' HOUSE IS IN FAVR | OF HALF HOLIDAYS, Votes to Retain Present Status and Pay Federal Workers for Time. (Continued From Pirst Page.) Chairman Cochran of the Expendi- tures Committees, have figured out a modification of their own for the Pres- ident’s furlough plan which they will have ready in case there is danger that the furlough plan will be substituted for the McDuffie plan with the $2,500 exemption. Half Holidays to Come Up. ‘This opposition modification of the furlough pian would accept the com- pulsory 30-day furlough, but provides for pay during half of that period. It was estimated that the full furlough plan would yield $82,000,000 saving and the opposition forces are proposing to cut that in half if there is danger that the amended McDuffie plan, which now calls for an estimated saving of $12,- 000,000, is superseded by the President’s furlough scheme. Under the $2,500 exemption, accepted last night as an amendment on the Mc- Duffie plan, members of Congress will Teceive a cut of only $825 instead of $990 as originally proposed in the Mc- Duffie plan and $1,000 as proposed if the President's plan is accepted House Again in Revolt. Goaded to rebellion, the House re- fused to be “gagged” yesterday, threw | the omnibus economy bill wide open to amendment and started in vigorously in the night session to tear to pieces the bill which various members had called “cruel” “filled with hysteria, hypocrisy and hokum"; * , everyday embezzlement from weak people,” and “the height of idiocy.” In a second notable revolt from its party leadership, a coalition of the majority of both Democrats and Re- publicans, breaking party bonds, ac- cepted an amendment from the floor boosting the exemption for all Federal ‘workers from any salary slash from $1,000, as proposed in the bill, to $2,500, as offered in a substitution by Repre- sentative Britten, Republican, of Illinois. ‘This would exempt from any pay cut some 70 per cent of the employes and would reduce the estimated saving under the bill some $55,000,000. The vote was 173 to 148. The unbridled House, with the bit in its teeth, started off on another charge to knock another $9,000,000 out of the bill on motion of Representative McCor- mack of Massachusetts by eliminating the proposed abolition of Saturday half holidays, when the harried leaders in panic forced an adjournment. Cannon Tears Off Gag. It was Representative Cannon, Demo- erat, of , former parliamen- tarian of the House, who found the way to tear the gag off the special rule. The motion made by Representative Cannon to strike out the restrictions on the number of amendments to be of- fered was approved overwhelmingly without a record vote. Speaker Garner had ruled the unusual motion of the Missouri Democrat in order, despite nu- merous protests. Finally a liberalized rule of procedure was adopted, with 100 Republicans and 119’ Democrats voting for it, for a total | of 219, while 75 Republicans, 88 Demo- crats and 1 Farmer-Labor, a total of 164, voted no. It was agreed that there should be two hours of general debate followed by consideration of amendments and that the measure be attached to the $20- 000,000 legislative supply bill carrying funds for the salaries of members of Congress. Chairman McDuffie of the Economy fnommlttee opened general debate, say- g: “I doubt if there is anything so diffi- cult to undertake as to withdraw the strong arm of the Federal Treasury which in the last dozen years has stretched out in so many directions. ““The people have, if you please. be- come used to the beneficence of Uncle Sam, whose expenditures have mounted $1,000,000.000 in the past 10 years. ‘The country is demanding economy and we must effect it.” Against Military Merger. Two of the most important con- troverted items are the proposals to consolidate the Army and Navy and reduce benefits to World War veterans The Republicans will throw their full weight against the military merger| proposition. It is opposed by the ad- | ministration. Veterans' organizations are pounding the members with protests against pro- posals, estimated to save about $49.- 000,000, through revision of laws per- taining to allowances, pensions and hospitalization. The fight against the wage cut was opened by Representative O'Connor, Democrat, of New York, who proposed the exemption of $1.000 be increased to $2,000. Immediately thereafter Repre- sentative Britten, Republican, of Iili- nols, made a_substitute motton to in-| crease it to $2,500. After about two hours of heated de-| bate in which Representative Warren | of North Carolina, Democrat, presiding, rapped time and again for order and| cautioned the crowded galleries against | persistent demonstrations, Representa- tive Dyer, Republican, of Missouri, forced a vote. Coalition Renews Attack. Confident of success and with the | party leaders helpless to combat them, | the coalition leaders renewed their at- tacks on the bill with increased vigor. Representative McCormack, Demo- | crat, of Massachusetts, moved to strike out the provisions eliminating the Sat- urday half holiday for all Pederal workers, estimated to save $9,000.000. Although appeals were made by Chairman McDuffie and Representative Wood of Indiana, Republican member ! of the Economy Committee. to retain | the provision, the House appeared ready | to eliminate it | Again Representative Dyer sought to force a showdown. McDuffi= leaped to | his feet and demanded the House age | Journ With hats and coats already in hand the membership arose and left the| chamber without waiting for further| formality, | DENTAL SERVICE FREE Members of D.

COL C. A. SEOANE. MERRIFIELD, Va. April 25.—One of the residents of Fairfax County to re- ceive the Order of the Purple Heart, the order initiated by George Wesh. ington for those members of the Con tinental Army who distinguished them- selves by brave acts, is Col. C. A Seoane of Merrifield. This order passed into cblivion with the disbanding of the Continental Army. Recently it was revived by order of President Hoov Last week the War Department pre- sented the medal of the order to Col. Secane for heroic service under fire. As a lieutenant in the 3d Cavalry, Col. Seoane was wounded in the battle of Santiago, Cuba, July 2. 1898. Presenta- tion was made in Baltimore, Md., where Col. Secane is stationed as chief signal officer of the 3d Army Corps. 5 NEW TARIFF BILL SENT T0 HOOVER Is Democratic ~ Measure Passed by House—Veto Expected by G. 0. P. By the Assoclated Press. The Democratic tariff bill, restoring to Congress all power to alter import duties was finally padsed and sent to the President today by the House. The vote on final passage was 202 to 171. The House agreed to Senate amend- ments to the measure after an hour of debate in which the Republicans as- sailed the bill as without merit and pre- dicted it would be vetoed by President Hoover. They charged the Democrats applied the “gag rule” to obtain passage. Representative Treadway, Republican, of Massachusetts, told the Democrats, “The bill is without merit and after the Chicago political conventions we'll take it up with you.” “Itll be dead when it reaches the te House at the other end of Penn- " Treadway sy sai d. Acting Chairman Crisp of the Ways and Means Committee said the bill would lead the way to lessening the tariff barriers of the world and would restore to Congress the right to fix 1ates on_imports. Representative Crowther, Republican, of New York, said the bill was “a gray j prevail, tombstone in the Democratic graveyard of hopes.” I Representative Ragon, Democrat, of | Arkansas, declared that “the Republicans | say they have a bulwalk in the White | House against this bill; they should | have had one against the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill. Where is all that prosperity hat bill was going to bring this coun- try?” THAMES WILL HAVE A REAL SHOWBOAT Paddle Steamer That Rammed a Submarine in War Being Overhauled.

Instead of being on the Mississippi, however, it will float luxuriously down the Trames on Sum- mer evenings i The steamship Alexandra, a paddle steamer which rammed a German sub- marne during the war, is being trans- formed into a floating restaurant, com- plete with cabaret, orchestra and | dancing, and it will ply twice nightly | during the Summer months between | Westminster Pier and Galleons Reach, beyond Woolwich. The first trip wall tart about 8:30, with dinner on board, and the second will be an after-th, theater supper affair ending at 2 a.m. Afternoon tea-dance trips also may be run.

THE EVENING SLASH PROBLEMS WORRY TREASURY Officials Study How to Make Ends Meet If Further Cuts Are Made. Faced with the prospects of having to dismiss 1,200 employes in this city and 4,800 more in the field if the proposed 10 per cent cut ordered by the S!na(a; is enforced on the Treasury Depart- | ment appropriation bill, officials of that | department are still studying the possi- bility of saving the jobs of these faith- 1| ful Government workers through fur- loughs or some curtailments in the public building program The Treasury Department appropria- tion bill now rests in the hands of the Senate subcommittee in charge of the measure, and alreacy has been whittled down from its inal estimate of $320,000,000, submitted to Secretary of the Treasury Mills, to only $254,000,000, a slice of $66,000,000 from the begin- ing. ‘This is exclusive of the public debt and sinking fund. Now the Senate, through a resolution, proposes to cut off a flat 10 per cent more of this measure, while the House Economy Committee, on the other end of the Capitol. is whittling away at fur- ther savings through the economy bill, including the proposed 11 per cent flat pay cut Meantime the Senate subcommittee, however, appears to be in no great rush to dispose of the Treasury bill, and every day that action is postponed while the House economy measure is uncer consideration gives hope to employes of the Treasury that some way may be found to prevent wholesale dismissals. Mills Opposes Dismissals. Secretary of the Treasury Mills is on record as opposing in the most vigorous terms the dismissal of Government workers in these times of depression. In a recent letter to Senator Oddie, chairman of the committee, Mills went valiantly to the defense of the “6,000 men and women whose services arg needed, who have, generally speaking, decided to devote their lives to the public service, and who would in times when it is impossible to find another job ba turned out on the street by the Government of the United State: Mills proposes instead that Congress authorize the executive department to put into effect the Government fur- lough program propoced by the Presi- dent, in order that the saving may be effected by the furlough, evenly dis- tributed through the whole personnel, instead of a drastic dismissal of 6,000 employes. “The furlough plan is of itself & sound measure of economy,’ declared “If the flat cut method is to the furlough is essential to mitigate the hardships incident to this program. Legislation is clearly neces- sary if the furlough without pay is to apply, for I have grave doubts as to whether, without congressional sanc- tion, the executive could legally and properly effect what would be a modifi- tion of the salaries proviced for by the Congress in the classification act.” ‘The Treasury Department, with its 60,000 employes, inciuding about 12,000 here in Washington, constitutes the largest single group of Government workers in the National Capital. This department stands in a position pecu- liarly different from any of the other departments, as it is the financial sup- ply house for all the others, and it must collect virtually all the revenue with which to run the whole Govern- ment. | Big Collecting Job. With & new revenue bill pending, | designed to raise more than a_billion dollars’ additional taxes to help balance the budget, prospects are that this big job soon will be thrown upon the Treas- ury with such a load that the present organization will not be able to carry it In other words, those familiar with'the big job of collecting the revenues see that if the new revenue bill is to be efficiently administered to raise the new taxes it is likely that the parts of the Treasury doing this job will have to be increased instead of decreased This was indicated by Secretary Mills in his letter to Chairman Oddfe. He recommended that in view of the pend- ing revense bill the Internal Revenue Bureau be in any event excluded from the 10 per cent cut provision, though it should be included in any furlough provision. “We cannot enfor law and collect these taxe: “without increasing our for This Internal Revenue Bureau is next to the largest establishment in the Treasury Department, ranking in num- bers next to the Coast Guard, which is the largest. The Revenue Bureau has a total of 12,000 employe: The Coast Guard has, roughly, 13,000 employes, which would have to be cur- tailed if the 10 per cent cut went into effect without furlough. It would likely be necessary to furlough or dismiss from 1,000 to 1500 men of this service and probably lay up a large part of the rum fieet The Customs Bureau, which is third n size, contains about 10,000 employes | altogether, and, like the Internal Reve- | nue Bureau, is a collector of money for | the new | he said, the support of the Federal Government, A proposal to eliminate several ports in | the interior of the country was made by Secretary of the Treasury Mills to the committee, and since this list became public has drawn a steady stream of telegrams of protest from all the cities proposed for elimination &s & port Among the ports to be eliminated would be the Port of Georgetown and the Port of Alexandria. Some dismissals prob- ably would have to be made in the Cus- toms Bureau if the 10 per cent cut of the Senate is enforced. Nurses and Doctors. In the Public Health Service of 6,000 employes it probably would be necessary to lay off a number of Public Health nurses, doctors and internes needed in the care and treatment of patlents in| hospitals operated by the service. | ‘The Bureau of Engraving and Print- ing, with its 4500 employes, already is operating on & restricted kind of fur-| lough plan, which, it is estimated, might | be extended, since it has already been found workable. In two different directions, however, Treasury officials are still hoping to find means of preventing dismissals through curtailment of the public building program and extension of the furlough plan to the entire department, HOT-WATER HEATING PLANT g Price Complete for 6-Room House | $325 Special This price includes 17-in.

Under present legislation the Senate | has ordered by resolution that the public building program shall be ex- | empted from the 10 per cent reduction. As a matter of fact, however. the building program right here in Wash- ington already has been curtailed in the interest of economy. The first | afiected was the proposed remodeling of | the old State, War and Navy Building, at Seventeenth strect and Pennsylvania avenue. This was specifically " elimi- nated from appropriations by a provi- | sion of law preventing the expenditure | of money on it. Next came the so- called “Apex” building, at the point of the Federal Triangle. at Sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue, and the Mu- nicipal Center, These are specifically | eliminated for the present from new | construction, Movement to make still | further curtailment here is seen in the Senate resolution, still pending, which | would prevent erection of the rest of he Department of Agriculture Exten- sible Building along B street southwest, {and would postpone until further au- thority of Congress any destruction of th@ Post Office Department Bulldm& the old Southern Railway Building or the Municipal Building. | Demands From States, | With these savings already accom- plished in this city or in prospect, the Senate by resolution, however, so far has put a stop to cutting off of any Federal buildings in the field.

MARINES FIGHTING APPROPRIATION CUT Face Further Loss of 600 Men Through Joker in Naval Bill. The Marine Corps is conducting one of the biggest offensives of s career to keep the force from being slashed fur- | ther. It is now smaller than the police | department of New York City. Through | a joker in the naval appropriation bill, | officials asserted today. the Marine Corps. through a reduction in its ap- | propriations, faces a further loss of 600 enlisted men and 53 officers during the fiscal year, starting July 1. The officials pointed out the House | Appropriations Commlittee cut the Ma- rine Corps pay appropriation $383,911 | and that funds are provided for 53 fewer commissionied officers on the ac- tive list for 1933 than in 1932. Question Estimates. ‘The officials explained the committee estimates this cut will reduce necessary | y $217,805, and in arriving at this conclusion the annual average sal- ary of all officers was used as a basis of computation and there, the Marines say, the committee made an error mathe- | matically. The annual loss in officers from the service is about 40, but the Marines insisted that on an annual salary basis, | the vacancies will not amount to more than 20. By not filling vacancies in the | | lowest grades, the Marine Corps anti- | cipates a saving of about $60.000, but they view this comparatively small economy as a detriment to the morale of the organization, as the vacancies would be filled by Naval Academy grad- uates, as well as by meritorious non- commissioned officers, who look forward to obtaining commissioned rank. Fear Harm to Morale. Marine Corps authorities see no sav- | ing to the Government in the last analysis by not filling vacancies in the lowest grades of the Marine Corps, for, | they say, only the Marine Corps will suffer by the lack of infusion of new blood and the morale of the enlisted | men will suffer, because the cherished dream of a commission will no longer be possible of realization Officials asserted the measure cuts $100.000 arbitrarily from the pay of enlisted men, and the erroneous impres- sion exists that there is sufficient slack in the estimates of the pay of the Ma- rine Corps to absorb the combined cut of $257.805. Absorption of this $257,- 805 can be accomplished only by re- duction of 600 enlisted men, they said. MRS. LANGENBECK DIES Succumbs at St. Vincent's Hospital | at Norfolk.

CHICAGO, April 28—Ground was broken today for a group of buildings that will depict for the world fair vis- lmlrs of 1933 the life of Abraham Lin- coln. With brief ceremonies participated in by historians, Grand Army of the Re- fair, work was started on the group of reproductions which is expected to be completed by June 1. The group will depict the log cabin at Hodgenville, Ky, in which Lincoln was born: the boyhood home in what is now in which Lincoln clerked, and the famous “Wigwam.” the Chi- cago convention hall in which Lin- coln was nominated for the presidency in 1860. Inside the “Wigwam" will be copies of rooms in the Lincoln home at Springfield, Ill, and one or two of the rooms he occupied in the White House. A cerload of red clay is being brought from Hodgenville and logs from a cabin in Jersey City, Ill, so the birthplace models on the fairgrounds will be as near like the original as possible.
