Mcclellan Bill Reported.
Five Army Flyers Killed
In Two Florida Crashes
By The Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla, March 10.-Five
men were killed in two separate
Army airplane accidents near here
within an hour last night, the public
relations office at Drew Field an
nounced.
About 1890 o'clock a dive bomber
on a routine training flight from
Drew Field was forced down near
St. Petersburg. The gunner bailed
out just before the landing and
drowned in the bay, the public re-
lations Office reported. The pilot
made a successful landing, although
the wheels of the plane would not
come down, and was uniniured.
An hour later a medium bomber
returning to Avon Park from Elgin
Field in North Florida made a forced
landing at Drew Field, overshot the
runway and burst into flames. Four
members of the crew were killed. one
severely burned, and two rescued
without apparent injury, the Army
stated.

Rider by 0'Mahoney
Puts Check on Hirinq
Per Diem Experts
Committee Clears Plan
To Cover One Phase
Of Mcclellan Bill

A method of giving Congress q
check on employment of per diem
experts by Government bureaus has
been written into the first deficiency
bill by the Senate Appropriations
Committee, and will come up for
floor debate later this week.
Sponsored by Senator OMahoney
Democrat, of Wyoming, the amend
ment seeks to dispose of one phase
of the Mcclellan bill, which seeks
to require Senate confirmation of
all persons drawing $4,000 or more
from the Government.
Two Requirements.
Senator OMahoney contended
confirmation was not the way to
cure any abuses that may occur in
the employment of per diem experts.
Accordingly, he obtained Appropri-
ations Committee approval to this
amendment, which requires two
things:
First, before any department or
agency could employ an expert on
a per diem basis it would have to
prove to the Budget Bureau that the
services to be performed could not
be obtained through civil service;
second, any agency employing such
per diem employees would have to
submit to Congress before July l,
and quarterly thereafter, a report
listing the appointees. their sal
aries and any outside employment
they have.
The appropriation bill rider is not
a substitute for the Mcclellan bill,
but Senator OMahoney said it
would eliminate the need for the
Danaher amendment to the Nc
Kellar bill which would require
Senate confirmation of all persons
getting, $4,000 or more, except ar
tisanS and craftsmen. The OMa-
honey amendment also exempts
artisans and craftsmen, many of
whom are employed regularly on a
per diem basis.
Mcclellan Bill Reported.
Senator O'Mahoney is seeking to
conflne the Mcclellan bill to con-
f1rmation of policy making officials,
appointed outside the classified civil
service, regardless of their salary,
rather than to confirm all persons
above $4,000 even though they per-
form no policy-making duties.
The revised Mcclellan bill has
been reported from the Judiciary
Committee, but probably will not
be taken up until Senator Nc
kellar RECEIVERS from his present
illness.

Bill Relieves Poor States
OF Matching Pension Fund!
By the Associated Press.

BY Inc associated Press.
States would not need to match
Federal grants for payment of old
age pensions under q bill introduced
by Senator Bilbo, Democrat, of Mis-
sissippi.
Under existing law, any State that
receives the maximum $50 a person
d month from the Federal Govern
ment must match it with State
funds. But under Senator Biibo's
measure, if State were unable to
contribute anything, it still would
receive a maximum $50.
Senator Bilbo also introduced yes
terday two other measures relating
to Federal grants to dependent chill
dren and to the blind, under which
the maximum Federal grants would
be given to the States even though
they were unable to match them
with State funds, as required at
present.

Kenneth Spencer
Shows Promise
In Recital
Young BaSsO Heard
In H0uard University
Concert Series
Bv ALICE EVERSMAN.

The school music of Howard
University presented Kenneth Spen-
GER, baSso. in a recital last night as
! part of the yearly concert series
given in Rankin Chapel. The young
singer made decided impression in
a program of varied content, in
which he had the sensitive assist
ance of Jonathan Brice as accom-
PIANIST.
Mr.. Spencer's talent resembles
that Of Paul Robson, and it is
easy to predict that he will join that
select coterie of famed singers of his
race when his art has matured still
more. His voice is remarkable for
its sorority and expressive power, to
which he adds an engaging stage
presence and personality. Gifted
with a poetic insight into music and
text, he sings with rich feeling that
is backed by a we'll grounded
musicianship and a refined taste
eclectic in its scope.
AS y SV Ni. optilCtl OOtS IlOb TAKE
advantage of his full powers which
were indicated in the opening num-
bers, Bach's "Esist Vollbracht' and
Handel's Isl ira Ceppi." These
works in particular brought forth
both the strength of his voice and
its mellow quality and showed his
excellent training in the long pas
sages of agility, where breath con-
troll and style played an important
part. Both numbers were superbly
sung and aroused an immediate in
terest in the talented performer.
Italian, French and German songs
followed, and while Mr.. Spencer's
innate response to the sentiments
expressed had the power to awaken
like feeling in the listener, he
missed some telling effects by the
vocal restraint which he exercised.

lost hope of ever having children,
cleanness of body and soul. Her
officer believes her to be everything
woman should be; seIf-controIed,
principled, high-minded.
ST don't think he's always been
such a saint" she writes me re-
sentfully. "BUt anyway, he's the
kind of man whose associates and
family all praise him, think he's
wonderful. He's 81. I asked him
once if he'd ever loved any girl but
me and he laughed and said lots
He's gentleman, sure that he'll
always know what's right, and do it,
and be admired for it. He has a
wonderful mother, not rich, but ev-
eryone says that she brought up her
five children well. Mark adores her,
and I suppose she would be wild if
she knew the truth about me, and do
her best to break up our marriage.
''But this is what I want to know"
the letter ends. Have any right
to marry any man, knowing about
all these experiences I have had,
and knowing that there won't be
children? If I tell him, he may say
that it won't make any difference,

The truth is, you do see, Viola,
and that's why you're writing me.
And my advice to you is that you
tell Mark everything, break your en-
gagement and send him back to the
service In few weeks absolutely
free Of any tie to you. If, when he
comes back, he still wants you, il
will be after he has had time to
think things over, and after you
have had time, too. 1t would not
be fair to him to let him marry you

You say it may not make any

very great difference. A man of

feeling of admiration and conf
dence, and you have made that i'm
possible. He could not tell his moth
er your story, it would prejudice
her too bitterly against you, and
consequently there would always be
discomfort and secrecy between him
and his mother, and eventually a
feeling of impotence and resent
ment against you, who had crippled
his life.
Yours is not the story of a mere
youthful indiscretion; if is the his
tory of an adventures who could
not learn from one sharp lesson, but
went her lawless way Selling what
ever she wanted at any cost.
Tell Mark the truth and send him
on his way.
That would be the only way In
which you can preserve your self
respect, ana go on gaining on the
hard road back.
Meanwhile, you other girls-bui

high-tide of youth and courage and

happy marriage, for the real full
