PAY CUT PLAN
WITHDRAWN
BY BRATTON
Substitutes Amendment, Not
Voted on Yet, to Empower
Cabinet to Act

Threatened with vigorous
opposition to his proposal to
make it mandatory upon de-
partment heads to reduce de-
partmental appropriations by
5 per cent, Senator Sam G..
Bratton (D.) of New Mexico
today withdrew his amend
ment to the Treasury-Post Of
flee bill and introduced a sub
stitute proposal to confer
authority on Cabinet officers
to make the necessary re-
trenchments. -e
Senator Bratton withdrew his
amendment after Senator James
Couzens (R0 of Michigan threat
ened to fight any proposal to
give department heads authority
to reduce Government salaries
fixed by law. 1t was admitted
that the Bratton amendment
would confer such authority on
department heads.
Blaine Opens Fight
Introduced yesterday, the Brat
ton amendment to the Treasury
Post Office bill was designed to
save 100000 on the supply
measure. Applied to all appro-
priation bills it would have saved
$130,O00,O0O, according to Sena-
tor Bratton.
Senator John j. Blaine (R0 of
Wisconsin raised a point of order
against the amendment last
night which was sustained by
Senator George H. Moses (RO
of New Hampshire, president pro
tempore. Bratton appealed from
the ruling of the chair and the
appeal was to have been voted
on today.
He withdrew his amendment,
however, and offered the Substi-
tute.
Aimed At DiSmiSSaIS
Under the original amendment
the Secretary of the Treasury or
the Postmaster General would
have been forced to reduce the
total appropriation for his depart
ment by 5 per cent. The reduction
could have been made in any bu-
reau or by reducing salaries or
forcing dismissal.
Under the terms of the Substi-
tute the executive heads of the
departments would make the re-
duction only in the event they be-
lieved it advisable. No vote was
taken on the substitute, but prob
ably will come up later today.

Tennessee Senator Refuses
To Discuss Speculation;
Says He Talked Debt

WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Feb.
2 NN.S. ).-Puzzling silence
by Senator Cordell Hull of
Tennessee as he left the Roose-
welt conference table today
stirred strong wave Of
speculation that he would be
the new Secretary of State.
The Tennessee Senator re-
turned to the Little White
House" this morning to confer
Jointly with the President-elect
and Prof. Raymond Moley, econ
omist.
Before departing for Washing
ton to continue the formulation
of the war debt program, Senator
Hull declined to affirm or deny
reports he would be the Secre-
tafy Of State. He said:
II only discussed the gen.
eral economic situation"
The belief grew here today
also that women are to get
greater consideration in the. new
Government lineup. This belief,
based on talks by some of the
Roosevelt high command, has
strengthened the conviction that
Miss Frances Perkins, New York
State commissioner of labor. will
be the new Secretary of Labor.
Arrival today of Robert Dur
ham, Chicago industralist, led to
the belief he would get a diplo-
matte post, probably at Berlin.

Outlines Program

BERLIN, Feb. 2 (I.N.S.).
With his policies before the
nation in the shape of sweeping
plans for rehabilitation of agri-
culture and relief of unemploy-
ment, Chancellor Adolf Hitler
modified his forces today for
the elections which he hopes
will enable him to wipe out the
"disgrace and humiliation" of
the last IA years.
Taking the cry, "Hindenburg
and Hitler" as their slogan, Nazi
leaders throughout the country
embarked upon the election cam
paign, aided by government
edict prohibiting Communist open,
air meetings anywhere in Prussia
Despite this edict and other
precautionary measures, violence
continued. Two new deaths were
reported today, bringing the total
killed since Hitler's appointment
to 10. A Communist was stabbed
to death in Berlin and a woman
was shot and killed at Duisburg
during a political alteration.
Eleven others were injured in
minor clashes between Nazis,
Communists and Steel Helmeters
in Berlin, Hamburg, Essen, Koe-
nigsberg and elsewhere.
The Anti-Communist campaign
took an active turn when Prus,
sian police, acting under leader,

mander of the Berlin detachments

Red headquarters in Berlin search,
ing the place thoroughly for sub.
versive documents and arms.
Outlines FOur-Year Plans
Two four year plans, one COM
batting unemployment and the
other aiding agriculture, an
nounced by Hitler last night in
his radio debut as chancellor,
caused a sensation.
After characterizing the misery
of the German people as terri
ble," and his legacy as chancel-
lor a fearful one" Hitler de-
scribed his two plans for re-
habilitation Of the Reich in these
words:
"The national government
will carry out the great work
of recognizing the economic
life Of our people by means
of two great fOur-year plans:
Salvation of the German farm
er with the object Oe maintain
ing the nOurishment and there
with the vital basis of the ma
tien; and salvation Of the Ger
man worker by a powerful and
comprehensive attack on un-

side Following Knocks on
Door; Police Investigate

A mysterious attack was
made on United States Sena-
tor George McGill (D.) Kan
sas, at his home in the 5000
block Thirty-fourth St. N. W.,
last night, it was revealed to-
day.
The Senator looked out of his
dining room window into the muz-
zle of a double-barreled shot gun
helded by an unseen assailant, he
admitted today.
Knocks on the Door
At a loss to account for the at
tack, Senator McGill said:
1--WE were sitting at the din
ner table, my wife. my daugh.
ter, and myself. and listening
to the radio, which is In the
dining room. I heard q knock
at the front door, went to the
door, and found no one there.
81 looked outside, but could
see no one, and returned to the
table. A few minutes later
there was a second knock, and
again 1 went to the door and
found no one there.
Held BY CrOuched Man
"There is a large French
window in the dining room and
a few moments later / heard o
noise at the window. Leaving
the table, I stepped to the
window and pulled the lace
curtains aside. / saw double
barreled shot gun, as though it
were held by a crOuching man.
The barrel was waivering.
81 jumped away from the
window. threw the light switch
on the wall, and turned out the
light SO the man could not see
to shoot. Then / teIephOned
police.
"When they arrived, they
found footprints and marks in
the ground outside the window,
indicating that the man had
crOuched on one side, and that
is why / did not see him.
HAS NO ENEMIES
II am at a loss to explain the
affair. 1 do not believe it was
robbery, because the man knew
we were home, and robbers as
a rule do not carry shOtguns.
1T may have been an attack
on my life, but l cannot under.
stand why, as / do not know Of
a single enemy in the world"
Mrs. McGill is convinced that
the aSSailant was an assassin in
tent on killing her husband. She
said:
"The man was no rObber. He
carried a SaWed-Off shotgun,
and no rObber does that. That
Is a killers weapon.
II have done a great deal
Of hunting, and / know a shot
gun when 1 see one.
II stepped to the window
when the Senator did, and I
saw the shotgun.
TRIED TO GET HIM OUT
81 believe that the man hoped
that when he tapped on the
window, the Senator would
again go to the door and step
outside, So that he could get q
good shot at him.
