CLERKS COST.
HELD LOWEST
BUDGET ITEM
White House-Congress
Feud Looms Over
Relief Figure
BY EARL GOODWIN

No general cut in salaries or
personnel is contemplated by the
Administration as part Of the
Presidents budget balancing oper-
ations.
This was learned today from a
high official source.
The Presidents economies do
not contemplate a wholesale slash
in personnel for several reasons.
Most important reason in the eyes
of officials is the fact that the
work demanded by Congressional
authorizations does not permit Of
heavy personnel cuts; in fact very
few cabinet officers are said to be
contemplating any very severe
reductions anywhere.
Payroll Least Item
Another reason is that the
lightest portion of the Govern
ments expense burden is the
salary list. The whole Govern.
ment set up, including the legiS-
lative, judicial and executive
branches of Government, costs
only 10 per cent of the seven and
a fraction billions of dollars in the
Presidents budget.
Most likely points for the ak to
fall are in some of the emergency
bureaus where the work is nearing
an end.
Reductions may be looked for in
Federal Housing and Resettlemeat
and some of the Agricultural
agencies.
The President today is firm in
his budget position, ready to meet
several Congressional moves to
deprive him of several hundred
million dollars by bloc efforts. One
bloc of tremendous influence is
the group of Congressman repre-
Senting industrial States and cities
whose mayors numbering a hun
dred, are clamoring for double the
amount of relief the President
asks for.
New York Pressure
Heaviest influence in this quar-
ter is coming from the Presidents
own State where Mayor LaGuar-
dia has been responsible for con-
siderable propaganda for a plan
whereby the Federal Government
would extend rather than reduce
relief.
Governor lehman of New York
State is typical of the governors
who believe the States and cities
have reached the end Of their
ability to administer their own
relief and want the Government
to take over most of the job.
Another congressional move, the
Administration has heard, would
be to chop down relief to about
a billion and spend the other half
billion on the various congress.
Sional spending programs which
carry political prestige. They are
saying ION the Hill that there
is no more politics in relief.
CCC Considered
The things which now count In.
clude larger number of CCC
camps than the President believes
is necessary. He thinks, from fig.
ureS he has from the field, that
100000 boys in CCC camps are all
that can be recruited. Congress.
Sional blocs look on CCC camps as
splendid business for every con.
greSsional district. Hence Congress
may try to increase the camps.
Congressional leaders who con.
ferred on relief at the White House
Monday all wanted to cut the fig.
ure to billion, with the exception
of Speaker Bankhead, who favored
10000, 100000. The President,
though, stuck firm at a billion and
half, feeling that this would
cover the pressing relief needs and
keep down congressional spending
for new projects.

Felinity
BY Eleanor Hall

Her eyes are phosphorescent
In her little poker face,
Her eyes betray emotion
BY their lively pointed grace.
Beneath the sculptured outlines
Carved in each paws silken
furs
She holds withdrawn, so lightly,
Five tiny scimitars.
When fasting has been broken
And her toilette made with care
She rises, yawns and stretches
With 80 dangerous an cir.
Then draws her tail about her
AS lady furls her fan,
And sits serenely gazing
Az only Buddha can.

would refuse to sanction the bout, but

Parkinson, at whose request the
recent investigation into alleged un-
orthodox proceedings in the boxing
game here was conducted, feels Gev-
tnson does not warrant a crack at
Ingram, ranged eighth by the Ma
tonal Boxing Association, on his
record to date.
The boxing fraternity, on the other
hand, feels otherwise Ingram has
been defeated by joey Temes, who, in
turn, was trounced by Gevinson. Gev-
1nson, southpaW. has a chilling
punch In both hands, while Ingram is
strictly a boxer and is rated Louis
superior at inflghting. From the
standpoint Of matchmaking, it rates
highly and is topped off by the fact
both boys have large local followings.

point, will gain hundreds Of dollars

TINE District Boxing Commission,
composed Of three highly in
telligent, honest and sports
4 manlike gentlemen, has en-
tered the rather risky business Of
matchmaking, which Is no field for
intelligent, honest and sportsmanlike
gentlemen. And they appear rather
foolish in their new role.
First, we have an investigation,
which proved nothing and hardly
could hope to, ordered by that body.
Now after all these months they de-
eide a local natural is not a local
natural. Despite their honesty, the
respective members OF the commission
are neophytes IN the ring game and
recent events illustrate that clearly.
Nobody asked the commission
to express its preference, but It
recommended Lou Gevinson and
Ray Ingram for a match any
way.
Now the commission snubs its own
suggestion. The only embryonic match
this year which caused that body to
issue a statement to all local papers
requesting such fight has been black
balled. Its love, 1t seems, has turned
to ashes.
