they booked a near-nude night

figured Mae West in "Sl1e Done

ture for Loew's Palace. They paid
Jack Pearl $4,000 a week because
he hit on the radio. They tried
to make Milton Berle an F Street
headliner for the family audience.
They admit striking out a few
times. But over the years their
batting average in the amusement
league is away over 500. They are
the shrewdest amusement sales

To ASSIST
LEGISLATION
ONPAY GUT
Separate Vote To Be Barred
As Provision Becomes Part
Of Appropriation

Legislative conferees of the
American Federation Of Labor to-
day were informed that the Gov
ernment pay cut provision will be
incorporated in the Independent
Offices Appropriations bill under
adoption of a closed rule which
will prevent a separate vote on the
pay cut.
The conferees were Of the opin-
ion, following receipt Of this in
formation, that the most effective
method of attack was to defeat
the rule itself, and members Of
Congress friendly to the cSuse Of
the Government workers we're
planning to make a fight.
Two Are "ShOck Troops"
Representatives Clyde Kelly
(RD of New York and James w.
Mead CD of New York were ex-
pected to be the "shock troops"
for this operation.
The conference also attacked
the principle underlying cost Of
living determination of Govern
ment salaries, contending that the
employees investigated by the sur
vey were arbitrarily chosen by lot
and that five separate cost Of iv-
ing indices were produced by the
inquiry, ranging from IL to 81 per
cent.
It was also the view Of the
conference that living costs will
be much higher during the cur
rent six months than they were
during the six months just ended,
and that the unfairness of the
living cost theory was demon
strated by this evidence that
there would always be a lag be-
tween advancing prices and sal
ary adjustments.
Others Equally Bitter
Organizations not affiliated
with the American Federation Of
Labor were equally bitter against
the pay cut situation. The Ma
tional Legislative Council of Fed
eral Employees issued a state
ment in which the present wage
situation in the Government Serv-
ice was styled "intolerable" and
promises were made that a ma
tion-wide campaign would be
launched for redress of the griev-
ances Of the Government work.
erS.
General Johnson's own state
ment few days ago on the STEP
up Of prices that will be permitted
in certain industries reveals the
certainty that living costs will
advance, and it is expected that
this ammunition will be utilized
in attempts to defeat the extern
sion of wage-cut practices during
the present session of Congress.

Although no decision has been
