By the Associated Press. Chairman Mead of the House Post ‘omce Committee today asked Assistant | Postmaster General Glover to draw up a bill covering complaints against air- | mail contract awards. Mead said the controller general, members of the Appropriations Com- mittee and of the House joined him in a belief that airmail rates should be reduced further and the whole system placed in “a more healthy condition.” The Post Office chairman particu- larly asked Glover to deal with the criticism against ‘“extensions larger than the original award.” Mead pointed out that when the Watres bill was passed there had been a minority Teport and also opposition from the Appropriations Committee | which had resulted in a clause to safe- | guard the principle of competitive bid- | ding rather than giving the Postmaster | General discretionary powers on mak- ; ing awards. Glover Opposes Proposal. Glover was testifying on legislation | to cancel airmail contracts awarded without public competitive bidding. Glover opposed it on the ground it would be “a serious blow to the airmail business. “If you want mail in this country car- | ried in an open-cockpit ship by a young man sitting on parachute,” he told the committee, “you may be able to | have it done for less. Otherwise I do | not see how the mail can be flown at much less than at the present time.” Cancellation of contracts to provide for competitive bidding has been advo- cated by independent operators who ob- jected to discretion given to the Post- master General to extend routes with- out advertising. A bill to that end has been introduced by Representative Mead, Democrat, New York. Another Bill Also Weighed. Another bill to reduce prevailing air- mail rates and shorten the life of route certificates also was taken under con- sideration. Glover said Postmaster General Brown had always been “very plain and outspoken” and had shown in tes- timony preceding the passage of the Watres act the danger of having “a | 1ot of shoestring routes” as a result of competitive advertising. Asked if the Post Office Department had ever favored one company over an- other, Glover said: “The Post Office De- “partfient has never played a favorite in its life.” DEMOCRAT:S TO MEET Speaker Garner today called a meet- ing of the Democratic Senate and House Joint Policy Committee for to- morrow, at the request of Senator | Robinson, of Arkansas, Democratic floor | leader.

C., TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1932, Husband’s Refusal To Fill in at Bridge Causes Divorce Suit By the Associated Press LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March 1.—A husband's refusal to make a fourth at bridge has been ad- vanced as one of the reasons for & divorce suit. Mrs. Anthony W. Fly charged her husband, among other things, with rudeness, contempt, abuse and studied neglect. A deposi- tion by Mrs. J. C. Jennings, who knew the couple in New Orleans, was offered in support of the di- vorce petition.

OPPOSITION VOICED Representative Cox Says Proposed Law Would Hit Newspapers. By the Assoclated Press. . The view that the fixing by manu- facturers of the prices for which brand- articles may be sqld at retail would a serlous blow to newspaper adver- | tising was expressed today to a Senate | committee by Representative Cox, Dem- ocrat, of Georgia. Voicing his opposition before-the In terstate Commerce Committee to a bill | pending which would legalize this, Cox [ asked “With the enactme tion and with all to become of the pers are n ad t of this legisla- s fixed, what's s the newspa- hi uld be no incentive for 0 go to the newspaper and se the public | | the retailer | advertise his wares bes would know would be boug | matter w Sena there we outside of ed.” Ohio, said in advertising price, but Cox r of BUY FROM THIS DISPLAY ON YOUR DEALER’S COUNTER 10 PREEFONG insisted “the real appeal is in the price.” Opposition of the American Farm | Bureau Federation to the legislation | was expressed by its Washington rep- | resentative, Chester Gray. He said its position was based largely | on the belief it would increase prices. This consideration is of particular | | importance to the farmer under present economic conditions, when he is “having difficulty in getting the necessities of !life,” Gray added. TWO STATES TO FIGHT DIVERSION OF RIVER Nebraska and Wyoming Officials Due Here to Protest Colorado Project on North Platte. By the Associated Press | LINCOLN, Nebr., March 1.—Nebraska | and Wyoming State officials agreed yes- | terday to protest at Washington against | a proposal by Colorado to divert head- aters of the North Platte River. | At the direction of Gov. Bryan, R. H. Willis of Bridgeport, Nebraska, irriga- | tion commissioner, will go to Washing- | ton with State Engineer Whiting of Wyoming, where they will appear be- | fore reclamation officials in opposition to the Waterman bill providing for the | | diversion of 200,000-acre feet of water. | The proposal would send the water | into the Cache La Poudre River through | a collecting canal and a tunnel under the mountains. Wyoming and Nebrasia irrigators and officials conferred Saturday at Cheyenne with Gov. M. Clark. Plans were | made to oppose the bill introduced by | Senator Waterman of Colorado. | | N NEW PAY CUT BILL OFFERED N HOUSE Hoch Measure Would Affect Salaries $2,000 and Up on Graduated Scale. *A new proposal to slash the salaries of Government employes—the sixth measure of this kind to be introduced in the present session—with provisicns for cutting the salaries from $2,000 up on a graduated scale of 10 to 25 per cent, was submitted in the House late vesterday by Representative Homer Hoch, Republican, of Kansas His bill calls for a reduction of 10 per cent on all salaries from $2,000 to 3,000, 15 per cent on all salaries from 000 to $4,000, 20 per cent on all salaries from $4.000 to $5000 and 25 per_cent on all salariees above $5,000. | This new proposal comes at a time when the friends in Congress of the! Government employes, and who have | protested vigorously against any salary | slashing, had been led to believe that the salary-hacking campaign had ended | and that the entire program had been referred by Congress to a special economy_committee. | The Hoch bill was referred to the House Committee on Expenditures, cf | which Representative John J. Cochran | of Missouri is chairman. This commit- tee previously tabled four other bills measures would actually result in some calling for Federal pay roll slashing, | people raceiving more salary than others while the fifth bill of that character is | who now get higher salaries tham being smothered to death in Senator | they do.” Brookhart's Civil Service Subcommittce. | This means that an employe receiv Mr. Hoch claims that his bill avoids |ing $5400 would be reduced $100. or the criticism made against the other | the same as the $3,000 worker. Those pay-cut bills that they bore too heavily | 1eceiving $5,600 would be cut $150, the on the Government workers receiving |same amount as those whose salaries low salaries and would not yield a sav- | are $4,000. The reduction of $200 in ing that would offset the great hardship | salaries of $5,800 would be the same and suffering that would be caused by |as that in stipends of $5,000. reducing already inadequate salaries. - “This bill,” said Mr. Hoch, “is not only fair, but avoids the inconsistent | results that would follow from some of the other reduction bills. Some of those Darwin. storm center of so much con- troversy for years, was himself one of the gentlest and least pugnacious ef scientists.
