PAY CUT FACES
PRESIDENT
BY EARL GOODWIN

A question puzzling some Of the
higher accounting officers Of the
Government is whether or not the
Constitution of the United States
makes it necessary to pay PreSi-
dent Roosevelt his full $3.50 for
his final bob-tail year of this, his
first administration, or whether
he will have to be docked for one
month and 13 days lopped off his
term by virtue of the lame duck
amendment, put through Con-
gresS by tbs Presidents friend,
Senator Norris, of Nebraska.
The Constitution does not fix
the Presidents salary, but it
specifies that whatever Congress
pays the President must be paid
right straight along-there can be
deductions, no increases, no de-
creaSes while he is in office. Con-
greSS cannot pay President $75,-
900 one year and then see a sue
ceeding Congress, not in SYM
pathy with the Presidents pol
icies, take it out of his pocket
book with a paycut.
Can't Have Pay Cut
In fact, the Constitution pre-
vented any cut in the Presidents
salary under the economy act.
However, he sent back to the
Treasury the same proportion of
his pay that was being taken off
of the rest of the Governments
workers.
The Presidents salary, there
fore, is fixed at $4,000 a year by
an act Of Congress. The Constitu-
ton says it cannot be reduced
while he is serving a term.
But the Constitution has also
shortened this first term through
the Lame Duck Amendment which
changes the date of Inauguration
from March to January 20.
That knocks one month and
13 days from the first RooSe-
welt term, which ordinarily would
have run until March 4, 1887.
Mr.. Roosevelt's pay is handed
him monthly in the shape of a
check for $6,25O. This check starts
at the office Of the Comptroller
General as certificate of
clearance" which is sent to the
Treasury as an o. K. on Frank
lin D. Roosevelt's salary.
Now the question arises: Is
he paid at the rate of $4,000
a year for four year term
making it a 100000 job for
the entire term-or can the
habit of the Government to cut
pay when the work is not done
prevail?
Would Lose $8,958
If the Comptroller Generals
office adopts the policy which it's
higher officials say they would
adopt if the question is presented
to them, the President would lose
pay for one month and 13 days
not Served-$8,958.33.
However, other constitutional
lawyers say that the Constitution
protects the President against any
pay cut; that he must be paid
$75, 900 for his fourth year in full
and that his next terms pay starts
January 20, 1887. That would
give him double pay for the month
and 13 days for which the Comp
troller Generals office seems likely
to consider as just so many days,
without reference to the Constitu-
ton.

CITIZEN ARMY
|SURGEDBY
GEN. CRAIG


With Europe teetering on the
edge Of war, establishment Of a
"citizen army" trained and ready
to spring to arms in immediate
defense of the United States, was
proposed today by General Malin
Craig, Chief of Staff of the Army.
Craig, in his annual report, on
the status Of the nations defense
forces, declared imperative" the
need for congressional authorize
ton and funds with which to Gre
ate a trained enlisted reserve
force which would be ready for
immediate use "in time of emer-
gency."
Four Point Program
The report laid down a four
point program calculated to as
sure advancement during 1888 Of
the five-year Army rehabilitation
plan conceived by Craig's prede-
ceSSor, Gen. Douglas Macarthur.
His recommendations are:
ONE-IncreaSe Of the regular
Army enlisted strength from
the $4,000 authorized for 1887
to 200, 900 for 1888.
TWO-Appropriation for 4S arm
ory drills and 15-day field camps
for the National Guard with
regular participation by Guard
regiments in the annual ma
neuvers Of the regulars, as in
1896.
Training Expanded
THREE-Fourteen days annual
training for 10000 reserve Off
GERS instead of 10000 and a
course in the general and Spe-
cial service schools for 300 OF
these officers.
FOUR-Enlargement Of "inade-
quate" appropriations for cltl-
zens' military training camps,
which now permit training OF
$4,000 men.
In support Of the proposed en-
listed reserve, the report stated:
"YOur regular Army units are
maintained in peace at reduced
strength. To avoid destroying
their effectiveness by aSsimila-
ton of unframed men on m0bI-
izati0n, we should provide the
trained reserve.
"The reserve principle Is
sound and is in effect in pfac-
ticalIy all other important cOun-
tries Of the world"
Substantial progress toward
motoriation and mechanizat1on
programs, putting the Army on
wheels" was detailed.
Available funds during 1887 will
provide guns, directors, trucks,
high speed range finders, tanks
and reconnaissance cars for train
ing the National Guard.
Gas Masks Needed
The chemical warfare service
acquired 10000 gas masks, "but a
serious shortage of this equipment
remains"
Aircraft procurement funds
appropriated for 1936-37 will per-
init purchase of approximately rs
per cent of the planes authorized
by law.
OF the five-year rehabilitation
plan, Craig said:
"1t is of the highest impOr.
tance that it be carried to COM
pletiOn. 1t is a program Of de-
fenSe-intended sosely to ensure
our national safety.
"Our military establishment
is unsuitable for aggression.
This fact may not be clearly un-
derstOOd by our people"

Berlin Halls British
Support for Study
OF Hitler Proposal

Copyright. 1896 by the Associated Press>
BERLIN, March 10.-The Third
Reich expressed qualification oflcially
today over Great Britain's attitude
toward the German march across the
Rhine and willingness to consider the
new treaty proposals which accom-
panied the violation Of the Locarno
pact.
The public announcements OF
Britains Prime Minister Stanley
Baldwin and Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden were declared by foreign
office spokesmen to be cause for sat-
isfaction after responsible German
officials first took an opportunity to
study Yesterdays House of Commons
debate.
THE main thing is that the British
cabinet will seriously consider the
German proposals." a high foreign
office official said.
Apparatus Of League.
1--WE have full understanding for the
fact that the British government is
not alone master of its decisions and
that the whole apparatus OF the
League of Nations must be set In mo-
ton before Britain's final answer can
be given.

ton, but it had to go through th'
whole gamut of League instances be-
fore complete action could result.
This necessity to go hand in hanc
with other members of the League alst
explains why the British attitude a
present is one of reserve. The malr
thing is that no doors have beer
closed and that all possibility for ne
gotiations is left open"
This official attitude also was re
fiected in the MONDAY B. T. Am Mittag
a widely circulated daily newspaper
which observed, obviously inspired b!
authoritative sources, that:
Germany has again made an offer
Her hand has been stretched acroS!
the Rhine. England has seized thi'
hand and is trying to serve Europe"
Semi official Germany, rejecting
note of wariness over foreign reaction
to Hitler's bold rearmament of the
Rhineland, showed increasing Interest
in both the League and the Reich's
war-lost colonies.
Nazi Press statements, seemingly
made with the knowledge or the orders
of DR.. Paul Joseph Goebbels' propa-
ganda ministry, left a distinct impress
sion that Germany finds threats oi
comparative isolation uncomfortable.
Officials, nevertheless, explained
again that future developments along
this line depend on what others DO

BY CARLISLE BARGERON.

Although Silas H. Strawn, Chicago
lawyer, has raised plenty of money for
the Republicans in the past and is
even now a member of their Finance
Committee, no Republican Senator is
willing to 60 to the bat for him in
his present issue with the Black Lob
bying Committee.
He has made himself the symbol in
the opposition to the Black commit
tees wholesale seizure of kilograms.
Although some observers had agreed
this was an excellent opportunity for
the Republicans to give weight to their
charge that reign of terror" exists,
cautious Senate Republicans, after in
formally discussing the matter. have
decided it is "hot potato" and they
plan to have nothing to do with it.
Apparently this is the attitude of the
Republican National Committee, which
has remained quite silent on the sub
ject.
The result is that Senator Black,
chairman of the committee, who was
obviously concerned for few days,
was most jubilant yesterday after a
set-to with Senator Steiwer of Ore
gon, who did make so bold as to
question the scope of the subpoenas
