TELLS OF FIGHT
WITH ROBBER

Jacob Taitelbaum today told in
Police Court how he subdued a
holdup man last week with a meat
cleaver.
Mr.. Taitelbaum, who seemed to
regard his exploit as all in the
days work, said he was carving
a few hamburger cuts from a side
of beef when the man entered his
store at 1914 First st. N. W. He
first disregarded the mans gestur-
ing, believing all he wanted was a
sandwich, he testified.
Realizing the man wanted to
hold him UP, Mr.. Taitelbaum said
he leaped toward him waving the
leaver. This, he said, completely
cowed the bandit, who soon was
on the floor.
Pleading not guilty, the man
Taitelbaum identified as the
would-be robber, was held by Judge
Hobart Newman in $4,000 bond
for Grand Jury action. He was
booked as Louis H .Cromer, 81,
of HarriSonburg, Va.

States SESSION
ON $1,000 WAGE
in FORTNIGHT
Georgian Also FavorS
New Appeal System
BY JULIA A. BONWIT

Hope for the higher salary for
Government workers in the lowest
income brackets was held out to-
day by Representative Robert
Ramspeck Cd, of Georgia, with
the announcement that he will
soon begin hearings on the $1,000
minimum wage bill.
Mr.. Ramspeck, who is chairman
of the House Civil Service Com
mittee, said committee hearings
will begin within the next two
weeks.
U. S. PAY is UP
Minimum wages for Govern
ment employees is tied up with the
Administration program for mini
mum wage and hour legislation
for workers all over the country,
and Congress is faced with virtu-
ally the same kind of opposition
on one as on the other.
The measure on which the Civil
Service Committee will conduct
hearings was introduced by Rep
resentative Ramspeck at the re.
quest of the Civil Service Commits
sion.
Legislation to increase the Gov
ernment wage minimum has been
before Congress for long time,
but despite active support on both
sides of the Capitol and from Fed
eral workers unions, it has been
much more difficult to enact the
increase legislation than 1t was
in the Hoover regime, to cut the
wages.
APPEAL HEARINGS
Mr.. Ramspeck also announced
that he would hold hearings in
the near future on the many bills
that have been introduced to pro.
vide a system of appeal for Fed
eral employees.
Government workers have been
agitating for years to establish a
court of some kind to appeal from
the personnel decisions of Fed.
eral officials, but this, too, has
failed of passage.
In addition, Mr.. Ramspeck
hopes to hear testimony of legisla.
tion amending retirement provi-
sions of the civil service laws.

BALL CRITICISM

Widespread inference that tn
recent Velvet Ball at the May
flower Hotel did not yield a profi
for the school lunch program O.
the Citizens Permanent Commit
tee, are more perilouS to the pro
ject than a deficit, Mrs. Johr
Boyle, jr., declared today. ShC
said:
I'm the face of such criticism
it would be easy to abandon the
work we are doing-and to for
get the hungry little people in
the Districts classrooms. But,
it should be emphasized that
the committee has furnished
lunches to 5000 children every
day for the past three months.
I'VE have conducted several
benefits, some of which have
cleared a substantial sum for
the program. The committee it.
self has not yet been able to
determine how much the velvet
Ball will produce, since money
for both advertising and tickets
is still being received.
"The important thing to re-
member is that we will not be
turned aside from the project
by persons who for personal
gain would have jeopardized the
health of our children.
There is still the necessity,
not created by the Velvet Ball
affair, but by the civic situation,
to raise $4,000 to care for the
February work of the committee.
We hope Washingtonians will
continue the support as we are
continuing the task"
