Washington Observations
Brundeis, Ardent Zionist, Not Discouraged
Over Current Outlook in Palestine

Ninety-six employees of the United
States Senate have been quietly
seething for the last fortnight, ever
since they were advised they would
receive no pay on or after March
Is unless and until Congress passed
and the President signed House bill
1868, providing funds jointly for
grasshopper control, the clerical pay
IN question and the new Census
Building. These employees are the
fifth clerks in each Senator's Office.
They are not on the regular legis-
lative pay roll. The extra help was
assigned to the Offices in 1895, fol-
lowing the deluge of work that
descended with the New Deal, but
the Upper House never amended its
appropriation to take care of SAL
aries-$1 300 per annum. Each year
the appropriation has been slipped
into deficiency bill. This session,
for want of better selection, it is
sandwiched between rodents and
structures. The bill passed the
House March II and Is now before
the Senate.
Tomorrow night at the Willard
Hotel minority members of Con-
gress will inaugurate q series of
dinners officially known as RE
publicans on the March" original
ly sponsored by Representative Will
liam H. Wheat of Illinois, who is
serving his first term at the Capt.
tol, the purpose of these feasts is
to enable men and women who
have newly come to the front in
the G. o. p. at Washington and
at State capitals to pull together
for victory in 1910. At this weeks
opening dinner the speakers will be
Cows. Raymond E. Baldwin of Con-
necticut and Harlan j. Bushfield
Of South Dakota and Senators Chan
Gurney of South Dakota and Clyde
M. Reed of Kansas. The toast
master will be Representative Ever
EFT Mckinley Dirksen of Illinois,
who got his middle name from the
circumstance of being born In 1896.
