Tomorrow Night

Still slippery and icy from the
recent 11-inch snowfall, Washing
ton today was covered with an
other snow.
Despite Weather Bureau pre-
dictions that the day would be
fair and warmer, snow began fall
ing at 9:55 a. m, with slight
flurries reported in northwest
Washington earlier than that.
The Weather Bureau could not
predict anything about the snow,
describing it as a disturbance
Of no consequence whatever"
The thermometer stood at Is de.
grees when the snow began fall
ing, with the expectation that it
would remain just about that for
the rest of the day.
The minimum temperature of
the day was recorded at 3 a. M,
when the thermometer registered
19 degrees. It rose steadily until
the snowfall.
The weather man predicted to-

are approximately 1900 persons
above the age of IS now on the
relief rolls, and that the total
number of persons living in the
city above that age is $1,000.
SIS Monthly Average
The average payment to persons
on relief now is in the neighbor-
hood of $25 a month, and this
group would be shifted to regular
pension rolls at a like average ex-
penditure by the District.
To this monthly sum, however,
the Federal Government, under
the security legislation, would add
so per cent, and the average pay
ment per person would be approx
mately $35.
District officials today esti-
mated that the cost to the city
for the old-age pension provision
would be about $500,000 a year,
and that to raise such sum addi-
tional Federal contribution or
taxes would be necessary.
Commissioner Hazen said an
inheritance tax such as is now
operating in many States would
provide enough income to finance
the old-age pension measure.
Other alternatives in tax legis-
lation, according to District Off
cialS, are contained in various
District tax measures now before
Congress.

WORKERS HEAD.
To PUSH BILL
|NCONGRESS
Revision of Present System
Would Provide Reserve
For An Emergency

E. Claude Babcock, president of
the American Federation of Gov.
ernment Employees, today declared
that his organization is not only
seeking legislation to restore 80
day annual leave to Federal EN-.
ployes but is also seeking intro.
duction of a "Sick-leave credit
plan" bill.
The proposed resolution, which
Babcock expects to be introduced
within a few days, would provide
all civilian employees Of the Fed
eral and District of COLUMBIA
Government with one and one.
quarter days of sick leave, with
pay, per month. It would be
cumulative, so that an employee
fortunate enough not to require
sick leave could accrue a sizahle
reserve in case of emergency.
Could Make Advance
Administrative officers could
also advance 80 days sick leave
beyond the accruals in cases Of
serious disability, or when thought
necessary.
Babcock said today:
"AbOut rs per cent of EN-.
plOyeS take sick leave in any
one year, and they take so much
that the average is raised to
about six days yearly for all.
The bill would discourage ma
lingering and encourage the
saving of sick leave, operating
similarly to banking methods.
Under the present system, the
IS per cent who don't take sick
leave, operating similarly to
banking methods. Under the
present system, the IS per cent

ONLY ! OVER S4OO
The federation leader also re.
vealed that an analysis of the
first 1000 questionnaireS returned
in answer to the quiz sponsored
by Representative William I. Siro.
vich showed that only seven EN-.
ployes received $400 a month or
more, 18 getting less than $50.
The salary average hovers around
500 monthly.
However, Babcock said, the
early returns are mostly from
high-grade clerical employees &C.
customed to. filling out forms,
which tends to throw the pay
average higher than is actually
the case.

PAY BILL FACES
SENATEVOTE
MONDAY
Senator McCarran to Offer an
Amendment; Approval of
April Return Seen

Senate approval of immediate
pay restoration for Government
workers will be voted upon Mon
day, according to indications to-
day.
Action of the Senate, however,
is not expected to give employees
a complete victory, since it is
learned on unimpeachable au-
thority that the final outcome will
be a compromise, giving the work
ers full restoration of their sal.
aries effective April l.
Senator Pat McCarran D0, Of
Nevada, will offer an amendment
to the pending deficiency appro-
priations bill, proposing paycut
elimination retroactive to January
/, which employe organizations
and the American Federation of
Labor have been urging.
Senator Adams Definite
Senator Alva B. Adams (D.), OF
Colorado, chairman of the sub
committee in charge of the de-
ficiency bill, said the measure
probably will come before the Sen
ate Monday.
Partially based on views ex-
pressed by Senator Adams, the be.
lief prevails that the Senate will
accept either Senator McCarran's
amendment or a modification of
of that proposition. Senator
Adams said:
II think we can get the bill
up Monday, since, although the
League Court will be before the
Senate, / do not contemplate
consideration of the bill nor
Senator McCarran'S amendment
will take much time.
"Of course, I cannot speak
for the Senate, but / do not
think there will be much trOu-
BILE concerning the pay restOra-
ton amendment.
Is Compromise
II do not believe point of
order will be raised against the
amendment, and, as far as I am
concerned, I should like to see
the amendment adopted quickly.
/ rather think it will, SO much
50 that I'll bet Pm right"
Such an expression from the
chairman of the subcommittee in
charge of the pending measure
Immediately suggested the theory
that some agreement has been
reached between Administration
and antipaycut forces.
It is the first time the Colorado
Senator has expressed such a
definite opinion on the matter,
and, as a matter of fact, the first
time he has definitely committed
himself in favor of the restoration
legislation.
McCarran Insistent
From others closely connected
with the situation, it is under
stood that the impasse has been
broken, by agreement, upon the
compromise affecting 100 per cent
salaries beginning April /.
This date would be $3.50 yield
on the part of the Administra-
ton and the anti-pay-cut forces.
The Administration had set July
as the date for restoring salaries.
Senator McCarran, however,
says he will press for a vote on
his January l proposition.

The nursery schools were approved
