Decision Restrictinq
Bus Wage Raise TO
Cents Reaffiirmed

The Wage Sterilization Board has
reaff1rmed a previous decision hold
ing that only 9 cents of proposed
l2-cent hourly wage increase for
bus drivers of the Washington, Vir-
ginia and Maryland Coach Co., Inc,
= may be used by the company to sup
port petition for increased fares.
In a decision announced yester-
day, majority of the board, with
the labor member dissenting. held
that the 9-cent raise, added to a
l0-cent adjustment made last fall,
would place wage scales 19 cents
above the vi day levels and COM
nented:
The sum of 19 cents is regarded
under the present wage policy as
the limit of approvable wage in
crease because it is the amount of
increase which had developed in the
industry in the area since VI day"
Hearing on Appeal Expected.
A Board of Arbitration awarded
12-cent increase last May %, but
made it conditional on approval of
the WSB. In its announcement yes
terday, the WSB pointed out the
company still could place in effect
the full amount of that raise, but
was not obliged to give effect to
more than the 9 cents approved as
basis for fare adjustment.
However, the drivers union, Di-
vision 1919 of the Amalgamated As
sociation of Street, Electric Railway
and Motor Coach Employees of
America (AFL), has an appeal pend
ing before the Board of Arbitra-
ton on which hearing is expected.
The union hopes to convince the
board it should grant an uncondi-
tional wage increase.
AFL Member Dissents.
Yesterdays WSB announcement
followed an appeal by the union
from the boards first decision,
handed down last June. The re-
affirmation of the previous finding
was submitted by Chairman w.
Willard Wirtz and Vice Chairman
Phillips L. Carman, public members.
A dissenting opinion was filed by
Walter j. Mason, AFL member, in
which he argued that the full
amount of the 12-cent arbitration
board was approvable under board
policies. Mr.. Mason declared the
amount was justified by losses in
takehome pay caused by a short
ened workweek and to overcome
wage differentials between the w,
v. & M firm and other transit lines
of the Washington area.
The dissent contended that the
drivers had not in fact received a
19-cent increase since VI day and
that a pattern based on that figure
has not been established here.

Auto Parts Shortage
Cancels Fall Tests
OF Cars in Virginia
BY the Associoied Press

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 24-Plans
have been dropped to resume State
wide official automobile inspections
this fall because of the extreme
shortage of repair parts, Gov. Tuck
said today.
The Governor, probably the
States leading advocate of highway
safety, called on State police sew
eral weeks ago to make arrange
ments for returning the system OF
semi-annual auto inspections, if
possible. Such inspections were
suspended during the war.
With some disappointment, the
Governor today released report
from Col. C. w Woodson, jr., super
intenoent of State police, to the
effect that repair parts are SO in
sufficient right now that an official
inspection program could not be
handled properly.
Even if the inspections were con-
fined solely to brakes and steering
mechanism, Gel. Woodson said he
did not believe the program could
be handled.
The State police superintendent
said he would prefer to continue
the assignment of spot checking
squads to patrol highways and in
Spect vehicles suspected of being
unsafe. This would be better, he
said, than going through the mo-
tions of an inspection at the pres
ent time"
In calling off another official in
spection, at least for the time being
the Governor emphasized that State
police would keep on the job in
hauling unsafe cars off the high
way. Just as soon as repair parts
become more plentiful, he promised
inspections will be resumed.
In his report, prepared by Safety
Engineer w. L.sGroth, after State
wide survey, Col. Woodson said the
supply of brake parts appears te
be fairly good for all except ole
model motor vehicles. Repair parts
for steering gear and the front END
are shortest, and there also is a
scarcity of muff1ers, window glass
headlight repair parts and other
equipment. Several jobbers in the
Richmond area said repair parts
are harder to obtain now than at
any time during the war.

Former P0Ws Meet
Sept. 8 TO Organize
District Area Club

Plans for new veterans organi-
zation-a club for Washington S
World War II prisoners Of war
were begun last night when "a for
mer servicemen who were held in
German and japanese prison camps
met to discuss the idea.
Meeting at the YMCA, the group
was called together by David r.
Porter, a member of the YMCA's S
World Committee-theG Geneva unit
responsible during the war for pro-
viding books, games and other items
to prisoners of war.
Mr. Porter explained that veterans
in Is cities have formed similar
clubs under YMCA sponsorship and
that the international Association
of Barb Wire Clubs was organized
at meeting May 27 in New York.
Principally fraternal organization,
ne said, the organization will sup
port programs to increase good will
among all groups for social i'm
provement, and movements toward
revision OF Geneva Conference pro-
visions to improve treatment of
prisoners in case of future wars.
Leading the session, Irving j.
Mills, an organizer of the Bridge
port Comm Barb Wire Club, sug-
gested the group wait until we de-
termine the kind of club we want
before we decide on purposes and a
name"
Now a student at American Uni
versity, Mr.. Mills estimated that
there are 400 former POWs in the
Washington area. To contact all
veterans, the group voted to place
notices in all local universities,
USOs and armed forces installations
urging former prisoners to attend a
meeting at the YMCA September
8, when the club will be organized
formally.
Discussing purposes of the club,
several veterans urged a strong
participation in veterans affairs
rather than forming a strictly
special" unit. Another ex-prisoner
suggested the group join a larger
veterans organization as group
land become real voice after we
are organized"
A flve-man committee was named
to study the recommendations and
propose name. Members are Mr..
Mills; Philip A. Smith, 918 Perry
place NE; 1t. Earle C. Schweizer,
U. S. NJ, stationed at the Naval Re-
search Laboratory; Warren H. Mac
