Recalling the War Department ap-
preparation bill from the floor of the
Senate after it had been reported, the
Senate Appropriations Committee yes
terday added approximately $4,000, 600
to the measure to pay the salaries OF
the 1000 Army officers who faced dis
charge from the service under terms
of the House bill.
The committee previously had de-
cided the Army needed the 1000 off,
GERS the House had ordered eliminated,
but overlooked until after bill had been
reported the necessity of providing the
additional pay for their salaries. TIC
correct the error, the measure, carry
ing nearly $400, 100000. was taken of
the floor and returned to the CON-
mittee at the request Of Senator Reed
Republican, Of Pennsylvania. in charge
of the measure. The $27,209,9 1927 the
House provided for pay was raised to

for retirement in the House bill and
other resultant necessary changes made

This was $2l, 785, 249 under the estimate
for the fiscal year 1888. and $56, l94, 721

The largest single reduction was q

proximately $60,000,000 for this pur-
pose. Maj. Gen. Lyle Brown. chief OF
Engineers, said materials for this work
were cheaper now than in the past.
$4,000 Officers Necessary.
Secretary Hurley, in the committee
hearings, told members 10000 officers
were necessary for national defense
He also explained to them that moving
home the 1000 cut of by the House
would entail great deal of expense, so
that the savings would not be so large
after all.
Explaining the national defense act
required a strength of 14,063 officers
and that this had been reduced to
$4,000 over some years, Hurley added
any further reduction cannot be made
without serious jeopardy to the immedi-
ate and future safety OF the country

limit on annual leave certain groups
that do not now receive sick leave. A
third would exempt foreign service ON
GERS because they are stationed In cll-
mates where, it was argued, their health
requires longer leave.
Although the Senate rejected by flve
votes the general furlough plan as a
substitute for the 10 per cent cut, 1t &C
cepted the furlough clause written into
the bill by the Economy Subcommittee
This, the subcommittee explained. IS
not intended to be general furlough
of all workers, but is included as q
measure Of safety to avoid outright dis
missals Of any employees in isolated cases
where Congress may inadvertently fail
to provide sufficient money to cover the
existing personnel OF any bureau.
Automatic Promotions Prohibited.
The bill carries provisions prohibit
ing automatic promotions or the filling
Of vacancies, except by executive order,
in emergency cases, during the coming
year. The bill also seeks to discontinue
for the coming year extra pay for over
time, for night work or for Sundays
and holidays.
AS amended by the Economy Com
mittee, the bill hereafter would give
preference in the making Of new ap-
pointments to other than married per-
sons If the husband or wife already are
employed by the Government. Before
the bill came out the committee elm
mated the clause which said that, In
reducing personnel, married persons
should 60 first If the husband or wife
also was in some branch OF the Gov
eminent service.
Deductions from pay representing the
employees contributions to the retire.
ment fund are to be based on present
nav instead Of on the salary after the
10 per cent cut.
The bill contained a section providing
that where retired military officers hold
civil positions they could not draw
retirement pay which would make their
total salary more than $4,000. In such
a case they would have to elect to take
either the retired pay or the civil salary
This was amended to enable them to
earn from both retirement pay and
civilian employment the amount they
received as officers just prior to retire
ment.
Reorganization Policy.
The bill sets forth a general policy
on reorganization Of Government
bureaus, under which the President
would formulate consolidation plans
and transmit executive orders to Con-
gress. Such plans would take effect
after 60 days, unless Congress should
approve them sooner. Either branch OF
Congress could veto a reorganization
order by disappearing it.
The bill also contains authority for
the President to proceed, without regard
to the foregoing limitation, to work
consolidation of activities relating to:
Public health, other than veterans hos
pitfalls; personnel administration. educa-
ton, Mexican Water and Boundary
Commission and to merge such activities
of the War and Navy Departments as
relate to purchase Of supplies and ma
terials. on motion of Senator Fletcher
of Florida, merchant marine" was
stricken from this reorganization Sec
ton, and on motion of Senator Nye OF
