PAY CONFEREES
HOLD FINAL
SESSION
ouse-Senate Members to Re-
port to Bodies in Event Of
Failure to Reach Goal

After many hours of futile
maneuvering and attempted
compromising, the Senate and
House conferees on the general
economy bill met today in a
last attempt to reach an agree
ment on the Government pay
cut and furlough sections OF
that essential measure.
Should they fail today to come
to accord. the program of the
conferees will be to return to their
respective houses and report a
disagreement on this important
section, which is the heart of the
economy bill.
Will Be Instructed
It is proposed either by reduc-
ing Government salaries or adopt
ing the Presidents plan for COM
pulSory furloughs of 80 days dur
ing the next fiscal year to save
more than half the amount which
the economy bill must save in
Government expenditures.
A report of a disagreement can
only result in sending the con-
ferees back to their conference
room for further negotiations, as
a deadlocked jury is sent back to
make another attempt at a YER
dict, or in instructions by either
Senate or House, or yield to COM
promise.
Senate May Yield
Considering the bare majority
of three by which the Senate sub
stituted the furlough plan for the
House pay-cut provision, the yield
ing is believed more likely to come
from the Senate side.
The House overwhelmingly re-
jected furloughs and it's conferees
have contended that they need
no further instructions to oppose
this plan.
There was still talk at the Capt.
tol today that some compromise
between the two widely-divergent
plans could be reached by put
ting in a modified pay cut plan,
with a possible shift in the rate
and exemption figures.
Can Make Report
The confereeS held no meeting
yesterday, though they had bat
tied all the week.
There were, however, informal
discussions among the members
of the Senate and House groups.
If it becomes necessary to re-
port disagreement on this main
section of the bill, the conferees
are entitled to make a partial
report and ask its approval on
such other items as have been
threshed out in the conference
room.

C|TY'S HEALTH
ENDANGERED
BY MEN
Nine Structures Looked Over
by Municipal Quartet; Fire
Risks Also Stressed

General conditions concern
ing health, fire and struc-
tural hazards in nine build
ings housing approximately
$500 members of the bonus
expeditionary force, were de-
plored in a report submitted
today to the District Com
missioners by an investigating
committee of municipal Off
cials.
Particular stress was laid upon
health dangers which exist in all
of the buildings.
Danger Increases
Regarding the general situation
the report stated:
Conditions are deplOrable in
most instances. If these build
ings are to be occupied for any
length of time it certainly would
be a danger to the community
at large"
The greatest danger from fire
hazard standpoint, the report
stated, exists in the building at
334 Pennsylvania Ave. N. W.,
which houses 900 veterans.
In general only slight hazards
exist relative to defective 'struc-
tural conditions, according to the
report, and these could easily be
corrected.
Properties Examined
The buildings inspected by the
committee are located at 334
Pennsylvania Ave, 1868 Pennsyl-
vania Ave. N. W., 1924 Pennsyl-
vania Ave. S. E., which is used
as a commissary; Eighth and 1
Streets Southeast and 200-2 A
st. S. E.
Other buildings are at 73O
Eleventh st. S. w., which is used
as headquarters; Seventh and
l. Streets Southwest and Twelfth
and D Streets Southwest.
The committee stated that be,
cause of the large number of men
housed in each building it would
be virtually impossible to adopt
emergency regulations to correct
the general conditions.
Firemen are station at num-
ber of the buildings to prevent
smoking as a means of reducing
the fire hazards.
Those on Committee
The committee is composed of
Fire Marshal Calvin G.. LAUDER,
Police Inspector Thaddeus r.
Bean Assistant Health Officer
Edward j. Schwartz and Assistant
Building Inspector Jesse K. Kim.

Another good basketball team
should be the case at Eastern next
year, if the collection of hold
overs play we'll at all.
Seven men of this years team
will be back. They include Bay,
liss, Zola and Waters, first-string
performers for the series recently
ended, and Davis, Essex, Hale and
Edelen. bench warmers, good men
who did not get, into the game
very often because of the wealth
of veteran material on the club.
Mike Kelley, who is to take over
basketball, according to the pres.
ent plans, will not have Bernie
Lieb, Barney Kane, Bones Court
ney and Bernie Phillips to help
things, but the collection left
should not cause him to worry
great deal about the season. Lieb,
Kane, Courtney and Phillips will
have graduated by this time next
year.
Should Be Better
The three first-String hold-overs,
Bayliss, Zola and Waters, should
rise to even greater heights in 1888
than in the recent series. All are
great players and bound to go at
faster clip with each additional
game.
Then Davis, Essex, Hale and
Edelen should help rather than
hinder. Davis is as big if not
bigger than Lieb. while Hale,
Edelen and Essex are excellent
floor men, maybe not as good as
Courtney and Kane, but as will
ing to become as good, if not
better, with a little active work.
Also there will be the three
former Gonzaga players on hand,
namely, Tommy Nolan, Dickie
Fitzgerald and Joe Peruzzi-three
capable players if ever there was
three.
Letters Presented
Thus, prospects loom very
bright. Naturally supporters hope
another championship will be
won. That goes without saying.

BLONDE RIPPER.
FACES KOCS|S

The greatest natural bantam
weight clash of the year will be
staged Tuesday night at Port
ner's Arena, where Billy Landers,
blonde ripper from Norfolk,
tackles Antol Kocsis. Hungarian
bantam champ, in the windup of
the Day Nursery card.
No only will the fans be Of
fered this sterling attraction, but
if present plans go through, they
will see Buster Brown, Max Wax
mans pride, against Louie Jal-
los, rising young Cleveland Greek
lightweight, in the semiwindup.
Kocsis is the, greatest bantam
discovery CT the year. He was
found by Jimmy Bronson when
the latter was attending the 1928
Olymplcs at Amsterdam. 1t took
Jimmy two years to get Antol to
come to America, but he finally
consented.
Three weeks ago Bronson's am
bition was realized when his
protege punched Vidal Gregorio
dizzy for eight heats at the Gar
den to cop a verdict. Antol is
given fifth ranking among the
worlds 118-pounders oy the Ring

are strong and powerful and both

Six months ago Roebuck would
have been considered a pushover
for Lewis, but the Indian has
chopped down some stout, oppo-
nents lately. At that the Stran-
gler will have the edge on Roe
buck due to his greater expert
ence and is favored to win for
that reason alone.
Powerful deadlock
Lewis rode to wrestling fame
by virtue of a deadlock which
permitted him to nearly paralyZe
opponents. He put such pressure
on an opponents head that the
latter was compelled to quit or
risk a fractured skull. Roebuck
will be in the same position
tonight but the Indian has a
tough scalp.

Ting fans are attaching unusual
interest to the bout and Promoter
Joe Turner predicts a record
turnout, one as large as any that

sions when Jimmy Londos came
