O'Con- nor, chairman of the House Rules Committee and a constant thorn in the administration’s flesh. The President was unable to defeat Sen- ators George, Tydings or “Cotton EQ” Smith, but he did unseat O'Connor. However, if White House advisers think they are rid of O'Connor, it might be well for them to consult Congressional - disbursing records. Strange as it seems, the New York “purgee” still adorns the Con- gressional payroll as a $2,600-a-year “glerk” to Representative Martin J. Kennedy of New York. When questioned, Kennedy read- ily admitted that he had “hired” O'Connor as an assistant. | Reminded that O'Connor never| shows up in his office to earn thel money he is paid by the taxpayers, Kennedy didn't bat an eyelash. “Mr. O'Connor has a law office | in New York and in Washington,” | Kennedy was reminded. “w‘hat! does he do to earn a salary in your | office on Capitol Hill?” | “Oh, he's my legal adviser,” re- | plied Kennedy blithely. | GEORGIA GRAVY | The Merry - Go- Round recently told how Eugene Garey, ousted counsel of the House Federal Com- | munications Commission investi-| gating committee, lived in a fancy| sulte in the Mayflower Hotel here! for eight months at the taxpayers'| expense, with the knowledge andl approval of the committee’s former | chairman, anti-New Deal Repre-| sentative Gene Cox of Georgia. | Here’s a second installment to! the story: Just before Cox resigned | chairmanship under pressure, he| stole another march on the tax-| payers by boosting the salary of his| niece, Mildred Cox, a committee | stenographer and record clerk, from | $2.400 to $3,000 a year. | Miss Cox, one of six relatives| whom the gravy-gorged Georgia Congressman has planted on the Federal payroll, is continuing in her job at the increased: salary under the new chairman, Represen- tative Clarence F.

NOTE—In addition Cox aroused widespread comment and criticism when he received a check for $2,500 from a Georgia radio. station in connection with lobbying activities before the FCC.

Plans for the transfer of the equipment and work heretofore per- formed by the Mines Experimental Station at Fairbanks to the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines there had been agreed upon by President Charles E. Bunnell of that institution and B. D. Stewart, Supervising Engineer of the Federal Bureau of Mines in the Territory, according to an announcement made this day. A bill for the cregtion of a special fund in the Federal Treasury out of the revenue accruing to the United States from the sealing indus- try which was to be used by the Department of Commerce to defray its expenses in handling the seal herds and raising foxes, etc., was passed by the Senate and was awaiting action in the House. Repairs were started at the lower end of Main Street this day on the block between Front Street and the waterfront which had been closed s uns¥fe for traffic for several days. Gross receipts of $10,435.19 and net revenues accruing to the City Treasury totaling $4,24341 were earned by the City Wharf for the twelve- month period April 1, 1923 to April 1, 1924, according to the annual report of Wharfinger J.
