BOOK REVIEW

A DAY TO REMEMBER by
Eliseo Quirino 1858, printed in the
Philippines, available at the Phil-
ippine Emporium, 625 Pine St.,
Seattle, S3.95.
There have been many postwar
books written about the Japanese
Occupation of the Philippines, all
aiming obviously at one objective:
to portray the true picture of life
during a war and under the doui-
nation of an invader.
A DAY TO REMEMBER aims
at this also, but it is written with
vigor that strips the events, to
their naked realities, and the
writer pulls no punches when he
describes the incidents or portrays
the characters.
Mr.. Quirino, who is a product
of the modern American school of
writing - he, being journalism
graduate from the University of
Missouri - writes with unques-
toned proficiency and with "a.
courage that only true journalists
possess.
In over 800 pages, Mr.. Quirino
has offered to the world a COM
pact reading of almost three years
of a peoples life under fear, IN
der torture, under poverty, and
far below the standard which they
had known for decades before the
day of infamy."
The book is written in an en-
gaging and fluent style, and the
reader, once he has begun to read,
will not dare put it aside if he
could help it. The events described
become vivid, vibrant once more
with the raw barbarism and intol-
cradle atrocities of the war. Abnor-
NAL is he whose blood does not
boil as he reads on.-V. A. VeIa SEQ.

Pay Raise Likely
This Session for
Zoo Policemen

The twenty-five officers who
police the Washington Zoo are
likely to win pay raises from
this Congress.
The Senate today received
from its Rules Committee q
House-passed bill jumping Zoe
policemen one pay grade. The
legislation would give a private
5000 instead of $3,755 annu-
ally; a sergeant, $4,490 instead
of $4,000; a lieutenant, $4,9SO
instead of $4,490 and the cap
tain. $5,470 instead of $4,980.
These are minimum pay fig
ures. Officers would be eligible
for regular in-grade raises
above those amounts.
Senator Beall, Republican Of
Maryland, recommended the
legislation because Zoo police
men draw less pay than officers
of any other force in Washing
ton. The increase still would
not put Zoo police on the same
pay level as Metropolitan, Park
White House. Supreme Court
or Capitol policemen.
There are 10 privateS, three
sergeants. two lieutenantS anc

The District Commissioners

ing was bitterly criticized at a
public hearing in July as "tend-

was necessary because the pros

Displacement
Delay PeriIs
Housing Goal

The city'S goal OF safe and
sanitary" housing for all resi-
dents seemed more unattain-
able than ever yesterday as
District officials unsuccessfully
sought homes for 10 large fam
lilies who will be displaced from
Stun neighborhoods.
The National Capital Hous-
ing Authority took up the prob
lem of housing the families
ranging from II to is persons
at the request of John
Remon. chairman Of the Dis
trict Redevelopment Land
Agency.
Mr.. Remon. also a member
Of the housing authority, has
been urging that body to find
a way to house larger families
forced to move from slum
homes torn down by the Re-
development Land Agency.
The authority discussed con-
verting 40 two-bedroom apart
ments in the Frederick Douglas

ever. They said the project
which is now breaking even or
the $47-per-month average rent
paid by tenants. would lose
about $4,000 a year if it dou-
bled the size of the units be-
cause it could not charge any
more for them. And, they added
the 10 families would bring in
an additional 299 children, CON-
Iplicating management and
maintenance problems.
There was some hope ex-
pressed that the 10 families
might be housed in some Of
the 60 f1ve-bedroom units to
be completed soon by the pub
lie housing authority. This
hope was quickly quashed.
Others in Line
Housing authority workers
said they already had SO other
large families who are being
forced to move from slum
clearance projects and con-
demned homes and who quail
fly for the new units.
Unable to find any immedi-
ate solution, the housing au-
lthority board decided it would
ask again for more liberal pub
lie housing laws which would
permit construction Of larger
dwelling units.

District Heads
Approve Job
Accord Plans
Support Stricter
Enforcement on
Non-Discriminution

The District Commissioners
today approved a report by its
Council on Human Relations
urging stricter enforcement Of
a nom discrimination clause In
Government building contracts
here.
The council said there is a
pattern of racial discrimination
among building trade unions in
the District.
The Commissioners decided
to convene a meeting Of lead
ing building contractors with
whom the District has con-
tracts some time next month.
They will seek assurance from
the builders that steps will be
made to comply with the
Districts non discrimination
policy.
Notices to Be Posted
The council, in its report,
recommended that District
building inspectors who check
Government construction jobs
include procedures to assure
compliance with the non-dis-
elimination clause that is in
cluded in every Government
contract.
The Commissioners also APP
proved a council recommends
ton that a printed notice out
lining the non-discrimination
agreement be posted where en-
ployes and applicants for en-
ployment may see it.
The clause provides that the
employer agrees to extend
equal employment opportuni-
ties" to everyone without res
gard to race. color, religion or
national origin.
1T is evident that the pat
tern on noncompliance pre-
walls throughout the entire
building program in which
union craftsmen are employed, "
the councils report said.
The report was taken up to-
day by the Board of Commits
sioners, who met with Leon
Chatelain, jr.. chairman of the
council; Aaron Goldman, vice
chairman, and David Sawyer,
the councils executive director
Pressure On Employer
Discrimination also has been
practiced by building trade
unions in regard to the selec-
ton of trainees and appren-
tices, the report said.
1T is essential that all bar
riers to compliance with the
nom discrimination clause be
eliminated Immediately and
that qualified applicants for
training, including apprentice
ship, be granted such oppor-
tunities for training without
Ibias by labor or management, "
the report said.
The equal job opportunity
provision has been included in
District Government contracts
flor seven years. Mr.. Sawyer
pointed out. He said the
councils recommendations are
aimed to make the clause ef-
fective.
Mr.. Chatelain said that the
Commissioners action in effect
puts pressure on the contractor
to deal with the union in elm
Iinating racial discrimination In
union membership.
The unions, the report pointed
out. have exclusive employe
referral arrangements with
contractors and these arrange.
ments result in a distinct pat
tern Of violation" of the clause

estimates Of the summer ses-
sion program next year have
been based on a possible 375
teachers employed on the IL
month schedule at a cost APP
proximately SAT-. 900.
The superintendent said the
program will not be financed
solely by the taxpayer. He ex-
planned the proposal includes
continuation Of summer school
tuition fees, which will bring
the school system an estimated
$144,000 in revenue next sum-
mer.
Summer school courses would
include additional instruction
in remedial reading, arithmetic,
literature. creative writing
science and fine arts.
Not a Duplication
The summer courses would be
supplemental to the present in
struction program, not a dupli-
cation Of courses offered during
the regular school term.
DR.. Whittier said there prob
ably would be more applications
