$50 GIVEN JOBS
BY ROCKVILLE
CWA PLAN
,572 in All Seeking Work
Registered at Maryland
Town, Says Manager

Registration of 1872 persons
eking employment was an
nounced yesterday by George w.
Davis, manager of the United
States unemployment office at
Rockville, Md. At the same time,
Davis announced, $50 persons al
ready have been given jobs by
the bureau including those placed
on the Civil Work Administration
payroll.
It was pointed out that all
who want work with the CWA
projects must register at the en-
ployment office if they are to be
considered. as it is the only
agency m aking appointments.
Due to the fact that so many
applications for projects are be-
ing received by the CWA COM
mittee, Davis stressed the fact
that it was most advantageous
to register as soon as possible
so that the vacancies may be
filled just as fast as they occur.
Because the projects listed
under civil works may not ex-
haust the list of registered un-
employed, private employers are
urged to call the office in Rock
vile whenever they have work.
Men in all trades are registered.
The office is open daily from 7
a. m. to S p. m. in the old
courthouse at Rockville. The
telephone number is Rockville 81.

PAY CHANGE DUE
|NNEW UNITS

Pay in the Federal emergency
units will be made to conform to
scales already in effect in the
older Government agencies, within
the next 80 days, according to
William H. McReynolds, chairman
Of the committee classifying emer
gency jobs, and those emergency
workers who have not already re-
ceived is per cent pay cut have
it coming to them.
The purpose is to put all Gov
eminent employees on the same
footing. Salaries as established
for the new agencies will conform
to basic salaries on sirnilar Jobs
in the older bureaus, but employees
will be paid IS per cent less than
the list salary.
The new scale is already in ef-
feet at the NRA and all workers
will be reclassified by January /.
Under certain conditions. en-
ployes may get more than the
scale established for the emer-
gency units. This will apply mainly
in cases where the present rate
is higher than that they would
receive normally under the new
scale.
Messengers will fare better un-
der the mergency unit scale than
under the one in effect in the
older agencies. The Gull salary
in the regular Government estab-
IShment is 5000 a year. but in the
emergency unit scale it will be
$40.

REFORM DELAY.
OPPOSED At
HEARING
Michigan Senator Objects
To Liberalization of
GIaSS-StegaII Act
BY international News Service

Banking reforms proposed by
Winthrop w. Aldrich, head of
the Chase National Bank, at the
Senate banking inquiry provoked
opposition today, although mem
berS of the Senate Banking Com
mittee studied them for possible
inclusion in future legislation.
Senator CouzenS (RD of Michi-
gan was the first voice heard.
He opposed Aldrich'S recommen-
dation for extending the time
limit on the divorce OF affiliates
from commercial banks.
Aldrich asked for a longer
period than tie one year, which
started last summer, for liquida-
ton Of the assets of the d.
vorced affiliates.
Couzens also opposed the Aid
rich suggestion for liberalizing
the divorce provisions of the
Glass-Stegall act. With other
members, he agreed Aldrich had
given the committee some valu-
able but not revolutionary pro-
posals.
Slap at Wiggin Seen
The Aldrich demand for a
Federal ban on national bank
loans to syndicateS, pools, and
trading accounts met with ap-
proval.
This was interpreted as an
Aldrich condemnation of policies
pursued by Albert H. Wiggin as
head of the Chase Bank, since in
the Wiggin regime he bank
loaned more thar 100000 to
gyndicates and trading accounts.
It's losses from such pans to
Fox Film and Genera! Theaters
Equipment Syndicates totalled
500 100000.
Aldrich was credited with hav-

"AIdrich'S recommendations
have merit. I think they 1ep-
resented a genuine effort on
his part to be helpful"

MISS KATHERINE WOODWARD AT GRAVE
Pushmatoha, Only Red Man Ever to Serve
in H. S. Army as Brigadier General,
Has a Remarkable History

Buried beneath a modest red
sandstone shaft in one of Wash
ington's oldest cemeteries, and
well-nigh forgotten by the people
whose history he helped shape,
there lie the remains of one of
the Red Mems greatest chief
tainS.
He has gone, long since, to the
Happy Hunting Ground, but his
spirit hovers over a lichen-cov-
cred corner of the Congressional
Cemetery and mingles with the
memories of other pioneers whose
names are craven in the heart Of
their country.
He is Pushmataha, Choctaw
brave who ought side by side
with his American allies during
the War of 1912 only to fall VIC
tim to an enemy few Of his coun-
trymen have Survived-a white
mans disease. And he is the only
Indian chieftain shown by the
records to be buried in this city.
He might well be called Push
mataha the Benevolent. For, un.
like the fierce Shawnees who re-
sented the white mans invasion,
he not only welcomed the intrud-
ers as they pushed his people re-
lentlesSly westward from Alabama
and Mississippi, but copied their
customs and did his best to ele-
vate his tribe to the level of the
whites educational and cocial
stature. It was he who first
baked at treating squaws as beasts
O. burden. and accorded them the
,nSideration he noticed the white
man gave his wife.
When the War of 1912 broke
out and the British sent Tecum.
sch to stir UP the Indians against
the Americans, it was Pushmataha
who defeated the famous Shaw
nee orator with his own gift Of
speech, and prevented the Choc-
tawS and their kinsmen, the
ChickasawS, from joining with
England.
Later he enlisted his braves in
the service of the youthful re-
public and fought in all the bat
ties up to and including that of
New Orleans, the last of the con-
flict. Tecumseh himself was
killed leading a forlorn charge
