With a brand new wave of sub

down from the Canadian. North

and vicinity could get no more
comforting assurances from the
Weather Bureau today than that
the cold wave here would hang

$4,000 persons.
In Washington a colored man

found fozen to death on a porch
in the 100 block Seventh ST..

Evidence that the cold wave was
still unbroken here was seen in
the number of stalled cars on the
streets, the halt in construction
on some government buildings, the
slowing up of bus and railroad
schedules, and the order of Inspec-
tor L. I. H. Edwards that all
police motor and foot patrols work
in sections overnight to give
policemen opportunity to spend
half of their time in the warmth
of station houses.

Speaker Declares Congress
Will Act This Session;
Report Due Saturday

Restoration of the IS per cent
pay cut for Federal employees will
undoubtedly" be voted by Con-
gress in the coming session, which
begins in just one week.
This statement was made today
by Speaker Henry T. Rainey as
he emerged from a conference
with President Roosevelt at the

in their conference, the Speaker
said:
Congress undoubtedly will
restore the Is per cent cut in
Federal salaries made necessary
in the last session by the cOndi-
ton of the budget"
Many members of Congress
have indicated their anxiety to
restore the pay slash and several
have declared they will fight for
legislation to this effect in the
coming session.
The President is awaiting re-
suits of a cost of living survey
conducted by the Labor Depart
ment before he determines his
policy on this matter. The sur
vey will be given to him Satur-

Farley, in his first press confer

today struck back at Senator
Norris, who recently attacked the
Democratic patronage dispenser
for holding two jobs. Farley is
also chairman of the Democratic
National Committee.
Farley did not deny he was max
ing poStoffice political appoint
ments, but stated that had been
the custom for years and that the
procedure could not be con-
demned. Farley said:
"The Civil Service jobs in the
pOStOffice have not been touched
with any political tinge. In
some cases where we have ad-
vanced men and women from
Civil Service jobs to what are
termed exempt jobs people get
the idea that they are still un-
der Civil Service, while in fact
they are not. It is certainly not
our intention to fill Civil Service
jobs with political appoint
mentS."
Farley said he would confer
later this week with the President
regarding the latter's request that
certain postoffice jobs be placed
under Civil Service.
The Postmaster General stated
the appointment of a U. S. dis
