brought up the subject because he had read in a newspaper that Gearhart had said someone from the Boise sighted the Japanese fleet
 If there's an eyewitness in the world we ought to have one," he said.
 Richardson Called
 Barkley thanked Inglis and Thie- len for their diligence" in prepar- ing the historical record of the at- tack and praised their "distin- guished careers" in service.
 The two Witnesses-Who had been testifying since the hearing opened Thursday-were then excused. Admiral J. O. Richardson, conn mander in chief of the Pacific Fleet until he was succeeded by Kimmel in February, l94l. was called to the stand at 2:57 p. m. Richardson gave his full name as James Otto Richardson and said he was graduated from the Naval Academy in 1902. He said his rank was Admiral, U. s. Navy, retired.
 He said that between 1902 and 1905 he spent one year in the south ern Philippines and the balance on the China coast and in Japan. Marked Another Attack Richardson said he was in Yoko- hama when the Russo-Japanese war was initiated by a surprise attack" on the Russian fleet at Port Ar thur.
 After sketching his career he said he was commander-in-chief Of the fleet in l940-4l.
 On Jan. 5, l94l, he received a Secret code dispatch" informing him he would be relieved on Feb. l, he said.
 The fleet then was reorganized and Kimmel became commander of the Pacific Fleet.
 File Put on Record
 On Feb. IA, he left Honolulu to become member of the Navy gen. eral board.
 Mitchell began the questioning. c. Who was chief of naval oper- ations while you were commander of the fleet? A. Admiral Harold R. | Stark.
 Q. When you assumed command was it of the Atlantic or the Pacific fleet? A. There was a portion of the fleet serving in the Atlantic and a detachment serving in Hawaiian waters known as the Hawaiian de- | tachment.
 Q. Were you located on the Pa- cific coast? A. All the fleet in the Pacific was assigned into the U. S. fleet.
 Richardson said he understood his assignment in Hawaii to be tenn porary.
 Pertinent Letters Failed Mitchell put into the record file of correspondence between Rich- ardson and Admiral Stark. Mitchell said the letters were those he considered pertinent to the inquiry" Richardson said that when he re- leived Rear Admiral Claude C. Bloch as fleet commander he found quite little official business" had been conducted in personal corre- spondence.
 So, he explained, 1t was necessary for him to write Stark for informa- ton he needed. He didn't want that to happen to his successor, he added so he handed these letters on to Kimmel.
 He said he destroyed most of the other letters not turned over to Kimmel.

Bratcher 10 Decide Today
On Draft Evasion AppeaI

The Fourth United States Circuit
Court of Appeals at Richmond, Va,
yesterday affirmed a four-year pris-
on sentence and a $1,000 fine i'm
posed on Everett M. "Washie"
Bratcher, Washington band leader,
by the Federal Court in Alexandria
on charges of using drugs to evade
the draft.
Milton Kramer, who represented
Bratcher before the Appellate Court,
said he planned a conference with
his client today to determine If a
further appeal will be sought.
In its decision, the court held that
Bratcher had been given an impair
tial trial in Alexandria on charges
that he used benzedrine to simulate
chronic high blood pressure before
reporting for pre-induction physi-
cal examination at the Fort Myer
induction station.
Bratcher, now free on $4,000 bond,
has 10 days in which to note an ap-
peal before being taken into custody
by the Alexandria court for admis-
sion to prison.

in Federal Court at Alexandria to
recover from the George D. Horn

mended as a client Mrs. Margaret

I 10 70 Per Cent PAY
Increases Approved
By Senate Committee
By JOSEPH YOUNG.

The Senate Civil Service Commit
tee has approved Federal pay-raise
legislation providing for increases
ranging from to 20 per cent for
Government employees, in which the
lower income workers get a greater
percentage of the boost.
Providing for an overall wage
boost of 1873 per cent, the bill would
cost the Government an annual in
crease of 1891, 900 900 in basic wages.
The bill will be reported out to the
Senate Friday, Chairman Downey
said.
Reaching agreement on the legis-
lation late yesterday after two day.
long executive sessions, the commit
tee provided graduated boosts tor
workers in the 1000 to $4,000 a year
level. In the original bill offered by
Senator Downey a fiat Is per cent
increase was provided for all en-
ployes. regardless of salary.
Kill Overtime Clause.
At the same time, the committee
voted to kill the regular time -and-a-
half overtime provisions of Senator
Downey's bill and retain present
time-and-a-twelfth overtime stand
ards. The committee struck out,
however, present provisions which
guarantee Government workers a
$500 annual overtime minimum pay
ment.
Following is the new salary scale
as provided under the Senate COM
mittee's bill, not including overtime !:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-05-10

IL was pointed out that although
overtime provisions haven't been
raised, increased basic salaries would
mean greater overtime pay, too.
More for Nightwork.
The committee adopted provisions
Of Senator Downey's bill providing
for a 10 per cent pay differential
for night Government workers. 1t
also approved a provision accelerat-
ing promotions, cutting the 80 and
ID months waiting periods to 10
and IL months.
A Sc per cent increase to legis-
lative and judicial employees was
voted by the committee. At pres
ent these employees receive 1876 per
cent payment above their basic SAL
aries in lieu of overtime.
+ Senator Downey said the pay pro-
visions of the bill had been written
to conform to the Little Steel
formula. Committee members hope
for Senate passage of the bill within
the next two weeks.

tee starts hearings on similar legis-
lation next Tuesday.

Juvenile Court
Cases Increase
1871 Over 1913
3,450 Are Handled,
With Largest Group
!" In 15-17-Yeur Class

The number of juvenile delin-
quents Who came in contact with
Juvenile Court in 1914 showed an
increase of 279 per cent over the
l943 figure, according to the annual
report of the District Juvenile Court,
which was Sent to Congress today
by President Truman.
The number of cases of Juvenile
delinquents handled in 1914 totaled
$3.50, as compared to 1888 in 1913.
In addition to the delinquency cases,
there were PIT cases of dependent
children handled by the court last
year, making an overall total of 8 ,667
children under guidance of the court
during the last year. This was the
largest number of cases handled by
the court in any one year.
OF the delinquent cases, 3,O45 were
boys and 405 girls. The largest
group was in the 15-17-year- old class,
with 2,0ll, or So per cent of the
total. There were 1874 cases of chill
dren under 10.
Stealing Cases Lead.
Stealing brought more boys be-
fore court, while sex delinquency
and ungovernability were the big
gest problems among girls. There
were l 1897 cases of stealing recorded,
1888 cases of carelessness, 600 traffic
violations, 249 cases of ungovernable
minors, 134 cases of injury to person,
100 cases of truancy and q cases Of
sex delinquents.
The cases of stealing included de-
grees from HOUSEKEEPING and auto
mobile stealing to theft of dime store
articles. Carelessness included such
offenses as operating a shoe shine
stand without a license, tresspassing
and disturbance
Recommendations in the report
included a strong plea for a new
receiving home for children, recent
ly discussed in a series of articles
in The Star, and in Senate and
House committee hearings.
THE receiving home for children
gives gross inadequate service. Chill
dren are being detained there in
impossible surroundings and very
detrimental conditions" the report
said. The report also requested ad-
ditional facilities for colored juve-
nile delinquents, declaring that
many were kept at the receiving
home as long as two months be-
cause of lack of housing.
Ask More Probation Officers.
A request for nine more proba-
ton officers in the juvenile depart
ment, four probation officers in the
adult department and an additional
supervisor also was made. The re-
port also strongly urged a contin-
uance of the guidance clinic which
opened in october, 1913.
The rise in delinquency may
reflect the increased restlessnss Of
older adolescents who were stimu-
lated by the war activities of their
older brothers and their desire to
participate in such activities" the
report said.
There were 2,178 cases completed
with social studies, while 1872 were
brought before court, the report
said. White children numbered
1,545 of the total and celored 1905.
Of the cases heard before the judge,
176 defendants were dismissed, 236
were fined, 272 committed to the
Board of Public Welfare and 358
placed on probation.

District Building, but a spokesman
for members of the Board of Public
Welfare said that group, Immediately
charged with formulating policies as
to welfare programs, was Standing
firm for adoption of basic principles
as "a first and most important STEP"
The debate recalled that about
four years ago Congress had appro-
priated more than 100000 for a new
Receiving Home; a site was acquired,
plans were drawn and bids were re-
ceived for construction. But all
these steps went to naught when it
was found the available funds were
insufficient, questions arose as TO
whether the planned project would
be adequate and then the war came
along to ban any construction ex-
cept that essential to the war effort.
This took the Receiving Home wards
back to about where they were a
decade ago.
