" INTERIOR PAY PLAN DRAWS HOUSE FIRE Classification Schedulés inj Supply Bill Meet Trinle Attack. 1 | | Salaries under the classification act, in accordance with allocations made LY the personnel classification roard. as they have been presented in the House in the first of the big appropriation bills—the Interfor De- partment supply measure—were the stomm, center of & bitter fight on the Noor of the House yesterday. Representative Louis C. Cramton. in presenting the first Bill to carry the new salary schedules, made it clear in his report to the House that the attitude of the appropriations committee was that since the classi- tication act had been passed, with these salary schedules specifically written in, the committee had no op- tion but to write those salarfes into the appropriation bills for the vari- cus departments and establishments. Chairman Madden of the appropria- tions committec confirmed this in a speech on the floor- of the Housc whict. consumed an hour and cight- een minutes. | t MISS MARY LOUISE TINLKY, Trinity College. '24, executive weere- tary of Catholic Righer student move- ment of Wash Attack Interior Sal fen, i uries in the Interior Depart- ment bill, which was taken up again vesterday, were attacked from three | different angles, two of which were d bated and the opposition defeated. Dc bute on the third objection is hunging | over until tomorrow. H The first obj jon was based on the | churge that the bill is carrying lump m appropriations instead of a statu- | tory roil. Previously there were some | of both in the bill, but now there ure | lump sum appropriations all through | the bill. In answering this attack Representa- tive Cramton, who Is In charge of the | bill, argued that while there is a meas ure of discretion given to bureau chief vet these officials have no opportunity the discretion because all of i subject to the class The ntative Blanton of Texas offered an amendment” to substitute a statutory roll instead of lump sum appropriations, but this was deteated. Then Representative Roach of Mis- #ouri offered an amendment for the purpose of preventing the payvment of salary higher than the ur- ry. The real effect of this, nt would be to prevent the classification #ct from becoming op- crative. This vas in order under the Holman rule, bu” was dofeated. Baclk of this attack on tie salarles | in the Interior Department bill is a demand for economy and a stund | against general increases of ries. The fact that stood out, howeve! emphasized constantly by Represent- ative Cramton—was that the clasyi- fleation dct Is the law, and the sal- | uries are fixed in that law, and as long that law stands the appro- priations committee and the Congrexs has no option but to appropriate the laries to carry out the provisions of “the law. Offers Another Amendment. Representative Stengle of New York. who in a speech on the floor during the week stood forth as a champion of the cause of federal em- | vloyes, warning against the hidden evils in & merit efficiency system, and | who has since attracted attention b measures to discharge the publ printer and to abolish the United | States bureau of efficiency, offered | another amendment which is pending. Representative Stengle seeks to | lhave the words “in accordance with the classification act of 1923" stricker. | from the bill. He has indicated that he feels that salaries in some classes are uot high enough.. The position of Representative Cramton in reply to this will be consistent with his post tion in successfully arguing against the other proposed amendments—that the appropriations committee and Congress can do nothing but hold the in accord with the classifica- tion act until the classification act is repealed or amended. BILL TO AMEND ACT. Classification Measure Introduced | in House. ntative Davis of Tennessee | yesterday introduced a bill to amend the classification act so that para- zraph 5 of section 6 would read as follows: i “If the employe is not a veteran of | the civil war, war with Spain or the vorld war, or a widow of any such veteran and is receiving compensa- tion in excess of the range of salary prescfibed for the appropriate grade, the compengation shall -be reduced to the rate within the grade nearestthe present compensatiof | Repres STORIES OF PHARAOH FAMILY ARE RELATED| i Dr. Barroll Delivers Egyptian Lec- re Before University Club ! i | of District. i ing met King Tut-ankh-Amen long figo, Washington was introduced inumber of his official relatives ight at the University Club by itchell Carroll, professor in ology and ‘art history of s Washington University. *arroll, who referred facetiously | 1 1 Egyptian,” told how the fine | birth in the early Fan's bellef in immortality and | mroahs' race each to build the pyramids. archaeology's “greatest pres i+ _Dr. Mitchell showed his a “pictures of the king's mother- % his father-in-law and his Mitchell said King Tut-ankh- had married his princess bride | he was thirteen and she ten.
