Mellon Paintings Held
BVBOard of Trustees

Andrew w. Melons famous but
secretive collection of art, hailed
as one Of the most extensive
and valuable private collection in
the world, again has become the
current topic of discussion in the
art world.
The former Secretary of the
Treasury has turned his paint
ings, etchings and museum pieces
over to a board of trustees for
disposal and it is rumored they
will be quartered here, either in
the millionaire'S Massachusetts,
Avenue home or in a special gal
lery to be erected.
LOOph0le In Denial
Reports yesterday from New
York that the collection would be
moved from his spacious Pitts
burgh home to the Capital were
quickly denied by Mr.. Mellon.
He left a "loophole" in his state
ment of denial, however, saying:
''The trustees have absolute
discretion to dispose of all of
these paintings for the benefit
Of the public by either public
gift, exhibition or sale. When
any decision is made by the
trustees, it will be announced"
Two motives for a move have
been advanced by art dealers.
The first is that he would want
to be remembered in Washington

REPORT
To GOVERN
j. S.PAY
Members of Congress Too Busy
To Make Own Study, Must
Depend on Federal Survey

Statistics to be compiled by
the Department Of Labor in De-
cember showing how much the
cost of living has risen during
the past year will play an import
ant part in the drive to restore
Federal salaries to their pre-
economy act level on January l.,
it became apparent on Capitol
Hill today.
Veteran Congressman who last
year favored restoration of part
or all of Federal salaries have
been far too occupied with the
recent campaign to study living
costs, members point out.
They have to rely entirely upon
the Labor Departments report
in deciding whether or not they
should return the remaining S
per cent cut as of January l, or
wait until it is automatically re-
turned July l by expiration of the
economy act.
New Members, Too
New members, meantime, will
have little to guide them when
they tackle the problem other
than the pending report.
Representative Louis Ludlow,
Democrat, of Indiana, reflected
the general sentiment when he
said today:
81 have been far too busy
with my campaign to pay very
strict attention to the problem
Of Federal salaries.
IL voted to override the White
House veto of the Independent
officers supply bill last year, and
am prepared to 20 even farther
as SOON as ] am, convinced there
is an actual rising tide of living
costs. go.
II share the general impress
sion that the cost of living has
risen to a marked degree, but
not having statistics before me
can only wait until the Depart
ment of LabOr's survey is COM
pleted in December"
Representative Ludlow will take
a seat in the House for the fourth
consecutive Congress when the
Speakers .gavel falls on January
3. He is especially known as the
first newspaper correspondent in
the history of the country to go
directly from the press gallery to
seat in the House.
Borah Plans Farley
Senator william F.. Borah (R.)
of Idaho, who has promised to in
troduce a bill restoring Federal
salaries to 100 per cent level on
the opening day of the session,
meantime has been too busy max
ing plans for an investigation of
Federal relief agencies to confer
with representatives of organiza-
tons sponsoring pay returns.
He indicates, however, he will
call such conferences within a few
days in order to pave the way for
his pay return bill.

TAXPAYERS ASK
LOCAL MEN ON
D.C.PROJECT
Lusk Opposes Hiring Of Labor
From Relief Rolls for
Sewage Plant Jobs

Asking that local labor be used
exclusively in the construction OF
the 100000 sewage disposal
plant, Rufus S. Lusk, secretary OF
the Washington Taxpayers AS
ISOLATION today protested the EN-
ployment of persons on relief rolls
in the work.
In letter to Engineering Com
missioner Daniel I. Sultan, Mr.
Lusk urged that the Commission
ers insert a provision in all con
Struction contracts that employees
must be residents of the District
The letter said:
"It has been stated that one
of the purposes in spending four
million dollars for the sewage
disposal plant is the creating Of
employment. Since 20 per cent
of the cost of this plant comes
directly from the taxpayers of
the District of Columbia it
would seem only fair that all
local work should be done, as
far as practicable, by those who
are paying for its construction"
The only exceptions mentioned
by Mr.. Lusk were in the cases of
executives or specialists employed
by contractors.
Mr.. Lusk stated that relief Ia
Dor would be more expensive, and
that if persons were taken from
the relief rolls, there would be an
incentive for unemployed to ap'
ply for relief.

he believes the Pittsburgh climate,

that Washington is well equipped

GOTH YEAR Of
PRIESTHOOD
Hierarchy Presents ChaIiCe
and Scroll as Token of
Esteem for PreIate

Catholic bishops of America to-
day expressed their esteem for
his eminence, William Cardinal
O'Connell, dean of the hierarchy,
who is celebrating the golden
jubilee of his ordination into the
priesthood, by presenting him
with a golden chalice and parch.
ment scroll bearing their names
and addresses.
The presentation was made at
a luncheon in Caldwell Hall,
Catholic University, at which 80
bishops and the members of the
faculty of the school were present.
Save for the presentation, the
luncheon was informal, being the
regular luncheon held during the
annual conference of the bishops
here.
The Most Rev. Michael j. Cur.
ley, archbishop of Baltimore and
chancellor of the university, pre-
scented the token of esteem to
Cardinal O'Connell.
LaudS Career
The chalice, the cup of which Is
gold and the base silver, bears the
inscription:
"To His Eminence, William
Cardinal O'COnnelI, from the
American Hierarchy"
At the base is the coat-of-arms
Of the archbishop of Boston and
the dates-1884-1934.
The parchment scroll, which
was presented on behalf of the
university, praised highly the ca
reer, wide knowledge and album
dant foresight of the cardinal,
saying:
$50 enriched and strength
ened by half q century of de-
voted labor i'm the hottest of
causes, you have not only ex-
banded your talent to good ef-
feet, but have also gathered for
those who are to follow you
in the priesthood, a precious in.
heritance. May it grow with
the years."
Expresses Thanks
Expressing sincere and deep
gratitude for the honors con-
ferred upon him and the tributes
paid to him by his fellow-bishopS,
the cardinal, in accepting the
chalice, said:
II am proud beyond words
of being one with you in labor,
in devotion and in love. Our
folds are different, our work
and hope are the same. United
by faith to the See of Peter,
in all things spiritual, we are
united in devotion to the cause
of Christ, the welfare of Amer.
lea and the peace of the world.
Under that banner of unity
and love we shall go on like
our predecessors with perfect
trust and perfect faith and
confidence in God to the work
before U.S."

Externally the building is not
unlike the other classical, pedi-

neighbors, except that it is
handsomer than the rest and
shows interest in elegant detail.
The lights at the doorWayS,
for instance, are brazierS sup

those at the Congressional
