president of the AFL American
Federation of Government En-
ployes, says his organization may
decide to support the wage board
method of fixing salaries for al
Government workers.
Such a method was proposed by
the Hoover Commission, but en-
ploye groups have opposed it.
Mr.. Wainwright says ne feels q
wage board setup, whereby salaries
of Federal classified employees
would be determined by the cost
of-living and comparable private
Industry wage scale in their own
communities, would be more
realistic.
"At the present time. a GS-5
employe in Mobile, Ala. makes
the same salary as a GS-5 en-
ploye in Washington, despite the
fact that living costs in Washing
ton are considerably higher" Mr..
Wainwright remarks. "The result
is that the employe in Washing
ton actually makes less money
than the one in Mobile, since his
dollar doesn't go as far"
Also, the wage board setup is
much quicker in the matter of
adjusting salaries, Mr.. VAIN
wright says. Classified employees
have found out to their sorrow
how long it takes Congress to act
on salary increases requests" he
said.
UPWARD ADJUSTMENTS
Meanwhile, another pay raise for
the 10000 Government per diem
workers here may be in the offing
by Christmas.
The Defense Department is
completing it's wage board survey
preparatory to issuing pay boost.
The increase is expected to aver
age about to 9 cents an hour.
However, the employees may only
get S to 6 cents of it at first, since
this is the amount that brings
the employees up to the cost of
living increase since their last
raise and Wage Sterilization
Board approval is not needed.
The extra 2 or 8 cents will re-
quire WSB approval and this
probably cannot be acted on until
after the first of the year.
In any event. WSB approval will
make the additional boost retro
active to the date when the De-
fense Department first announces
the pay increases.
SUPERVISORS - Meanwhile,
the Army and Air Force Depart
ments have joined the Navy De-
partment in boosting the pay of
per diem supervisors. The in
creases will range from 4 to 40
cents an hour.
The Navy Department put a
Isimilar schedule into effect some
months ago.
The employees involved are super
visors whose pay is fixed by wage
boards. About 500 of them are in
Washington. More than $4,000
are in the field.

New Hassock Useful
In Creating Three
1eIevision Seats
By D. M. Derwin

The advent Of television in the
American home has very definitely
left its imprint on our mode and
method of living. With each pass
ing week, we find new thoughts
expressed in architectural plans,
in room layout and furniture.
One unit of furniture that has
undergone recent changes by one
manufacturer is an ottoman or
hassock upholstered in three Sec
tions so that it can be quickly
converted into three extra seats
or tables. To all outward appear
ances this .hasSock is much like
any other. IL inches high and re-
quiring approximately one-and-
one-half square feet of floor space,
but within its framework are three
seats, each 17la inches high.
In such manner, young TV
guests can sit and watch their
favorite programs without finger
printing or marking the fine fur
niture in the room. Sturdily and
strongly made, each Of these in
dividual seats will also comfort
ably support the weight of an
adult up to 400 pounds.
When the youngsters are not
watching television, this hassock
can be converted into a three
piece set of furniture for small
fry-a table and two seats.
On occasion, as the mood in
huenceS one, the haSsock can be
converted into a graceful coffee or
cocktail table, either 81 inches
long, IA inches wide and 1712
inches high, or one A. long. 10"
wide and 1712" high.
On still other occasions. two of
the seats may be opened up to
serve as end tables for a chair or
sofa. The unit is so versatile that
the average housewife will find
endless additional uses for it and
in it find the answer to that age
old problem of where to find a
place to seat an unexpected group
that suddenly decides to visit.
Each section of this hassock is
approximately 10 inches long, IA
inches wide and 4 inches deep. 1t
Is within these four inches that
the mahogany finished hardwood
legs are concealed, as well as the
iron braces which hold the legs in
place.
The hassock Is upholstered in
durable plastic fabric that is
easily cleaned with soap and water
and is also resistant to fire. alco-
hol, sun. rain, acids, oils and

green and yellow.

Question: I have two rows of
concrete blocks forming the base
Of my garage wall. These blocks
have no footing, they were merely
placed on top of the concrete floor
slab and anchored there. When
ever it rains the floor of the garage
is always wet. Is there any way
that this can be eliminated? Water
seems to run down the blocks and
underneath at the bottom.
Answer: If the water comes
through at the point where the
slab and the block join, it would
be advisable to rake out the NOR
tar and fill the joint with caulk-
ing compound applied with a
caulking gun. The rest of the
blocks should be given a couple
of coats of dampproof cement
base paint, the kind that comes in
powder form and is mixed with
water.
Cracks In a Concrete Floor.
Question: I have a new concrete
floor in the cellar that is about
year old. Cracks measuring about
1854 of an inch wide have de-
veloped. They are approximately
S to 8 feet long. Can you advise
any way of filling such cracks by
using rubber base paint or con-
crete filler?
Answer: Such cracks are
primarily surface cracks. having
little or no thickness, and could
be eliminated by rubbing down
with an abrasive stone or sand
paper. If you intend painting the
floor. give the cracks a thin coat of
paint and, after it is dry, coat the
floor in the usual manner.

Question: I have a table that
is about rs years old and was made

has been taken off, and I would

The Washington Housing AS
sociation has refused to consider
8 compromise plan for member
ship in the United Community
Services, The Star learned today.
The compromise plan was
offered to the housing association
at It's November Board of Direc-
tors meeting by Thomas Devine
of Community Research AsSoci-
ates. the organization hired by
the UCS to conduct the evaluation
of the housing group.
Last May, the UCS Board of
Trustees voted to rescind an ac-
ton taken the previous month,
ousting the housing group from
the Community Chest.
Survey Ordered.
At the same meeting, the UCS
adopted a resolution calling for a
study of the purposes and methods
of the association, to be made by
some outside group. The Com
munity Research Associates of New
York, was hired.
THE board of directors of the
VIVA was astonished at this pro-
posal by the man who is supposed
to be an impartial investigator, "
Campbell c. Johnson, president of
the housing group, said in letter
to Charles c. Glover III, president
of the UCS.
A spokesman for the VIVA said
Mr.. Devine asked to be invited to
the meeting to talk to the members.
He emphasized that he was
making this proposal on his own
responsibility" Mr.. Johnso
pointed out.
Compromise Plan.
THE PLAN" according to the
minutes of the VIVA directors
meeting, "calls for Chest support
for the VIVA for a year after the
current drive. During the second
year G954) and for the first six
months of 1855, the Chest would
undertake to obtain a reasonable
amount of money for VIVA from
Individual large contributors
not board members, close friends
or enemies of WHA-although
this sum would not come from
Chest funds. At the end of 21a
years, VIVA would be financially
independent of the Chest"
In a discussion that followed
the proposal, the minutes went on
to say: THE Board of Directors
(of the WHA) asked Mr.. Devine
why he should make this compro-
mise offer to UCS. Mr.. Devine
replied that, If the offer came
from UCS it would appear that
UCS was trying to buy out
WHA," the minutes stated.
Mr.. Devine told the board that
Mr.. Edward j. Keyes, executive
director OF the Community Chest,
and Mr.. Ferdinand V. Grayson,
executive director of the UCS, feel
that the initiative for this plan
should come from the WHA," the
minutes said.
Need Is Cited.
Mr.. JohnSon'S letter said the
proposal was particularly surpris-
ing, since he had said in his
direct statement that he found
the housing association to be do
ing a good job within the limits
