M'CARRAN SEEKS
NEW WHITE HOUSE
TALK ON PAY BILL
Senator's Hopes for In
crease Raised by Plans
for Wide Survey.
RETAINS ORIGINAL IDEA
OF HOLDING HEARINGS
Nevadan May Make Statement
Tomorrow on Changes Pro.
posed in Draft.
BY ] "A. O'LEARY.

Indicating desire to cooperate
with the administration in the survey
of Government personnel problems
Senator McCarran, Democrat, Of Ne
vada, author Of the pending Federal
pay-increase bill, hopes to hold, an
other conference with President
Roosevelt tomorrow or Tuesday.
Definite word that the executive arm
OF the Government is having a study
made of classification, compensa ton
and retirement conditions in the Fed
eral service was contained in Budget
Director Bells letter to the Senate
Civil Service Committee Friday.
The letter stated the survey was
being made with view to submitting
recommendations during this session
and suggested that action on the
McCarran pay bill and other measures
OF like import be deferred until the
President makes q report.
McCarran ENCOURAGED.
Senator McCarran does not look
upon the Budget Bureau letter as q
setback to his BILL On the contrary
1t Is understood he feels encouraged
by the knowledge that an independent
study Is being made not only Of the
pay question, but of the classification
and retirement laws.
At the same time he does not be-
lieve any harm would result from 60
ing ahead with hearings on his bill
which, in 1t spresent form. seeks pri-
marily to improve the lowest salary
brackets by making $500 the mini
mum wage for full-time employment
It also would increase the other
brackets that do not exceed $500 a
year and improve the method OF
making promotions.
Silent on Proposed Change.
The Nevadan was not ready yes
terday to elaborate on the indications
he gave Friday night of an intention
to make some changes in his bill. but
said he would have q definite state
ment to make some time tomorrow
He gave no inkling of what the state
ment will contain, but it probably
will outline his plans for the immedi-
ate future in connection with Gov
ernment personnel legislation.
In addition to the McCarran bill
the Civil Service Committee has other
measures pending to extend the Civil
Service to agencies not now covered
and to apply Civil Service to first
second and third class postmasters,
but departmental reports on these
measures have not yet been received

TRAFFIC BYPASS
DRAWS SUPPORT
Sultan Favors Development
to Relieve Motor Pressure
in Georgetown.

Plans for development Of traffc
bypass for Georgetown yesterday won
the support of Engineer Commissioner
Dan I. Sultan, but he declared he
was convinced the project could not
be started in the next fiscal year be-
cause of shortage of District funds
for capital improvements.
He predicted the Districts financial
straits probably also would preclude
early adoption Of other items in the
long list Of trafhc, highway and
bridge improvement programs sug-
gestsd last year by q subcommittee Of
the House District Committee.
Estimates Of the cost Of the whole
suggested program, drawn recently by
Opt. H. c. Whitehurst, director OF
highways, showed the total would be
in excess Of $4,000, 900. Some of the
programs would be performed over q
period Of years. II adopted. The Com
missioners expect soon to report esti-
mates for the various plans to Chair
man Mary T. Norton Of the House
District Committee.
Circle Underpsss Included.
Revamping of Scott and Thomas
Circles, construction of q street car
underpass for Dupont Circle and a
long list Of street widening projects
were included In the suggested pro-
grams.
The Public Utilities Commission yes
terday was asked to make a study Of
the Dupont Circle subway plan, the
cost Of which has been estimated at
&2e5 geo. One question to be studied
Is . division of the cost between the
District and the Capital Transit Co.
District oficias anticipate there
will be protests against the plans for
the three circles from property own
ers. or from civic groups. The Thom-
AZ Circle plan proposes laying street
car tracks through what Is now the
circular park In the circle. The pur-
pose is to segregate vehicular and
street car trafnc there.
To Relieve M Street.
There are two plans for the pro-
posed Georgetown bypass. which is
intended to reduce greatly the eonges-
ton on M street. One Is for con-
ssruction of traffic artery over the
old Chesapeake & Ohio Canal and the
other for construction Of q high level
artery over K street, by erection Of q
trafdc viaduct. Col. Sultan favors
this plan over that for the canal be-
cause Of possible delays and diniculties
in obtaining ownership OF the prop
erty needed for the canal route. The
cost Of the canal plan is estimated at
$685. but this does not include the
cost Of acquisition of the right of way.
The cost Of. the K street viaduct is
estimated at 81 ,430 900.
