cent restoration Of Government
pay beginning July l, and that
the House Appropriations Com
mittee presumably would follow
the lead Of it's subcommittee on
the Independent Offices Bill in
deciding to support the Roosevelt
program.
The program adopted by the
conference was proposed by E.
Claude Babcock, president Of the
American Federation of Govern

out that many members Of Con-

The present outlook as to Gov

PLANES POISED
FOR OCEAN HOP

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Jan. 8
G.N.SO-Groomed for a projected
epoch making nonstop mass flight
from California to Hawaii, six
giant Navy planes were poised to-
day ready to fly to San Francisco
probably, tomorrow to make last
minute preparations for the hop
off, which is scheduled to take
place Friday or Saturday, weather
permitting.
Successful completion Of the
flight to Hawaii would give the
U. S. Navy the distinction Of hav-
ing achieved the longest forma-
ton nonstop flight ever at
tempted. The planes will have
flown 2,150 nautical miles when
they land at Pearl Harbor "a to
q hours after leaving San Fran
cisco.
The minesweeper Sandpiper left
yesterday for San Francisco. She
will steam to a point 300 miles
off the Golden Gate to mark the
first mile post" on the long over
seas route along which other Navy
vessels will be stationed at 800
mile intervals.

BUCHAREST, Jan. 8 G.N.S0.
A new dictator stepped upon the
European stage today in the wake
Of the assassination Of Premier
Ion G. Duca.
He was Nicholas Titulescu,
powerful foreign minister in many
Rumanian cabinets, now actual
director Of the government. He
forced King Carol to obey his
wishes as the only condition
upon which he would accept the
foreign portfolio in the new
government Of Premier-Designate
George Tatarescu.
Titulescu asked and obtained
the designations of four Of the
Kings closest aides, personal
friends who had been installed in
key positions Of the government.
In addition widespread changes
were effected in the foreign office,
the war office, and the police de-
partment.
With the Rumanian crisis
bubbling near the danger point
and with much depending upon
Titulescu's participation in the
new government, the veteran
foreign minister consented to take
part only If things were run his
way, even though this meant the
ousting Of Carols friends.
Those dismissed were Dinu
Dumitrescu, Carols personal sec
his father, General Dumb
treScu, commander-in-chief Of the
gendarmerie; Gen.
Nicholai Uica, minister Of war:
and General Staneciu, chief OF
the Rumanian state police.
The last three posts were filled
by TituleScu'S handpicked men,
and the first was abolished.

demonstration Of silver as q
basic money metal in q proper
economic relation to gold was ad-
vocated today by the Western
States Silver Committee, ap-
pointed by the governors Of IL
Western States. George W. Ma
lone, Of Reno, is chairman.
Malone said:
additional money backing Is
a widely recognized necessity
for the approximately six billion
dollars worth Of currency out
standing in America"
Support Of inflationistS, ultra
conservatives, and the primary
silved group is being sought
through announcement OF this
policy, leaving out only the COM
modify silver purchase advocates
States Aid Pledged
Malone pledged the cooperation
of the silver States "as long as
the Presidents action can be re
rarded as an effort to arrive at
q proper price to stabilize the
relation between the two metals"
These States included 1ulnols'
Michigan, Missouri, North caro-
lima, Pennsylvania, Tennessee
Texas and Vermont, besides tne
II Western States Of Colorado
wyoming, Montana, New Mexico,
washington, oregon, California
Arizona, Idaho, Utah and Nevada
Malone said:
eighty per cent Of the silver
of the world Is produced In
North America. Yet the silver
market is fixed in London. 1t
is believed, therefore, the time
has now arrived for the United
States to set the pace and eStab-
lish the kind and amount Of our
medium Of exchange best suited
to the majority Of our people"
WARTIME ACT CITED
He cited the wartime silver
purchase act by which the United
States agreed to the melting and
sale to England of two hundred
million silver dollars at 81 per
ounce, to be replaced by domestic
production.
Through this deal, he recalled,
England acquired most Of this
country'S stock of silver for India,
and made profit Of one hundred
million dollars, though still owing
us for the silver.
He denied the possibility Of the
country being overwhelmed with
the silver of every other nation as
q result of free and unlimited coin
age of silver.

DISTRICT To FIX.
OWN CWA PAY

District Civil Works authorities
will have final authority over the
wage scales paid on Federal CWA
projects within the District,
under a ruling given out today
by Harry L. Hopkins, Federal
Civil Works administrator.
The scales involved are those
paid to clerical workers in o
supervisory capacity. In several
instances, heads of Federal de-
partments have insisted on higher
wages for such workers than were
allowed by the District CWA
board. Under the Hopkins ruling.
however, the will Of the local
board will prevail.
Local CWA officials today be-
gan a survey Of District projects
at the request of William H.
MeuSer, assistant to the chief
engineer Of the Federal CWA.
The survey will detail all projects
now under way or finally passed
by the board, showing the amount
ofq money spent for materials
as cmpared with the amount for
labor, and the amount Of District
funds used on the job in relation
to the Federal funds used.

CONVICT GOODS
CASE OPENED
By International News Service

BY International News Service
The Supreme Court today will
hear arguments in the suit OF
Alabama to have declared un-
constitutional the Halves Cooper
Anti-C Convict Labor Act of Con-
gress and similar laws Of more
than 20 States.
Initiating the action, Alabama
contended that Federal and State
laws tend to destroy business
built up by Alabama through
factories using prison labor.
The Halves Cooper Act, passed
five years ago, denies the usual
protection to interstate commerce
to convict-made goods.
More than a score of States,
taking advantage Of the Federal
act, have either forbidden the
sale Of convict-made goods or
greatly restricted their sale.
In the case before the court,
Alabama specifically attacks the
anti-convict made goods law Of
Arizona.
