NEW YORK, January 26.-Knickers,
if the Fifth avenue styliSts know their
pants trends, are slipping out Of the
golfers wardrobe.
Long trousers are due to come back
to the country's links. That Is to say,
on the legs of the man who likes to
be different.
Plus-fours, of course, still are the
best for the timid soul. The whole
idea (the stylist's idea) is that the
rnashie wielders don't really need Snick-
erS now.
The rough, for which they were de-
signed on most courses, no longer Is so
rough that trouser legs are likely to
emerge with safeguards OF thistle burrs
and dry twigs.
Already pluS-fourS are not SO Doggy
as they used to be, and last Fall no
lesser light on the links than Maurice
j. Mccarthy, jr., former intercollegiate
golf champion, braved the galleries III
long pants - and lost his match to
Jesse Sweetser.
Robert T, Jones, jr., won, wearing
white polo shirt, white flannel gnick-
erS, pleated, and without a belt; blue
hose and black and white moccasins:
But that's just a bit OF sartorlal
and haberdashers' hope for Spring. II

nations to make any promotions during
the coming fiscal year.
Chairman Smell of the Rules Com
mittee emphasized that the Wood
amendments prohibited the use of any
lapses and that the bill as it comes
back from the Senate carries definite
appropriations for salary increases in
addition to the amount available as
result of lapseS. a...
Representative Swing of California
stressed the fact that these increases
in appropriation are necessary to carry
out the mandate of substantive Law.
LehlbachS View Given.
Chairman, Lehlbach of the Civil
Service Committee vigorously declared
1T is absolutely unfair to call these
increases in salary. The proposition
Is to pay what we promised when we
passed the classification act in 1928 as
and Brookhart acts"
AT this point, proceedings were in
terrupted by a point Of no quorum
made by Representative Sproul, Re-
publican of Illinois.
Chairman Wood made an excited ap-
peal to his colleagues that when mil
lions are idle. it Is poor time to in
crease the salaries of those who are on
steady Government job here and al
ready well paid" He claimed that by
two pieces of legislation salaries Of
Government employees have been in
creased in the last two years and that
these salary increases were received by
some $4,000 employees.
Representative Buchanan, Democrat
OF Texas, a member of the House Ap-
preparations Committee, sought to make
the record clear that every depart
ment" Will have a chance to make the
ordinary promotions for efficiency
through the use of money from lapSeS
deaths and designations. Mr.. Wood said
that such funds would amount to So
100000 and that in the Treasury De-
partment alone there would be S81l 900
available for promotions.
Beedy Enters Debate.
Representative Beedy, Republican, of
Maine also sought to make clear that
funds would be available for making
ordinary promotions within grades.
In reply to questions, Mr.. Wood said
that the Senate amendments called for
$4,250,000 for salary increases beyond
$3,500,000 in lapses during the coming
fiscal year and that the program in
three years time would call for an
additional $18,000000.
Representative Stafford, Republican,
OF Wisconsin, called out that these
girls by the thousands are wearing fur
coats and driving their own automo-
bileS."
Millions without Jobs.
Representative O'Connor again in
sisted that there are millions who have
no jobs at all, while a Government
employe can resign his job If he has
chance to get better one.
Representative Connery Of MaSSachu-
sets stressed the fact that the increases
are to carry out the Hoover program to
take. care of underpaid Government
employees.

CATHOLIC PASTOR LAUDS CHEST
AS BENEFIT TO WHOLE CITY
Nor. Thomas Says Concert
ed Drive Cares for All
Adequately.
Inequalities of Old Order
Abolished With United e.
forts for Success.
BY RIGHT REV. MGR. c. F. THOMAS,
p. A.,

p. A.,
Pastor st. PAtrick's Church.
AS citizen of Washington inter-
ested in the welfare of our community,
I have been deeply gratified to observe
the successful operation Of the Com
munity Chest achieved during the first
two years of its existence. / am, of
course, primarily interested in the
Catholic institutions that are partici-
pating IN this great undertaking and
am most familiar with the advantages
which they and the Catholic public
have derived, but I think their expert
ence has been quite typical of all in
terested parties.
The nine Catholic organizations in
the Community Chest are among the
principal agencies of our creed that are
doing welfare work on city-wide basis.
They cover q great part of the field of
social work. To those of us who are
actively interested, it is a source OF real
relief to know that all these organiza-
lions are now adequately cared for in
one concerted financial drive.
Inequalities in Old Order.
al OIuSI OI WClC
almost necessarily certain inequalities.
In our own group some organizations
had been in the field for long time
and had acquired many friends. Others,
by the very character of the work they
we're doing, had a strong popular ap-
peal These naturally had not much
trouble In obtaining support. Others,
however, whose origin was more re-
cent, or whose work though very i'm
portant, had not the same public ap-
peal, had a real struggle to get along.
They were constantly hampered in
their work by a lack of funds and by
the distractions necessitated by their
constant struggle to obtain financial
support. Now, with a common drive
and with support determined not by
sentiment, but by the importance and
extent Of the work done, many of the
inequalities Of the old system have been
eliminated.
Opportunity to Unite.
1t is not often that the citizens of
Washington have an opportunity to unite
on some great project. The Chest has
supplied us with such an opportunity.
If the people of washington properly
estimate that opportunity and grasp 1t
in the right spirit, this undertaking can
be of immense and enduring value to
the whole community.
Upon the drive, that We are soon to
launch, our welfare agencies will de-
pend to carry on their important work
during the present dif1cult times. Every
interested and responsible citizen has a
duty to do his utmost to bring success
to the effort that means so much to
our entire community.

the veterans would take advantage of
this Dlan which would make the iTnnne-

Hines said the bills introduced by
Senators Caraway, Democrat, Arkansas

The veterans administrator was not
prepared to estimate the cost of the bill
introduced by Senator Vandenberg, Re-
publican, Michigan, to permit veterans
to borrow up to so per cent Of the face
value Of the certificates.
He said it would allow an average
loan of $500 to each veteran, which
would meet the greatest need at this
time"
"One advantage of this measure" he
said, lis that it does allow the veteran
to retain for the present an equity in
the certificate and protect his family in
case of his death"

BRITISH BOAT SEIZED.
Shot From Coast Guard Ship Rips Hole
in Fuel Tank.

NEW LONDON, Conn, January IS
(P).-With a full load of liquor, the
British motor vessel Temiscodua from
ST. Johns, Newfoundland, was captured
today in Fort Pond Bay by Coast
Guard patrol boat. A one-pound shell
from the patrol boat tore through
fuel tank aboard the rum vessel and
caused the engine room to be flooded
with gasoline.
When captured she was found to
carry a load of 1000 cases of choice
liquors, valued at approximately $4,000.
Six men comprised her crew, although
Coast Guard officers found a seventh
listed in her manifest. The seventh
man, the captain reported, was the
cook, left at st. Pierre. However, Coast
Guard officials said the British con-
sulate would be asked to investigate the
possibility that he had been lost at sea.

the Coast Guard was performing its

Loss of Life Regretted.
ut is regrettable the captain lost his
life, but it was simply an incident to

sure the Coast Guard did not fire with
intention of taking life, but to prevent
the rum-runner escaping,
Apparently the Canadian rum-run-
ner was violating the laws of the United
States, which it is the duty of the Coast
Guard to enforce under mandates from
the Congress of the United States"
Lowman said a Coast Guard cutter
caught the rum-runner transferring a
cargo of liquor to a scow and a small
motor boat we'll within the 12-mile
limit and just outside New York Har-
Dor. He said the cutter hoisted her
pennant whereupon the rum-runner
tried to escape.
Vessel Sought Long Time.
"The rumerunner was not only well
within the 12-mile limit, but was max
ing direct contact with. American boats
from the shore, including a scow, on
which was found part of a cargo; a
tug that had the scow in tow, and also
a motor boat which was alongside, "
Lowman said THE motor boat es-
capped, but the rum-runner, scow and
tug were seized"
He said the Josephine K, which
hailed from Nova Scotia, was a notori-
GUS rum-runner and had been sought
for a long time. No request for infor-

madam government regarding the cap
