PAY RESTORATION
PROBE TO RESUME
AT 10 TOMORROW
Byrnes Calls Appropriations
Subcommittee to Study
Measure.
THOSE FAVORlNG PLAN
DEMAND FINAL ACTION
Liberalization of Veterans r..
strictions Is Next on
Program.

Work on the independent Offices
appropriation bill, carrying the plan
for gradual restoration of the Gov
ernment pay cut, will be resumed to-
morrow when the subcommittee
handling it meets at 10 o'clock to
decide what changes should be made
in existing limitations on war vet
erans' allowances.
The action of Chairman Byrnes of
the appropriations subcommittee in
calling the meeting ended the period
of uncertainty which has existed since
last Friday. when the bill was tenn
porarily sidetracked. In the mean
time other subcommittee have been
pushing ahead with consideration of
the annual supply bills for the Navy,
Interior, Treasury and Post Office
Departments.
Senators Want Action.
During the last few days members
of the Senate who favor Government
pay restoration and more liberal
treatment of war veterans became
restive over the postponement of the
independent Offices bill Senators
Steiwer. Republican. of Oregon, and
McCarran. Democrat, of Nevada. have
taken the lead in urging prompt set
tlement Of the issues involved in the
independent Offices bill.
Wnen the subcommittee resumes
work tomorrow proposals will be ad-
vanced in support Of the point
American Legion program to liberalize
existing restrictions on World War
veterans, an amendment in behalf of
Spanish War veterans and one change
in the regulations which .curtailed the
allowances of emergency officers.
Group Approved Plan.
The full Appropriations Committee
last week approved the plan Of restor-
ing 5 per cent CT the present pay cut.
starting from February !. another 5
per cent on July |. leaving the Presi-
cent to determine when the last per
cent should be restored en- the basis
Of price levels.
When the independent Offices bill
gets into the Senate. probably next
week, further efforts will be made to
restore the entire Is per cent after
July !. and there is a possibility that
such a motion may be made again
before the bill leaves the committee
A move to provide for full restoration
on July l was defeated in committee
last week by a margin of II to 10. with
two members OF the committee absent

CITIZENS OPPOSE
zON|NG CHANGE
Chevy Chase Property Own.
ers Fight Commercial
Proposal.

A merry battle among residents
and land owners in the Chevy Chase
section ragged before the Zoning Com
rezone, from residential to commercial,
nue. between Mckinley and Morrison
streets to allow the building of a set
of stores with automobile parking
facilities.
The case was almost a duplicate Of
the battle waged by the same op-
ponents previously. In the meantime,
however. the Chevy Chase Citizens
Association had met and reversed its
position on the proposal, approving
the change by vote Of II to l6, after
larger vote had been discarded fol-
lowing charges by members that the
meeting had been packed" by persons
not members of the association.
1S2 Sign Petition.
However. 1872 property owners in
that vicinity signed a petition vigor-
ously opposing the change. and it
seemed that most of them must have
attended the hearing in person to
stress their views orally
The case for the change was stated
by Roger Whiteford, attorney for the
landowners. He said that population
in that section had increased sub
stantially, so as to make a need felt
for more stores. His proposed building,
he said, would have no openings in
the rear. would be architecturally
handsome, and these statements would
be guaranteed in covenants running
with the land if it was sold
Opponents of the change pointed
to the fact that there are already
covenants with the land limiting its
use to residential purposes, on the
strength of which they bought their
homes. There was no reason to sup
pose, they said. that Whiteford'S pro-
posed covenant would be any more
binding thai. the present restriction.
which they would seek to have up
held in the courts, if necessary.
Watson Favors Change.
In another coming case affecting
Connecticut avenue, home owners ap-
peared to favor change to COM
mercial Zoning. because the heavy
traffic in front of their doors had
made their homes less desirable for
residential purposes. One of the
home owners was the former Senator
from Indiana. James E. Watson.
"As member Of Congress for 40
years" he said. Il have become used
to noise. but these homes are be-
coming steadily less desirable and 1
hope the commission will see fit to
make this change The change re-
ferred to affected 26o1 to 1868 Con-
necticut avenue. between Calvert
street and Woodley road. Watson
lives at 2651.
The decline of the congregation
OF the Northminster Presbyterian
Church, Eleventh street and Rhode
Island avenue, was cited by repre-
sentatives of the Washington City
PreSbytery in behalf of their petition
to rezone the church property to
commercial. There are gas filing
stations on each of the three other
corners Of this intersection. Efforts
made to sell the property as a church
having failed, the presbytery now
wants to sell it for business purposes
In all there were 20 cases on the
zoning docket. They will be con.
sidered at an executive meeting of the
commission, the date for which has
not yet been set.

Federal Aid Denied City.

Opponents of the bill called atten-
ton to the fact that Virginia and all
the other States of the Union receive
large sums of Federal aid for road
building. while the District of CO.
lumbia does not share in such funds.
This is an Offset, they said, to the
lump sum contribution.
Representative Smith put into the
record that only three States have a
2-cent gas tax, while in II States the
tax Is 3 cents, in 16 it is 4 cents, in 9
States it is cents. in six States it is
6 cents and in two States it is 7
cents.
Mr.. Upham, in a brief presented to
the subcommittee, emphasized that
the proposition to equalize gasoline
tax rates in the District of Columbia
with all States in the Union is i'm
possible.
