MITCHELL SCORES
SENATE NEPOT|SM
Married Persons Clause in
Economy Act Also Enters
House Hearing.

Nepotism on the Government pay
roll and the married persons clause Of
the economy act were twin attractions
today at crowded hearing before the
House Committee on Expenditures in
the Government Departments, Of
which Representative Cochran OF Mis-
souri, Is chairman.
For many years charges OF nepotism
have been hurled in House debate. but
this IS the first hearing ever held on
the subject.
No specific instances OF padding the
pay roll by members OF Congress or
by executive Offices were given. Rep
resentative Mitchell said he was aim
ing at principle and not personali-
ties. He said the practice had grown
up in Government agencies for bureau
chiefs to hold appointive offices for
their I'm instead Of having them filled
through the merit system.
Mitchell expressed the opinion the
Senators are more prone to the prac-
tice than House members.
Chairman Connery Of the House
Committee on Labor said many men,
bers of Congress feel the need for
having a member Of their family in
charge Of their office to prevent polit-
ical "double-crossing." He used his
brother as an illustration, saying. Il
need him, but he does not need me. "
Mr.. Connery called attention to the
devoted service and cooperation for
many years by the wives Of Vice Presi-
dent Garner and former Speaker
Raincy, expressing the opinion that
neither would have been Speaker had
1t not been for the loyalty Of their
wives.
Representative Charles Faddis, Dem
ocrat. Of Pennsylvania objected to
married women being on the Govern
ment pay roll He said he realized
that some Of the men in Government
jobs found their salaries insufficient to
support their families, but he believed
In most Instances their wives sought
jobs in order to get luxuries.

By the Associated Press.
A sudden discovery today that the
administrator neutrality bill carries
no provision prohibiting use of the
American flag by belligerent nations
delayed once more the expected ap-
proval of the measure by the House
Foreign Affairs Committee.
Chairman McReynolds said the pro-
vision was in the neutrality bill he in
troduced last session. but was inad-
yertently omitted from the present bill.
He added the provision also is carried
in other neutrality bills which the
committee has had under considera-
ton.
Il plan to have a hearing on the
proposal on Monday. at which time
the committee will call several naval
officers to testify" said McReynolds.
Whether it ultimately will be added
Is a question for the committee to
decide"
Report Due Next Week.
Asked when the committee would
report the bill, McReynolds said he
was hopeful it would be out the first
Of next week.
I'VE have been expecting to report
1t for the last several days, but each
time something has arisen to delay
final action" McReynolds said. 'Un-
less something unforeseen develops the
committee should report the bill Mon
day or Tuesday"
A report that the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee is 'as far from
agreement as ever" on the neutrality
measure was given reporters by Sena-
tor johnson. Republican, of Cali
fornia, following q session at which
Secretary of State Hull and Assistant
Secretary Moore appeared.
johnson said the committee Monday
probably would call Senators Nye,
Republican, of Indiana. and Clark
Democrat, of Missouri, leaders of the
munitions inquiry.
To Hear Authorities.
Later next week it hopes to hear
Prof Edwin M. Borchard of Yale
an international law authority, and
possibly John Bassett Moore, another
expert on international law. The lat
ter is in i'll health, however, and may
not be able to appear. johnson said
Some members Of the House Commit

Accuses Japan of Military
Operations in Mongolia.
By the Associated Press.

MOSCOW. January 24.-The Rus
sian war commissariat organ. the Red
Star, today accused Japan Of prepar-
ing for military operations against
the Soviet Union through the encir-
clement Of Outer Mongolia.
The newspaper said that the Japa-
nese. by making Inner Mongolia "a
japanese colony" commanded the
principal approaches to Outer Mon
golia.
This movement, said the Red Star,
would put Japanese troops in posi-
ton to attempt cutting of Russia S
Eastern army.
It quoted Prime Minister Gendun
Of Outer Mongolia as reporting to
the Great Khuralu, or Mongolian
Peoples Congress:
THE Japanese have approached
close to our frontiers and are pre-
pairing for war against the Mongolia
peoples republic and the Soviet
Union"
Some parts Of the Trans Siberian
Railway, the all-important connecting
link between Western Russia and the
Far Eastern military centers Of the
Soviet Union, are only 100 miles from

The leaders around here like Gov.
Landop of Kansas, but there is little
or no leadership functioning for him
on the inside. It was all fixed some
months ago for Ted Clark, conf
dental adviser of President Coolidge,
to come into New England and set up
Landon bandwagon for the boys to
climb on. Clark died before he could
do it.
Col. Knox Is also relished here
abouts. He is q New Englander by
birth and experience and probably will
have a fair bulk of the delegates from
this section.
Mr.. Hoover is personally admired by
the party leaders, but generally con-
sidered impossible as a candidate.
While opposition to the NeD
Deal is firm and widespread. it
Just cannot get around to con-
gealing into enthusiasm behind any
one opposition man.
They say that Democratic Boss
Curley was speaking more or less
humorously when he limited himself
as candidate for the Senate next
year against Senator Coolidge. He
probably will wind UP by running for
Governor. instead.
Curley is playing wise game. He
lets his associates talk ardently against
the New Deal, but he personally al
ways speaks well Of President Roose-
velt.
Thus, Mr.. Curley is very likely to
be found on top of the heap. no mat
ter who winds up on the bottom.
Mr.. Coolidge Reticent.
Retired Assistant Treasury Secre-
tary Coolidge Is just as talkative as a
certain former President by the same
name. One Of his Boston banking
associates had dinner with him few
nights before his resignation and
heard nothing about 1t. Not only that,
but Mr.. Coolidge also neglected to
offer any vehement criticism Of the
New Deal.
Those who are closest to him say
the washington stories are correct. It
was not q specific incident which
caused his resignation, but an accum-
ulation of spending policies with which
he could not 60 along.
Incidentally, the resignation ,cas
presented long before it ,Dds an
nounced. Let Mr.. Roosevelt hold
it up and fr the time.

J0BLESS PAY LAW
M0DELSP PREPARED
Social Security Board Will
Distribute Drafts to Has
ten Adoption by States.
BY JOHN C. HENRY.

Hoping to facilitate and to hasten
the adoption of unemployment COM
pensation laws in individual States,
the Social Security Board today pre-
pared to distribute to all States skel-
eton drafts of two model laws.
Major difference in the two Is the
type of fund, one of the bills providing
for individual employer reserves while
the other provides for the Statewide
pooled fund Each of the two models
provides numerous alternatives in
such details as proposed coverage,
amount of benefits. length of waiting
period before receiving benefits,
amount of tax and question of levying
entire tax on employers or partly on
employees.
All Of the suggestions, of course, are
such that legislation fashioned after
them would receive approval of the
board and permit employers making
contributions hereunder to Offset
such contributions up to 80 per cent
Of the Federal pay roll tax.
Models Just Suggestive.
In circulating the models, the board
emphasizes that the drafts are merely
suggestive and do not constitute an
attempt to diftate the type of law
which each State should adopt.
1T is the final responsibility and
the right Of each State to determine
for itself just what type of legislation
1t desires and how it shall be drafted"
spokesman for the board said.
Ten State Legislatures where no
law is now in existence are in session
at present, these being Illinois, Ken
lucky. Minnesota, Mississippi, New
Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont,
Virginia and South Carolina. Several
OF them already are debating legisla-
ton.
Nine States Have Law.
Nine States and the District Of
Columbia already have unempioy-
ment compensation laws. OF these
only Wisconsin and Utah have the
employer reserve system. although
California, New hampshire and Ore
gon authorize employer accounts in
connection with merit rating plan.
The District law follows the pooled
fund idea, with all tax receipts going
into single fund
Wisconsin, New York, Utah and
the District require no employe con-
tribution, the others asking such con-
tributions ranging from 045 of l per
cent up to one-half the contribution
rate of employers.
