President Harding is to recon-

Flag on White House
Upside Down Only
a Mistake

When the flag on the White
House was unfurIed upside
down to the breezes today there
was something akin to con-
sternation among those who
read the signs.
Such a position of Old Glory
means distress" in the Ian
guage of the emblem, so, natu-
rally, there was great curiosity.
It is presumed that army and
navy officers, expert on flag
signs, telephoned, while others
called the attention of the cops
to the signal displayed over the
Executive Mansion.
1t did not take long for the
White House officials to explain
that there was no distress"
within that would cause the
ominous signal, and it was also
not long before the mistake
was corrected. Several times
before a similar mistake has
been made.

FINDS D. c. PAY
RATES ARE
PROPER
Donovan Defends Bureau Of
Efficiency and Puts Blame
For Conditions on Law.

Daniel J. Donovan, District Audi
tor, and chairman Of the Commits
sioners' committee on classification
of District employees, issued a state
ment today denying that the bureau
of efficiency was unfair in allocating
positions.
ut has been made to appear in
printed statements that the bureau
placed the District temployes in
grades carrying lower salaries than
it placed Federal employees doing the
same kind of work. his statement
said. 1.-THE bureau did nothing OF
the kind. It treated the District and
Federal employees precisely alike.
Since the employees OF the gov
eminent of the District OF Columbia
are generally receiving lower rates
of pay than employees of the Fed
eral Government doing similar
work, it follows that In the first
instance the employees of the Dis
trict government will. on the aver
age, receive lower compensation
than the employees of the Federal
service.
"The law would seem to con-
template that at the second and
subsequent adjustments all EN-.
ployes shall be given the same rates
of pay for the same kind of work
when performed with equal eff
cheney.
"The Bureau of Efficiency il, Of
course, in no way responsible for
either the fact that a larger per-
centage of employees in the District
service are below the minimum
salary of the grade than is found
in the Federal service, or for the
rule which requires that at the first
ALLEGATION employees receiving sal
aries below the minimum shall be
brought only to the minimum of the
grade.
THE work of classifying the
salaries of the District employees was
done by the Bureau of Efficiency in
cooperation with the officials of the
District Government in manner en-
tirely satisfactory to the District
Commissioners.
1T is only fair to say that the
published statements do not repre-
sent the attitude or feeling or Dis
trict authorities toward the Bureau
of Efficiency"
