Rail Labor Executive
Hits l.. c. 6. Appointment

By the Associated Press.
George M. Harrison, chairman of
the Railway Labor Executives As
sociation, has protested to President
Roosevelt against the latter's fail
ure to appoint representative of
lsbor to succeed Frank McManamy
on the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Mr.. Harrison's telegram to the
President, sent after the President
nominated ]. Haden Alldredge of
the Tennessee Valley Authority to
succeed Mr.. McManamy, was made
public last night after an all-day
session of the Rail Labor Associa-
ton.
Although not criticizing Mr.. ALL
dredge, who is an advocate of more
favorable freight rates for the South
and West, the telegram said rail
labor had believed the President
would give 1t an opportunity to
make recommendations when Mr..
McManamy's successor was under
consideration.

political pulse expect to meet before
the end Of the week for . final dis
cussion Of the questions on which
they plan to base their inquiry.
That the subcommittee findings
might prove Of more immediate
value than indicating the Congress-
mems course for 1910 was suggested
by Mr.. Hare.
"A committee of this kind" he
said, might well prove of service In
an advisory way to the Democratic
leadership In the House"
Representative Hare was the
author of the motion resulting in
the subcommittee's establishment.
The information gathered by the
group is expected to show in con-
siderable detail the issues which
affect every congressional district
and the weight which POLITICAL
minded men might assign to local
and national issues in determining
their course of action.
The White House has shown that
IN its opinion, Democratic reverses
last fall were based for the most
part on local issues, and that, so far
as national matters are concerned. it
feels Congress should still follow
the New Deal way. The informa-
ton to be gathered by the subcom-
mlttee, the discussion at the Con-
gressional Campaign Committee
meeting brought out, might serve to
sohdify House Democrats. The
committee is apprehensive lest the
present split between White House
Democrats and independent Demo-
Gratis might split the party irrepar-
ably for the 1910 campaign.

Rayburn Urges Speed.
Representative Rayburn was argu-
Ing against a Republican proposal
that the purchase of the 5000 new
planes be spread over a three-year
period. He said it might not be
necessary to build the full quota of
planes in the next two years, but
added:
"It might be necessary before the
summer is over that America should
set in motion the forces that will
build the 5000 planes in the next
IL months in order to let the world
know that America in planes, in
ships, in men and in equipment for
those men, is ready to meet world
in arms"
At another point, he declared: "
wherever the frontier of America
may be-and we today are not COM
PEELED to name it believe I speak
the mind Of the inarticulate millions
out there when I say that
wherever that frontier may be, the
people of the land want America to
be prepared to defend the frontiers" !"
Democrats cheered and roared
their approval, and a minute later
voted down the proposed limit on
planes, which represented the only
serious effort to alter the Presidents S
program.
A proposal by Representative Lud-
low, Democrat, of Indiana, to auth
orize Mr.. Roosevelt to suspend any
provisions of the bill which might
be obviated by agreements worked
out in a disarmament conference

ATT. GEN. MURPHY
 MAKES PROPOSAL
Would Lop Off 1000, ,OOO Persons From Public
 Rolls of Nation

Asbury Park, N. J., June 16-OP) Attorney General Frank Murphy proposed last night the lifting of the burden of taxation from "the aver age family Topping of 10OO,- 900 persons and $1,C0O,00 ,0OO year off federal, state, and municipal payrolls.
 Murphy spoke from Washington over a National Broadcasting com pany network to the eastern re- gional conference of the Civil Serv- ice assembly of the United States and Canada, meeting here.
 The civil service was sound ap- proach, he said, but a negative one of ending the depredations of the spoilsmen" and it does not go far enough to assure holding of gov ernmental employees to minimum.
 T am told" Murphy said, that there are approximately 30,000,000 families in the United States and that their average income is about $1,5G0 year. On that basis, the average family's share of the ex- pense of the public payroll is $2O0 a year, or over 13 per cent of it's to- tai income.
 Either family income should be increased or the public payroll should be reduced. The most im- mediately promising step seems to be an operation on the public pay roll"
