NEW WIRE DRAG
FINDS BODY

The body of Donald Mackay
Frost, jr., of Boston, which was
located in the wreckage of an air
plane on the bottom Of the sea
off Massachusetts,, was found by
means of a wire drag developed
by the United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey for just such
work, the Commerce Department
announced today.
The body of Edward Mallinck-
rodt, Sd, of st. Louis, drowned
with Frost when the plane car
rying the two Harvard students
CT pleasure cruise plunged into
the water off Bass Rocks, Mass,
December 20, is still being
grappled for with the wire drag,
Dragging with ordinary hooks
in that section is futile because
of the many large stones which
protrude from the ocean floor.

NEW j. 8. JOBS
To Be SCANT

There will be only about 5000
appointments made this fiscal
year to the executive classified
civil service, as compared to
$4,000 last fiscal year and 10000
in preceding normal years, the
Civil Service Commission re-
vealed today.
The Economy Act is largely re-
Sponsible for the great reduction,
because of it's ban on filling of
vacancies except when absolutely
necessary and then only through
Presidential order.
1t was also stated that the vari-
Gus rosters for Federal jobs have
never been so full as now, and
that the Re-employment Register
comprised of furloughed employees
is adequate to take care of
practically all Jobs.

COUNTY'S ROAD
PROGRAM To
CONTINUE
No More Bond Issues Needed
to Finish Montgomery
Highway Project

Montgomery county's 1888 high
way construction program will be
carried out as planned without
further bond issues, it has been
announced.
When completed, all sections
of the country will be linked to-
gether in continuous routes.
Carrying out of the projects will
give work to many unemployed
of the county and will make more
markets available to farmers, be-
sides distributing the flow of
traffic more evenly.
Among the larger items are the
completion Of Massachusetts,
Avenue from the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, north to River
Road and west to Conduit Road
by way of Minnehaha Valley; the
widening of Wisconsin Avenue
from the District Line to Brad
ley Lane to rs feet between curbs,
with a 100-foot right-of-way, in
volving parkways and sidewalks
along each side, and the removal
Of car tracks to the center of the
avenue and the switching of poles
to the sides, with the track grade
conforming to the street level;
paving of the street car track
area on Connecticut Avenue, be-
tween Bradley Lane and Chevy
Chase Lake and the completion
of paving Columbia Boulevard ad-
jacent to North Woodside and
Montgomery Hills.
The completion of Philadelphia
Avenue, too, will mean much af.

Of HINES
Matter Being Kept Very Quiet,
But Looms As Problem
for Legion Heads r.

Officials of the American LIE.
gion are faced by two big prob
lems--first, that of meeting the
demands of members who want
the bonus paid, in a situation
that many believe makes such
payment virtually impossible, and
second, that created by the action
Of the Veterans Administration
In eliminating numerous legion
members, drawing disability allow.
ances, from the Federal rolls.
It was learned today that the
latter situation is becoming an
acute question Of policy, particu-
larly in the Southern States.
Col. James A. Gleason, q legion
official of Tennessee, has aroused
much comment in that State by
his explanation of Veterans Ad-
rlinistration policies, which have
been instituted with a minimum
Of publicity.
Legion heepS han0S OIL
The bonus question. of course,
is not new. The disability allow
ance question, however, has just
afisen. The legion did not spon-
sof the legislation under which
these allowances are granted. It
was introdu 3ed by Representative
Royal c. johnson (R) Of South
Dakota, went through Congress
with Republican blessings, and was
approved by President Hoover.
Throughout the legion maintained
q 'hands-off" policy.
= The proposed reductions IN dis
ability allowances, according to
Colonel Gleason, will amount to
$4,000, 900 q month for veterans
throughout the country, $50, GOO
q month for Tennessee, and s., 600
q month for Knox county in that
State, his own county.
Brig. Gen. Frank D. Hines, 1t
is said, has authority under the
law to institute the changes Of
which Colonel Gleason complains,
but, according to the Legion Off
cial, these plans are being kept
very quite because "they are
afraid of the howl the veterans
viii set up."
x 100000 Vets Affected
Heretofore veterans with Is
per cent disability have been
granted allowances. It is said
that by combining various small
disabilities. men Of the age Of
the average veteran could be
fairly certain Of getting $21 a
month or so, and feeling that the
way was too wide open, the Vet
erans Administration decided that
some actual disability Of real i'm
portance should be a prerequisite.
3 General Hines ordered revision
of disability allowances about two
months ago, but claims are only
now beginning to be reviewed. Ac-
cording to Colonel Gleason, about
800 900 veterans in all will be
affected.
National officials of the Legion
have taken no part in the move
;ment Colonel Gleason appears to
be initiating, thus following out
their original policy of silence so
lar as disability allowances are
concerned.

other members Of the house COM
mittee are preparing to introduce
q bill embodying some OF the
subcommittee recommendations.
The latter measurue is expect
ed 70 include the main principle
Of the subcommittee bill, but
will not strip the commissioner
of all his authority and duties.
There are members of both
houses who believe that the agri-
culture department should be re-
organized, but they are not will
ing to 90 as far as Senator'S Hill
and Blue. nor are they willing to
support legislation that would be
tantamount TO abolishing an cleo
tive Office-holder. ..-
The Hill-Blue bill is generally
expected to bear the brunt Of the
opposition. although the present
agricultural set-Up has many sup
portsrS, anu is extremely doubt
full if either measure can be
pushed through either Of the two
houses. Anything s2iackinG of Il
short ballot IS certain to run into
powerful opposition in the pres
ent assembly. and there is also a
strong belief among members
that each department must neces-
sariiy have some form OF CEN
traiizc dauthOrity.
Under the Hill-Blue bill, the
department OF agriculture would
retain only regulatory duties
such as gas and oil inspection,
dairy and food control, while the
agricultural experiment station
of \. c. State college would con-
troll and direct all test and ex-
Perimental farms, research prof
ects pertaining to agriculture and
rural life, drainage work, and all
promotional and educational
work of an agricultural nature.
Senator Brown OF Fender is
one of the most outspoken OPP
pOnents of the movement to re-
duce the operations of the agri-
culture department, contending
that agriculture in North Caro-
lima would not benefit from the
tearing down of one institution
and the building up of another.
There are many others, how
ever. equally determined that no
drastic change in the set-up of
the agriculture department would
benefit the agricultural interests
in any way.

the opinion here, is by increasing
the sales tax to produce S12,OOO,-
600 instead of $8,000,000.
In spite of what the finance
subcommittee is doing or may
do. the belief is growing that .
sales tax will have to be enacted,
even if the state does not take
over the eight-months school
term. As result several groups
are already busy working on
various types OF sales tax bills.
Several Of these will probably be
introduced either before or after
the finance committee bill is of
fered. It is understood that sew
eral members Of The house are
working on another luxury taX
bill THAT will differ considerably
from the luxury tax bill already
introduced by Senator llinsda-c
of Wake county. Still another
group in the senate is preparing
a combination sales tax hill that
will levy q sales tax on raanu-
facturuerS, retail! sales and CON
tain brackets applying t. luXuur-
les as well. -,
This bill, it is understood, will

. RALEIGH, Feb. ID. = The
subcommittee of the joint fl

new revenue bill has not vet got
ten to any serious consideration
of auv form OF salcS t2::: and Is
stil. engaged in comGaring the
budget revenue bill with the 1881

changes it thinks sho:ld &c made,
It v.as learned DER the week

since The committee must First

cd froa al other sources in or

l,,ust got from = sales tax.
The total state budgeS now
being considered by the appro-
priations committees totals ap-
nro,.:mately S24,000,000 q year
for the next two years, even
With the drastic cuts in salaries
and expenses that arc proposed
Tut indications are that 4 very
strong effort will be made to
Get the state to take over the
cost Of the extended school term
as well a. OF the six months
school term end set Up . state
vide eight months state-support-
cd school term. II chat is done,
at lcast $4,000,O0O more must
be added to the total budget,
which will increase it to S2S,-
100000 q year.
! Present indications are, how
ever, that when the finance sub
committee gets through checking
over the suggested revenue bill
that it will not produce much
more than $16,000,000 a year,
OF perhaps not even that much.
The budget commission estimated
that the bill it recommended
would produce S20,692,00O a
year. But this bill contained in
creases over 1881 schedules to
replace" the approximately $4,-
100000 that will be lost through
the repeal of the Is cents state
property tax. Present indications
are that these increases will not
be made, with the result that if
the schedules are left about as
! they are now, the bill will not
yield more than $16,500,000. If
any existing schedules are lower
ed, the bill will not raise more
than 100000. 49,. ......
If the finance subcommittee
finds it cannot raise more than
100000 from all other
sources-income franchise, cor
poration income and license taxes
it will then have to adopt a
sales tax to make up the remain
ing $S,000,000 needed for S24,-
900, 100000 budget, as has been
suggested. But if the general
assembly decides upon state
supported eight months school
term, as seems increasingly like
Ily. the committee will have. to
add another S4,000,000 to its
revenue. The only way it can
do this, according to most of
