Looking back on the fighting

Passenger Tire Quota
Unchanged for November
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The number of passenger tires
allocated for rationing in Novem-
Der is the same as for this month
-2,500,000.
Announcing this today, OPA said
the heavy truck tire quota also is
unchanged at 250,000.
The November allotment of small
truck tires, however, is down to
35o.000 castings, as compared with
100000 this month. OPA said this
reduction resulted from a heavy de-
mand for tires for new trucks and
less production than anticipated.
Despite sOPA Administrator
BowleS' statement earlier this week
that the end of tire rationing is
"in sight," the agency's announce
ment today said the passenger tire
shortage continues to remain most
acute, with demand far exceeding
available supply"

Many u. 5. Workers
Face Pay Cut Because
OF Job Downgrading
Agency Heads Reviewing
All Employees Now in War
Grade CIussificotions
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

Thousands of Government en-
ployeS face wage cuts as result
of downgrading of some Federal
jobs, it was learned today.
The situation results from the ac-
tion of some Government agencies
during the war in upgrading the
of jobs in order to Sc
cure workers. This was done to meet
wage competition of private industry
in filling Federal jobs considered
vital to the war effort.
Now with the Government re-
ducing its personnel, Federal agency
heads are reviewing all posi-
tions to determine whether the
person on the job is entitled to his
grade classification. In many in
stances it is found that the job filled
does not justify the grade classifica-
ton and the attendant higher sal
airy.
Reviews Required.
For example, a worker doing a
job that normally pays $1,000 a year
had been hired at a higher job
classification paying $4,000 year
Sometimes there would be a jump of
several classifications involved.
Review of job classifications is re-
quired under the Classification Act
and the recently enacted pay bill,
Government officials point out.
Most of the downgrading is taking
place at the War Department. Agen-
cy spokesmen there, while refusing
to give the specific number of per-
sons involved, said the percentage
is small, but the number is sub
stantial. The department employs
the largest number of Federal work.
ers of any agency, slightly over L.
100000 civilian workers, with $4,000
employees in Washington.
The National Federation of Fed
eral Employees has asked that down.
grading be stopped, asserting that
it is unfair to employees hired at a
specific salary during the war. The
union feels that these employees
accepted the positions in good faith
ana Snould not be forced to suffer
the economic consequences of down.
grading. Redistribution of positions
should apply only to newcomers TAX
ing Federal jobs, union officials feel.
Congress Action Held Need.
Some Government officials believe
it is up to Congress to pass legisla-
ton upgrading these positions.
AS a result of downgrading some
Federal workers are now making
less money than they made during
the war, even with the recent Fed
eral pay raise. This stems from the
elimination of overtime and the re-
turn to the 40-hour week.
Downgrading also has resulted
from reduction in force procedures
as thousands of war jobs are wiped
out and displaced employees are
offered positions in lower wage
categories. Employees representatives
have asked that care be taken
that permanent status employees be
the last to be doWngraded.

karno cabinet to meet with him.

cy, reported in a dispatch from

U. S. Mediation Asked.
I. r. Soekarno, president of the
"Indonesian Republic" appealed to
the United States in a short-wave
radio address last night to act as
mediator in his country's struggle
for independence.
Soekarno spoke over the British
controlled Malabar broadcasting
station at Bandoeng.
His use of the station was not i'm
mediately explained. When the Brit
ish first took over Bandoeng, how
ever, they stopped the Nationalists
from using the station, and some OBJ
servers interpreted the lifting of the
ban as an indication of an important
change in British policy.

Proposed by Planners

To Simplify Problems
Of Heovy Street Traffic
The National CAPITAL Park and

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, in a re-
port made public today, advo-
Gates a streamlining of Wash
ington's highway and transpor-
tation system which would in
clude, among other things, an
underground street railway from
the Potomac River near the site
of the proposed new Navy De-
partment Building to the Ana
costa River near the proposed
new stadium. The subway would
follow the general line of E
street NV. and NE.
The report, prepared by Max B.
Wehrly, city planner on the COM
missions staff, does not describe the
underground railway as subway,
although it would have the same
function.
The tube would serve with one
continuous transportation route the
Federal axis of the city from one
river to the other along the Mall
and East Capitol street, and would
be augmented by proposed extern
sions of Constitution and Independ-
ence avenues from river to river.
Another Plan Under Study.
A proposal to start development
of the East Capitol street area from
the Capitol to the Anacostia River,
between B streets NE. and Sc, is
under study by the House Public
Buildings and Grounds Committee.
The Planning Commission report,
however, treats the highway and
transportation problem of all Wash
ington and not just the Federal
area.
1t recommends extensive street
widening and a reclassification of
the existing street system into four
categories: Express routes, major
highway routes, distributor routes
and local access streets.
1t estimates that II miles of
widening on express routes and As
miles of widening on major high
ways will involve land purchase.

For Harmony Fail
Suggests Six-Point
u. S. Plan to Aid
World Security
By the Associated Ersss.

LAWRENCE, Kal1s., Oct. 25.-
Criticizing the administrations
foreign policy, ALT M. Landon,
1886 Republican presidential
nominee, said today that if Rus
Sia refuses the "proffered hand
of the peace-seeking nations, we
must not shrink from the tragic
fact that a new aggressor is on
the proWl."
In a speech prepared for delivery
before the Kiwanis Club Mr. Landon
outlined a six-point program which
he suggested as the American
foundation for world security.
"You can't build an international
organization for collective security
on the quicksilver of vindictive,
ruinous and imperialistic settlements
that lack any constructive ideas,
he said.
Landon Outlines Program.
The former Kansas Governor s
proposed program:
l. Make the United States sound
financial mooring post 'for the rest
of the. world to tie to by reversing
our present unsound fiscal policies
of borrowing and spending unlim-
tied"
2. Reverse the German policies
for which the United States is
largely responsible. Put Germany
on an economic, lf-sustaining
basis.
8. All nations abandon extra
territorial practices. THE United
States should stand in the Far East
as advocating in substance what we
did in the Philippines, where we
set the model for colonial treat
ment and development of self lf-gov-
erning communities.

principles of the Atlantic Charter
