ment is heartily inviting everybody

BRUCE IN RACE
FOR SENATE

BALTIMORE, May 16.-How-
ard Bruce, Democratic national
committeeman from Maryland,
threw his hat into the political
ring today with the announcement
that he would seek the Democratic
nomination to the United States
Senate.
Political observers here believe
Mr.. Bruce has the backing of Gov
ernor Ritchie and that, if nomi-
mated, his election is a foregone
conclusion.
Some humor was injected into
the situation when it was recalled
that Mr.. Bruce's uncle, former
Senator William Cabell Bruce,
made it known some time ago he
would seek one of Maryland's
seats in the Senate if Governor
Ritchie did not choose to rum"
The nomination for the Senate
seat, therefore, may result in a
family war" with the nephew
pitted against his uncle. Although
Governor Ritchie has not def
nitely and openly committed him
self to either of the contestants,
1t is understood that Richie fifth
term hackers look favorably on
the Democratic national COM
mitteeman as running mate for
the governor.

MIRA AUTHORITY
PAY SCALES
MAY DROP
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

Code authority budgets coming
in to the MIRA thus far indicate
that the salaries considered ade-
Quate for code authority minor
employees will range generally
lower than those now paid in NRA
and elsewhere in the Government
service.
The salary scale in code au-
thorities is of special interest to
MIRA stenographers, typistS, ETC.,
because as the code officials take
over industrial control, preSum-
ably the activities of NRA in the
codified fields will diminish, and
MIRA employees would naturally
be experienced in the work to be
undertaken.
$1,OOO-$3,OOO Range
Salary scales for stenographers
under the new Set-up seem likely
to range from about $1,000 to
$1,000 a year. In the Government
service the range would be up
ward from $1,26O to $1,000, or
possibly more.
Salaries of executives will be
higher in the code authorities.
generally, than in the Govern
ment service. The investment
code budget provides for one 500
600 job, and the trucking code
for a $4,000 job. With the ex-
ception of Donald r. Richberg,
general counsel, NRA top salaries
are $1,000.
So few budgets have been pre-
scented in detail, as yet, that the
final showing may change the
situation somewhat, but in gen.
eral it seems that the code au-
thorities will follow the practice
in vogue in business of maintain
ing relatively high salaries for
the top ranks, and low salaries
for those further down the scale.
It has been recognized for a.
number of years that Govern
ment salaries in the lower grades
are less out of line than those in
the top grades with salaries in
private business.
Many Located Here
Doubtless the final location of
the code authority will have an
important bearing on salaries.
Many of them, in all probability,
will be located here, and if they
are, there will probably be con-
siderable pressure for salaries
comparable to those in the Gov
eminent service, particularly since
by usual standards Government
salaries are considered low. The
suggested reductions below the
Government scale for code au-
thority jobs have come as some
thing of q surprise.
However, many code authorities
will have quarters in New York.
and a few will go to other cities
which are industrial centers for
the particular codes. Living costs
in those cities will probably have
the effect of keeping pay in code
authority jobs at about the same
levels as in private business.

A winning streak has got to
come to an end tonight at the
Boys Club, when Sholls Cafes,
seeking its severty-second Straight
--;p, and the HagerstoWn (MdD
Moodmen of the World. clash at
$50 o'clock. The latter will be
seeking it's twenty-first. At $50
o'clock the Boys Club varsity will
clash with the Bureau OF 1nvestl-
CATION five, runner-up in the
Community Center Leagues first
half.
The Woodmen have been city
and county champions of Hagers-
town for three seasons Sholls,
leaving no stone unturned went
through lengthy drill last night
in their new home, the big down.
town gymnasium of the Boys Club.
Officials of that club this morn
ing announced the makeup of the
usual Sunday matinee double
header there. At 3 o'clock, the
Boys Club varsity, making fine
strides lately, will meet the Fred
erick (MdO Y. M. C. A., and an
hour later Sholls will take the
floor with the Stonewsl Demo-
cratic Club five, of Baltimore, the
best amateur team in the Oriole

Hokle," who increased his
five-pin lead Of the first five
games to IS at the end of the
second block, says, however, it
won't deprive him of his chance
to win his first major tourna-
ment and that he'll be there
ready for action.
Dutch" Newman. who moved
to fourth place last Saturday and
Tony Santini, who slipped to
seventh, will likely view the pro-
>ceedings from the sidelines be-
cause of injuries. Newman has
a swollen knee. the result of g.
fall, and Santini an infected
hand.
Freezing Appendix
"Hokie" said today his doctor
is freezing the appendix, and he
will be in shape to roll. In fact
the plucky King Pin star was
reluctant to say anything about
his pain, fearing the fans might
believe he was concocting an
.alibi in case he should falter.
Smith was for saying nothing
about the matter at all, or until
Monday, if 1t had to be told. He
was convinced, however, his
friends and those who know his
gameneSs are we'll aware that he
doesn't have to resort to such
tactics.
Tony Santini's hand is so badly
infected he was unable to roll in
the knights of Columbus League
last night, and will have to fore
90 the match tonight in which
his Temple pals meet Occidental
with the league lead at stake.
Newman has been on the in
iured list since Monday and
on his knee. This comes at a
particularly bad time for Dutch"
as he was getting the feel of
the tournament, throwing in a
TIT set last Saturday.
Espey May Sub
Eddie Espey will likely replace
Newman while Santini will prob
ably be represented by either
George Honey, District League
leader, or Joe Freschi. Santini,
however, is having a physician
work on his hand and is still
hopeful of finishing himself.

|SEMANN PLAN
WILL. DECIDE
CITY ACE

When the smoke Of battle clears
away, and the shouting dies, it will
still probably be a subject Of de-
bate as to who is the best bowler
in Washington, but it won't be the
fault of "Uncle" George Isemann.
For the good secretary of the
National Duckpin Bowling Con-
gress has fostered an elimination
tournament. which will decide
once and for all (pun intended
who really is the champion. 1t
will bring together eight repre-
sentatives of bowling alleys who
will meet in 10 games on a home
and home basis.
Five games will go to each alley,
with the separate bracket winners
meeting, until the field has mar
rowed down to two. Baltimore is
planning a similar tourney to find
it's best representative. who will
probably hook UP in q duel with
the washington winner.
Honey vs.. Whalen
"Uncle George" has listed Sat-
urday for the start of his pet at
traction. On the opening card is
George Honey. who is perched atop
the District League with an aver
age of better than 125 battling
Jack Whalen, former United
States Sweepstakes champion at
Temple at 2:30 p. m. and at Co.
'lumbia at 4 p. m.
Honey has been designated by
Manager Ollie Pacini to uphold
the honor of his Northeast Tenn
pie, while Jack Whalen is Lonnie
Krauss' choice to bring the ba-
con home to Columbia.
The other match arranged for
Saturday brings together Pop
Halley's pride, Brad Mandley.
who will represent Recreation
and Paul Harrison, Arcadia's star.
This feature will be shown at
Arcadia at 3 o'clock.
Mandley is a former Campbell
Sweepstakes and Eastern Sweep
stakes champion. and is one Of
the best singles bowlers in this sec
ton. Paul Harrison led the Dis
trict League with a 130 aver
age for almost half a season, I'M
til his teeth began giving him
trouble. He is a former w. C.
D. A. All-Events champion and
coholder of the National Doubles
title for two years.
Later Dates
Later matches will bring to-
gether Red Megaw, former Camp
bell and Atlantic Coast doubles
champion. representing Petworth,
and Hokie Smith, sensational King
Pin youngSter, who is leading the
present field in the Campbell
event, and Howard Campbell,
himself one of the greatest single
bowlers in the country few years
ago, who is making a grand come
back against whip" Litchfield,
present Campbell stakes cham
pion, and city all-events title
holder. Campbell will represent
Lucky Strike and Litchfield has
been named by Manager Charlie
Bell to represent Convention Hall.
The Megaw-Smith match will
open at King Pin and the Camp
bell-Litchfield at Lucky Strike.
The names were drawn from hat
yesterday.
