READY FOR
PAY FIGHT
Two Employees Groups Set to
Stage Merit, Retirement
Drives at Capitol

Government employees polished
their guns for their 1885 congres.
sional attack as the Seventy-fourth
Congress convened today.
Workers in all branches of the
Federal service, in all sections of
the country, look on this session
of Congress as one of the most i'm
portant in years. so far as their
issues are concerned.
Questions of pay restoration, the
merit system, hours, retirement, a
court of appeals and other issues
are to be laid before the new Con-
gress within the next few weeks,
with both employe organizations
fighting for substantially the same
program.
BabcOck Voices Hope
Many members of the new Con-
gress already have been found to
be favorable toward restoration of
the remaining five per cent OF
Government salaries, with Senator
Pat McCarran CD Of Nevada,
author cf the ''five and five" plan
Of rest ararses now IN effect,
pledged to Introduce a Dit III tire
Senate, and Representative Glenn
Griswold (DO Of Indiana, in the
House. I
In a statement issued today, E.
Claude Babcock, president Of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, declared:
1--WE hope for full pay reStOra-
ton early in the session. We do
not see how there can be any
other fair solution Of this prob
lem. Living costs are advancing
steadily; wages are at q IS per
cent level. Fairness demands q
change"
Other changes important to
Government employees are also
contemplated in this session.
Objectives HarmOnized
With both employe organiza.
tions complaining about the in.
roads made on the merit system
since the beginning Of the present
Administration, it is expected that
legislation will be introduced
early in the session to place en-
ployes in all the emergency or
ganizationS of the Government
under civil service.
Such legislation has the backing
of President Roosevelt.
Both the A. F. G. E. and the
National Federation of Federal
Employees are working for restora-
tion of 80 days annual leave and
protection of the retirement
funds.

By FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL

Efforts to obtain more liberal
treatment for the depositors of
closed banks were resumed with
a bang today as the new Congress
convened.
Two bills by Representative
Clarence j. Mcleod, (R), If
Michigan, designed finally to
clean up the closed bank mess
were dropped into the House
topper as soon as that body met.
One of the measures would
make mandatory the purchase Of
assets of closed banks on a liberal
appraisal basis by the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation.
The other would appoint the

closed banks, its principal object,

The bills would give the de-

Of dollars were paid back to de-

While the McLeod-Steagall bill

Garner Speeds Swearing Of

BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

Falling gavels in both Senate
and House on the stroke of noon
sent the New Deal Seventy-fourth
Congress away on it's long and i'm
portant legislative career today,
with the South in theale, but
with the reins of control neld by
President Roosevelt.
Crowded galleries watched the
getaway as '"Texas Jack" Garner,
Vice President, raped the Senate
to order and tall, somber South
Trimble, Kentucky, clerk OF the
House, brought the noisy House
floor to some semblance Of quiet.
He soon turned the gavel over to
Representative Joe Byrns of Ten
nessee, the new Speaker.
In the corridors and about the
Capitol were hundreds unable to
gain admission because Of Lack OF
gallery space. Even members were
unable to procure tickets for
friends and relatives to see them
take the oath.
"a New Members Sworn .......
In both Houses, the swearing in
Of new members began immedi'
ately after the roll calls. To expe-
dite the business, the House mem
bership took the oath enmaSSe.
The Senate, being a continuing
body and somewhat more digni-
fled, administered the oaths to 30
odd new members in patches.
The House, always bolSterous'
presented a show.
For the first time in history, 1t
permitted sound movies to be
taken of the opening, and the great
oblong chamber was glittering in
the bright Kleig lights and messy
with picture paraphernalia.
To add to the confusion, an un'
usual number of children were on
the floor. Their proud parents
were unable to obtain gallery seats
for them.
First Lady Attends
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
with a party of friends that in
cluded Miss Nancy Cook, her busi-
ness partner, ard Marion Dicker-
man, an old teaching colleague,
occupied the Executive gallery in
the house. Mrs. Roosevelt was
present to see her close friend,
Mrs. Caroline ODay, take her
seat from New York. Mrs. RooSe-
welt was severely attired in black,
with wide white collars and cuffs.
Women members of the House
held little courts on the floor
until Mr.. Trimble's gavel raped
them to their seats. All wore
new gowns for the important oc-
casion, and some of them cor
