Park Policeman James E.
Bracey today was found guilty of
conduct unbecoming an officer
and ordered suspended from the
force without pay for two days.
He was acquitted on a second
charge of being intoxicated while

Two girl Government employees
charged that Bracey accosted
them in the Smithsonian Grounds
August 10, used abusive language
and gave indications of being in
toxicated.
He was arraigned before a newly
created park police trial board
headed by H. A. Tolson, of the
Interior Department August %
but the verdict was withheld until
today by Arno B. Cammerer, di-
rector of National Parks and
Buildings to allow time for
Bracey's attorney to submit addi-
tionaI testimony.

learned today from members OF
the District Economy Committee.
The committee has been clos

Hopes that night meetings can
be abandoned during the remain
der of the committees sitting
were expressed by members to-
day, as they took a recess holiday.
A report to the District Com
missioners reviewing finances OF
the District government during
the past fiscal year is being pre-
pared by District Auditor Daniel
j. Donovan. This report, Com

ably will be made public some

PAY RISE
DEMANDEDBY
CIVIC CHIEF
Yaden Says Federation Is Due
To IndorSe Drive to End
IS Per Cent Slash

Added impetus to the campaign
to persuade President Roosevelt to
rescind the present is per cent
cut in Federal salaries was given
today when Col. James G. Yaden,
president of the Federation of
Citizens Associations, announced
that resolution indorsing the
plea probably will be acted upon
favorably at meeting of his or
ganization tonight.
At the same time announce
ment was made that the United
States Chamber of Commerce, re-
quested by the Washington Cham
ber of Commerce to join in the
drive, would require at least two
months to determine its policy in
the matter.
Labor Move Widens
Other organizations backing
the movement, including the Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees, the
American Federation of Labor
and the local Central Labor
Union, have stressed the impor-
tance of raising Governmental
salaries Immediately if added
buying power is to be put at
work in the country at a time
when it is most needed.
In the meantime, the belief
that the Government should it.
self come under NFSA regula-
tions spurred other organizations
to rapid action on the Is per
cent slash.
Every labor group in the Dis
trict affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor has rallied
behind R. A. Dickson, president
of the Central Labor Union, IN
demand that Federal salaries be
placed on a normal basis.
To See Roosevelt
Lead by President William
Green, the executive council OF
the American Federation Of La.
bor now meeting here, is expected
to visit President Roosevelt either
today or Monday. The delegatlon
will point out that, since the 10
per cent pay cut was instituted
last April, the cost of living has
risen over 18 per cent.
Immediate abolition Of the sal
ary slash is also recommended by
the washington Chamber OF Com
merce which, under the leader
ship of President Thomas P. Lit
tlepage, local NRA chief, will ask
every business and civil organlza'
ton in the District to get behind
the movement.
Pay Rise, Only Aim
Littlepage declared today:
eve are going to request the
immediate Cooperation of the
Washington Board of Trade,
the Merchants and Manufac-
turers Association, and every
other local organization we can
find"
Explaining that no one was at
tempting to tell the White House
what it should do about con-
solidating or abolishing bureaus,
Littlepage said the primary en-
deavor of his and other organiza-
tions interested in the drive was
to bring Federal salaries back to
their former level.

BUY NOW PLAN
SUCCESS, SAY
FLORISTS
Boost in Flower Market Is
Attributed to Rise of
Optimism

September is usually dull
month in sales of flowers.
But many Washington florists
report that business is now in
creasing, and most of them at
tribute the good news to the
change in public optimism brought
about by the Buy in September"
movement and the NRA.
If people are buying more bou-
quets this month, and with few
exceptions most local florists in
terviewed by The Washington
Times say they are, it is a clear
indication that the Buy in Sep
tember" movement is helping to
bring back better times, they say.
Better Outlook
Flowers are bought only when
people need or want them, says
Mrs. Lillian M. Haynes, proprie-
tor of the Bouquet Shop, in point
ing out that the BUY in Septem-
ber" plan, sponsored by The
Washington Times and other
Hearst newspapers, seems to have
given the public a better outlook.
She states:
"ThiS may start things BOOM
ing. People now have more con.
fidence. They seem more alive,
hear no more talk about a de-
preston. Business is better now
than in August"
Marcus Mensh, secretary of
Blackstone, Inc, reports that his
company has noticed a boost in
business recently, although the
seasonal rise in flower sales usu-
ally does not begin until october.
In praising the Buy in Sep
tember" drive, Hardy Prichard of
Guide Bros, Inc. remarked:
eve favor buying at any
time"
Sales Go Up
However. Prichard adds that
his company especially favors
buying at this time. Sales have
been better recently than in the
same period last year, he believes.
and will pick up greatly during
the latter part of the month.
Asked if he favored the Buy
in September" campaign, A. H.
Chaconas, florist, answered:
"Sure. It will make things
better for everybody"
And just to prove that he was
right, he added that his sales in
the immediate past have been
better than last month.

COOPER ACTION
HELD MINOR
OBSTACLE
Regardless of Court Ruling on
U. S. Savings, Other Units
in Merger Stay

Serious delay in the opening
of the Hamilton National Bank
has been averted by Treasury
officials in charge of its organi.
zation, it was revealed today.
Litigation instituted in District
Supreme Court by Col. Wade H.
Cooper to prevent the United
States Savings Bank from partici.
pating in the Hamilton merger
will not seriously affect the or
gantization.
Whatever ruling Justice Jen.
nings Bailey may make finally
on the United States Bank situa.
ton, the Hamilton Bank machine
Is speeding on toward an early
opening.
Loans Separately Placed
When plans for the merger
were first made, Major w. Irving
Shuman, in charge of reorgani.
zation Of closed District banks,
handled each banks transactions
separately, even up to the time
when the contracts were pre-
sented for court approval.
Each conServator'S loan from
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration was placed separately.
The net result of this system
showed itself when it was dis.
closed that the work of temporar.
lily dropping Colonel Cooper's in
Stitution from the system will be
so simple that the only delay will
be a mechanical one.
It was reported today that the
$51 900 of capital stock which was
to have been provided by the
United States Savings Bank has
been pledged so that it is only
necessary to go through those rec
ords where that banks name ap-
pears and make the appropriate
changes.
Cooper Statu- Unique
Meantime the Hamilton Bank
will continue it's court fight to
bring the United States Bank into
the system and, if successful, will
be in a position to absorb its
structure in the new bank under
practically the same basis as
originally planned.
If the Hamilton Bank is unsuc
cessful in its court fight and the
United States Bank is not brought
into the merger, the position Of
Colonel Cooper will be unique, ex-
perts pointed out today, in that he
will have won a court fight, but
still will have a closed bank on his
hands, opening of which will be
up to the Treasury and the Re.
construction Finance Corporation.

Owens was just putting his key

Instead he struck at the men
and the fight started. The noise
of the battle aroused neighbors
who came rushing out and the
