EXPRESSED DEEP CONCERN.
Patman Disavowed Responsibility for
Veterans Invasion.

When the bonus army gatherd in
Washington. Representative Patman
promptly disavoWed any responsibility
for their coming, expressed deep con-
Germ over the situation, and said he
realized that it must be handled in
the right way. In an interview printed
in The Star, June 4, Mr.. Patman SAID
"I have no part in the coming OF this
bonus army to the National Capital and
I will not give any encouragement TO
others Joining this force However, l
am not going to treat them dlscourte-
o,Isly because they are here. Men who
spilled their blood on foreign soil and
who bear the scars of wounds received
in their country's cause must not be
allowed to starve on the Capitol steps.
They must be fed"
On July IS. the day before Congress
adjourned. speaking in the House, Pat
man pleaded that the bonus army should
return home-thoSe who were able 10
do so. and that those who had no other
homes should not be evicted from their
shacks ON Government land.
Opposed Eviction Plan.
He said. Il understand it is rumored
that the President, as soon as this Con-
gress adiourns, is going to order these

but that is not the question involved
in this case I hope those veterans
who are interested in this legislation,
when Congress adjourns, can see their
wav clear and it is convenient for them
tn return to their homes. Let them as
citizens take interest in good govern
ment. I believe they can promote the
interest of the people better IN tnat

NOT have a home, who settled on Gov

that they have on earth. There Is no

Il hope that extreme means VIII hoV
be used or pressure used to put them
off Government property, II the prop
erty is not needed for any governmental
purpose. If it is needed, OF course, there
Is no excuse for occupying the prop
erty. I say that these men have con-
ducted themselves in commendaole

Tas they have in the past. If they do, they
will have the sympathy Of the Ameri-
can people, but if they lose that poisee
and lose their heads and get mad at
every one who opposes them, they are are
not going to have the sympathy OF the the
American people feel they have the
right side, the side of justice and logic
and reason. Therefore, there is no rea-
son for them to get angry with any one,
but they should try to persuade people
who are against them in the right man

FURLOUGH ACT
Be KILLED
Three Groups Also Petition
Economy Committee for
Old Salaries

Representatives of Federal en-
ployes' organizations today ap-
pealed to the Senate Economy
Committee to repeal the economy
act or to remedy injustices in
its administration.
At a public hearing of the COM
mittee representatives from sew
eral postal employees organiza-
tionS, the National Federation of
Federal Employees and the Dis
trict police force made pleas for
restoration of former salary
schedules.
Ask FurIOugh Repeal
An almost universal demand
was made for abolition of the
furlough system, or the straight
eight and one-third per cent cut.
Senator Kenneth D. McKellar
CD of Tennessee, by his ques-
tioning of witnesses indicated he
believed it might be necessary
to substitute a straight salary
cut throughout the entire Govern
ment machinery.
Members of the committee in.
dicated they would take steps to
remedy certain injustices particu-
larly in the Postoffice Depart
ment where, it is said, substitute
workers receiving less than $1,000
year, the exception fixed by the
economy act, were forced to take
salary cuts because of the ruling
that their salaries were considered
on their potential earning power
and not on actual wages received.
Police LabOrs Cited
The Metropolitan Police force
was represented by Capt. Milton
D. Smith and William H. Nc
Grath, president of the Police
mems Association. They pointed
out that their wages were princi-
pally paid by District taxpayers.
The policemen also reminded
the committee that in the last
year District policemen worked
more than $4,000 hours overtime
handling unusual and emergency
situations, for which they were
not paid but had been. reduced
8 1-3 per cent.
Postal employees representa-
tives, given the better part of the
morning session to testify, advo-
Gated the abolition of air mail and
ship subsidies and other econo-
mics in the department to reduce
the deficit instead of salaries.
Luther Steward, president OF
the National Federation of Fed
eral Employees, recommended dis
continuance of the furlough and
other forms of salary reductions.
He also cited cases of alleged in
justices in the economy act and
declared that unless the married
person clause was repealed it
would sooner or later eliminate
marriages among public employees.
McKeIIar Hostile
Although the three members of
the committee admitted that Fed
eral employees suffered by the
reduction, Senator McKellar and
Senator L. j. Dickinson reiterated
the argument that persons
Throughout the country had suf-
fered greater losses by the de-
preston than persons in govern
ment service. They said they
were receiving letters daily de-
manding that Federal employees
compensation be cut and that
with the growing deficit in the
Treasury they could see no way
to avoid continuation of the
economy act.
Senator Hiram Bingham (RD
of Connecticut, chairman of. the
committee, said that the public
hearings would resume Monday
at 10 a. m.
