Senate Is Expected
To Act on Pay Slash

Senator Kenneth McKellar CD
Tennessee, member of the Appro-
priations Committee, moved in the
Senate late yesterday to return to
the committee the State, Justice,
Commerce and Labor Departments
appropriations bill with instruc-
tions to reduce its total by flat
10 per cent. The bill carries ap-
proximately $124,0O0,000 as it
came from the House.
Motions in Favor
Having recently voted, 40 to 25,
to send back the Interior Depart
ment supply bill for a 10 per cent
cut, the Senate was expected to
adopt the McKellar motion on the
bill now before it. The Appropria.
tions Committee has not yet re-
drafted the Interior measure.
Senator AShurst CD of Arizona
protested that the McKellar mo-
ton was an irregular way to go
about making cuts. After the Sen.
ate votes down specific amend
ments by McKellar to cut this
item or that, Ashurst argued, it
then sends an entire bill back to
the committee "and makes it a
tribunal to make the slashes any.
way and overrule the Senate it
self"
Salaries Too Low
Government salaries on the
whole are too low, Ashurst said
during opening debate on the
State. Justice Commerce and
Labor supply bill.
Senator Blaine (RD of Wis
consin, said that $1l,0O0,0o0
might we'll be taken out of the
bill, this sum representing part
of the prohibition enforcement
funds allowed in the bill. Such
expenditures, he said, represents
a futile attempt to enforce a
foolish law"

"Fine Old Spanish Gentlemen"
at the Helm on the
Other End

Mail order divorces, served
piping hot in Mexico 10 days
after your order is put in, are
offered the unhappily mated
in Washington by the Mexi-
can Divorce Bureau.
A prospective client, Mrs.
Blank" calling at the bureaus
offices here, was interviewed by
a pleasant-faced young man who
said he was j. Huburt Burroughs,
just back from Maxico and
member of the District bar.
10 Days, No Publicity
According to Mr.. Burroughs the
divorces obtained through his
bureau are perfectly legal, in all
respects except those affecting
the property rights of children.
Children, not being under the
jurisdiction of the Mexica n
courts, have to have their little
problems settled by an American
court. Otherwise the divorce,
obtainable in 10 days minus any
publicity whatever" are o. K.
Mr.. Burroughs Genial
Mr.. Burroughs talked as
though he was preaching a
funeral sermon. He was grave.
Dignified. And so sympathetic!
He said if the husband was
willing and would come to his
office with the wife Cor vice
versa), the entire matter could
be settled in 20 minutes. Other
wise notice on the erring spouse
husband or wife), would be
posted OF the bulletin board in
the court house at Chihuahua,
Mexico, just across the border.
Default Is Outlet
Mr.. Burroughs told his client"
that he, himself, was just back
from Mexico and he had arranged
with a fine old Spanish gentle
man down there" to handle the
Mexican end of the business.
OF course the party of the
other part" might see the notice
on the courthouse in Chihuahua
or friend might see it and notify
him or her, but it was highly inn
probable, said Mr.. Burroughs, in
the majority of cases, that either
would happen. And the case would
be lostGby default.
The papers, once obtained
through the Mexican courts, must
be signed by the United States
consul. But apparently that little
matter did not worry Mr.. Bur
roughS.
$3.50 Is Fee
The client was assured that she
could remarry nine months after
the divorce was obtained. A man
can remarry Immediately.
The Mexican government, said
Mr.. Burroughs, would get $3.50 of
the $3.50 fee charged. OF course,
if the husband saw or heard of
the notice and contested the case
there would be additional charges,
but small, Mr.. Burroughs said.
Concluding, Mr.. Burroughs said:
Reno divorces are out of
date. Everyone in New York
and Washington is taking the
Mexico method in preference to
the lengthier and more publ
ciZed older system"

Slaughter of Ducks
Laid to Poison in
Rifle GrenadeS

The duck death mystery is
solved.
Rifle grenade practice at
Fort Humphreys, Va, has sent
hundreds of spent grenades
containing crystals of phos-
phorus into the swamps and
marshes of the Potomac. Ducks
eating the crystals in their
search for plant life have died
by the score, puzzling fisher
men and Government experts.
Louis A. Blanchard of the
Biological Survey first dis
covered the cause of the
slaughter when he found the
waters of Pohick Creek polluted
with the chemical. Fort officials
have ceased grenade practice

Safety zones, when desig-

MEASURE DUE
TOMORROW
Committee NearS Compromise
After Scanning Diagrams
of EtfiCiensy Chief

The House Economy Com
mittee expects to complete its
consideration of Monies
that may be effected in the
Government payroll and draft
a pay-reduction bill by tomor-
row afternoon, Representative
Joseph w. Byrns (D.) of
Tennessee, chairman of the
committee, announced today.
The committee is expected to
reach a compromise agreement,
following the submission Of
charts by Herbert Brown, chief
of the Bureau of Efficiency, Civ.
ing detailed information regard
ing savings that may be made
by the application of various pay
cut scales.
A Compromise Bill
The compromise will be an
agreement between those mem
bers of the economy committee,
who advocate drastic reductions
on the lowest salaries, and those
who favor high exemptions, and
those who favor various rates Of
percentage, ByrnS said.
The committee has unani-
mously agreed that the pay-cut bill
should be attached as a rider
to the legislative appropriations
bill. 1t will be placed on the
calendar, and the rules COM
mittee will then be asked to re-
port out rule, making it ger
name to the supply bill.
Opponents Have Chance
Opponents will have two op-.
portunities to vote on the queS-
ton, as it will be necessary for
the House to approve the rule
before a vote may be taken on
the pay-cut bill itself.
Six Plans Offered
Six different plans we're sub
mitted yesterday, but the com.
mittee failed to agree as it's men,
bers sought to draft a bill that
would effect economies in such a
way as would meet the approval
f the House.
The estimates of saving ranged
from $50,000,O0G to 35,OOO,00O,
and included practically every
class of employe including char
women and day laborers.
One suggestion recommended
reduction of the salaries of the
forces of national defense includ.
ing enlisted men of the Army
and Navy.
