FEELS NAVY YARD
CUTS TOO SEVERE
Roosevelt Orders Depart
ment to Make Study With
View of Adjustment.

President Roosevelt feels the pay cut
dealt Navy Yard workers when the re-
cent five-day work week order went
into effect is too severe, and has or
dered the Navy Department to study
the matter, with a view to making an
adjustment, probably within the next
80 days.
The opinion Of the President is that
the Navy Yard workers pay cut should
be adjusted so as to give the workers
full credit for the hours actually
worked. Otherwise. the pay cut is
greater in proportion, an injustice
would be done, the President believes.
The President, while discussing the
subject at his bi-weekly press confer
ence yesterday at the White House, ex-
pressed a hope that the plan will be
worked out by the department by which
the great army Of Navy Yard workers,
about 1000 Of whom are employed here,
will lose only four hours pay as a re-
suit of the five-day week order. At
present employees now lose pay equiva-
lent to eight hours work, in addition
to the Is per cent cut under the econ
omy act.

RECEIVER SOUGHT
1FORPARK BANK|N
DEPOS|TORS' SUIT
Motion Filed in D. C. Supreme
Court Today Based on
Charter Expiration.
R. F. C. AND CONTROLLER
:; NAMED AS DEFENDANTS
Government Given Five Days to
Answer Action-Directors'
Liability Is Claimed.

Appointment by the District Supreme
Court of receiver for the Park Saw
1ngs Bank was requested in a motion
filed today by E. Hilton Jackson and
William E. Richardson, attorneys rep
resenting Joseph w. Thompson and
other depositors, for the Depositors'
Committee.
In support of the motion it was con-
tended that by reason of the expiration
of its charter, the bank has become
divested Of legal title to all of its as
sets, under the laws of Alabama, in
which State the bank was chartered
1t is further contended that, inasmuch
. as the bank has lost title to its assets,
the Treasury Department has no au-
thority through its receiver to attempt
to iquidate the assets to which the
bank cannot claim title.
Held Protective Move.
Since the office of the controller of
the currency has no longer any juris-
diction in the affairs of the bank, the
depositors claim, the appointment OF a
court receiver is necessary for the pro-
lection of their interests.
This formal motion to GUST the Treas
ury receiver now in charge of the bank
and replace him with receiver to be
appointed by the court brings to a
head the complex case of this insolvent
bank, where Robert S. Stunz, vice pres
ident, killed himself, leaving shortage
of about S1,500,000
The Government is given five days in
which to answer the motion. Defendants
in the case are the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, the controller of
the currency, the directors and stock
holders of the bank.
Claim Directors Liable.
The Depositors Committee which pre-
viously had filed two actions, the orig
inal complaint, and reply to the
answer of the receiver, John F. Moran.
claims the bank charter expired on
August 80. 1929, and under Alabama
law, the directors of the institution be-
came liquidating trustees, and are
therefore jointly and severally liable to
the creditors of the bank.
The Depositors Committee, through
its counsel, also charges that since the
bank no longer exists as a corporation
through expiration of its charter, the
directors and stockholders are liable
under a copartnership for debts OF the
institution.
In support of the motion filed today,
the depositors' counsel filed an exten-
sive complaint showing the basis for
the move for court receiver, and citing
authorities.

And If there Is still q lack Of COM

blended decorations there are concrete.
Man for many centuries has expert
mented in the realm of decoration for
his structures. One of the most re-
nowned forms of this art is the mosaic.
In this work. artists work out designs
and even pictures in color by fitting to-
gether tiny bits of colored stone, select
ing each bit for precise place in the
whole. But this sort of thing Is linn
ited to the wealthy in an age where
craftsmen must produce much for the
higher wages that come to them, and
mosaics are wrought only through the
expenditure of months and even years,
for single panel.
Decorations From Old Ruins
Archaeologists have uncovered bril-
liam color decorations on structures
they have dug out of the ruins of ages
and some of these decorative treatments
have defied present-day mans efforts
to reproduce these achievements.
But right here in Washington has
been developed an art-and an indus
try-that is not an imitation of any of
the famous decorative methods, but
one that is original, unique and eco
nomically feasible. Mr. Farley is the
artist who developed it and his studio
at 2l31 G street Is laden with the works
that will adorn structures here and
elsewhere with all the colorful brilliance
of the ancients.
Concrete, Mr.. Farley explains, has
been an accepted material for construc-
ton for many years. Its properties OF
strength and adaptability were known
but there was the problem Of its deco
ration. Experiments were made in
adding to the cement, the adhesive
material in concrete, pigments which
would give it permanent color But
these experiments produced only drab
smear of color which even the most
careful blending was unable to over
come. Mixture of more pigment meant

planned this will mean moving out the
Coast Guard from the annex to the
Wilkins Building, on H street, near
Vermont avenue into space to be
vacated by Veterans Administration
units. The Bureau of Narcotics, Treas

within that department will have to be
moved out of the annex to accommo-
date the new agencies, but where the
former are to be located remains to be
determined.
Oficials said the disbursing activities
of the Veterans Administration would
form a handspring of the new group.
The Presidents executive order on re-
OrganlZatlOn OF the GOVeInment, SSuSo

in the Treasury Department a pro-

disbursement, to concentrate these
scattered activities. 1t is expected the
old supply division of the Once OF

headed by S. j. Oliver, will be trans
ferred to the Treasury Department, in
the shake-up.
In the forthcoming moves, the
Treasury Department is expected to foot
the bill, as the Public Buildings Com

with the job of moving the Govern

when the new public buildings are
completed, next Spring.
