DECLARES UPHAM
Navigation Bureau Chief
Cites Active Duty Although
on Retired List.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
The fiat statement that Rear Admiral
Richard z. Byrd worked for and
earned" the retired officers pay he has
been criticized for accepting was made
yesterday by Rear Admiral F. B. Up
ham, chief Of the Navy Bureau Of Nav
igation.
Upham's declaration was IN letter TO
Representative Ludlow, Democrat, of
Indiana, who had forwarded to the
officer constituents query on Byrds
pay status.
ACTIVE duty pay" was the way Up
ham identified the money which SEN
ator Robinson, Republican, of Indiana.
recently told the Senate, Byrd. ito be
sincere" as chairman of the National
Economy League, should return to the
Government.
Robinson opposed activities Of the
league in advocating annual reductions

Showed Injury to Leg.
An examination made in 1916, eight
years after Byrd had entered the Navy,
Upham'S letter said. showed a leg in
jury that incapacitated him for sea
duty because he was unable to stand
4-hOur watches on warships, and 1t was
that he be retired One
of the leg bones, Upham said. had to be
mailed together"
His retirement was imperative" the
letter continued. He was called back
to active duty. though on
the retired list. so that during these
years he was not receiving retired dis
ability pay. He could fly an airplane,
though he could not stand watches re-
quired by law for an officer not on the
retired list"
Admiral Upham said It must be made
clear that the law requires that an Of
ficer, to remain on the active list Of
the Navy, must be able to stand four
hour watches on warships.
This Admiral Byrd could not do -
he repeated. His services, however,
were needed by the Navy and he was
requested to serve on active duty. His
duties required long hours of work
which he could do, but did not require
standing watches at sea-"
Entitled to s4,5oo Yearly.
The rear admiral said Byrd Is en-
titled to receive $4,500 salary per year,
minus a deduction of 8ls per cent In
accordance with the economy act Of
1892.
From the above it is evident that
Rear Admiral Byrd was initially placed
on the retired list of the Navy on ac-
count Of injuries received in line of
duty" the letter concluded. He was
requested Immediately to come back
on active duty, and had % years service
on active duty status. Though not on
the active list, his status was the same
as that of any other naval aviator
that Of obeying whatever orders he was
given by the Navy Department. His
pay, therefore, was active duty pay and
not disability pay. He worked for and
earned his pay"

BOSTON, January Calvin Cool
idge's rise from the estate OF a small

until the Boston police strike in Sep

Whatever might actually have been

hundreds of thousands of persons here
and in other sections of the country
who recall the strike and who attribute
its suppression to the swift and unre-
lenting action of the man who later
became the Nations Chief Executive.
The exterior facts of the police strike,
however. remain indelibly burned into
the memory Of every adult Bostonian
who witnessed the events.
Policemen Organize.
They recall the long controversy
which ragged between the then police
commissioner, Edwin u. Curtis, and his
disgruntled policemen, who chafed un-
der what they considered i'll treatment
in respect to wages and working condi-
when finally the policemen asserted
their right to join a labor organization.
The policemen did organize and then
became affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor Some Of the
ringleaders were suspended as a result,
and then came the strike

Hearings on the La Follette-C -Costigan
bill to distribute $500, ,OOo. 900 among

more than S45,000,000 under the law,
she said it is estimated the State in

She added that il the relief admin

Building Interests Hit.
Paul " Betters, executive director
of the American Municipal Association
of Chicago, asserted highway build

bear upon State governments to pre-
vent applications for relief loans.
He said he knew of three States.
which he did not name, in which
''road interests" have descended upon
the Governor" to induce him not to
seek a loan. He added that this was
done because such loans are to be re-
paid out of future Federal aid high
way funds, and the road builders feared
there would be less highway censtruc-
ton If the loans were granted.
Contending the present law forces o
