READY
WITH COUNTER
PROPOSAL
Rep. O'Connor Will Launch
Fight on Special Rule That
Would Aid Reduction

Opponents of Federal pay
cuts moved into a strategic
position today to defeat any
pay-cut bill that may be re-
ported by the House Economy
Committee next week.
They will seek to prevent the
Rules Committee from approving
a special rule that would permit
the attachment of a pay-cut rider
to the legislative appropriation
bill or any other supply measure,
as is now planned.
ReductioniStS hope to secure
the rule for the attachment of a
rider so as not to be forced to
bring in a special bill.
O'COnnOr Fights Rule
1t was reported today that Rep
resentative John J. O'Connor O0
of New York would lead the fight
in the Rules Committee to block
the special rule.
Opponents of pay cuts predict
that in the event the economy
committee brings in a special bill
for reductions, and if it is adopted
by the House it will be defeated
in the Senate.
They base this prediction, they
say, on the fact that with ap-
proval of the House of the bill
it would be sent to the Senate
and referred to the Senate Civil
Service Committee, of which
Senator Porter H. Dale (RJ of
Vermont is chairman.
Representative John J. Coch-
ran CD of Missouri, chairman
of the House Expenditures Com
mittee and member of the Econ
omy Committee, said that he
would submit a substitute pro-
posal on the floor of the House
for any pay-cut measure that
may be reported by the Economy
Committee.
Cochran'S proposal would be to
retire 3,440 employees eligible for
retirement, which would effect a
saving, he said, of $9,000,OOO.
Curtailment Plan
In the event of reduction in
personnel, Cochran advocated
shifting the burden to those who
would suffer the least hardship.
His proposal along this line is
where curtailment Of activity is
necessary to first discharge from
service those men or women
whose wives or husbands are also
employed in the Federal depart
| mentS.
In a letter to Representative
Joseph w. Byrns CD of Ten
neSsee, chairman of the House
Economy Committee, Represen-
tative John J. Boylan CD of
New York, protested against sal
ary reductions and expressed his
unalterable opposition to any pay
cuts for Federal employees.
Boylan said that to pursue this
policy would be to initiate against
the best interests of the Govern
ment.
Federal employees, in comparison
with those in private employment,
are notoriously underpaid, and to
further reduce their meager sal
aries would be to impair their
morale and efficiency, Boylan de.

COUNCIL VOTING
LOOMS LARGE

The advocates of the council
at-large and council-by-ward plans
in Alexandria, are putting in
their final licks before the cleo
ton Tuesday. No election in the
history of the city has ever been
marked by harder work and as
bitter feeling.
On one side is aligned the
bankers and present city council,
with the exception of M. T.
Dwyer, and the council-by-ward
plan is headed by residents of
the annexed territory, and those
who believe the people will be
better represented if each ward
elects its own councilman.
The only thing that all lead
ers agree on is that large vote
will be cast and that the election
will be close.

Borah and Mcclellan
Back Cut in Senate

A Democratic-In -Insurgent coali-
ton in the Senate today pro-
posed to save $66O,OOO, 900 in Fed,
eral expenditures by the reduc.
ton of Government salaries and
reductions in operating costs.
Headed by Senator William E.
Borah (RJ of Idaho and Senator
Kenneth McKellar CD of Ten
nessee, the coalition urged that
Federal employees be forced to
share in the burden of the Ameri,
can taxpayer by accepting salary
cuts for one year.

OLD COUPLE DIE
BY GAS FUMES
IN HOME
Frank Glorious, 80, and Wife,
IS, Found LifeIess When
Police Force Entrance

Frank Glorious, so, and his
wife Frieda, IS, were found
dead today from gas in their
home at 1929 Third st. N. w.
Four gas jets were open
and one was burning when
police forced entrance into the
place.
Gas company officials said
there was sufficient gas in the
house to cause suffocation but
not asphyxiation, and were in
clined to believe that the elderly
couple had committed suicide.
Point to Accident
Police however, believe the
deaths to be accidental, pointing
out that a frying pan containing
food stuffs on gas plate in the
kitchen was still warm when they
entered, and that a tube leading
from a ceiling light to the plate
was leaking.
Police were called after colored
neighborS had missed Mrs.
GloriuS and had seen news papers
accommodating on the front porch.
Glorius, it was said, has been
paralyzed for years.
PaSter Calls Police
When the police entered Glor-
iuS was found covered with
blankets, lying on a couch in the
front room. Mrs. GlroiuS was
found in hallway leading into
the kitchen, apparently having
collapsed while entroute to their
room.
Police were called by the Rev.
Grant Contee, colored, pastor cf
the East Capitol Methodist
Church, who resides at 1917
Third st. N. w.
Police found SIS in a purse be-
longing to Mrs. Glorius and
after talking with neighbors indi-
Gated they would keep a guard
there until a thorough search of
possible hidden money was made.
GloriUs and his wife, according
to their neighbors, at one time
were leading florists of Wash
ington, maintaining an establish
ment across the street from their
residence and also at Center Mar
ket. They also were said to
have owned all the property on
the block where they resided as
we'll as on the adjacent R Street.
Dead 48 Hours
DR.. C. w. Leemasters, of the
Emergency Hospital staff said
the couple had been dead for at
least 48 hours. Neighbors told
police they last saw Mrs. Glorius
on Thursday.
DR.. j. Chester Brady, 35 New
York Ave. N. W., told police both
the elderly people had been under
his treatment and that they came
to see him a week ago Saturday
in reference to a bill and told
him they were destitute.
Police today were seeking to
locate relatives and took charge
of scores of letters bearing Ger
man postmarkS.

Glassford Appears
To Be a Magnet
For Threats

Chief of Police Pelham D.
Glassford today received an
other threat, this time a threat
of arrest for a parking viola

Upon emerging from a con-
ference with Commissioner Her
bert B. Crosby at the District
Building, General Glassford
found note on the windshield
of his new Packard roadster in
forming him he had parked in
a space reserved for Federal
Government officials.
The note instructed him to
consult Policeman Jerry Brod-

At the same time, Sir Willmott

which the extortionists promised
him in their last miSSive.
The threat notes limited kid

Lady Lewis is under a big
nervous strain and l hope that

her mind off her worries. We
are confident the police and
the nurse will be able to safe
guard the yOungSter."
The samples of typeWriting
from Chicago are being compared
with the notes received at the
Lewis and Longwortn home and
with three other threatening
notes received in Washington
within the last week.
While police assert the Long
worth and the Lewis cases are un-
related, they nevertheless admit
that note paper seized in the
C.arterS of Sergeant Carper at
the Marine Barracks is of the
same type and size.
Disappeared Last Month
The police, also, admit that as
a result of a Bureau of Standards
analysis of the typewriting, the
notes might have been written on
a typewriter found in a local
office building to which the
Marine had access.
Sergeant Carper disappeared
frtSn his post during the latter
part of February and on March
3 was listed as a deSerter.
Marine Corps officials would
like to talk to him about the
absence of $500, which disappeared
at the time he left.
Police were paying no atten-
ton to threatening letters re-
ceiVed by Ben Lyon and Bebe
Daniels, Brig. Gen. Pelham D.
Glassford, superintendent Of
police, and Edward L. Hillyer,
vice president of the Union
Trust Company. These notes, say
the police, were the work of a
crank"

Mountain climbing in the Hima-

dealing a bridge hand or pouring

Hetty Dyhrenfurth told members
of the National Geographic So

She described her climb with
her husband up Mt. Kinchin-
junga, third highest peak in the
world, but they found its top in
accessible and instead they
climbed Jonsong Peak, 24,340 feet
high, thus giving her the record
climb for a woman, she said.

Hilarious F arce Will Be Shown for Last Times
 Tonight at Capitol

Private Lives starring Norma Shearer and Robert Montgomery will be shown for the last times tonight at the Capitol theatre. In this hilarious comedy, some re- markable mountain climbing scenes are pictured.
 In one of these, Miss Shearer and Montgomery are seen scaling sheer peaks, guided by Jean Her sholt, enacting the part of a Swiss mountaineer.
 For these scenes the company jouneyed to Glacier National Park in the northern part of Montana almost on the Canadian eborde1 line.
 5000 Feet Above Sea
 Here. some 5000 feet above ses level, camera and sound equip meft had to be packed in a burrt train, while the players and crew had tc do most of the climbing by tortuous trails, across th' chasms and up the sides of steer precipices. In this region, regard ed as among the most beautifu of the national parks, the snoV remains all the year round anS many of the trails were still icy despite the summer suns warmin! rays.
 At that altitude sound recording was found to be excellent, due t' the extreme rarity of the air ant almost total lack of extraneou sound vibrations or other disturb ances in the clear atmosphere.
 Rebounding of Dialogue
 The one difficulty, however, wa in preventing "rebounding' of dia logue. First trials resulted in th' words being recorded from thre' to six times because of echoes While echoes were natural enougl in an Alpine. setting, it was not a all satisfactory to have the dia logue indistinguishable. It wa not until deflecting sound boards placed at points of vantage, broke the echoes and scattered then that work could be carried on.
 Included in the cast of the TO mantle farce are Reginald Denny Una Merkel, Jean Hersholt, an George Davis. The picture wa directed by Sidney Franklin.
