Government employees are to receive

aries-5 per cent as of February / and
5 per cent Of July 1-was the word
passed around among members of the
House today by leaders, who have
been in conference on the Senate
amendments to the Independent Offices
appropriation bill
The House members are not to be
allowed a chance to vote on a full
Is per cent restoration. and before the
Senate amendments are brought back
into the House by the Appropriations
Committee quite general acquies-
cence among members will be ar
ranged through group conferences. 1t
was pointed out today that it will be
absolutely necessary to make substan-
tai reduction in the amounts for vet
erans benefits provided by the Senate
amendment, and that the veterans
cuts cannot be made unless their is
some cut in Federal salaries.
1t was admitted by those who are
working along lines of the admin
istration's policy that the aoministra-
tion and both houses of Congress are
now committed definitely to q 10 per
cent restoration.
Certain Government employees Or
ganizatiOns and leaders have been
endeavoring to effect failure to pass
the independent Offices appropriation
bill and to bring about the passage of
a continuing resolution to support the
Government agencies during the COM
ing year. 1t was emphasized today,
however, that while it is quite i'm
probable that any such thing will
happen there is still a slight posi-
bility of the bill failing and in that
event furlough system would be put
into effect which would be equal to

and Woodring Revealed
Before Committee.
BY the Associated Press.


Dissension within the War Depart
ment over purchases Of supplies, in
cluding airplanes, was revealed today

Reporting the Army appropriations
bill, the committee disclosed q direct
refutatiQu by Maj. Gen. Benjamin d.
FoulOis, chief Of the Air Corps, Of a
statement by Harry H. Woodring, As
sistant Secretary of War.
The subject of War Department pur-
chases is under investigation by local
grand jury and by the House Military
Affairs Committee.
Foulois testified that recently air
plane specifications were revised after
being drawn, with a reduction in the
required performances, such as speed,
range and altitude.
Who made that changer" asked
Chairman Collins, Democrat, of Mis-
sissippi. of the Appropriations Sub
committee
Blames Woodring.
'The Assistant Secretary of War"
Foulois said.
Woodring already has denied before
the Military Affairs Committee that
he did make the changes.
Foulois testified it had been Army
policy to buy exclusively from estab-
lished concerns" Collins asked:
There would be very little use in
anybody outside of those few big COM
panies becoming interested in the pro-
duction or designs of engines or
planes?"
And this answer by Foulois:
Very little use /" we generally
negotiate contracts"
There was much testimony about
the Army's allotment of $7,5OO,00O
from the P. w. A. for airplanes.
Foulois said he had expected this
would be expended by the usual pro-
cedure-through negotiated" con-
traCtS-but that Woodring had Or
dered proposals revised so they could
be submitted to competition.
