Senator Jones said he would continue
to oppose the proposal.
"It seems to me-" he said, chat now
that the commission has begun y gen.
eral investigation of crime We should
let 1t continue, even though Il does
cost something. If they can recon-
mend means of simplifying procedure
for better enforcement of laws gener-
ally, they should be allowed to do It,"
Jones said he believed the appropTia-
ton would not be subjected to a point
of order in the Senate. Objeetors

declaring that body could not legislate
in an appropriation measure.
Senator Glass said he would insist

RICHMOND. Va, June 21.-Rear
Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd, Of ell
persons, is behind on his knowledge OF
aviation. Asked at Richmond today II
he thought regular transatlantic trane
a near future reality, he smiled and
said: "Id be afraid to express an opin-
ion on that. You know I've been away
so long I've got to catch up on my
knowledge of flying"
Harry Byrd, former Governor Of Vtr-
ginia. has enjoyed his famous brothers
homecoming immensely. He was at
New York and washington to welcome
Dick" II haven't had anything TO do,
no speeches to make and no high hats
to wear" he explained.
When Harry Byrd, who has been in
the public eye himself quite bit, intro
duced newspaper men TO the rear ad-
miral here today, he assured the ex-
plorer they were "a good lot" Yes, !"
said Dick, "and they'll be thinking that
both YOU and ! have kissed the blarney
stone"
Although young Harry Byrds father
has been q governor, he expressed o de-
cided preference for aviation, following
in the footsteps of "Uncle Dick" He
finishes at military academy next
year and intends then to enter Virginia
Military Institute, the rear admirals
alma mater, before taking up flying.
Tom Byrd, Of the trio of tom, Dick
and Harry" who claims the distinction
of being the "plainest member" of the
Byrd family, enjoyed todays celebra-
ton hugely. But when asked q ques-
ton about it, he laughed heartily. II
don't know blamed thing about this
show" he declared.
Mrs. Richard Evelyn Byrd, ST.. found
the trip from Washington to Richmond
with her three famous sons very pleas
ant. but not an uninterrupted opportu-
nifty TO talk with them. Fredericksburg

Agree as House Members
End Dispute.

The deadlock which has held up the
bill increasing the pay of policemen
and aremen finally was broken late yes
terday when House leaders, summoned
to a parley with Speaker Nicholas
Longworth, agreed to send the bill to
conference.
The parley was held IN Longworth's
of1ce. Representative Robert G. Sim
mons, who has held up passage Of the
bill by his insistence on the simmons
Donovan amendments, was present
when the agreement. was reached. 1t
Is expected that the Senate and House
confereeS viii meet on the bill Monday
and that it win get to the respective
houses for action Monday. afternoon.
Speaker Iongwortf1 nan1ed as House
conferees on the bill Acting Chairman
Clarence Mcleod Of the House District
committee, Representative Beers of
Pennsylvania and Whitehead of Vir-
ginia.
SergtS. Frank A. Varney and Milton
D. Smith, representing the policemen.

at the conference. They said they
were ready to accept the bin as it now
stands. 1t Is understood that the SEN
ate confereeS also are ready to accept
the bill with the Simmons amend
ments as modified to date.
In its present shape the bill makes
the pay for private in both departments
81 900 at entrance, with an annual IN
crease of 500 until $2,400 is reached
The deduction from salary to take care
Of pensions is increased from az to 3h
per cent. with the added privilege Of
getting the contributions back in case
policemen or firemen resign before re-
tirement
There is one modification In the orig
inal Simmons amendments relating to
pensions. The original amendment pre-
vented any increase In pensions as a re-
suit Of increases In base pay for such
men as were already pensioned on pas
sage OF the bill. This was O main bone
OF contention, and the policemen and
nremens representatives yielded to all
the other amendments in exchange for
revamping to allow the Commissioners
IN increase the stipends of pensioners IN
meritorious cases.
The salaries for the heads and as
sistant heads Of the department are
scaled down by another Simmons
amendment Still another provides for
the manner Is which men now on the
force shall reach the maximum 50, 400

QUESTIONS OVER DEEP
UNANSWERED BY BYRD
Explorer Reveals Discovery of
Ocean Fissure of 81, 900 Feet
Below Surface.
By the Associated preas


Questions of scientists on the details
OF a vast deep in the Pacific discov-
cred by photographers with Rear Ad-
miral Richard E. Byrd were left un-
answered yesterday by the departure of
the explorer for Richmond.
Accepting the special gold medal of
the National Geographic Society from
President Hoover, he announced a rs
sure of $4,000 feet had been found be-
low the waves between Little America
and New Zealand
He did not identify the site closely
and scientists were unable to learn
its extent.
The deep was discovered by means
OF an echo-sounding device, known as
the super-sonic depth finder, by means
of which the distance Of the ocean
floor from the surface is calculated by
the time 1t takes a sound to travel from
the ship to the bottom and back again.
The greatest ocean depth known is
the Mindinao Deep, between the Phil
ippines and Japan, which Is 35,410 feet
below the surface. The most recently
discovered fissure was Fleming Deep,
sounded by scientists last year. It was
1000 feet below the surface and ranks
as the sixth greatest submarine depth
known.
