Wnether or not BanJy rogers,
whom I mentioned as our pilot
L on the trip around Africa. is
real person.
Yes, indeed, he is real-and very
much alive He has been plotting air
planes since way back in 1910. Banty
is his nickname, but he is not so small
as the nickname might indicate. He
says he got it when he was a boy in
his teens Since then he has grown a
great deal.
Banty was an aviator in the World
War and tells stories of his experiences
abroad Shortly before the armlstice.
he crashed to the ground and came
near ending his career. For weeks in
the hospital he hovered between life
and death, but at last he was brought
back to Well-being.
Among his war stories in one about
a close friend who was also an aviator
in the war This friend was a fine
looking fellow, but he came from the
mountains of Kentucky and did not
know how to read or write. One day
the King Of England came to point
behind the lines. and the mountaineer
aviator was told to appear for decora-
! ton Upon coming into the royal pres
ence he held out his hand to the King
| and said, Hello, George, old boy"
That was not proper etiquette, but
the King smiled and shook hands with
him in a cordial manner.
This aviator. sad to say, was later
killed in battle.
Banty spent four years in the war,
and Of course had very exciting time ;
but some of his war memories trouble
| him. The other day he said to me:
"A baby should make his first step
! with his right foot
Why" l asked.
Because" he replied, "a soldier steps
first with his left foot"
Like many other veterans of the war,
Banty would not care to go through the
same thing again. As matter Of fact,
1 think there are very few persons in
the civilized world who like the idea Of
war. Almost every one in every country
! believes in peace. That being the case,
it seems strange that nations should
ever make war against one another.
Perhaps there will never be another
worldwide war Let us all hope there
viii not be, for such war might wreck
the things we hold most precious.
If you could carry in your mind the
pictures I have of smiling boys and girls
in Holland, Germany, England and

When frysng, don't put in the

To prevent marmalade grain

D. {. RELIEF
Emergency Cited in Message
to Congress; District Heads
Alter Their Stand

An emergency appropriation
of 100000 for the relief of
the unemployed in the District
has been asked of Congress by
President Hoover.
The President urged that the
money be made available at once.
He suggested that it could be
provided through a reduction of
that amount in the $1,600.0O0
Municipal Center item in the 1888
District budget.

1t is understood the proposal
was drafted at the District Build
ing Wednesday after a change

SECRET SESSION
On MERGER

In executive session late to-
day, the Senate District Commit
tee again will attempt to redraft
the street car merger bill and
vote out a compromise measure
fairly satisfactory to the Public
Utilities Commission, the traction
lines, the corporation counseIs
office and various civic groups.
It was understood the commit
tee would meet behind closed
doors to expedite action and fore
stall possible requests for the
presentation of additional testi-
mony and conflicting suggestions
Prevailing sentiment in the
committee is to get the bill out
of the committee. It has been
the subject of numerous confer
ences and hearings for several
years past and Senators are
plainly showing WEAKNESS because
of the long controversy.

HOUSE EXPECTS
PAY CUT.B|LL
MONDAY
Favorable Report Promised on
Graduated Reduction on
All U. S. Salaries

A Federal salary reduction
bill probably containing pro-
vision for pay cuts ranging
from one to 20 per cent and
applicable to the lowest and
highest wages is expected to
be reported out by the House
Economy Committee on Mon
day, Representative John Me-
Duffie (D.) of Alabama,
chairman of the subcommit-
tee authorized to draft a re-
duction measure, announced
today.
The subcommittee today ex-
amined records charts and tables
presented by Herbert Brown,
chief of the U. S. Bureau of the
Budget. to determine the econ
omies that might be affected by
sweeping pay reductions.
Graduated Scale
The sentiment of the House ap-
pears to be, according to McDuf-
fie, a favor of graduated scale
of reductions so that it is ex-
pected that the bill will contain
such provisions.
It will be applicable, it is said,
to all Government employees op-
Grating on regular pay rates in
cluding members of Congress.
A flat rate of reduction such
as is used in business houses
was advocated by McDuffie. He
said, however, that a bill con-
tanning the graduated scale would
probably meet greater favor.
Rainey Backs Cuts
Representative Rainey Cd of
Illinois, majority floor leader, in
a radio address last night on the
tax bill, urged a cut of 10 per
cent all along the line from the
Presidents salary to that of the
Government laborer. or a gradu-
ated reduction as high as 20 per
cent for the higher salaries to a
10 per cent cut for the lower
grades.
Rainey's proposal is to reduce
all salaries of $4,000 and over
10 per cent, with the consequent
annual saving of approximately
$3;500,000.
Representatives Byrns CD of
Tennessee, chairman of the econo-
my committee, said he favored a
graduated reduction.

INTERIOR BILL
FACES HEAVY
FUND GUT
10 Per Cent Slash Proposed
BY McKeIIar Key to Attack
on All Departments

As a sign of crystalizing de-
termination in Congress for
radical slashes in all appro-
priation bills, and reduction in
Government salaries, the SEN
ate Appropriation Committee
today was confronted with the
almost unprecedented task of
making over an entire annual
supply bill-that covering the
Interior Department.
Oldtimers do not recall when
whole appropriation measure
has been sent back to committee
with a mandate that millions be
Topped from the bill as originally
reported.
Move BY McKellar
However, that is what the Nc
Keller motion adopted by the
Senate, 40 to 25, late yesterday,
does in the following language:
"That the bill be recon-
mitted to the Committee on
Appropriations with inStruc-
tiOns to report the same back
to the Senate with amendments
providing an aggregate reduc-
tion of 10 per centum in the
amount of the appropriations
contained in the bill as received
from the House."
The House Interior bill carried
$50, ,446, 900: the Senate committee
made it $54,87O,O0O and the Sen
ate added items here and there
during debate. r-.
Cut All Along Line
The successful economy motion
of Senator McKellar CD of Ten
nessee, means that the bill must
be returned to the Senate with q
total of approximately only $45,-
600, 900.
Consequently, it is estimated
practically every item in the bill,
except such as may relate to fixed
appropriations, must be pared
down and bureau and other activ-
tiles must be curtailed for the
next fiscal year.
The accompanying House move
for Government pay slashes and
other reductions presages the
lower body will go along with the
McKellar plan.
