By the Associated Press. The controversy over the tobacco tariff flared up again in the Senate to- day with a move by Senator Bingham, Republican, Connecticut, to reconsider a previous action which eliminated an increase of 40 cents a pound in' the rate on wrapped tobacco. This in- crease was carried in the House bill. Senator Bingham said last Summer’s storm destro; a large part of the to- bacco crop the Connecticut Valley, resulting in a loss to the farmers of that section of $4,000,000. “These farmers feel,” the Connecti- cut Senator said, “that the House in- crease will restore their business.” Wrapper tobacco growers in Georgia and Florida also would be aided by the raise in duty, he added. Opposing the increase, Senator Sim- mons, Democrat, North Carolina, said domestic wrapper tobacco did not com- te with the imported wrapper, which | e described as of a higher grade. | Cotton Duty Reaffirmed. { Late in the day yesterday the Senate | reaffirmed, 44 to 32, its previous ap- proval of a duty of 7 cents a pound on long staple cotton, and going into the night session sustained its previous in- creases in the tariff on wool rags and wool waste. The old coalition was successful, by & | margin of three votes, in defeating an | amendment to make mixed cotton goods containing 15 per cent or more of wool by weight dutiable at the higher wool rates. After extensive debate the minimum duty on rayon yarns was reduced from 45 to 40 cents a pound. The figure agreed upon, however, is an increase over the present tariff of 45 per cent ad valorem. ‘The 40-cent rate was a compromise between 45 and 38 cents. The latter was proposed by Senator George, Demo- crat, Georgia, but was rejected, 38 to 30. Extensive debate preceded the final roll | U calls on this duty, one of the most im- portant textile tariffs in the bill. Glass Proposes Compromise. t, t the 38-cent minimum, the compromise. Barkley contended that under the &:um duties rayon manufacturers of United States had prospered, and that improvements in production meth- d imports had caused what- by domestic manufacturers, in the foreign-controlled plants in Ten- he said workers were strik- the manufacturers were paying “reasgn- able wages,” and denied the 45-cent minimum rate would increase costs to the consumer. ‘Two other actions last night cut the rate ondpdrn-w !:bc from 4 r& 1 e?m & pound, as against three-quarters of a cent now in effect, and increased the in rolls for from 5 to 10 per cent ad valorem.

Public Heaith Service and Coast and Geodetic Survey. The nmext article will appear tomorrow. BY DONALD A. CRAIG. When the joint Congressional pay committee setties down soon to the real job of revising the pay schedules of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard. Public Health Service and Coast and Geodetic Survey it will want to know from concrete examples how the present, pay act works in practice and what may be expected to result from the recommendations of the Interde- partmental Pay Board, if they should be adopted. This has been made plain in interviews with members of the joint committee. ‘The five Senators and five Represen~ tatives who comprise the committee have heard from the heads of the vari- ous services that “unrest and discon- tent” exists because of the “pay situ- ation.” Most of the committee mem- bers believe that there are inequalities and irregularities in the present law that often work in unexpected ways and frequently result in discriminations. “Want Something Done.” While not yet ready to commit them- selves regarding details, or upon the general question of > pay increase, most of those with whom the representative of The Star has talked at the Capitol— both members of the joint pay commit- tee and of the Military and Naval com- mittees of the House and Senate—think that “something should be done about the pay sitaution.” But members of the joint committee, who are directly charged with the re- sponsibility of investigating the subject and reporting “by bill or otherwise” the House and Sepate the result of their inquiry, realize that they are tack- ling a “very complicated problem.” ‘Those who have been interviewed say they are approaching it with open minds and will endeavor to get light of them have observed differences of opinion among the officers themselves will regard to the best way to correct some of the inequalities in the present law and they intend to get facts from many sources before passing judgment upon the recommendations of the In- rtmental Pay Board. Before the service pay situation is ted here from the Congressional ities are considered, some of the per- sonal problems that are actually being faced today by men in the several serv- ices will be sketched briefly, along with a few more of the numerous facts, not hitherto mentioned, that relate to the subject. Salaries Held Inadequate. The salaries which the Government pays the medical officers of the Public Health Service are not large enough to keep many of these men long in the service. Of the total of 44 successful candidates their entrance examinations into the Public Health Service from July 1, 1928, to the pres- ent time, 27 have left the service. ‘The average tions from all grades in the Public Health Service during the four years prior to the bonus act of 1920 was 3.79 per cent. During the years in which the bonus act was effective coincident with have been 5 and 5.5 respectively. The resignations are principally con- fined to the lower grades. Officers highly trained in special fields of public health are being called to the larger universities. For example, Public Health Service officers in the middle les have left the service to ull professorships in such uni- as John Hopkins and Harvard at salaries exceeding the compensation LOS ANGELES March 14.—Mrs. May Otis was the money from Dabney on ntations that angels were in writing & book which reveal the location of vast min- eral deposits on the earth.

INDEPENDENCE, Kans, March 14 (A).—The Commercial National Bank of Independence, one of the largest banks in Kansas, was closed today, fol- lowing action by its board of directors. L. K. Roberts, chief national bank ex- aminer for the district, said the closing resulted from losses occasioned by de- falcations by the bank's dent, George T. Guernsey, sr., and from bad the highest grade in the Public Health Service, Efl to assume the directorship of the research activities of one of the large foundations and who now receives ap- proximately $12,000 & year. A director of the hygienic laboratory of the Pub- lic Health Service resigned to take charge of a commercial laboratory where he received at least four times the compensation he recelved from the Government for similar work. Out of Debt Twice in 10 Years. “During the last 10 years,” writes an officer of the Army, “I have been out of debt twice—once when my State paid me a substantial war bonus and_again when, as a member of the United States delegation in the Tacno Arica arbitration, I received extra compensa- | tion. For the first time in nine years | I am buying an automobile. The hu- | miliation of depending upon others for what me a practical necessity P ing, the past - 3 past nine rs I hav not entertained because yxueould no: afford to. This is to the detriment of my record, since it establishes a rep-‘ utation for aloofness. 1 have never made a change of station in which | some of my furniture or property was | not broken or damaged. I have never lived In any two sets of quarters so nearly alike that the draperies and cur':ms purchased for one would fit the next.” Another typical letter is from an offi- cer who says one of the heaviest bur- assets.

Some |y Y | troubles of many officers and know that ASK AWAITS Problem With Open standard of }iving required of him which is beyond his means.” “‘Unless something, such as saving for the education of his children, is greatly reduced or done without,” he continues, “the present system of sending an offi- cer on civilian detalls, so often requiring large expenditures for the upkeep of two separate wardrobes, one civilian and the | other military, completely swamps an officer. On my last civilian detail at | Harvard University I was forced to into my pay to the extent of about $20 per month because the rental allowance | was not enough. Consequently saving, | Amusement, recreation, education, etc., | had to go by the board.” | Another Army officer calls attention | to the fact “that as a result of the Welsh bill, increasing the civilian em- ployes of the Government, the pay of the Army is distinctly out of line.” Assistants Get More Than Chiefs. “For example,” he says, “in the Dis- trict Building at Washington, D. C., the officer assistants to the Engineer Com- missioner are getting $5,600 and $4,200, being the pay as majors or captains in the Army. The assistants of these offi- cers, that is, the men under them, were getting before the Welsh bill as high as $6,000 and now are getting more. The work done by these officers, though im- portant, is not much more so than being done by other majors in the Army.” “I resigned a position in civil life” writes another officer, “which was pay- ing me $300 a month with reasonable prospects of advancement, so I was not one of those who are alleged to have been ‘starving’ when they entered the Army. My pay, including ration allow- ance, is today, eight years later, $266, | Which is an apparent raise of $6 in the time I have been in the Army. But as | & matter of fact, my pay of $260 as a | captain when I entered the service was it was not until last July that I received the pay I expected when I accepted my commission.” A chief pay clerk in the Navy writes that he has had many opportunities of discussing the pay situatjon with officers and that he became especially interested | the cases of two second lieutenants who were serving in Pearl Harbor, Hawali, when he was there. One was a young graduate of the Naval Academy. “This young man had to into debt for the purchase of his uniforms,” says the chief pay clerk, “and also for his equipment, something to the tune of $600. Shortly after graduation he mar- ried and later when a baby was born h ‘went further into debt. Then it became necessary for his wife to unde an op- eration which placed him still further arrived at Honolulu he informed me his debts amounted to $2,200, and that, try as he could by living in the plainest style, he could not manage to reduce the amount to any great extent. Once he told me that Christmas did not mean anything to him, because he ‘hadn’t a cent’ to buy his wife and baby a present. T helped him to get & loan on his Gov- ernment insurance from the Veterans' Bureau and the money arrived just two days before Christmas.” Wife Forced to Work. ‘This chief pay clerk tells of a young second lieutenant in the Marine Corps whom he knew at Honolulu and whose wife went to work in a store in Hono- lulu to help her husband get out of debt. “In my capacity as chief pay clerk I have listened time and time ,” he ites, “to the worries and money it ther pay was increased it would re- lieve the continued strain under which they are at present living.” ‘Hundreds of letters similar to this are being received at the War, Navy, Com- merce and Treasury Departments from officers in the six services included in the joint service pay act. ‘Why the young child lies on the floor and kicks his heels, among other things, will occupy the Chicago Association for Child Study during a three-day ses- sion devoted to emo research.
