HOOVER ATTACKED
 AGAIN IN SENATE
Reed Criticizes High Salaries Paid to Subordinate EmplOyes of Food
 Administration.
AdniniStra ton.

Washington, March 16.-Senator attack on Food Administrator Hoover and the Food and Fuel administra- tiOns generally in the senate yesterday afternoon during debate on an amend mcnt to the agriculture appropriation bill requiring clerks in the Depart ment of Agriculture to work eight hours day instead of seven, as at present. The amendment finally was adopted, 29 to 28, but is to be effec- tive only during the War.
 Senator Reed said that while giving it's attention to legislation requiring clerks who have grown old in the SerV- ice to give more Of their time to the government congress is overlooking the Unnecessarily high salaries paid in the Food and Fuel administrations. He assailed particularly the pay of the vice-presidents and assistants of the grain corporation, a subsidiary of the Food administration, which, he said, range from $2,4 to $6,000 a year.
 Now let us get the payroll of the national headquarters said the Mis- souri senator. reading from list of employees. Ben S. Allen, $4,800. Now who is Ben Allen? He undoubtedly is very nlce gentleman. Tie was d rep resentative of The Associated Press at London, England. He became the pri- vate secretary to MT. Hoover and ac- companied MT. Hoover to the United states and is now drawing $4,SO0 a year I don't know what his duties are-whether he is still representing the Associated Press, or whether he is dust MT. Hoover's private secretary but his salary is $4,S00 a year."
 MT. Allen doesn't represent The
 Associated Press and hasn't been
 connected with it for nearly three
 years.
 Turning to the Fuel administration, the senator read long list of names of employees and their salaries, which ranged from $3,600 to 5000 a year.
