Ray FOR GUARDS
MADE AVAILABLE
Budget Director Approves
Transfer of Funds to Avert
Stoppage Of Wages.

| Stopping of the salaries OF 288
guards and other employees Of the Dis
trict Reformatory and Workhouse
because Of insuficiency of available
funds for the last half Of this month
was avoided today when Budget Di-
rector Douglas gave the Commissioners
permission to transfer appropriations
for various units under the Board of
Public welfare. -t.
At the same time Douglas informed
the Commissioners they could make
a similar shift of funds to avoid a
Today payless furlough for the SO
employees of the Health Department.
This would have been necessary be-
cause Of a lack of salary funds for
the last half of June.
Had not the approval been given in
the case. of the workhouse and re-
formatory employees the guards and
other employees would have had to
work without pay.
This situation was kept secret by
District ohicials until today for fear of
difficulties with the prisoners had
they learned of the non-payment of
the guards. It was feared such
knowledge might have inspired some
recalcitrant prisoners to attempt a
break.
The budget director approved the
transfer Of appropriation items total
ing $4,000 from other welfare units,
which otherwise would have gone un-
expended, in providing for full sal
aries for the remainder of June for
the penal employees.
Funds totaling $4,000 were trans
ferred In the Health Department ap-
preparation to provide for payment of
the Health Department employees.

AGAIN PROTESTED j
Internal Revenue Bureau
Lodge, No. AT, Opposes
Restrictions.

An additional protest against re-
striction Of an&day parking facilities
In the park system, in the Mall,
around the Washington Monument
and in the region of the Lincoln Me
mortal today was laid before Arno B.
Cammerer, director of the National
Park Service, by Internal Revenue
Bureau Lodge. No. ~, of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Government EN-
ployes in the Treasury Department.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue
fronts on Constitution avenue at
Twelfth street. just across from the
Mall. - -
Mr.. Cammerer declared today, that
he is still studying the parking situ-
alton and has on his desk q map,
submitted by c. Marshall Finnan, su-
perintendent Of the National Capital
Parks, showing just what parking
ban steps are being proposed. The
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission at its meeting early this
week suggested that parking prohibi-
ton should be closely related to an
improved transportation system for
the public here. z
The American Federation Of Gov
ernment Employees recently handed to
Mr.. Cammerer O. protest against the
parking ban, signed by some 1000
Government workers in the Navy,
Munitions, Public Health Service and
adjacent buildings.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue
employees said in their, protest: The
parking restrictions as they now exist
are totally prohibitfye as well as i'm
practicable. It Is necessary for
literally thousands Of us to drive our
cars to and from work. Most Of US
cannot now secure paid parking
space in the very limited parking
area available within walking dis
tance Of our Offices"
The resolution asserted that addi-
tional unnecessary expense will be
incurred If additional parking restric-
tions are. enforced. The workers
characterized present transportation
facilities as inadequate and un-
satisfactory" .', 49,.

The per cent salary increase

thus far has been absorbed in several

the independent agencies by various
economies, thus making it unneces-
sary for additional obligations to be
incurred to care for it.
At the same time, it was learned
today, instructions have gone out
from the Budget Bureau, through
the medium of a Treasury circular
advising all departmental and bureau
heads to effect savings wherever pos

Saving on Vacancies.
C. A large measure Of saving has been

that in the one item of not filling
vacancies, the appropriations thereby
impoun6ed will far more than bal
ance the extra cost of the new pay
scale that has prevailed for the last
five months Of the current fiscal
year.
A dollar and cents analysis of the
actual cost of the pay increase is not
yet available, but the budget estimate
at the time the legislation was
passed over President Roosevelt's
veto late in March put it at ST.
o0o, 900.
: In those independent agencies
which have not been able to make
their accounts balance with the in
creased salary expenditures, it was
understood that generally they were
not much overheard.
Instructions on Savings.
The budget instructions on savings
for the next fiscal year are in line
with those issued a year ago. They
are mandatory only so far as they
will require departmental heads to
justify the course to the director Of
the Bureau Of the Budget, any time
1t becomes necessary to draw against
the indefinite appropriation voted by
Congress to care for the successive
pay increases.
Meanwhile, Government employees
are preparing to enter on the last
two weeks Of work at salary rate
Of 90 per cent base pay.
With the coming of July 1, the
rate moves to 95 per cent-unless the
President should decide raising living
costs justify complete restoration.
This Is not looked for.
The new pay scale will throw addi-
tional millions into circulation in
Washington.

it was suggested that similar steps

In connection with possible British

L the west pediment of the new
Supreme Court Building, David
Lynn. architect of the Capitol, said
today.
A model for the decoration has
been prepared by Robert Aitken,
California sculptor. now resident In
New York, and approved by the
United States Supreme Court Build
ing Commission. Chief Justice Charles
Evans Hughes, chairman. Actual
carving has been begun in the space
allotted high above the principal
entrance of the massive structure,
which is to be the first independent
shelter the highest tribunal Of the
land has had since the adoption of
the Constitution.
Mr.. Aitken," Mr.. Lynn explained,
has aimed at simplicity with direct
ness of motif. His composition is
rich in relief, and true in balance
and scale. The artist was fortunate
in having the advice and guidance of
the late Cass Gilbert, architect of
the building But he also has re-
sponded freely to the direction of his
own genius, and his work is ex-
ceedingly noble and inspiring.
