SALARY UP
IN BUREAUS

The long-delayed action on
salary cuts and furlQughs by
Congress played havoc with pay.
rolls in some Government offices
today, particularly in the Bureaus
of the Census and Foreign and
Domestic Commerce of the Com
merce Department.
Commerce, Labor, State, War,
and Navy appropriation bills had
been delayed in Congress. the
War supply bill being signed only
yesterday.
Since bureau payroll requisi-
tions must go in 10 or II days
before pay day, and since some
bureaus had no idea whether sal
ary reductions would be 8.3 per
cent, or 10 per cent, or other
wise, some of them took no
chances and made each pay check
from 10 to IS per cent under
what it should have been, even
with the 8.3 per cent cut de-
Quoted.
Hence, some Federal employees,
who had expected an 8.3 per cent
slash, found their checks cut al
most twice that much. Any short
age in today's pay will be made
up next payday, it was assured.

SCHOOL FORCES

While all other departments of

their pay checks today, employees

the school system was unable to
forward its payroll until veStar

HOME LOAN BILL
AND RELIEF
REMAIN
Failure to Reconsider Appro-
priation Cuts DoomS
Jobs of Many

It's members weary to the
point of exhaustion and pathet-
ically anxious to go home,
Congress today moved toward
a sine die adjournment with
two obstacles in it's path.
These were the mammoth gen.
eral relief bill and the home
loan bank bill, both held up by
disputes between the Senate and
House.
End Likely Tonight
Senator McNary of Oregon, the
assistant Republican leader, de-
clared: There is a prospect we
may adjourn finally tonight.
certainly not later than tomor-
row night.
All hope for a readjustment Of
provisions of appropriations bills
for the Interior, State, Justice,
Commerce and Labor departments
was diSpelled today as Congress
prepared to go home, and en-
ployes of these departments faced
wholesale dismissal.
Subjected to the McKellar slash
which reduced all appropriations
10 per cent under the House sup
ply bills that already had beer
carefully pruned to the bone, the
appropriation measures have been
so cut as to necessitate wide
spread discharges of employees.
Senator Royal S. Copeland (D0
of New York, who recently intro
duced a resolution to offset the
McKellar plan. which was applied
only to the supply bills of the
five departments, has been ad-
vised that a repeal of that plan
must come from the House where
all appropriation legislation Of
that character should originate.
House Refuses to Listen
The House, with its Democratic
majority, has refused to listen to
appeals for the five departments.
No other appropriation bills
were slashed in the drastic man
ner and many members hoped
to bring about an equitable ad-
justment by restoring the supply
measures to the status of other
bills not subjected to the Nickel
lar cut.
But the urge to shut down the
congressional machinery and to
launch upon political campaigns
precludes hope for readjustment.
LaGuardia Sees No Hope
Representative Fiorello La
Guardia (RD of New York, who
has blocked many efforts this
session to wreck Government de-
partments by unwise legislation,
today said there was practically
no hope for employees of the five
departments and no readjustment
could he secured.

Hoover Fires
|Furlough Rule

President Hoover today in.
structed departmental heads in
the various branches of the Gov,
ernment service to furlough EN-
ployes for indefinite periods when
their appropriations for definite
activities was not sufficient to
cover the cost of carrying on.
The order reads:
"Where an appropriation for
a given activity, after deduct
ing the amount to be i'm.
pounded for compulsory fur
lough, is insufficient to an ex-
tent which ordinarily would re-
uire the dismissal of employees,
the head of the department or
Establishment concerned will,
in lieu of such disT:oiSsalS, fur
Tough employees, without pay, for
suct periods as are necessary to
avoid a deficit in the apprOpria-
ton and without discharging
employees who are qualified to
perform the class of work which
is to be continued"
"The higher Salaried en-
pIOyes are to be furlOVghed
first whenever possible without
injury to the service. Subject
to this condition, the total pc
riOd of furIOugh under the pro-
visions of this section will, so
far as practicable and with due
regard to the efficiency of the
service, be uniformly distributed
among the employees. This,
however, will not be construed
as requiring the transfer of en-
pIOyes from one post of duty to
another for the sole purpose Of
shortening the period Of fur
Tough of such employees.

tectiveS, according to a complaint
by Walter Parsons, chief of the

ice, to Wade B. CoombS, District
superintendent of licenses.
It is against police regulations
for a policeman to engage in pri-
vate detective work. District Off

all unauthorized detective agencies

requires a recommendation by the
police superintendent and pay

IDENTIFIED

A body found floating in the

When the body was first dis
covered it was believed to be that
of William Coring, of Monroe,
La, a bonus marcher, whose
name was found on a card in
the pocket. Coring, however, was
located with the bonus veterans
and a further check was made.
Kemp, who has served three

no known address, and the Vet

many people and too little work. A
clever man, hundred years ago,
would have forseen this and would
have arranged, if he had been dictator,
to put an end to inventions while
population was rising and to put an
end to population when inventiveness
was at its highest point. We have,
although DR.. Osborn does not put it
this way, been riding two horses going

FATE
PUT IN DOUBT
BY DEBATE
Resolution Still Before Senate
But Adjournment Proves
Threat to Passage

Shunted about late yester-
day by conference reports and
other privileged matters the
street car merger resolution
was still unfinished business
in the Senate today.
The fate of the long-pending
authorization to merge the trac-
ton lines of the Capital appeared
today to depend upon final de-
cision on the date Congress is to
adjourn. All yesterday afternoon
Senator Austin (R0, Vermont,
who has charge of the favorable
Senate committee report. waited
patiently for the opposition de-
bate to exhaust itself.
Norris Hits Trusts
But Senator George w. Norris
(RO, Nebraska, held the Senate
for several hours with an arraign.
ment of the ramification Of the
power trust" and holding COM
panies," which he said extended
even to the Capital City of a ma,
ton overridden by the giant cor
porations. At least once or twice
each session Senator Norris in
Weighs against the power trust"
and he was in good oratorical
form yesterday.
Senator John j. Blaine CR)
Wisconsin, another opponent of
the street car merger here, sat
close by and awaited opportunity
to get into the oratorical fray.
Senator Austin remained silent
and when he gets an opportunity
will close in defense of the COM
mittee report. He is confident
he has the votes to put through
the resolution, already approved
by the House.
Insist On Discussion
However, the opposition does
not admit there is any filibuSter
on against the merger plan. 1t
insists there should be thorough
discussion" though Austin and
other advocates of the merger
plan, which has been before Con-
gress for several years, hope it
will soon talk itself out-unless
sudden adjournment plays into
the hands of the assailants of
the resolution.

FEW j. s. CHIEFS
PLAN To HAVE
5-DAY WEEK
Many Conferences Are Held,
With Decisions Slow
To Be Announced

Very few Government de-
partments are going on a five
day week basis, now that
President Hoover has left the
matter up to each department
head without definitely order
ing such plan, according to
administrative officers of the
various departments today.
Pending formal notification
from the White House that the
President had approved lin prin-
ciple" the five-day plan as recon-.
mended by the Council of Per
sonnel Administration. only a
bare half dozen Department ex-
ecutives we're able to make final
statements one way or the other.
Follow HoOver's Lead
However, it appeared as the
day wore on and departmental
conferences on the matter were
being held, that most executives
would follow the Presidents lead
and refuse to take personal re-
sponsibility for putting employees
on a five-day basis. thus removing
their option Oh when to take off
their necessary months leave
during the fiscal year.
Since the Presidents approval
of the general idea was not eX-
pected to reach department eX-
ecutiveS at once, perhaps not
until Monday, no plans were re-
vealed in any departments for a
full holiday tomorrow, and work
will apparently go on in all as
usual.
The attitude of all the depart
mental executives, in comment
ing on the suggestion of shorter
week, was that service would be
curtailed. The President and
the council have both made clear
that the five-day week should be
app d only in such offices and
instances where Cd service would
not be impaired, CD hardships
on workers would not be added,
and CD costs would not be in.

a short week would violate the
first two of these injunctlons.

week, Governor Campbell said TO-

and are working the matter

The General Accounting Office,
whose Comptroller General inter-
prets legislation pertaining to fur
loughs and salary cuts, will posi-
lively not go on a five-day week,
an executive assistant to General
McCarl said tooaY.
The Department of La Dor,
headed by William N. Doak, both
long advocates of a shorter week,
