ary under this act shall be paid in
excess Of $4,000 a year.
The last bill was referred to the Sen
ate Committee on Agriculture, and the
first two were referred to the Senate
Committee on Judiciary, headed by
Senator Norris of Nebraska, a commit
tee of which Senator Borah is also q
member.
Senator Borah's bill proposing re-
duction of salaries paid members OF
Congress is not likely to be popular on
Capitol Hill, although it Is admitted
that II the matter comes TO a vote in
Congress it is likely to pass.
The proposals to cut the salaries OF
Federal employees as matter OF gov
ernmental economy will be attacked
from many quarters in Congress, it was
said today. The feeling Is growing
stronger that a general slash OF sal
aries of the Federal Government at
this time would be taken as an example
by corporations and business concerns
| throughout the country to cut wages
and salaries still further.
Many members OF Congress believe
| that it would be a great mistake to set
such an example.
| One suggestion made today was that
| a cut in Federal salaries should be ac-
companied by a cut in the hours OF
employment. In this way, it was said
the rate of pay could be practically
maintained and at the same time many
thousand additional employees would
| have to be put on the rolls In order 70
1 perform the necessary work. This sug-
| gestion was advanced not as a measure
Of economy. but as plan to help re-
| lieve the unemployment situation.

LEVEE DyNAM|I|NG
FEARED IN SOUTH
Blasting to Divert Water to
Other Sections Threatened
In Mississippi.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GLENDORA, Miss, January A.
Threats OF the deliberate blasting OF
levees to divert the course of food
waters rolling through the Tallahatchie
Valley added to the gravity of the sit
uation in the Delta lowlands today.
Shotgun squads patrolled parts of the
threatened system. while convicts, la
borers and householders worked to-
gether TO strengthen the water-logged
and crumbling barriers against the
steadily rising water.
Chief Engineer Offenheiser of the
Yazoo- Mississippi Delta LeVee Board,
official observer of the flood situation,
said the water probably would reach its
peak here today. He was fearful, he
said, OF what might result as recession
began and considered that the situa-
ton will remain critical throughout the
week.
Water Still Rising.
Water continued TO rise about an inch
every "a hours at Glendora, Swan Lake,
Sumner and Webb.
The most serious menace remains on
the eastern side of the Tallahatchie
River at Twilight, Grassy Lake and
Matthew Bayou, which are being pro-
tected by plantation labor on account
Of the inability of convict workers to
get across the swollen stream, which
Is or 4 miles wide in places.
On the western banks Of the Talla-
hatchie River Frederic's levee held the
center of the limelight, and most Of the
convicts were concentrated there.
Boils developed along the Glendors
levee line, but workers kept down
danger spots with sandbags.
Breaks Are Expected.
The pressure against Tallahatchie
River levees at Asa and Stone is par
ticularly menacing and growing in
strength, Wilmer Kennedy, Batesvills
publisher, reported. Weak spots have
also developed northeast of Mimms,
Curtis Station and Carriere. Kennedy
said he believed there would be addi-
tional breaks In that territory.
Attempts to dynamite Pattison Bayou
leVee in the past three days were at
tributed TO dwellers of that region who
wish to divert floods into other streams.
Guards are patrolling levees with in
structions TO shoot suspicious charsc.
ters seen around dikes.
