51-25
Federal Workers Lose First
Skirmish When Senate Acts
on Amendment

Government employees who
are opposing the flat 10 per
cent cut in their salaries lost
the first skirmish in the Sem
ate this afternoon, when that
body voted decisively to reject
the johnson amendment pro-
viding a $1,000 salary exemp-
ton.
With a party line split, the
Senate voted against the Johnson
amendment, 81 to Is.
closer votes we're expected on
other amendments to be consid-
cred during the afternoon.
OratSry at End
| The first roll call in the economy
bill fight came after nearly three
days of oratory. For more than
two hours today Senator Blaine
(RO of Wisconsin continued his
speech of yesterday, pleading for
exemption in any salary cuts OF
the lower paid Government
workers.
In addition to Senator Johnson,
other liberals with amendments
pending include Thomas of Okla
homa, Wheeler of Montana and
Norris of Nebraska.
Liberals Renew Fight
Meeting early today, the liberal
group renewed the fight for an
exemption in the pay-cut para
graph. More than a half dozen
proposed amendments are pend
ing. Senators johnson, Norris,
Couzens, Blaine and others of the
liberal bloc have so far made no
estimates of their strength on a
showdown.
The Senate oratory over
economy and Government pay
ragged to such an extent yesterday
and the day before that little
real progress on the bill was
made.
Amendments call for exemp.
ton of Government workers pay
in range from $1,000 to $2,500.

Irish Set Beacon Lights
To Guide Missing Hausner
e he streaked across New

sner since he streaked across New
foundland at 9 p. m. (E. .TO
yesterday and headed out to sea.
If he maintained his plotted
course and 1OO-mile an hour
speed, Hausner should have
crossed the coast of ireland at
approximately l p. M, EST, to-
day. The distance from New
foundland to Ireland is approx
imately 1000 miles.
Gas For A Hours
Hausner had sufficient gasoline
for A hours of sustained flying.
At o'clock this afternoon, his
venture had been under way al
most ,28 hours.
Residents of Sydney, Nova
Scotia, and McCallum, Newfound-
land, reported sighting a plane
believed to be Hausner'S last
night.
The air ministry, Croydon Aero
drome and Steamship and Radio
Communication companies had no
news of the determined Hausner.
Dense Fog Encountered
While Hausner was reported to
have encountered dense fog and
cold rain along the first part of
his route, the air ministry re-
ported almost equally bad weather
over mid-Atlantic.
The lone flyer planned to re-
fuel at London if bad weather
caused more than average fuel
consumption, and otherwise to fly
directly to the Polish capital.

Senate Snag to Approval Of
Conference Report Seen
In Howell Attack

The House today approved
The conference report on
the $1,119,OOO,000 tax bill
by a voice vote, thus ad-
vancing the budget bal
ancing measure another step
toward final massage.
The conference report,
embodying a compromise
between Senate and House,
now goes to the Senate. A
fight in that body may de-
lay a final vote until Thurs
day.
With leaders determined to
force approval of The confer
ence report on the 81, ,119,0O0,-
600 tax bill, the House today
began consideration Of the
measure at a specially called
morning session.
Representative Crisp CD Of
Georgia, acting chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee,
urged the House to act to pre-
serve the credit of the Federal
Government.
When Crisp suggested an agree
ment on length of debate on the
measure, cries of "vote, vote"
rang out on both sides of the
chamber. Crisp. however, re-
J fused to ask for vote, declaring
debate was necessary on such
an important measure.
Rainey Attack Due
Representative Rainey CD OF
Illinois, the only one of the ten
conferees on the bill to refuse to
agree to the compromise, was
prepared to make an attack on
the tariff provisions.
Rejecting Senate opposition,
several members plan to assail
the conference agreement placing
as pr cent levy on domestic and
commercial consumption of elec-
tricity. Originally the tax was
levied on the power companies
by the Senate instead of on the
consumers.
Crisp declared Congress made
q mistake when it rejected the
general manuf ufscturers' excise tax
proposed by the House Ways and
Means Committee with food and
clothing exempted.
Howell Sees bad Faith"
House leaders predicted ap-
proval speedily but Senate leaders
saw little chance for action in
that body before Tuesday.
Charges of bad faith were
hurled at the 10 Senate House
conferees by Senator Howell (R.)
eof Nebraska because they placed
the 3 per cent tax on electricity
on the consumers. The Senate
had adopted the Howell amend.

George Arliss, left, was considered

Threat Of Economic War
 Will Not I urn Ireland1s
 From Independence Goal
De Valera Quotes Sir Aus ten Chamberlin to Prove Irish Delegates Were Forced to Sign Treaty on Threat of War There Is Now No Mili- tary Threat

Dublin, April 21. (UP)-Great Britain's strongest argument to dissuade Ireland from abolishing the oath of allegiance. the threat of an economic war, will not turn Irish republicans from their in dependence goal, President Ramon De Valera told the United Press.
 De Valera has achieved the first step in his program, passage by the Dail of the first reading Of the bill aimed to abolish the oath of allegiance from the free state con- stitution.
 Our decision has been reached after long deliberation and consid- eration of all its possible conse- quencess' the president said as he sat at his desk laden with docu- ments on the Anglo-Ifish negotia- tions regarding abolition of the oath and retention of the $15,000.- 900 yearly land annuities. We have, may add, no reason | to think that there is any danger l of economic war; he continued. | ''The Irish Free State is by far the best customer Great Britain has We buy mora goods from her than she buys from us.
 Last year the Free State was, | with the exception of South Africa, the. only important customer of Great Britain with whom the coun- try had favorable balance of trade. British statesmen are not
 likely wantonly to embark on a line of action which would inter
 fere with a trade position so ad-
 vantageous to their country" De Valera's opinion is not shared
 by the Cosgrave element and most
 British observers. If Britain holds
 the abolishiol of the oath to be q
 breach of the treaty of 1921 bind ling Ireland to the British Empire.
