caustic criticism of the fees by
William B. O'Connell, attorney
representing minority bondhold-
ers, who declared such compensa-

Mr.. O'Connell attacked also. a
proposal to pay $4,000 to Dou-
glas. Obear & Douglas, attorneys
for the receivers, on the ground
that this sum, with $4,000 given
the attorneys last spring, was
more than the Government pays

He said the. receivers, who got
$4,000 each last spring, were re-
ceiving more than the combined
salaries of the District Supreme
Court, before which the discussion
arose, and more than the salaries
Of 10 United States Senators.
The receivers contended that
they had earned the fees they
ask by giving their services "un-
stintedly" to the properties, and
exhibited reports showing favor
able records by the properties
under their control.
Mr.. O'Connell said that receiv-

When Postmaster General Wal

partment'S automobile on social
business he must continue to sit
in the tonneau with his top hat
on his lap. The House Commit
tee on Postoffice Appropriations,
in the bill introduced today, did
not include in it's recommenda-
tions the purchase of a larger
automobile.
At a hearing on the budget,
Mr.. Brown said he purchased an
automobile for $1.700 last year,
because he had no more money.
But he thought, and thinks, a
larger car is needed.
He explained that the car was
too small for a man of average
height to use when wearing his
top hat on formal occasions. He
said he had to carry his hat or
hold it on his lap.

BONUS BARRAGE
ON CONGRESS

Seven Marchers Visit "HilI,"
But Soon Take Departure
Without Disorder

Scheduled demonstrations by
bonus marchers at the Senate
and House office buildings and
the District Building failed to
materialize today.
Major Ernest w. Brown, police
superintendent, went personally
to the Capitol to look over the
situation but found only two
bonus marchers at the House
Building and only five at the
Senate Office Building.
Leave without Disorder
There was no disorder and the
men departed after seeing one
Representative and inquiring for
two Senators.
A delegation which was sched-
uled to appear at the District
Building to protest against police
efforts to prevent veterans from
getting into this city did not
materialize. ....,
While the bonus groups were
growing gradually, police view the
situation at present as anything
but alarming" Major Brown
said:
"There is no way Of telling
just how many men are COM
ing. The snow should dis
courage some of them. If the
movement obtains proportions
such as that characterizing the
hunger march in all prObabil-
ity / will again ask the Co

QUESTIONED
Senate to Hear Directors
of SO Agencies Affected
BY Hoover Plan

The Senate Economy Commit
tee will summon for testimony
the SO heads of executive agen-
cies recommended for regrouping
in the Presidents reorganization
plan to determine what effect
transfers will have on efficiency
and economy, Senator Hiram
Bingham (R0 of Connecticut,
chairman, said today.
In both Houses of Congress
there was scattered criticism and
applause for the Presidents re
organization plan.
A Staggering Problem
Senator Bingham, when an.
nouncing the plan to summon
the heads of the agencies before
his committee, said:
"The plan is so extremely
comprehensive and far reach.
ing in its effect that it pre-
SentS q staggering problem to
the Economy Committee.
am sorry President Hoover did
not send it piecemeal, so that
it could have been given more
detailed consideration"
Senator James F.. Byrnes CD
of South Carolina, ranking Demo
crat on the committee, said:
"The ShuffIing of a few bu-
reauS cannot accomplish much
economy. 1 am extremely dis
appointed in the recommends.
tiOns affecting few minor
agencies. 1 don't think it will
promote efficiency, let alone
economy"
Procedure Involved
Senate minority leader, Senator
Joseph T. Robinson CD o(
Arkansas, said that under the
existing law the Presidents minor
recommendations probably would
be carried out by allowing so days
to elapse without action by Con,
greSS which would automatically
enact Hoover'S requests.
1t was pointed out, however.
that either branch of Congress by
a resolution may block any or all
Of the reorganization plans.
Democratic Representatives were
unanimous in their opinion that
President Hoover should have
made his reorganization plans in
1880. While many expressed de-
light that at last he has made a
move toward reorganization Of
Government agencies, none would
say at this time whether he thinks
the Presidents plans will be
adopted.
Representative Black Critical
Representative Loring Black
jr. Cd, of New York, said:
"The transfer of the rivers
and harbOrs and flood control
work to the Department of
Interior is q bad suggestion
and it will be attacked. It.
should have been left where it
was"
Representative Joseph Byrns
Cd of Tennessee, chairman of
the House Appropriations Com
said that while he had
not read the Presidents plan, it
was reported to him that Mr.
Hoover made no estimate of the
saving to be effected by the
reorganization. He said:
Congress cannot proceed
with the Presidents suggestions
until it knows the savings to
be accomplished"
