both hurdle events and tied with
his teammate, George Fielder, for
first place in the high jump. He
thus scored ID points.

Another Truck Strike
is Voted as Builders
Settle One Dispute

A meeting has been scheduled
by the Federal Mediation and
Cancellation Service for this after
noon in an attempt to avert a new
strike threatened by the cement
truck drivers of Washington's
multimillion dollar construction
industry.

last night to strike at 7 am. to-
morrow after rejecting a final
management offer of either a
scents increase this year
and another scent increase next
year or a straight 712-cent in
crease for two years.
The Federal Mediation and Con-
ciliation Service. which was Sue
cessful last night in efforts to
avert strike of dump truck driv-
ers, will try today to bring repre-

drivers and their employers back
into collective bargaining confer
ences.

drivers could cripple operations
on such large construction prof.
ects as the General Accounting
Office Building, the Dupont Circle
underpass and new buildings at
Gallinger and st. Elizabeths Hos
pitals. Construction of new apart
ment houses and office buildings
also would be affected.

had scheduled a strike for Z am.
today signed a new contract at Z
pm. last night after a series of
negotiation meetings arranged by
Federal Conciliator Gilbert Nc
Cutcheon. ty
The dr1verS accepted an increase
of 16"cents an hour. Originally
they had askedsfor 80 2scent4sand
the employers had offered 10
cents. The 16-cent increase raised

Heat Promises
To Set Records
In Use Of Water
July Consumption
Already Exceeds
Highest Average

The hottest July In years will
break all records in water con-
sumption, David v. Auld, superin-
tendent of the Water Division,
predicted today.
The water consumption this
month already is more than 190,-
100000 gallons a day for Wash
ington proper. The June average
was more than 10000, 900 a day.
These figures compare with the
record average daily consumption
of 170,000,000 last August.
Before this summer, the highest
single days output was 216,000.000
for the whole sysetm, including
Arlington consumption and some
in Maryland, on August ID. 1948.
236,000,0O0 Used July 6.
The top day so far this sum-
mer was July 6, when the total
output was 100000. Yester-
day the total output was 229, ,000,-
900.
Washington proper used 213,-
100000 gallons of water yesterday.
as compared with the record fig
ure of July of 216,500,000.
Maryland took a little over g.
100000 yesterday and Arlington.
12,333,000. Maryland makes up
its deficit from the District
through the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission.
Supply Good.
Mr.. Auld said the water supply
is in good shape and while the
water division wants residents to
conserve all they can, there is no
necessity for restrictions on such
use as lawn -sprinkling at present.
The water consumption figures
have continued to climb over
recent years without any signif-
icant increase in population, Mr..
Auld pointed out, because of the
weather and some air conditioning
installations.

Jurists and Lawyers
Urge hiehe Salaries
For Federal Judges ,

7 Federal judges asked Congress
today for q raise In salary. and
spokesmen for various lawyers
organizations supported them.
Judges from various sections Of
the country appeared before a
House Judiciary subcommittee to
urge approval Of legislation which
would provide, in general, $4,000
pay increases for members OF the
Federal judiciary. Federal Dis
trict Judges now receive $4,000
a year.
Among representatives OF bar
groups also testifylng in behalf OF
the raises was Jerome Barnard,
president of the District Bar AS
sociation. He said the association
Fundamentally indorses" a sub
stantial salary boost for Federal
Judges.
Chief Judge Harold M. Stephens
Of the United States Court of
Appeals here was to be heard this
afternoon.
The judges and lawyers who
testified today said the raises are
justified by the heavy case loads
Of Federal courts. the high sal
aries now being paid for less
strenuous service on high State
courts and the greater financial
return potential jurists of high
competence can obtain in private
law practice.
It was pointed out that the
scope Of business coming before
Federal courts is much wider than
that handled by the paramount
court in most States. A Federal
jurist may be called on for the
knowledge Of an engineer in a
patent case. that of a literary
critic in a--copyright matter and
