All the motor equipment OF the
local National Guard has been loaned
to the local post office. at the request
of City Postmaster Mooney. for the
purpose of moving. And it Is expect
ed that it will be used again this
Christmas to assist in moving the
Yuletide mail about the city.
In the letter granting the request.
NAL. Gen. Stephan broached the sub
iect of using some of the space in
city post office, at North Capltol
street and. Massachusetts avenue, Tor
setting up a rifle range for the local
Guard. Since the Guard moved into
it's new armory, there is no place
available for setting up an indoor
range where the men may practice
with the rifles.
Cen. stephan wrote that If the local
post Office already had range he
would like to get permission for the
members of the Guard to use 1t, par
ticularly on the Tuesday drill nights,
but if there was not any range there
now, he offers to provide the back
stops and other material for con
structing such an indoor range and
to furnish the expert personnel nee
essary to place it properly. Gen.
Stephan points out that such a range
also would be valuable for the loca
post office employees. who could there

and they could have the benefit OF the
experts of the ordnance department
of the local Guard.
The local Guard Is in as bad shape
in the matter of an indoor rifle range
for armory practice, as it is in the
matter of a drill hall, which 1t VIII

understanding and adjourned until 3

While there was no intima ton as
10 what took place at the conference
today. those who have been following
the situation believe the House plan
is most likely to prevail.
The House bill raises the maximum
annuity from s72o year TO $1,000. U.S.
ing $500 as the maximum salary in
computing the annuity. 1t increases
the contribution Of the employe from
az per cent to az per cent of his
salary. and leaves the ages of re-
tirement. as they are in the existing
law with no provision for voluntary
retirement at earlier ages. This bill.
it has been estimated. would cost
the Government about $29. 900 a year
less than the existing law.
The Senate bill increases the maxi
mum annuity to $1,000 and the en-
ploye's contribution to per cent. but
would permit voluntary retirement at
earlier age limits than the ages for

MELLON DECLINES

Adverse to Being Drawn Into
Haugen Bill Dispute on
Equalization Fee.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The attempt to enlist Secretary
Mellon In the campaign for a farm
relief program based on the equaliza-
ton fee apparently has failed.
Appealed to by House supporters of
the rejected Haugen bill, the Treasury
head has found what he regards as
fallacies in the economic principle of
the equalization fee.
The Secretary does not relish being
brought into the controversy raging
about this question at the Capitol
and he still has under consideration
what he ought to do about the request
of House farm leaders to render an
opinion. He fears he will not be able
to outline any constructive program
at the present time.
Mr.. Mellon has discussed the equali
zation fee with Sir Josiah Stamp. the
English economist, who with Vice
President Dawes has Endorsed the
proposition. He indicated, however
he could not agree with Sir Josiah
and Gen. Dawes.
