HOUSE STANDS PAT
IN PAy-RA|SE ROW
Votes to Sustain Conferees
in Opposition to Senate
Amendments.

By an overwhelming vote today the
House voted to sustain the conferees on
their opposition to Senate amendments
carrying increases amounting to four and
a quarter million dollars to bring under
average salaries up to grade as the first
80 per cent under three-year program
to do justice to underpaid Government
employees in accordance with the Hoover
and Budget Bureau recommended ions.
Previous to giving this instruction to
the conferees for further insiStence on
the salary increase question in the
Treasury-Post Once appropriation bill

Guardia, Republican, of New York, to
recede and concur in the Senate amend

Sharp Debate Held.
This vote followed sharp debate.
during which Chairman Lehlbach of
the House Civil Service Committee re-
peatedly insisted that until these Sala-
ries are paid the Congress Is 'gyping
the employees"
The row in the House broke when Chair
man Wood of the Appropria Com
mittee, who was personally heading the
House confereeS in this clash with the
Senate, asked that all of the Senate
amendments on the salary increase
question be considered in a block and
moved that the House further insist on
its disagreement.
Representative LaGuardia made a
substitute motion that the House re-
cede and concur in the Senate amend
mentS. He insisted that there was a
record vote in the House on the In
terror Department appropriation bill
which aff1rmatively struck out the Wood
amendment and thereby carried with it
an expectation that these salary in
creases would be put into the bill in the
Senate.
He said that these appropriations are
necessary to carry out the increases

pected had been authorized in rejecting
the Wood amendment, which, in itself,

tered about her 41a miles southeast of

upper bay, its way to the open sea being
blocked

sued craft kept on her course and -four
more shots were fired, the last one tear

from the cutter boarded her. The cap
