retired list or hereafter retired to be
based upon the schedules recommended
for the active list. These recommended
lions in the Interdepartmental Pay
Board are in response to repeated de-
mands in Congress that the various de-
partments affected get together and
whip into shape a pay schedule which
Congress could use as the basis Tor
The report was made to the various
Secretaries Of the departments inter-
ested.
The board was convened early in
April, 1929, by agreement among the
several departments to investigate the
effect Of existing pay laws and notably
the Joint service pay act Of 1922, which,
however. was not general pay legisla-
ton, upon the six services covered by
the latter. Three officers Of the Army,
two each Of the Navy. Public Health
Service and Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey and one each from the Marine
Corps and the Coast Guard made up
the board.
Extensive investigations and discus
sions have been conducted by the board
for more than two months and the re-
port submitted represents compro-
mise.
The report contains an exhaustive
survey of the history of previous pay
legislation, governing principles upon
which pay legislation should be based,
the summary Of the act of 1922 and the
effects Of the act Of 1922 on the service.
The report said that the pay sched-
ule Of 1908 has been taken as q basis
because Of the fact that 1t was enacted
after careful consideration by Congress
of the then existing and prospective
economic conditions, and in its results
appeared to be adequate and satisfac-
tory to the services until the disturbed
economic conditions brought about by
the World War"
The board pointed out that the dol
lar Of 1908 "has shrunk to 10 cents
today"
The members of the board follow:
Admiral McNamee, chairman; Brig.
Gen. George Richards, Marine Corps;
Brig. Gen. G. S. Simonds and Col F. w.
Coleman, Army; Asst. Surg. Gen. c. c.

and was thrown from her chair by tho
force of the impact and left six feet
away.
Firemen had considerable diniculty at
first in fighting the blaze, which ran
along with the floor. Chemicals were
applied with the arrival of other en-

troll.
Deputy Chief p. w. Nicholson said he
could give no cause for the fire other
than someone must have left a burner
lighted under one of the tanks.
Firemen also were hindered on the
upper floors by the smoke.

BYRD PARTY FEELS.
7O-BEL0W WEATHER
Antarctic Explorers SILVER as
Eastern u. S. Br0iIS Under
100-Above in Sun.
BY RUSSELL OWEN.

BY Radio to The Star and New York Times.
LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica, July
29.-While New York is setting a heat
record we are undergoing our coolest
weather so far this Winter. On Sun
day the temperature got down to 72.4
and was below 10 most of the day.
What that means may be better realized
If it Is stated in this way: There was a
difference Of 1856 degrees in tempera-
ture between Little America and New
York and q difference Of more than 100
degrees between the temperature of our
house and outdoors.
Seventy-two plus below zero is cold,
but as 1t was perfectly calm it was
astonishing how little discomfort one
experienced outdoors. It was deSper-
ately cold the day before, with q tenn
perature Of Sc below and q 20-mile
wind blowing, and very unpleasant to-
day at As. with 20-mile wind, but we
still go outdoors and Comdr. Byrd takes
his usual walks. When the temperature
was Sc, with high wind. however, his
eyelids froze together. SO that he had to
pry them open. 1t appears now as
though the average temperature for this
month will be colder than when Amund-
sen was here. despite the fact that we
had one aStonishingly warm day, when
the thermometers registered for a short
time 2 degrees above zero. AmundSen's
lowest temperature for the year was "a
below and 1t seems possible that we
may find 1t somewhat colder than that
before the Winter Is gone.
Comdr. Byrd has just received o mes
sage from King George Of England in
answer to one from Little America on
the occasion Of the services of thanks
giving among English people recently
for the recovery Of the King. English
men have done so much excellent work
in the Antarctic, so much pioneer work,
and our relations with New Zealand have
been SO close during the expedition that
1t is natural that Comdr. Byrd and other
members of the expedition should be
among those feeling thankfulness for
the Kings recovery.
The commanders message follows:
Little America joins with the Brit
ism Commonwealth of nations and all
the world in thanksgiving for the recov-
cry Of your majesty"
The reply, which was received today.
says:
II am commanded by his ma jesty the
King to thank you for your kind mes
sage on behalf Of the members Of your
expedition. (Signed) Governor General
New Zealand"

CONDITION
SLOWS UP TRIAL
Murder Defendant Suffers
as Result of Sanity
Spinal Test.

By the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. July 30.-The
physical condition Of DR.. James H.
Shook again today slowed up the al
ready tagging process of selecting q
jury in his trial for the murder Of
T'heora Hix, the 24-year-old coed he
has confessed he killed.
DR.. Shook was suffering more severely
today than yesterday as the result Of q
spinal test made Saturday to assist in
the determination Of his sanity.
Attorney Says Not FeIgning.
Once he interrupted the examination
of prospective jurors while he was
taken TO an anteroom for medicine to
relieve q severe pain in his back, and
the court extended the regular mid
morning recess to 20 minutes in order
to let him 60 to the sheriff's office,
where he rallied from the strain OF the
courtroom.
John F. Seidel, one of the former
Ohio State professors attorneys, said
that the natural reaction from the
spinal examination such as DR.. Shook
underwent may be expected to continue
about a week, adding that there Is no
bluff about it."
Don't believe that DR.. Shook Is
feigning this Illness" Seidel said. Tor
it is the real thing. He is feeling very
badly today"
One Woman Left on Jury.
One lone woman today held her place
on the tentative Jury as the process OF
shaping a jury acceptable TO state anu
defense went into its NTH day.
She was Miss Edith Dysinger. re-
tired nurse. Four others have been ex-
cused on peremptory challenges.
Seidel has indicated by his questions
that he wants q jury that will have no
hesitancy in discussing fully the details
of the three-year love affair between the
Chic State professor and the girl ne
admitted beating to death.
Although Miss Dysinger had weatn-
cred the defense campaign against
woman Jurors I'D to the start OF the
fifth day, there was no assurance that
she would not finally be removed by
one of the remaining six defense per-
emptory challenges in the drive Tor
Jury composed only Of men.
Many Challenges Used.
The State has used two OF its four
peremptory challenges. In addition.
each Side will have two for use in
selecting the thirteenth or alternate
Juror, making a total outstanding OF
10. and on the basis Of the speed mace
thus far the final seating OF the Jury
appeared hopeless today.
The examination has gone into the
second venire Of SO. the original venire
Of IS being exhausted.

garded as more or less hopeless. The
Senate has written patchwork Of
amendments that will require the ut
most tolerance on the part of the
House conferees to swallow. There is
a bit of resentment in the house, some
of it probably justified, and the COM
plant is directed against the Senate's
high-handed procedure in turning
down the Presidents recommends
tons. The game today is to find a
tactical position which will permit the
various groups to place the blame for
failure of the legislation. Exper ience
has shown that measures, even tariff
bills, can pass suddenly when the war
ring factions feel that the public is
losing interest.
