A saving to the government of $28,- 600,000 a year ultimately will be made: possible under a bill providing for a rew basis of pay to the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, coast guard, public health service and the coast and geo- detic survey, which has been com- pleted by the joint congressional serv- ice pay commission. The bill was or- dered” submitted to the House and Senate late yesterday, according to the Associated Press. The saving to the government Is estimated on the :lrr‘fienl strength of each of the serv- ces. Expects $1:3,000,000 Reduction. Senator Wadsworth, chairman of the commi: is_authority for the statement that in the fiscal year 1923 the new rate of pay proposed for the services would result in a reduction of the budget for the six services by about §13,000,000. In the five years thereaftar a further reduction of $9.480,000 would be accomplished an- provided the strength of the s remained unchanged. After at time the “ultimate” saving would be $28.600,000 a year, according to fig. ures which the commission will su mit to the two houses of Congre when the measure is formally re ported. The proposed pay arrangement is based on a combination of length of service with the rate increases inci- dent to promotion. Members of the committee said that in some Instances there would be sharp cuts for younger men in the services, but tkese, it was belfeved, would be more than offset by provisions protecting the personnel in times of slow pro- motions. Days when promotions come fast, thus giving younger men quickly added pay, also are dealt with, 3o that the other extreme from the results of slow promotions does not take the younger men too rapidly to the pay level of their elders. Below Present Basis. As a whole. the proposed rate is below the present basis which was fixed in 1920, but Chairman Wads- worth said that it still remained materially higher than the eatablished in 1908. Representatives of all the services affected have participated constantly with the joint commission in working out the hundreds of items which go to make tp such a bill, and while not all are entirely satisfied. most of them were said by committee members to be agreeable to the new program. The commission has been studying the subject for several months, but upon completion of its work is auto- matically dissolved. already mittee, including the five Senate members of the commission, which will make a formal report on the measure as soon as the commission's views are put in writing. Representative McKenzie, republi- ion, will ask the House at the eariiest opportunity to set up similar machinery for the legislative handling of the bill in that body. BURGLARS FAIL TO GET INTO REALTY SAFES necticat Avenue Entered Last Night. Burglars last night visited the real ate building of John P. Story, 1112 Connecticut avenue, and made unsucs cessful attempts to rob two safes, one in the office on the lower floor, and the other in a room on tRe second floor. The hole in the safe on the lower floor was drilled about two inches from the combination, and the condition of the door indicated that an explosive had been used, but with- out result. No explosive had been used on the other safe. A hole had been-drilled in the combination, and, the police think, the would-be rob- bers were frightened from the build- ing before they had time to use an explosive. One safe contained $30 the police were told, while there was no cash in the other safe. James Hawkins, colored, in the em- ploy of the realty operator, reached the building shortly after 7 o'clock this morning and notified Inspector Clifford L. Grant, chief of detectives, and members of his squad, who con- ducted an investigation. Police reached the conclusion that the attempt was made by amateurs, who probably wore gloves, no finge: prints being obtaimed from either safe. Entrance to the building was gained by cutting bars from a rear window. WILL HONOR MEMORY OF JOHN QUINCY ADAMS Representatives of historical, patriotic and art societies will honor the memory of John Quincy Adams late this after- noon by holding memorial services on the spot, now marked by a bronze plate, where the great statesman, who became the sixth President of the United States, fell fatally stricken in the then halls of Congress. Senator David I. Walsh of Massachu- setts and Senator Caraway of Arkansas will deliver eulogies describing the last scene of the great statesman’s life, which was enacted while in his seat in Congress. Senator Caraway will tell how Adams, under a sudden stroke, sank down in his seat when the Speaker of the House was about to begin a h, and his Iast words wer o nk the members of the House. This is the last of earth. I am content.” Representative Frederick Dallinger, formerly a professor at Harvard Uni- versity, and who nas been a life-long Intimate of the Adams family, will also speak, glving intimate, family stories about the former President. ‘The memorial program was arranged by Miss Byrd Mock, who has arranged & series of memorial services for the ‘Makers of America,” among whom she places musicians, writers, painters and sculptors on an equal footing with former Presidents of the United States and other distinguished statesmen.
