WAY IS CLEARED
FOR PAY MEASURE
Senate Subcommittee to
Recommend Divorcing of
Veterans Amendment.

The way was cleared today to get
the independent Offices bill, involving
Government pay restoration, reported
to the Senate next week, when the
subcommittee handling the bill de-
cided today to recommend that
amendments to liberalize war vet
erans' allowances be brought up on
the floor of the Senate without being
incorporated in the bill in committee.
This recommendation by the sub
committee must be approved by the
Senate Appropriations Committee,
which has been called for 2 o'clock
Monday afternoon.
If the committee adopts q recon-
mendation the bill could then be re-
ported to the Senate late Monday or
Tuesday, but it was not definite what
day it could be taken up on the floor.
Some members of the Appropria
tions Committee regard the veterans
amendments as legislation and there
fore not in order to be considered on
an appropriation bill in committee,
therefore, if any of the amendments
were adopted in committee. a point of
order would be made when the bill
reached the Senate, and if che presid-
ing officer sustained the point of or
der, the test of strength on the issue
of veterans allowances would have to
come on motion to appeal from the
decision of the chair.

32.HOUR WEEK
is AIM OF N. R. A.
Johnson Calls Mass Meeting Of
All Code Authorities for
March 5.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
A leaning by the N r. A. toward
basic work-week OF 80 hours for
American industry was intimated to-
day as Administrator Hugh s. johnson
summoned mass meeting Of all code
authorities for March to initiate
q Unemployment drive.
Immediate explanation was given by
johnson that there would be no fiat
demand for all industries to assume
a 32-hour week. In fact, he stated
no hour reduction would be forced.
He gave intimation. however. that a
suggestion would be advanced for
considerable shortening below the
general 40-hour level where possible.
Meanwhile the N. r. A. went to
work today under clearly posted ban
against inside lobbying. A general
order barred all former executives or
employees from ever appearing before
the recovery unit in behalf of indus
tries touched in their N. r. A. work.
It was stated that the order carried
mo implication of improper conduct"
However, a few former officials now
holding places in industry or on code
authorities may be affected, as not
even letters will be accepted from
them.
johnson, about the same time. in
formed Senator Nye, Republican, of
North Dakota. he would submit to him
list of the private business connec-
tions of N. r. A. officials. Nye intro
duced a resolution calling for such
information, but the Senate has not
acted.
The March mass meeting, at
which code control groups from be-
tween 275 to 800 industries are ex-
pected, will be primarily directed at
co-ordinating and revising the N. R.
A. code structure.
A chief objective, however, johnson
indicated, will be to have industry
absorb some Of the millions now en-
ployed on civil works.
Some industries. he conceded, have
eaten up so much of their reserves
they would have no means to
finance" larger pay rolls necessitated
by shorter hours. Others. he Indicated.

favored S-hour days and shortened
weeks rather than shorter days.

NEW YORK, February 10.-The

contracts, made plans today to carry

upon in Washington.
Eastern Air Transport. Inc. Trans
continental and Western Air, Inc,
and United Air Lines, whose planes
span the United States daily. en-
phatically denied there was collusion
in obtaining rich Government mail
contracts.
Thomas B. Doe, president of East
ern Air, while denying charges which
have been directed against IL air
companies by the Postmaster General,
advised Gen. Douglas Macarthur.
Army chief of staff, that Eastern Air
Transport offered every assistance
possible" to the Army in its impend-
ing operation of mail routes.

Eastern Air. operating from New
York to Miami, Fla, also advised its
personnel to proceed with business"
A similar attitude is expected to be
announced by Transcontinental g.
Western Air and United Air Lines,
which operate from coast to coast.
Richard w. Robbins, president Of
T. w. A., sent to President Roosevelt
today a lengthy protest against the
"ex parte cancellation of our airmail
contract" At the same time it was
learned that T. w. A. officials were
preparing a notice to their employees
that We will carry on as an express
and passenger line until such time as
the justice of our claim is recog-
nized"
From an official of United Air
Lines, who declared this has hit us
like a bombshell,' it was learned
that a meeting of United officials
had been called for late today to de-
termine on policy.
In a telegram sent to President
Roosevelt, Robbins declared that T.

entitled as matter of simple fair

drastic action is taken. However, we
wish to do everything in our power to
avert a disruption of the airmail serv-
ice and we therefore offer to carry the
airmail over our routes for the next
80 days, during which time we request
that you and. the Postmaster General
will consider our presentation of the
facts"
Doe said Eastern Air was prepared
to carry the mail without compensa-
ton until the Army took over so as to
insure maintenance of its schedule.
Doe advised Gen. Macarthur that
"if the six years experience and the
millions of miles we have flown does

ton Of being the warmest city in the
United States The temperature at
9 m. was 70, with the thermometer
rising above that mark during the
day. Skies were clear and a warm
sun shone.
In Washington, the gloomy predic-
tion of temperature Of 10 degrees
below zero for last night was not
borne out by the mercury. which never
got down further than above. Start
ing with a temperature of 10 above

Snow Is Forecast for Tomorrow.
The bright sunshine of yesterday
was again very much in evidence. The
Weather Bureau says, however, that
this will give way to snow tomorrow
afternoon or night. For today the
forecast is fair and continued cold.
The temperature will drop to about 10
degrees above zero tonight.
The cold weather has proved
hardship to 5000 c. w. A. workers
with outside jobs. The workers have
not been allowed to work for the past
two days and under the principle OF
no work, no pay, they get nothing for
their days off. 1t is estimated that
the cold has cost the workers some
$4,000 per day.

Directorship Set Up.
The new French government today
set up a four man dictatorship head
ed by Premier CASTOR Doumergue to
handle foreign affairs swiftly and Wig
orously and strike hard against the
possibility OF German union with
Austria.
With Doumergue, the dictatorship
is composed of Vice Premier Andre
Tardieu Vice Premier Edouard Her
riot and Louis Barthou, minister of
foreign affairs.
The dictatorship intends to seek an
agreement with Premier. Mussollnl OF
Italy and the Little Entente-Ru-
mania, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia
for the strong support of Chancellor
Engelbert Dollfuss of Austria and for
a general solution of the Central Eu-
ropean situation.
The continuance Of Austrian inde-
pendence is viewed by the new French
cabinet as an urgent matte SUPER
seding the problems of disarmament,
war debts and import quotas.
The composition Of the foreign af-
fairs dictatorship is made possible by
the fact that Doumergue, Tardieu and
Herriot are without portfolios and
thus are able to concentrate with any
ministry on any particular problem.
