Consideration.

Representative Palmisano. Democrat
of Maryland, chairman o. the judiciary
Subcommittee of the House District
Committee, favors disbarment of attor-
neys who pay fees to bondsmen for
sending them clients. he said today.
Attorney John P. Mullen, during the

Palmisano and other members of the
Judiciary Subcommittee urging them
to push through the House the King
bill. recently passed by the Senate,

District.
Replying to that letter today, Repre-
sentative Palmisano said:
II do not know just what the COM
plants are in the District, but from
the tone of your letter it seems that a
bill should be passed disbarring these
attorneys who are paying fees to bonds
men for soliciting business. I am
satisfied that the bondsmen would not
solicit business for an attorney unless
there was some consideration for him
to do so''

RESOLUTION TO ASK
WAGE RESTORATION
Montgomery Civic Federation
to Consider U. S. Workers.
Salaries Tonight.
BY JACK ALLEN,
Staff Correspondent of The Star,

BETHESDA, Md, January ga reso-
luton urging Congress to return salaries
of Government employees to the scale
paid before the Federal economy act
was adopted, when the current fiscal
year expires, June 80, will be presented
to the Montgomery County Civic Fed
Grafton for consideration at its meet
ing in the Bethesda Elementary School
here tonight.
The measure, prepared by the Com
mittee on Legislation and Legal Action,
opposes continuation of the economy
act, in so far as it relates to the salaries
Of Government workers after June 80,
and also opposes any other legislation
which may be designed to reduce Fed
eral wages. 1t will be submitted by E.
c. Algire, committee chairman.
Salaries Cut sh Per Cent.
Under the terms of the act in its
present form the salaries of all. workers
carried on the regular pay roll who re-
ceive from 1000 to $4,000 year were
reduced 8ls per cent through the me-
dunn of depriving employees of their
30-day annual leave and compelling
them to take "a days, furlough during
the year without pay, while the salaries
of all workers receiving $4,000 or more
were cut 10 per cent.
Congress is urged in the measure to
return to the old plas of granting Fed
eral Government workers their regular
30-day annual leave with full COM
pensation.
Substitute Resolution.
The resolution is to be offered as a
substitute for the measure introduced
at the December meeting by Hugh M.
Framton, and which was referred to
the Committee on Legislation and Legal
Action
Framton's resolution directed the fed
Grafton to reafflrm its previous action,
opposing the reduction of salaries Of
Federal employees as recommended by
President Hoover in his recent message
to Congress.

GIFT TAX APPEAL LOST
BY BRAWNER EXECUTOR
Decision Disallowing Claim In
volving Stock Valued at
$37, 675 Is Upheld.

The District Court of Appeals, in an
opinion by Chief Justice George E. Mar
TN, upheld today the action of the
United States Board of Tax Appeals.
Wnlcn had declined to allow a claim of
the Lincoln National Bank, as executor
OF the estate Of John w. Brawner. The
claim was that stock distribution of
1907 shares of the Emerson Drug Co.
valued at $37,675, and received by
Brawner in 1926, was a gift and prop
erly omitted by him from his tax re-
turn of that year
Brawner had excluded the item on
the theory it was a non-taxable gift.
The commissioner of internal revenue
contended it was a dividend and not a
gift and should have been included in
the return. The Board of Tax Appeals
sustained the latter view and the ex-
ecutor appealed.
The court ruled the decision of the
board was correct.

officials to Confer.
Meantime there were reports that
certain voluntary constructive steps of
a nature not yet disclosed were about
to be taken as result of conferences
between Federal and District officials.
While opinion still differed over the
cause of the fire, the theory of "sabot-
age" is discounted by Fire Marshal
Calvin LAUDER, who has received spe-
cial reports on the threat received by
foreman of carpenters.
Detectives who had interviewed the
foreman reported to the fire marshal
that the foreman had not taken the
threat seriously, and still was of the
opinion that the fire started accident
ally. The foreman had received a
threatening letter, it was said, from a
man who had been dismissed from the
job.
Water Shortage Denied.
Acting Fire Chief Charles E. Schrom,
after receiving reports on the supply of
water available to fight the fire, said

water were without foundation. He
said survey showed that there were
about go fire hydrants within reach of

Only $500 Jobs in

Average Heretofore
About 10000.

The force with which the economy
act has hit Government employment
was demonstrated today at the Civil
Service Commission when reports for
the first half of the fiscal year showed
only approximately $500 appointments
had been made throughout the entire
executive classified service.
On this basis the appointments for
the year would be 5000, in comparison
with the general average of 10000
Every position filled this year has been
by direct authority of the President
and only where it was deemed abso-
lutely necessary that such action be
taken.
While the new employment figures
have not been broken down." it is
believed that for the most part, those
workers added to the rolls we're brought
in where new services were established
such, for instance, as the opening OF
a new hoSpitaEand the turnover in
the various governmental establish
ments was very small.
