PAY CUT APPLIES
T0CL0SED BANKS
Conservators, Receivers and
Other Employees to Take
IS Per Cent Slash.

Because they are classed as Govern
ment employees, conservators, receivers
and their assistants In local banks must
take Is per cent pay cut under the
economy act, according to decision by
Controller General McCarl.
The ruling, rendered to Secretary of
the Treasury Woodin, affects a large
number of persons In the 13 banks
which have been in the hands of con-
servators since March IA and in the S
banks which have been in receivership
for longer period.
The controller general held that the
new economy act was different from its
predecessor in regard to salaries paid to
so-called Government employees, where
the money comes from sources outside
Of the regularly appropriated funds in
the Treasury Department.
Under the previous economy act all
persons whose pay was derived from
banks or from other sources outside the
Government were exempt from the pay
cut Of 81s per cent and the consequent
furlough. Only those persons specifi-
cally named In the new act are exempt
now, McCarl ruled.
The money paid to conservators and
their assistants, however, it was empha-
sized In Official circles, does not come
out OF appropriated funds, but must
come from the assets Of the closed
banks
Meantime Walter J. Cummings, exec
utive assistant to the Secretary Of the
Treasury, continued his task Of at.
tempting to release the more than $780,
000, 900 In deposits tied up In the closed
banks here
Mr.. Cummings said his organization
Is hard at work on the problem, but he
can offer no prophecy a. to the exact
time element involved.
Among the many who called to see
him yesterday, was Col. Wade H.
Cooper, president Of the Commercial
National Bank, who headed q commit
tee Of five representing depositors of the
bank. Col Cooper said he had laid be-
fore the Treasury oficial q plan for
reorganixng and reopening the bank.
This plan had been approved ct . pre-
vious meeting Of the committee.

hear 10 men have been sent home for

weirdly exaggerated before it has gone

the 18th Infantry. There the first two
or three days, at least, will be spent
putting up a camp and getting every
thing in order for the actual work in
the forests. The men are anxious to
get those axes in their hands.
The Army officers say the men are
showing fine spirit. They are willing

they are proud of having been selected
as the model forestry unit-the first

 For Thursday, Friday and Sat- urday another picture, that will be talked about for some time to come will be the first feature, and all the adjectives in the entire dictionary could not do the proper credit to this picture but just a few of the highlights will show what may be expected in Gabriel over the White House" the most timely picture ever made.
 While the title of this picture may lead some to believe that this is a religious theme there is noth- ing of this sort in the picture, it is going to be the sensation of the nation, being the talkie drama of a presidential career and to those who look for motion picture en- tertainment that combines an en- crossing romantic plot with tense melodrama of actual headlines of today's news, that is what you will receive in Gabriel Over the White House." and which will be the outstanding picture of the year.
 Taken from an anonymous novel, which is already literary sensation the novel. appeared early in February and is now in the best seller class.

Smart Society
 Play at Garden

Satirical, smart and witty, "Our Betters," showing at the New Gar den theater today and tomorrow is a clever adaptation of W. Son- erset Maugham's sophisticated drawing-room drama and a very ef- fective vehicle for the glamorous Constance Bennett.
 Neither Connie nor her gowns have ever been lovelier, and her histrionic talents disclose 8 new subtlety, revealing her an actress equal to any role.
 Despite the fact that Miss Ben- nett is almost constantly on the screen, the picture is not exclu- siyely hers. The cast is imposing in number and importance, and Violet Kemble-Cooper, Anita Louise, Gilbert Roland Grant Mitchell. Charles starrett. Minor Watson, Phoebe Foster and others are tremendously effective in the interesting assortment of charac- ters.

Lee Tracy Is
 Strand Star

Lee Tracy in "Clear All Wires" is the feature attraction on the Strands double program to-day and tomorrow. Tracy is seen as Buckley Joyce Thomas, the ir- repressible and irresponsible news correspondent who steals his em- ployer's chorus girl sweetie, takes her to Moscow where he tries to invade the Red Army, who frames" a big scoop when he's fired, stages a shooting that goes wrong, gets a bullet himself, is arrested by the Russian secret po- lice, and after countless comical complications escapes the 1aw-but finds himself unable to escape ma trimony.
 Tracy has never been seen in a more likeable characterization. The supporting cast includes Benita Hume, Una MerLel and James Gleason. There are many laughs in "Clear All Wires" but this re- viewer seemed to find his most hi- larious moments in the scene in which Tracy devises the murder that goes wrong, in his antics in trying to escape from the police and in the situation of the pub- fisher, the chorus girl, and the harassed journalist who. do what he will, can't get rid of her. All told, "Clear All Wires" is the most diverting comedy to reach the screen in many a moon. The companion feature Is "Our Betters" starring Constance Ben- nett and one of the finest pictures she has yet given the talking screen.

 This is the third of series of four hands played by the famous Bidrite club team in winning the Eastern championships at New York this year.
 Today I want you to meet the other two members of the Bidrite team-Mr Howard Schenken and MT Charles Lockridge. Mir Schen- ken is the one player who has had the unusual distinction of having his name engraved as winner on both of the National Masters gold cups of the American Bridge league.
 Last year he won the Willard S. Karn gold cup for the 1ndi- vidual National Masters Cham- pionship, and the year previous he and his partner, MT Burnstine, carried away the National Masters Contract Pair championship for the Won Zedtwitz gold cup. MT Loch- ridge is a young player from Att lanta, Ga, and is recognized as ! one of the leading contract play CTS of the country.
 At their table South passed. MT Lochridge in the West passed, l and North did not elect to put in the psychic third hand bid. but passed.
 MT Schenken in the East open- ed the contracting with one club. MT Lochridge put in a one over one force of one spade. North now stepped in with bid of two hearts, but it was too late to con- vey the needed information to each other.
 MT Schenken jumped to three spades and MT Lochridge in the West boldly bid four spades, which South doubled. MT Schenken in the East redoubled. The Play. North's opening lead was the queen of hearts, which was won with dummy's ace. A small spade was led, South winning with the
