Negro Messenger Will
 Seek Aid From Congress

Washington, May tCP)-Ed ward Augustine Savoy celebrated his 75th birthday today with scarcely any pleasure at all.
 Unless congress enacts relief for Eddie, he must abandon his life work next August 20 and depart from the state department in which he has served since Grants first administra- tion in 1871.
 Eddie is the negro messenger who sits outside the office Of the secre tary of state. Everyone who is any one, automatically speaking, knows Eddie.
 Long ago Eddie passed the retire ment age, but successive secretaries of state annually have exercised ad- ministration prerogatives to retain him.
 But through some quirk in the law, Eddie believes, mere adminis- trative reprieve is not sufficient next etime and Eddies friends are prepar- ing to urge his plight on congress.

Four Debates Loom

Washington, May P-Votes on four of the most controversial items Of the Smoot -HaHley tariff bill con- fronted the house today, including the measures major dispute, the duty on sugar.
 Republican leaders expected to complete discussion and roll calls on all four before adjournment to- night and then to take up the con troversies of the administration sec tions tomorrow.
 In addition to the sugar schedule. the duties on silver, lumber and shingles were brought up for settle ment. Under the program arranged, the sugar vote came after the dis position of the three other sched- ules.
 Leading the republicans, Chair man Hauley of the ways and means committee, sought approval of rate Of 2.20 cents pound on Cuban su- gar, while the democrats urged con- currence in the ssnate rate of cents. Originally, the house voted for a duty of 2.4o cents. The present rate is 1.7S cents.
 Hawley also asked rejection of the senate rate of 30 cents an ounce on silver. which vas left on the free list originally by the house. Lumber Rate Proposed
 In addition, he sought concur renee in the senate rate of s1.50 a thousand board feet on soft lumber and insisted that the house not re- cede from it's original decision to shingles.
 Both commodities are now on the free list. Lumber vas left in that category by the house when the bill was first before 1t and the senate voted against placing any duty on shingles.
 With the administrative provisions will come disputes over the export depenture plan. the modified flexible provisions and the proposed reorgan- ization of the tariff commission which were incorporated in the bill | by the senate.
 | The administration is confident that the house will reject the export l ldebenture plan as it did when that proposal came before it in connec- i tion with the farm relief bill. It was written into the tariff measure by | the senate's democratic independent republican coalition against the viz orous objection of President Hoover.
 Late yesterday, the house adopted the partial conference report on the tariff bill, accepted the senate rate of six cents a hundred pounds on cement and rejected a senate amend ment to permit free entry for cement imported for public construction.
 The vote on the conference report was 241 to 152 and on the cement amendment 221 to 107. The cement duty was approved without record vote.

LAUDS POLICEMEN
! AND F|REF|GHTERS
President Darr of Capital
C. of C. Cites Lowered
Insurance Rate.

Washington's policemen and firemen
were praised for their efficiency last
night by Charles W. Darr, president of
the Chamber of Commerce, in an adj
dress over Radio Station WMAL. He
praised Congress for granting them SAL
airy increases.
1T is impossible for us to estimate the
value to us of the duties and activities
performed by these public servants"
Mr.. Darr declared. They protect us
when we are awake or sleeping" he
added. They save us from nameless
fears and apprehension. And let me
state, they have been doing this with
high efficiency despite a salary scale
way below that paid to the public serv-
ants engaged in similar work in other
American cities.
1T is not difficult to show this eff
cheney. About three years ago the cham
Der had occasion to investigate local fire
insurance rates. This study showed
that Washington's fire loss record is
very low. Results: The fire under
writer's, in response to the chambers
plea, lowered the rates charged for fire
insurance service in the District: the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States for two successive years has
awarded Washington honorable mention
in its Nationwide municipal flre-waste
contest.
This evidence, 1t seems to me, Is
more than sufficient to prove the eff
cheney of the District Fire Department
under the MANAGEMENT of Fire Chief
George S. Watson"
Adverting to the Police Department,
Mr.. Darr said:
II do not hesitate to say that the Po-
lice Department. under the management
Of Mai. Henry G. Pratt. is one of the
best run police departments in the
United States today. In making this
claim I do not feel that I exaggerate
in the slightest. Consider the various
'rackets which are now rampant in
other cities. 1 have failed to find any
evidence of organized crime of this va
riety in the District. 1 don't mean to
say by this that we do not have boot
leggers I don't know any other city
that doesn't have its quota, but at least
we are spared the organized gang war
which appears to accompany it in other
cities"
