liked my Job. That's why I've stayed"
An amateur athlete of some note in
his day, Smith has been able to pre-
serve an unusual health record. He
has been away from his post less than
30 days all together in his years Of
continuous service. Rowing on the
Potomac and distance running were
his favorite sports, and there are those
still who remember the fleet figure Of
Andy Smith at the old Brady gym
nasium en- the south side of Louisiana
avenue, between Ninth and Tenth
streets.
A familiar figure since he came to
the Capitol a few months before the
Forty-fourth Congress convened, while
U. S. Grant was President, Smith pro-
vides one of the few remaining links
with the past on Capitol Hill. Those
men who were once boys, pages and
young secretaries of past years, come
now to speak Of common friends with
Smith. They have become doctors,
lawyers, Senators, Representatives.
Governors of States themselves. They
bring their families; they have chill
dren who are pages now, on the Hill.
II came even before the Hayes and
Tilden trouble" Andy Smith will say.
Thomas w. Ferry of Michigan was
President pro tenn of the Senate;
Michael C. Kerr of Indiana was
Speaker of the House when I came.
That is long time ago, yes. But, you
see, I've always liked my Job"
Evening star., 1934-10-21

When he first came to the Capitol
neither Senator nor Representative
had private secretaries as they dc
today. There was no fund, no pro-
vision for them. A Congressman, if
he were wealthy enough, brought his
own or hired one for the term. Other
wise, he had to take pot luck with his
less fortunate colleagues and seize
upon the services of one of the various
committee clerks.
In emergencies, members of Con-
gress pressed into clerical duties any
one who happened to be handy. Smith
often was called in this way.
Thus. early in his long career, hi
became familiar with the important
legislators and public figures of the
day.
THE whole atmosphere and sur
roundings were of the finest sort" he
says. MY contacts were the best that
the country could offer any one. ]

highest type of men from all over the

the one thing in which the

namely, the building up of an
American industry, the future
of which is unlimited if properly
conducted through the aid of
mail contracts with efficient
service and adequate safety Of
the planes"
Senator Warren r. Austin
CRO of Vermont, a member of
the air mail investigating COM
mittee, said it would be "a great
step backward to permit the use
of single-motered planes"
Browns Way Cited
He pointed out that former
Postmaster General Brown had
given added credit to companies
whose planes were most effici-
emily and safely equipped with
modern devices. He continued:
"The moment you recede
from demanding the use Of
safety and efficiency devices to
permitting the contracts to be
awarded solely on the prOpO-
sitiOn of carrying the mail, you
60 back to where we were be-
fore the Watres Act.

SALARIES
PAYMENT DATE
IN DOUBT
Bookkeeping Changes Hold Up
Settlement; Bureaus Rush
Adjustments

While hundreds Of thousands
of Government employees we're
happy in the ruling of Comp
troller General McCarl for prompt
payment Of their retroactive sal
aries, uncertainty prevailed today
in most of the Federal depart
mentS as to when their restored
salary checks would be ready for
them.
Despite the Comptroller's deci-
sion late yesterday ordering i'm
mediate payment Of the addi-
tional salaries, diSbursing officers
in a majority of the departments
were unable to say how long it
would be before the payoff.
Complications in fixing up the
payrolls were the immediate cause
for uncertainty. The disburSing
offices in practically all the de-
partments have begun work on
the lists which will restore per
cent of the salaries retroactive
to February /.
No Extra Pay Today
Although it was thought posi-
BILE that some Of the retroactive
salaries might be included in to-
days pay checks, none Of the de-
partments was ready to include
the supplemental pay.
The Commerce and State de-
partments were ready to pay off
some time next week, but the
Agriculture Department stated
that it had had no word from
the Comptroller General and con-
sequently could make no state
ment whatsoever.
D. C. To Pay Soon
The District government, how
ever, expects to be able to pay
the S per cent restoration by
April 10, and maybe sooner, if
the lists arrive in time.
The mechanical difficulties of
preparing the supplemental pay
rolls were causing great anxiety
in the departments, with fur
loughs, leaves of absence, and
other technicalities adding to the
burden.

SCHOOL NEEDS
TOLD BY ZOOK

Emphasizing the need for ade-
quate means Of financial support
for the nations school system,
Federal Commissioner of Educa-
ton George F. Zook, has cited the
closing of ITO public schools in
the country, through which nearly
2O0,O children have been denied
schooling.
DR.. Zook spoke over an NB.C.
network under auspices of the Ma
tional Congress of Parents and
Teachers.
The educator also pointed out
that beside the number of schools
closed yearly, there are about
1900 others open three months or
less during the school year.
He condemned the political ma
neuvering" in certain legislatures
to withhold funds from public
schools.
