sist some member by little ener- getic work on our part, and by in- quiring into the circumstances of the case. Our legislative comDittec, should be active; they should study every bit of legislation liable to af- feet any member of our body; they should watch and appear at legisla- tive hearings on the subject in ques- ton, and familiarize themselves with all the angles of the case. In plain words, we should let 1t be known from this day on that the fireman of Connecticut is going to be pro- tected by this association composed as 1t is of some thousands of mem bers who are expected and who will. I know, back up every move on the part of their legislative personnel. Naturally, am delighted and pleased In your election of me to the highest office within your gift; 1t is an honor I shall always prize. My aim is to do right by all; desire to do right: ! want to work for each and everyone of you, no particular group or no clique. A good president must be for all: he cannot go right, If he caters to one and ignores the other. He should be fair and just ip all his dealings and acts; and that is just what I want to be. There is no reason why we should have one set of delegates working contrary to the others; we should be big enough to be for the betterment of the association as body in Itself and for the rank and file of the membership.
 My friends, do not wish to say more; just bear in mind that we are all firemen, working for one cause In mind, the betterment of the fire men, be he volunteer or a member of the paid department. We are all one and we all should never forget that. My heart is with the volun- teer, although l happen to be of the paid department. l know his his- tory: know what he has done in the past, and know what he is do- ing today.
 In closing I ask your aid; I seek your guidance; I desire your fricnd- ship: need your help; wish to do right and to be just to all. Help me in the matters to come before this body; help the other officers. In this way we shall go places; we shall be harmonious; and above all let harmony be the watchworc of our organization.

WAGE-HOUR BILL.
COMPROMISE UP.
TO LABOR CHIEFS.
House Leaders to Take
Proposal to Green

0N.S0 Fresh appeal to the
American Federation of Labor to
accept a compromise wage-hourS
bill was planned today by House
leaders in the fight for enactment
of legislation in the present ses-
sion.
The first step in a compromise
movement was taken by the House
labor subcommittee drafting a new
bill, when it agreed to accept the
principle of a Accent minimum
wage and a 40-hour work week.
The proposal of the subcommit-
tee, headed by Representative
Ramspeck CD Of Georgia, is to
adopt lower standards but to pro
vide that they be raised over a
period of probably five years.
"Under this plan" explained
RamSpeck, "the minimum wage
might be 20 or 30 cents an hour
in the beginning, with the ulti.
mate goal fixed at 40 cents an
hour"
While President william Green,
of the American Federation Of
Labor, has indicated the fedora
ton is willing to modify its de-
mand for an immediate Accent
and 40-hour bill, he thus far has
refused to accept a bill granting
discretionary authority to a Fed
eral board.
Ramspeck planned to confer
with Green over the weekend. A
final decision then will be made
on Monday by the subcommittee
on the question of administration.
While the AFL has insisted upon
definite standards fixed by Con-
gress, with enforcement lodged in
the Department of Justice, the Ad.
miniStration has sought a Federal
board with power to adjust wages
and hours.

ACTION PRESSED
ON REvAM!PING.
U. S. AGENCIES.
FiIibuster Threatened
In Senate Dispute

UN.S.) Claiming a majority,
Senate Administration leaders to-
day called for a showdown vote
on an opposition amendment to
the Government reorganization
bill which would give Congress
power to veto revision and abo-
Gtion Of Federal agencies.
Sponsored by Senator Wheeler
Cd of Montana. the amendment
Is considered one Of the two re-
naming barriers to passage of the
bill in substantially its present
form. It would give Congress
power by joint resolution to reject
the proposals of President RooSe-
velt within 10 days after they are
made. ,.
As the Administration forces
pressed for an early vote on the
issue, opposition leaders hurled
charges that Senators in their
ranks are being bought off by "aS-
surances" from the White House
and other sources of the Admins
tration.
"FAVORS" PROMISED
Wheeler declared the assur-
anceS range all the way from po-
litical favors to promises that
their pet" agencies will not be
disturbed by the Government re
organization program,
Another opposition lea er
charged the Administration is
"high pressuring" Senators to
vote against the amendment. He
said privately that Federal en-
ployes outside of washington
have caused an avalanche" Of
telegrams to be sent to the offices
of wavering Senator'S, urging
them to stand by the Admins
tration.
1--WE can't win against that
kind of high pressure" the Sen
ator said. I'VE have nothing to
trade but the interest Of the
people of the nation"
Successfully blocking an at
tempt by Majority Leader Bark
ley, of Kentucky, to bring the
issue to a vote by 2 o'clock TO-
day, opposition leaders still held
hopes of overriding the propon-
ents of the bill. sponsored by Sen
ator Byrnes CD, of South Caro-
lima.
FTLIBUSTER THREAT
They served notice they will en-
ploy filibuster tactics if necessary
to stave off a vote until some OF
their members return to Washing
ton. The vote is expected to be
so close, an opposition leader said,
that "two or three Senators being
present might mean the difference
between victory and defeat"
Based on their successful hur-
die of a previous stumbling block
to the bill, Administration leaders
claimed they will be able to ledge
out" the Wheeler amendment.
They also claimed they will defeat
any amendments to that part of
the bill which aboliShes the offices
of comptroller general and sets
up an auditor general with only
post-audit control over Federal ex-
penditureS,

WISE CASE WAITS CHILD ACCUSES
LEGALITY TEST DADDY At TRIAL

Eligibility of Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel G. Reber Littlehales
to sit as chairman of the police
trial board in the case of Precinct
Detective Luther Wise. was con
tested today as proceedings got
under way at No. 4 Police Station.
Wise, fighting to gain reinstate-
ment, is accused of extorting $40
from a tavern operator in the
140O block Irving St. N. W., nearly
two years ago. He was acquitted
at a trial in U. S. District Court.
Charles E. Ford, counsel for
the suspended policeman, made
the attack on LittlehaleS in a let
ter to the board. Ford was alb
sent from the city this morning
and the trial was postponed until
this afternoon.
LittlehaleS' eligibility was at
tackled on the ground that, as a
member of the Corporation Coun-
sells staff, he is unable to render
an impartial verdict.
Other members of the Trial
Board are Major James r. LuSby,
disbursing officers of the District
government, and Police Capt.
Oscar j. Lctterman.

18th Litter Bears
Out Sex Discovery

The Applied Research Laboratories at Dayton, N. j.,
where -predetermnaOn tests being made for The
New York Daily News, reported yesterday that rat No.
1882 which had been douched with per cent alkaline
solution had given birth litter of males three
females
This same rat, under acid douching produced litter
of six females, one male, on September g.
Previously other subjected to both treatments
responded with two controlled ltters each. In 10 other
ters desired predominance in of the offspring
resulted.
With the latest test, Is ters have borne out
the acdakalne theory to the satisfaction of the abora
tory workers.
The law of chance in these Is matngs would declare
that the odds against producing offspring of the de-
sired in all uncontrolled mangs would be about 3267
to l. Since the experiments have produced predomi
nance of the desired in each of the Is ters it is
evident that chance be ruled in accounting for
the sex ratio achieved
