SENATE RECEIVES
NEW PAy-CUT PLAN
Treasury-Post Office Bill,
Carrying Added Slash,
Is Reported.

The Treasury-Post Office appropria-
tons BILL carrying the general economy
program, was reported to the Senate
this afternoon by the Appropriations
Committee, following an unsuccessful
effort made in committee today to have
the proposed additional pay cut of l25
per cent for Government employees re-
considered.
The Appropriations Committee ap-
proved the pay cut, which is in addi-
ton to the present 81s per cent fur
Tough, last week When the committee
met today to take final action on the
Treasury-Post Office section of the bill
Senator Davis, Republican, of Penn
sylvanla, urged the committee to recon-
slider the additional pay cut in the gen.
eral economy section of the bin. He
was supported by Senator Oddie, Re
publican, of Nevada. but no change was
made by the committee
May Open Fight on Floor.
There were indications this afternoon,
however. that fight against the addi-
tional cut would be made when the
economy program is taken up in the
Senate later in the week. Although
they are attached to the Treasury Post
Office bill, the pay cut and other gen.
eral economy features will apply to the
entire Cove nment service.
The plan is to take up the deficiency
appropriat on bill tomorrow because of
the urgeno need of some of the items
1t contS-,s, with the economy program
likely to come up about Thursday.
The Treasury-Post Office supply bill
carries approximately 1851 100000 for
the two departments for the next fiscal
year. Only few changes were made
by the Senate committee in the items
for these departments, except as they
may be affected by the general economy
program.

DENIES AGREEMENT
|. ON DEBT REVISION
StimSon in Letter to Senator
Reed Declared Hoover Made
No Promise to Laval.

Denial that President Hoover had
made any commitment whatever look
ing to debt cancellation or revision to
M. Laval, prime minister of France, at
the conferences here between Mr.. Hoo
yer and Laval, was made by Secretaries
Stimson and Mills in letters to Sen
ator Reed Of Pennsylvania, made pub
lie today.
Senator Reed had inquired of Sec
rotary of State Stimson as to the de-
tails of the discussions between the
President and the former French prime
minister, after Chairman Borah of the
Foreign Relations Committee charged
on the floor of the Senate that Mr..
Hoover had given some kind of COM
mitment or understanding to Laval
regarding revision or cancellation Of the
debts.
Letter Dated January 5.
The Stimson letter, which Senator
Reed placed in the Congressional Rec
ord, was dated January S. The letter
from Secretary of the Treasury Mills
was placed in the Record by Senator
Moses. Republican, of New Hampshire,
The Stimson letter follows:
My dear Senator Reed:
Il have received your. inquiry as to
the discussions which took place last
year between President Hoover and M.
Laval. According to my recollection,
and that is quite clear, so far as these
discussions touched upon the subject
of debts and reparations they were lin
tied entirely to temporary steps which
might be taken to Offset the effects of
the depression.
M Lavals position was that any
such steps, if taken by France, as to
reparations should be limited entirely
to steps taken within the provisions of
the Young plan, which he insisted must
continue in full force and effect. This
in itself indicated that any remedial
proposals would be of temporary ma
ture.
Based on Capacity to Pay.
The President based his own posi-
ton upon the long established Ameri-
can position that the payments Of our
war debts were not in any way con-
tingent upon German reparations and

PROBE IS BEGUN
INTO A|RMA|L
SUBSIDIES

A Senate inquiry into ocean
and air-maile contracts to de-
term1ne in particular whether
foreign interests control Amer
lean shipping lines was inaugu-
rated today by the Black special
committee.
A. G. Patterson, former presi-
dent Of the Alabama public SER
vice commission, launched the
investigation by sending out a
QUESTIONABLE to all American
shipping lines and aviation COM
panieS now receiving subsidies in
the form of mail contracts. Pat
terSon will serve as special coun-
sci for the committee.
Financial Data Asked
The questionnaires called upon
the air and ocean lines to file
q complete statement of corpo-
rate finances. The companies
were asked to state how they
had been financed, what invest
ments they had and particularly
whether they owned or controlled
any foreign lines.
he committee, headed by Sen
atUr Black CD of Alabama. was
intent on learning whether ship
ping companies were organized
on loans from the Government
to operate lines of vessels later
purchased from the Shipping
Board and paid for with the sub
sides obtained on mail contracts.
The Senate also was curious
about competition between sub
sidized shipping lines. The COM
mittee was instructed to deter
mine whether the government
was paying out subsidies in mail
contracts to competing lines, at
a cost far in excess of what
would be necessary to maintain
service on one line.
Ship Subsidies Come First
The foreign angie of the ship
ping situation will be probed
thoroughly. The committee was
anxious to know whether foreign
interests own or control American
shipping lines, now getting mail
contracts, or whether the Amer
ican lines owned foreign ships.
The inquiry will touch not only
direct ownership but control
through interlocking directorates.
The aviation phases of the
inquiry will be taken up later.
