President Requests
Repeal Of Law 10
Confirm VINO Jobs
Asks Congress to Grant
$2,454, 900 to Roise Pay
In Employment Service

President Roosevelt has asked
Congress to repeal an amendment
to a war appropriation bill passed
last session requiring Senate con-
firmation of all War Manpower
Commission appointments for sal
aries of $4.50O or more.
The President also asked a sup
Elemental appropriation of s2,454 900
to enable the Manpower Commits
sion to raise the salary level of
United States Employment Service
workers from State to Federal
Levels.
The Senate voted the confirmation
rider to the second war supple
mental appropriation bill after SEN
ator McKellar, Democrat, of Ten
nessee. the author, and Senator
Willis, Republican. of Indiana ac-
cused VINO Chairman McNutt of
attempting to play politics. with
appointments.
Although Mr.. McNutt told news
papermen that the McKellar rider
was seriously interfering with ap-
pointments, he told the Senate Mil
ltary Affairs Committee, according
to Senator OMahoney, Democrat,
OF Wyoming, that reluctance on the
part OF prospective appointees to
accept low Federal salaries was the
chief hindrance to recruiting his
staff.
The request for funds to increase
salaries of employment Office en-
ployes is the third attempt to get
approval by Congress in the last
eight months.
The appropriations subcommittee
have refused to report favorably on
this item because, they contend, the
liberalization Of the employment
service is only a wartime measure.
When the States take back the en-
ployment service they might find it
difficult to reduce their employees to
State pay levels, 1t was said.
The Manpower Commission has
stated that the failure to increase
the pay Of these employees has re-
suited in 80 per cent turnover
among 10000 personnel. In some

Hearings on Carver
Memorial Measure
Ickes lndorses Purchase
Of Negro Scientists
Missouri Birthplace

The House and Senate Public
Lanos Committees took the first STEP
today to honor the memory of Dr.
George Washington Carver. noted
Negro scientist of Tuskeeee Institute
who died January 6. Meeting in
joint session. they heard the story
OF how he rose from slavery to a
position that drew industrial leaders
to his laboratory for advice.
Considering bill to purchase DR..
Carver's birthplace at Diamond, Mo.
as a national monument. committee
members heard witnesses tell how
he developed more than 300 prod
ucts from the lowly peanut. 160 from
the sweet potato and other useful
commodities from the soybean and
clay.
Secretary OF the Interior Ickes
Endorsed the bill on behalf of his
department. which would establish
the memorial.
DR.. G.. Lake lines. who observed
DR.. Carver's work at Tuskegee for
IS years. gave the committee an in
innate glimpse of him.
Students Try Hoax.
After recalling that DR.. Carver
could classify and name any plant
or shrub shown him, Dr. lines said a
group of students once tried to fool
him by patching together parts of
different insects and asking him to
identify the result
DR.. Carver, the witness said, after
studying 1t for moment, replied:
THE best classification to give it
would be the well-known species
humbug.'
The witness said DR.. Carver made
no charges for the consultations
sought by representatives of indus
try.
IF they wanted to give him some
thing, all right" DR.. lines continued,
but no bills were sent out. Such
money as he received he put in the
bank and there it stayed. Tuskegee
had trouble getting him to cash his
checks. He would put them in a
box in his room"
Senator Truman, Democrat, of
Missouri and Representative Short,

By the Associated Press.

by Ihe Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Retail trade
this week followed steady pattern,
with South, Southwest and Pacific
Coast sections indicating new highs
for the season, but with Nationwide
total sales continuing below last
years record high. Dun e. Brad
street, Inc reported today.
Inclement weather continued to
hamper operations in several parts
of the country, but low temperatures
again stimulated interest in winter
merchandise, such as overcoatS,
women's cloth and fur coats. warm
underwear and blankets. Rubber
and overshoe sales increased,
Despite unfavorable weather. early
interest in women's spring suits was
repeatedly surprisingly good, and
consequently good demand was noted
for accessory lines. Brisk activity in
shoes was credited in part to antici-
patory buying. Mems clothing and
furnishings Jagged substantially
behind women's wear.
Price appeal ruled in initial re-
spOnse to midWinter furniture pro-
motions-unlike January sales OF
personal merchandise and white
goods, where quality frequently was
emphasized more Fairly good de-
mand was reported, although results
were often limited by weather.
Vigorous promotions were made in
mattresses and case goods. Cities
reported brisk sales in small house
furnishings as we'll as apparel and
food. Cutlery and metalware plus
promoted items moved readily
Wholesale activity was at a good
pace and largely dominated by
spring trade shows Sales frequently
failed to reflect exceptional market
demand because of widespread use
| OF voluntary allotments.
Depleted durable goods stocks and
exceptionally heavy buying last year
were held partly responsible for
lower dollar volume this year. but
some sources suggested Victory taxes
and the Eastern pleasure driving
ban contributed. Sales generally
were estimated 4 to per cent below
year ago.

Washingtonians who have visited
Mexico, and those who hope to 60
there some day, will enjoy the ex-
hibition of water colors of that
country, by Walter Buckingham
Swan, which opened December 3 at
the National Museum, sponsored by
the Ambassador of Mexico.
This image Of our next-door
neighbor to the south is seen wholly
through the eyes of North Ameri-
can. Although Mr.. Swan presumably
has spent much Of his time in Mex
leo since 1898, there is not hint in
his paintings of any influence from
Mexican artists works. Some
Americans who visit Mexico seem
eager to become little Orozcos or
Riveras. But Mr.. Swan, who was
born in Boston, studied under Sar-
gent and at the School OF the Bos-
ton Museum Of Fine Arts, as we'll as
at Boston Tech and in London and
Paris, offers what one would expect
from a painter with his background.
Although done in a high key, the
water colors are cool and detached.
They are actually water-color
drawings, having the precision and
delicacy Of architectural renderings.
The artist figuratively takes the
public into his studio by exhibit
ing one large pencil drawing which
illustrates the preliminary founda-
ton of all his paintings. The draw
ms is complete in itself, with out
line, high lights and shadows me-
ticuously done before any color is
applied.
A majority of the paintings COM
prise architecture with landscape,
which type of subject is Mr.. Swans
forte. With indefatigable patience,
he has delineated countless indi-
vidual tiles. bricks, stones, blossoms
and other details in all their subtle
variations of color. The labor is
justified by the beauty OF such
buildings as Taxco Cathedral, the
