Miss Ann Hagner, Mrs. Edna

Vollten and Dan Gill, representing
approximately one-eighth of the
Herman Club of America, Inc,
with headquarters at Rockville,
Md. and branch clubs in Berkeley
Springs, w. Va, and Washing
ton, visited the Fox to initiate
Col. Stoopnagle and Budd into
the mysteries of the Grand Order
of Hermans.
Besides obtaining the member.
ships of the patron saints, the
Hermans administered the oath
of allegiance to Budd's wife, Mrs
Wanda Hulick.
Approaching the honor given
them, the Colonel and Budd
started their stage program with
a Good evening, fellow members
of the Herman Club"
Locating the club members by
the applause, the clowns further
catered to their fellow members
by telling the audience that their
football broadcast was coming
direct from Rockville. And again
showed their courtesy by bowing
and waving in the direction of
the club.
Their admiration further in,
creased, one Herman again went
back stage, and talked to the
colonel. He learned that the
real comedians of the air had no
special thought or motive IN
selecting the name of Colonel
Lemuel Q. Snoopnagle other than
choosing som e t hing which
sounded funny and which every,
one could twist around. Louis
Dean, their announcer. liked
their choice, so they retained it,
The stock market was not really
responsible for bringing them to
the fore, despite the publicity
handouts. When they met, Budd
was an announcer in a Buffalo
radio station and the colonel was
in the production department.
They say they have a lot of fun
with their stage chatter as they
are rehashing their favorite imi'
tations and go impromptu for no
reason at all. While here they
broadcast also over the Dixie net
work, which doesn't include
washington. and which is about
three weeks behind the local pro
grams. And don't think they are
rA)t proud to be "HermanS."

j. s. DISABILITY PAY
NOT TO Be REDUCED
McCarI Ruling Exempts En-
pIoyes Injured in Line of
Duty From Economy.

Disability compensation granted to
Government employees who are injured in
line of duty is not subject to deductions
of the economy. act, Controller General
McCarl yesterday informed the United
States Employees Compensation Com
mission.
The commission had presented to
McCarl number Of questions concern
ing the possible application of the
economy act to disability allowances,
contending that it was their opinion
that the deductions should not be made.
McCarl, in his answer, declared that
these disability compensations should be
paid in full. Such compensatin, it was
explained, is based on 662a per cent of
the Government workers monthly pay.
This is subject to the maximum limita-
ton of $116.66 and the minimum
limitation of S58.33 per month, unless
the monthly pay is less than the latter
figure. In this case the disability COM
pensation Is the full amount Of the
monthly pay.
Concerning the three-day interval of
absence from duty before an employe
may De placeO on the QlSaDluty COM
pensation roll, McCarl said the COM
mission may leave entirely to the ad-
ministrative Office the matter of legisla-
tive furlough during the three waiting
days after all sick leave with pay has
been exhausted. E. There would seem
to be no action by the commission
required or authorized during the period
of legislative furlough prior to the time
the employe is separated from the active
roll and placed ON the disability COM
pensation roll, other than the necessity to
wait three days after sick leave has
ceased. If the employe has had ois-
ability compensation withheld for the
three waiting days, the commission need
not concern itself with the question
whether said three waiting days are to
be regarded as legislative furlough, leave
without pay, or otherwise"

IMPORTANCE OF eTIPS'' STRESSED
WOODCOCK IN ROBINS SEARCH
Director of Prohibition Bureau Declares Agents Must
Show Patience and Thoroughness.

Proof that tips, although barren in
many instances, must be run down to
assure successful ends to inquiries, was
read yesterday by Director Woodcock
Of the Prohibition Bureau into the find
ing last week of Col. Raymond Robins,
widely known prohibition champion.
Included in his remarks In the weekly
bulletin of the bureau, Director Wood
cock coupled an expression OF appre-
ciaticn frcm MRS. Robins with little
lecture to agents, saying:
Investigation, after all, is matter
of patience, thoroughness and perse-
'verance."
He set forth that the quest for Col.
Robins, who disappeared September 8,
while presumably on his way to see
President Hoover, and was found IN
North Carolina only last week after
q Nationwide search by Federal agents,
brought the theory from Robins fam
ly that he had been the victim Of

bootleggers, and many other theories
and clues. adding:
Special agents ran down every pos
dble clue. Like many other in
vestigations, final success resulted from
q 'tip,' but this does not mean that the
special agents (of the bureau) are not
entitled to full credit for their careful
search of barren tips"
He explained how Carl Fisher wrote
from Whittier, n. c., that Robins might
be there and outlined the action of
Deputy Administrator Kanipe, at Ashe-
vile, who located and succeeded in
having identified Col. Robins"
The telegram from Mrs. Robins was
attached to Woodcock's comment and
said:
There are no words with which to
thank you for your share In finding
Col. Robins and wish to add that
the men in your department have
shown greatest intelligence. integrity
and kindness"
