hasn't got one now.
Newton D. Baker, former secretary

Byrns Favors Flat Reduction.
Wood Declares Government
Service Is 0vermanned.

The fight to protect Government SAL
aries from continued slashing was
started in the House today, when the
Treasury-Post Office appropriation bill
was under discussion. Representative
La Guardia, New York, protested Wig
orously against taking money out Of
the pockets of Government employees
and thereby breaking down the wage
system of the country, with suffering
and despair widespread throughout the
land.
Representative Bankhead, Democrat,
Alabama, opened the question by ask

that by enacting the economy act and

money out of the pockets OF the poor
man, and when we do that, he said, we

TEN that has been our boast Tor %
years.
Brands Bill Poorly Drawn.
"The economy bill was so poorly
drawn" continued Mr.. La Guardla,
that $50 interpretations have had to
be made. 1t is not the fault Of the
controller general that he has made so
many unpopular decisions on the econ
omy measure, because it was drawn up
so quickly that I do not believe even
those who framed 1t understand Its
provisions.
IN the Post Ofice appropriation bill
we read about postal clerks and car
riers and substitute clerks and carriers.
We have grown-up men with families
who have been substitutes for years and
who are now drawing checks for but SIS

keep up trucks out of their poor salaries

Queries About "Riot."
The resolution goes on to itemize a
number of other questions, including a
query as to whether there was a riot
prior to the calling cut of the Army
whether ex-service men participated in

KING ACTS TO HALT
|. j. S. MERGER PLAN
Senator Presents Resolution
Opposing Presidents
Entire Program.

A resolution disappearing the whole
Government regrouping program sub
mitted by President Hoover was offered
today in the Senate by Senator King
Democrat, Utah.
King explained he favored many of
the moves but was strongly opposed to
others.
To bring the question to issue, he
proposed disapproval of the lot. His
resolution went over for future con-
sideration.
Meanwhile, other efforts were being
started to block the realignments sug-
gested by the President, on reasoning
that the changes should be left to the
incoming Democratic administration.
Garner Favors All or None.
If, however. administration Repre-
sentatives can convince the House Ex-
penditures Committee with its Demo-
cratic majority that cash would be
saved, some changes might be allowed
to take effect Unless Congress acts in
60 days, all the proposals become
effective.
Speaker Garner at his press confer
ence today said he thought Congress
either should put aside all the trans
fers and eliminations or let them all
become effective"
TT can be changed after March 4
anyhow" he said.
II doubt that any committee in the
60 days could study all the things in
the Presidents program.
He made it plain that he has not
given his support to a three committee
drive against the reorganization plan
namely the Economy, Rivers and Har-
bors and Flood Control-but that thus
far his opposition has been voiced to
the taking of the rivers and harbors

ment and putting them in public
