buildings, while a necessity. still is
waste. BY waiting until the Dis
strict architects can take care of
the plans, it may be necessary to
spend the money private archi-
tect would demand in repairs for
the old buildings.
Repairs Essential.
Meanwhile, until plans can be
built, some stop-gap repair jobs are
essential SO that until the changes
are possible, the institutions can at
least be sanitary and safe.
To solve the immediate problems
and to begin the job of solving the
long-range problems, these are the
six things Congress might do in its
present session:
l. Approve use of funds now al.
located for plans for the centers TO,
the hiring of a private architect 81
that the work can be done carefully
thoughtfully-and SO that by 1t!
1916 session Congress can have tn,
exact estimates of construction, ap
propriate the necessary funds ant
seen the buildings erected.
! 2. Appropriate 100000 to buy lant
near jolly Acres for the Industria
Home School, so that there will b,
no delay in beginning building
there as soon as the architects
plan is ready.
Must Get Priority.
| 3. Get an estimate from the Dis
trict Repair Shop-during the ap
preparation hearings-as to jus
what amount would be necessary II
clean up the Receiving Home TO
Children, and to put the Nationa
Training School for Girls in goo,
condition before the Industrial HON
School moves there. Appropriate thi
amount.
| 4. Instruct the District Repai
Shop to give all possible priority t,
the jobs needed at this time in tn
institutions.
S. Institute higher pay scale TO-
positions in the institutions, will
accompanying qualifications TO
competency. Institute higher pa,
scale for the District Repair Shop
so that an adequate staff may b,
hired to give attention to the press
ing jobs.
6. Write into the law governins
the institutions a phrase making i
legal for them to use volunteer per.

Overtime
Pay Provisions
Byrd Objects StroneI,
To Granting Regular
Time-ond-HoIf Clause
By JOSEPH YOUNG.

Deadlocked over granting regular
time-and-a-half overtime payments
to Government employees, the SEN
ate Civil Service Committee today
continued its hearings on proposed
wage increase legislation for Fed
eral employees.
An executive session called late
yesterday by Chairman Downey in
an attempt to speed consideration
Of the bill ended in all committee
members in general agreement to
report out a bill granting is per
cent basic wage increases, but the
conferees disagreed over the over
time provisions.
Opposed BY Byrd.
Senator Byrd, leader of the econ
omy block in Congress seeking to
curtail Federal expenditures, ex.
pressed strenuous objection to
granting regular time-and-a-har
overtime pay, it was learned. Sem
ator Downey, who introduced the
bill, and Senator LANCER, Republic
can, of North Dakota expressed
themselves in favor Of the provision.
Previously Senator Downey and
other supporters of the bill had de-
cided to settle for the Is per cent
pay increase and drop the regular
time e-and-a-half provisions, in at
tempt to speed the bill through
Congress. Subsequent testimony,
however, convinced them that Gov
eminent employees should benefit by
the same overtime standards as
prevail in private industry.
The committee members were as
sured by Chairman George Taylor
| of the War Labor Board and Eco
nomic Sterilization Director William
H. Davis that the proposed over
| time provision was in line with ma
tional policy.
At the conclusion of the executive
session, Senator Downey told re-
porters another meeting would be
held next week in an attempt to
come to an agreement. The meet
ing will be held as soon as Senator
Byrd returns from an out-of town
trip.
The House has not yet considered
the legislation but has scheduled
hearings May 8,
Hearings End Today.
Meanwhile, the committee pre-
pared to wind up hearings today
with the testimony of several Gov
eminent workers union officials.
During yesterdays session, Con.
gress was requested by Philip Muir
ray, president of the CIO. and
James Burns, president of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, to increase Federal
salaries rs per cent instead of the
Is per cent provided in the bill. An
other union official, Luther c. Stew

Grafton of Federal Employees. in
dorsed in pdinciple provisions of the
legislation.

Fairfax County
Sets Central
Registrar Office
Chapman Is Named
To New Post; Precinct
System Unchanged

Thomas P. Chapman, jr., of Fair
fax yesterday was named central
registrar for Fairfax County by the
County Electoral Board.
The new post was approved by the
Board Of Supervisors last week pur-
suant to an act Of the General As
sembly passed last year.
In announcing the Chapman ap-
pointment B. B. Iden, chairman of
the Electoral Board, stated the
status Of present precinct registrars
will not be affected, since their Of
fees are continued.
Under the new setup, county resi-
dents will be able to register for vot-
ing either with their regular pre-
cinct registrar or the central regis
trar. When registrations are made
with the central registrar the proper
precinct registrar will be advised,
who will in turn enter the name or
names in his books, for which he
will receive the same compensation
as If the individual had registered
with him in the first place. The
central registrar will also keep a
registration list for the entire
county.
The Electoral Board announced
that all precinct registrars will be
asked to purge their registration
books before the central registra-
ton book is made up. Walter T..
Oliver, jr., secretary of the Electoral
Board, will work with the central
registrar in having the books brought
up to date.
Because of the heavy growth in
population in the county, the sug-
gestion has been made on numerous
occasions that a central registrar be
appointed. Many new citizens come
to the Courthouse Building from all
sections of the county to register,
and the new step will facilitate reg
istration greatly.
The post of central registrar is
only part-time one, and Mr.. Chap
man, who is deputy county clerk,
will receive registrations in the
clerks offlce.
Mr.. Chapman took the oath Of
Office before County Clerk John M.
Whalen yesterday and the Office be-
comes effective as Of today.
