VETERANS HEARING
DELAYS PAY ACTION
Report on Restoration Likely
to Be Made Early
Next Week.

The Senate Appropriations Sub
committee, which IS endeavoring to
liberalize the Government salary pro-
visions of the independent Offices appro-
priation bill. is not expected to reach
o formal decision until early next week.
This became apparent today when the
subcommittee, headed by Senator Glass,
Democrat. of Virginia. announced that
hearings on war veterans allowances
would be continued again tomorrow.
The subcommittee heard representa-
tives of the American Legion and Span.
ish War veterans today, but did not
complete the taking Of testimony. This,
1t is believed, will preclude the posi-
bility of the subcommittee deciding be-
fore Monday or tuesday what it will
recommend to the entire committee,
both on Government salaries and vet
erans' benefits.
Details Undecided.
Although there still appears to be q
degree of uncertainty as to how much
of the present IS per cent cut on SAL
aries the Senate Committee will vote to
restore for the period after July !, all
signs continue to indicate that some
part Of the cut will be restored for the
period from now until July, and unless
there should be a last minute change
in plans, this immediate restoration Is
expected to be 5 per cent.
It is also believed the bill will pro-
vide for restoring further part OF the
pay cut after July l.. While there are
q considerable number in the Senate
who favor complete restoration OF basic
salary schedules after July l., it may
finally work out that reduction OF 5
per cent will be retained for the period
beginning in July.
There is also the possibility that the
exact percentage Of reduction to be
applied after July ! might be left to
be determined under the plan pro-
vided for in the existing economy law
of taking into account the cost Of liv-
ing on that date. In this connection
it has been argued that If the admin.
istrations monetary program should
have the effect Of raising commodity
prices, 1t would increase the necessity
Tor pay restoration by that time.
As It came from the House. the In
dependent Offices oil did not provide
Evening star., 1934-01-26

for restoration Of any Of the pay cut
at this time, and provided for restora-
tion Of only S per cent after July /,
thus leaving a 10 per cent cut to be
continued after that date.
Figures in the House hearings on
the Treasury-Post ONCE bill recently
estimated the Is per cent cut amounts
to approximately sl89,600000 for q
year. 1t was also estimated that to re-
store 10 per oe cent It, OF IL the pay cut wouia
it is decided to give back Immediately
per cent of the cut, the cost for the
five months from February l to July
would be in the neighborhood Of
S26,000,000.

Messrs. 1ckes and Hopkins have the

minor nature all along the line.
Reports indicate State politicians

tics uith distribution OF C. w. A.
funds. The method of distribution is
so inuolued that there are more cases
OF absurdities than there are of graft.
In one instance, a high school grad
uate in mechanical drawing received
an architects allowance from the c.

several weeks until some one asked him
to design something and then it was
discovered he was not an architect
Also. he had a letter from his Senator

Under that arrangement the ex-

CATCH BABY SHARKS IN SURF
Youngsters Catch Sharks by Tail
as They Are Washed i'm at LeWes

A new sport for Lewes Beach
among the younger members of
the beach colony is that of catch
ing baby sharks by hand, as they
are washed up to the edge of the
beach on the crest of small waves.
Last week, a small group of young
sters were seen dissporting them
selves in high glee in the shallow
water off the beach, making sud
den darts into the water and
bringing up, without any apparent
fear, a wiggling object which they
deposited in a bucket Then they
would dash back for more. In
vestigation proved that the boys
and girls were actually catching by
the tail what is known as dog
sharks, the infancy stage of the
feared sea tigers" though appar-
emily harmless, judging from the
way they were gathered in. Some
times a large wave would leave one
stranded on the sands, too high to
be carried back by the same on
rush Of water. They were all
about foot in length, with gap
ing mouths on the under side of the
head, quite toothless, and with
wide prominent eyes. Nearly one
dozen were captured.
