District Heads Hear
Plea on Inequities in
Fire and Police Paw

The Commissioners yesterday
met to hear views Of policemen
and firemen on recent pay in
creases and heard suggestions
from the f1remen's and police
mems associations on means Of
correcting inequities.
An amendment to the legis-
lation Of last year has been pro-
posed by Representative Kearns,
Republican, Of Pennsylvania. It
would boost the pay of firemen,
correcting differences in pay be-
tween f1remen and policemen.
A hearing will be held by q
subcommittee Of the House Dis
trict Committee tomorrow.

Clarence Lutz, head Of the po-
lice association. presented their
cases.
The flremen believe more men
should be classified as techni.
clans and get additional pay.
The proposed bill would increase
the pay Of inspectors assigned
to Glass II by $500 and those
in Class ! by $3.50 a year.
The bill also would increase
the pay of privates assigned TO
special duty by $500 a year.
Acting sergeants would get the
same raise instead of the present
$40 a year.
$74,126 Budget Boost.
Between so and 100 men would
get the increase. according to
the Personnel Department Of
the District Government and, &C
cording to Fire Department Off
Gals. it would increase their
budget by $74,126 a year, Of
which $40,500 would be for tech
nicianS alone.
The firemen want tillermen
and pump operators to be classi-
fed as technicians. The Per-
sonnet Department wants set
of ground rules set up for ad.
ministrative purposes so the
Commissioners do not have to
go to Congress every time the
pay question is brought up.
The Commissioners have taken
the bill under consideration.

Although she has been in this

Diane dislikes washing dishes,
