CONGRESSMEN FIRM IN KEEPING
RELATIVES ON I. S. PAYROLL

opponents published it. ManloYe
told the United Press. There is
practically nobody in my district,
however, who does not understand
the situation.
Mrs. Manloye is a highly edu-
Gated woman and has always helped

and there have been times when it
was necessary for me to use from
three to seven or eight clerks.
will spend the equivalent of Mrs
Manlove's salary on the average on
extra clerks. In some years I
spend more
Representative Manloye said he
had three regular employees in his
office now besides his wife and was
obliged to have two or three others
to work at night occasionally.
Asked what required so much Of
flee work when many congressman
manage to exist with one or two
clerks ON active duty, Manloye said
he encouraged correspondence with
his district.
Many members continue the en-
ployment of wives, children, in
laws, or political workers despite
state laws against nepotism. A
congressman is regarded as a fed
eral officer SO that legally he is
under no compulsion to observe
state laws in this respect.
For instance, Utah enacted law
a year ago against employment of
relatives by state officers. Yet
three OF the four members of the
Utah delegation continue to employ
relatives on the congressional pay
roll. Senator Reed Smoot, who
formerly had at least two members
of his family on the payroll, claims
to have none now.
One reason advanced by those
who insist on employing relatives is
that unquestioned loyalty is essen
tial III a congressman's office. He
must let his secretary handle much
of the correspondence with his dis
trict.
The story is told of a disloyal
secretary who trapped a southern
by writing a letter
which the congressman signed with
out reading. The letter was sent
to a Negro of the district inviting
him to visit the representative
home and have dinner on his next
trip to Washington. Publication of
this letter resulted in defeat of the
in the next election.

Fox Transfers
Local Manager

Jack D. Howard for the past six
weeks manager of Fox Imperial
theatre, was notified last night of
his transfer to the Fox West Coast
theatre at Long Beach and plan
ned to leave today with his family
for that city.
During his stay here Howard
made many friends and expressed
regret that his transfer came just

better acquainted.
My short stay here has been a
happy one, he stated today, land
I feel deeply obligated to many Ell

Lodging Seeker
Lands In Jail

Luther Harvey, SO, was bent on
finding home, at least for the
night, but instead of finding that
home and bed in the West district,
where he wished to locate last
night, he finally took his nights
rest at the county Jail, after being
arrested by George Evans for in
vestigation.
Complaints to the sheriff's office
were that Harvey had been bother
ing ranchers in the West district
all day, and last night went to
one rancher living a mile and a
half north and a mile and half
east of the West store. The
rancher fed him, then offered to
take him into town.
But Harvey would not go, as
serting his intention of sleeping at
the ranch that night. Further, he
procured several sacks and made
up a bed on the ground in the
rancher's chicken shed. 1t was
then his activities were reported to
the sheriffs office, and his arrest
resulted.

Burglars Overlook
Hidden Currency

One wrong almost righted an
other in Imperial last night, when
thieves who broke into the office of
the Kerckhoff Lumber company
failed to find 5000 in currency be-
cause other burglars two years ago
blew the doors from the company
safe, and the door has not yet been
repaired
Because the safe has not been re-
paired, clerks of the lumber COM
pany do not keep money in the
safe during the night, but secrete
it about the office. Failing to To-
cate any money in the safe, the
burglars ransacked the office, but
missed the hidden currency.
George Wright, Imperial police
chief, was assisted in an investiga-
ton of the burglary by Don Camp
bell, fingerprint expert for the
sheriffS office.

No Chance For
Vote On Bonus

WASHINGTON, May 7. tUPD -
The house ways and means COM
mittee today refused to change its
adverse report on soldiers bonus
legislation today, thus practically
killing all possibility of a vote by
petition in the house before June l3.
Representative Crisp. Dem)
Georgia, who called the special
meeting today at the request of
bonus advocates, said that no men,
Der of the committee majority who
voted yesterday for an adverse re-
port made a motion to reconsider.
As under the rules of the commit
tee. reconsideration is only possible
through such a motion. the COM
mittee's action of yesterday must
stand.
Bonus advocates had hoped that
the committee would table the ST.
000.000.000 Patman bonus bill in
stead of adversely reporting it. Had
it been tabled bonus leaders be-
lieyed they would have been able
to obtain the signatures of las
of the house so that the
bill would be voted on by May %.

Asks for Unity
What is urgently required is
immediate action upon and con-
clusion of these questions. This is
a serious hour which demands that
all elements of the government and
the people rise with stern courage
above partisanship to meet the
needs Of our national life"
The President had looked for at
tacks on him by Democratic men,
bers of congress, and the reaction
there was discounted at the ex-
ecutive mansion as less important
than the reaction of the people
themselves.
Sen. McEllar (Dem) Tennessee,
originator of the senate plan to
cut all appropriation bills to 10
per cent, Immediately replied to
the Presidents second economy
appeal.
My earnest suggestion is that
he plead with the members of his
own cabinet for cooperation and
help in reducing expenses in the
several departments Mcclellan
said. up to now those of us who
have been seeking to balance the
budget have had the most active
and intense opposition of all mem
bers of the cabinet"
Likewise, Democratic Chairman
Byrns of the house appropriations
committee declared:
Il say deliberately that no man
is more responsible for the emas-
culetion of the economy bill than

sentatives button-holed members

ACTION BY HOOVER
ON DEBTS LIMITED
President Is Restricted to
Immediate Question by
Roosevelt's Attitude.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

The limitation put by Gov. Roosevelt
on his willingness to confer with Presi-
dent Hoover about foreign debts must
postpone final arrival at national pol
icy. Under Gov. Roosevelt's limitation,
President Hoover, because he has but
four months in Office, can properly deal
only with what Gov Roosevelt calls the
immediate question" The Immediate
question" is the request of the Euro
pean governments for an extension OF
time on the installments due Decem-
ber IS, -,
This. of course, Mr.. Hoover will be
Obliged to grant, subject to ratiflca-
ton by Congress To do otherwise
would amount to daring the debtors tc
default. The question is how long the
extension shall be. A natural term
would be one year. Inevitably this viii
mean another year during which this
question will be unsettled. Some will
regret that there will not be full CO.
operation between President Hoover and
Gov. Roosevelt and arrival at ma
policy at once.
Must Decide on Plan.
Whatever the length Of the postpone
ment. the end of it will bring upon Gov
Roosevelt, as then President and a.
leader ef his party, the necessity anc
responsibility for decision upon plar
for abiding by it throughout d1fncul'
negotiations with debtor governments
and, above ALL for lining up his party tC
support whatever is agreed upon. Tha1
will be difficult, for it brings to the
Of Io NJ
cIeavageS within the intricate diversity
of leaders and groups that brought
about Mr.. Roosevelt's election. Mr.
Hearst and Senator Hiram Johnson oi
California presumably will not depart
from their shrill insistence that the
United States make 'em pay" to the
last cent.
At the other end of the spectrum Of
Gov. Roosevelt's supporters, the Balti-
more Sun is already demanding "eno
the tragic folly. The thing to do Is
to sweep the ghastly mess out Of doors
once and for all" Between these ex-
tremes, business and financial leaders
who are supporters of Mr.. Roosevelt
will favor reasonable and realistic CON-
promise based on the unacceptable facts
Must Choose Between Factions.
The time Is bound to come when Mr.
Roosevelt must choose between groups
of his supporters. The realistic anc
slightly cynical Frank Kent OF the
Democratic Baltimore Sun fixed sis
mouths as the time by which some oi
Mr.. Roosevelt's supporters would bt
hurting at him grenades of venom with
which during the campaign they del
uged Mr. Hoover.
AS respects the debt question, how
ever, it is mainly with his party follow
ers in Congress that Mr.. Roosevelt vii
be concerned With them he should
have better fortune than with unoficia
extremists such as Mr.. Hearst. Tht
main wish of the Democrats holding
office in Congress and elsewhere is that
Mr.. Roosevelt should have a successful
administration. The main requisite fol
fulfillment of that Is economic recovery
The main requisite for business recov-
cry IS stable arrangement about inter
government debts.

THE present debt situation unques-

commit this country to reduction or
cancellation of war debts.

been repudiated at the polls. He GER
tainly can't expect to go ahead, now
that he has been refused reelection,
