 washington, Oct 20-(UP) - Pressure is on at Washington for reducing fancy salaries drawn by big business executives.
 Even President Roosevelt, it is reported, has given consideration to the matter and has, discussed 1t with Attorney General Cummings. As the government moves more di- rectly into this question 1t Is likely to he debated at considerable length In congress next winter. whether anything can be done through legislation, and if so in what way, had not been officially indicated. But enough is on rec ord already to show that Washing ton Is stripping the privacy from corporation salaries and is rapidly converting this once secret data into matter of public interest.
 Just as the government is nov ing through the securities act to protect the public from being vic- timized by misrepresentation when it invests money Washington also is seeking to intervene to protect stockholders against management executives who skim off a thick cup of cream for themselves in the form of salaries and bonuses.
 The federal. trade commission, under a senate resolution, has just sent uuestionnaires to more than a.000 large corporations calling for salary lists.
 The senate stock market inves- tigating committee this week has gone through the pockets of one oi the biggest bankers of the country, Albert H. Wiggin, former head ot Chase National Bank, to find out what his pay envelope contains This search revealed that Wiggin Is retired on life salary of $10o,- 900 a year.
 MIRA also has been looking into tho salaries of movie executives and stars some of which outshinc those of the biggest bankers. It Is generally accepted in Hollywood that leading stars receive $100,000 to $150,000 a picture, for two or three pictures a year. Cheva1er IS supposed to draw $150.000 u pie ture and Will Rogers, S125.00O' Producers are rated at $5,00O to $IO,O0O a week.
 Several life insurance executives, according to unofficial figures placed in the congressional record were listed at $125,000 to $200,0OO a year. Some of the largest were raised in 1892 but since reduced.
 After interstate commerce Com missioner Eastman was made tenn porary railroad administrator, he blAught pressure on rail executives to cut down to bare $60,000. Sev-

Trading Much Better
 And Prices Went Up
Technical Rally Was Caused By the Rumors Russia
 Was to Be Recognized

 New York. oct 20.--(UPl-- Stocks snapped back to-day after two days of price-shattering de- clines and trading picked up ma terially.
 The technical rally many market observers had expected was aided greatly by rumors afoat in Wall street of Russian recognition. Unit ed Press advices from Moscow said President Roosevelt and Nikhail |. Kalin, president of the Russian central executive committee, had exchanged messages preliminary to opening of diplomatic negotiations in Washington.
 These rumors and technicalities were also aided by exeellet earn ings and dividend reports from sev- eral major companies which mo- tivated traders to turn on buying power.
 Activity on the buying side reached its most impressive stage | in several weeks shortly after mid. day but trading quieted down near | the close. | Wheat at one time climbed tho maximum permissible fiuctuatior of cents a bushel, but receded from the highs at the close. Cottor was strong. Convertible bonds hat I a good gain along with the stocf ] market and the United States dol lar gained in relation of foreigr currencies.
 All groups shared in the recover, but the hard pressed industrial list | which had undergone the most SC | we're hammering In predicting ses sions, gave the best tone to thu come back. After an irregulai opening, in which the ticker wa, unable at times to keep up, a rel atively steady market prevailed Then came the early afternoon buying spurt.
 On that rise United States stee was lifted to 3S, rise of 2 5-l points, but it receded to around 37 American Telephone fell back iron a high of 115 7-8, to slightly unde 115, but maintained about az poin gain. Dupont showed gain o more than 2 points.
 Farm equipment shares proftet well on the Russian reports. Ex perts believe these companies vii profit greatly by such a program J. l. Case was up almost points l dAtCT EcCSuAhS AhVAC shau ROthl from its high. International liar vester maintained. better than points advance.
 U. S.. Steel was up more than points after an earlier gain 0 more than 4 points. Cerro de Pasc, had more than a ? points gain American Smelling was up points Kendnecott showed more than 1 point gain.
 Repeal issues were strong witl National Distillers about point higher, Schenley more than

 Chairman Pittman of the senate foreign relations committee. when asked about the reports from Mos COW. said he had not been advised of any developments in the Rus sian situation.
 One of the important questions which probably would be discussed between Litvinoff and the presi- dent concerns means of increasing Russian American trade. In 1891. American exports to the Soviet Union totalled $111.000,000, but they declined last year to about one-tenth that amount.
 Russian sources explained their decreased orders here were due to their inability to obtain satisfac- cause diplomatic relations were lacking. z,
 The state department, the REC and other government agencies have been making an intensive study of credits to the Soviet Union. Last summer the REC ad- vanced about s4,000,00O for the purchase by Russia of American cotton and s75.000.000 from the same organization to enable Rus sia to buy cotton and non-ferrous metals here is now under consid- ! eration.
 A recent study prepared for the state department. indicated Russia would buy $s50. 100000 worth of goods here annually it proper cred 1t facilities could be obtained and if the United States would take certain Russian exports.

 (The United Press learned. from authoritative sources in Washing ton, and reported on September 2i. that recognition probably would be announced before November l." in order to present 1t as an accom- plished fact before the next seS- Sion of congress.

 The Soviet wants an extension Of credits, 1t Is understood. involving upwards of $50,O 1000. It Is willing to eXpend these credits for the products of the so-called heavy industries. as we'll as for cotton and food stuf.s. Soviet orders, 1t Is felt here, would find ready accept ance in the Roosevelt scheme for economic recovery, since they would provide primer to set off a heavy-industry revival.
 During the Coolidge administra- ton, NJ. Tchicherin. commissar of foreign affairs, openly bid for recognition--but his advances were spurned by the administration in the now famous Hughes formula. '
 Negotiations during the Hoover administration never reached fur thor than the initiative stage.
 Since the Roosevelt accession to power, there have been innumcr- able instances of diplomatic flirta- tion between the two powers, among them the extension by the government of q $4,000,000 loan, last June, and the secret" meet ing of Raymond Moley, then as sistant secretary of state, with Max Lityinoff, the foreign commissar, in July, at London.
 It was understood that Litvinoff had cancelled his plans for jour- ucy to Angora, Turkey. in order tn make the trip to Washington at the end of this month.

CIimaxing Railroad Developments

Ironically, the airplane, one of the strongest competitors of the railroads, inspired the construction of the railplane, which utilizes all that has been learned i'm aircraft research in recent years, especially pertaining to metals and shapes of high strength and little weight. Just as it was found most suited for aviation, chrome inolybdenum steel tubing has been employed for the framework of the railplane. This framework, covered with an aluminium alloy shell, gives the railplane the utmost strength and rlgidity. Yet, at the same time. tho weight of the coach is only 25,000 pounds as compared with the 16O,- 900 pounds of a steel coach.

LEGISLATORS EXPENSES

Certainly any expense allowance
for legislators to cover the special
sessions this winter should be def
nitely limited.
1t should either be a lump sum
for the winter, of which the legisla-
tors can make the most, or it
should be an allowance by the day,
based on a limited number of days.
It if itsn't set up in this way, the
Legislature is likely to fritter away
useless days, with the Legislators
filling chairs in the Columbus hotel
lobbies at the states expense.
Undoubtedly, some additional ex-
pense allowance will have to be
made. Legislative pay was not set
up to take care of these extraordi-
nary times.
Members of the legislature were
paid all of their salaries for the
two years, amounting to $1,000 per
legislator, last July. All they get
now is round-trip carfare once a
week, with no allowance for ex-
penses.
With important legislation in the
hopper, paying the way of the leg
islators in order that they may at
tend to the states business is i'm
peratiye.
1t is especially important for the
liquor control special session, as 90
votes may have to be mustered in
the lower house in favor of emer-
gency passage of the liquor control
law, so that it will take effect at
once, instead of at the end of three
months.
Furthermore, free feeds and lodg-
ing at the expense of lobbyists are
going to be scarce. After the recent
lobby-hunting expedition of County
Prosecutor Hoskins, lobbyists are
going to be gun-shy.

passed at the opening of the special
session, on definitely limited basis
Opinions may differ as to whether
the members of the 90th general as
sembly deserve any more pay. But
whether they do or not. the state
has got to bring them back to Co.
