BROOkHART

D. K.

Enactment of the Lehlbach-
Brookhart salary bill was
urged upon Congress today by
the Personnel Classification
Board in a sharply worded
memorandum outlining the in
justices and inconsistencies
which have sprung up in the
Federal classified services as
a result of Comptroller General
McCarl's interpretations of the
.Welch salary act.
The Board reviewed at length the
SHARP differences of opinion" which
have arisen between McCarl and
itself in regard to the administra-
tion of the Welch salary act, de.
claring that under McCarfs rulings
Inconsistencies and inequalities OF
treatment are numerous and diff

tended. The Lehlbacn'Brookhartb Dill
would give the board this authority
The, entire memorandum which
was filed with members of the two
Civil Service committees dealt with
the situation in .the higher grades
of the professional and clerical ser
vices which has resulted from NC
rarrs decisions. These decisions, it
said, have: ia.
"Resulted in reintroducing with
fespect to these higher grades the

Inconsistencies which the classirlca
tion act was designed to overcome
Resulted in disproportionate IN

One of the results. of McCarI5
interpretations the board said is
: that employees, doing the same work
are now in many instances in two
different grades. This results in
violation of the fundamental prin-
ciple' of the classification law that
there shall be equal pay for equal
work the board reported.
The memorandum is being care
fully studied by the members of
the committees. 1t is finding more
favorable reaction among members
of the House committee than from
the Senate committee, where Sena-
: tor eBrookhart and others are op-
posed to the boards policies.

AUTOPSY REVEALS YOUNG GIR! DIED
 \ NATURAL DEATH
BODIES OF DOGS EMBALMED IN SPICES FOUND IN SEPARATE
 CASKET, GIRLS GRAVE

LOS ANGELES, Oct, ', (F1-No evidence other than that of natural death was found in the autopsy performed on the body of Villa Rhoades, 19-year-old foster daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. w. F. Rhoades. which was dug from a shallow grave beneath the beach near the home of the latter.
 The body of Villa, who was des- ignated by Mrs. Rhoades as "Prin- cess of the Divine Order of the Roy a! Arms of the Great Seal" had been expected by her to be resur- ected in accordance to the doctrines of the strange religious cult, was submitted to the county chemist for tests to be made to determine the suspected presence of poison.
 Rhoades, who is being held pend ing further investigation, told the police that Villa died January, 1, 1925 of diptheria.
 The finding Of the body is the be- ginning of the unravelling of the weird rites of the religious cult which caused the body to be pre- served in ice for more than year with the belief that she would be resurrected.
 Tn a separate casket in the girls grave were found the bodies of seven dogs embalmed in spices and buried at the same time

LIQUOR BUYERS
 MAY BE LIABLE
 ID PROSECUTION
CONGRESS OVERLOOKED A BET ACCORDING TO ANTI DRY
 OFFICIAL

WASHINGTON, Oct, 8. (Pl- A move to make liquor purchas- CTS liable to prosecution as pro- hibition violators, IS described by the association against the pro- hibition amendment, as one which would nullify the 18th amendment
 This was the view set forth in a statement by Henry Curran, president of the association, com menting on the bill introduced by Senator Sheppard, democrat from Texas, who declared buy CTS of liquor were equally as guilty with the manufacturers or sellers.
 Congress left it out of the 18th amendment deliberately and Congress cannot put it into the Volstead act now without nulli- flying he amendment on which the Volstead act is based"
 Curran said Sheppard stated the proposal was left out because it was believed if it existed it could not have passed with such a clause.
 A recent Philadelphia court decision held that liquor buyer could not be punished; this makes introduction of a bill which will be acted upon in December, if advisable, Sheppard said.

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, october "a R.-Sharp
new breaks in wheat prices early today
resulted from unusual accumulation of
overnight orders to sell out and put
stop to holders losses. March delivery
OF wheat dropped to new low price
record for the season. Continued large
shipments Of wheat from Argentina
to Europe were forecast. Opening "a
to 15a lower, Chicago wheat afterWard
underwent material further setback.
Corn developed firmness, starting I'M
changed to "a higher, and subsequently,
scoring gains all around. Oats were
easy. Provisions kept steady.
Heavy selling pressure manifest much
of the time today in the wheat pit
here found the market devoid of any
aggressive support Under such cir
broke early more than cents a buShel
in some cases. Meanwhile, Liverpool
quotations on wheat were lower even
than had been looked for and cables
were at hand telling Of persistent large
offerings of Argentine wheat to Europe
at declining prices and in the face of
big stocks at Liverpool.
The fact that sterling exchange was
reported today as having reached the
highest point since June, 1928, failed
to make any noticeable impression on
wheat traders, although as a rule an
advance in sterling rates Is construed
as favoring wheat exports from this
country and Canada. AS a matter of
fact, no new export business whatever
from North America overnight was an
nounced, Notwithstanding assertions
that the United States could easily eX-
port million bushels a day, and still
have a good sized carry-over at the
end of the season.

TRADE AND MONEY.
OUTLOOK REVIEWED
Conditions in Some Lines Ex-
ceIIent-Credit Situation
Becomes Easier.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 24-While the
stock market was engaged in readjust-
ing its technical condition, the Wall
Street analysts today were paying close
attention to the days trade and money
developments. The weekly reviews Of
the iron trade journals again empha4..
sized the uncertain situation in the
motor car industry.
The Iron Age said that the 'produc-
ton Of new models was being delayed
until large stocks Of present models,
both in manufacturers and dealers
hands, are disposed Of. The sale Of
used cars is also problem, however,
although in some sections distributors
stocks have been reduced materially"
The Iron Trade Review spoke of cur
tailed steel requirements Of automobile
manufacturers and the consequent de-
preston of steel producers dependent
upon this industry" which, the jour
nal added, ARE obScuring market con-
ditions, which, for other volume con-
sumers, range from moderately good to
excellent"
The offset is the demand from the
railroads. According to the Iron Age,
the view IS gaining ground that pro-
duction has touched bottom. It de-
cares tnaC steel mill operators show
wide variations, depending on the ex-
tent to which different finished prod
uctS are used in the motor car indus
try, but steel ingot output has under
gone little further reduction" ..
The situation in the copper trade IS
also being scrutinized. If the price OF
the metal can be held around its pres
ent level large profits for the principal
producers are assured.
Bearing on the railroad outlook Is the
falling of In freight-car loadings. For
the week ended October IL these were
down 1,7S3 cars from the same week
year ago. This Is the second week in
which loadings have declined. While
the September earnings statement COM
ing to hand are mostly favorable there
was one conspicuous exception, Union
Pacific. This road showed a falling of
in both gross and net not only over Sep
TENDER, 1928, but over September, 1927.
Finally, the American Petroleum In
stitute's weekly report showed that no
progress is being made in reducing
crude oil output. On the week daily
average output is up $500 barrels.
Regarding credit the outlook Is for a
period Of relatively easy money. Whether
the New York Federal Reserve Bank
will reduce its rate remains to be seen.
