WASHINGTON, April 25-.
Though ruthless economy is about
to be decreed for the government
departments, congress has not yet
undertaken to set an example it
self.
Not only are senators and con-
gressmen keeping wives, daughters,
sons and other relatives on the
payroll, as described by the United
Press last week, they are also man.
aging to continue to live in the
style to which they have been &C
cuStomed.
They have completely escaped
the ravages Of depression which
has even stripped millionaires of
their yachts and caused such men
as Charles Schwab and Percy Rock
efeller to hint as publicly as posi-
BILE that they may spend their de-
clining days in the poorhouse.
In the senate barbershop, for in
stances, senators can still get free
service, haircuts, shampoos, shaves
and messages. Dozens of BARRIERS,
maintained on the senate payroll
as skilled laborers," attend to the
tonsorial requirements of the SEN
atorS.

APPEARS TO BE RADICAL ONE

furnished at government expense
of course.
When congress ended last year
and a number of Democrats re-
placed Republican senator's, the
senate barber shop bought 18 more
mugs at $1.50 each. They are
splendid mugs, with the names of
the senators in gold letters. A
mistake was made and one name
was changed, for which a bill of rs
cents was turned in, certified, and
paid out of the contingent fund of
the senate.
The senate shop is complete to
the last detail. Was not the dis
bursting officer of the senate billed
for three blackhead removers at
Is cents each not so long ago?
Careful of Drinks
Washington city water is as pure
as any in the country. 1t is used
constantly in automobile batteries
But the senatorial stomach prefers
more expensive bottled waters. Sc
the government pays between $500
and $1,000 a month to supply SEN
ators with fancy drinking water.
For six months last year, the SEN
ate spent $637.50 on 81 cases Of
Appolinaris water alone, though it
was in session only one month of
that time.
Here is typical months order
for bottled water: 20 cases White
Rock, 81 cases Mountain Valley
water, 10 cases Capon Spring water,
10 cases Kalak water Senatorial
tastes vary and a senator is as
particular about his water as
Frenchman about his wines.
Further, among the bills paid out
by the senate disburSing officer is
one to Acme Plating and Man
ufacturing company for nickel
plating five bottle openers for
cloak rooms at so cents each, total
$3.50. 1t would be lowering the
senatorial standard of living to per-
nit a senator to have his White
Rock opened with an opener from
which the nickel plating had worn
off.
Senators all use blotters when
signing letters at their desks in the
senate chamber. But each Sena-
tors desk is equipped with a little
box containing fine sand used
years ago for blotting. So last
year the senate spent $41.33 plus
freight to have a consignment of
the little glass boxes shipped from
the factory.
In 1880 the senate ushered in the
Christmas season by ordering on
December 16 from the Lake Erie
Chemical company, two gas riot
pistols at $50 each and two dozen
gas riot pistol shells at $40 dozen,
presumably to be used on any
groups of the unemployed who be-
came too persistent in their appeals
for help from congress.

Morris Lavine and Leontine John
son, convicted in Los Angeles, on
charges of attempted extortion,
were today denied supreme court
reviews of their trial.
The pair were charged in an in

them only for attempted extor-
ton"
Lavine was sentenced to serve a
year in prison and to pay a $4,000
fine and Miss Johnson was SEN

The lower court proceedings were
attacked on the grounds that the
defendants had been placed in

rights we're otherwise invaded
They were alleged to have sought
to obtain the supposed eXtortion
money by threats to make known

GERMAN FASCIST
PARTY GAINS IN
DIET ELECTIONS
BY FREDERICK KUH

Dy nun
United Press Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, April 25.-The growth
of Fascism in Germany, checked
recently by reelection of President
Paul VonHindenburg over Adolph
Hitler, carried Hitler and his mill
tant supporters today close to con-
troll of the Prussian diet.
Hitler's Nazis increased their
strength from nine seats won in
the 1928 election to 162 of a total
of 418. With gains made by
Fascist allies, right wing parties
held approximately 200 votes, or
only 10 short of an absolute ma
jority. Communists, however, most
bitter foes of the Nazis, held the
balance of power.
The Nazis became the strongest
single party in the diet, while the
Social Democratic party of Pre-
mier Otto Braun lost Al seats for
total of SO. Unless Braun receives
the 81 Communist votes in the new
diet his government will be ousted
Other members of the govern
ment coalition, the Catholic Center
party and the Constitutional party
won 81 and two seats, respectively
for a total of 1852.
FasciSts also made sensational,
gains in the Wuerttemberg, Ba-
varia, Anhalt and Hamburg cleo
tions.
Among the new Niaz deputies
elected to the Prussian diet was
Ex-Prince August Wilhelm, As,
fourth son of the former kaiser
and widely nicknamed "Auwi."

On this basis, he said, bonuses to
