Rep. Henney to Support
Return of Full Pay

Federal employees have another
friend at court in the person OF
Representative Charles w. Hen
ney (DO, Of Wisconsin.
He will certainly vote for adop-
ton Of the Senate's proposed 10
per cent pay restoration and "a
.vors return of the entire is per
cent If advocated by the Admins
tration.
Explaining his stand today, he
said:
Certainly 1 am in favor Of
the amendment, for 1 believe
, living costs have risen suffi-
ciently to justify it.
81 also will vote to restore
the entire Is per cent il the Ad-
miniStratiOn feels that it can
p" return it without upsetting the
budget"
!, REP. SNYDER BACKS MOVE
DR.. Henney is member of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
and a prominent Midwest practis-
ing surgeon.
Another Representative today
,"inclined to look favorably" on
pay restoration is Representative
J. Buell. Snyder Cd, of Pennsyl-
svania, who says:
I'D be inclined to support
any measure having for its
basic principle the increase of
purchasing power among the
masses"
Yet another champion Of Gov
eminent employees, especially in
the lower brackets is Representa-
tive Theodore Christianson (RJ ,
Of Minnesota. He takes the
stand: .
- 81 certainly would increase
the pay of those Federal en-
pIOyes that are nOtOriOusIy un-
derpaid and will vote for the
Senate amendment providing it
applies only to employees in the
lower brackets"
REP. MOREHEAD FAVORABLE

Because of the intense cold all
the CWA workers on outdoor JOBS
have been laid off.
Potomac Frozen Solid
The Potomac was frozen solid
from here to Indian Head, and
small boats had difficulty in max
ing their way up the river. Be-
cause Of this the price Of oysters
skyrocketed on the local markets,
due to failure of the oyster fleet
to reach here.
The cold wave kept firemen
busy, there being 64 alarms yes
terday due to overheated stoves
and chimney troubles. Crews Of
firemen were also kept on duty
thawing out frozen hydrants.
Skaters found happiness in the
cold wave, for they were able to
skate on the Potomac for the first
time in many years. The Reflect
ing Pool had more ice than at any
time in its history, but the sur
face was so rough that skaters
found little enjoyment there.
Pedestrians Hurt

Mr.. Lee, who formerly served as

Vice President Garner de-

KING HOLDS UP
NAVY SHIP BILL
BY Universal Service

Efforts to bring the $40 million
naval construction bill before the
Senate were blocked yesterday by
Senator King CD, Of Utah, after
the 284 million dollar appropria'
tionS bill for Navy Department
operations had been passed.
King, long an opponent Of In
creased Navy strength, objected
when Chairman Trammell Of the
Naval Affairs Committee sought
to introduce the bill.
Gaining the floor. he immedi-
ately started what apparently was
intended as at least a miniature
filibuster, but was interrupted by
resumption Of the air mail trial.
King devoted most of his remarks
to Philippine independence.
The bill was passed by the
House and was approved by the
Senate committee a week ago.
