SENATE TO ACT
ON PENSION FOR CLERK
Senator Jones Would Retire Thomas
Harrison, in Government Service
Sixty-Six Years.

A plea to the Senate to act upon his bill
giving Thomas Harrison. eighty-seven
years old. a clerk at the United States
naval observatory here for. sixty-six
years. a pension of 800 a month, and to
retire him, was made in the Senate yes
terday by Senator Jones of Washington.
NO better case could be cited" said
Senator Jones. Ito show that we ought
to do something for the old and faithful
employees of the civil government"
Senator Jones said that he knew there
was a prejudice against establishing a
civil pension list, but that he believed
Congress could well afford to act in the
case of Mr.. Harrison. He presented a
petition to the Senate urging legislation
to aid the clerk. whose record has been
excellent for SO many years.
Supports Horses; Why Not Men?
The petition recited the fact that the
government has pensioned and is support
ing a number of old horses. many of them
having grown old in the military service.
IF the government can support and
pension old horses" said the petition
surely it can pension a man who has
been in it's service for more than half a
century,
Senator Jones pointed out that if Mr.
Harrison was forced to retire without a
pension he would have no means of sup
porting himself. Mr.. Harrison. he said,
had number of persons dependent upon
him, whom he had been caring for many
years. The very fact that he had sup
ported these persons dependent upon
him had prevented his laying by money
for his old age.
Sought Demotion in Service.
Mr.. Harrison was born in the District
of Columbia January 10, 1928. When he
was eight years old his family moved to
Ohio, but returned to Washington in 1888,
and Mr.. Harrison soon went into the
naval observatory as a clerk. About
three years ago MIR. Harrison, feeling
that he was growing old, actually applied
to the Secretary of the Navy for a de-
motion, feeling that it would be better
for himself not to have the burden of the
heavier work upon him. The demotion
was only granted after repeated efforts
and Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Winthrop wrote him a letter saving that
it was with reluctance that he agreed to
the request after Mr.. Harrison's many
years Of excellent service.
Senator Jones was successful in putting
a bill for the retirement Of Mr.. Harri-
son through the Senate in the last Con-
greSs, but so far no report has been
made from the naval affairs committee
on the bill he introduced during the pres
ent Congress.

WILL Be MORE LIBERAL
TO MILITARY OFFENDERS
New Policy in Treatment of Soldiers
Indicated by War Depart
ment Orders.

Orders just issued by the War De-
partment indicate new and more lib
eral policy in the treatment of mill
tary offenders. 1t is provided that re-
viewing authorities in approving SEN
.tences of general court martial may,
whenever the character of the offense
for which the sentence is imposed and
the facts developed by the evidence in
dictate that there is a probability of
retaining the soldier. to honorable
service. suspend, until the soldiers re-
lease from confinement. the execution
of that part of the sentence providing
for dishonorable discharge. Should it
subsequently develop that the soldiers
retention in the service is not warranted

martial jurisdiction over the command
in which the soldier is held will va
cate the order directing a suspension
of that part of the sentence providing
for dishonorable discharge and direct

Chance to Reclaim Themselves.
The object in seeking the legislation
on which the policy is based was to
further the plan of giving soldiers con-
victed of purely military offenses an
opportunity to reclaim themselves and
gain restoration to the colors through
service in disciplinary companies. Re
viewing authorities are instructed to
aid in the accomplishment of this OBJ
ject by discrimina ting action in passing
upon sentences. 1t is declared that
members of a court martial may prop

A soldier who has been sentenced to
dishonorable discharge and in whose

discharge has been suspended will con-
tinue to be carried on the rolls of his
organization. Soldiers SO carried will

CONTRACT PRESENTS
A WORRYING PROBLEM
American Manufacturers of Bunting
Protest Acceptance of an
English Bid.

The Secretary of the Navy has another
problem in contracts, this time one re-
lating to the purchase of a supply of
bunting for the navy. Some weeks ago
bids were received for this material from
four concerns. One was that of an
English manufacturer. and 1t proved to
be the lowest by nearly $40, 600 as com
pared with the next lowest The English
bid was s25.617. The next bid amounted
to $4,000, and. while an American con-
Germ submitted it, the material was to
come from an English manufacturer The
other bids were much higher
Protests From Manufacturers,
The Navy Department has received pro-
tests from American manufacturers and
labor organizations against an award OF
contract which shall seem to favor
foreign source of supply. even when the
contractor is an American who buys
the material abroad. 1t is pointed out
that this action will send good American
money out Of the country for the benefit
of European laborers and deprive the
domestic shops and the American work
men of business and wages. The poIiti-
cal opponents of the administration
nave pcSH quiSh " see lIle advantage
of advertising policy which appears
to favor the foreign to the detriment of
the American iaborer.
Is Perplexing Situation.
These circumstances place the admin
istration in something of a predicament
and leave the Secretary of the Navy
in more or less of a perplexity. The
difference in the bids is sufficient to
make it necessary to carefully consider
the foreign bids. which on this one con-
tract represents a saving OF nearly
$4,000. it is pointed out, while the po-
litical capital which may be made out
of the continuance of the policy of
placing navy contracts abroad is some
thing which may not be lightly disre-
garded.

has, for the first time in his ca
reer, followed a Republican as
