WASHINGTON, July 13.-A joker
has been discovered which serves to
protect congressmen's wives, daugh-
tiers, sons and other relatives from
the full force of the new economy
and pay reduction law.
The entire house membership is
revising its pay roll in accordance
with the new economy act. But con-
gressmen fixed the law so they could
deal gently with relatives.
One middle-we3tern congressman
eyer has increased his Wifes salary.
An eastern congressman has taken
Of cae relative and substituted an
other at higher pay.
Few Wives Dropped
Comparatively few wives and 9TH
er relatives are being dropped,
though the law frowns on double
family employment in other de-
partments. Full details of these
changes will be reported later.
Despite the storm aroused by re-
cent United Press publication of de-
tails concerning the way the fam
lily pay roll racket operates in con-
gress, most of the 100 or more mem
bers indulging in these practices are
sitting oignt. They are waiting for
toe excitement to blow over.
Despite the opening of the pay
roll records to inspection by house
resolution, despite the defeat of
Senator Smith W. Brookhart (Rep..
Ia, partly because five other
Brookharts we're on the federal paw
roll, and despite floods of indignant
letters from poverty stricken con-
stituentS, the majority of congress-
men are taking courageous stand on
this issue.
Standing on Rights
They are standing Loyalty by their
right to hire relatives. They took
a cut of 10 per cent themselves.
In these hard times, campaign
contributions come slowly. The
thrifty members are trying to make
their clerk hire allowances, MILEAGE.

petty side revenues of a seat in the
house of representatives carry this
years election expenses. Many
wife and daughter will have to
surrender government pin money to
help pay for dads campaign this
year.
For a time they had a close call
when the economy bill was being
considered. But members framed
the law so that their clerks come
under a special category. Each
congressman had been allowed
$4,000 for clerk hire. The new law
cuts this 81-3 per cent, down to
$4,583.33.
Split Any Way
The joker is contained in the
following language Such reduced
"hOWdiICe W NC dppOrClOneQ by the
representative, delegate Or resident
commissioner among his clerks as
he may determine"
The clerk of the house officially
has notified each member that the
old top limit of $4,000 to any one
clerk stands without reduction.
Within that limitation, the same as
always has applied, the congressman
may split his $4,583.33 any way he
wishes.
Furthermore, congressman ex-
empted themselves from the provis-
ions requiring that in dismissing en-
ployeS, the first to go must be mar
ried persons when both are working
for the government, and that in
hiring new employees, preference
should be given to persons other
than those with wife or husband on
the government pay roll.
Application of the married worker
provision to congress would have
stricken off the wife of Speaker
Garner and numerous others.

Paul Won Hindenberg will serve an
other seven-year term as result oil

sational victory at the polls over his
Fascist opponent, Adolph Hitler, by
approximately 100000 votes.
The election Sunday resulted in
a great personal triumph for the
hero of the German people in war
and their idol in peace, although
Hitler increased his popular vote
over that received in the March
elections. The president received an
absolute majority. Only plural

The final returns as announced by
the federal election board were;
Hindenburg, 1883, 642; Hitler, 49,

Thaelmann was the Communist
candidate. His vote fell off heavily
from the March election.
There was the usual election ten

which our own government would
have to depend in case of war.
Our attitude on forced labor is
ridiculous. Without representatives
in Russia, our government can't
prove whether the labor was forced
or not. The result is that ship
ments are held up, cargoes deter
iorate, and harborage and other
charges pile up. 1t all is part of
a scheme to discourage Russian
trade.
Russian trade is to our advan-
tage by four or five to one. And
the idea that such trade is only
temporary Is unfounded.
There are decades of profitable
business ahead, at the very least,
were it not that our country seems
to be politically afraid to face the
facts.

in the way of depicting war for the
beastly, horrible affair it really is.
To this library of realism there

a little book edited by Frederick A.
Barber and subtitled, Camera Rec
ords of Wars Gruesome Scenes"
THERE are no words in the Ian
Il guage strong enough to tell how
awful war can be; but where Ian
guage fails. the camera can come
close to succeeding.
If you need any further persua-
sion that war is too ghastly thing
for civilized nations to indule in
any longer, 1 invite you to look at
the pictures this book contains.
Here we have actual, uncensored
battle scenes. The camera tells you,
quite clearly, just what hot steel
and high explosives can do to soft
human flesh.
It shows you the diverse side of
the medallion which has bright
parades and gay flags on the more
familiar side.
You must have strong nerves to
get through this book, even though
the job won't take you fifteen min
utes. It's exhibits are sickening-

Hitler received 2,076,000 more
votes than in the March election,

Hidenburg's majority in Sundays

RUSSIAN TRADE
VALUABLE, SAYS
INDUSTRY CHIEF
Americans Lose Millions by
Bar Against Soviet,
Alter Declares.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
serlpps Howard Foreign Editor

CINCINNATI, April 11.-Refusal
OF the United States to establish
normal relations with Soviet Russia,
in the opinion of Robert S. Alter,
president of the American Tool
works here, is short-sighted and
without political or economic justifl-
cation.
1t is costing American man
ufacturers millions annually, he
said, adding to unemployment, pre-
senting European competitors with
profitable orders which should come
TO us, and is making an enemy of a
powerful people who want to be our
friends.
The governments stand" Alter
declared. has forced us and others
who formerly did huge business
with Russia virtually to close our
plants and throw thousands Of men
out of work.
If normal intercourse were estab-
lished, there is hardly a doubt
that enormous orders would be
given American manufacturers.
Prospects for huge orders are in
view for the near future and
others are developing.
Europe Gets Benefit
Under existing conditions,
American manufacturers can not
obtain financing in this country.
But German and other bankers Dor
row money in the United States
and use it to finance Russian bust
ness for their manufacturers
Proper relations between Amer
lea and Russia would facilitate
banking accommodations. Drafts
could be discounted at reason
able rate of interest. AS matters
stand, Europeans borrow American
money, then turn right around and
use it to shylock the American
manufacturer doing business with
Russia.
(Note: Discount rates from 10 to
AZ per cent have been reported by
American business men on their
Russian paper-not because the pa
per itself is bad, for not penny
of it has been defaulted-but be-
cause normal relations between
<sussia and America are lacking
Editor)
British Change Stand
"Our firm has been been offered
$1,000,000 worth of machine tool
business in the last year, whereas
now we have not single Russian
order on our books and very few
others, due to the general depres-
sion over here.
America no longer is pioneer
nation. There is practically no
machine tool business in the United
States today. I hate to admit it,
but right now our large firm has
on it's books only about $4,000 in
business when it ought to have more
than $2,000,000.
THE British have reversed their
attitude toward Russia. England
now feels that Russia is the only
undeveloped country left in the
world in which it is possible to
build trade on big scale. Accord
ingly, the British government has
adopted a policy which make it
possible for it's nationals to get in
on that development.
I'VE sit, over here, refusing to
make move to restore normal re-
lations with that country and our
industries remain idle. Workers who
otherwise might have good jobs are
in the breadlineS.
Need Russian Business
Certain of our industries are in
the place where Russian business is
most necessary to prevent almost a
complete collapse. The machine
tool business is one, a business upon
