They were drafted, he de-| clated, for the purpose of deliberately | hiding what the sections were intended | to do—to make plain who would be left in, but care! concealing those who would be thrown out of the bene- fits from Feder ures. ee themseclves were \ese provisions n t like calling for a diagno what should be done for a patien that patient had been killed Representative Connery, an Overseas veteran and outstanding leader in Con- gress for legislation to benefit former men, vigorously attacked the t of the veterans administration in declaring that he would su inkle amencment for & § of Congress to study er t 1 do not believe that veterans legis- is perfect,” sald Mr, Connery, not the time to cut down { through the disabled in a hurry.” Cites Inequalities, He quoted Representative Douglas, Democrat of Arizor a member of the omy Committee, as that this ion might mean his ovn defeat aid he hoped the vetera would & at as wa elected to continue work in in Cc In empha Yief.

Renresentative Schafer censured the DemMratic side for leadership in creating the Special Economy Commit- tee, because, he said. that very fact was an admission that the regular commit- tees of the House were incapable of handling these questions which should come directly within their jurisdiction. “But they must have blood,” he de- clared, “and so the disabled veterans are to be thrown upon the altar of so- called economy to save some 48 millions of dollars for the Treasury.” He explained specifically many injus- tices and inequalities which will result through such “half baked” legislative proposals affecting the sustenance of men who ered bodily injury or dis- ease as & result of their service ove sees. In an executive session of the Econ- omy Committee, Chairmén McDuffle announced that House Leader Rainey had issued orders that action on the bill must be completed today. Repre- senta Ramseyer (Republican of Jowa) said the Republican membership would go along with the Democratic Jeaders! in an effort to carry out this program Six Roll Calls Expected. ‘The House has several times rebelled #gainst an effort to hold them in ses- sion all day and all night. The House yesterday agreed to dispense with cal- endar Wednesday proceedings tomorrow to make way for the economy bill. It was then the plan to have the bill com- pleted today except for the final record vote, which would be taken tomorrow. How the House will act on the plan for ® night session tonight is problematical. In the executive session today, it was sgreed that two or three hours will be ailowed for general debate on the vet- erans’ dtems, and then the House will Proceed under the five-minute rule, At least six record roll call votes are expected and there will be two motions to recommit the bill to committee for revision. One of these will be made by Representative Ramseyer, who will pre- sent President Hoover's staggered fur- lough plan. Representative Ramseyer said today that in presenting this pro- v n will be made for a $1,500 exemp- tion. He realized that this amendment would have a much better chance for adoption if it carried a $2,000 exemp- tion, but he emphasized that would mean fewer people could be retained under a furlough system and that a| much larger number would have to be discharged. Will Ask Consolidation. Chairman Byrns of the Appropria- tions Committee will lead a fight to have restored to the bill the provision for consolidation of the Army and Navy Departments. Representative Martin of Oregon, a former major general and assistant chief of staff, will oppose this. The 1oll call vote will be on a motion to reject the amendment and to restore the original language of the unusu h binet members declined to discuss, however, w the administration would follow any altered course in its e ¥ v decisions ed at tr g President Hoover likewise remained silent, calling off his scheduled meet- ing with the press at noon on the ground that there was “no news.” Pension Bill Passed. The disposition of the House on vet- erans’ matters was well attested yes- terday afternoon in iis passage, 316 to 16, of a pension bill for widows and orphans of World War soldiers, a meas- ure that within five years is expected to be costing the Nation a round $100,- 000,000 annually.

By the Assoclated Press. | NEW YORK, May 3—The problem of every motorist, viz, how to ad- vance down & thoroughfare already jammed with vehicles, was solved te- day by young William Grossman. It is very simple—all one does 1s| to drive right down the sidewalk.| There is no vehicular traffic there, and whosoever is careless enough to be| afoot thereon has only himself to blame. | Of course, the idea is still compara- tively new. The public is not educated | to it yet. That explains why a police- man arrested him for reckless driving. cratic leadership facilitated the bill's passage The measure is opposed by the ad- ministration, and in its original form was estimated by Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, veterans' administrator, to cost $15,260,000 the first year and $161,134,- 000 within five years. It was brought up under strict rules of procedure. Speaker GArner recog- nized Chairman Rankin of the World War Veterans Committee for a motion to suspend the House rules and pass the bill. It required a two-thirds vote for approval, but the opposition was in- | significant. Representative Royal C. Johnson of | South Dakota, ranking Republican on |the Veterans Committee, opposed the | measure, declaring the Democratic lead- | ership presented the bill for passage in | lieu of the Gasque bill to equalize pen- |sions to all dependents of World War | veterans. o |~ “This bill is going to pass; I know it, Johnson, himself a World War veteran, |said. “This House does not have the apparatus to defeat bill like this.” | "Rankin said: “We are only doing for | the World War veterans’ widows and | orphans what this country has done for the dependents of veterans of other wars.” The measure provides a pension of $20 a month for s widow whose in- come, excluding her earnings from daily labor, does not exceed more than $250 a year; a pension of $26 a month for a widow with one child whose income, exclusive of her own earnings, does not exceed $400, with $6 additional for each | ehtid. Called Gen. Hines. The widow must have been married to the veteran for five years, or before Jenuary 1, 1925, and must show need. President Hoover exhibited immedi- | ate interest when informed the bill had been approved. He called Gen. Hines. Hines said he had merely “answered a couple of questions about the bill.” Secretary Mills conferred with the President about the same time as Hines but had no comment to make upon his visit to the White House. Just before that, the House enacted also one of its own economic idess, passing the Goldsborough bill ordering the Treasury and Reserve Board to {I: at MARINES CONTEST FCONOMY SLASHES Propose to Fight Reductions in Enlisted and Officer Personnel. Marine Corps, it was proposes to put up a vigorous fight to prevent a reduction in number of enlisted men by another 600 and to forestall the elimination of 53 officers and the provision that no fur- ther commissions be granted before June 1, 1933. It will attemps to add nearly half a million dollars to its items contained in the naval supply bill now pending in the Senate Appropria- tions Committee. The Marines will seek to alter the $3,602.277 ftem for pay and allowances of officers on the active list and boost it to $3766.211. They want the sub- sistence allowance changed from $493,- 116 to $516,731 and rental allowance shifted from $648,063 to $678,319. Un- der the category of pay for officers on the active list, they want the total written up from $4.743456 to $4,961,- 261 The Marines anticipate that if the present senior class at the Naval Acad- emy is to be graduated and commis- sioned, as contemplated by pending legislation, there will be at least 30 of these midshipmen commissioned in the Marine Corps.

There is a slash in the enlisted per- sonnel of the Marine Corps in prospect, bringing the figure down to 14,743.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Economy plans of the House Com- | mittee having gone awry, there is only one place where the budget is going to’ be cut, and that is in conference. | What the country has been witness- ing in the last few weeks Is an exhibi- tion of the difficulties of legislation In; the mass on questions that become dis- | tinetly local when they are submitted | to a vote. Just as a tariff bill goes laboriously | rough the House and Senate, being subjected to all kinds of local pressure, so the cconomy bill has been torn to shreds by a galaxy of roll calls and votes that prove the pressure from back home, especially from the organized groups, is just as powerful in Keeping items intact as it is often in getting new appropriations inserted. Whether using the gag rule or any | other parliamentary procedure, the House of Representatives is not able to develop the “national interest” on econ- es or taxes. The sales tax was n by local groups applying pres- e to Congress. Horizontal Slashes. The Senate is not much better off except that in the Upper House a ten- dency has developed to make horizontal | lashes in appropriation bills, which, in a sense. treats all interests alike and makes it difficult for any group to re- sist as readily, though the opposition to even there has only begun and will more and more intense as the approach the Conference Com- mittees Had -the original Hoover plan of a joint committee of both Houses and the xecutive departments been adopted, ngress at least would have been able to place the responsibility for the cuts| on that committee and public opinion | might have had a chance to rally be- | hind a well-defined plan of budget cut- ting But Congress would not listen to the | idea and adopted its own procedure.

CHANGES PLAN FOR FILLING J0BS Those Already Employed to Get First Chance at Higher Positions. The Civil Service Commission has just promulgated, upon the recommen- dation of the Council of Personnel Ad- ministration, regulations whereby those already empioyed by the Government will be given the first chance at higher positions in all occupations in the classi- fled service. One of the purposes of the Council of Perscmnel Administration, created by an executive order of April 25, is the filling of the higher positions by tresisfer rather than by original ap- pointment, thus extending the career possibilities in the Federal service Fits Economy Scheme. The procedure under the regulations just adopted will fit into the present economy scheme, which will restrict the filling of vacancies, and thereby will be the means of saving the jobs of many employes who might be dropped because of reduction of force, as well | as benefitting the Government by keep- ing in its ranks trained and valuable employes. The new regulations provide that im- mediately upon receipt by the Civil Service Commission of a requisition for eligibles to fill a vacancy in the profes- sional or the subprofessional service, whether field or departmental, if an employe suitable for transfer is not located through information already available. announcements of the va- cancy will be sent to the department representatives of the Council of Per- sonnel Administration, setting forth briefly the title, salary, duties and re- quirements of the position to be fille | with the request that each council rep- resentative bring the opportunity to the attention of all classified employes in his department or office. Plan Limited to D. C. For the present this plan will be operated in the District of Columbia only, but plans are being developed whereby vacant positions in field branches will be circularized in the lo- cality of the vacancy. Federal employes will thus be given an opportunity to qualify for the vacant position, and it will not be given public announcement unless the place cannot be filled by transfer of some one em- ployed in the service It is further provided that the so- called transfer pool, which lists persons who may be dropped because of reduc- tion of force unless other places can be found for them, and also persons who have been dropped because of re- duction of force and who are eligible or reinstatement to a permanent status, hall be considered before public an- nouncement of the vacancy is made.

Designed to stimulate business re- covery by restoration and stabilization of commodity prices at the 1921-1929 average, the 94-word Goldsborough bill, second of the Democratic policy meas- ures to pass the House of Represerta- tives, was_rushed through under sus- pension of the rules yesterday by & Vote of 289 to 60 The purpose of the measure, termed flationary” by its opponents and ob- jected to by the Treasury and members of the Federal Reserve Board and di- rectors of Reserve banks, is to direct the board. in what virtually amounts to a ndate, to use its facilities in “easy money” operations to revive prices ion of the value of the ollar. | Debate Was Short. | Called up by Speaker Garner on the | motion of ~Representative Steagall, | Democrat, of Alabama, chairman of the Banking Committee, the House debated the measure hardly more than an hour and a half. The large majority showed newly acquired faith in the policy to revive business by continued expansion of Federal Reserve Board purchases of Government securities, which can be made collateral for the issuance of Federal Reserve notes under the pro- visions of the Glass-Steagall act. Pro- ponents of the measure had little p tience with the reminder that the plan Was now g_carried out by the Fed- eral Reserve Boa~d under its “open market D ith purchase of Governm bonds by Reserve banks effected at ti rate of approximately $100.000,000 a week. If that was good policy, American d the propo- ne of the Goldsborough bmp ,a‘fi, and they thought it was, they saw no objection to imposing a congressional mandate to that effect on the Reserve Board. It represented, they argued, no actual change in law or in the powers of the board. That argument wasem- phasized in answer to the statement that the bill amounted to downright inflation. The opposil tary of the Treasury Mills, George L. Harrison, governor of the Federal Re- serve Bank of New York, and Eugene Meyer, governor of the Federal Reserve Board. was rejected with arguments that carried the implication that the Democrats thought the board should be told to go ahead without hesitation and use its vast power to expand credit and thus increase pi Amends Reserve Act. The bill is an amendment to the Federal Reserve act which adds a new section as follows ection 31. It is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States that the average purchasng power of the dollar as ascertained by the Depart- | ment of Labor in the wholesale com- modity markets for the period cover- | ing the years 1921 to 1929, inclusive, shall be restored and maintained by ne control of the volume of credit and currency.” It then says: “The Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve banks and the Secre- tary of the Treasury are hereby charged with the cuty of making effec- tive this policy. Despite the persistency of the argu- | ments that the plan was not “infla- | expressed by Secre- | tion” in the true sense of the term, its advocates made no secret of their be- lief that it would serve to put more Reserve notes in circulation. Cbair- man Steagall made this clear in his report when he sald: | “The Federal Reserve system under the leadership of the late Strong, former governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, measur- ably stabilized for several years the price level by open market operstions, and by adjustment of the rediscount rates of the Federal Reserve banks. The Federal Reserve system has been accumulating gold at the average rate of $200,000000 a year for about six years, and is now in a much stronges position than it was at the time of the open market operations just re- ferred to. | Huddleston Opposes Bill | “It is in & position to put into the market $4,000,000,000 in Federal Re- | serve notes, and still maintain its 40 per cent Teserve requirements. By util- |izing its power to lower reserve re- quirements of the Federal Reserve | banks the system could put into the market nearly $9.000,000.000 of Federal Reserve notes. Either sum, if the coun~ try knew that because of a Congres- sional mandate the Federal Reserve system was going to raise the price level to the point indicated, would be much more than sufficient to raise it, | because as soon as the country un- derstood what the policy of the Fed- | eral Reserve system, as provided by law, was, confidence among banks and business men would be restored, bank loans would expand, the retailer would buy from the wholesaler, the wholesaler | would buy from the manufacturer, the manufacturer from the producer of raw | materials, and the masses of the people would find employment. The House paused in amasement to listen to Representative Huddleston, Democrat, of Alabama, denounce the measure. This was further evidence, members said, that he has been fully |sold on a “conservative” policy, recall- ing his support of the sales tax pro- vision in the revenue bill | "It is a bill which carries the com- mand to do something that cannot be | done,” he said. “It denies every fun- | damental of economic law.” Representative La Guardia, Repub- lican, of New York, said: “If you pass this bill today there will be no necessity | for coming back here and approving |a pay cut tomorrow. So I want all of you to remember and vote against that | pay cut tomorrow.” | I All This Week and Next Week Junior League CLOTHING SALE 425 7th St. N.W, | Articles Made by | Washington’s | Unemployed | Children’s Wash Clothes BOYS' GIRLS' PLAY SUITS DRESSES 49c to 89¢ 35¢c || MEN'S WORK WHITE | SHIRTS APRONS 59¢ 25¢ Only the you COLORADO, YELLOWSTONE o2 GLAC/ER PARK lack '{.‘:,edg Ranches Yellowstone Plan Now to have that lov rado Rockies . . . in Magic mighty mountains.
