Government girls interested in
the dos and don'ts of correct
office etiquette and job grooming
can begin the dos by throwing
away their low-heeled shoes and
covering up those sun-back dress
tops and bare legs.
And for those who go of the
deep end about job grooming and
etiquette, a firm girdle, a short
cut hair do and an end to Clip
dangling" cigarette smoking are
required.
These simple hints are only the
beginning in job-grooming
course, to be offered to Govern
ment girls here beginning Monday
in thei Agriculture Department.
The complete course, sponsored
by a Detroit cosmetic and beauty
school firm, combines a fashion
review, wardrobe planning and
budgeting, job etiquette and ac-'
cessory tricks with a personal
grooming session including make
up, figure problems and hair styles
and care.
Sit Down for Phoning.
They'll learn to walk and stand
correctly, stomachs in. shoulders
back, chests out and bottoms
tucked under.
And when talking on the tele-
phone, they'll hear about the cor
rect etiquette of sitting down, in
stead of lounging all over the desk
in a bent-over. crouching position,
head down and back up.
Miss Edith Wann, fashion CO.
ordinator for the organization, in
tends to teach the students word
for this 1--WE call this inviting the
slap position" she said.
Miss Wann also added. after
taking a survey of Washington's
male population, that low-heeled
shoes are passe with men. The
men, it seems. prefer high heel
and a well-turned ankle with the
new-look longer skirt now in style.
Most of the job etiquette and
grooming are presented to the
Government girls in the form of
short skits, acted out by Detroit
models, who display the right and
wrong way of dressing and acting.
Straight backs and legs firmly
planted on the floor. skirts
Strengthened below the knees

Lehman Asserts
D. Undertakes
Racial Problem
ConsuItont Warns
Of World Attention
On Incident Here

DR.. Joseph D. Lehman, Univer-
sity of Chicago race relations ex-
pert, who completes his course OF
instruction to Park Police today
finds a rather local or provincial
concept" in Washington Of the
Importance of the interracial
problem.
He warned that if an incident
were allowed to get out of hand
it would be not merely of neigh
borhood Importance but, because
Washington is the Capital, would
attract attention everywhere.
DR.. Lehman has been in Wash
ington this week under an ar
rangement with the Interior De-
partment. He has been lecturing
to the Park Police and representa-
tives of the Metropolitan Police on
how racial tensions can be under
stood and incidents prevented OF
minim1zed If they occur.
Endorses Interracial Unit.
In a press conference yesterday
DR.. Lehman was asked the value
of interracial committees in COM
munities. He said later that such
committees. IF not loaded" can
be of extraordinary usefulness to
a city. They are of most value
when linked to a city'S govern
ment, he said.
It must be clear that the mem
bers of such a committee have no
ak to grind, he said. He suggested
that the President, because Of his
disinterested position, might ap-
point a group of distinguished
citizens to such a committee here.
In answer to A question, he said
he was not awl IRE that Washing
ton has an interracial commit
tee. It is composed Of II white
and 17s colored citizens, headed
by Clifford H. Newell, former
head of the Federation Of Citi-
zens' Associations.
Criticized As Unfit.
Mr.. Newell and John H. Con-
naughton, now president of the
Federation. last Monday aimed
a blast at DR.. Lehman, saying
he was unfit for the job he was
doing here. They based their
Judgment on the fact DR.. Lob
man was secretary of the Com
mittee on Segregation in the Ma
tons Capital. which issued q. re-
port a year ago. Mr.. Newell and
Mr.. Connaughton said the report
was filled with inaccuracies and
half truths"
Mrs. Alice c. Hunter, colored
member of the District Recreation
Beard, took issue with Mr.. Con-
naugftor. pointing out that the
committee had never met, and
that he had no right to speak for
it. Mrs. Hunter was one Of those
invited to serve on the committee
Asked whether he had noted
greater tension here now than
when his committee prepared its
segregation report. DR.. Lehman
said he would hesitate to say So
DR.. Lehman will be presented
by WMAL-TV on a television pro-
gram at 7:80 o'clock tonight. Ed
ward j. Kelly, special assistant to
the superintendent of the Ma
tional Capital Parks, will appear
with him, and the program will
be moderated by Richard Ken
dali. ABC commentator.

$1,000 Raise Sought
For All U. 5. Judges
In Keoeh Measure
By Chris Mothisen

The salaries of all Federal judges
would be increased $4,000 under a
bill to be introduced in the House
tomorrow by Representative Keogh,
Democrat, of New York.
The measure would raise the pay
of Supreme Court associate justices
from $2S, 900 to $4,000 a year and
that of the Chief Justice from
$25,500 to $30,500.
Characterizing the jurists of the
Nations highest court as "woefully
underpaid," considering their judi
cial Importance, Mr.. Keogh pointed
out the presiding judge of the
appellate division of the New York
State Supreme Court now gets
s3l.5 500, and the associate judges re-
ceive $4,000.
Helped Revise District Code.
Mr.. Keoghr said the bill probably
will be referred to the House Judi
ciary Committee, to be headed by
Representative Celler, Democrat, of
New York.
Both Mr. Keogh and Mr.. Celler
represent Brooklyn districts. Mr.
Keogh, an attorney, is a former
chairman Of the House Committee
on Revision of the Laws, the work
OF which inluded the current edi-

ton Of the District Code. That COM
mittee was abolished in the Con-
gressional Reorganization Act.
The Keogh bill would raise the
salaries of the judges Of District
Court here from $4,000 to $40, 900,
and the same increase would apply
to Federal District Court judges
elsewhere. Noting their relatively
recent pay boost from $4,000 to
$4,000, Mr.. Keogh said most of
them, particularly those serving in
large metropolitan centers, still are
"underpaid and overworked."
He said the situation is most acute
here, where the judges of District
Court are required to hear a large
number of criminal cases of the sort
handled by State courts elsewhere.
Chief Judge Bolitha j. Laws OF
District Court would be paid $20,-
500 under his bill. Mr. Keogh pointed
out, preserving the present differen-
tial over associate judges.
Other raises provided for in the
measure include:
Judges of the United States Court
of Appeals here and of Federal
Circuit Courts Of Appeal, from ST.
500 to $22, 500.
Claims Judges to Get $22.500.
Judges of the Court of Claims,
from $17,500 to $22,500.
Judges of the Customs Court, from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Judges of the Tax Court of the
United States, from $4,000 to $2O,-
