Cut in Hours
For Firemen
To Be Asked

A proposal to reduce the
work week for District 11remen
will be presented shortly to the
Commissioners.
To carry out the plan, legis-
lation first would be needed to
change the working hours. This
would still leave the problem
Of future budget approval by
Congress.
Schuyler Lowe, head Of the
city's Department of General
Administration, is expected to
submit a shorter work week
plan to the Commissioners
based on requests by the fire.
mems association. The group
said Mr.. Lowe had indicated
he would go along with a pro-
posal to reduce the present
work week, which averages so
hours. to 4S hours in two
steps, a 56-hour week in Octo-
Der, 1860. and a 48-hour week
in January. 1862.
The changeover cost to the
District would total about SIS
million a year. About 250 men
would be added b the force and
several hundred promotions
would be required because Of
the personnel increase and adj
dition Of new work shifts.
About 900 firemen in the
|city's eight battalions would
benefit. Administrative person
mel already is on q 40-hour
week.
The firmen now work alter
nate 50-hour and 70-hour
weeks. This schedule was APP
proved about 10 years ago when
the work week was reduced
from an average Of 70 hours.

in the District would be affected
by a change.
In one area, he said, where
10000 Government workers
were involved. the work hours
Iof $1,000 would have to be
shifted by IS minutes to make
a noticeable change in the
traffic pattern.
Another 26,l50 would have to
report q half hour earlier. he
said.
These findings agree with
those Of the D. c. Transit Sys.
tenn, Inc, in its study of stag.
lgered hours, he pointed out.
Study Near End
The transit company is near
ing completion of o three.
year study from a public trans
Iportation point Of view.
When the District study IL
completed, city officials will
meet with transit officials to
compare notes and set up re-
commentators Of hour
changes to present to the
Bureau of the Budget.
The bureau has the final
say on any changes Of hours
for Government employees, and
is known to be interested in
any measures to alleviate trafie
problems.
Isaac D. Goad. director Of
transportation for D. c. Tran.
sit, said his company's study
also will have to consider
staggering Of local business EN-.
ployes before it's buttoned up.
"All large groups Of employees
in the District will have to b0
lowered to make recommends
tions effective" he said.
But, he continued, the transit
company will approach business
leaders when it has something
tangible to submit to them.

said. This is now being ex-

Without sanction Of the in

said, European nations prob
ably will not participate in any

Bureau Annoyed
When promoters Of the 1889
New York Worlds Fair indi-
Gated to the bureau the United

had been expected to many

BY giving q citizens commits
sion the task ofnaming the host

administration Of having to
make what could be o politi-
cally embarrassing decision.
But the site will have to be
chosen soon. The bureau meets
in November and then won't
meet again for several months.
The United States must form

1864 fair at the November meet
ing. It takes at least four years
to develop q worlds fair once

Members Of the United
States International EXPOSE
ton. Inc, as the Washington
corporation is known, have met
with bureau officials five times
In the past is months. They
say the bureau favors WASH
ington as the site for the fair.
$500 Million Cost
Cost Of . worlds fair here
may run up to $500 million,
Mr.. Press said. OF this q bond
issue would cover about 5000
million and the remainder
would involve OUTLAWS by foreign
governments and private capt.
tai.
The number Of persons the
fair would be expected to draw
would hit about IS million In
q six-month period. That Is Q
few million more than the
Brussels fair drew last year in
Belgium. \
New York promoters talk Of
a $500 million worlds fair
three times the cost Of the
1899 show. The 1899 fair
brought about 81 billion into
the city in tourist and other
business.
Promoters Of the Washing
ton fair have lined up repre-
sentatives Of some Of the Ma
tons top corporations as part
Of q group of advisers. They
include officials Of Standard Oil
Of New Jersey, International
Business Machines, Sears, Roe
buck and other Nationwide
firms.
The pro-Washington group
will open an Office here later
this week, Mr.. Press said.
Few details Of the WASH
ington fair have been released
so far. The site would have to
be within 10 miles Of the city,
Mr.. Press said. One that he be-
lieves to be highly desirable"
is the present location Of Boil
ing and Anacostia air fields.
About 1000 acres would be
needed. Five spots are now un-
