PAY
BASIS s
URGED

A mild setback for the cause
of liberalized civil service retire
ment legislation came today.
when a joint congressional COM
mittee heard differences of opinion
about the Stanfield-Lehlbach bill
aired by representatives of the
Pension Bureau and the Fedora
ton of Federal Employees.
John S. Beach, head of the re-
tirement section of the pension
office announced that he pre-
ferred the Garber-Harreld bill to
the Stanfield-Lehlbach measure.
1t developed, however, that the
differences between the two bills
were of a minor character.
Helps Small Employees
ut is my belief that the CARRIER
Harreld bill is more generous to
the small employees that the other
one" said Mr.. Beach. Il think it
is a better measure and it should
be substituted"
The Garber-Harreld bill uses the
salary of 81 500 instead of 800 as
the basis Of computing annuity, and
it retains the maximum annuity al
81 200. Mr.. Beach argued that it's
effect would be to give slightly
larger annuities to the rank and
file Of retired employees.
Senators Press for Action
A large number of Senator'S and
representatives., including Senator's
Ellison ID. Smith. COuzenS and
Tyson and Representatives Lahl-
bach appeared before the commit
tee in general advocacy of a liberal
lied civil service retirement bill.
They presented petitions from
their home constituents. including
scores of organizations OF civil
service employees.
The representatives of the Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees and
other labor organizations will he
heard at later hearing by the
joint Congressional committee. 1t
is hoped to present a retirement
bill to both the House and Senate
within the next two weeks.

The most brilliant legal talent
IN the nation will be assembled in
Washington this month to plead
for abolition of capital punishment
in the District of Columbia.
Hearings will be opened Janu-

Committee on two bills to abolish
the death penalty here.

day as one of the worlds fore
most leaders in the fight to abolish
capital punishment.
Representative Clarence j. Nc
Leod of Michigan, chairman of the
Judiciary Subcommittee, announced
today that Lewis 3. Lawes, warden
of Sing Sing prison, and chairman
OF the league to abolish capital
punishment will testify before the
committee.
Dudley Field Malone, famous at
torney who assisted barrow in the
evolution fight in Tennessee last
summer, also is expected to press

TO appear before the committee.
Called Legal Murder"
The two bills now pending were
introduced by Representatives Nc
Leod and o. J. kyale, of Minnesota.
Both measures will be considered
at the same time.
II am convinced that powerful
sentiment is being developed in
Congress to wipe out legal murder
in the National Capital" Represen-
tative Mcleod said today. This
measure will be the first of more
than twenty now pending before
the judiciary subcommittee which
will be taken up for consideration
at this Congress.
1 Congress during the last session
authorized a change from hanging
to electrocution in the District. The
sailows has been destroyed. but the
new death chamber and electric
chair have not been installed. ]
hope this bill may be. passed be-
fore the chair is purchased.
Hopes for Quick Action
81 am hopeful that the commit
tee and Congress will act on this
measure without delay, so mat
there never will be another execu-
ton in the District.
"It is the opinion of all the
criminal experts that abolition OF
capital punishment will result IN
far better law enforcement. Sw1fter
and more certain justice will be in
flicted.
The difficulty of impaneling
1uries to try murder cases will be
tremendously lightened. A majority
OF Jurors who have scruples against
aeneoncing a man TO death would
not hesitate to send him to prison. .

The Reason Behind
the Purchase Of This
Ideal Property

The tremendous demand for water front properties
which the increased use Of automobiles has brought
about has had q severe tendency to put the price
of choice shore properties beyond the reach of the
age person. Therefore our dominant idea was to find
spot which only possessed all the natural advantage
water front property should possess but to place before
the public vacation spot within the of those of
moderate circumstances We have done just this thing
and those who see property will readily admit that its
value is unapproached.

HALLOWEEN AT CENTURY CLUB
An Evening of Frolic Given Friday
Night Which Was Largely Attend
ed-Grand March of Mummers


The Twentieth Century Club held
its Halloween Party, Friday evening,
October 29th. Upon entering the
Club House, one realized that an ar
tist and her halpers had been at work.
They had transformed the place into
typically charming scene of beauty.
It's bowers of tinted oak branches;
its shocks of fodder scattered here
and there; and its winking, blinking
grinning pumpkin faces peering from
dark corners made a wonderful set
ting for the mystic spirits which are
supposed to be abroad on Halloween
The stage presented an autumn farm
scene. The surprised farmer could
be seen standing by the light of the
moon, near a fodder shock. He was
gazing at his crop of pumpkins which
had turned mysteriously into glaring
faces. The real fun began when the
queer visitors arrived. Cinnamon,
fair ladies, cowboys, brides, Colonial
maids, fine gentlemen, fapper girls,
wooden soldier, all fell in line at the
sound of the Grand March. Mr.. Harry
