PAY CUT DEADLOCK
IS HELD HOPELESS
ConfereeS End Session With
Pessimistic Outlook, but
Will Meet Again.

House and Senate conferees on the
economy bill broke up again today with
out an agreement, and one of the con-
terence members said they were hope
lessly deadlocked"
Another meeting was called for early
this afternoon to try to reach an agree
ment on the controversy over President
Hoover's furlough plan, which the House
conferees are opposing in favor Of
straight pay cuts for Government en-
ployes.
Most Of the conferees were pessimistic
over the chances Of obtaining an agree
ment, however. and forecast the bill
would have to be sent back to the
House and Senate for further instruc-
tions.
The pay cut issue is reported to be
the only remaining obstacle in the path
of a settlement of the controversial
questions. Neither the Senate nor the
House has yet been willing to recede
from their position on this issue.
May Make Concessions.
1t is known, however, that the con-
ferees are anxious to complete their
work on the economy bill, and some
in an effort to reach an agreement. The
way already has been paved for a COM
promise by Senate and House parlia-
mentarians, who have advised the op-
posing factions just how far they may
go within the limits Of the House and
Senate bills, and what alternatives are
left.
AS result Of the parliamentary ad-
vice. Senator Jones Of Washington.
chairman of the Senate conferees,
abandoned his plan to go before the
Senate and ask to be relieved of a
pleoge to support the furlough plan in
conference. An advocate of pay cuts,
Senator Jones, however, has stead
fastly held out in conference for the
furlough. simply because of his pledge.
Since the conferees were reported to
stand to on the pay-reduction is
sue, Senator Jones could easily break
the tie by casting his ballot for the
House plan.
Other Scheme Secret.
The conferees, however, obviously
have some other scheme in contempla-
ton in the hope of ending the dead
lock. But what it is, not one Of them
would even intimate.
The Conference Committee held nc
meeting yesterday, although there were
a series of informal discussions between
the members. The session Wednesday
was adjourned subject to the call oi
Senator Jones and it was late yester-
day when he sent word to the con-
ferees to gather again this morning al
1G O'Clock and make one last attempt
to break down the impasse.

A meeting with the cabinet, receipt
of congratulations, and posing for the
cameras were the order Of the day for
President Hoover and his running mate,

1t was a depleted cabinet the Presi-
dent faced, but there was no falling
off in the ranks of the cameramen who
blithely ordered the Chief Executive

he emerged.

Secretary" Lamont said.
"It was just about 99.9 perfect Job"
added Wilbur, who took part in the
convention also. but not as a delegate.
The President met smiling Vice Presi-
dent Curtis with a hearty handshake
in the hall outside his private office.
Chatting volubly in low tones, they
walked side by side to the south lawn
of the White House, where they faced
a veritable barrage of clicking cameras.
Placing themselves almost entirely IN
the hands of camera men, they walked
from one spot to another and posed
together while motion picture men re-
corded the event at length.
Elk Hound in Pictures.
The Chief Executives Norwegian elk

and Mr.. Hoover obliged by having him
sit up on his launches. At other times
he held him in various positions, while
the veteran Vice President contributed

Afterward Mr.. Hoover and Curtis
posed for an unusual picture, moving
willingly to stand in the midst OF nearly
a score of camera men, while one OF
their colleagues took the picture.
All this occurred just before the start
of the regular cabinet meeting. Ihat
