JUDGE CHALLENGES
RULING BY M'CARL
ON FURLOUGH PLAN
William J. Graham Says De-
cision Conflicts With Econ
omy Law Itself.
PAY SLASH APPLIED
TWICE, HE POINTS OUT
Fears Additional Payless Leave
Will Be Applied in
Customs Court.

Another perplexing element was IN
jected into the economy law tangle to-
day when Judge William j. Graham.
presiding judge of the United States
Court Of Customs and Patent Appeals,
took issue with Controller General Nc
Carl's ruling that the legislative fur
lough must take precedence over the
administrative furlOugh, on the ground
it conf1icted with the act itself.
In letter to the Civil Service Com
mission, which has appealed this deci-
sion. Justice Graham questions If the
pay of an employe who has been put on
a years administrative furlough may be
subject to an 8.3 per cent deduction for
the 24-day legislative furlough. explain
ing that, under the law. the legislative
furlough is to be applied to officers and
employees receiving compensation" and
adding that worker on a years ad-
ministrative furlough is not receiving
compensation.
Other Changes Feared.
The Judge pointed out four employees
of the court had been given year. s ad-
miniStrative furlough in order to avert
dismissals. and at the same time keep
within appropriations. II, however, the
McCarl ruling IS maintained, and 8.3
per cent of the savings that ordinarily
would be effected must be impounded as
legislative furlough, it will be necessary
to revise salary schedules in the court
and impose additional payless leave, ne
points out.
The commission forwarded the letter
to Controller General McCarl without
comment.
The answer of the controller general
TO the commissions appeal, which was
directed also at his decision that i've
day-week workers must give up one
eleventh instead of one-twelfth OF
their pay, is expected in the next cou-
pie of days, particularly since Govern
ment establishments must start prepar-
ing their semi-monthly pay rolls by the
end of this week, and are looking to
McCarl for guidance.
Will Poll Employees.
In the event ne maintains his stand
the Civil Service Commission, which Is
one of the agencies where the flve-day
week is being used to absorb the legls-
lative furlough, will poll its employees
to see If they wish to continue on this
schedule, even though it will mean an
added loss in dollars and cents above
that sustained by those workers where
the furlough is otherwise applied.
1t has been figured by E. Claude
Babcock secretary of the commission,
that the difference between the one
eleventh and one-twelfth pay deduc-
tionS will range from GO cents per
month for those persons drawing $1,000
annually, to $3.50 monthly for those in
the SO, 500 class. However, it is pointed
out, they would get the advantage of
two extra days, as the 24-day legisla-
tive furlough would be used up in 48
weeks.

Only during the roll call did the
hilarity subside. But Speaker Garner

order even then.
The boys had done their worrying
beforehand and seemed determined to
do their voting under as pleasant cir
cumstances as possible. The dry bloc

The wet bloc would do the same thing
when they saw brother who had
voted against them before come into
their camp.
Just what it all means, now that the
vote has been taken, no one seems 10

hopes that victory would be theirs. Ac-
tually their leaders were surprised that
they mustered the strength they did.
