VILLAGE MAKES
A|D.CERTA|N

WOOD, ILL.,, July 16.
UNSD-With foresight and cour-
age this suburban community has
tackled its unemployment prob
lem. AS a reSult there will be
no starvation lin haywood this
coming winter. -
Through the success of an un.
usual village farm experiment
enough food has been raised to
feed the towns jobless, it was
announced today by DR.. Walter
c. Lovejoy, author of the plan.
Furthermore, the farm may yet
produce a surplus to be con-
tributed to the unemployed of
neighboring villages.
With the aid of local civic or.
ganizations DR.. Lovejoy obtained
90 acres of forest preserve land
and put 40 jobless men to work,
raising radishes, onions, beetS, tur-
nips and beans. Merchants con-
tributed the seed and dairies sup
piled horses. The women Of the
village prepared and served
lunches to the amateur farmers
and a farmer donated tools.
The women will cap the vege'
tables which will be stored for the
winter, while the unemployed
men will continue to raise other
crops.

BEETLES |NFES7
HAGERSTOWN

HAGERsTOWN. Md, July 16.
The infestation of Japanese
beetles in Hagerstown in the past
week or ten days has been so
rapid that representatives of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
and the University of Maryland
located here announce that it is
alarming and that more drastic
measures will have to be taken to
check it.
What is said to be the largest
capture of beetles in this entire
section since the beetle made it's
appearance about two years ago,
was made yesterday in trap in
the TOO block of West Washing
ton Street. There were ITS
beetles according to count. A
large number of beetles were
taken from traps in the 500
block on the same street. This
section is the most seriously in
tested district in the city.

CLERKS LIKELY
; TOFACE MORE
LOST PAY
Nearly Every Department of
Government to Be Hard ,
., Hit During Year

Because of reduced appro-
priations and the fact that
deficiency appropriations are
forbidden this year, Admins
trative furloughs may be ex-
pected in practically every
Government department some
time during the year, in addi-
tion to the months legislative
furlough provided in the
economy act.
Nearly every Government office
had to get a deficiency appropri'
alton during the last fiscal year
because original appropriations
were found not enough to. carry
them to June 80.
The number Of superannuated
employees retired from the Gov
ernment has been negligible, the
number and savings effected
thereby counting little against the
large totals.
PayroIIs Nearly Same
With practically the same en-
ploye staff remaining in each Of
flee, and with few opportunities
being offered for each office to
practice economy, it was ex.
planned today that the payroll of
each department will not be much
under last fiscal year.
Yet every department has had
an appropriation reduction this
year, and the deficiency and
emergency appropriations secured
last year, now forbidden. will be
missed this year.
The Commerce Departments s
deficiency last fiscal year, for in.
stance, was $117,869.
Some of the departments de-
ficiency funds needed last year.
impossible to get this year, and
the number of $1,500 employees
who would have to take a months
furloueh to make these sums up,
follow:
Interior, $471,717. 3.773 en-
ployes; Justice, $319,449, 2,555;
Labor, $601.102, $4,808; Navy,
$389,379, 3,115: State, $63,356,
646; Federal Trade Commission,
$4,000, 100; Commerce, $117,869,
S69 employees.
Extended Their Work
Some of the other departments
had large deficiency appropria-
tions, but they included so many
extensions of activity and other
things than administration and
personnel, only their own officials
know how much had to be Sc
cured for administration. These
deficiency appropriations in.
cluded: Agriculture Department,
$54,261,595 Postoffice, $1,738,-
946: Treasury, $19,718,709; War,
$1,017.723; Veterans Administra-
ton, $250,830,195.
It became evident today that
thousands Of employees must be
furloughed 80 days or more with
out pay, on the above basis, and
in accord with the Presidents
executive order yesterday. based
on Section 216 of the economy
act, on these forbidden deficien-
cieS alone, even presuming that
the present 30-day furlough will
balance the reduced appropria-
tions this year.

u. S. Salaries Not Expected
To STAY Cut Next Year

Of effective economy Of Govern.
ment will be found which will
lift burdens from the personnel
according to optimistic sentiment
voiced this week.
This philosophic attitude is
prompted partly by knowledge
that partisan pickering had much
to do with the economy bill, and
that it was rushed through Con-
gress in a hurry as the fiscal
year was ending after fruitless
arguments. The President him
self has stated clearly that some
phases Should be remedied at
the next session of Congress"
The Washington times., 1932-07-16

No matter If present business
conditions should continue an
other IL months, and although
savings effected by the economy
bill are not as large as Govern
ment leaders had hoped, belief
is being expressed this week in
Government offices that no pro.
visions of the economy bill will
be carried over into the next
fiscal year by new legislation, ex-
cept specified phases like the Is
day annual leave which perman-
emily replaces the 30-day leave.

RE-ARGUED

Judge Robert B. Peter in the
circuit court at Rockville yester-
day sustained the demurrer Of
the Montgomery county commits
sioners, to the complaint of Full
ton r. Gordon seeking to restrain
the commissioners from interfer-
ing with a cemetery he plans
operating near Potomac. Md.
Gordon is given 10 days to
amend his bill of complaint.
The demurrer argued that the
bill of complaint does not say
whether the plaintiff has COM
piled with the existing statutes
respecting establishment of ceme-
teries in the area mentioned. It
also pointed out that inasmuch
as no application has been made
for a permit none had been re-
fused Gordon.
Judge Peter ruled that applica-
ton for a permit should have
been made to the commissioners.

CHAMBER CALLS
FOR BANKING
REFERENDUM
U. S. Group Asks Business for
Expression on Branch,
Group Policy

In an effort to obtain the re-
action Of business men to legisla-
ton authorizing the extension Of
branch banking and to regulation
of group banking, the Chamber
Of Commerce of the United States
today announced referenda on
these subjects.
Banking legislation will form an
important part Of the Congress
Sional program in the next year,
since the virtual collapse Of Amer
ica's "fair weather" system, as it
was characterized by Secretary OF
the Treasury Mills, has cost the
public billions Of dollars in the
last 10 years.
Submit 2 Questions
The questions for vote in the
Chamber of Commerce reterenda
are:
Branch banking-There should
be Federal legislation authorizing
interstate branch, banking in all
States by national banks, OF pre-
dAE$A dAINSA
and restrictions, as recommended
by the committee.
Group banking-There should
be Federal legislation providing
regulation of group banking un-
der conditions as recommended by
the chamber committee.
Provides LOOphOIe
In dealing with group banking
the committee said that the term
group banking" referred to sys-
TENS of banking in which corpo'
rately independent banks are con-
trolled by holding pani e s
through stock ownership. The re-
port called attention to the fact
that group banking, in many re-
spects, is similar to branch bank.
ing and that much of its develop
ment has occurred in those sec
tions where branch banking Is
now prohibited.

The Republican and Democratic
leaders of the Senate today agreed
to bring about a vote on prohibi-
ton repeal in the upper branch
of Congress before March 4.
With a vote thus assured in the
Senate, Democratic leaders were
facing the problem OF securing an
other repeal vote in the House If
the question is to be submitted to
the States by the present session
of Congress.
Dry States Protected
The vote in the Senate will
come on a resolution proposing
repeal, but retaining in the Fed
eral Government the power to
regulate interstate shipment of al
coholic beverages Southern
Democrats, as we'll as other re-
cent converts to the repeal cause,
have insisted upon this protection
for dry States.

destined to be majority leader in
the next Senate, said:

tecting dry States being voted

issue by the Senate before

tee will begin drafting a COM
promise repeal resolution Mon
day. Its. greatest problem will be
to write into the resolution a
