WOOD To FIGHT
j. s. EMPLOYEES
5-DAY WEEK
Hoover Economy Statement
Moves House Chairman
to Oppose Shorter Hours

The death knell of hopes Of
Federal employees for five-day
week legislation at the coming
session of Congress was sounded
today by Representative Will R.
Wood. (R0 of Indiana, chairman
of the House Appropriation Com
mittee.
After studying the statement
made by President Hoover Satur-
day, Representative Wood said
that the utmost economy must be
observed in all appropriations and
that he would vigorously oppose
any legislation which might add
to the burden of Governmental ex
pense.
Cost Boost Seen
Among the items which he de
clared he would fight is the pro
posal for cutting the Government
work week from five and a half to
five days.
Mr.. Wood pointed out that
when the week was cut to five
and a half days, the Budget
Bureau estimated that it would
cost probably $13,000,000. Never
theless the shorter week was es-
tablished and some representa-
tives of employees Immediately
launched campaign for the five
day week.
Would Relieve Burden
Mr.. Wood said today that he
had 40 way of telling how much
additional the five day week pro
posal would cost, but he said that
undoubtedly it would run into
many millions of dollars.
With the government facing a
heavy deficit in the Treasury,
the appropriations chairman that
this is no time to add to the
burden by shortening the week.

DispIaces Shoulder Trying
for Fly, Caught in the Wind

A 46-mile-an-hour gale which
Swooped down on the National
Capital yesterday afternoon left
a number of freak accidents in
it's wake.
The high wind lasted about Is
minutes and was followed by a
heavy dOwnpOur which wrought
havoc with many spring outfits.
Fails to Halt Planes
The storm, however, failed to
disrupt regular air service to the
city, and failed to discourage
hundreds of sightseers whose
hearts were set on viewing the
National Capital from the air.
One pilot at the Washington
Hoover airport had a narrow
escape from serious injury when
the wind whirled the plane he
was taxing to hangar on it's
left wing and then flipped it
over on it's back.
Spectators at the field also
received a thrill when a large
tri-mOtOred plane was lifted from
the ground and then dropped
gently for q perfect landing.

was torn from it's moorings by
the wind. The lower part of the
equipment collapsed, but fire
men lashed the upper part to
the structure, which is under
going repairs.
Police roped off the block while
the firemen were at work.
Dusty Cooke, right fielder for
the New York Yankees, was an
other victim Of the freak storm.
He displaced his right shoulder
while trying to capture a pop
