DAVIS AND REED
CLASH OVER
j, 8. JOBS
PennsyIvanians Near Open
Break on Veterans Draw
ing Compensation, Salaries

A wide open breach between
Senator David A. Reed and
Senator James J. Davis, both
Pennsylvania Republicans, was
indicated today when Senator
Davis divulged the motive behind
QUESTIONABLE which he recently
sent heads of Government de-
partments asking for rosters OF
persons who have been retired
with pensions from various Gov
ernment offices and who are now
employed in other Federal jobs.
Aid to His Fight
Senator Davis said today that
he wants the information in order
to defend disabled emergency
officers, who were bitterly
attacked Senator Reed in the
last session Of Congress in con-
nection with the "Scandalous'''
condition. under which some Of
them drew large salaries from
the Veterans Administration and
at the same time received big
retirement pay.
Reed was bitter in his caStiga-
tiOn Of the former officers and
now the indication that Davis
is going to their defense is taken
as pointing to the troubled state
of Republican politics within
Pennsylvania.
Reed and Davis have never
been particularly close, but it was
never expected that they would
break wide open upon such a
matter.
States His Case
Senator Davis in explaining his
questionable said:
"At the last session of Con-
greSS an uprOar was raised
against disabled veterans Of
the World War who are EN-
plOyed by the Government and
whose pay is augmented by
their compensation awards for
disabilities received in the mill
tary or naval service of the
United States during the World
War.
This agitation against the
employment of disabled war
veterans may be revived at the
next session of Congress, and
if SO, / want to be fully fOrti-
fled with knowledge relevant to
the matter.
Personally, I believe a man
who bears wounds and scars
suffered in the service Of his
nation, in battles on land or
sea, has the same right to hold
Federal job as the man who
earned his Federal pension for
peace time service to the ma
tiOn."
