PAY CONFEREES
DELAY ACTION

Battle-scarred and politically
heckled, the Independent Offices
Supply Bill today faced a further
two-day delay in its slow progress
down the road to Congressional
approval, due to the absence
from the city of two members of
the conference committee which
is to. settle House and Senate
differences.
It was announced today by
Senator James A. Byrnes CD Of
South Carolina, a Senate con-
feree, that Senator Carter Glass
(D) of Virginia, a member Of
the Senate conference group, will
not be in town today, and that
Representative Clifton Woodrum
CD of Virginia, a House con-
fierce, will not be in the Capital
tomorrow. He said the conferees
will meet Wednesday.
sands" Plan Due
The Government pay provision
has almost ceased to be classed
as a controversial subject before
the conferees, with a majority of
the conference representatives
from both houses known to be
virtually decided on reporting
back a recommendation for i'm
mediate restoration of S per cent
of the pay cut and an additional
5 per cent on July /.
Capitol observers pointed out
that although the Senate position
calls for full reservation of the
salaries beginning July 1. the
upper chamber will yield on this
point to the House sands plan.
House Firmness Cited
Two reasons are given for an
ticipating this result. One is
that the House has stood firm
on two votes for its resoration
and the Senate will yield to the
House because of fear of that a
greater increase may not be &C.
cepted by the President.
The other reason is that some
full restorationists in the Senate
who also are friendly to the vet
erans feel that by agreeing to
the House salary provision, they
can get more for the veterans
than the House thus far has been
willing to give.

Senator 0'Mahoney Proposes
Drastic Plan to Prevent
Future Scandals
BY International News Service

A new system of Govern
ment aid to commercial avia-
tion, in which the payment
Of subsidies would be d.
vorced entirely from carrying
the air mail, was proposed to-
day by Senator O'Mahoney
(D.) of Wyoming, a member
of the Senate Post Office
Committee.
Senator O'Mahoney, a former
Assistant Postmaster General in
the Roosevelt administration, in
dicated he would introduce a
bill embodying this system as a
substitute for the Black Nickel
lar air mail measure. He said:
81 have become convinced
such a proposition is entirely
sound. 1 have talked with
several other Senators, who
agreed to support it,"
Air mail operations were re-
sumed on a modified scale by the
Army Air Corps today. eight days
after President Roosevelt ordered
curtailment of flying owing to the
rapidity with which 10 mail flierS
had met death.
Undaunted by the death of an
other flier almost on the eve of
the resumption of operations,
nearly 200 of the Corps aces took
over the task of flying the eight
cross country air routes.
17O Planes In Use
Within the space of few hours
later, others took off from prin-
cipal cities. Approximately ITO
of the Army's crack military ma
chimes were scheduled to be car
rying the mail before nightfall.
However, only eight routes were
being operated as compared with
the 18 the Army covered during
its first attempt. They are:
Boston to New York, New
New York, New York to Chi
cago, Chicago to Dallas, Chicago
to San Francisco, Salt Lake
