A Senate labor subcommittee
heard William H. Press, of
the Metropolitan Washington
Board of Trade. oppose and
Walter j. Mason, of the ALL
CIO, favor boosting maximum
weekly benefits from $54 to $40.
This would demand higher
payments from employers in
the District than in surround
ing suburbs of Maryland and
Virginia and threaten an ex-
odus of businessmen from the
city, Mr.. Press argued.
Mr.. Mason said that in
creases still would deprive priv
ate employees injured on the
job of weekly benefits now
guaranteed Federal workers in
Washington by law. Yet, Fed
eral and private employees draw
comparable wages here, he
said.
District Law Lacking
The District system has been
tied to the longShoremen's bill
since 1928 after failure to win
agreement in Congress on a
District law.
Mr.. Press asked that the Dis
trict be cut out of pending
legislation because of separate
bills now pending before con-
gressional District Committees
to set up a city system. Mr.,
Mason insisted that Congress
owed private employees of the
District fairer injury payments,
both as an example to the
States and to align private
benefits more closely with pay
mentS to Federal workers.
The $40 weekly ceiling in
the House-cleared bill repre-
sents 662s per cent of average
maritime pay of $104.61 weekly
a percentage fixed as Federal
policy.
But the proposed $40 benefit
is about 80 per cent Of the
average 1929 weekly wage OF
private employees in the Dis
trict.

the year just ended the county
made the big switch to a three
level system-elementary, in
termediate and high.
Thanks to years of plan
ing, everything came off beau
tifully," says veteran Supt. w.
T. Woodson.
And by years, Mr.. Woodson
meant years. The first inkling
of the change, officials say,
goes back at least to 1855.
A move such as this takes a
tremendous amount of work
and coordination. Not only
must a new curriculum for the
contemplated new level be
worked out thoroughly on an
accredited basis, but qualified
teachers must be assembled and
the buildings constructed and
ready for use. Major slipups
would endanger the quality of
training received by every stu
dent in the newly created
group. theoretically, the losses
in the caliber of training would
follow them into high school
and perhaps even into college.

spread on a worn linoleum

does not sell her work.
Real art is a story of love.

character.
Il have been offered to

Plans now contemplate in

training, would be enough to
get the citizen-soldiers in shape
for rugged field service.
Talks with Army officials
make it clear that many prob
lens remain to be solved before
realization Of Mr.. Kennedy's
plan to mount a force Of 10
Guard and Reserve divisions
set to move to trouble spots
within a few weeks after being
ordered to duty.
There was an undercurrent
of skepticism that the plan
ever would work out the way
Mr.. Kennedy outlined it to
Congress.
Plans Being Developed
In q special message, the
President said the Army "is
developing plans to make pos
sible a much more rapid de-
ployment of a major portion Of
its highly trained reserve
forces"
When these plans are COM
pleted, he said, two combat
equipped divisions could be
ready in an emergency for op-
erations with but three weeks
notice, q total Of 10 divisions
with less than eight weeks
notice.
Not the smallest of the prob
lens is re-equipping the Guard
divisions, now using mostly
World War II vintage gear.
High Priority Units
And there is a political prob
lem, too. Army officials indi-
Gated some Governors will have
to be persuaded to give UP
strength in Guard units under
their control to permit building
up of divisions earmarked for
the quick reaction reserve
force.
OF the q infantry and
armored divisions in the Ma
tional Guard, seven infantry
divisions are designated as high
priority units constituting a
ready reserve.
These seven divisions, whose
identity is kept secret, would
be the first to be drawn on for
eme me.gency duty, Army officers
said.
The other three divisions for
the quick reaction force con-
templated by Mr.. Kennedy like
ly would come from among 10
Reserve combat infantry di-
visions.
Recent Army Duty
Six of these reserve divisions
are rated as priority units be-
cause they have higher auth
orized strength levels. They are
the 77th of New York, the 18th
Of Pennsylvania, Delaware and
Maryland, the 83d of Ohio and
West Virginia, the Goth Of Tex
