In college times and in legal life in
Maryland say that the Senator once
possessed the sonorousness Of an Inger-
soil.
William Cabell Bruce is going to be
most remembered in the Senate for his
bulldog courage and candor. He is at
uncompromising war with tediousness

with a fiamboyant colleague, the Mary

Bruce is enlisted under the same ban
ner. He is never dull, even when he is
talking at length against his favorite
complex, the eighteenth amendment
and the Volstead act. Though Protes-
tant, Bruce has fearlessly and syste-
matically rushed to the defense of Ro-
man Catholicism when the professional
opponents Of that creed try to turn the
Senate into a forum for religious con-
troversy.
Both Reed and Bruce are returning
to the practice of law---tke former in
his home town of Kansas City and the
latter in Baltimore. They will command

to earn contingent fee of fat dimen-
sions in a case involving $4,000 900.

BROOKHART BILL
SENT TO SENATE
Measure to Create Complaint
Board Is Reported
FavOrab|y.

The Brookhart bill for the creation
Of a civil service board of appeals to
hear complaints of Government en-
ployes abolition Of the Personnel
Classification Board and the establish
ment of a new uniform system of eff
cheney ratings for Federal workers was
reported favorably to the Senate yes
terday afternoon by the civil service
committee.
The bill may not get through in the
closing rush of this session, in which
event Senator Brookhart will renew his
advocacy of it in the next Congress.
I'm its investigation, the committee
reported, "the committee have found
that the administration of the classifi-
cation act by the Personnel Classifica-
ton Board as now constituted is very
unsatisfactory and prejudicial to the
interests of the service, numerous COM
plants having been made not only by
employees, but by heads of departments,
and that there are many Government
employees who have been reduced, trans
ferred or discharged without any ade-
Quate hearing or reason for such action,
and many of them are intimidated into
submission by fear of other diScrimi-
nations This board will have the power
to prevent all such acts of injustice,
and the committee believes it will also
add to the efficiency Of the service"

WOMAN IS VICTIM
IN TORCH MURDER
Blue Motor Car Is Clue to
Tragedy on Lonely Road
in New Jersey.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated EreSS.
CRAWFORD, N. j., February 23--
The discovery Of an unidentified wom-
an, who first had been shot and beaten
to death and then saturated with gaso-
line and set af1re in the snow by lone
ly road, today started New Jersey police
on their second hunt in year for a
torch murderer"
Their only clues were dental bridge
work in the dead woman's upper jaw,
some jewelry, clothing and a fleeting
glimpse of a blue automobile which the
driver Of bakery truck obtained as he
sped by.
The blue automobile was the sole
clue police had early in their investiga-
ton of the similarly strange death of
Miss Margaret Brown, a New York
governess. She was found not far from
here just year and three days ago in
an isolated strip of wood in the adjoin-
ing county of Somerset. Authorities
from that county came to Union County
when they learned Of today's Staying,
but after brief inquiry announced they
could find nothing to connect it with
their unSolved mystery.
The unidentified woman was dead
when her blazing body was discovered
by John Boyle, a driver for the Ward
Baking Co. Just as dawn was breaking
less than a half hour before, Henry
Denner, driver for the Hill Bread Co.
sped by in his truck. He told officials
that he saw blue coupe parked on
Springfield avenue, a short distance
from the scene, and figure nearby
waving frantically to him to stop, but
he feared highwaymen and continued
Police Chief James Hennessy 81
Crawford expressed the belief that the
woman was slain elsewhere and heI
body thrown from an automobile and
set afire in Springfield avenue.
The woman was about As years old

PAY RELIEF BILL
EXPECTED TOPASS
President Stewart of Federal
Employees Federation
Disputes Wood.

Luther C. Stewart, president of the
National Federation of Federal Employees,
differed decidedly from the view ex-
pressed in the House yesterday by
Acting Chairman Wood of the appro-
priations committee, who said that 1t
is generally understood that the Lehl-
mach Brookhart-C eller pay relief bill
will not be passed at the present session.
Seen at the Capitol last night, Mr..
Stewart said that this pay relief bill is
going to pass. I'VE are thoroughly con-
vinced that the Lehlbach- Brookhart-
Celler bill will be passed by the House
during the coming week. Moreover, we
are confident that when the bill does
pass, the salary reduction feature will
be missing"
Mr.. Stewart also said that If the
salary relief bill does pass the provision
in the second deficiency bill directing
the Personnel Classification Board to
reallocate positions so as to effect saw
ing of 100000 In higher salaries in the
District of Columbia will 60 out Of the
bill and will remain out.
After that provision had been adopted
in the House, Mr.. Stewart said that it
would have the effect of reducing
salaries in some cases in amounts from
$500 to $4,000 per person.

speech dashed at those who thus ruth
lessly cut salaries of experts and highly
trained specialists and professional men
and technicians receiving more than
$1,000, warning Congress that If such
a policy is followed it will mean that
the Government will lose the services
of its most valuable employees. He
pointed out that what the House was
seeking to accomplish is provided for
in the Lehlbach bill, which authorizes
the Personnel Classification Board to
make reallocations.
The rising vote on acceptance of the
salary reduction provision was an
nounced SO to so and a vote by tellers
was demanded Representative Dempsey
was then in the chair and announced
that the provision had been approved
by vote of 81 to SO. Mr.. Bachman
stated that his count had been 1888.
Mr.. Dempsey promptly answered. "You
would have lost anyway" meaning that
he would have cast deciding vote In
favor of the provision.
