new LEAK QUIZ

BY GEORGE z. DURNo
A new white House leak in

A new white House leak in
vestigation" is in progress. At
least two Of President Hoover's
triumvirate of secretaries were
engaged today in attempting to
run down the source Of a seem
ingly routine story about Execu-
tive Office affairs.
The green carpets were being
worn threadbare as employe after
@rnploye was called to task in an
effort to ascertain what each
might know about this new "loop-
hole" In the closely-meshed screen
the Hoover aides have woven
about their "chief."
Richey Heads Probe
Lawrence Richey, principal sec.
retary to the President, and re-
putedly closest man in the
world" to Mr.. Hoover, was leading
the determined last-minute in
uuiry into loyalty.
Theodore G. JoSlin, secretary in
charge of press relations, was aid
Ang, in the highly quiet investiga-
&ion.
The. offending story-carried
anto virtually every newspaper in
the United States-had to do
merely with the fact that all en-
ployeS on the Executive Office
payroll must suffer a three-and-a-
halliday furlough each month for
the remainder Of the fiscal year,
In addition to their 8.3 per cent
pay cut, because Congress had
Topped some $1,000 or more from
the bedrock of the White House
appropriation bill.
Only 20 Employees
There are only 20 persons on
the payroll Of the Executive Of
fees. These include the three sec
retaries, the literary assistant, and
all that group Of executive clerks,
stenographers, file clerks and mes
sengerS who have made UP the
White House personnel for years.
In addition-but still included
In the payroll of 29-are four
or five stenographers who were
brought into the White House
personally by the President and
his secretaries.
The remaining employees at the
Executive Office are borrowed"
from other departments and draw
their pay out Of the departmental
appropriation from which they
first were hired. These employees
are not affected by the additional
payless holiday.
Publication yesterday that an
extra furlongh had been ordered
at the White House created a
furore underneath the usual
serenity that envelopes the upper
end Of Pennsylvania Avenue.
