sick bay of the station today guard
ing against illness that might result
from his Involuntary icy bath in the
Potomac River yesterday afternoon,
when he and his landplane were forced
to put down in the water as the
fuel supply became exhausted.
Lieut.. Tomlinson was flying a Cur

bia Island and opposite the Lincoln
Memorial, at about 200 feet altitude,
when the engine ceased to function.
Grasping the situation quickly, the

sudden halt in its speed tossed the
airman free of the cockpit into the
cold Potomac. Loaded down with a
heavy flying suit and a weighty para
chute. the sailor-aviator struck out
for the shore line opposite the Me
mortal and found that the parachute
served. to a degree, as much as a life
belt in the water as in the air. By
the time he reached shore he was
picked up by a boat connected with
the Arlington Memorial Bridge and
carried back to the air station. The
plane did not sink and was towed back

Pleads for Welch Bill.

The House civil service committee
held hearing yesterday on the Welch
bill. which would establish a minimum
salary of $1,500 for full-time service
by adult civilian employees of the Gov
ernment. The committee ii is under
stood, will not report this or any

Government workers at the hearing.
The House members who spoke were
Representatives Rathbone and Irwin
Of Illinois, Welch of California and
Murphy of Ohio, all Republicans, and
Mcmillan of South Carolina, Demo
crat. They insisted that less than
$500 is not living wage for adults.
Mr.. Steward argued that even with
$1.500 set as a minimum the salary
is really only about 5000 as measured
by pre-war value of the dollar. He
pointed to the heavy turnover in the
Federal service, saying that for some
years it has amounted to about 20

DRY LAW METHODS
UPHELD IN REPORT
"Under Cover" Strategy in
Obtaining Evidence Explain
ed by Treasury.

In the enforcement of prohibition
under cover" methods are employed
only to obtain evidence against major
violators. and would not be cOunte-
nanced to enrrap citizens, the Treasury
Department advised the Senate in u
report yesterday, submitted in re-
sponse to the resolution of Senator
Reed, Democrat, Of Missouri.
1T is CleaG from the department S
records" said the report, that these
activities are not looked upon with
favor in any circumstances and are
forbidden il they involve any illegal
ity, and particularly if they are used
for any other purpose than to gain
information leading to evidence
against major law violators engaged
in the commercialized liquor traffic"
Canadian Border Case Cited.
One of the cases cited dealt with
operations along the Canadian border,
when two prohibition agents were
furnished an automobile and money
for rum-running from Canada to AL
bany. with the consent of Judge
Cooper of the United States Court
for the northern district of New York.
AS a result, the report said, evil
dence was obtained against 40 alleged
bootleggers around Troy and Albany.
Judge Cooper initiated the activities,
it was asserted, by calling in r. Q.
Merrick. the State prohibition drec-
tor, and urging him to catch the
higher ups" in the rum traits, as he
was tired of imposing sentences on
individual rum-runners.
Bridge Whist Club" Explained.
Another case had to do with the
Bridge Whist Club" in New York,
which was started by prohibition
agents to get evidence on overseas
liquor smugglers. which the depart
ment said was the main source of
American bootleg supply.
Under cover men also were sent to
Norfolk at the request of prominent
citizens, the report added, TO CO.

cleaning up the city, and Lone Jack"

1t was added that the people of
Montgomery County want to be taxed
to take advantage of the opportunity
now for improving their community,
and it was for this reason that the
proposed law is to provide definitely
for taxing them. Likewise, the un.
certainty in some parts of Prince
Georges County caused those fostering
the legislation to leave the matter of
taxation for actual purchase of park
lands to a determination of the people
there and merely provide in the law
that the proposed park and planning
commission could tax them only If

CONSIDERS BILLS
TO HELP WORKERS
House Civil Service Commit
Tee Holds Hearings on Two
Measures.

Hearings were held on two bills to
improve the condition of civil service
employees in Washington before the
House civil service committee today.
The Oldfield bill relating to labor of
certain watchmen and building guards
was introduced, covering the District
of Columbia. so as to provide that
employees in the custodial service
would have one day off in seven in
lieu of Sunday.
Representative Oldfield. chairman
of the Democratic congressional
committee, appeared in behalf of
this legislation, as did also a repre-
sentative of the Library of Congress.
l.. c. Stewart president of the Ma
tional Federation of Federal En-
ployes, indorsed the bill, but asked
that the bill be made general to
cover all employees of the Government
now forced to work seven days a
week.
Takes Up Smith Bill.
The committee then took up the bill
fathered by Representative Addison T.
Smith of Idaho, a member of the civil
service committee, which provides for
annual leave for all Government work
ers of 30 days as a matter of law and
up to 60 days. Through this legisla-
tion it is sought to standardize the
sick leave provision throughout all
branches of the Government service.
The chief clerks or appointment of.
ficers of the various Government
establishments. a representative Of the
general accounting Office, the Shipping
Board and the Civil Service Commits
sion appeared in behalf of this meas
ure, introducing statements showing
the number of employees affected and
the average number of days which
they have been forced to take on ac-
count of illness.
Steward FavOrs Measure.
Mr.. Steward also spoke in favor of
this measure, as did also Thomas E.
Ryan, representing Federal employees
from Chicago; Miss l.. Trouland, repre-
senting the women Of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, who stated
that they have now no sick leave and
are compelled TO use their annual
leave when sick; John r. Newman,

Identifies Numerous Letters.

Mrs. Browning, who was held over
from yesterday, took the stand today
on the continuation of cross-examina-
ton by John E. Mack, attorney for
the real estate man, and spent most
of the hour of her appearance identi'
flying numerous letters addressed by
her to the realtor.
Mr.. Browning, during the marking
of the letters for identification,
tugged at his collar and seemed more
nervous than his wife in the witness
chair. The letters. together with file
after file of tabloid duplicates, came
out of his huge black suit case at his
elbow, wherein he has preserved the
written words recounting his and his
wife's venture into marriage.
At one point this morning, 1t seemed
, likely a legal point would long delay
the case. 1t concerned a diary writ
