PAY MEASURE
TO BE REVISED
BYM'CARRAN
Redraft or New Bill
To Press Raises
For US. Workers

Immediate hearings on his Fed
eral pay increase bill with view
to rewriting it to meet all criticism
will be asked today of the Senate
Civil Service Committee, by Sen
ator Pat McCarran (D0, of Ne
vada.
Senator McCarran announced
his intention of redrafting the bill
within a few days either during
public hearings on the question of
pay raises for Government en-
ployes or, in event this is not prac-
tical, to offer a new bill as a sub
stitute.
The Nevadan's decision came
after he was apprised of the report
on his bill sent to the Civil Service
Committee by the budget bureau.
In the letter it was revealed that a
study was being made of the whole
classification subject to be used as
the basis of proposal by President
Roosevelt for legislation to meet
present personnel problems.
Asked if he did not think the
letter would hold up action on
his bill, Senator McCarran said:
"NO, don't. 1 think the
committee should hold hearings
Immediately, now that there is
an indication that the Admin
iStratiOn is going to propose
some legislation. II would de-
lay consideration of this legiS-
latiOn if the committee would
wait to hold the hearings when
the legislation comes up.
Il am going to push my bill
right along. I'm in a position
to proceed at once with very
valuable suggestions from inter
ested Government departments.
From this information 1 intend
to come before the committee
with a substitute bill or to in
trOduce it on the floor of the
Senate.
I'm changing my bill, it is
my intention to meet all the
criticism that has arisen and
to see that all the people who
think they are not included in
the bill are taken care of in
the new draft"

Bloom CD, of New York, believes
the vicinity of his home at 1880
Columbia Rd. N. W., is "noisier
than Broadway" his landlord yes
terday petitioned the District zon-
ing Commission for a permit to
erect an apartment house on the
site.
Bloom. who testified before the
zoning body. was asked why an
apartment should be constructed
there if he could not sleep.
The Congressman retorted the
new structure could be made
soundproof.
Application for the permit,
brought by Charles A. Douglas,
local attorney and owner of the
premises, was rejected, however.
The action was believed to have
been based on the fact that Doug
las expressed a desire to place
stores on the ground floor of the
apartment. This was strongly pro-
tested by many residents in the
area, who declared sufficient COM
mercial establishments are now
located there.

OF SLUMS
Elimination of Traffic
Congestion Also Aim
of Resource Unit

The National Resources Com
mittee late yesterday recommended
to President Roosevelt an 11-point
program for the gradual elimina-
ton of traffic congestion and Slum
conditions in the District Of Co.
lumbia and suggested long term
programs based on surveys of ma
tionaI resources for cooperative
planning" projects in Maryland
and Virginia.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, working
with the National Resources Com
mittee, has recommended thor
oughfare system for the District
with standard street and sidewalk
widths; a complete plan for city
parks, Fairgrounds and neighbor-
hood recreation centers; legisla-
ton and appropriations for park
land acquisition; improvement of
existing street car lines and addi-
tional railroad terminals and
school and municipal center pro-
grams.
Street Changes Urged
The 11-point program also pro-
vides for a planned street layout
accomplished through $50 street
changes and legislation to protect
Government projects from injury
through harmful real estate de-
velopments. Legislation and re-
adjustment of property acqui6i-
ton laws where land is acquired
by condemnation and studies of
traffic and slum conditions we're
listed as cardinal points in the
committees report to the Presi-
dent.
In Maryland. besides a 1O.year
highway construction program.
the committee proposes sweeping
changes in legislation for the con-
servation of oyster and crab areas.
A program of consolidation of
schools and the building of Sec
ondary State highways were high
lights of the Virginia planning re-
port.
Cooperative Planning
At a dinner meeting of the
American Planning and Civic
Commission at the MayfloWer Ho-
tel last night attended by many
members of the National Re
sources Committee and the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, President Roosevelt,
in a written message delivered at
the meeting, expressed the hope
that through a continuing Ma
tional Resources Board a coop
erative planning" program can be
widely developed among all State
governments.

INVITES TRADE
LEADERS TO
HEARING
Wants Them Tuesday
To Give Opinions Of
Fiscal Affairs

Launching a new approach to
determining what the people Of
the District want in the way Of
budgetary matters, Representative
Ross Collins Cd, of Mississippi.
chairman of the House District
Appropriations subcommittee, re-
vealed today that group of out
standing local business men will
be invited to appear before his
group Tuesday.
Although at a later date, the
representatives of the business
and civic groups who annually
present testimony before this sub
committee will be given a chance
to appear, the MisSisSippian ex-
planned that the group he expects
to hear Tuesday will be composed
of those who never before have
been called to testify on local
budgetary matters.
The hearing, Mr.. Collins eX-
planned, will be executive.
Fleming Invited
Among those who will be in
vited to appear will be Robert v.
Fleming. president of the Riggs
National Bank and former presi-
dent of the American Bankers
Association; William Montgom-
cry. president of the Acacia Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company,
and DR.. Sterling Ruffin, former
president of the District Medical
Society. The last-named got into
the limelight last year when he
had run-in with the then chair
man of the subcommittee former
Representative Tom Blanton.
1t is understood that Mr.. Collins
is arranging this session because
he has heard that some Of the
city's leading business men who
are not active in local civic or
CARNATIONS, have privately COM
planned about certain conditions in
the city. and have said that when
they seek remedial steps by heads
of the local government, are
showed around from office to
office.
The subcommittee chairman en-
phasized that the men he is invit-
ing to testify are not necessarily
those who have made such COM
plants. The group to be called, he
explained, has been picked more or
less at random.
For Further Insight
Mr.. Collins feels that by this
move he will give the subcommit-
tee members opportunity to fan1il-
iarize themselves in detail with
conditions in the city and the
views the various classes of citi-
zens hold toward local problems
and how they should be met.
Today the subcommittee will
continue to hear heads of the va
rious municipal government
agencies justify the budget recon-
mendations for the items affecting
them, and on Monday the school
officials will be called to testify.
Mr.. Collins said today that he is
hopeful the subcommittee will
complete the hearings by the end
of next week, and that the bill may
be placed before the House within
probably two weeks.
