ATTAGKS SALARES OF GO0 HEAS Ludlow Suggests $15,000 Limit—Stone Thinks This Would Hurt Movement. Controversy raged today between Chairman Stone of the Federal Farm Board and Representative TLudlow, Democrat, of Indiana, over the salaries paid officials of agricultural co-opera- tive organizations. The dispute broke out when Ludlow, citing salaries of E. F. Creekmore, viee president and general manager of the American Cotton Co-operative Associa- tion, and others, asked whether Stone | thought it might be wise for Congress | to e & limit of $15,000 en the pay of men working for co-operatives. Stone replied “My best judgment is that such legis- lation would work irreparable harm to the co-operative movement and I am, therefore, against it. Says Competent Men Are Needed. “For co-operative marketing to suc- ceed, the thing most needed is com- petent and honest management. The only. way a co-operative can get such manggement is by paying salaries comparable to those offered by private busifiess institutions engaged in the samé line and handling a comparable volume of the product.” Ludlow hit back: “The fact remains that these padded payrolls with salaries ranging from $20,000 to §75,000 & year are an out- rageous imposition on the farmers who have to bear the burden and the tax- payers in general, antd no amount of explanation can erase that fact.” Graduated Pay Cuts Asked. Meanwhile a bill for graduated cuts of Federal salaries, similar to the work- ings of the income tax law, was intro- ducefl by Representative Hoch, Repub- lican, Kansas. “The reductions proposed would an\y affedt that gsn of the salary, lan small, whic] above $2,000," ov.h explained “That part of the salary between $2,000 and $3,000 would take a 10 per cent cut; that part between $3,000 and $4.000 a 15 per cent cut; that part between $4,000 and $5,000 a 20 per cent cut, and that part above $5,000 a 25 per cent cut.” He pronounced salary curtailment a f a necessary retrenchment pro- and said “Government officials and -employlx both civil d military, should be ling to contribute their sharé,” even st the cost of sacrifice and hardship. part — GRANT GIVEN THANKS Washingtcn Birthday Oelebrations &xbj-ce of Havenner Letter.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. (., TUESDAY, BANKHEAD-USTER IN SENATE SOUGHT Hastings Probe Report Due Before Subcommittee - .. This.Friday, By the Associated Press. Senator Hastings of Delaware will seek to unseat Alabama’s junior Sena- tor, John H. Bankhead, on the ground that the election in which he defeated the veteran.J. Thomas Heflin involved widespread' violations. As chairman of.the elections subcom- mittee, which for months has been in- vestigating the 1930 contest, Hastings is completing a final report which wiil recommend for declaring it no election. Presentation Due Friday. He expects to submit it to the group Friday. Before the report can reach the Senate for final decision both the subcommittee and the full committee must approve it.

Bankhead so far has been silent about the new development. Heflin said he did not see how Hastings could recommend otherwise. Ruled Out of Primary. “I said at the outset that the least ‘the Senate could do was declare the seat. vacant. Heflin's dclel! came after he was ruled out of the Democratic primary of 1930 for stumping egainst the party’s 1928 presidential nominee, Alfred E _Smith. He made his race as an inde- “pendent. under lhe label of sonian Democrat,” Bankhead bei regular party nominee. The official count .handed Heflin a 50,000-vote defeat.
