cleaning and dyeing establish
ments will ballot secretly in

whether or not the workers are
satisfied to allow Local No. 1877.
Laundry Workers, Cleaners and
Overs Union, to bargain col
lectively with employers in their
name.
The decision to hold the consent

when the strike-bound' industry re-
sumed full-time operations after a
month of Intellectual wageand-
hours conferences had failed to
bring forth a schedule approved
by both sides.
AS announced today by the labor
board, the cleaners affected by the
strike include Aristo, Economy,
Federal, Globe, Master, Needles,
Premier, Regal, Rubenstein, Vani'
ty, and Vogue. Employees Of these

Remember back 30 years ago
when it took Admiral Peary a
whole year to mush up to the
North Pole and then another
year to get back to his lecture
routes? Well, these Russian
lads certainly make the world
look about the size of picked
lime.
Imagine so straight hours in
the air-and when the boys
stepped out Of the plane, they
didn't even ask for a bucket Of
vodka!
All 1 can say is it looks IKE
a busy summer for aviation.
And If the SOviets keep sending
more planes over here, they'll
need red and green traffic
lights on the North Pole.

D. E. AIR ROUTE
CURTAILMENT
PREDICTED
Rickenbacker Asserts
Hourly Service Will
Halt With Shift

Abandonment of hourly air
service between washington and
New York would follow inaugura-
ton of Camp Springs, Md, as
the official airport for Washing
ton, it was predicted by Col.
Eddie Rickenbacker, war ace and
now general manager of Eastern
Air Lines.
ColoneI Rickenhacker, in Wash
ington to request enlargement OF
the Washington Airport in prefer
ence to the construction Of the
proposed Federal airport at Camp
Springs, said that too much time
would be consumed in travelling TO
and from the airport.
At least 20 minutes, it has been
estimated, would be required to
travel on the road. This, plus the
As minutes necessary for travel
from the airport at Newark into
New York city, would make it i'm
practical, he said, to continue the
hourly service.
The most important develop
ment in the airport crisis came
yesterday when the War Depart
ment agreed to the use of Boiling
Field by commercial planes when
bad weather conditions prevented
the use of the washington Air
port.
This step was taken as an
emergency measure pending de-
cisicn on the Washington Airport
commissions selection Of Camp
Springs as a site for the new air
port. and in the face Of the
ult;matum of the Air Line Pilots
Association that the Washington
Airport will not be used after 60
days.

BATTLE
ON ABATT0|R

Proposed erection by the Adolf
Gobel Company Of an abattojr in
the northeast section Of the city
will be discussed by a committee
in charge of Howard A. Gray. di-
rector of housing for the Public
Works Administration, early next
week, according to Secretary ri
the Interior Harold Ickes.
Continuation of the fight against
construction of the abattoir was
forecast by members of the COM
mittee.
Tabling of the bill to prohibit
nuisance industries within the Dis
trict earlier in the week threw the
slaughterhouse question directly
into the laps of meat firm officials,
who indicated they would go ahead
with their plans to build one.
At the House hearing which
voted to kill the measure until the
next session, counsel for the Gobel
company charged that "damnable
publicity" attendant on the firms
fight for permission to erect an
abattoir on property purchased
for the purpose had turned public
opinion against the project. Attor.
ney T. T. Ansberry said he would
accept 100000 reparation from
the District in view of the loss OF
revenue incurred by the Gobel
Company in it's battle to defeat
the nuisance" measure.
Col. Daniel I. Sultan, District
engineering commissioner, was
quoted as saying today that there
was nothing further the District
could do to prevent erection OF
the abattoir.

P A Y
GRANTED TO
SECRETARIES
Legislative Employees
Now on Same Basis
As Other us. Aides

Congressional secretaries who
manage to stay on the pay roll for
80 years and reach the age Of 70
still at the Capitol may now retire
on a fixed pension like other Fed
eral employes-provided they have
permitted regular monthly deduc'
lions for the retirement fund dur.
ing the period of their employ
ment.
JanitorS, watchmen, engineers,
doorkeepers, clerks and ordinary
laborers who meet the same condi-
lions may similarly retire, just as
if they had spent their lifetimes
working for one Of the uptown
Government departments.
Summarizes Law
That, legislative experts said to.
day, about sizes up the new retire
ment law for the Governments
legislative employees, which in ef-
feet puts them on the same basis
as other Federal workers in the
matter of retirement, following
President Roosevelt's action in at
taching his signature to it earlier
in the week.
Congressional secretaries put it
over, it developed today. The move
ment for enactment Of the legisla-
ton had it's birth among sena-
torial secretaries several years ago.
They worked for it, lobbied for it,
and finally got it through.
Ironically, some of those who
worked hardest for it are "out in
the cold" so far as its benefits are
concerned, having lost their posi-
lions on the Hill since the idea
was first launched.
HighIights of Act
HighlightS Of the new law, as
Sketched in by the legislators and
drafting experts who handled it,
include these:
One thousand five hundred dol
lars is the maximum annual re
tirement pay which may be given
any employee, no matter how high
his salary. It is paid at the rate
Of $125 a month when he reaches
10 years of age, and has 80 years
service behind him.
In no case may the retirement
pay exceed three-fourthS Of his
average salary.
Salary deductions, at the rate of
31a per cent, which go into the
retirement fund, draw interest at
the rate of 4 per cent, com
pounded annually.
No Lump Sum
There are no lump7Sum pay
mentS under the law, except as
employees separated from the pay
roll before they reach 10 or &C.
cumulate 80 years service will re-
ceive the amount of their salary
deductions for the retirement
fund, plus interest accumulations.
Five years service in the Sen
ate and Is years in the House
must be accumulated before an
employee becomes eligible for par

7 FACE PROBE
IN R0BBER|ES

Three men and two women,
wanted by police for questioning
in connection with a number OF
recent safe crackings, will be re-
turned here today.
The five persons were arrested
in North Beach, Md, last night
and are being held by Maryland
police until the arrival of Wash
ington authorities.
Meanwhile two other men were
held for investigation here, while
Baltimore police were asked to
search for a third who escaped
following a wild chase early yes
terday.
Lumber Yard Robbery
The three men are believed to
be those who held up the watch
man at the Langdon Mill and
Lumber Company, 2150 Bryant st.
N. E., tied him up, then battered
the combination off the safe, but
were unable to open the door.
They then stole a number of
typewriters and adding machines,
loaded them on a company truck
and escaped. A short time later
the trio robbed a liquor store at
1913 Seventh st. N. w., taking sew,
eral cases of whiskey.
Flee Police Shots
When a police car attempted
to halt them, they attempted to
wreck the scout car by Sideswipine
it, and escaped under a hail OF
bullets fired by the officers.
Later the three were seen walk
ing in the woods near the District
line. TWO of the men were cap
tured and the third escaped. Pc
lice found the stolen truck and
the liquor in the woods, but the
other articles have not yet been
located.

VOTE MONDAY
ON MEASURE
IS EXPECTED
Rep. PaImisano Plans
To Bring 1t Up Under
Rules Suspension

An attempt to obtain House APP
proval of the bill to permit the
District government to borrow
from the Federal Government dur.
ing the current fiscal year is ex-
pected to be made Monday.
According to House leadership
plans, Monday will be given over
to consideration of bills under suS-
pension of the rules. Under this
procedure, the Speaker Of the
House recognizes committee chair
men to bring up important legisla-
ton from their respective COM
mittees.
Representative Vincent L. Palmi.
sano CD Of Maryland, chairman
of the House District Committee,
probably will be recognized by the
Speaker to call up the District
borrowing bill.
It Is believed that the measure
will cause little controversy in view
of the fact that it will carry a
provision permitting the Secretary
of the Treasury to charge the Dis
trict up to 3 per cent interest on
the money the municipality may
borrow.
This loan Is necessary because
of delay in enactment Of the Dis
trict tax legislation.
Meanwhile, Senator william H.
King Cd of Utah, chairman Of
the Senate District Committee, in
tends to await the developments IN
the court fight in the Senate to
ascertain whether an opportunity
will be given him to call up the tax
bill, or, in case that cannot be
done, to call UP the District loan
bill.
