BULLETIN

Clyde Mills, Government
conciliator, Cancelled a joint
negotiation session scheduled
for 2 pm. today between
hotel and strikers representa-
tives, so both parties would
be available to the District
Commissioners if and when
needed.
Meanwhile, Commissioner
Guy Mason disclosed today
that union officials had re-
jected a proposal he made
under which the striking
hotel employees would return
to work and proceed with col
lective bargaining on issues
other than wages.
A joint conference scheduled
at the Labor Department this
afternoon of spokesmen for
management and workers re-
awakened hope of early settle
ment of the city's two-week
hotel strike.
The meeting, called by Concilia-
tor Clyde Mills, will be the first
joint session in week and the
second since the 5000 service work.
ers left their jobs in IS leading ho-
tells October II.
The invitation to confer, extended
unexpectedly during the forenoon,
was accepted Immediately by Joseph
c. McGarraghy. attorney for the
hotels, and Samuel Levine, repre-
senting the striking workers.
Also attending the conference
will be Walter White, assistant to
the chairman of the business ad-
visory council in the Labor Depart
ment, and John B. Haggerty, presi-
dent of the International Brother
hood of Bookbinders, advisers to Mr.
Mills in the effort to end the strike.
None of the participants would
speculate in advance of the joint
meeting on subjects which might be
discussed nor on actions which
might be taken.
It was recalled as significant. how
ever, that Mr.. Mills has said re-
peatedly such conference would
not be called unless and until there
is something to discuss which might
offer a basis of settlement.
Meanwhile, the expectation was
that other possible actions in con-
nection with the strike will wait for
report on the meeting
Among these is a threatened SYM
pathy withdrawal of engineers which
would deprive the struck hotels of
heat, hot water and air conditioning.
Members of the engineers union
Local 80, International Union of OPP
Grating Engineers voted last night
to request authorization of their in

Slayer Of Executive
Sought in Maine
BY the Associatsd Press

BOSTON, June 11.-Search for
the slayer of William A. Whitcomb,
73, wealthy president of the Great
Northern Paper Co., turned to Maine
today, where the company has vast
holdings in mills and timber land.
In the face of a dearth of clues
here to the well-dressed assassin
who shot Mr.. Whitcomb to death in
his private Office in the financial
district yesterday, two Boston detec-
tives were dispatched by plane to
an unannounced destination in
Maine.
Police modified their valuation of
an unsigned contract-the original
and three carbon copies-found on
Mr.. Whitcomb's desk. expressing the
opinion that it was "a phoney," in
tended to throw them off the trail.
1t was entirely typewritten-bear-
ing no handwriting-and the name
mentioned in it held no significance
to members Of Mr.. Whitcomb's fam
lily and officials of the company
Yesterday the document was re-
garded as a possibly important clue

the slain magnate's desk bore na

ties. for care Of INDECENT patients at
Children's, Emergency and Casualty
Hospitals.
In the public welfare section an
additional $1,173,000 is recommended
over the House total of $9,949, ,000
This includes $116,600 for extra
guards and other employees at the
District Jail, plus $145 900 for physi-
cal improvements there to make it
more escape proof.
For capital Improvements at the
District Training School for Feeble
minded at Laurel, Md, the Senate
bill carries an additional $470, 900.
The projects would include $3.50, 900
for housing Of resident employees.
To permit an increase in staff at this
institution, including a physician
and % attendants, the bill carries
$44 500.
Other increases recommended are

to $11 1922. 1t is the recommen-
dation of the committee that the
percentage should apply to all three
funds, since. the Federal Govern
ment does not contribute to the
highway fund in the form of gaso-
line taxes Or payments for streets
and curbs; nor does the Federal
Government contribute to the water
fund, since all water is furnished to
the Federal Government free of
charge.
Federal Share Same for 6 Years.
The enormous increase in the ex-
penses of the District during the
last 10 years has been occasioned
by the tremendous expansion of the
Federal Government, with no COM
mensurate increase in the payment
by the Federal Government. During
the last six years there. has been no
change in the amount. Or the Fed
eral payment. Furthermore, mas
much as the area of the District Is
fixed and cannot expand, when the
Federal Government purchases
property the tax revenue previously
received on such property is lost to
the District and cannot be replaced
In the opinion of the committee
the District is underschooled, under
hospitaled and underpoliced. Due to
the population growth in recent
years, and due to the backlog of
urgently needed capital outlay i'm
provements that accumulated during
the war, the District is facing a con-
siderable capital outlay program in
it schools, hospitals, it's other in
stitutions and in street, water and
sewerage outlay.
More Urgent Problems Met.
ITO meet the more urgent situa-
tions facing the District, the COM
mittee will recommend an amend
ment on the Senate floor proposing
to increase the amount of the Fed
eral contribution from $4,000, 900 to
sl0,00O00O.' In recommending this
temporary increase in the amount
of the Federal contribution pending
the enactment OF permanent leg
islation, the committee in the larger
increases it is recommending over
the bill as passed by the House, has
endeavored to take care of the
more urgent situations existing at

all intended to improve legislative
procedure.
Hight lights of the Senate meas
ure are:
Increases the salary of Senators
and Representatives from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year, makes members ell
gible to join the civil service system
and gives each Senator and Repre-
sentative an $1,000 executive assist
ant.
Requires Congress to estimate the
Governments probable income and
outgo at the start of each session,
anG If expenditures are to exceed
revenue collections, both houses
must pass a resolution authorizing
the resulting increase in public
debt.
President Must Cut Funds.
AS q further step toward balanc-
Ing the budget, the bill provides
that If the President later finds that
expenses are running above the
limit specified by Congress, he must
make such cuts in appropriations
as will keep the total outlay for the
fiscal year within that limit.
The lobbying regulation does not
prevent organizations from having
legislative representatives at the
Capitol, but requires any person
who is paid for such service tc
register with the clerks of the
House and Senate. 1t also requires
any person who raises or spends
funds for the purpose of influenc-
ing legislation to make periodical
financial reports.
Relieves Congress of considering
q mass of small private claims and
bridge bills.
Sets up a stenographic pool to
help members In handling the
routine work OF their Offices.
Bans Special Committees.
Prohibits the creation OF any
more special or joint committees
or extension of the life of such
committees already in existence.
Puts an end to proxy voting In
committees by providing that no
bill be reported out unless a ma
iority OF the committee were actu-
ally present and voted in favor of
the report.
Requires committees to set aside
regular period each month during
which members of Congress may
appear in behalf of bills they have
introduced.
Fixes the last day of July as a
regular time for annual ual'adjournment
of Congress, until the following
January, unless the leaders of the
House and Senate call the members
back during that interval for some
special purpose.
Assignments Limited.
Although the bill reduces Senate
committees from 33 to IS, it leaves
the House free to determine how far
it will go in consolidating its COM
mittees before it passes the bill.
The bill limits Senators to two
committee assignments, except in
the case Of few committees. This
coupled with the reduction in num-
ber of committees, is designed to
enable Senators to concentrate their
efforts on fewer subjects. This pro-
vision means that 18 Senators will
have to give UP the prestige of being
chairmen of the abolished COM
mittees-places they have achieved
through the seniority rule.
AS examples of how the commit
tees were reduced, the Military and
Naval groups were merged into an
Armed Services Committee. Like
wise, Commerce and Interstate
Commerce were united.
The original plan was to limit
each of the new committees to l3
members. but Senator La Toilette
agreed to last-minute concession
leaving the Appropriations Commit
tee at 81.

$4,000 Campaign foI
Junior Police Corps

A mass meeting launching a $685.
900 fund drive for the Junior Police
and Citizens Corps was held last
night at the Shiloh Baptist Church
after an earlier meeting by civic
and business leaders who drew final
plans for the campaign.
The city-wide canvass for dollar
memberships to support the corps
for the coming year and pay for
remo6eling club building gets un-
der way tomorrow.
G. Rowland Shaw, president of
the board of trustees of the corps
and former Assistant Secretary OF
State, said the drive aims not at
81 900 contributions, but the small
individual support of every adult
citizen in Washington"
Pays Tribute to Corps.
Mr.. Shaw and A. E. Lichtman
treasurer of the board, paid tribute
to Policeman Oliver A. Cowan OF
No. 13 precinct and the 10000 youths
whose smaller "neighborhood gangs
make up the corps membership.
Mr.. Lichtman said the corps has
its roots in the community" and
does not function in conflict with
other youth clubs in the city. The
corps is clearing house to funnel
boys and girls of every creed and
color into the established youth or
ganizations." he said.
James L. Hatton, 10, a guest
speaker, blamed many youth prob
lens on parent delinquency" while
Policeman Cowan, after acknowl-
edging praise for keen insight and
leadership which encourages conf
dence among youths with whom he
works." said his function was ito
take advantage of neighborhood
gangs" by leaving them intact and
conditioning them to develop their
own morals in relation to their
community"
Called inexpensive Prevention.
Capt. Lloyd Kelly, night super
intendent of police, said from a
practical standpoint the fund drive
is inexpensive prevention, compared
with the cost of dealing with
criminals"
Adolphus Hughes was toastmaster
for the luncheon, attended by SO
board members and civic representa-
tives, while more than 200 corps
workers were present for the rally

Senator Byrd, Democrat. of Vir.

fort to scale down the retirement
benefits in the bill for members OF
Congress who elect to join the re.

sought to put congressional retire.
ment terms on level with employees
OF comparable pay in the executive
departments.
Members of Congress would pay
into the retirement fund per cent
OF their salaries, instead of the per
cent rate paid by civil service en-
ployes, and deductions, or back pay
ments, would be required for at least
five years. Senator Byrd contended
that, under the terms of the bill, q
member OF Congress would get q
greater return for the payments
made than $4,000 official in a
Government department.
His amendment was opposed, how
ever, by Majority Leader Barkley
Minority Leader White and Senator
George, Democrat, of Georgia. who
defended the fairness of the original
plan.
In the closing hours of debate
Senator Bilbo, Democrat, of Missis-
sippi took the floor to oppose the

the Senate he is now engaged in
asking his constituents to give him

same price" and added that he, OF
