Commissioners Back
Police, Firemen Bill
On Holiday Double Pay

The Commissioners have ap-
proved proposal to amend legis-
lation pending in Congress to pro-
vide double pay for police and
f1remen working on holidays.
A bill introduced in the Senate
January 8 by Chairman Neely of
the District Committee would
permit compensatory time off for
members of the Metropolitan,
White House and United States
Park police forces and the Fire
Department who work on hoh-
days.
The proposal for double pay.
rather than compensatory time,
was sent to the Commissioners in
a letter from 1t. Alvin E. Davis.
president of the District Firemen's
Association.
Overall Savings Seen.
lie contended the overall cost
OF the amendment would be con-
siderably less than that proposed
by the original bill. He sent
figures indicating that about %
additional men would be needed
under the compensatory time
plan, at a salary cost the first
year of $70,779.
In six years, according to the
statistics, this cost would reach
$50, 1888.
Under the proposed amend
ment, however. the total cost of
paying extra for holidays would
be $50.064 a year, the figures in
dicated.
No Day-Off Provision.
1t. Davis declared also that no
provision was made in the original
bill for compensating man whose
regularly assigned day off fell on
a holiday.
He pointed out that the Senate
bill originally was written more
than year and a half ago, when
the manpower situation was dif-
ferent.
"A bill that would require ad-
ditional personnel at this time
would be ill-advised and the
solution would seem to lie in COM
pensating present employees for.
holidays" he wrote.

Teacher Salary
Letters Flood
Annapolis Mail
Appeals Directed
From Prince Georges
But Not Montgomery
BY O ssaff eesrsspendsnt Of The s.er

y
ANNAPOLIS. Feb. 24.-The e
Prince Georges County delegation
lis being flooded with letters urg-
ing the group to support the State
Department Of Education's pro-
posal for $500 annual teacher
salary raise.
Most Of the letters are from
county teachers who say they ''re-
sent" Gov. McKeldin's opposition.
The Governor announced early
this week the State could not af-
ford such a program, explaining
1t would cost nearly SO million
year.
Delegation members said they
have not yet considered the ques-
ltion.
Increased Costs Cited.
One Of the letters to the Prince
Georges delegation came from
Miss Sarah L. Letter, president OF
the county Teachers Association.
Another was signed by Russell
10. Eekert, who said the increase
is necessary ito attract and keep
competent teachers SO our Mary
land educational system will not
suffer in this emergency as it did
in recent war years."
Other letters cited increased
taxes and higher living costs as
reasons for more pay.
The Montgomery County dele
cation, strangely enough, reported
that it had received no such let
ters. One Montgomery delegate
said that probably was because of
the relatively high teacher scale
in that county.
The executive committee of the
Montgomery County Council of
Parent Teacher Associations, how
ever, has gone on record in favor
of the proposed increase.
Criticize Governor.
Meeting in special session with
the County Board of Education at
Rockville on Wednesday, the COM
mittee criticized Gov. McKeldins S
firm opposition" to the higher
scale. Members of the Board of
Education observed that the pro-
posed State scale would not auto
matically increase the pay received
by Montgomery County teachers
because the county scale is above
the proposed State schedule. How
ever. State contributions to the
county's school budget would be
increased.
Meanwhile, Senator Edward
Turner. Democrat. Of Queen
Annes County. chairman of the
Senate Democratic Steering Com
mittee, said his group would not
consider increasing salaries until
teachers themselves or the State
Department of Education pre-
sented tax program.

Poultry Strike
Still On Despite
Return Of Few
DeImurvu WuIkout
Brings Increase in
Price of Chickens

A few truck drivers who carry
dressed chickens from the Del
marva Peninsula were back at
work today. but an estimated
$500 warehouse workers and driv-
ers continued their strike over
wages.
The strike has resulted in price
increases of 3 to 3Ea cents pound
for broilers here, although Office
of Price Sterilization officials said
this apparently was contrary to
the price freeze.
While there were some signs
that the strike, which began Mon
day, was losing force, both sides
agreed there had been no settle
ment.
Violations Are Seen.
With fewer broilers reaching
the markets-chiefly New York
from the Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia producing area, prices
rose. In Washington poultry deal
ers said 21a-pound broilers m
creased 8 cents to a price of 81
cents; 3-pound chickens were 3s
cents a pound. up 31a cents, and
3Ea-pound birds were 80 cents a
pound. an increase of cents.
Price of live chickens was re-
ported generally unchanged, and
an OPS official said that under
such circumstances the price rise
to wholesalers appeared to be in
violation of regulations.
It was explained that as long as
the farmers price is under parity
he may raise it, and only then
may it be passed on through the
various stages to the consumer.
One poultry dealer here said he
was forced to pay the higher prices
and the increase was passed On
while he maintained his markup
unchanged.
Poultry Receipts Drop.
Nine of IA truck drivers at one
processing plant on the Eastern
Shore were reported back at work
today, and IA of 16 were reported
back at another plant.
The union contends the walk
out in the wage dispute has closed
three packing plants and ham
pered production at four others
on the Eastern Shore of Maryland
and Delaware, one of the coun-
try's biggest broiler-growing re-
gions.
William r. Mcknight, Delmarva
crop-reporting specialist, said his
reports showed poultry receipts at
New York Wednesday dropped
from a normal supply of about
10000 boxes of dressed chickens to
$500 boxes. Three-pound chick
ems we're being sold at 36 and 81
cents pound.
Paul B. Reynolds of Bridgeville,
Del, president of Local 876 of the
AFL Chauffeurs, Warehousemen
and Helpers Union. has not dis
closed what wage condition it is
asking. Mr.. Reynolds said many
members were getting only the
minimum wage of rs cents an
hour.

AT Price War Bargain Counters

Macy's charges regular prices from

Macy's, Gimbels and other stores
exhausted stocks of many goods
like summer suits and toasters
but hordes of buyers attacked
Iother counters and bought other
Items.
| In spite of the cuts, several
stores announced above-normal
dollar volumes in the consumer
rush.
Price slashes were not so deep
as on Thursday. but a few new
items entered the fray. There
were indications that the retailers
had dropper about as far as they
can go-to cost.
Several stores increased costs of
some items and set prices rolling
back up to their original levels.
Rumors of Truce.
There were rumors of a truce
next week, but there were just as
many reports that the battle had
only started.
Truce expectations centered
around the exhausted supplies
and the Eversharp and Palm
Beach ultimatums to Macy'S, who
started the price war by an
nouncing 6 per cent cuts on some
fair-tra items last Tuesday.
Both Eversharp and Palm
Beach manufacturers said their
action was due to Macy's failure
to maintain fair trade agreements.
Macy'S has said it never signed
such agreements.
Acts "Defensively."
In addition, Goodall Fabrics,
Inc, Palm Beach manufacturers,
pointedly said It was boycotting
only Macy's.
E. L. Ward, Goodall president,
said in Chicago that other stores
had acted "defensively" against
Macy's.
But one newspaper reported
that Macy's president, Richard
We'll, jr., said he would get mer-
chandise, including Palm Beach
suits, despite Goodall's action.
We'll did not elaborate, according
to the report.
