PAY FIGHT GAINING
CONGRESS BACKING
Babcock Reports Dozen Answers
on Queries Favorable

The fight for restoration Of Gov
ernment pay Is continuing to gain sup
port from members Of Congress, In
the poll being conducted by the Ameri-
can Federation of Government EN-
ployeS, 1t was shown today when addi-
tional returns were made public.
An even dozen answers were received
by e. Claude Babcock, national presi-
dent, to queries sent to Senators and
Representatives, all Of which were IA
vorable. Representative Pou, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina, announced
himself for restoration "at the earliest
practicable moment" but the others
did not qualify their replies, and q
number emphasized that it was illogi-
cal for the Government to hold down
ing private industry to do just the op-
posite.
Senator Logan, Democrat Of Ken
lucky, said that he always had con-
sidered the percentage cut "unwise."
Representative Kenney, Democrat Of
New Jersey, said that 1T seems to me
the President intends to recommend
that the salary of Government en-
ployes be restored to the level before

SEEK TO ELECTR|FY
PUMPING STATION
|. ONBRYANT STREET
D. C. Commissioners to Ask
Approval of Estimates Be-
fore Budget Bureau.
MODERNIZING IS NEEDED
TO PREVENT BREAKDOWN
Now Functions to Boost Pressures
During Peak Load
Periods.

The District Commissioners, it was
learned today, plan to go before the
Budget Bureau and urge approval Of an
item in the 1885 estimates for the re-
habilitation and complete electrifcation
Of the Water Departments Bryant
street pumping station.
A vital unit of the water distribution
system, the pumping station, unless
modernized, 1t was said, might confront
a major portion Of the city with serious
danger by a breakdown Of its obsolete
steam turbine driven pumps.
Constitutes Fire Protection.
This station now functions to boost
pressures during peak load periods. and
constitutes the only assurance to con-
sumers, except those in the downtown
business and residential areas. of water
supply and fire protection in event Of
a major breakdown or electrical power
failure al the main pumping station
at the Dalecarlia Reservoir.
In 1881 when District officials adopted
a program for modernizing and rehabil-
itatipg the Bryant street station to in
sure an adequate and uninterrupted
supply OF water to large section OF
the city. one modern electrical pumping
unit was installed. Funds for continu-
ing this program, however, have not
been appropriated. despite a large sur
plus each year in water revenues.
It has been estimated that the pump
ing station can be completely modern
lied for approximately 100000. This
sum, it was said, will provide for re-
placement Of the six steam-driven units
with five modern electrically-d driven
pumps and abandonment of all high
pressure steam.
According to District officials, the ex-
isting steam pumps are unsatisfactory
for emergency use because they were
designed for discharge pressures much
lower than those now required in the
various pressure areas.
Held "Stand By"
Although the Bryant street station
at the present tirre is regarded as q
stand by" for emergencies, plans pre-
pared several years ago by the United
States engineers office, which has
supervision of the supply system. and
the Distrit Water Department, which
has charge Of the distribution system
contemplate its use in the future FOL
absorption Of all future increased
pumpage demand.
The Dalecarlia pumping plant. 1t was
explained, is restricted by physical
limitations to meet q large increase
in pumping demand. On the other
hand, the Bryant street station could
absorb this increase by pumping from
the MCMILLAN Park filter plant. which
has an unused capacity Of $4,000, ,00C
gallons q day.

| preparations. Four supply depots were
| set up northward to Franz Joseph
| Land and three more stations were
established on the northeast coast Of
Greenland, to be used on the return
plentifully supplied with COAL food and
other equipment.
Ship Did Not Arrive.
Baldwin and his men went into the
north to await the arrival of a supply
ship bringing chiefly coal for the de-
pots. There were no radios or airplanes
with which to contact civilization in
those days and expedition endured a
long wait in silence. The ship, due to
mix-up in orders, did not arrive and
the party found itself facing six
month siege of Arctic Winter with in
sufficient fuel and other supplies. Bald
win, FRANTIC, began to send aloft mes
sage balloons in the hope that his plight
would become known to the world. In
stead of drifting southwark, however,
the wind carried the balloons far into
the north.
Returns to Receive Messages.
A number of these balloons or the
message buoys attached to them were
recovered years later at far-fung points
in the Arctic. One of the first to turn
up was found by some NorwegianS in
1905, but Baldwin long since had man
aged to guide his men back to safety.
One was recovered last year by the So
Wet Arctic Station at South Novazem-
bia. Baldwin had said that more than
| Is of the messages were returned to him
during the ensuing years, to remind
him intermittently of his narrowing ex-
periences on the ice.
On his final expedition Baldwin took
the first motion pictures ever made in
that frozen wilderness. These pictures
excited great interest at the time.
Before Baldwin could finance and or
ganize another polar expedition, Peary
reached the Pole. Baldwin made no
further effort to invade the Far North
after that.
Became Suspicious Of Germans.
Prior to the entry of the United
involved in an incident which played
part in the recall of Count -. Papen
and Capt. Boy-Ed by the German
government, upon request of the Ameri-
can Government. Baldwin had made
arrangements to go to Europe and had
received from a German ship line
official. letter of introduction to Ger
man military authorities in Belgium,
where he desired to visit Baldwin was
asked to carry also several other letters
for delivery to the German officers, but
when disclosure was made that German
officials in this country were sending
messages to Germany by passengers on
neutral vessels, Baldwin became sus-
picious and reported to the White House.
During his latter years Baldwin had
been employed in the library of the
Navy Department. Then came the
economy act, to cut him ruthlessly
from his sole source Of income. His
| friends raised strong protest against
this move, but to no avail.
Despite the ingratitude shown him
by Uncle Sam. Baldwin did not openly
manifest bitterness. Reluctantly he ac-
cepted the favors of friends. He was on
his way to accept a dinner invitation
with one of these friends last night
when the oblivion came.

"Technocracy," said Prof. Fisher. "is
