Adventists' New Cars Prompt
Plea to Change 1uq Rules

A problem posed by the Seventh

seek Q change in the District regu-

Mr.. Keneipp became involved in
shurch matters in this way:
National headquarters Of the
Seventh Day Adventists, are in Ia
koma Park, Md, at the District line.
From time to time, officials there
order automobiles intended for ship
ment to other establishments of the
church, including its overseas mis-
>sicnary services.
The cars are delivered to railroad
freight yards here and are driven
TO Takoma Park, bearing Maryland

they must obtain Dustrict tags.
The church organization, however
cannot qualify for dealer tags under
present regulations, and the Dis

transporter tags used in Mary
land and many other States, he
said.
He said, therefore, he viii recon-
mend to the Commissioners that
they ask Congress for amendment
OF the Traffic Act to provide for
such situations. Pending such
action, Mr.. Keneipp said police
might honor the Maryland tags in
the case of the Seventh Day Ad-
ventiSts.

JERSEY EMPLOYEES
GET PAY RAISES

Trenton, N. ]. QLNS)-Gov. AL
fred E. Driscoll has approved leg
islation> to give $6,700,000 in cost
of-living pay adjustments to $4,000
New Jersey administrative en-
ployes during the fiscal year begin
ming July 1.
Signing the bill, the Governor
warned that "as happy an occasion
as this" might not occur year
hence unless state finances improv-
ed. Difficulties were experienced
in balancing the state budget for
the coming fiscal year and resort
was had to new and increased
taxes.
About 85 per cent of the $4,000
state workers will get $3.50 more
during the next fiscal year in pay
increases and bonuses. Others, who
higher pay did not entitle them to
as much under a system worked
out by legislative committees, will
receive slightly smaller amounts.
About 5000 workers just beginning
their jobs will move up in begin
ner's scale to LAO a year; in 8
months this will increase to 81, $50.

There's Gold In
Them Thar Fords

New York (LPA)-A gold and
white merry-go-round with five '49
Fords revolving on a stage so feet
in diameter, was just part of the
show put on this week by the COM
pany which has raised its prices
81 per cent and asked it's workers
to take wage cut.
California's famous gold rush of
'49 was the theme of the show dis
playing the new Fords, and the
grand ballroom of the Waldorf AS
toria was draped with hundreds of
yards of gold and white satin and
lame for the occasion. The cars
exhibited amidst all this splendor
sell for $85 to $125 more than this
years models.
Since merry-go-round wasn't
enough to take the customers mind
off the extra hundred bucks, Ford
also provided ferris wheel with
two fuh-size gold-colored chassis
on it. The payoff, though, was a
huge "forty-niner' gold-mining
scene complete with the running
stream which a miner panned gold
souvenir nuggets.
So far as we know, Ford isn't
planning to give out any nuggets
when negotiations open with the
United Auto Workers next week.
General Motors, which did give
wage raise, has announced that its
car prices will not go up.

Incorporated into a new contract
between Local Union II and the
Warrington Pottery company.
The program which outstrips
everything of its type in labor his
tory, includes group life insur-
ance, group disqualification for
workers and family, medical and
sickness expenses, accidental death
and dismemberment and pension
plan.
Under the pension plan, three
per cent of the workers salary to
be matched by the company, will
make up the individual group re-
tirement annuity.
Everybody on the company's
payroll is included in the welfare
plan. But the pension is earmark-
ed individual because each mans
fund is separate. If he leaves the
plant, he is permitted to withdraw
all of the interest-bearing pension.
Aiming to make labor and man.
agement a more closely knit unit,
the two parties are working out
special form of pension to take
care of the older men who work
