Declares Beer and Sales
Charges Would Make
Reduction Unneeded.
SENATOR 0DDIE PLEDGES
FIGHT AGAINST SLASH
Bingham Sees Virtue in Furlough
in Providing Jobs for Many
Unemployed.

Declaring that the cutting of Fed
eral salaries will have tendency to
encourage continuation of the depres-
sion. Senator Oddie, Republican, of
Nevada, made known today that he
will continue to oppose Government pay
reductions. Senator Oddie is chairman
of the Committee on Post OflceS and
Post Roads and handles the Treasury
Post Office appropriation bill in the
Senate. Into this bill will be embodied
the policy on pay reductions that VIII
apply to other measures.
It was during the consideration OF
that appropriation bill at the last ses-
sion of Congress that he led the fight
against the program on which the Sen
ate originally embarked of making a
fiat 10 per cent reduction in the total
of each appropriation bill coming over
from the House.
Senator Oddie said today he is still
opposed to salary cuts because he be-
lieves 'it strikes at the foundation of
the structure" and would tend to pro-
long the present situation.
Says Beer Tax Would Balk Cut.
'T am against any economy that re-
quires the cutting of salaries OF the en-
"Such action is an immediate invitation
and excuse for factories and the en-
ployers of labor throughout the country
to follow suit. If this is done, it ham,
pers and impedes the return Of pros
perity. Every one knows, and none
better than the business leaders, that
with the decrease in purchasing power
through reduction Of salaries all busi-
ness suffers and the return to good
times is further delayed.
II expect to vote against every at
tempt to cut Government salaries"
Representative Fred A. Britten. Re-
publican, Illinois, said today that the
Presidents recommendation for further
salary cutting did not take into consid-
Grafton the prospective revenues from a
beer tax and sales tax, which would
amount to over 100000 the first
year.
IF the present Congress proceeds
with its undertaking to put tax on
beer. which will provide 100000, 900
per annum in revenue" Britten said, 'it
ther reduce the salaries of Government
employees. This and sales tax would
produce 100000 600.
Government salaries should only be
cut as very last resort to save the
Federal Treasury from bankruptcy.
This is no time to cut salaries

MACHINE TESTED FOR PUTTING
VITAMIN D IN MILK CFIEAPLY
University of Wisconsin Develops Steenbock Process
Commercially Feasible Cost.

Is shot down the inner walls of the
drum in the glare of the lamps, which
impart the vitamin. The milk Is COL
lected by pipe at the base Of the
cylinder and conducted away for
bottling.
Each quart of irradiated milk, Dr.
Russell said, is equivalent in anti
rachitic value to a teaspoonful of cod
liver oil. The flavor of the milk is not
altered by the process.
Previous to the perfection of the
"irradiator," as the machine is called,
efforts to impart vitamin D to milk had
taken the form of feeding cattle with
irradiated yeast. This plan was Suc-
cessful in increasing the ricket- prevent
ing quality of the milk, but the animals
absorbed SO large part of the anti
rachitic element that general use of the
milk was prohibited by the cost.
Prof. Harry Steenbock of the uni
versity's agricultural school developed
the process of irradiation. Several foods
in addition to milk are now being pre-
pared with vitamins through the use of
the Steenbock process. Rights to the
Steenbock process are controlled by the
research foundation.

PREFERENCE WITHHELD

LONDON, December 8 (P).-Custom
officials continued today to withhold
granting a 6-cents-a-bushel preference
on Canadian wheat shipped here on
the steamer Laconia via the United
States, although the wheat was con-
signed direct to Great Britain
The Laconia, out of New York, docked
at Liverpool Monday.
Negotiations are continuing in an ef-
fort to determine whether or not the
shipment is entitled to the preference.
The customs officials have withheld
granting a preference on the ground
that evidence furnished at present fails
to fulfill the conditions laid down by
the government in allowing the exemp-
ton on Empire wheat.
The wheat was shipped in bond by
the International Export Association
from Fort william, Ontario. to ascer-
tain whether this type of shipment will
be entitled to the preference.

GENEVA, December 8.-The jap
anese nation, united as one man, is
prepared to confront the most severe
penalties provided in the League of Ma
tions covenant in defense OF its policy
in Manchuria, Yosuke Matsuoka told
the League assembly this evening.
THE whole nation is solidly behind
the military leaders, who have acted as
they should" he declared.
There are sixty-five million of them.
Do you think all of them have gone
mad?"
Consequences Threatened.
So long as the league holds out to
China the hope that outsiders will come
to her assistance, there never can be
peace in the Far East, he said.
Matsuoka threatened unforeseen con-
sequences" if the Assembly of the
League adopted a proposed resolution
condemning Japan's policy.
Matsuoka demanded that the authors
of the resolution withdraw 1t or that
the Assembly vote on it Immediately.
Some observers present recalled that
authoritative sources in Toxic said
Japan may be forced to withdraw from
the League if her Manchur.an policy
was endangered.
Resolution Held Hostile.
Matsuoka said the Assembly's pur-
pose should be to seek a conciliatory
settlement and that the resolution, sub
mitted by Spain, the Irish Free State.
Sweden and Czechoslovakia, would be
hostile to this purpose.
IF it is adopted it will have conse-
quences unforeseen by the authors" he
said
Paul Hymans of Belgium, president
of the special assembly meeting con-
sidering the Manchurian issue, said the
japanese counsel's demand, which was
point of order, would be discussed at
the afternoon session.
