indianapolis Youth HonOred
Bill Peed of indianapolis, who is
about 20, has been honored by hav-
ing his portrait of a farmer in oil
hung in a prominent position next
to 1.-The American Scene" section
Mr.. Richey told me that Mr.. Peeo
has had only one year at the John
Heron Art Institute and that his
work is demanding professional and
expert consideration.
A portrait receiving much atten-
ton is Clifton Wheeler's portrait of
Kurt Vonnegut of this city.
Ernest Foster displays painting
that is so life-like that any one
who ever has seen Elmer Andrew
Steffen conduct a chorus will recog-
nize the subject.
LaudS Portrait in Oil
Another portrait in oil easily re-
cognized is that of Lucille More
house, well-known Indianapolis art
critic, by an artist who signs him.
self IS Spenner.
Of he
painters is Bill Galpin and one Of
his moderns done in cubist style is
causing a lot of discussion.
Ruthven Byrum doesn't have to
go out of his home town of Ander-
son to get subjects for his paint
ings. His red brick house gives a
good picture of the Indiana scene.
Richmond is we'll represented in
the art gallery by the work of about
twenty artists. In one division
alone, oil landscapes, there are
eighty-nine entries in total of ap-
proximately 800 exhibits.
Burroughs Is Judge
Clyde Burroughs of the Detroit
Institute of Art was the judge this
year and although some of his
awards are bound to be subjects of
severe and extreme controversy he
has given winning awards to the
new Indiana artist, as well as the
old established ones.
The exhibit is so large this year
that it has been necessary to hang
many of the exhibits on the second
floor of the building, as well as on
the walls OF the main gallery.
Mr.. Richey has been wise in plac-
ing the exhibits and grouping them
so that the more important and
prize winners stand out and de-
mand attention as soon as the viSi-
tor enters the galleries.
This, I think, is a marked i'm
provement over former years.
Demonstrations are Planned
No one can help enjoying the
beauty and the meaning of the sew
eral paintings in The American
Scene"
During the week, several we'll
known Indiana artists who have
works on view will give public de-
monstrations in painting models.
These demonstrations will be held
in the evenings.
The director has arranged the
black and white division in such a
way that it will have more con-
sideration than formerly.
The first prize in this division
was won by Dorothy Eisenbach Of

j UNCLASS|F|ED
CLERKS LOSE
BACK PAY

Employees Of emergency organi.
cations which did not complete
classification under the Presi.
dents executive orders prior to
April / will receive no retroactive
restoration, according to a ruling
by Comptroller General j. r. Nc
Carl today.
Under another ruling, Home
Loan employees engaged in estab-
fishing local savings and loan
associations appear to have a
singularly favored position, mas
much as they are exempted from
any percentage cuts on the
ground that their salaries are not
fixed by any law or regulation
in effect at the time the economy
act was passed. and that, as the
Home Loan Bank board is not
an emergency organization, they
are not affected by the Presi-
dents executive order.
Affects PWA
The first ruling, addressed to
the Administrator of Public
Works, deals with the situation
which arose as a result of the
practice there of appointing en-
ployes from the beginning at net
salary rates. There was rough
approximation of pay in the
regular establishments as affected
by the Is per cent cut, but no
definite classification was made.
The provisions of the executive
order requiring classification have
not yet been applied to PWA,
though they were expected to be
effective this month when sal
aries will be subject to a S per
cent cut. The question was
whether the Administration was
authorized to pay to those en-
ployes whose net salaries we're
not equal to the gross salary of
their grade. less the 10 per cent
reduction, an amount equal to
5 per cent of the gross salary
established.
Apparently it is assumed that
where the. net existing salary is
equal to or greater than the
gross salary minus the cut. no
revision would be considered.
Authority Lacking
The ruling is that if salaries
were not adjusted prior to April
1, so as to provide a gross salary
with percentage reductions. there
is no authority for paying them
any added compensation of any
sort for February or March, be-
yond what they have already re-
ceived.
Presumably the same course of
reasoning would apply to other
emergency agencies, notably the
Home Owners Loan Corporation,
where a similar condition pre-
walls.
The second ruling applies only
to a limited group of employees Of
the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board, not to the Home Owners
Loan Corporation or to the board
employees generally.

Champions of all sorts have

Continental Room, where the
cuisine is an event and the music
Of Tommy Tucker and his Cali
fornians is an extreme delight.
Those who join the gay gath
erings that are now an estab-

the music of Tommy Tucker and
his musicians, but also the dane
ing of Scott and Douglas, the
vocalizing Of Henry Nestor, Wash
ington's singing cop, and other
floor show entertainers.
Scott and Douglas are making
their return appearance again,
offering a series of cyclonic ball
room dances that are as novel as
they are original.

worthy Of many earfullS.

DINNER HONORS
MISS NJ M'NALLY

One of the most significant
events of the year for the Ma
tional Federation of Federal EN-
ployes is the banquet, to be held
tonight at the Mayflower Hotel,
of the Woman'S Union, Local No.
1O5, composed Of employees of the
Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing.
Because Miss Gertrude M. Nc
Nally, secretary-treaSurer Of the
national organization, is a mem
ber of the local and has been one
of its officers from its inception
IS years ago, this quarter-century
anniversary banquet is Of special
interest to the national offices.
The current issue of The Federal
Employe. official organ Of the
Federation. cites the services Of
Miss McNally to the local and to
the Federation as Of special sig
nificance on the occasion of this
observance.
Many Government officials will
attend the banquet, and the
leaders of the Federation will also
be guests Of honor. The union
has been particularly active in de-
veloping services to its members,
notable among these a hospital
guild. credit union, insurance, and
sick committees.
Miss Ollie Greer is chairman of
the committee in charge Of the
banquet.

PWA HOLDS UP
WAGES Of 125

More than 125 workers of the
Public Works Administration en-
ployed in Beltsville, Md, received
no pay for the two-week period
between March Is and March 81,
it was learned from farm officials
today.
Officials stated, however, that
the $8,891 owing to the employees
for this period was virtually paid
up today. Only a few workers
have yet to collect their back sal
aries, and this will be done within
a few days.
The situation, it was explained.
arose from the fact that many of
the workers have not been classi-
fled under an executive order from
President Roosevelt.
Those affected by the tempo
rary suspension Of pay included
supervisors, clerks, stenographers.
foremen and "white-collar" work
ers generally.

work at the agricultural expert
ment station at Beltsville.

AAA BACK PAY
STILL DENIED

More than 1000 employees Of
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration will probably be the
last Government workers in
Washington to receive their S
per cent pay restoration for Feb
ruary and March.
Officials today revealed that
the task Of preparing the salary
lists for so large an organization
has taken more time than was
expected. and that payment Of
checks may not be made until
the end Of next week.
All en~loyeS of the Depart
ment of Agriculture have been
given the back pay. Financial
affairs Of the two agencies are
handled by the same force, and
the Agriculture Department lists
were put through first.

Cansinos Return
To Heish-Ho

The Cansinos, that polished
dance team which was an early
attraction at the Heigh-Ho Club,
has returned to repeat earlier tri-
umphs at the corner of Connecti-
cut Avenue and @ Street.
There are few ballroom artists
appearing at the country's smart
night spots with such variety of
routines as this Spanish couple.
Their dances are frequently pune
tuated with castanetS, yet both are
so adept with heel-and-toe mas
terry as to be able to negotiate
difficult tap numbers.
With the Heigh-Ho Girls, Marty
Rubin, Jimmy Nichols and all
those other members of the band
who do specialties. Maestro Pete
MaciaS has developed a little en-
tertainment company all his own.
It was inevitable that the Heigh-
Ho Girls would stay on even when
the midnight spotlight played upon
another act.

That the Alexandria City
Council has the right to con-
struct a proposed $250,000 high
school is said to be the conclu-
sion reached in three legal
opinions which will be read at

called for Tuesday night by
Mayor E. F.. Ticer.
While not made public yet,
the opinions, which are from At
torney General A. P. Staples,
Commonwealth's Attorney AL
bert V. Bryan and City Attorney
Carl Budwesky, are said to hold
that the council and not the
school board should expend. the
money borrowed from the PWA
for the structure.
The opinions were received just
in time as the PWA has given
localities until May l to start
projects. The council is expected

REYNOLDS
To REDRAFT
USURY BILL

With hearings on the King
usury bill completed. Senator
Robert r. Reynolds CD of North
Carolina, chairman Of the Senate
District subcommittee in charge
of the measure, said today he will
have the measure redrafted and
favorably reported to the full
committee during the coming
week.
AS originally introduced the
bill merely prescribed that charges
above the normal interest rate
would be unlawful, but various
amendments have been proposed
and some will be written into the
bill.
Rates to Be Fixed
William A. Roberts, special
corporation counsel, who has been
working with the subcommittee,
proposed an amendment which
would specify charges which may
be made on loans of various
amounts. Senator Reynolds and
the majority of witnesses ap-
peared to be favorable to it.
Senator Reynolds also has in
dicated a desire to reduce the
license fee for money lenders who
charge more than 6 per cent on
small loans.
The fee now is $500, but it has
been brought out in the testi-
mony that the money lenders and
local authorities have paid little
heed to this.
Prosecution Promised
During the hearing yesterday
Senator Reynolds asked Corpora
ton Counsel E. Barrett Pretty
man if there is any reason why
violators should not be prose
cuted, and Mr.. Prettyman an
SWered:
81 see no reason why they
should not be prosecuted, and 1
shall begin to prosecute them"
Mr.. Prettyman indicated that
since it is possible the license fee
might be reduced, he may wait
until the new measure becomes
law and then inaugurate a cam
palgn to rid the city of violators.

SEN. THOMAS

Senator Elmer Thomas of Okla
homa, who sponsored the Thomas
amendment, will speak before the
Central Labor Union at the Typo
graphical Temple Monday eve
ming. and all Government workers
are invited to attend the meeting.
The amendment provides for a
40-hour week with 48 hours pay,
and is already effective at the
Government Printing Office and
at the Navy Yard. It will affect
about one-fifth of the employees
Of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing.
The American Federation of
Government Employees, as result
of the amendment, is urging a
five-day week applicable to all
workers in the Government serv-
ice.
