Return Of Full Pay
Sought by Employees

Organizations Of Government
employees will fight in Congress
for full restoration of their sal
aries, it became evident today,
following expressions Of keen dis
appointment from their leaders
as to President Roosevelt'S budget
recommendations.
According to officials Of both
major organizations Of Federal
employees, there is strong senti-
ment in Congress in favor Of res
toraticn of salaries in full. This
was revealed by poll conducted
by the American Federation Of
Government Employees, and from
officials of the National Fedora
tion of Federal Employees the in
formation was elected that a clear
majority of Congress is believed
to favor restoration.
Officials Issue Statement
Luther C. Steward, president Of
the latter organization, and Ger
trude M. McNally, secretary
treasurer, in a joint statement on
the budget message, said:
Deep disappointment at

"FOr months the civilian en-
plOyeS have been carrying out
the national recovery program,
bearing a terrific burden Of
OverWOrk not only without
added compensation, but at re-
duced compensation.
Substantial recognition Of
the workers contribution should
be accorded for two important
basic reasons. First, such recOg-
milton is demanded by the
spirit and letter of the national
recovery act itself. Second,

Bill as Hearing is Opened

etrol bill which provides for an
identical tax on heavy wines and
spirits.
The bill provides for q 5O-cent
tax per gallon on spirits and forth
fled wines.
Question Of Appeal
Representative Celler also rec
commended that appeals from &C.
cisions of the District CommiS-
Sioners on revocation and suspen-
sion Of licenses be taken to Con-
greSS and that these appeals
should be given preference on the
calendar.
Considerable debate followed the
suggestion that a provision in the
bill which asked for the licensing
Of liquor solicitors be stricken.
Representative Carl M. Weide-
man CD Of Michigan contended
that soliciting for sale Of liquor
would tend to encourage drinking.
He was supported by Senator
Robert r. Reynolds (DO of North
Carolina, who contended that the
bill should provide for a prohibi-
ton of any kind of soliciting
even of light wines and beer.
Senator King asked Mr.. Bride
for an explanation of operation
Of the dispenSary system in
Canada, stating that he was
anxious for information on its
success or failure.
Continue Tomorrow
Bride promised to bring the
data at tomorrow'S hearing.
It was decided to continue the
hearings tomorrow at 10 a. m.
after it was discovered that mem
bers of both committees could not
attend a session later today, as
had been proposed.
The hearings were recessed at
1920 today.

CAPITOL FIRE
FALSE ALARM
BY international News Service

BY International News Service
Failure Of a Capitol employe to
turn on tie ventilation system in
the House side Of the Capitol gave
dozens Of fire engine crews stiff
-7orkout early today.
When an unidentified person
saw smoke belchir from one Of
the chimneys, he became excited
and turned in a silent alarm,
bringing more than a hundred
fire fighters to the scene.
The fire, it was believed, was
built in one Of the old fireplaces
in the left wing.
When the firemen arrived they
found only firerlace fires and lit
tie smoke.
Gus Cook, assistant Capitol
architect, said:
"Ordinarily the ventilation
s.stem carries off the smoke,
but this morning the weather
was mild and we failed to turn
it on"

the board and brother-in-law Of
Mrs. Edsel Ford, has forgotten"
that many unit banks objected to
paying unearned dividends to the
holding company from 1880 on
ward.
Kanzler admitted he had been
a director and vice president OF
the holding company from the
time it was organized in 1929.
Ferdinand Pecora, chief counsel
Of the Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee, asked Kanzler
to explain why bank units Of the
group declared dividends to the
holding company while their Off
cials were objecting strenuously.
Witness Cautious
Kanzler warily answered all
questions, including Pecora's first
efforts to discover when he and
other officials of the group began
to think of their banking difficult
ties as a "war" on the depression.
Pecora sought to show that
Kanzler and other directors OF
the group board knew they were
"at war" as all the witnesses
have expressed it, when they
ordered unit banks to declare
dividends that weakened their
capital and reserve when they
were needed most to protect de-

Kanzler kept saying, however,
that he forgot" when he first

ON DALLY|NG BY
CONGRESS
President Ready to Demand
Action If Debate Slows
Wanted Legislation
By International News Service

By International News Service
President Roosevelt has begun
the job Of cutting secondary legiS-
lation from the path Of Congress,
seeking speedy enactment Of re-
covery measures and adjournment
in May.
Backed by big majorities on
Capitol Hill, the President has
sought to keep the legislators true
to the general course he has set,
He does not plan to sit idly by
if Congress wanders off into some
labyrinth of debate and inaction.
Court Issue Out
Characteristically, the Executive
has not revealed how he expects
to accomplish his objective. But
he has already made one move by
eliminating the annual bugaboo Of
debate over League Court adher.
ence.
Senator Joseph T. Robinson Of
Arkansas, Democratic leader OF
the Senate, made the announce
ment that the court issue would
not be taken up at this session.
Laying his plans for speed, the
President was closeted with
Leader Robinson for an hour on
the second day of Congress. The
budget was brought up among
other things. The President hopes
to have this bulky and always
troublesome legislation out Of
the way soon.
Silver Wrangle Looms
Silver seems destined to be one
Of the major hurdles President
Roosevelt must overcome in his
drive for adjournment in May.
The Executive realized this, and
has been giving considerable
thought to the matter.
It bobbed up twice as a subject
Of discussion with him yesterday.
He talked about silver with Robin
son and was urged to support free
and unlimited coinage by two Of
the Senate silverites, Wheeler Of
Montana and King of Utah, both
Democrats.
There is formidable minority
on Capitol Hill seeking action on
silver, but Robinson said he does
not expect silver legislation at
the present session.

in his message to Congress that
the NRA and lot of these other
alphabetical agencies to regulate

Well, that was a terrible blow
to some business men.
They had figured they would be
required by the Government to be
honest only until the emergency
was over.
The papers tell of a little coun-

 (1) That the season will see a robust increase in attendance in both circuits.
 (2) That sluggers, rather than pitchers, will take command.
 (3) That the American league will have a wide open pennant fight for the first time in years.
 (4) That National circuit bats men have found the Tive" ball to their liking.
 Yesterdays attendance at the eight inaugural games totailed 1S7,50O. This did not approach the opening record of 349,000 set in 1881, but it did show a healthy av- craze increase over last season when 97,500 attended five contests. This years average per game was 23,437, or an increase of 3,937 over the 1888 average.
 The largest crowd, 37,50O saw the world champion Giants wallop' the staggering Phillies at New York, and the smallest, 7,50O, saw the Cardinals overwheIm the Pi- rates at St. Louis.
 Although most of the managers trotted out their best pitchers, batsmen were mighy active. regis tering 65 hits in the National and 66 in the American circuit. This was an average of about eight smart average. True. Lon Warneke of the Cubs turned in the seasons first one-hit performance against the Reds, and Carl Hubbell of the Giants limited the Phillies to four. It must be remembered, however, that these two top-notch fingers we're operating against the weak sister clubs of their circuit. Adding lustre to the batsmen, six National and three American home runs hurlers at Gomez, Whitehill, Brandt, Si Johnson, Blaeholder and Hildebrand were battered off the mound.
 Stirring events at Boston and Philadelphia indicated scrappy days in the American league. The rebuilt Red Sox roso up and men, aced the pennant-winning Senators for II innings before the latter wriggled out with a 6-to-5. victory.

Earl Selenske and Johnny Hoben Will Be Tribune
 Battery Again


 Neil O'Donnell will handle the managerial reins of the Tribune baseball club in the City Amateur League race this season succeeding Johnny Kerwin who rendered his resignation recently.
 Neil, although still youngster, is fighter and intends to put a most formidable club on the field. Johnny Hoben of Torrington, for mer Yale grid star, will again be seen behind the bat with Earl Se- lenske, who leaves tomorrow for a trial with the Boston Red Sox, is expected to assume the pitching burden again, for he will not allow himself to be farmed out to a mi- nor league club.
 Joe Fontana, coach of Southing- ton high school, will be with the lower Baldwin street nine again, although this year he will probably be converted into a second base- man instead of 8 third sacker. Young Palladino, secured by Fon- tana, will be seen in the outfield along with Johnny Egan. Palladir,o they say is slugger and capable f1yhawk having played two years with Samuel Johnson Academy.
