j. s. PAY CUTS
H|T:B BY BYRNS

No Federal employees will have
their salaries cut except as a very
last resort, in case the budget
cannot be balanced otherwise by
economy and higher taxes, if
Representative Joseph W. Byrns
(D0 Of Tennessee has his way,
he declared here today.
Slated to be chairman Of the
House Appropriations Committee
if the Democrats organize the
House, he added: {
T am not in favor of cutting
any salaries, especially the
lower salaried Government work
ers, until by taxation we cause
everybody to bear q fair share
of the expenses Of Government.
would vote to cut my own sal
ary as quickly as 1 would vote
to cut any Others"
Byrns said the budget cuts al
ready announced by President
Hoover are not large enough. He
said the proposed Army and Navy
slashes would have little effect on
appropriations.

Designed to bring about closer
cooperation regarding school build.
ing repair work, Major H. L. Robb,
assistant engineer Commissioner,

ences between school officials and
attaches of the District Engineer

HIGH PRESSURE
IN FUND PLEA
ADMITTED
District Sanitary Engineer Due
To Face Commissioners
To Explain Methods

j. B. Gordon, District sani-
tary engineer, frankly adj
mitted today that he used
methods tainted with coercion
in gaining subscriptions Of
three days pay from employees
in his department to the Com
munity Chest for unemploy-
ment relief.
His admission came upon the
heels of a statement issued by the
District Commissioners, which
warned heads of all departments
against use of "sandbag" methods
in obtaining the subscriptions and
that the campaign must be con-
Quoted on a strictly voluntary
basis.
Mr.. Gordon Explains
Mr.. Gordon said that following
the procedure outlined by Major
Daniel j. Donovan, chairman Of
the District collection committee,
payroll lists of all employees were
made up. One of the engineers
assistants passed through the
Sewer Department with the list
to obtain signatures of employees.
The engineer stated:
when the list was returned
to me, there were several who
had not signed. 1 called these
men into my office. In each
case I told them that officially
we were not to use coercion in
obtaining the subscriptions.
81 then, as q friendly act, told
them my personal opinion in
the matter. I told them that I
thought If they did not sign
they would be marked men
since these inStGuctinOs came
from the President through the
Civil Service Commission.
Disposition of Lists
ri told them that I thought
one of the lists of subscriptions
and nOn-SubScriptiOnS would go
to the District Personnel Board
and another to either the Per-
SOnneI Classification Board or
the Bureau of Efficiency.
II also told them that IL
night work was to be done, they
might be called upon to do it,
and could not prove that it
was because they had not
signed. I said that If we were
told to cut down in this office,
they light be laid off, and
could not prove it was because
they had not signed"
When informed of the admis-
sion by Engineer Gordon. the
Commissioners stated they would
investigate the matter and prob.
ably call him before them.

Kansan Sees Busy Session for
D. C. Committee, With
Subjects Varied

Predicting that the Senate
District of Columbia Commit
tee is about to begin lone of
the busiest sessions" in it's
history, and discussing local
problems ranging from the
"Riley case" to necessary
"blue sky" laws, the restric-
tion on sales of firearms and
the abandonment at once of
all portable school buildings
in the Capital, Senator Arthur
Capper (R.) of Kansas, com
mittee chairman, came back to
Washington today and issued
formal statement. His in
terest in the Edith Riley case
was apparent.
With reference to the latter
case, which has had reverbra-
tions outside Of Washington,
Chairman Capper said:
II have kept myself in
formed through the newspapers
concerning the case Of little
Edith Riley, who is said to
have been locked in a dark
closet in her home for several
years, until rescued by a repre-
sentative of the WOmen'S
Bureau Of the police depart
ment.
Certain Of Correction
There has been some dis
cuSsiOn Of the part played by
agents Of the Board Of Pub
lie Welfare In this case.
don't pretend now to know all
the details of the SOrdid story,
but If there has been negligence
by any public worker, Pm sure
the Welfare Board will deal
summarily with the offender.
"If further legislation is re-
quired to protect the helpless
children Of Washington from
cOwardly and deviliSh cruelty,
I want to know it. I shall Ger.
tainly make Inquiries in this
direction and shall act on in
formation received"
Speaking of portable school
houses the Senator said:
II am happy to note that the
use Of pOrtables i'm the District
school system is diminishing
through the erection of new
buildings and additions. One
portable school is just one too
many for the Capital.
Care Should Be Used
Furthermore, in the cOnstruc-
tiOn Of modern, well-lighted
school buildings the District
should exercise every care. Last
spring there were two accidents

pIeted' structures collapsed.

ingtOn, and hope for their gen.
erouS provision in the coming
session." l
Senator Capper, in further elab-
grafton of remedial legislation for
the District during the coming ses-
sion, said in substance:
That he would revive the bill
for restriction in the sale of fire
arms, which has contributed to
banditry here.
That the three measures known
as the Blaine bills to regulate the
issuance and sale Of securities in
licensing of real-estate brokers
and salesmen, and "to institute a
strict, efficient plan for control of
issuance and sale of securities in
the Capital" would get his hearty
support.
That he also would support pro-
posed legislation to curb gambling
and liquor operations here through
supplementary laws.
