Johnston Will Seek
Higher Pay for Both
Federal, DC. Worker!

Higher pay for both Federal and
District employees will be sought by
Senator Johnston, Democrat, OF
South Carolina, the prospective
chairman of the Senate Post Office
and Civil Service Committee.
He told reporters last night he
will seek to bring the pay of Wash
ington city government workers up
to the level of Federal job holders.
In addition, he said, he believes
the $3.50 pay raise granted classified
Federal workers earlier this year
and the $3.50 given postal workers
constituted compromises. He said
he always has felt these pay raises
should have been higher.
When the Federal pay raises were
put into effect, the great majority
of District government workers were
deprived of any cost Of living pay
raise because of the last hour fill
buster staged in the Senate by Sen
ator Johnston.
Chairman Cain, Republican, oi
Washington, in charge of District
legislation, had stood adamantly
against any pay raise increase ir
District costs unless Congress adopt
ed higher revenues for the city.
The House passed new District
revenue bill providing, among Other
things, for a per cent genera
sales tax, exempting medicines anc
food for home consumption.
This was blocked in the Senate by
Senator Johnston, and the whole
question of increased city revenue.
was put over to the Eighty-first
Congress.
Senator Johnston said last nigh
he still is opposed to any sales ia,
for the District.

Vocational Guidance
In Schools Is Hailed
IBy Columbia Teacher

No vocational guidance center
working with out-of-school youths
and with adults can carry on as
effective a counseling service as
can a school or college vocational
guidance service, DR.. Donald E.
Super, associate professor Of educa-
ton at Columbia University Teach
ers' College, said today. Addressing
the regional conference Of the Ma
tionA Guidance Association at the
YWCA, DR.. Super said this would
be the case until the general pub
lie has been educated to a quite diff
ferent concept of vocational guild
ance.

sion on the usefulness of vocational
guidance in conserving human re.

rector of the American Council or

ans; Ira D. Scott, director of the
Veterans Administration Advise
ment and Guidance Service, anc

States Office of Education.
Mr.. Scott said an analysis Of s
Veterans Administration study in
dicated that spending approximat.
ing $27,500,000 for counseling anc
guidance service for veterans, thu
Government might have saved some
thing over a billion dollars.
During the fiscal year 1947, ht
said, 2,289 1863 veterans entered jot
training. According to the result!
of the study, approximately half Of
the veterans who did not go through
guidance would have discontinued
the training by the end of the first
year, he said.
According to another study, q
per cent of these would have
dropped out even if they had re.
ceived counseling, he added, how
ever.

Sodium FIuoride Use
In Teeth Decay Fight
Tested in Arlington

A demonstration experiment in
the prevention of dental decay with
sodium fluoride is nearing compile
ton at the John Marshall Elemen-
tary School in Arlington.
A special mobile dental treatment
unit, one of so in the United States,
was set up at the school November
8 to begin the first experiment Of
this kind in the Metropolitan Area.
DR.. Tom Humphrey, dental di-
rector for Arlington County schools,
said nearly all of the more than
400 students at John Marshall will
receive the sodium fuoride treat
ment by the time the experiment is
completed next Wednesday. The
treatments were not given unless
parents consented.
The sodium fuoride treatments
are being made in a series of four
applications at three to four inter-
walls. Before the chemical is ap-
piled, the students teeth are ex-
amined by a dentist and cleaned

examination.
DR.. Humphrey said the children
should receive a complete series of
applications at intervals of about
three years to protect new teeth as
they appear. Research has shown
that application of the sodium
f1uoride reduces dental decay in
children's teeth by about 40 per
cent.
R. D. Frederick, Public Health
representative with the unit, said
the demonstration experiment had
three major objectives. 1t Is de-
signed to acquaint local dentists
with the correct technique for ap-
plication of sodium fluoride; to
train school and public health per-
sonnel in the use of sodium fuoride
and to demonstrate how such q
program can work in the commun-

Council Rule in Montgomery
Will Cost Suuter Three Jobs
Commissioner Posts
And ; Other Offices
Also Affected
By John v. Horner

For one Montgomery County Office
holder the new form Of government
constitutes an ak with sharp edges.
He is Wesley I. Sauter, the
Bethesda builder, who will lose three
jobs when the council-manager sys-
tenn becomes effective January 10
He will be out as county COM
missioner-at $1,000 a year out as
suburban ommissioner-at 1900
and as Montgomery police COM
missioner-at $1,000 more.
The charter under which the new
government will operate abolishes
three other key offices, in addition
to the five county commissioner
positions. These are county treas
urer, attorney to the county COM
missioners and clerk to the COM
missioners.
Those whose jobs are at stake are
John B. Diamond, the treasurer; F..
Barnard Welsh, the attorney, and j..
Ernest Hawkins, clerk.
At 46, Mr.. Sauter is one Of Mont
gomery County's most controversial
political figures. He has been IN the
middle of as many civic battles as
any resident in recent years.
A Republican, his nomination and
subsequent election to the Board OF
Commissioners in 1916 are attributed
to a chance remark in a restaurant.
Overheard to complain about red
tape" and delays in affairs Of the
Montgomery government, some one
asked why he didn't do something
about it. A few days later he did;
he accepted the COP nomination,
ran and was swept into office by the
Republican tide.
He has been a bitter critic not
only of the charter movement but
also Of the present public school ad-
ministration. His attacks on the
school authorities of late were in
connection with the much-debated
curriculum.

Fire Dangers Told
Underwriters

The danger of home fires will
be greater during the next three
months than during any other
part of the year, the National
| board of Fire Underwriters points
out.
Year after year, fire losses
climb as the temperature falls,
the National Board engineers re-
| veal. For that reason, they urge
householders to inspect their
homes to reduce winter fire ha-
yards.
Defective chimneys and flues
cause many of the fires which
break out in homes during the
cold months. Chimneys should be
inspected carefully, and all cracks
and holes should be repaired.
Flues should be cleaned.
Overheated stoves and furnaces
also endanger the home, the fire
experts point out. When heaters
fail to give sufficient warmth,
they should not be forced. In
many cases, the equipment may
need cleaning or repair, and
occasionally a new heater may be
required, but forcing" any heat
ing device is alays dangerous.
Portable heaters should be
cleaned regularly while In use
and kept away from combustibles.
In one state, neglected portable
heaters are listed as the number
n cause Of serious fires in resi-
dences during the past Is years.
The National Board engineers
also suggest that observation OF
these seven rules would reduce
the probability of your home
catching fire:
l. Don't use kerosene to start
fires in stoves or furnaces. Use
rolled or folded newspapers.
2. Refill portable oil heaters
outdoors. Keep portable heaters
where they won't get knocked
over.
3. Don't overload electric cir
cults by plugging in too many
heaters or appliances.
4. Remove all rubbish, old
clothes, or papers from the base
ment and attic, and check to be
sure that no combustibles are
placed close to any heating de-
vice.
S. Always put ashes in a metal
container.
s. Place a tight-fitting metal
screen in front of the fireplace.
7.Learn the quickest way to
summon the fire department, in
case of fire.
And if a fire does break out,
turn in an alarm Immediately and
get everybody out of the house
at once.
