PARIS tP.-Last-minute changes In

eve OF Spring fashion shows because
Of . shortage of British tweeds and
woods resulting from the restrictions of
1884 French import quotas.
The situation has caused a furry

models will be left out Of the fashion
shows, others made up in French
woods, which have a different texture

. softer, less severely tailored line.
Under this years quota the French
importation Of pure wool British fabrics
is limited to go quintals (of 220
pounds EACH for the first quarter, in
contrast to 2,553 quintals imported
during the entire year of 1882 (the lat

able).
Furthermore. say Paris representa-

turers, pure wool fabrics may be
brought into France only when accom-

through a department of the French
ministry Of commerce. The result,
they said. is a tangle of French red

.Mest branch of the Fidelity Build

Eleventh st. S. w., this morning,
escaping with $3.50.
William S. Herndon, branch

NAVY PLANS CUT
IN OFFICERS

Reduction of the peace time
allowance of staff officers in the
Navy Department and the use Of
postgraduate line officers to per-
form junior duties of the staff
corps have been recommended
by a Navy Department board as
part Of the reorganization pro-
gram planned by Secretary Swan
son, it was learned today.
Among staff corps affected by
the reduction are the medical
corps, to be reduced from 1907
to 745; chaplain's corps, from
149 to 76; construction corps,
from 275 to 140; supply corps
from $50 to 440, and the civil
engineer corps from 11O to 80.
The officers strength in the
Marine Corps would be reduced
from 1908 to 991.
The recommendations have
been approved by Secretary
Swanson, and according to high
Naval authorities, have been
accepted by President Roosevelt.
The only step now necessary
to make them effective, Assistant
Secretary of Navy Henry l..
Roosevelt said, will be to alter
the Navy Department regulations
to conform with them.

3 AND 5 PAY.
RESTORATION
PROBABLE
Conterees Expected to Accept
House Compromise Giving
10 Per Cent Return

General opinion on Capitol
Hill today was that the plan
for immediate restoration of
5 per cent of the Federal pay
cut and an additional 5 per
cent restoration July l would
prevail, as the independent
offices bill was again placed
before the Senate.
Senate leadership plans as to the
procedure which will be taken
towards ironing out the House and
Senate differences in the bill were
indefinite.
Senator Joseph T. Robinson CD
of Arkansas, majority floor leader,
said it is his understanding that
the Senate may either act on a
motion to concur in the House
amendments on pay cut and vet
erans provisions before sending the
measure to conference, or move to
send the bill directly to confer
ence and permit all differences to
be worked out by the conferees.
Modified In House
The House originally voted to
restore per cent of the pay cut
July /. The Senate modified this
to restoration of per cent retro
active to February l, and an addi-
tional 10 per cent beginning July
/. Yesterday, the House agreed
to restore 5 per cent February l
and an additional per cent on
July l.
In the opinion of Senator Ben
nett Champ Clark (DD of Mis-
souri, who is well known as a
parliamentarian, should the bill
be sent directly to conference by
the Senate, the entire question
would be open for settlement by
the conferees. He explained, how
ever, that in his opinion, the
House action yesterday is tanta-
mount to instructions to its con-

RULES
Bidders Must Use Materials
Made Under Agreement
With White House
By International News Service

President Roosevelt today
strengthened the backbone of
NRA enforcement by placing
strict limitations on the use
of funds borrowed from the
Government.
BY Executive order, the Presi-
dent prohibited the Government,
or any municipality or unit, from
using Federal-loaned money or
from entering any contracts or
using any materials not manu-
factured under conditions comply
ing with NRA codes or the PreSi-
dents blanket employment agree
ment.
The order provided exceptions
only where the recovery ad"
ministrator or his agents deem
such action wise in specific cases.
Otherwise, the order was the most
comprehensive document Of its
kind yet issued by the President.
It reinforced a somewhat similar
but not nearly so broad order
issued by Mr.. Roosevelt when he
was at Hyde Park. N. Y, last
summer.
Compliance Necessary
Under the order, all invitations
to bidders must contain a pro-
vision that no bid will be con-
sidered "unless it includes or u
accompanied by certificate, duly
executed by the bidder, stating
that the bidder is complying with,
and will continue to comply with,
each approved code Of fair COM
petition to which he is subject"
Where there is no approved code
for a trade or industry, the order
provided the bidder shall state
that, with respect to such indus
try, "he has become a party to
and is complying with and will
continue to comply with an agree
ment with the President under
Section "A of the national indus
trial recovery act" This referred
to the So-called blanket employ.
ment agreement between the Presi.
dent and industry.
To Decide Disputes
Today's order provided that
whenever a dispute should arise
as to a bidders compliance with

Administrator, or such agencies as

The automobile industry faces
one of the greatest strikes in the
history of the nation, William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, told the Sen
ate Educatin and Labor Commit
tee today. He said:
This situation is directly
traceable to the determination
of the employers to force work.
erS to join company dominated
unions"
Green urged passage Of the
Wagner Permanent Labor Board
bill to protect workers from the
company union system.
He asserted that a major cause
of the depression was the "inabil-
ity of wage earners and small
salaried persons in 1929 to partici-
pate proportionately in the wealth
produced through technical prog
ress."
Employers have failed to carry
out the spirit and letter of the

Brig. Gen. William Mitchell,
wartime commander of the
American flying forces, to-
day supported the Admins
tration's plan for reor-
ganized air mail service be-
fore the Senate Postoffice
Committee.
Mitchell, long known as the
stormy petrol of American avia-

provision for competitive bidding
on air mail routes, declaring,

ties asked to appear.

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh will
appear tomorrow and Capt. Eddie
Rickenbacker probably will testify
Saturday. No reply yet has been
received from Clarence Chamber
lin, famous transatlantic flier.
General Mitchell followed Alfred
Frank, president of National Park
Anyways, who told the committee
he had not been given hearing
before his contract was cancelled,
that no evidence was presented
against the company, and that he
was not permitted to question wit
neSses appearing against the COM
pany. Mr.. Frank added:
'In Postmaster General Far

mentioned as possible excep-
ton. am confident that

which has claim against the
