U. 5. Pay Raise
Conferees MAY
Agree Today
Many Prefer IS Pct.
Increase to Flat
$400 Yearly Plan

Conferees on the Federal pay bill
were to meet again this afternoon
amid indications that they finally
will agree on the legislation.
A tentative" accord was reported
at their meeting Tuesday and,
barring unforeseen developments,
today's session is expected to result
in formal approval of bill affect
ing more than 100000 Federal
workers, including nearly 100000
employees in the Washington area.
At Tuesdays meeting number
Of the conferees stated their pref
erence for a Is per cent wage
increase bill, program which
would grant more liberal pay raise
to employees in the middle and top
income brackets than is provided
under the fiat $400 House bill. This
would mean, however, raises under
$400 for all Federal workers making
less than $500 a year. Z
Some Oppose 1870 Increase.
Some conferees have indicated
their opposition to the Is per cent
proposal, saying the loWer-income
employe needs raise the most.
The measure also is expected to
include a ceiling on the total number
of Federal employees, this provision
having been asked by economy
minded conference members before
they would compromise on the wage
features of the bill.
Meanwhile, Abram Flaxer, presi-
dent of the new CIO union, the
United Public Workers of America,
asked the conferees to reject the Is
per cent proposal in favor Of the
$400 fiat increase provided by the
House bill.
Provision Called "Int0lerable."
The Is per cent provision would
constitute "intolerable discrimina-
ton" against the bulk of Federal
workers, Mr.. FlaXer said. A Is per
cent increase would mean raises for
half of Federal personnel of only
$216 to S285 a year, he added.
Mr.. Flaxer intimated that the
CIO would oppose at the polls all
members of Congress who voted for
q Is per cent boost.

Court Clerks for Extra
Might Session Work

Fifteen Prince Georges County
municipalities, which hold night
sessions twice monthly at the Hy-
attsville Trial Magistrates Court
because part-time town police OBJ.
ject to taking off from their regu.
lar daytime employment to press
charges, have been requested to con-
tribute to the salaries of two clerks
who must remain overtime an ave-
rage of 172 hours a year without ex-
ira compensation.
The communities, from which
support was asked by Trial Magis-
trate Arthur G. Owens, are: Hyatts-
vile. Mount Rainier, Cheverly
Bladensburg. Colmar Manor, Cot
tage City, Edmonston, Brentwood
Glen Arden, Fairmount Heights
North Brentwood, Capitol Heights
Seat Pleasant, District Heights and
Greenbelt. These towns receive the
money from fines in all town cases
except traffic violations. The county
it was pointed out, receives only the
court cases, while the State receives
the money collected on traffic fines.
Clerks for whom the extra COM
pensation is asked are Miss Agnes
Keane and Mrs. Josephine Evans
Not effected under the request are
the two clerks a the Upper Marl-
boro Trial Magistrates Court, which
does not conduct night sessions.
Judge Owens and Trial Magis-
trate Alan. Bowie, who alternate
each month between the two courts,
agreed that the Hyattsville clerks
salaries should be raised Both said
they, and their chief clerks, Law
renee R. Walker and Miss Loretta
Ridgely. were not asking for addi-
tional money for their services.
Judge Bowie declared, however
that every one who renders a
service in court should be adequately
paid" He. said the night sessions
first began shortly after the former
Police Court system was abandoned
in favor of the present one in 1899
Walter L. Green, a former trial
magistrate who shared the assign
ment with Judge Bowie in 1899
reported that night sessions were
started voluntarily" to help town
officers. Citing the example of Anne
Arundel County, where the court
clerks receive extra compensations
from town contributions, tMr. Green
said he saw mo reason why the
towns in Prince Georges County
should not have a share of this
expense"
William A. Carson, chairman of
the f1ve-man Board of County Com
missioners, said he favored the
raises, but added the county was
handicapped by legislative regula-
tions which provide certain salaries
for certain jobs. He said that with
the county now feeding the prisoners
and transporting them, he would
recommend abolition of night court
unless the towns offer contributions
One suggestion by county officials
was for a $500 annual increase for
each clerk to cover the extra work
with the amount from each town
based on the number of cases in
court each month. The municipal
tiles, it was disclosed, receive a total
of approximately 5000 from each
night court session.

CHAN of Ohio, Abernathy ofMissis-
sippi and Link of Illinois, Demo-
Gratis, and McDonough, Republican,
of California.
The House indicated general
agreement yesterday that operation
of child-care centers is desirable,
but questions arose as to whether
they should be made an integral
part of. the public school system
or administered under some other
District agency. The Board of Pub
lie Welfare was suggested by DR..
Hobart M. Corning, schools super
intendent, who contended the plan
was for school operation was in
cinsistent with the free public
school system, since fees would be
charged.
Mr.. Healy announced witnesses at
tomorrow's hearing would include
DR.. Mary Dabney Dabis of the
United States Office of Education,
Welfare Director Ray L. Huff, Direc-
tor Milo F. Christensen of the
Recreation Department and DR..

daylight saving time, Chairman
Mcmillan announced he was in
Producing bill which would make
the summertime plan operative each
year from 2 am. on the last Sum-
day of April to 2 am. on the last
Sunday in September. For this year.
it would begin at 2 am. the first
Sunday after the date Of approval Of
the bill.
There was strong support in the
committee yesterday for daylight
saving time, although Representa-
tive Abernethy said it might cause
more instead of less confusion.

Byrd Urged 10 Back
Bill 10 Guarantee
Good Grade Fertilizer

Senator Byrd, Democrat. of Viz.
|ginia, had mo comment" today to a
letter from John Locke Green, Re.
publican treasurer of Arlington
County, asking the virfginian to in
troduce in the Senate a Republican s
House bill that would be counter
part in the fertilizer industry of the
Pure Food and Drug Act.
In his letter, Mr.. Green sought
Senator Byrd's sponsorship Of bill
by Representative Lemke, Repub-
lican, of North Dakota, to eliminate
ground leather, hair, hooves, horns
wool waste and such other filler as
goes toward making up a ton OF
fertilizer"
The bill also would eliminate the
use of ground cinders or other
material injurious to plants as
fertilizer filler and would require
that each bag of fertilizer list the
minimum percentages of available
plant food. A statement of the
amount of cheap, water soluable
nitrogen contained in each bag also
would be required.
U. S. Plants Advocated.
Meanwhile Chairman Flanagan
OF the House Agriculture Committee,
recalled that he introduced several
months ago a bill that would
establish pilot fertilizer manufac-
turing plants, to be operated by the
Government In various sections of
the country.
It was pointed out that these
plants would develop fertilizers
suitable to American soil types
and would accomplish the same
ends as the Lemke bill in setting
standards that would have to be
met by fertilizer manufacturers in
order to meet demands by farmers.
In his plea for a more stringent
control of fertilizer, Mr.. Green said
that many fertilizers purchased by
tobacco growers are, in fact, in
furious to the tobacco plants.
He said he has been told by ex-
perts that tobacco blue mold, a
fungus disease that attacks young
plants and costs growers thousands
of dollars each year. can be effec-
lively controlled by the use of good
fertilizers.
Resistance Weakened.
while the disease is not carried
by the fertilizer" Mr.. Green said,
these experts hold that strong,
healthy plants can resist the disease
and good fertilizer is one method
of producing healthy plants"
Mr.. Green cited a Middle District
North Carolina Federal indictment
in 1941 against 102 persons con-
nected with the fertilizer industry
for having exerted undue influence
on North Carolina legislation and
law enforcement officials. He said
the defense pleaded nolo contendere
and paid fines amounting to more
than a quarter of a million dollars.
I'm the Indictment" he wrote,
ut was charged that ton of
fertilizer sold prior to 1941 contained
three per cent nitrogen, eight per
cent phosphoric acid and three per
cent potash, making a total of IA
per cent plant food. The remain
ing S6 per cent of the ton was COM
posed of filler, or inert materials,
such as sand, dolomitic limestone or
earth which has no chemical value
for plant food. Since the indict-
ment of those 102 individuals and
fertilizer firms, the evidence shows
that nothing has been particularly
done to correct the condition upon
which this indictment was brought.
