This was learned today as word still
was awaited from President Hoover as
to what he would do with the recon-

a vacation without pay"

will be granted his furlough as re-
quested.

trcller General McCarl. The Control
Ter held that furloughS must be earned
or paid for out of the next succeeding
pay day, at the rate of IA days pay
for each days absence.

w. N. Fulcher, night watchman at
Reynolda, contradicted other witnesses
regarding the time Of Mrs. Reynolds
