PAY SLASH SOUGHT
IN HIGHER BRACKET
BIanton Plans Bill to Restore
Salaries Above $500
to Old Status.

Representative Thomas L. Blanton,
Democrat Of Texas, announced today
he would introduce within the next 10
days a bill to repeal the Federal re-
classification act in so far as it applies
to Government workers whose salaries
now are in excess of s2,500 a year.
The object of the measure, Blanton
said, Is to place all Government en-
ployes earning more than $2,500 a year
back in the same salary status that
existed prior to reclassification.
"OfficialS in the Government service
under the reclassification act" Blanton
declared, "are gobbling up all of the
money. The poor devil Is not getting
anything
Il have received information showing
that 264 employees in the Department
of Agriculture alone are drawing $4,000
year or more. I am sure they are
not as competent and as qualified for
their work as some of the newspaper
men here at the Capitol, who are earn
ing far less than 5000 year"
Blanton said he does not know at
this time approximately how much
money the Government would save
under his plan, but pointed out he is
having a study made to determine the
amount.
If the reclassification act is repealed,
Blanton explained, Congress could fix
salaries every year In the various ,ap-
preparation bills and thus look out for
the interests Of the thousands of Fed
.eral workers in the lowest salaried
brackets.

STREET CLOS|NGS
BILL D|SAPPR0vED
Commissioners Chiefly 0p'
posed to Giving Planning
Body Control.

Representative Mary It. Norton of
New Jersey. chairman of the House
District Committee, received from the
District Commissioners today an un-
favorable report on the bill authoriz-
ing the closing of unnecessary streets,
highways and alleys in the District.
The chief objection of the Commits
sioners is to provision which would give
the National Capital Park and Plan
ring Commission control over the clos
ing Of the streets and alleys. The Com
missioners declared unless this provi-
sion is stricken from the measure they
do not believe it should be enacted
into law.
The commissioners take the position
the closing Of streets is municipal
matter and that they are best qualified
10 pass upon the merits of such a ques-
ton.
The Commissioners are Of the opin-
Ion, the report declared, that this
question can be cleared up as soon as
the definite legal authorization in so
far as they affect highways can be as
certained. To accomplish this end, the
Commissioners have invited the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
mission to join in the preparation of a
codification Of all laws and parts of
laws applying TO highways, streets and
alleys. This is an essential step toward
q settlement of hundreds of existing
laws and parts of laws applying to
the general subject of highways
"The Commissioners fell certain that
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission will cooperate i'll
preparing the necessary codification Of
laws and once this is done a new bill
viii be prepared recommending definite
legislation consistent with all laws gov
erning the two commissions as they
affect highways"

ANNAPOLIS KEEPS
GRADUATE COURSES
Adams Abides by Decision of
House Committee in West
Coast Project.

The Navy's postgraduate courses for
line officers will remain wholly at the
Naval Academy at Annapolis, Secre-
tary Adams said today.
The Navy Department thus will
abide by the decision Of the House
Naval Committee on this program.
A delegation from the Naval Com
mittee called upon the Secretary this
morning and apprised him of the COM
mittee's action yesterday in ruling
against an expansion Of the post-grad-
uate school ON the West Coast.
Mr. Adams said today it was never
intended that the postgraduate school
should be transferred from Annapolis,
but that the West Coast project was
proposed to take care Of expansion.
Whatever the committee says, goes" :"
said Secretary Adams.
Naval officials explained 1t was pro-
posed to establish West Coast branch
Of the postgraduate school at the Uni
versity of California, at Berkeley. This,
they said, would relieve congestion at
Annapolis, do away with travel expenses
across the continent and afford better
facilities to officers stationed on the
Pacific Coast.
In addition to the postgraduate
school for line officers at Annapolis, the
Navy has its officers enrolled in post
graduate work at George Washington
University, here, for law; at Harvard
University, also for law; at Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology, for en-
gineering, and at other institutions for
various other subjects.

HOME LOAN BANK
OPINIONS DIFFER
Secretary Lamont Denies
Senator Couzens' Charge
OF "Suggested" Queries.

Contrasting opinions as to the merits
OF the administration Home Loan Dis
count Bank proposal were expressed by
Secretary of Commerce Lamont and
Senator Couzens, Republican Of Michi-
gan, before a Senate Banking Sub
committee yesterday.
Senator CouzenS directly charged
leading queries were contained In a
questionnaire issued by the Commerce
Department to obtain information on
the home loan bill. This was denied
by Lamont, who said no attempt had
been made to suggest answers.
I'm view of the fact that the Gov
ernment Is to put up the money"
Couzens said "it seems every one con-
cerned would answer yes"
Lamont replied 1t was the intention
OF the bill eventually to support the
Home Loan Discount System with pri-
vate capital. Senator Watson Of Indi-
ana, sponsor Of the legislation, suggested
the original capital Of $75,000,00 or
500, 900, 900 might be subscribed by the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
Secretary Lamont agreed to this.
In answer to Couzens' complaint that
the new system would not meet the
evils Of second mortgages, which are
the real problem Of small home build
ers,' Lamont said it was his hope that
the system would eliminate the neces-
sity for second mortgages.
Cou7ens, nevertheless, insisted limi-
tations in the bill would not permit
substantial aid for the small home
builders
