OUTSIDER SEEN
IN SCHOOL JOB

Possibility that the newly Gre

mentary school instruction in the
District schools will be filled by
an outsider" instead of by
someone from the system was
indicated today, despite past op-
position from civic and school
groups.
Although teachers in the SER
vice are asked today, to apply
for the position, DR.. Frank w.
Ballou, superintendent of schools,
already has several applications
for women in other cities.
DR.. Ballou said, however, that
if the application of an outsider
is s'found to present better uualifi-

STRAIGHT GU 7
GAINING OVER
FURLOUGH
Capitol Leaders Leaning To-
ward Original Reduction Plan
and Accuse Hoover

A drive to dump the payless
furlough overheard and substitute
straight pay cut of about 10 per
cent for all Federal employees is
rapidly gaining momentum In
both branches of Congress, it be-
came apparent today.
The three Democratic members
of the Senate Economy Commit
tee, which is Republican in name
only, are definitely opposed to the
furlough. In the House, in under
ground channels, a strong tide Of
resentment is moving rapidly to-
ward abolition of the payless
leave plan.
When the President recently
recommended continuation of the
furlonugh and an additional cut,
Senator James F. Byrnes CD,
of South Carolina, a member Of
the Senate Economy Committee,
declared the proposal would con-
sign t. furlough to the waste
basket.
others Believe Same
His Democratic colleagues on
the committee share his senti
ments. Senator Sam G. Bratton
D), of New Mexico, declares
the Presidents plan is too
Steep" He favors a straight cut.
Senator Kenneth D. Mcclellan
CD, of Tennessee, said:
81 never favored the fur
lOugh."
In the House many members
prefer the straight cut.
There is also a feeling that
President Hoover is trying to
put the Democrats ION the spot"
by forcing a showdown on their
honesty in adopting a platform
pledge to reduce Federal expendi-
lures Is per cent.
A delegation of American Fed
Grafton of Labor officials, headed
by Frank Morrison, secretary Of
the organization, today protested
to Representative Joseph w.
Byrns CD of Tennessee, chair
man of the House Appropriations
Committee, against the continue
ton of the Federal economy act,
including the furlough, and the
imposition of the II per cent
wage cut.
Morrison said the delegation
represented 105 national and in
ternational unions. All would be
affected, he said, by the continua-
ton of the economy act and the
proposed pay cut.
Call Old Plan Failure
House members say the Presi-
dents demand for an additional
reduction proves the failure of the
furlough which was adopted on his
lnsistence. They say that if the
straight cut had been adopted
last year they would not have
new demands now.
The Treasury-PoStoffice bill,
which will be reviewed by the
House Appropriation Committee
tomorrow, contains provisions for
the furlough and other features
of the economy act, it is reported,
but the Presidents new recommn-
dation has been omitted. However,
an amendment is to be written in
by the committee or proposed on
the floor.

GRANT SEEKING.
FUND RELEASE

In a desperate attempt to save
employees of the Office of Public
Buildings and Parks from addi-
tional administrative furloughs,
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, director,
has requested the Bureau of the
Budget to seek release of $4,000
impounded by the Treasury.
Colonel Grant also asked, in ad-
dition to the $4,000 impounded
as the result of vacancies, that all
other money impounded during
the fiscal year likewise be re-
turned to his department.
He is faced with increasing the
3O-day administrative furlough.
The $4,000 impounded during the
first five months of the current
fiscal year plus whatever else is
impounded prior to next June 80
will enable him to continue with
out imposing additional furloughs.

ADVANCE GUARD
FACE QU|ZZ|NG
At D. {. LINE
Demonstrations at Capitol
And White House Barred;
2 Red Groups Due

Police lines were tightly drawr
today as three seperate soldier
bonus expeditions converged or
Washington, all intent on one OBJ
jective-immediate cash payment
of the bonus.
To meet the situation, Major
Ernest w. Brown, Superintendent
of Police, today announced:
No demonstrations will be
tolerated at either the Capitol
or the White House.
All bonus marchers must find
quarters for themselves or face
the alternative of being
marched out of town under po-
lice escort or arrest on vagrancy
charges.
Guard at White House
Major Brown also sent specia
details to the White House anc
the Capitol, placed motorcycle
men at all entrances to the city
to check arrivals and issued this
order to commanding officers oi
all precincts:
"YOu will instruct your men
to be on the lookout for all
bonus marchers coming into
this city and ascertain their
destination. If this cannot be
done hv the officer noting
them, call the detective bureau
Immediately and an officer will
be sent to do so. Also notify
the detective bureau of all in
formation received"
AS the police mapped their re
ception policy, the bonus boys
tWo-thirds of whom are said tc
have been in the first bonus
expedition last summer, were
coming into the city in small
groups.
Police in Dark
Conflicting estimates place d
the number here already at be-
tween 200 and 500 alid the maxi
mum expected at between 4OC
and 5000. Police frankly did
not know how many to expect
but laid their plans to cope with
any situation which might de
velop.
This policy was adopted be.
cause conflicting reports as to
the strength of the first bonus
army and the second hunger
marchers' expedition gave it
precedent.
The bonus marchers are eX
pected to assemble Monday for a
four-day session, during which, II
is understood, attempts will be
made to demonstrate at the White
House and the Capitol.
Two COmmunis ! Groups
The three groups are composed
of members of the Bonus Expedi
tionary Force, which is incorpor
ated under the laws of Illirois as

Rank and File, a Communist or
ganization which grew out of the
radical left wing of the first bonus

has affiliated with the Com

Present for Baby

Meanwhile, in addition to
my congratulations, I have a
more material way Of expressing
the good will Of our organiza-
tion. When you were married,
you were sent a check for a
months rent. Now that you are
a father, we intend doing just
as we did before.
your wife will have a check
for $75 in the morning. BY once
more paying your rent, I feel
that we are doing our share to-
ward making you proud OF your
job and your station in life"
Well, my friends. IA months
later, there was another baby.
And, accordingly, another rent
check for $75. But this time the
boss wasn't quite so cordial.
He failed to make any lengthy
speeches or to use any glowing
words. After all, there had been
three checks in a very short
space of time. And enough was
enough, as the wise men say.
That was his viewpoint, how
ever, and not his employees.
Before anyone could quite real
ize that the time could pass so
quickly there were three more
babies in the young mans fam
lily. The last one arrived a
month or so ago, and the boss
was growing slightly dizzy.
Business wasn't any too good
now, and those $75 checks were
not to be tossed around as they
once were.
Why He Complained
Shortly after the last check
had been mailed out. the boss
secretary walked into his Of
flee with a thoughtful express
sion on her face.
II don't like to spread office
gossip" she said, "but this is
something 1 think you should
know. Mr.. Brown has been
\grumbling around the office for
several days. He's been re-
ferring to you as a cheap skate
and a piker, and he has threat
ened to quit on more than one
occasion"
The boss turned a pretty
shade of purple.
What's that?" he roared.
Brown da:es to call me a
piker when I've sent him more
$75 rent checks than I have
the rest of the forces put to,
gether! Him with more babies
than he can count! What rea.
son does he give?"
His secretary clasped her
hands.
"He says that he's been pay.
ing $85 month rent for the
past two years." she murmured
apOIogetically, "and that you
have been deliberately gypping
him."
