There's considerable agitation
to get the job of one Of the big
men in the Home Loan Corpora
ton.
It seems that this person-we
could tell you his name but we
won't-has been very discourteouS
to several persons who have been
sent to him by members of Con-
greSs.
Floyd G. Davis, president Of Lin
coin National Bank, does not like
publicity, so he told photographers
who went down to his establish
ment to take pictures of all the
flowers the establishment received
on the occasion Of it's forty y-fourth
birthday anniversary.
Marshall Exnicios, vice president
of Robert G.. Jones & Company,
Inc, is one of the most likable
fellows in the local financial field.
Bankers generally are interest
ed in the bill introduced by Sena-
tor Glass.
This bill proposes, among other
things, to allow industrial firms
to borrow money directly from the
Federal Reserve Bank Board.
The bankers are interested be-
cause they say an industrialist can
come to them and ask for a $50 =
600 loan.
In such cases the banker will
say:
1--WE aren't making that kind
of lOans."
Under the Glass bill, though,
any industrialist would be per-
mitted to go to the Federal Re-
serve Bank in his district. present
his statement Of condition and get
the loan.
Oddly, the bankers hope that
the bill will be approved.
A. Harmer Reeside is very mod
est these days. Now that John
Mothershead is with him, he says
that he doesn't do any talking.
Mr.. Reside and Mr.. Mothers
head are with Westheimer &
Company. When you ask Mr..
Reside something, he refers you
to Mr.. MotherShead. And when
you ask Mr.. Mothershead he re-
ferS you to Mr.. Reside.

PAY GUT FIGHT
IS OUTLINED
CONTINUED from Page 2.)

N~VUSkbOSO SBV"S ~SS S"/
which Senator Pat McCarran (D)
Of Nevada, champion Of full pay
return, was one Of the most out
standing personalities. Largely
through his efforts, the Senate on
February IL agreed to full restora-
ton of salaries, beginning July /,
per cent of which was to be re-
stored retroactive to February l..
Each day there appeared in The
Washington Times editorials urg-
ing full pay restoration. Mean
while, the Senate wrangled over
the veterans relief provisions of
the bill, and finally on February 27
passed the measure, with the Nc
Carran full pay amendment and
increased veterans provisions.
Tactics Reversed
But here the House leadership
created an almost unprecedented
procedure in a maneuver to refer
the bill back to the House Appro-
priations Committee instead of
sending it to conference.
At this stage the galleries on
Capitol Hill were packed daily.
There were repeated cheers, and
an editorial appearing in The
Washington Times was placed in
the Congressional Record in the
Senate.
Realizing they could gain
nothing by this procedure, leaders
again sent the bill to the House
for vote upon the Senate amend
mentS.
The House, refusing to agree to
the full pay restoration plan, ap-
proved the IS and S" proposal on
the grounds that it would proba-
bly, be approved by the President.
In the heated debates that fol-
lowed, there was talk that the
President would undoubtedly veto
the bill. On March Is it was fl
nally sent to conference.
After a tWo-hour meeting, the
conferees adjourned in disagree
ment. Taken back to the House
again, for the second time that
body maintained it's position on
the IS and S" restoration plan.
Delayed a Week
Then came a delay of a week.
Administration leaders sought to
reduce expenditures called for in
the bill, and the conference re-
port was taken up the follow
ing Monday. On March %, the
IS and 5" conference report
was agreed to in the House.
The Senate leadership, however,
contended it was powerless to
decrease the expenditures in the
IS and 5" plan, and predicted
that President Roosevelt would
veto the bill, principally because
of certain veterans provisions.
Senator McCarran said he be-
lieved the IS and S" plan was
the best that could be obtained.
He offered the motion that the
Senate concur in the House sal
ary provisions. Then on March
%, four days following the
action of the House, the Senate
finally agreed to the conference
report.
The bill was Immediately sent
to the President, who vetoed it
last Tuesday.
The following day the House
overrode the Presidents veto by
80 to 70, and the next day it
was passed in the Senate over
the presidential veto, by So to 27.

CLle uoC1Ou CnaC
credit is bound
~ less, and that
Lewis Aaney the Government
can "create purchasing power by
giving its credit to it's citizens.
And there is involved that
widespread tendency to take
wealth away from one group for
the purpose of giving it to an
other.
Whether you like it or not, this
action by Congress is closely
similar to much that the Admin
iStration has itself been doing.
It is directly traceable to the
monetary and reform" policies
of the New Deal.
Not the Answer
The veterans and Federal en-
ployes say they need the money
as much as farmers or silver mine
owners. Well, maybe they do.
Certainly such phrases as "Socia
Justice" and "a more abundant
life" do not help answer the ques-
ton.
Who first put the nations bud
get hopelessly out of balance and
sWelled the public debt to record
breaking size? Who first put the
dollar off the gold standard and
made a mere paper dollar with
out any standard but government
credit? Who first began distrib-
uting the billions among farmers,
mine owners and CWA workers, -
and financing various reform
schemes?
The idea Of creating purchas-
ing power" is very dangerous. It
soon leads to the notion that the
government is justified in giving
money to anyone, just to put
money into circulation" A "vet.
eran" will do as well as any other
Spender.
Source Explained
But where is the money" to
come from? Not from production,
but from the boundleSs govern.
ment credit! In reality, that
means just two possibilities: Cd
either the taxpayers of this or fu.
ture generations, or 90 initiation,
which is a forced levy on all peo.
pie who have any money or fixed
money incomes.
Already the government, by re
pudiating gold clauses and ode
valuation" has taken over 40 per
cent Of your moneys purchasing
power, and has written up a pa,
per profit" of nearly 800 million
dollars which it is spending"
But taking away the purchas-
ing power of people who have, or
are earning money, cannot in
crease the total purchasing power.
And how long can the spend
ing of bonuses or inflated cur
rency last? Only as long as
Government credit holds up and
continues to be poured out.
The Enduring Basis
The only enduring basis for
spending is production. The man
who produces an earned income
whether by labor, or capital or
enterprise) can go on spending
it indefinitely. Others are re-
ceiving a sort of dole, whatever
it may be called.
Frankly, I personally agree
with the President in this case.
But I do not agree with his New
Deal economies, and I think that
If all this Government spending
is to go on, some of it might as
well go to veterans and Federal
employees, as to mine owners.
To be sure, the bonus may be
more permanent, but that is
hardly a matter of principle.
The bill dangerously increases
the public debt, but so does the
other New Deal spending. It
would not bring the debt to the
danger point except for RFC
CWA, PWA, IVA, and the rest
Of it. .
OF course it tends toward more
Initiation. But if prices are to be
raised "by one means or another" "
why not by this means?
Does the passage of this bill
not raise the question: Can we
count on initiation being con
trolled?"

Ludlow, Mass, Nov SUP J. This little manufacturing commun- ity resembled a war-torn town to- day as local and steel-helmeted state police patrolled its streets in pairs to prevent new outbreaks among strikers anw sympathizers fro mthe Jute mill of the Ludlow Manufacturing Associates. A how ling, jeering mob surged through it's main thoroughfares yesterday and last night. pulling fire boxes, fighting and stoning the mill. the police station, stores and private dwellings.
 The homes of company officials and Justice George B. Haas were guarded from hostile. hoodlums. Eight men were arrested. The state police were called during the afternoon. Aid also was sent from Springfield and Holyoke. One man was in hospital and scores of others suffered battered heads and other injuries.
 Some 1900 workers went on strike at the plant more than a month ago. the mill later reopen ed, then closed again for repairs. New demands for higher wages and shorter working hours were made last week. but were refused by company officials who threaten ed an indefinite closure. Since then only mechanics have remained at their machines. The initial dis turbance started when strikers re- turned from a meeting at Indian Orchard, across the Chicopee river, and began picketing the plant.

 He did so under the coldly watchful eyes of millions of people who demanded government party politics, and who seemed ready to turn into the streets in riot if ne- cessary to enforce their demand.
 There were heavy police and re- publican guard patrols in the cen- tral districts of Paris but the city was quiet.

WIDOW OF SLAIN MAN QUESTIONED
 BY AUTHORITIES
Body of Amanda SalviOne Found in Sack on the
 Orange Highway

Orange, Conn, Nov 9-(UP)-- The widow of Amanda Salvione, AS, Bridgeport, was questioned to- day as authorities endeavored to shed light on the brutal murder of her husband on an isolated road here yesterday.
 Salvione, his feet pulled up his back with a rope attached to his neck in such a way as to cause strangulation, and his body stuffed in burlap sack, apparently was the victim of a gang killing and his body thrown from an automobile.
 His skull was fractured and there was evidence he had been beaten and kicked, either before or after he died.
 Salvione was an acquaintance of Tatsy Santora and Charles Bona fjglia. two other Brfdgepoyf men who were murdered under myster- ious circumstances last year. San- tora's body, wrapped in billiard table cloth. was found floating in Pequonnock river. Bonafiglia was shot to death near Black Rock cemetery.
 Authorities believed Salvione, who was arrested last May for op- erating a still, may have had some connection with a liquor ring or had some knowledge of the two previous slayings. He was ques- toned in both cases last year but released.
 In his pocketbook was found two police permits to carry a gun at Bridgeport and New Haven. On the latter his occupation was listed as a "jewelry salesman. It expired Dec 31, 1882

BUY FRAGMENTS OF OLDEST BIBLE

Vienna, Nov 9.-(UP)-The National Library announced today that Chester Beatty, an American, and Prof Hans Gerstinger, of Vii enna university, had purchased at Cairo additional fragments of what is believed to be the oldest Bible, dating from the second, century.
 In book, not scroll form, it was said, the fragments comprise parts of the Old Testament, Mathew and Paul. They were bought, the li- brary announced, from persons supposed to have found them in q water jar, buried in the cellar of Christian monastery. in Egypt
 The Bible was believed to be the oldest document in book form, and its presence in the monastery was taken to indicate that the Christian church invented book form, to replace the Oriental scroll.
