Civil Service
Subcommittee, now holding hearings
on similar legislation.
Hearings End Today.
The House hearings are scheduled
to end today, and Representative
Jackson, Democrat, of Washington,
chairman Of the subcommittee, said
the group would hold an executive
session early next week. He said he
expected bill would be reported
out at that time.
Sentiment among members of the
House group appears to favor in gen.
eral provisions of the Senate bill.
However, 1t is considered likely that
the House group will vote true time
and-a-half overtime, instead of fol-
lowing the Senate's lead in retaining
the present time and a twelfth
overtime rate.
The Senate passed the bill by q
voice vote, after voting down an
amendment offered by Senator
LANCER, Republican, Of North
Dakota, which would have granted
60-day maternity leaves to women
in Government service for 10
months or longer.
Hear Union Officials.
During yesterdays House Com
mittee session, representatives Of
Government employees unions ap-
peared to urge that basic wage in
creases of Is per cent be granted to
meet the increased cost OF living.
Federal workers have not received
basic wage increases since the be-
ginning OF the war.
Committee members expressed
doubt. however, that the War Labor
Board would approve anything
greater than is per cent increases,
as provided under the Little Steel"
formula.
Appearing before the committee
were James B. Burns, president Of
the American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees, AFL, and Donald
Murray, acting legislative director
Of the CIO.

naval interpreter who boasted in
his diary of beheading an Allied
prisoner and also is accused of de-

The interpreter, Kenneth Yunone,

Yunone was captured April 25

move headquarters OF the Rural

resentatives, they were notified to-
day.
Both Representatives Sullivan and
Cochran, Democrats. had written
the President asking him to keep
the REA Office in st. Louis where it
was moved shortly after the war
started to make room for war
agencies in the Capital.
Mr.. Sullivan wrote Mr.. Truman
that employees had settled there, had
become part of the city, that st.
Louis was more accessible to all REA
co-operatives than was Washington,
that the city had adequate hotel and
transportation facilities and that St.
Louis did not want to give. up the
offices.
Matt Connally, secretary to the
President. replied that Mr.. Truman
believed the REA headquarters
should be in Washington and ac-
cessible to members of Congress. He
added the President is going to move
the agency back to Washington lust

Mr.. Sullivan told a reporter he
has been informed that space already
has been provided in the Agriculture

Admiral William II. Standley, for
mer chief of naval operations and
later Ambassador to Russia, was ex-
pected to be elected commander in
chief of the Military Order Of the
World Wars today. as the orders
two-day annual convention In
Washington drew to a close. ere4g
The convention, which marked the
orders silver anniversary, was to
close this afternoon after the elec-
tion with a reception for newly
elected officers at the Mayf1ower
Hotel.
Yesterday, at its silver ami
versary luncheon, local chapter
members. past commanders in chief
of the order and 80 out-of town
delegates were told by Admiral Ern-
est j. King that the only defense
against atomic attacks which would
be worthwhile, in the light of pres
ent knowledge, would be a strike
at the source of an enemys wea-
pons.
Recalls vi Bombings.
The defense through offense was
proven the only one worthwhile
during the vi and Va bomb at
tacks on Great Britain, Admiral
King said. The attacks continued
until Allied armies had captured
the launching sites.
Until this country's knowledge of
atomic energy progresses further
than at present, he said, the United
States should hold and develop the
weapons = now has. He likened
our prese at knowledge of atomic
energy Il the knowledge of North
America possessed by our early Co
lonial a icestors. We know nothing
of the Mississippi Valley, Rocky
Mounts ins and Pacific Coast" of
atomic power. he said.
His plea for retaining and de-
veloping our present naval and
military power was sharpened by
a quotation he attributed to his
Cornish grandfather: Don't dispose
OF your dirty water until you're
sure you're going to get clean"
Tells of Experiments.
He said the Navy is experimenting
to discover the surface and under
water effects of atomic explosions
on naval formations, but that so
far experiments are incomplete.
Yesterday delegation from the
convention presented President Tru-
man the insignia of Honorary Com
mander in Chief of the order. Mr..
Truman, long a member of the
Kansas City chapter. also was pre-
sented life membership by the
Kansas City delegation to the con-
vention.
Resolutions were passed yester-
day supporting universal military
training and advocating that per-
sons honorably discharged from
military service be forever exempt
from joining any organization as a
condition of employment.
