Capt Pollock said the salaries paid

are not considered adequate in many
cases. Capt. Bassett said that, while
reclassification had provided meas

clerical and fiscal employees are not
receiving adequate pay for the class
Of service required of them, and he
fears that if this condition is allowed
to continue the hydrocraphic offlr"

Shortage Of Civilian Employees.
This, in itself. would he serious

told that credit purchasing of cloth

Socialism" Attacked.
The committee report on general

In It's report the committee said

ing to protect the public interests. but
it can properly object to regulations

This declaration was interpreted in
statement by the league as suggest

government and business" and that
it would be better for the public Ito

eliminated by economic conditions and
then have the Government regulate

exactly parallel to set of purposes
adopted by the recent conference on

Much waste was seen in the com
