HOUSE VOTED BILL

Senator Francis Hogan of TorringtOn Fought for
 the Measure
BY WILLIAM J. MORIARTY Especial Legislative Reporter)

State Capitol, Hartford, March 1 - The proposal to restore pay cuts to all state employees, which was rejected by the House yesterday, re- ceived sufficient support in the Senate this morning to upset the unfavorable report of the judiciary committee and have it tabled.
 This action came when upon motion of Senator William Thomp- son the combined democratic and socialist vote in the Senate oyer- came the republicans, who also voted as unit. This action of the socialist members of the Sem ate came as a surprise as their stand has been for economy in the state government right along and elimination of fresh expenses.
 Senator Francis w. Hogan Of Torrington brought the matter to a head when he said, q am not syrl- pathetic with the officials in the

JAPAN APPEARS
 TO BE SKEPTICAL

Tokyo, March 1.-(UP)--Japan- ese circles generally adopted a skeptical attiture to-day toward reports that China and Japan had reached a formal rapprochment agreement.
 Both bankers and newspapers were doubtful of any Chinese promises to carry out closer rela. tions with Japan.
 The Japanese foreign office con- tinued to insist that Japanese anu Chinese representatives merely had exchanged views and that the con- versations had not reached the stage of concrete proposals.

EARTHQUAKES IN
 FOUR STATES IN
 THE EARLY HOUR
Two Came Within Four Minutes of Each Other;
 Details Lacking

Lincoln, Neb, March 1 - (UP)
 - Two sharp earthquakes, within four minutes of each other, shook at least four states shortly after 6 a. m. The temblors rocked south east Nebraska, southwest Iowa, northwest Missouri and northeast Kansas. Reports said the quakes had been felt as far south as To- peka. Kas. and as far west as Grand Island. Neb.
 First checks indicated that although the shocks were sharp state, region, no damage had been done.
 The first tremor was felt at Lincoln few seconds after 5 a. m. rocking houses and waking sleep ing citizens. The second struck at 5:O4 rattling china in coupboards and swaying pictures on falls.
 Reports here said the temblors centered in the southeast corner of Nebraska in the vicinity of Falls City, and were severe near St Joseph, Mo. Communications con- panies reported that at Grand Is- land, in central Nebraska, the shocks had been felt distinctly. Kearney, North Platte and other Nebraska cities farther west, did not record the quakes, so far as could be learned.
 St Joseph, Mo, March 1 -(UP)
 Two earthquake shocks at about 5 a. m. awakened scores of light sleepers here but otherwise did no damage. The first shock was the more intense. Most of the per- sons who reported 1t to the local weather bureau said the sensation was similar to that caused when a heavy truck rumbles along the pavement.
 Omaha, March 1 - (UP) - The temblors which shook portions of four states were plainly felt here by early risers. Night workers at the telephone company said one sharp quiver was felt. No dam- age to poles or lines was reported, however.
 Kansas City, Mo- March - (UP) - An earthquake shock was felt here at 5:03 a. m. It was followed few seconds later by an- other. The shocks were intense enough to awaken sleeping per sons but did no damage.

FLIGHT OF FRANK
 HAWKS HAS BEEN SUDDENLY ENDED
Was to Fly New Type of Machine to Cuba and South America

New York, March 1--(UP)- )---s Abrupt cancellation of Frank Hawks speed flight to Cuba and South America today removed any possibility that his mission would be misinterpreted due to his plane's close resemblance to mili-8 tary craft. The Northrop company, Inglewood, Cal, Hawks employer, called off the flight six hours be- fore the scheduled takeoff. The flyer was ordered to return to the west coast immediately.
 Hawks ship, cargo carrying in it's present form, Is a low-wing monoplane with a single 715 horsepower motor. It has two cock pits and closely resembles Northrop bombers which have been sold to China. The Northrop factory has a war department contract for 110 attack ships, capable of 215 miles an hour speed with six machine guns and bombs. This fact led to speculation on whether the gov- ernment had suggested that Hawks' flight be cancelled. Erroneous reports had referred to Hawks 7 ship as an "attack plane." Cause for misunderstanding was consid- cred possible in view of the sem ate's inquiry into arms and muni-, tions sales in South America.
 The apparent purpose of Hawks projected flight was to demonstrate possibilities of fast single- motored plane and to make pre- liminary survey for the proposed international air race around South America.
 Hawks offered no explanation for his organizations action.
 "All know," he said, "is have been recalled. I am working for the Northrop organization and of course must go."

Are Voted
Pay Raise
SIS Per Cent Hike to Be
Given City Educators
by Board.

The situation of the indianapolis
public school teachers, VIGOROUSLY
underpaid since 1882, was relieved
last night as the Board of School
Commissioners voted without dis
sent to restore SIS per cent of the II
per cent wage cut adopted by the
board since 1882.
The reductions are based upon the
1927 wage schedule which was
amended toward reduction in 1882
as the effects Of the depression be-
gan to be felt on the school city
finances.
In addition, the Indiana legisla-
ture levied a sliding wage cut Of
from to Is per cent in 1882 on
teachers salaries. Action taken by
the board in 1882 to suspend all
automatic salary increases was not
changed by the board last night.
The new salary schedule will be
placed in effect at the September
school term
The board gave three reasons for
the salary increase-increased cost
of living, salaries of Indianapolis
teachers are 9 per cent below the
national average, and a general
trend throughout the nation to-
ward restoring pay cuts to teachers.
The salary action will benefit es-
pecially a group of young teachers
with one to four years experience
who we're receiving from $1,000 to
s118O a year. All teachers with ex-

RISE IN MILK
PRICES HERE
IS PROBABLE
Agreement to Be Filed With
State Control Board in>
Next Few Days.
GRADED SYSTEM LIKELY
Farmers Share Now Com
pareS Well With Other
Areas, Assertion.

The price of milk to the Indian
apolis consumer probably will be
raised under an agreement between
producers, distributors and brokers
to be filed within a day or two with
the State Milk Control Board for its
approval.
Milk now is 10 cents quart,
which compares favorably with
prices in other sections.
Although no member of the board,
which has been celebrating on the
agreement for the last week. would
make any statement whatever on the
probable price after The agreement
if approved and put into operation
as provided in the 1885 Indiana milk
act, all indications pointed to the
probability of an increase.
National price indices show a gem
eral increase in the prices of farm
products, an advance that outstrips
the advances in prices of other
classes of commodities.
This, coupled with other condi-
lions peculiar TO the indianapolis
milk situation and somewhat grow
ing out of the arbitration of last
falls milk war here, make the in
dication unacceptable.
It was intimated by persons close
to the negotiations, too, that the
system Of paying the producers for
milk will be changed from a fiat
price, as it now is and has been
since the fall milk war, to a sys-
tenn of grade milk as nearly every
other city and milkshed in the
country has.
The prices now paid the farmer
compare we'll enough with the prices
paid in other milksheds. The last
report of the National Cooperative
Milk Producers Federation, in
Washington, of milk prices to farm
ers and consumers from all popu-
lation centers in the country, re-
leased April II and covering the
