WELCH BILL RAISES EFFECTIVE JULY 15 McCarl Says Workers Will Not Have to Await Allocation by Personnel Board. A (Continued from Pirst_Page.) The product will represent the relative | place of the position in the new schedule. the number one representing { the minimum salary rate, etc. If the roduct is & fraction or a mixed num- | er, such as 6 7 or 21 7, whicn will be the fact in most grades, the relative place will be that indicated by either the next higher or the next lower whole number. If the fraction of the mixed number is equal to or in excess of one- half, the relative place is the n higher whole number, and if the trac- tion of the mixed number is less than | one-half, the relative place is the next Jower whole number. “Thus. where there are seven places | tn a grade under the old schedule and | #ix places in the corresponding grade under the new schedule, the solution | will be as follows: he problem. X6 cauals s A number of illustrations v McCarl. as follows: 1. Position in grade professional and | scientific 1. receiving $1,.860 under thi ©old schedule. There are seven rates of | pay in the old schedule. $1.860 is the first rate. Therefore. the fraction of | 1-7. The number of salary raies \mdrr‘ the new schedule is six. One-seventh | times 6 equals 6-7. The fraction is| more than !;. The next higher whole| number is 1. ‘The position should be | paid at the first salary rate under the\‘ new schedule or $2,000 per annum. “2. Position in grade professional and | scientific 3. receiving $3.400. There are seven rates of pay in the old schedule. $3.400 is the fifth salary rate. There- | fore, the fraction is 5-7. There are| six salary rates in the new schedule. Five-sevenths times 6 equals 4 2-7. The | fraction of the mixed number is less' than ‘. The next lower whole num- ber is 4. The position should be paid at the fourth salary rate under the new achedule or $3,500 per annum { “3. Position in grade professional snd scientific 4, receiving $4,200. There | are seven rates of pay in the old sched- ule; $4.200 is the third salary rate.| Therefore, the fraction is 3-7. There /| are four salary rates in grade 5, the corresponding grade under the new schedule. Three-sevenths times 4 equals 1 5-7. The fraction of the mixed | number is more than 1i. The next| higher whole number is 2. This po-| sition should bs paid at the second, salary rate in grade 5 under the new | schedule, or $4,.800. “4. Position in grade clerical, ad- ministrative and fiscal 13, receiving $7.000. There are four salary rates lni this grade under the old schedule; ' $7.000 is the third salary rate. “Therefore, the fraction is 3;. There! are three salary rates in Grade 14, the| corresponding grade under the new schedule. Three-quarter times three; equals two and one-quarter. The frac-| tion of the mixed numbe- is less than | one-half. The next Jowe~ whole num- | ber is two. This position should be paid | at the second salary rate in Grade 14| under the new schedule, or $7,000 per | annum | “5. Position in custodial 2 receiving | $900. There are only five salary rates | in this grade under the old schedule. Nine hundred dollars is the first salary | rate. Therefore the fraction is one-! fifth. There are six salary rates in this | under the new schedule. One- th times six equals-one and one-fifth. ‘The fraction of the mixed number is less than one-half. This position should | be paid at the first salary rate in Grade | 2 under the new schedule, or $1,080 per | annum " | Under operation of the McCarl formula, it was pointed out in the regu- lations. “the employes would thus re- ceive the compensation relative to that in the grade from which they came also observing the requirement of the statute with respect to the grade in | which th statutes may allocate them, | that there be no reduction in com- pensation.” Purpose Substantially Accomplished ‘The purpose of the average provision, McCarl said. “is subslznuu!f aceom- plished by the requirement of said act | 25 to maintaining relative position— any exceeding the average being & direct result of the operation of the statute, which constitutes no authority for administrative action thereafter whereoy Lhe average will be exceaded, | any changes in personnel on and after July 1, 1928, not incident to or required by the amendment to the classification act. being authorized to be made only within the average | In making adjustments under the | smended classification act, in the salary rates of positions, for which the com- pensation is paid partly cash and partly in allowances furnished in kind,” Mc- Carl said, “the act does not necessarily require any adjustment in the de- termined value of allowances furnished ln“l‘nnfi but only in the rates of cash Considerable administrative authority is delegated to the administrative offices in the magter of allocating higher rfiifl’mn under the law, McCarl holds. 5 what &ppesrs 10 be an inconspicuous footnote relating to grades 5, 6 and 7 of the professional and scientific service and grades 13 and 14 of the clerical, | sdministrative and fiscal service, McCarl | says | “Where the hasic qualifications of a | position as allocated prior o July 1 1928 (as in grade P-85 5 and 6), are| covered by either of two higher grades| as described in the amended statute the operation of the statute is to re- qQuire the administrative office to place such position in whichever of the two her grades he shall determine more specifically describes the duties of the position. For instance, if the duties of & position in any office allocated in P-8| 6 prior 1o July 1, 1928, are more spe- cifically described in the amended statute under grade 8 than under grade 74, the statute suthorizes and requires | the administrative office 0 place such position in grade 87 Table Shows Grades.

Alti- Good spirit.” The tense situation in the Southern Cross control cabin was mixed with humor when C. P. T. Ulm, co-pilot, drew a cartoon of Capt. Kingsford- Smith as the latter heard the starboard motor sputter. Anotiter message told of flying above the clouds, with a clear sky and a bright moon above. “That’s when one enjoys the moon."” “Dodging about to miss a storm” was the text of another broadcast sent from an altitude of 4,600 feet, with the comment: “Looks pretty stormy | here. What a beautiful sight!” As the plane continued there was apprehension about the change of air currents. “It's going to be a bad night. | Getting dark. Circling for altitude.” Then the fiyers told of enjoying “sandwiches with nice hot coffee, thanks to our hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Faye of Kaual.” And so it went through the night, and Fanning Island enjoyed the treat, for the principal industry of this re- mote settlement is communication, this being the midway relay point of a cable operating between Australia and British Columbia.

He then cided to spend the night here. ‘The attempt of this expedition, the first to be made this Summer for the eastward passage, is' a change from last year. Then the slogan was “Get across!” and any equipment, mostly land planes, single motored, was used. Comdr. Byrd was the first to fly with a full crew and & tri-motored plane, but the America was not equipped for landing on water, No lives have ever been lost in ocedn flying where flying boats were used. The Navy's NC-4 was the first to fly the Atlantic from Newfoundland to~ the Azores, followed by Col. de Pinedo, wio, although forced down, was rescued by @ nearby ship, The late Comdr. John P. Rodgers and his crew floated safely for several days after being forced down by lack of fuel on their flight to the Hawaiian Islands. Lieuts. Maitland and Hegenberger flew safely to Hawaii in a plane similar to the Friendship, and the plane being used on the present flight of Capt. Kingsford-Smith and his three com- panions on their flight to Australia is a three-motored Fokker. They are both land planes, however. ' Can Run on Two Motors. The Priendship has a wing spread of 71 feet and is powered with three 220- horsepower Wright Whiriwind motors. Its welght, with crew, fuel supply and pontoons, is slightly in excess of 12,000 pounds. It is equipped with a 600- meter sending and reeeiving radio equip- {ment .nd emerzency radio equip- ment for sending@nessages in event the plane is down with motors silent Only 500 gallons of gasoline were car- ried on the flight from Boston, but she is to be loaded with from 900 to 1,000 gallons of gasoline at Trepassey. In | event the gasoline supply runs low oue of the motors can be cut out and the two remaining are capable of keeping the plane in the air. The registry num- ber of the plane is NX-4204. May Land at Southampton. Miss Earhart was wearing a brown sweater, tight-fitting brown knickers and high-laced boots when she ap- peared with her two companions for breakfast. She wore no hat. She was busy with her camera while the ad- ditional fuel was being pumped into the tanks. Stultz said that the time of the ! transatlantic hop would be fixed after they reached Trepassey, which he ex- pected to do in five hours. The landing in England. he said. would be at the most convenient port and indicated that Southampton might be the one selected. Stultz said that both of his com- panions were qualified to take the stick while he operated the radio but that he did not intend to keep in con- tinuous communication. ‘The fuselage of the Friendship is painted a bright orange with its name painted in ck on either side. The rudder bears the number. The top of the wing is painted gold and the engine housings are aluminum. FIRST N. A. A. WOMAN PILOT. de- Miss Earhart, Native of Kansas, Given License in 1923. ATCHISON, Kans., June 4 (#).— Miss Emelia M. Earhart, who hopes to be the first woman to span the Atlantic by air in the Xro]ecud Stultz flight, formerly resided here. She was the first woman to be granted an air license by the National Aeronautic As- sociation. She received her certificate as & pilot in 1923 after a few months’ fiying. In her final test flight she ascended to an altitude of 11,000 feet and, ac- cording to official observers of the flight at Los Angeles, she demonstrated re- markable ability. Putnam said that the ease with which the big plane had been set down and taken from the water near Halifax had shown that it was the type for this sort of endeavor. “Had it not been equipped with pontoons,” he said. “Stultz would have had to retum to the nearest landing field, which is in the United States. “With this plane almast any body of unobstructed water is a l.lndlr;f place in time of need. Should the plane be forced down en route to Europe, it should be able to float indefinitely un- less an unusually heavy storm is en- countered. The line tanks would be emptied and the side motors could be cut off with a hack saw to give the ship greater buoyaney. POLICEMEN ACCUSED OF ILLEGAL ENTRY Hesse Orders Probe of Complaint Made Against Two Men. Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of police. today ordered Inspector Albert J. Headley to make a thorough investi- gation of a complaint that police officers of the ninth precinct unlawfully en- tered 3 hame on Kramer street north- east Saturday night. Maj. Hesse said it was reported to him that Precinct Detective Arthur T. Fi- helly and Private Chester C. Stepp went to the home of Mrs, Ida Richard- son and . Estelle Hazel, sisters, and entered without a warrant to search for & man wanted for operating a still “I do not know any of the facts {n the case yet," said Maj. Hesse. “If the in- vestigation shows that the officers con- ducted themselves as the complainants indicate, they may be charged with un- lawful entry and conduct prejudicial to the reputation, good arder and diseipline of the Police Department.™ As Lieut. Gus Lauten was in com- mand of the officers at the time, Maj. Hesse indicated that he may likely be beld responsible. ‘When police raided & house at Ocean Grove, Australia, recently, they arrested ® Russian man and woman, and seised 10,000 forged S-pound notes. \ It is not necessary to have had an Ac- count at this Bank to Barrow. THE MORRIS PLAN BANK Under Supervision U. 8. Treasury 1408 XM STREET, N. W, ‘THREE WOMEN VIE FOR SEAHOP HONOR Secret Trip of One Spurs on Others—Pilot Deserts Miss Boll. By the Associated Press, NEW YORK, June 4 —A woman's secret start from Boston on & transat- lantic air expedition today spurred two other women to activity for such ventures. Surprised and hurt, Miss Mabel Bol “queen of diamonds,” who thought that Wilmer Stultz was to fly her to Europ in Charles Levine's Columbia this Summer, broke into tears when she learned Stuitz had flown from Boston to Halifax with Miss Amelia Ear- hart Telephoning the newspapers for in- formation, Miss Boll said: “I can't under- stand it. Wilmer was down here only a few days ago and I asked him when he was coming back to fly the Columbia. He said in just a few ! days and that he {would be here today sure.” Here she started to cry, her being plainly audible. “And now he has gone and taken off with this other woman.” After a moment her voice steadied. and she continued: “My car is waiting down here now and I am going right out to Curtiss Field and see if I cannot take off at once. Capt. Boutillier will fiy with me.” She found the Columbia being locked up in her hangar, however. Mechanics estimate it would take two days to get the plane into shape for an ocean flight. Miss Boll made several attempts to fly back from Europe last Summer, and after the successful flight of herself, Levine and Stultz to Havana last Winter she announced she had hired Stultz to fly with her to Europe this Summer. Thea Rasche, the German woman fiyer who is planning an ocean flight with Germany as her goal, spent the | day stunting her new sport biplane over | Curtiss Field. Mrs. James A. Stiliman, wife of the retired banker, who recently returned from Europe and announced she was starting a magazine, was one of her passengers. Miss Rasche’s new Bellanca plane, which she plans to use on her ocean flight, has not been delivered yet, but she expects to have it before the end of ;Xhe week. She said she hoped to take off on the ocean attempt before the first | of July. TARDYEU CONFIDENT " OF STABILIZATION ;_ French Minister Says Govern- ment Has Won Monetary | Battle. Miss Mabel Boll. s0bs By the Associated Press. PARIS, June 4—Stabilization of the French franc “before long” was strong- ly indicated by André# Tardieu. minister of public works, in a speech at Bel- fort_last night. “The monetary battle is won.” said M. Tardieu. “and now it will be for the government before long to give this | problem a proper solution.” | _ Whether “before long” means & few | weeks or several months, however. still | puzzles the financial world. Doubtless it was intended to leave the time ele- | ment in the dark, for Premier Poin- | care is studiously avoiding indicating | the probable date of stabilization. ! Nervousness over the stabilization | situation is believed in financial circles | to account for a slight slipping of the {ranc in the international money mar- ket today. After being held at 124.02 francs to the pound for many weeks by the willingness of the Bank of France to buy and sell any amount of exchange | at that figure, the franc slumped a few centimes to 124.20. The drop acted as an incentive to brokers on the Stock Exchange and mast | stocks advanced buoyantly duritg the | trading session. Appointed to Fellowship. Special Dispatch ta The Star.
