Inaugural Extension
OF Liquor Hour Barred

The Commissioners today turned
down a request from group of
restaurant men that they be per-
mitted to sell beer and liquor until
4:30 am. during inaugural Week.
Two of the three members of the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
had indicated they had no objec-
ton to approval of the request.
The restaurant men had argued
they should be permitted to sell the
beverages after the usual 2 am.
deadline to protect visitors to
Washington from "gouging" by
after-hours clubs. They told the
Commissioners the clubs are taking
steps to solicit the patronage of
visitors through taxicab drivers and
others.
The Commissioner have authority
to extend the sale hours except on
Saturday night, when sales must
stop at midnight by law.
Alan Payne and John O'D. Moran
told the restaurant men they would
not object to the extension. Mrs.
Agnes K. Mason, the other member,
said she would not consider the
extension justified.

President Truman today asked
Congress to correct inequalities
in Government pay and increase

recommend another cost-of- -liv-

revise the Classification Act pay

permit payment of more realistic
salaries to career employees and to
correct the dislocations and in
equities created in recent years"
The Government and it's en-

average increase of about 500 per
employe.

No estimate of how much this
would cost was given, but the ad-
ministration feels strongly that an
adjustment is necessary because of
