FUND TANGLE LEFT
BY CONGRESS UNITED
Government Finds Ways Out Of
Predicament Caused by Def
cheney Bill Failure.
MONEY FOUND AVAILABLE
Coast Guard, Tax Refund and Pay
Raises Can Be Met.

The administration has now cleared
up one of the worst of the predica-
ments in which Congress left several
of the executive departments by fail
ure to enact the second deficiency
bill and the field service reclassifica
ton bill.
AT, the White House yesterday
President Coolidge, in conference
with Chairman Madden of the House
appropriations committee and Direc-
tor Lord of the bureau of the budget,
went over the several matters con-
cerned following which it was
learned that agreement had been
reached on satisfactory procedure to
cfear up fiscal distractions relating
to reclassification of the field service,
tax refunds, the coast guard anti
rum smuggling campaign and the
world war bonus.
r Salary Loss Avertcd.
The threatened. loss OF reclassifed
salaries by police, firemen and teach
efs had earlier in the week been
ayerted by decision of Controller
General McCarl. who told the Dis
trict Commissioners the basic law
authorized payment of the increased
salaries, although, the second de-
hciency bill had failed.
After the conference il was an
nounced by Chairman Madden that
the increase in the coast guard would
be carried out as contemplated. He
explained that in lieu of $3.50, 900 in
Les NJ L.
which failed of enactment, the money
would be made available from S10,-
600, 900 apr ropriated to cover the cost
of the increased personnel of the
service for year. This money, he
added, could be appropriated over
six month period to meet present
expenses.
Tax Refund Pay meats.
The estimated tax refund of $l6,-
10000, he said, would be made avail
able by apportioning over a six
month period the $1O5, 100000 appro-
priated to cover the general refund
schedules for the next fiscal year.
Under the field service day order
department heads were instructed to
apportion their appropriations so as
10 cover the adjustment of the COM
pensation of the civilian employees in
the field service to correspond to the
rates established for positions in the
departmental service in the District.
Field service employees whose salaries
are specially fixed by law will not re-
ceive the increase, but Director Lord
said these cases are only l per cent
of the total number.
Director Hines of the Veterans Bu-
reau yesterday informed the Presi-
dent I'VE are going full speed ahead
with the bonus"

"The incident thus involved ques-

respect for contracts and of suprem-
acy of the civil power in the conduct

vitality the academy's educational

there in ordinary academic subjects
can be efficient only in so far as it is
given, not by a constantly changing
succession of naval officers tempora-
rily detached from sea duty. without

body can in the future be recon
structed or detained under such con-
ditions of service and tenure as now

The recent action at Annapolis

for reconsideration by the authorities

PASS HERE TO STAY,
SAYS HARVARD MAN

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, December 18.-
Fred w. Moore, graduate treasurer OF
the Harvard Athletic Association and
member Of the foot ball rules COM
mittee, said today that he felt the
present discussion on the menace of
the forward pass" was a debata BILE
point that was likely to be brought
up for consideration when the rule
makers gather for their annual Mid
winter session.
He said he thought the forward pass
was here to stay, but with possible
limitations or restrictions.
THE aim of the foot ball rules COM
mfttee always has been to keep the
game balanced" he said. land if It is
felt that the forward pass is becom
ing too important a. factor, overbal-
ancing rushing and kicking, some
thing may be done to curb the
tendency.
This seasons returns from foot
ball games throughout the country
would indicate that some teams
weaker in many departments have
scored victories by forward passing.
There is no question that the pass is
dangerous. and yet I believe that it
cannot be ruled out of the game with
out substituting something for it.
"1f it Is agreed that the forward
plan may be reached whereby a
penalty could be inflicted for unsuc-
cessfu passes; say, a 3 or 10 yard
penalty from the point where the ball
was put into play. OF course there
have been restrictions on the pass
from time to time. and I can recall
that the rules committee has dis
| cussed the feasibility of inflicting a
penalty for unsuccessful passes
Whether further restrictions are nee
essary at this time is a debatab lie
point, but ! can see merit to some of
the suggestions"
Moore said he could not agree with
opponents of the forward pass that
1t was handicap to the small col
leges. II believe that the threat Of
fered by the pass is one of the i'm
portant phases of the present game
and that 1t would be mistake to
remove It," he declared.

FRENCH TENNIS TRIO
BRACkETED AT NO. /
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 1S.-Jean Borotra,
Henri Cochet and Rene La Coste are
again officially placed together as the
ranking No. 1 tennis players of
France on the basis of their per-
formances during the 1924 season.
The French Tennis Federation. as
was the case last year has felt itself
unable to make a choice among them
for the No. l, No. and No. posi-
tions
They point out that La Coste, de-
spite winning over Gerald Patterson
and OHara Wood in the Davis cup
matches. cannot be ranked higher
than Borotra. who, besides his fine
work at Wimbledon, defeated La
Coste twice. Also that Cochet. who
won from both La Coste and Bo-
rotra. during 1924. could not be ranke d
lower than either of them, especially
as he was a finalist in the Olympic
competition.
All three of the leading players are
rated as minus 40.
Jean Couiteas and Paul Feret, with
minus 1910. come next, while Louis
Aslangul, Francois Blanchy, Jacques
Brugnon, Marcel Cousin and Jean Sa-
mazouilh fill the positions from sixth
to tenth. Alain Gerbault of transat-
