U.S.FURLOUGH
MAY W|N|N
SENATE
Plan to SuperCede Pay Slash
Has Chance When New Vote
Is PoIIed by Body

Having partially wrecked
the omnibus economy bill by
throwing out $50,OOO,ooO OF
estimated savings, the Senate
gave indications today it
might substitute the furlough
plan for the flat 10 per cent
pay cut affecting Federal en-
ployes.
The furlough plan, which the
Administration is sponsoring, was
defeated by a vote of ii to 36.
-Four Senators who voted against
it were reported as recruits ar"
irving today in the camp of its
supporters. Since the Moses
amendment for staggered fur
loughs without pay mustered 36
votes, this shift encouraged belief
that the Senate would reconsider
its earlier action.
COnferS With Hoover
Senator Jones (RO Of Wash
ington, chairman of the Senate
Appropriations Committee and the
special economy subcommittee,
conferred this morning with Presi-
dent Hoover concerning the bill.
One object of the conference was
to survey possible new economies
to take the place of the $780,
100000 lost when the Senate re-
fused to cut allowances of dis
abled World War veterans.
Less than $200,000,000 of esti-
mated savings for the next fiscal
year remained in the bill today.
Of this total, about $117,000,0O0
was represented by the 10 per
cent pay cut, with salaries of
$1,000 or less exempted.
Vocational Cut
Other economies meeting Sen.
ate approval included a reduction
of the vocational educational
fund for next year to $500, 900
for authorized public buildings
and a 10 per cent cut in estimates
where no contract has been
awarded.
Drastic power to reorganize
executive bureaus and consolidate
or eliminate administrative agen-
cies were conferred upon the
President under provisions passed
by the Senate.
If the furlough amendment
again is defeated after considera-
ton it is the purpose of Senator
Carter Glass CD of Virginia to
move reconsideration of the vote
by which the 10 per cent slash
was voted into the economy bill.

MEANS CODE
Barred HERE
At TRIAL
All Roman Catholics Removed
by Juror Challenges; SIeuth
Unconcerned in Court

District Attorney Leo A.
Rover today revealed an
elaborate fabric of mystery
surrounding negotiations for
the return Of the Lindbergh
baby and outlining to the jury
what he expected to show in
the trial of CASTOR B. Means
for larceny and en1bezzlemeht
of 100000 from Mrs. Evaiyn
Walsh Mclean.
Mrs. Mclean, he said, was the
mother of four children, one OF
whom, now dead, had many times
been threatened by kidnapers.
Therefore, when the Lindbergh
child was stolen, she was eager
to restore it and thought Means
might be able to help.
Big NAP Case"
She gto Means address and
telephoned him, and he met her
on March at her Massachusetts,
Avenue home. Means, according
to Rover, said he thought he
could get in touch with the kid
napers because he had met, in a
New York speakeasy shortly be-
fore, a man he had previously
known in the Atlanta Penitentiary
and who had told him thta a big
map case" was in prospect.
Means, according to Rover, said
he had been offered a chance to
participate, but had declined.
Next day, Means told Mrs. NC
Lean she must contact Lind
bergh, to get permission to work
on the case and also a Catholic

Photographic proof that Mooney

Those close to the governor re-
iterated their belief that a COM

liberate Mooney, it was pointed out,
without deciding the long mooted
question of whether he was justly
convicted.

The Union Oil tanker Gather

Martinez after hours helpless in
the sea off Ventura. The anchor
chain snapped while the ship was
attempting to weather the gale
in Ventura roadstead and became
entangled in the propeller. After
wallowing for hours the chain was
untangled and the vessel pro-
ceeded.

boat was swamped.
The gale which laShed the
beaches was declared by old resi-
dents to be the worst experienced
in years. For nearly % nour5
mountainous waves smashed at
the shore.
The high winds picked up the
sand from the beaches, carrying
it inland and covering towns for
miles with a fine layer. Garages
along the beaches were blocked,
and roads impossible in many
places.
In the city of Los Angeles
proper the winds velocity was
greatly lesSened, but nominal dam
age reported.
Outlying towns felt the full force
of the blast. Portions of the roof
of the San Pedro $500,000 branch

trees were down for miles along
the ocean front.
A section Of the brick wall of
the Granada theatre in Inglewood

terence, it appeared, will be fur
| ther postponement. And even this
is not certain.
The present appeal for sigma
lures on agreements to pay a
quarter Of a billion dollars over 10
years with interest at 4 per cent
arises from the Paris conference
last summer. Where the debtor
countries initiated an agreement
to repay the debts postponed dur
the 1912 fiscal year, but did
not sign regular legal contracts.
When asked about this omis-
sion. officials explained that the
United States could not execute
the agreements then. Congress did
not give the executive the neces-
sary authority until last December.
No reason was given for delay
ing the request for signatures from
December until a few days ago 1t
was suggested in the official
quarter that the treasury conSid-
cred the signing of the agreements
a routine matter which required
no haste.
Requests for the signatures we're
handed the embassies and lega-
tions of the ii debtor nations by
the state department, acting for
the treasury. None of the agree
ments were sent Austria and
Greece. They are parties to var
ious financial commitments in
Europe which prevent them from
signing additional monetary agree
mentS without the consent of their
creditors. Presumably their debt
will be regularized later. Their OBJ
LEGATIONS are small.
