have not already done so, Senator Shipsteads brief
speech comparing the treatment which a husbandman
gives his workhorse and the treatment which is given
the working man and working woman in the Federal
service.
That speech in plain and simple words portrayed the
shortsightedness of the living wage theory which the
House would perpetuate.
In your conference gentlemen, you must decide more
than the matter of the expenditure of sixty million dol
lars-the difference in money between the House and
Senate positions.
You must decide on whole philosophy of treatment
of the working man, not only the working in Gov
ernment employ but the philosophy Of treatment of the
working man in all industry
THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE GOVERNMENT, AS
PREACHED BY IT'S HIGH EXECUTIVES, ON THIS
SUBJECT IS THAT THE WORKER IS ENTITLED
TO A PURCHASING WAGE-THAT THE PAY
MENT OF SUCH WAGE IS AN ESSENTIAL TO
RECOVERY.
WILL YOU ABANDON THAT PHILOSOPHY,
THUS ENCOURAGING OTHER EMPLOYERS TO
DISREGARD IT, OR WILL YOU IN YOUR REPORT
TO YOUR RESPECTIVE HOUSES INDORSE THE
PHILOSOPHY AND MOVE IT INTO THE REALMS
OF REALITY?
The Washington times., 1934-03-21

Gentlemen of the Conference:
You are holding your first meeting today in an at
tempt to reconcile the differences which have developed
between the Senate and the House the provisions of
the Independent Offices Appropriation Bill
You have followed that bill through it's various legis
lative processes and completely familiar with it's
many sections.
AS YOU KNOW THERE is DIFFERENCE IN
THE POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE TWO HOUSES
ON THE MATTER OF RESTORATION OF PAY OF
FEDERAL employees. THE DIFFERENCE so
FAR AS MONEY IS CONCERNED, Is SLIGHT BUT
THERE IS GREAT DIFFERENCE IN THE
FUNDAMENTAL REASONING OF THE SENATE
AND THE HOUSE ON THE QUESTION.
THE HOUSE HAS VOTED TO PERPETUATE
THE EVILS OF THE LIVING WAGE AS APPLIED
UNDER THE ECONOMY ACTS.
THE SENATE HAS VOTED TO ELIMINATE
THAT EVIL AND TO UPHOLD THE HAND OF THE
PRESIDENT WHEN HE DEMANDS THAT THE
WORKER BE GIVEN A PURCHASING WAGE
WHICH WILL ONCE MORE PUT HIM IN THE CON-
SUMERS' MARKET.
AS between the two positions we believe that the
Senate has the better of the argument.

7dqe J0ckeying Produces Turmoil In Federal Se1vic

We believe that by following through on the senates
the conferees would be doing the proper thing
for the entire country.
We believe that the Senates is the course of wisdom
and clear thinking.
The members of the House clearly entitled to their
view Of the situation which has arisen
There is to believe however, that the members
of the House, during the votes of that body the pay
secton swayed greatly by other conditions than
those involved in the simple matter of pay restoration
We believe that many members of that body voted for
the socaled five and five plan of restoration because
they believed that that the greatest amount that
could be carried to final enactment.
IN THAT WE BELIEVE THEY WERE AT
FAULT. IT Is DIFFICULT TO SEE HOW ANY
ONE WOULD INSIST THAT CONGRESS PERPETU-
ATE IN THE FEDERAL SERVICE A SYSTEM OF
WAGE ~JOCKEYING WHICH CAN PRODUCE
NOTHING BUT TURMOIL
The Senate, in approving the McCarran full restora
tion amendment took the view that Federal employees
well employees in private industry entitled
to something than mere subsistence as result of
their labor.
We hope that when you get around to this angle Of
the conference you will find the time to read if you

The Human Side of the News
Worlds Gold Finds Path to U. S. Assay Office
By EdUin C.. Hill

ers. The importer is responsible
for his gold up until the time
that it goes on the scales in the
assay office.
The deposit is weighed and
the owner gets a receipt for the
number of ounces delivered. The
gold is then dumped into q
graphite crucihle and melted at
a heat of 1000 degrees Fahren-
heit, after which it is cast into
bars. A few chips from these
bars go to the laboratory for the
test for parity, and there the
proportion Of gold is determined.
The deposit is weighed again
and the importer receives q
check for paper currency. Two
intricate steps remain-the re-
filming of the gold and its stor-
age. Acids and fire bring the
gold to its maximum Of SO and
99-100 per cent Of purity, and
then it is rolled into export
bars.
The gold strong room is a
massive one, four stories high,
of which two stories are below
the street level and built on
bed rock. None, but a trusted
few employees, have ever been
in that strong box. Tear gas,
pistols, Shotguns and steel
doors protect it. The combina-
tion to the vault is known by
two men and each Of these
knows only half Of it. The su.
perintendent Of the Assay Of
flee and the director of the
mint must be present at tho
checking in Of the gold and
the removal Of any Of it.
Queer Tales
To guard against unforeseen
emergencies and death, each Of
the men knowing the combina-
ton, has written his part Sc
cretly, sealed the envelopes con-
tanning the numbers and dc.
posted them in another safe.
Should it happen that these
envelopes are opened and the
combination become known to
others, another is set up of
four new numbers.
Only one case Of theft has
been known-the case Of an
employe who slipped a bar Of
gold under his sweater, melted
it down and actually sold it
back to the Assay Office as a
chunk Of yellow metal about
the size of a chicken croquette.
And they got him.
The queerest tale of gold
boarding is the tale Of the old
man who went to the Assay Of
flee one day, Juggling what ap-
peared to be two coal black
bricks-building bricks. They
were about to show him the
door as a crank when he cried
out, eXcitedly: Gold! Gold!"
And sure enough, gold it was.
Under a coating Of black
paint was the stuff that has
turned the world upside down.
He had saved and saved, this
curious old man, until he been
able to put his savings into two
gold bricks. But he wouldn't
pay the rent Of a safe deposit
box so he painted the gold
bricks with black paint and
used them for door steps in
front Of his house.
And many people had scuffed
over them, little realizing that
each of the bricks they spurned
with careless feet was worth
more than $4,000,

''The Olympic, out of South
ampton, is bringing $33, ,0OO, ,00O."
'"The Bremen, out Of Cherbourg,
Is bringing $35, 900, ,O00." So runs
the news, day after day, cargo
Of gold upon cargo Of gold,
headed for the United States.
In the short month of Feb
ruary about 600 tons, $4O0, ,O00,-
900, found its way from all ends
Of Europe, imported by bankers,
and others, to be sold to the
United States. One by one the
liners slipped into their berths
and then from holds and strong
rooms diSgorged wooden boxes
filled with the yellow metal. A
three mile dash through the
streets of New York by armored
cars, and the gold is transferred
through the single entrance Of a
plain, white stone, five-Story
building-the United States
Assay office, and there it goes
into the melting pot to come out
in bricks, seven inches long,
three and one-half inches wide,
and one and five-eighth inches
thick.
An Avalanche
These are busy days in this
treasure chest Of the country on
tho New York waterfront. The
electric furnaces are working
overtime and yet cannot keep
up with the deluge. AS a conse-
quence, there is some grIlmbling
by bankers and importers who
do not relish the loss of the in
tereSt Of a day or two, while
waiting for the assay office to
catch up with their shipments.
The assay office was not pre-
pared for this avalanche. It
was going along nicely in this
new building, built in Herbert
Eoover's administration and
dedicated by Ogden Mills. It
was buying gold for the Gov
eminent in lots Of 500 or more,
testing the fineness Of gold for
anyone who would pay the
small fee, and selling gold in
lots Of $4,000 or more to jew
SlerS and dentists.
The golden belt which was
John L. Sullivan's emblem Of
the worlds championship was
ono Of the things which went
into the fiery furnace, and in
exchange its poSsesSor got a gold
certificate. The famous life
sized statue Of Maude Adams
which made its appearance at
the first Chicago Worlds Fair,
melted down here to $4,000 in
pure gold. The baritone, An
tonic Scott, when he found it
necessary to dispose Of a loving
cup and a medallion Of his
friend, Enrico Caruso, took
them to the Assay Office, and
when they had become a gold
brick, weighing IS ounces, Sig
nor Scott received $700.
All through the day people
used to appear before the
guarded door Of steel grille,
whisper their business, as they
were scrutinized by five or six
guards and watched every sec
ond as they went through the
long corridors, and in and out
Of the rooms.
The United States is paying
around $36 for newly-minded do
mestic gold and the RFC Is
buying gold abroad at the same
time. But the assay office still
pays the old rate Of $20.67 an
ounce for melted jewelry, and
hence, 1t Is more profitable to
cell now to the commercial buy

Public Is Entitled to Truth
Of AerOnautiCS Situation
By James r. Williams, Jr.

Roper's disruption of this
branch to a fearless and non
political investigation, many
subsequent blunders Of which
American aviation is today the
victim might have been averted.
Sooner or later, either by the
present Congress or by the one
to be elected next November, the
searchlight of a congressional
investigation must be turned
upon the aeronautics branch If
the blame for it's maladmin'
istration is to be fixed and the
blameworthy held to a strict
accountability.
Only a congressional investi-
CATION Of the aeronautics
branch can find the answers to
such questions as the following:
Who were the sponsors Of
the political appOintees that re-
placed the carefully selected
experts of prOUen competency,
vhom Secretary Roper forced
out of the GsrOnGutics branch
in order to make OacGnciss?
HOuU many air tTansPOrt OP-
orators had a hand in this ne
ferrous Transformation Of wh0t
was once nOnpOlitical and
expert Federal agency into uOhGt
has become an auxiliary Of poll
ticians and disgruntled because
unsuccessfuE bidders for air mail
contracts?
Fearless Probe
How many kinsmen and job
less eonstituents of Senators
and Representatives, hOW many
sx-empZoyes of favored air
erGnspOrt operators have been
appointed to the GsrOnGuties
branch under the tWO-fOld pre-
tense of economy and sff-
cheney?
HOv much public money has
been squGndered by the aero
nGutics branch in planned pub
Hcity paid for by the hard
earned savings Of the OOsT-
buvdened taxpayers of tn"
United States?
Where did the aerOnGutics
branch get the inspiration for
its fantastic proposal that the
Government build fiUUer planes
and construct fliUOsr landing
fields at the Oery time Whcn
the Government WGs refusing
funds to maintain the Federal
GirwGys in accord with the re-
quirements of Federal I0U?
Until the searchlight OF an
honest, fair and fearless COM
mittee Of the Congress has been
turned upon Secretary Roper's
disruption Of the aeronaut1cS
branch Of the Department OF
Commerce, the regulation OF
civil aeronautics will continue
to suffer.
Nor will the American people
find out the whole truth about
the betrayal Of the Administra'
ton by those who gave 1t the
worst of bad counsel when they
urged the tragic course that has
taken such heavy toll Of brave
lives and hard.earned treasure.
