EXEMPTION IS ASKED
FOR Low SALARIES
Head of Postal Clerks Association
Would Spare Wages Under
$S3.33 a Month.

Another plea to exempt from the pay
cut those Federal employees whose
monthly eaynings will not exceed $S3.3a
has been sent to President Roosevelt
by Thomas r. Dolan, president Of the
United National Association Of Post
once Clerks.
In support of this request, copy
Of which also went to Budget Director
Douglas, Mr. Dolan cited a message
which he explains was received from
a union representative in one OF the
large post Offices. It reads:
''On March l3 a COMMITTEES OF four
clerks called upon the postmaster to
ask his permission to solicit funds foF
the relief Of destitute subclerks. Due
to lack of work the subs pay checks
have shrunk almost to the vanishing
point and, as this condition has 'ex-
isted for some time, many are in dire
need. Clerks are asked to subscribe
a monthly contribution of whatever
they can afford to this fund.
"A committee Of eight clerks Is now
being formed to pass on relief apph-
cations and distribution Of funds. The
plight Of the substitute Is indeed un-
happy. theoretically he has job
therefore he can get no help from the
Citizens Relief Fund to which postal
employees have literally subscribed. Sc
we must take care Of him, as he Is one
Of US. When the subscription list
reaches you, sign up for the best you
can"

SHORTAGE TRACED
TO ILLEGAL LOANS
Unauthorized Grants in Park
Savings Reported in
Investigation.

A series Of unauthorized loans Is re-
ported to be partly responsible for the
shortage uncovered by Government in
vestigators at the Park Savings Bank,
following the suicide Of its executive
vice president, Robert s. Stunz.
An effort is being made to trace these
loans with view to learning If the
names signed to the notes were f1c-
titious. The loans were said to have
been unsecured. Apparently the notes
were Cancelled before the loans were
repaid, and records were altered ac-
cordingly.
Credit Necessary.
Funds of the bank were dissipated
in this way and presumably by other
methods over period OF about four
years, 1t Is understood. The total
shortage IS expected to be somewhere
between s500,000 and $1,600.000. A
complete audit of the accounts of all
depositors for several years back Will be
required to determine the exact status
Of the banks assets.
Special accountants OF the United
States Bureau of Investigation are
working night and day on the records
Federal officials decline to discuss the
various reports regarding Developments
in the inquiry. It is known that United
States Attorney Rover is keeping tab
on the progress of the investigation
with a view to taking any legal action
deemed necessary by the findings.
Reports Found False.
Published reports that investigators
have found two sets Of books-one
showing actual deposits Of customers
and another showing secret and illegal
Withdrawals from these deposits-are
without foundation, The Star learned
today. Only the two regular control
ling account" and depositors' ledgers
have been found. A comparison ir
these accounts has revealed a discrep-
ancy of approximately $780, 900. but
until the accuracy Of many suspicious
entries can be established the actual
loss will not be known.

The bill, Miss Perkins said, would
not put men to work at 81 day on
jobs now done by So labor.
This will put men to work on prof.
ects that would not be undertaken in
the next 10 years" she said.
Won't every private industry say

merry asked.

piled, because it doesn't make sense.

Miss Perkins added that the Govern
ment should ''use every influence" to

One of the committee members asked
II it would not be harmful to separate
families by sending men away from
their homes to the proposed forestry
camps.
In some cases it would be a good
thing for the family to make that di-
vision" Miss Perkins replied, as the
committee laughed.
Il don't think you need to worry
over the effect on family life" she
added.
Chairman Walsh interrupted the
hearing to allow Miss Perkins to repeat
and condense her testimony for the
talking movies.
She said the bill would provide "a
practical form of work relief for zoe, 900
or 250,000 men"
1T will put zoe, 900 men to work with
in few months" she added. Some
employment at least could be given by
the end Of April or the first Of May"
The committee adjourned until to-
morrow after hearing Miss Perkins.
Today's committee hearing was the
hrst congressional test for Mr. Roose-
velt's plan for recruiting 250,00O jobless
men in a civilian conservation corps.
The plan was outlined at length last
night at White House conference
At the outset Of today's session, Rep
reSentative Byrns Of Tennessee, the
Democratic floor leader, asked for quick
committee action and gave assurance Of
prompt consideration in the House.
He said the House would be ready to
take the bill up the day after the COM
mittee approved it.
Chairman Walsh Of the Senate COM
mittee also promised disposition would
be expedited, but Chairman Connery of
the House Labor Committee said he
planned two days of hearings.
The first witness was Stuart, who said
there are 16l ,000, 900 acres of national
