RULE TO BAN PAY
INCREASES IN ALL
BILLS Is APPROVED

Continued From First Psge)
all walks of life besieged the Capitol
today with protests.
When this storm of objection was at
its height, Chairman ByrnS Of the
House Appropriations Committee and
Chairman Collins Of the subcommittee
went into an executive conference
Chairman ByTns had previously held
conferences with other members OF his
committee.
It was reliably stated that the Ma
tional Guard will be satisfied with the
bill when reported and that no fight
will be made by the National Guard or
the Militia Bureau for increased ap-
preparations.
Bvrns Unadvised of Slash.
Chairman Collins OF the subcommit-
tee. while brushing away all questioners
with the statement that there had been
many wild guesses as to what his sub
committee will recommend, did admit
positively that he would not counte-
nance any cut for chemical warfare, for
ordnance or for any item OF expert
mentation. This, he emphasized, was
consistent with his attitude on mill
tary preparedness.
He also admitted that there might be
rather drastic curtailment OF the citl-
zens' training camps because the War
Department officials had testified in the
hearings that the chief good derived
from these camps was in establishing
contacts with the citizens in those
neighborhoods.
Chairman Byrns, however, said that
he had not been advised regarding any
program of drastic cuts in appropria-
tions for the War Department.
Representative William c. Wright of
Georgia, ranking Democratic member
on the subcommittee, stated that the
principal saving in appropriations in
this bill would be through taking into
consideration a reduction in commodity
costs, but admitted that there will be
many important reductions throughout
the entire bill.
Cavalry to be Hard Hit.
The prediction that the bill will
show the Cavalry to be among the
hardest hit branches of the military
service is borne out by an admission
that there will be a very important
reduction in the number of horses al
lowed. 1t was stated that the Army
now has 1,147 horses above the num-
Der War Department estimates as
needed, and that altogether the de-
partment owns 35 900 horses and mules.
The budget recommended the purchase
of 1000 horses, but this will be re-
duced below TOO in the bill.
1t is expected that the bill will be
completed by the subcommittee on
Wednesday.
The reduction of s2O,000,O0O below
the budget estimate applies to both mil
itary and non-military services. 1t calls
for considerable reduction In both
military and military branches.

UNION
PLAN HIT BY ADAMS
Means Throwing Away Ex-
perience and Starting on Ad-
venture, Says Secretary.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary Adams today opposed
Democratic-sponsored proposals to
merge the War and Navy Departments
as measures which would throw over
board all past experience and start on
an adventure"
mo Nation know Of that is Of any
size has started on such venture" :"
Adams testified before the House Ex-
penditures Committee.
There is the theoretical thought that
it will achieve economy-that can be
proved only by experience"
England has studied the idea with
infinite care twice recently, he said,
and decided ito go as she was"
Running Organization.
You are creating unit too big for
any one person to know and you are
running the present organization. 3"
Referring to the proposed Secretary
of National Defense, who would sup
plant the present Secretaries for War
and Navy, with the addition of assist
ant secretaries for the Army, the fleet
and aviation, Adams asserted
BY this consolidation, you are doing
something fundamentally wrong in
principle. Think of the political power
that that man (the Secretary for Ma
tional Defense) has.
You are creating there a power
against the good principles of Govern
ment."
Difficulties Encountered.
Chairman Cochran called attention
to difficulties the chief co-ordinator has
said he encountered in making the
Army and Navy work together
You are talking about trifles," Adams
replied. You get better cooperation
by just what we are doing than by this
consolidation"
He added that the joint Army and
Navy Board satisfactorily handles
things, but 1t would be unfortunate to
expect the chief co-ordinator Ito run
the Army and Navy"
Cochran remarked that Great Britain
has unified air service, and Adams
replied:
Yes, but she realizes it is a failure
so far as her navy is concerned"

HYDE PARK. N. Y, January 3d.
This little Hudson River village was
giving birthday party for home
town boy-Franklin D. Roosevelt, Gov
ernor and presidential candidate.
Some of the old countryfolk who re-
ceived Invites" for the birthday party
in the Staatsburg School House to-
night remembered a January 80 fifty
years ago when James Roosevelt an
nounced he had son and had named
him Franklin Delano. The boy, they
recalled roamed about the countryside,
sailed skiffs on the Hudson River, went
away to school and then drifted into law
practice and finally politics.
His friends who gathered with him
tonight for the party followed all the
ups and downs of his political life, saw
him nominated for the Democratic vice
presidency-and defeated; drafted by
Alfred E. Smith for the gubernatorial
candidacy and elected-twice.

ROOSEVELT BIRTHDAY FETED
BY VILLAGERS WHO REMEMBER
Hyde Park Scenes of Boyhood That Developed Governor
and Presidential Candidate Recalled.

The friends banded together when
he ran for the governorship in 1928
and formed a Roosevelt Home Club"
The clubputs on the party tonight The
Governor spent the day at his farm
here among the scenes of his boyhood.
They have fixed up dance, the old
and the new steps, Broadway stuff and
the lancers and Virginia reel. They
will eat afterward, and it won't be
dinner; the folks down here know the
meal as supper" Those who don't
want to dance can talk, seated on
benches along the wall of the audi
torium in the new school house at the
fork in the road, few miles north of
Hyde Park.
The neighbors who are coming are
from the farms and the village. With
them will ningle the Governor s family
and the friends who have worked with
him through campaign and public
office.

E. P. Brooke, superintendent of Munich
pal Building, to the report. He sug-
gested that Mr.. Brooke consult with
Acting Engineer Commissioner D. A.
Dawson and ask that the building in
spector be directed to make a more
detailed examination, especially in view
of the fact that in one part of the
report it was said that some of the
wooden floors had sagged as much as
two and one-half inches. The floors
on which the sagging occurred were not
identified in the report.
Mr.. Brooke said that he would take
the matter up today. He said he had
already ordered file cases in the build
remove the strain from the center Of
the floors.
The headquarters building is ap-
proximately A years old. The floors
are of hollow tile construction, sup
ported by steel beams, and the sagging
of the wooden floor covering might or
might not indicate deterioration of the
tile underneath the wooden cover, ac-
cording to Col. Oehmann.
Davisons Decision Due Today.
The condition of the building first
was called to Col Oehmann's atten-
ton by the Police Department, and he
recommended that two heavy safes,
weighing, respectively six and two and
a half tons, be removed from the fifth
floor. This was done.
Col. Oehmann has no jurisdiction
over public buildings, his duties being
confined to examination of plans and
inspection of the construction of pri-
vate structures. Recently, however he
has been called on to examine all plans
for municipal structures drawn by the
municipal architect, before the building
contracts are let.
A decision from Maj Dawson is ex-
pected some time today.
