PAINLEVE'S POLICY UPHELD. Socialists Vote Confidence in Premier’s Actions. PARIS, June 24 (#) —Premier Pain- leve's ministry has triumphantly sur vived the first test question on which it had been prophesied that the Social ist_party would abandon it M.

BOSTON, June 24 (P).—The »yer Putnam, which left Wisc vesterday to overtake the fillan Arctic expedition, is carrying vy radio equipment for installation eboard the schocner Bowdoin and the steamer Peary, which will insure sat- fsfactory communication with the three naval planes, it was learned at the navy vard here today. Rear Admiral Louis de commandant of the first trict, said that cquipment, been sent by the Navy from Boston to Wiscasset by motor truck, had been left behind on the dock by the expedi- tion. The expedition was unable to load everything aboard when it sailed, he said, and this was left behind.

S. Supreme Court Right of Federal Employe to Charge Government for Midday Meal on Short Trip Out of City, Upheld by Court of Claims, Is Contested. The controller general in several rul- ings has held that Government em- ployes cannot be reimbursed for meals taken between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. while the employe is near his ‘“permanent station.” The Court of Claims reversed this position of the controller general in its decision of June 15 in Ward's case, and said: “It is not disputed that the plaintiff saw fit to eat during the hours of his absence from the District, which em- braced a usual meal hour within the regulations, or that he ate at the ex- pense claimed, and no reason appears why he should not be reimbursed ac- cordingly. Ward, at the time of eating the dis- puted meal, was an employe of the De- partment of Agriculture, and had been ordered October 6, 1924, by the then chief inspector to go to Alex- andria about 11 o'clock in the morning on Government business.
