ReportinH House
Hits Presidents S
Salary Order
Roosevelt Accused
Of Seizing Power
Over Congress
BY the Associated Press.


The House Ways and Mean.
Committee formally accused
President Roosevelt today Of
going beyond the intent of Con-
gress in his executive order linn
iting salaries to a net of $25, ,00(
and asked that it be voided.
Thas carrying along what Repre-
sentative Disney, Democrat, of Okla
homa called "a revolt against gov
ernment by directive" the commit
tee recommended to the House that
Congress itself set the ceiling or
high salaries at their pre-Pearl Har.
Dor levels.
This, the committee said in re-
port on bill by Mr.. Disney set
ting the pre-Pearl Harbor ceilings
provides a method of salary limita-
ton by law rather than by directive
1t does not admit of confscation
or liquidation of incomes. This
provision offers an orderly, legal
process"
Report Given to House.
The report to the House, prepared
by Mr.. Disney at the committee S
direction, declared:
your committee finds that in its
Judgment it was never the intent
of the Congress in either of the
anti-inf1ation bills to give the Presi-
dent authority to issue the executive
order of October 3, 1912 (placing
fha 1iv,if ~, u,o ri 1--WE eo lo r;oeN L,,+
it is evident that the intent of Con-
gress was to the contrary"
The committee approved the Dis
ney salary proposal last Saturday
by l5-to-10 vote, and in doing SO
brushed aside Mr. Roosevelt's rec
ommendation that Congress impose
a super tax to limit wartime SAL
aries, after taxes, to $25 900 for sin
gle persons and $4,000 for married
couples.
If Congress itself set up such cell
ings, the President has told the
committee, he would rescind his
executive order placing the ceilings
at $25,o00.
Rider to Debt Limit Bill.
Avail AAoiiCs jill, detdSl1EQ DIS d
rider to a measure raising the Ma
tions debt limit, provides:
mo action shall be taken .
which will limit the payment of an
nual salaries to q maximum amount
less than the greater Of the follow
ing:
Il. The annual rate of salary paid
to such employees on December T.,
194l; or 2, an amount which after
reduction by the Federal income
taxes thereon would equal $25, ,000."
The committee report contended
the ceilings prescribed under the
Disney bill would not allow the Gre
alton of war millionaires, point
ing to the laws which tax large in
comes heavily and to the power of
renegotiation of war contracts to
prevent unreasonable profits.
This amendment" the report
said, will be another provision of
law which - will operate to avoid
excessive profits being made in
World War II. because the amend
ment has the effect of freezing
large salaries at prewar peacetime
levels.
"At the same time, the amend
ment recognizes the importance to
the American way of life OF pre-
serving incentive by not prescribing
salary increases where the salary is
less than s25 900 after taxes"

Conspiracy in WPB
To Thwat Alcohol
Rubber Output Hinted
Counsel for Senote Group
Almost Persuaded of
Obstruction, He Says
Ey the Associated Press.


Paul E. Hadlick, counsel for
Senators investigating the syn
thetic rubber program, said today
ne was almost persuaded" that
there was "a conspiracy in the
WPB chemicals branch" to pre-
vent the building of plants to
manufacture grain alcohol to
produce rubber.
Mr.. Hadlick made the assertion
after Representative Mahon, Demo-
crat, of Texas told a Senate Aeri-
culture Subcommittee he felt some
officials were seeking obstacles" to
throw in the path of the alcohol rub
Der program.
Chairman Gillette commented
they have been successful in doing
So"
Mr.. Mahon quoted John w. BOYER.
chief of the Alcohols and Solvents
Section of WPB's Chemical Branch,
as having told him last week that
Texas grain sorghum would not be
used in the manufacture of alcohol.
Held Not "Forthright."
That statement was made by Mr..
Boyer, the Representative said, after
Texans had been told their State
was under consideration for the To-
cation of grain alcohol plants.
Mr.. Mahon added that he had
the feeling Mr.. Boyer had not been
fortnight"
He said Mr.. Boyer reported that
the Agriculture Department had
blocked the use of Texas grain
sorghums, while he was told by that
department the Government was
free to use anything necessary" in
the making Of alcohol
Representative Stefan, Repub-
lican, of Nebraska. meanwhile told
the House yesterday he had found
mot the slightest foundation to
what he said was a charge that the
State Department has entered into
secret agreement with South Ameri-
can rubber producers to scrap the
synthetic rubber industry in this
Nation after the war.
Attributed to Consultant.
Mr.. Stefan said DR.. William J.
Hale, research consultant for the
Dow Chemical Co, has been widely
quoted in the press as making the
serious charge"
Upon learning of this charge"
the Nebraskan declared, Il imme-
diately got in touch with the State
Department and I can state unequiv-
ocally that there Is not the slight
est foundation for the charge made
by DR. Hale; that neither the State
Department nor. to it's knowledge,
any other agency of the Govern
ment has either entered into or pro-
posed any agreement or understand
ing Of any kind regarding the post
war status of the synthetic rubber
industry in this country.
Il understand that the State De-
partment Is asking DR.. Hale for
an. explanation of his statement"

THE ARMY'S GAIN
is OUR LOSS

Ken Morris, committeeman for
Dept. L in E, has received his
notice to report for duty with the
Army. Kenny has been in the
Army Signal Corps for six months,
but has been attending classes in
radio at the University pending his
assignment to regular duty.
Ken treated his position in re-
CARDS to the draft in much the
same manner that he worked as
a member of the Executive Com
mittee; he took the bull by the
horns and did the best he knew
how, which usually was plenty
good. He didn't wait to be drafted,
but signed up. AS a result, he now
knows where he is going and which
branch of the service he will be in.
Kenny's loss to the Committee
and to those he served will be
more keenly felt as time goes by,
but let's not forget that his sacri-
flee is far greater than ours. So
what do you say to giving darn
good egg three rousing cheers and
a farewell God speed?

TROUBLE IN THE NAVY DEPT.

For 10 months, under our present
contract, workers were released
before serving their bid time, and
new employees were allowed to bid
before six months.
Now the company refuses to go
by the terms Of the contract and
places its own notice on the board,
to the effect that n worker cannot
be released, and new workers can
not bid for six months.
As a result Of the company rul-
ing, many are cheated out Of the
opportunity for n better job b.
company discrimination against
workers on the job. New men are
picked up and given preference.
To add 10 the injury, the bosses
tell the disappointed workers that
the Union is the cause OF il all.
The Union refuses to release work
ers for whom the bosses are plug
ging unless all other workers get
the same deal.
Don't let them pull the wool
over your eyes. Wake up, fellow
workers in the Navy Building. You
can see the Union is not to blame.
Let's settle the trouble as quickly
as possible and get behind our
officers and Union. Let's show the
company we have a strong organi-
zation.
