Or Sit in the Dark and Cold

Meetings Of the Southwest Citi-
zens' Association will be shorter and
speedier unless members of the
group don't mind sitting in the dark
and cold after the first hour, the
association was told last night.
To meet a request to save heat
and light in public buildings, trus-
tees of the Southwest Branch Ii
brary set 9 pm. deadline on the
use of heat and light at association
meetings, President Daniel Melcher
said.
Moving to ask the library trustees
to reconsider the order, Harry Wen
der, chairman of the Recreation
Board, said he felt such steps un-
necessary. "The fact that we are
here means the lights at home are
out" Mr.. Wender said. "If we were
all home we would be using more
heat and light" he added.
Mr.. Wender said that the entire
recreational program uses only Ia
per cent of coal consumed in build
ings under the Board Of Education
jurisdiction. He said the 16 citizens
associations who meet in public
buildings use only one-tenth Of one
per cent of that used by the rec
reation program. The association
unanimously voted to adopt Mr..
Vendors motion.

addition to Randall Junior High
School be appropriated immedi-
ately by the FWA and that new

cause all f1re-fighting equipment

Downey Seeks
JobIess Pay for
u. 5. Workers
Requests Amendment
Plans to Coll Up
Salary Boost Today
Nv JOSEPH yOIINC

Chairman Downey of the Senate
Civil Service Committee today
moved to obtain unemployment
compensation benefits for Govern
ment employees as the Senate pre-
pared to consider his Federal pay
bill.
The Californian said he requested
Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee to introduce an
amendment to the bill which would
grant Federal workers unemploy-
ment protection under State laws
during the reconversion period.
In September the Senate passed
an emergency jobless aid bill, which
would have raised State unemploy-
ment grants and would have in
cluded Federal employees, but the
measure was sidetracked indefinite
ly by the House Ways and Means
Committee.
State Rates Conflict.
1t is contended that the House
group was willing to provide Gov
ernment employees with jobless ben
efits, but. was unwilling to adjust
existing State rates for workers in
private industry, and therefore
sidetracked the entire bill. Sup
porters of the measure feel it will
meet less opposition If it is divorced
from the overall measure covering
workers in private industry.
Senator now,, oyy coiI ~ t.~L -
eral conversations with Senate,
George regarding the matter land
hoped" the Georgian would intro
duce the amendment.
Follows State Rates,
Senator Downey said such a meas
ure was urgently needed, with the
Government reducing its personnel
by several hundred thousand per.
sons each month. The proposed
amendment would provide max.
imum jobless payments for 26 week.
at rates of the State where the
worker is employed.
Senator Downey plans to call ur
the Federal pay bill for Senate con.
sideration today. The bill provide.
f1at 20 per cent wage increase TO,
rank-and-file Government employees
Amendments will be offered to in.
crease salaries of members of Con.
gress from $4,000 to $4,000 q yeal
and to boost the wages of cabinet
omcers, agency heads and Fedora
judges by 5000 a year.
Chief opposition to the measure /.
expected to come from Senate,
Byrd, Democrat, Of Virginia, leader
OF the economy bloc in Congress

Hot Shoppe Opposes
Avenue WIDENING

Opposition to q proposal to widen
Wisconsin avenue from East-West
highway to the Naval Medical Cen
ter was voiced yesterday by J. w.
Marriott, leasee Of the Bethesda Hot
Shoppe's property, on ground that

cilities would be eliminated.
Charles Hawley, owner Of the
property, said 4t a meeting held in

men and civic groups of Bethesda
that a narrow street is more desir-
able for business.
Tentative plans call for a 74-foot
highway with a 6-foot center safety
strip. Serge Doubroff, engineer fol-
the Maryland Park and Planning
Commission, said this would neces.
state the dedication of a 10-foot
strip Of property on both sides Of
the avenue, except in the block ir
which the Bank of Bethesda is 10.
Gated, where all of the land fos
widening would. be taken from the
west side, affecting the Hot Shoppe
restaurant.
MIR. Prescott explained the county
now has 100000 available for the
project but an equitable and prac-
ticable plea for widening is needed
Henry Connor, president of the
Bethesda Chamber of Commerce
Emory Bogley, Bethesda real estate
man, and Mrs. John M. Nader, rep
resenting the East Bethesda Citi-
zens' Association, were among those
favoring the widening of the avenue
Mr.. Doubroff, at the close of the

cussion under advisement in work
ing out more detailed widening
