Avoid Prolonged Bed Rest

greater for overweight patients

Blood ClOts
In elderly patients after days
or weeks of bed rest, blood clots
arr. likely 20 form in the veins, par
ticularlv in the back Of the leg or
foot. Pneumonia may develop due
to a collection of fluid in the lungs,
favored 10y prolonged inactivity
and bed rest. Long-continued bed
rest may also be harmful in elderly
people with heart disease since it
not only may lead to congestion in
the lungs but also to weakening Of
the heart muscle.
OF course. no set Of rules can be
put down for all elderly persons.
However, in general, 1t would APP
pear that prolonged bed rest adds
to the risk in illnesses of the aged
who already are handicapped and
many would do better if they are
out Of bed early.
Problems regarding are of the
old arc more important now than
ever before because the number Of
old people is constantly increas-
ing. Due to the rapid strides made
in the prevention of disease and
death in younger age groups, more
people are living to a ripe old age.

Citations, designed to limit the ap-
plication of the bills to such insti-

House and Senate.
One was introduced in the Senate
by Chairman McCarran of the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee, and a
companion bill was placed before
the House by Representative Green,
Democrat, of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Green earlier had presented
a similar measure, but sponsors said
1t had been revised because of ques-
lions it might be construed to apply
to other than financial institutions.
Banks and other financial insti-
tutions now are open two and one

Banking officials say they are run

Assurances are offered, however,
that if the bill becomes law some
adjustments will be made in Mon

as to accommodate bank customers.

Commissioners Offer
Substitute Proposal
On Teacher Pay Raise
BY John w. Thompson, Jr.

The Board of Education today has
before 1t substitute proposal by
the Commissioners for the boards
request for legislation giving a fiat
$500 pay raise to the city's more
than 5000 teachers.
The city heads said they would
support IA per cent increase for
the teachers similar to that pend
ing for the classified employees and
the police and flremen with these
differences:
Where the CLASSIFIED employees will
receive a minimum of $3.50 under
the pending Federal Pay Act, the
Commissioners proposed a $3.50 min
imum for the teachers, but also said
they would support no increase
that would raise a salary above
$4,000.
Alternative Offered.
In letter to Mrs. Henry Grattan
Doyle, president of the School
Board, the Commissioners said they
had arrived at the alternative solu-
ton after careful consideration OF
the effect these various pay in
creases will have on the city flnan-
cial structure.
They pointed to a significant
difference" between the legislation
for Federal pay increases and that
for the District in that 'it will be
mandatory on the Federal depart
ments to reduce personnel mate
rally, which will have the twofold
effect of vast savings and reduc-
ton in opportunity for employ
ment."
The proposed alternative program
for the teachers will cost the Dis
trict an estimated $1,50O,000 as
against the 100000 of the 5000
fiat boost.
The pay acts for the classified
employees, teachers and police and
flremen last July added this year
more than $6,000,0O to the city SAL
airy bill, which has gone up $9,OO0,-
900 since the fiscal year 1941. The
prospective increases this year, in
Guiding boosts for the several thou
sand per diem employees, is expected
by District budget officials to reach
another s6,000,0s0.
The city now has roughly $4,000
employees who next year will cost
the taxpayers about s45 900, 900 in
salaries alone If the various pay in
creases become law, it was indicated.
The $45, 000, 900 will be more than
half of the entire 1947 District budg-
ct of more than $40 100000 as it now
awaits action in the Senate.
