Redeployed Veterans
To Get Intensive Training

Veterans redeployed from Europe
for fighting in the Pacific are being
given A hours of intensive training
a week to fit them for new and
somewhat different phases of COM
bat.
Ground forces headquarters did
not disclose the length of this new
training period, but officials admit
ted it is bit longer than the inten-
sified courses given the same men
before they left for Europe.
Training subjects include Japa-
nese tactics and technique, identi-
fication of Japanese weapons, uni
form, insignia and the most effec-
tive employment of American wea-
pons and prevention of disease.
For Pacific training, amphibious
landings receive major stress. Night
fighting also is more frequent than
it was in Europe. Tanks are en-
ployed somewhat differently and the
lame-thrower and tank bulldozer
rank high in Importance.
The overall ground training is de-
signed to insure that every GI goes
into battle fully prepared to out
smart the cunning and treachery oi
the enemy, it was announced.

Judge Rules Dress
Industry May Add
Pay Boost 10 Price
By the Associated Press.

foy tf1f AsSOCldteu FTcsS.
PHILADELPHIA, July 20.-Fed-
eral Judge Harry e. Kalodner1 ruled
yesterday in a precedent-making
decision of far-reaching Importance
in the dressmaking industry that o
manufacturer may add wage in
creases to his costs and pass on the
increase to the retailer.
Judge Kalodner dismissed the Of
fee of Price Administration suit
against Biberman Bros, Inc. re-
fusing to award damages or grant
an injunction.
The OPA filed a $4,000 triple
damage suit April 26, 1914, accusing
the company of overcharging on
1901 dozen dresses.
OPA claimed that inclusion of an
.81a per cent wage increase awarded
workers in the dressmaking industry
by an arbitrator might not legally be
included in the manufacturers costs
because the contract between the
Philadelphia Waist and Dress Manu-
facturers' Association and the Inter
national Ladies Garment Workers
Union does not provide for an in
crease "of percentage of the basic
pay
Judge Kalodner ruled the manu-
facturers are entitled to sda the
wage increase as an item of labor
cost regardless of whether the ar
bitrator was right or wrong" in his
decision. He added that the rule
under which the OPA sued the
Biberman company does not specify
the manner in which ceiling prices
are to be determined but only pro-
vides a method for ascertaining
minimum allowable costs" of pro-
duction and that as there is no other
regulation fitting exactly, OPA could
not prove damages.

Mischa Elman Is Magnificent
In Concert at Water Gate

abandon, but it was finely played
in the pace the soloist set.
He is a master of rubato and
allargando and the emotional quail
ity of the Bruch concerto was en-
phasized through these effects. Mr..
Smallens did magnificent work in
the manner in which he matched
the artists Interpretation. When
a phrase by the soloist ended in a
soft, floating tone, it was caught
and carried on by the orchestra,
and in every instance, whatever the
artists intention, it was continued
or enlarged in the accompaniment.
This unity of thought resulted in
memorable reading of the con-
certe, with Mr. Elman in his best
and most expansive form.
Audience and orchestra Joined in
the applause, and Mr.. Elman re-
sponded with two encores, which
could have grown in numbers had
time permitted, SO great was the
enthusiasm. He first played the
Meditation" from Massenet's s
tsThais," a work neglected by vio-
linists in late years but one emf
nently suited to Mr.. Elmans style.
This was followed by Albeniz's
Tango" which is rhythmically in
teresting, but for no other reason.
Mr.. Smallens has the gift of re-
tanning clarity in the orchestra, no
matter what he directs. The Pol
ka and Fugue" from Weinberger's
"Schwanda" was not jumbled
mass of sound, but cleanly stated
in both the dance and the fugue
The graceful line of the Mendels-
sohn overture and the manifold va
riety and richness of the Brahms
symphony were set forth with equal
mastery and appreciation, to which
the members of the orchestra added
their own individual artistry.
That Mr.. Smallens has both keen
musical feeling and original ideas
was set forth at his debut this sum-
mer and again last night in his
directing of "The Star Spangled
Banner" 1t is true he had some
difficulty in holding the orchestra
to the noble tempo he desired, but
he succeeded, as has no other con-
ductor this summer, in making 1t q
hymn, dignified and inspiring
This is how the national anthem
should be played, and Mr. Smallens
by not racing through it, has given
it the elevated character intended
for 1t.

D. {. Heads Approve
Pension Boosts for
Policemen, Firemen

The Commissioners have approved
a recommendation of the corpora
ton counsel that retired members
of the Police and Fire Departments
are entitled to increased pensions
as of July / under the recently ap-
proved police and fire pay increase
bill.
The recommendation was that
members of the departments receiv-
ing funds from the police and fire.
mems relief fund and retired under
the provisions of an act of 1910 are
eligible for a pension, beginning
July /, 1945, equal to so per cent of
the new basic salary rate This ap-
plies to those who served 25 years,
reached the age of SIS and were en-
titled to retire.
Passed on by Keech.
Those who retired because of dis
ability will be eligible to receive re-
lief in amounts bearing the same
proportion to the new basic salary
rate as the relief received immedi-
ately prior to the passage of the law
bore to the old basic salary rate"
The question was passed on by
Corporation Counsel Richmond B.
Keech, who had been asked whether
it would be necessary for retired
persons to make an application for
increases. Mr.. Keech said he did
not think formal hearing was
necessary.
Mr.. Keech ruled:
"It is clear from the statute and
the legislative history of the Act
of Congress approved February IT,
1923, that Congress intended that
retired members of the police and
fire departments are to be eligible
for an increase in pay under the
new pay increase bill.
ID. C. Heads Can Act.
while under the said Act of
Congress a retired member of the
police and fire departments, other
than when retired under the Act
of Congress approved October IA,
1910, is not entitled as matter
of right to the increases permitted,
it is the view of this Office that
the Commissioners, in their dis
cretion, are authorized to grant an
increase to retired members of the
two departments by the issuance Of
an order"
Mr.. Keech also recommended that
the action of the Commissioners be
forwarded to the Secretary of the
Interior because the increased pay
applied to Park and White House

himself was entrusted with snoring
up the side of the ditch which

nishing a means of ready egress was
placed by Judge Nelson on the con-

Increased Supply
OF Shoes Promised
After First Of Year

Consumers can look forward to
increased supplies of shoes after
the first of the year, the Office of
Price Administration said today, as
a result of military cutbacks allow
ing manufacturers to turn out about
10,500,000 additional pairs of shoes
during the last three months of this
year.
The OPA and War Production
Board estimate that the freeing of
substantial quantities of cattle hide
upper leather and sole leather by
the armed forces will permit a
fourth-quarter production of 26,-
00,000 pairs a month. The current
production is 23,500, 900 pairs a
month.
No Immediate Increase.
The extra supply of leather for
civilian manufacture of shoes was
said by the WPB to be 10 per cent
greater than during the first quartz,
of this year and 20 per cent larger
than during the second and third
quarters.
OPA explained that usually il
takes about three months for shoes
to reach consumers, and that, there
fore, the effect of the increase
would not be felt until after tht
first of next year.
The agency also pointed out thai
its shoe ration order was flexible
enough SO that adjustments can bt
made promptly when the supply
situation warrants it."
No New Stamp Yet.
OPA added that "for the present
however, OPA cannot predict wher
