The Navy Department today
agreed to put its airship landing
facilities at Lakehurst, N. j., and
Miami, Fla. at the disposal of DR..
Hugo Eckener, the famous Ger
man Zeppelin commander, when
he inaugurates trial transatlantic
passenger service next June or
July.
Secretary of the Navy Swanson
announced the German Zeppelin
Corporation would bear all the ex-
penSe.
Secretary Swanson also dis
closed that proposals for a recon-
mendation to Congress for an ap-
preparation to replace the dirigible
airship Akron, which went down
in a storm, are under considera-
ton by naval boards.
He saiu the Navy Department
has received conflicting reports on
operation Of the Airship Macon,
now on the Pacific coast. Some of
the reports indicate excellent per-
formance and great value in scout
ing work, while others, from naval
officers, take the opposite view.

Pre- ent Roosevelt was
asked what other effect an in
crease in commodity prices
would have. He replied that
it should be coupled with less
difficulty in paying debts.
In other words. President Roose
velt sees better times, and is will

ing to the vast army of workers
of which he is chief the hard
cash which was Topped from the
pay rolls at the beginning OF the
gloom of the ominous days OF TIE
Hoover administration and again
in the spring of 1888, when the
economy act was one OF the Tea,
lures of the reconstruction and
reform of the New Deal.
Pay was cut 8 1-3 per cent be-
fore President Hoover left office
The full Roosevelt cut of IS per
cent took effect in April, 1888. a
few days after Inauguration.
There have been two part resto
rations of S per cent each, one IN
February last and the other in
July of this year. Since that
time there have been rumors and
publication of reports on the sub
ject of restoration. but President
Roosevelt today finished the mat
ter. He practically made the
subject his first message to the
next Congress.
The policy of cutting Govern
ment workers pay while other
huge expenditures of the Govern
ment remained in force, or were
not curtailed proportionately,
raised a violent protest from one
end of the country to the other.
Protests Widespread
At the time of the first cut
there were indications of panic on

the part of many of the highest
officials. 1t was pointed out to
them that private industry would
slash salaries and deplete pay en-.
velopeS in harmony with Uncle
Sans action.
Organizations of workers,
through their leaders here, pro-
tested that pay cuts took on de-
featist tinge that made it appear
the Government had been licked
by Old Man Depression.
In addition to the 8 1-3 per cent
pay cut of the Hoover days, there
was also proposal for paylesS
furloughs which stirred up a fac.
tional fight in Congress.
Thousands Suffer

House and Senate pointed out
that while the Government was
chipping off from S. to SIS q

remedial agencies were dishing

whom would have disappeared
under the sea of troubles that en-
gulfed them.
The pay cuts, although the
dollars -per-month per day check
might seem small, actually brought
suffering to thousands. The sums

vented families from completing
payments on homes, reduced the

PHOENIX. Ariz., Oct. 81 Q.N.SJ
Police today were admittedly with
out clues in their search for trace
of the person who slugged, robbed
and probably fatally injured a
school teacher here. Miss Ora Lee

her skull fractured, on the floor Of
her class room. The seventh
grade teachers purse had been
opened and robbed of $40 and a
diamond ring had been torn from

the ring as he fled. A hammer,

The gods of fortune smiled on
Mrs. Mary Booth, an employe OF
the division of insolvent national

First she won $4,000 on the
Irish Sweepstakes. And then she
received almost half hundred
proposals of marriage.
But she smilingly turned down
the offers of marriage-for
rumor has it that she is en-
gagged and will be married in
the spring, all of which she would
neither confirm nor deny.
Mrs. Booth, who is widow,
will only get half of the $4,000
she won on her $3.50 ticket.

they will each get $25, ,000-less Of
course what Uncle Sam and the

shape of taxes.
No sooner was the word spread
around than Mrs. Booth received
congratulations - and proposals.
She accepted the former, but not
the latter.
One newspaper photographer
interrupted swapping her picture
to propose. But Mrs. Booth, a
slender Irish girl, refused the offer
as she posed for the picture.
Will Keep Working
She intends to keep on working
despite her good fortune, she said.
This was the first time she has
ever won, she admitted, although
she has purchased other tickets.
She said:
