Shortly after the announce

tions, Representative John l..
Cable (R.) Of Ohio, introduced
a pay-cut bill which was esti-

part Of the annual salary for any
office, which is in excess of the
salary paid on January /, 1924;
and two-year cut Of 10 per cent
Of the salary for any office Gre
ated since January l, 1924.
$45,5S7 Would Be Hit
The bill will not reduce the
salary of any employe in the
Federal service receiving less than
$4,000 annually, but would affect
approximately 45,587 Government
officials.
Regarding his bill Cable
pointed out the example set by
the railroad men Of America in
accepting a 10 per cent pay cut.
He advocated starting the re-
ductions in the legislative branch
by cutting salaries of members of
Congress $1,000 a year.
Senate Takes Action
Cables bid came close on the
heels Of Senate action of yester-
day when it struck the pro.
hibitive sections from the Inte.
rior bill following the same pro

Agricultural appropriations meas

The optimism Of Federal EN-.
ployeS at the Senate action was
expected to. be dispelled by the
action of Gable.
One of the House leaders de-
clared that Treasury and Postof-
flee employees by their fight
against pay increase prohibition
had forced the "watchdogs of the
Treasury" to make plans for gen.
eral reductions in all Federal
salaries over the lowest brackets.

The economy question was fur

D. C. Committee Will Decide
Next Tuesday on Final
Action to Be Taken

A meeting of the District
Employment Committee to con-
slider the proposal of asking
Congress for an appropriation
to carry on the committee work
or directly aid the unemployed
was advanced today to Tues
day at II 80 o'clock in the Dis
trict Building board room.
The meeting was originally
called for Wednesday, then de-
layed until Thursday, but was
advanced when members of a
subcommittee appointed to gather
facts bearing on the unemploy-
ment problem were reminded that
a delay might cause criticism.
It was indicated by the sub
committee members that a
further delay in asking for the
appropriation might result from
Tuesdays meeting. The COM
mitteemen intimated that a plan
to obtain further funds from q
private scource was being worked
out by Elwood Street, director Of
the Community Chest.
The members Of the subcom-
mittee are e. H. Daniel, chair
man; Paul L. Benjamin and
Daniel j. Donovan, District
auditor. The subcommittee was
appointed by the steering board
of the full committee after Mr..
Benjamin calle'l attention to the
need for either carrying on the
committees work or giving direct

mended a District appropriation

HOOVER URGED
To SUPERVISE
MERGERS
Ogden Mills Declares Him
Best Fitted to Direct
All Consultations

President Hoover should be
given authority by Congress to
consolidate Government de-
partments without congress
sional interference, Secretary
of the Treasury Mills told the
House Expenditures Commit
tee today.
President Hoover knows more
about the Government depart
mentS than any man living"
Mills said.
Representative Cotton (R),
asked:
Suppose he is not re-
elected. How about the next
PRESIDENT"
Mills replied:
Assuming that he will not
be reelected he knows more
about the departments and
more about Government than
any other man. No one could
do the job (Of cOnSOlidating)
any better"
Advocating creation Of a De-
partment of Public Works an
independent agency of the Gov
ernment, Mills told the commit
tee he was mot so sure the
Architects Office should be lifted
bodily from the Treasury"
Sees Scant Benefit
Mills pointed out that it was
traditional for the Treasury to
have Jurisdiction over all pub
lie building construction and
maintenance. He continued:
81 can see no advantage in
placing the architects office,
an integral unit of the Treas
ury, charged with this work for
80 or 100 years under q de-
partment of public works.
81 think it wise to create a
department of public works
and leave with the President
determination of which activi-
ties should be placed under it.
/ can see no saving in putting
the architects office under it,
however"
FOreSeeS Difficulty
Although the committee was
considering consolidation only as
affecting. public works, Mills was
drawn into general discussion
Of consolidation of Government
activities generally.
He advocated investing the
President with authority to ef-
feet consolidation and eliminate
Implications in governmental &C
tivitieS as he saw fit without
Congress laying down a program.
He added:
Congress will meet with
great resistance. This COM
mittee will have department
and bureau heads come here
and give you every reason why
none Of their activities should
be taken away from them. 1t
will be difficult to get them to
agree to give up anything. You
will therefore find it hard to
decide just what should be
DONE"
