In reporting out the War Department annual supply bill yesterday the Senate Appropriations Committee once more went on record in favor of making a start this year on a program of salary promotions for Government employes in under-average cases. Following the policy it has observed cn all the other departmental supply bills thus far, the committee added to the War Department measure $267,710 for salary increases, in accordance with the budget recommendation for a three-year program of adjustments in under-average grades. The House has omitted these salary increases from the several supply bills considered up to this time. Late yesterday Cramton, in announc- ing plans for the hearings, said they would be closed and that Secretary Hyde and Col. Arthur Woods of the Hoover Employment Commission would be called. He expressed the hope that th~ hearings would be completed by the end of the week. Meanwhile, there has been no final settlement of the issue between the two branches of Congress over the salary question. The decision is to be made on the Treasury-Post Office bill. What- ever is done with the increases in that bill is expected to be followed in the other bills. ‘The Senate Committee also added to the War Department bill yesterday a provision making $12,000 available to reimburse the Gray Ladies of the Red Cross for expenditures already made in connection with the construction of the nonsectarian chapel at Walter Reed Hospital in this city. The Senate may take up the War Department bill tomorrow.

DOAK ADDRESSES FLI REVIWERS Declares Mechanical Dis- placement of Laborers Af- fecting Social Conditions. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, January 24.—William M. Doak, Secretary of Labor, address. ing the annual conference of the Na tional Board of Reviews of Motion Pictures today, said the Nation's social advancement would feel the influence of the disturbed economic situation. “The displacement of workers through the changing methods of mass produc- tion, and many other complexities,” he said, ‘“‘are having marked effect upon our economic and social condi- tion just at this time. This, notwith- standing the fact that in reality all these innovations, the result of our native genius, are but evidences of our rapidly advancing civilization.” Secretary Doak asserted that even in the motion picture field, displacements of men because of sound music inven- tions are requiring earnest attention. “These mechanical inventions and novelties are really signs of tremendous progress,” he said, “and I certainly do not believe in putting anything in the way of progress. do, however, be- licve that the responsibility is on all the peosfle to keep wage earners stead- ily employed at liberal wages.” A resolution was adopted affirming the board's “unylelding opposition to l;tg‘"le censorship, both Federal and FRENCH UAGE Profs. from Paris: conversational method; 1832, E JARDIN rapid progress. 908 14th n.w..
