COPELAND JOINS
MOVE FOR HIGHER
FEDERAL SALARIES.
New York Senator Points
to Rising Cost of Living
as Justification.
M'CARRAN TO BEGIN
SERIES OF PARLEYS
Government Workers to Be Given
Hearing Preliminary to
Drafting Bill.
By ]. A, O'LEARY.

The movement for a pay increase
for Government positions in the lower
salary schedules won the support today
of Senator Copeland, Democrat Of New
York.
At the same time. Senator McCar-
ran. Democrat Of Nevada, leading
proponent of the proposal, announced
he would begin tomorrow a series OF
conferences with spokesmen for vari-
Gus organizations representing Govern.
ment workers, preliminary to drafting
a bill on the subject. The Nevadan
said he expects 10 confer also with
officials of the Department Of Labor.
II am for it," said Senator Copeland,
commenting on the fact that number
Of other Senators have urged upward
revision Of salaries in the lower
brackets.
Living Costs Increase.
The New Yorker declared there Is
noticeable upward trend in living costs.
which should be taken into considera-
ton.
Il realize the argument will be made
by some that there are always others
willing to take places in the Govern
ment service but that does net
answer the question" he continued
II believe 1t is essential that the Gov
ernment have a contented personnel,
receiving adequate compensation. es-
pecially in the lower salary grades"
Senator Copeland also made known
he would favor proposed legislation to
extend the merit system more gen.
orally throughout the Government
service, q question that will come
before the Civil Service Committee as
soon as organization of committees is
completed and the session settles
down to work.
Retirement Benefits.
He. likewise, agreed early considera-
ton should be given to the question Of
retirement benefits for the large group
of non-civil service workers who are
not covered at present either by the
social security law, or the civil service
retirement act.
In connection with the pay question,
Senator Logan, Democrat of Kentucky,
has suggested that the salary sched-
ules as they now exist In the classical
ton act would be satisfactory, If en-
ployes could obtain the promotions
contemplated by the classification law,
on the basis of efficiency ratings. The
difficulty, however, has been that unless
sufficient funds are available in q de-
partment's annual appropriation, the
promotions cannot be paid, and IN
recent years the holding down of
appropriations has affected the pro-
motion program.

course, express her thanks at
the shower when she opens the

2. You may use your regular
letter-paper for these notes. Or,
if you are planning to buy
special note.paper, I suggest
that you supply yourself with
seminole paper, the half.size,
double,Sheeted paper that is so
especially convenient for using
for just this kind of notes. This
is better than using cards, large

LOVelOrn
By Beatrice Fairfax
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I graduated from high school
last June, and am 18 years of
age. I met a man with whom
I've fallen deeply in love, but
he is married. We've been see.
ing each other twice week and
sometimes oftener. told him
the other day that we'd have
to stop going together, because
people were going to talk if they
found it out. It has been three
days now since I saw him, and
can hardly get along without
him.
He and his wife don't get
along at all, but as they have a
little girl, he doesn't want to
leave her. Please help me, Miss
Fairfax, and tell me a way to
make him leave her, or help me
forget. L. M. B.
The only sensible thing to do,
when you find yourself in love
with a married man is to quit.
That may sound unsympathetic,
but it will save trouble in the
end. You say this one doesn't
intend to leave his wife on
account of the child. Surely
you do not want to be the cause
of a little girl being deprived Of
her home and her fathers care.
The world is full of fine,
attractive young men who are
as lonely as you are. Cut out
married men, keep your eyes
open and you'll find a pal. Half
the time, these men who tell
you they're unhappy at home
don't mean it at all.
