“WHITE HOUSE FUND ITEMS ARE ADDED Bill Passed by Senate Gives Three Secretaries to Presi- dent—$10,000 Salaries. By the Associated Press, The White House was the big gainer yesterday in the Senate additions to an appropriations bill carrying funds for | independent offices of the Government, | but not until the Democrats had taken the opportunity of chiding administra- tion Senators “about this departure from traditional policies of economy.” The bill, which passed the Senate with a total figure of $541499,176, carried $10,000 salaries for three private secre- | taries to the President, an addition of | $50.000 for the fund to improve the | White House grounds and $5.000 for an oil portrait of President Coolidge, to be hung along with those of other Chief Executives after he leaves office. ‘The proposal to add $10,000 salaries for two additional White House secre- taries was subjected to some meticulous questioning on the part of Democrats as to hte need for “this extravagance.” Senator McKellar, Democrat, Tennes- see, declared he could not understand | why the incoming President ‘“needs three secretaries just for the purpose of creating a place for somebody.” Senator Smoot, Republican, Utah, ex- plained that the secretaries were to be established in name under Mr. Hoover, whereas some of the secretarial staff of Mr, Coolidge has not been so desig- nated. The principal item in the appropria- tions bill was $499,975,000 for the Vet- erans’ Bureau. COAST GUARD DRIVE PLAN ADVANCED Recommendations for Five-Year Program Directed Against Smugglers Made. By the Assoclated Press. Recommendations for a five-year program to permit the Coast Guard to | increase its activities against ]lquor smugglers and its other services were placed before Secretary Mellon today by i Admiral F. C. Billard, commandant of the Guard. Admiral Billard advocated increase of the commissioned personnel by 200 offi- cers, replacement of obsolete and worn- out vessels and transfer of approxi- mately 26 destroyers now used by the Navy to the Coast Guard patrol. This, he said, would permit the retirement of old Coast Guard destroyers, which are costly to operate. The admiral took the view that an increase in the enlisted personnel was not needed at this time. Addition of commissioned officers, it was said, would | permit many veterans now serving in Junior ranks to be advanced, thus at- tracting men to the service and giving them more of the standing enjoyed by Army and Navy officers. Another recommendation was that funds be made available to construct new cutters and tugs to replace similar vessels now obsolete. He said also that the forces maintained at the principal seaports to inspect baggage were in- sufficient, The recommendations will be studied by Undersecretary Mills and then sub- mitted to the Budget Bureau. A second report is expected in a few days from Commissioner Camp of the Customs Service. Secretary Mellon recently in- structed the heads of the prohibition, customs ‘and Coast Guard services for a written survey of conditions in each branch as it pertained to the enforce- ment of the Volstead act.

Steel for an Pavements. | To withstand the extra wear caused | by automobiles, pavements which are to be laid in Paris will have a steel trellis. The new method will be to lay a coat of asphalt on top of a 6-inch concrete | foundation and in the asphalt place the framework of steel wires, which will be 5 inches apart, It is claimed that | heavy loads will thus be supported by | the steel as well as the asphalt, | | M i ‘The 'lm!-rmr Department says Alaska | is becoming recognized as second only to Africa as a “paradise” for big game ' bunters, e THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1T, 1929. ; L —_— e ==No Interest or Extras Added to Our Budgcl Plan—We Do Not Penalize Our Friend: Direct Entrances —to the Men’s Clothing Department from K Street d S !h Street. ——-————-—-——-——-——_————_—._ .
