NIGHT LIFE OUT,
SAYS BAER

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. ~
G.N.SO.-Max Baer, heavyweight
challenger, today stated that he
had definitely given UP his role as
a "sun dodger." Max confided:
From now on I'm going to
be o 9 o'clock guy"
Ancil Hoffman, his manager
said:
II had a little chat with
Max, and 1 believe l convinced
Max that he should see more Of
the sunlight and less Of the
electric light"
Hoffman said he pointed out
to Baer that because Of innumer-
able legal tangles the big fellow
had been working mostly for at
torneys, adding:
"Why, he has lawyers in New
York, Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco and Sacramento, and these
fellows do not work for moth
ing"
Hoffman stated a match was
in the making for Baer next June.
He said he had a telephone call
from Colonel Fitzpatrick, head Of
Madison Square Garden, asking
that Baer stand by to meet the
winner of the Carnera-Loughran
fight.

ries by is per cent last March
by approving passage of the
economy act are prepared today
to admit the measure a mistake
and vote for the independent
office supply bill as soon as it
comes back from the Senate.
Among those who voted for the
pay cut but now want it restored
Is Representative Sol Bloom CD
of New York, nationally known
publicizer of George Washington,
who says:
Everybody else is getting in
creased wages and shorter work.

eminent workers, especially now
they are having to work so much
harder?"
Inconsistency Hit
OF the same opinion is Repre-
sentative Francis D. Culkin (R)
OF New York, whose comment is:
"The Administration is incOn-
Sistent in urging industry and
the public to spend freely, when
1t should lead the way by giving
fair salaries to its own employees.
"PeOple cannot spend lavishly
without having money to spend"
Eaton Also Shifts
A third member favoring elimi.
nation of the pay cut, although
he originally voted for it, is Rep
resentative Charles A. Eaton (R.O
of New Jersey, who says:
"Why should the Government
engage in cheese pairing on one
hand, while on the other hand
it dishes out money with q
shovel?
"Civil service employees went
through boom times without re.
ceiving salaries anywhere near
comparable to those paid by
private industry"
Injustice Scored
Still another ready to go back
on his vote of last March is Repre-
sentative Reuben T. Wood CD Of
Missouri. His comment is:
ut was neither sane economy
nor just to impose the Is per
cent pay cut on Federal en-
plOyes, and the Economy Act
was passed only because the
President and Congress did not
realize what great injustices it
would inflict on civilian EN-.
plOyeS and veterans.
81 certainly favor restoration
of the pay cut, because I believe
If we are going to raise prices
we should raise salaries. We
cannot have an increase of one
without an increase Of the
other"
With only a few Of the vet
eranS' relief amendments yet to
be voted upon, the Senate today
is expected to pass the indie
pendent offices bill and send the
measure to conference.
It was not expected that the
Senate will be long in passing
the bill today, due to the fact
that the 10-minute rule has been
invoked preventing any Senator
from talking on any amendment
or the bill for longer than 10
minutes.

If this course is followed, we

that depOsitOrs will lose at least
One-third of their savings.

"The other course, as mapped
out by my bill, calls for de-

the depOsitOrs receiving every

ing the third wee kof March come
pared with the beginning Of the
month. The general position is re-
garded as improved.
While copper production in the
United States showed no increase
in February compared with the

refined copper totaled $4,000 tons
The balance between production
and consumption Of copper on the
Continent has been favorable to a
steady price for the metal. Though
the output could easily be raised,
1t is not thought likely that pro-

conducive to disturbing the mar

Quota difficulties, and the inn
possibility of adjusting prices of
tin to manufacturers in the gold

are reported responsible for the
