ing further restoration Of pay 10 the
Government workers are insisting upon
an immediate increase In the pay Of
employees receiving small salaries. Sen
ator Borah Of Idaho II outspoken in
demanding full restoration Of the Is
per cent cut to employees receiving UP
to $4,000 q year, even II q further cut
has to be made In the salaries Of the
better paid Government employees.
Senator Capper Of Kansas today de-
clared himself supporter Of immedi-
ate restoration Of an the pay cuts.
II favor immediate restoration Of the
salaries OF Government employees" he
said IF this cannot be accomplished
Immediately, Congress certainly should
ttake steps to provide for return to
basic salary schedules on July /, the
beginning Of the next fiscal Year." the
kansan continued.
Senator Capper Is especially anxious
to see salary relief afforded to the
large number Of Government employees
in the lower wage brackets. He said
these groups Of employees will be par
ticularly hard hit II the buying power
OF the dollar is diminished in the near
future without an accompanying re-
turn VI all or part OF the pay cut.
Legion Program Outlined.
Legion oficials ngure restoration ol
service connections for war disa bility
as it existed In the World War veterans
act would cost In the neighborhood u
$40 900 900, perhaps somewhat less dur
ing the f1rst year. They explained that
there were 1ve cates0rios which they
were emitting from ths proposal.
These are: !. Veterans who enlisted
after the armistice. 2. Cases where serv-
ice connection had been established by
fraud, error or Misrepresentation. 5
Veterans whose disability the Govern
ment can prove occurred before or after
military service 1. Veterans who have
died since the economy act. 5. Veterans
who are IN hospitals and as q result
have had their compensation reduced
to SIS month.
The recommendation OF the Legion
that only those veterans be denied re-
storatiOn Of service connected disability
where the Government can prove dis
ability occurred before or after military
service Is regarded Of grave importance.
Under the economy act. the shoe is ON
the other foot and the veterans have TO
prove their disability occurred during
their military service.
Dissatisfied With Set-up.
The American Legion is not salts
fed with the operation Of boards
set-up last Summer to pass upon the
service connections Of disability in the
many "presumptive" cases attacked by
the economy act. These boards have
restored only AZ per cent Of these pre-
sumptive Cases To the rolls, and have
removed permanently So per cent.
The estimated cost OF the pension
plan for the widows and orphans OF the
World War recommended by the Legion
is So 000 900 the first year and $40 .000.-
900 thereafter Widows would receive
SIS q month and widows with children
would receive s. additional for the
first child and 50 for each additional
child.

IdSc.D
of Congress from lobbying before Gov
ernment departments
Legislation may arise also from q
reiteration by Senator Norris, Republic
an of Nebraska, that he was opposed
to 'the chairman of the National Com
mittee of any political party being in
the Senate, the House or the Cabinet -
Farley will continue his work with the
National Committee until a new chair
man is found, and no successor ap-
peared to be Immediately in sight.
The disclosure that he wishes to be
released followed succession of resig
nations of party officials. 1t had no
connection, however, with the criticism
President Roosevelt made several days
ago of party officials who were practic-
ing law in the Capital. Farley is not
lawyer and his forthcoming resigna-
ton was described as influenced by his
desire to be able to devote his full time
to his department.
Predicts G. o. P. Support.
The Congressional interest in legis-
lation to ban political lawyers from
practicing in the Government depart
ments Is manifesting itself under a
friendly attitude from the White House
Senator McNary of Oregon, the mi
nority leader, predicted lot of Repub-
lican support for the legislative move
Representative Byrns of Tennessee. the
Democratic leader. said the roposed
act had much backing in the house.
The bill by Senator Vandenberg, Re-
publican, of Michigan, prohibiting pa-
tional committeeman from accepting
Government positions as well as pre-
venting them from practicing law be-
fore the departments, would affect
among others, Everett Sanders, chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee Arthur Mullen of Nebraska, a
vice chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, and w. w. Julian o1
Ohio, who is treasurer of the United
States.
King Heads Committee.
There is no intention Of barring party
officers and members of Congress from
practicing before regular courts, but
the feeling is apparently strong to cut
down on these men in any cases in
volving the governmental agencies.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
named a subcommittee headed by Sen
ator King. Democrat, of Utah to con-
slider the Vandenberg bill. Other mem
bers of the subcommittee are Senators
McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada and
Norris.
Although Farley will withdraw from
the national Craftsmanship, his friends
believe he will hold, at least for time
his post of chairman Of the New York
State Democratic Committee.
Farley held the State chairmanshiI
for several years before the advent o1
the Roosevelt campaign, and its re-
sulting seating of big Jim" in the

emergency purposes during the
coming winter.
The financial operation will
boost the public debt to another
record high level-$28,2 ,201 ,000, 900.
The World War only pushed the
debt to 261a billion, including
IL billion of loans to the Allied
governments.
Americas actual debt increase
on its own war costs was 13
billion, there having been a debt
of about a billion dollars April
i, 1917. The debt at the begin
ming of the depression was some.
thing over Is billion. It is con-
templated that the increase will
be around $15,OOO,OOO,OOO, since
President Roosevelt estimated
that by the end of the current
fiscal year the public debt would
be more than $31,8O0, 100000.

sufficient obligations to retire

cent certificates.
Morgenthau authorized an
offering of $450,000,000 in 3b
per cent bonds callable in Is
years and maturing in 18 years
for cash. There was a cash
offering Of the same amount in
1b per cent Treasury notes ma
turing June IS, 1886.
In addition there was an ex-
change offering of 21s per cent
notes maturing June Is, 1889,
for the maturing $992,000,000 in
2A per cent certificates.
Holders of the maturing certifi'
Gates also were given the option
of exchanging them for the 1B
per cent notes. Morgenthau re-
served the right to increase this
issue by a sufficient amount to
meet all subscriptions for which
maturing certificates were ten
dered in exchange.
On December Is the Treasury

as interest on the public debt
and receive substantially the
same amount as income taxes
