coNoREssMEN MUST ACCEPT
RAISE IN PAY; MAY RETURN "


Washington. - Comptroller General
McCarl. whose rulings so often have
frightened government purse strings,
now by another rigid contraction Of
law has decided that members OF con-
gress must accept the recent boost
In pay they voted. In the same ruling,
however, the comptroller held there
was nothing TO preclude representa-
lives and senators returning any part
Of their salary as an acquittance to
the government IL they did not wish to
retain 1t.
Mr. McCarl's opinion In the matter
was sought by J. q. Rodgers, sergeant
alarms OF the house, who asked what
he should do when member declined
to accept the Increase. The comptrol-
Ter advised that the rate Of pay fixed
by law must he accepted. and that only
one check could he issued each pay
day" Otherwise he said. the president
or representatives or any members Of
the senate declining a part OF his pay
could nj any time make a claim for II.
Several members ~ the house have
taken the position. Mr. Rodgers IN
formed the comptroller. that they
should he pnid at the former rate OF
$500 a year and asked for checks on
that instead OF the new $4,000 basis,
One member. he said. had declined 10
slgn the pay roll because the increase
was Included.

PRESIDENT PLANS
NEW ARMS PARLEF
AIRCRAFT QUESTION OCCUPIES
LARes PLACE IN LIMITATIONS
TO COMPLETE HARDNG PLAN
Secretary Kellogg 10 Asked to Formu-
late Plans for Naval
Limitations

BY the directions OF President Cool.
Idge, Secretary Kellogg has Initiated
an intensive study OF the minutes Of
the original Washington conference. to
acquaint himself with what transpired
IN regardzstO those elements OF naval
armament for which no formula Of
limitation was found.
The study probably VIII require dis
cussIons with the secretaries OF war
and navy and with the naval and mill
tary experts Of the government, so the
president may be made fully aware OF
the practical and technical aspects Of
the supplemental conference proposal.
There Is no doubt the aircraft ques-
fion occupies a large place In admins
tration consideration Of the arms limis
tation matter.
The president feels there Is oppor-
tunlty now for conference to take up
and complete the work Of the 1921
meeting which laid down the 5-5-3 rule
as to capital ships and also found 1t
possible to limit proportionate aircraft
carrier tonnage and to fix the maxi
mum size Of auxiliary craft and naval
guns. A decision as to extending an
invitation with regard TO a further con-
ference Is unlikely until the secretary
has completed the preliminary survey.
Mr. Kellogg expects to take up with
naval experts the practical possibilities
of a further limitation upon cruisers,
aircraft and other naval auxiliary
craft.
There are many technical matters to
be considered before proposals for llmi-
tation Of cruiser and submarine ton
mage can be formulated, or before the
government itself can
Judge what might be accomplished with
regard 10 aircraft limitation.
The aircraft phase Of any new con-
ference promises to be Of great i'm
portance In view Of developments since
the original naval Limitation treaty
vas signed.
