WATERS DISCUSSES | B.F EVACUATN Nucleus of Army Must Be Kept and Quartered, Glassford Is Told. ‘The Bonus Expeditionary Force soon | may be reduced by thousands under a | plan on which Commander in Chief Walter W. Waters is now working to keep in the Nations Capital only a nucleus of the vast army which he hopes to recruit to the cause of bonus payment, it was learned today. Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford, superintendent of police, disclosed this | morning that Waters had discussed | with him plans for evacuating a large majority of the bonus army. Depends on New Quarters. The evacuation would depend, how- ever, upon the finding of suitable permanent quarters for the force which ‘Waters intends to keep here until the veterans have accomplished their ob- Jective, according to Gen. Glassford Waters is understood to be fully aware of the dangers growing out of the continued use of the disease-threatened Anacostia camp, where more than 15,000 men are now billcted on the mud flats along the river front. Efforts to transfer these men to the more health- ful site at Alabama avenue and Twenty- first street southeast, failed when the men refused to be quartered so far from the heart of the city. Other thousands are billeted in Government-owned buildings throughout the city, which soon are to be torn down to make way for new Federal structures. Leave for Recruiting. Just how soon any evacuation of large numbers of the veterans may be begun is not known. Plans are now under way to swell the ranks of the bonus army by | July 4. and & number of influential vet- eran leaders prepared today to leave the city on a recruiting campaign These developments came as Com- mander in Chief Waters made a last- minute effort to keep harmony within his ranks. The young commander ten- | dered the post of “national canteen of- ficer” to George Alman, Oregon lumber- Jack, who twice has been deposed as an officer in the army, in an effort to fore- stall Alman’s threatened attempt to split the bonus ranks against their pres- | ent leaders. 2 Alman, who was supplanted as com= mander in chief by Waters, announced Saturday he intended to ask for a public “trial” to vindicate him in the eyes| cf the men and to reinstate him as| “national billeting officer,” from which post_he was removed by action of the B. E. F. Executive Committee. To create support for himself. Alman in- tended today to tour the various camps and address the “rank and file” of the b nus At Camp Glassford.

Meanwhile, dissension threatened the ranks of the Bonus Expeditionary Force from a second source, the Communist party. Following a statement by Gen. !

WETS HOLD LEAD NMINNESOTA VOTE {Resubmissionists | Threaten Clean Sweep in Congres- sional Primaries. | By the Associated Press. ST. PAUL, June 21—Prohibition re- submissionists threatened to make a | | clean sweep of congressional nomina-, | tions in returns today from Monday's | State-wide primaries with four of nine incumbents seeking re-election appar- ! ently eliminated from the at-large race.

Because of the material reduction of the Bureau of Standards’ appropriation for the coming fiscal year, 70 of its employes will be discharged July 1 and the others put on a compulsory fur- lough basis, Dr. George K. Burgess, di- rector, announced today. Dr. Burgess explained his move is en- tirely independent of the compulsory furlough bill now in Congress and is an absolute necessity in order to carry on the work of the bureau with reduced finances. ‘The furlough will take the form of a five-day week and will result in a con- sequent 8.3 per cent reduction in pay. It will affect all the 1,200 employes of the bureau from Director Burgess down. Urged by Advisory Group. ‘The Visiting Committee, advisory body for the Bureau of Standards, which is citizens not in the Government employ, who serve without compensation, met recently and recommended that 10 per cent of the werkers be discharged, Dr. Burgess declared. The director said he was able to see his way through the fiscal jumble by a discharge of only a.little more than 5 per cent of the personnel, however. Those who will lose their jobs will be selected principally from the lower efficiency classifications. About 20 of them will be men who were employed in scientific work with the written under- standing that their jobs would last on!; 50 long as necessary funds were avail- able. The 70 to lose thelr jobs will be scattered throughout all the various di- visions of the bureau. “I hope these reductions in expenses will see us through our difficulty.” Dr. Burgess said. “but if they do not. I may be compelled to institute still fur- ther economies.” More Furloughs Possible. ‘These further economies, he declared, probably will take the form of addi- the Republican nomination for | tional furloughs, since the director is' ‘without legal authority to cut salaries. The slash in operating expenses, Dr. Burgess pointed out, must meet the $612.290 reduction in the bureau’s ap- propriation. For the year now ending $2749,570 was alloted to it. while for the coming year only $2,137,280 will be available. _Additional revenue last year was de- rived from work done for other Gov- ernment departments and bureaus. governmental establishment also are faced with a shortage of funds.

Mustardfl‘ composed of distinguished | Sanitary Train, 42nd Division, | SENATE EXPECTED | 10 PASS FURLOUGH Conferees Meet to Discuss Revised Plan, Passed by Wide Margin in House. —(Continued From First Page.) Mexico, a member of the conference committee, announced he would make a vigorous fight to have eliminated a Pprovision which would prevent members of the District Fire and Police Depart- ments and others exempted under the furlough plan from enjoying any an- Dual leave with pay in the coming fiscal year. In addition to losing annual leave with pay, the class of employes exempted also would suffer a pay cut. Senator Bratton described the pro- vislon as a “joker,” which he said un- questionably crept into the bill during its hurried consideration. He said he did not believe it was the intention of Congress to work an injustice on any group of employes. “As I read the provision,” Senator Bratton sald, “the House conference re- port as adopted says: ‘All rights now conferred or authorized to be conferred by law upon any officer or employe who receives annual leave of absence with pay are hereby suspended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1933". " 1f allowed to stand, Bratton said, this provision undoubtedly would knock out all leave with pay in the coming fiscal year. “This was not intended,” he de- clared, “and I propose to take the mat- ter up on the floor of the Senate and try to straighten out this matter.” President Hoover's salary, under es- tablished law, cannot be affected while | he is holding office. The President, however, has indicated he will return a part of his salary to the Treasury, and the bill authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to accept whatever amount | Mr. Hoover turns back. If he follows the graduated pay cut written into the bill, the President will turn back 20 per cent, or $15,000. Straight Pay Cut Beaten. Before the overwhelming vote had been cast in favor of the modified fur- lough plan, the House earlier had agreed to all uncontroversial matters in the | conference report. and later defeated decisively a straight pay cut, offered by Mr. McDuffie on behalf of the con- ferees. This was beaten by a 243-to-165 vote. Tt clearly revealed the temper of the House, which was determined to back a payless furlough instead. Under the McDuffie pay cut proposal, a 10 per cent slash was applied on sal- | aries in excess of $1,200 instead of 151,000, with the same graduated scale applying to salaries over $10,000, rang- ing to 20 per cent on those of $20,000 or more. Once the furlough plan was | submitted, even though members had | scant opportunity to examine all its | manifold features, the wave in its sup- port gained rapid momentum. Under this new furlough plan the pay | slash falls indiscriminately, the smay- | salaried clerk over $1,000 losing in the {same proportion as the bureau heads. | whose pay approaches $10,000. Under | | the plan as approved in the House, Sen- | ators and Representatives would have | | their salaries cut 10 per cent; the Vice | President and Speaker of the House, | | 15 per cent, because they draw more | | pay. | All Employes Affected. While District public school teachers. | Washington police, park police and | ‘White House police, as well as the fire- | men, whose services are “indispensable.’ | are exempt from the furlough feature. | their pay nevertheless will be cut 83 per cent. The pay of persons on the rolls of the Senate and House. if draw- ! ing more than $1.000 per annum, also is reduced by the same amount. As the bill wipes out all annual leave with pay during the coming fiscal year, | beginning July 1, all excepted from the ! furlough not only will suffer an 8.3 cut | |in salary, but will lose annual leave | { with pay. District firemen and police= | | men are now granted 20 days annual leave with pay, and a bill was intro-| duced during the current session of | Congress_to increase the leave to 30 |days. The Commissioners, however, | | made an unfavorable report on this easure. ‘The provision in the economy bill |~ “All rights now conferred or author- ized to be conferred by law upon any | officer or employe to receive annual { leave of absence with pay are hereby suspended during the fiscal year end- l ing June 30, 1933.” “As it stands now,” declared Mr. Mc- Duffie during debate on the bill, “no one on the Federal pay roll will escape | making some contribution. Every em- i ploye either will take a payless fur- { lough or an 8.3 per cent reduction in | | salary. “Under the original plan, the Presi- | dent or department heads could have | prevented any reduction in compensa- tion of employes whose services they | considered indispensable the year round. No such discretion is allowed ther | under the furlough plan as it is now | WOl “This amendment will prevent any | | favoritism whatsoever and compel every | | one drawing money from the Federal | | Government to help make up the deficit which now confronts it.” Mr. McDuffie declared unless Con- | gress at this session makes a moderate | | reduction in salaries, “a slash more | hurtful than is now proposed will be made at the beginning of the next | session.” Sick Leave Not Touched. ‘The President was directed to promul- gate regulations for the uniform en- forcement of the furlough plan in the various departments. Bureau chiefs and department heads will have no dis- cretion in the matter. Sick leave is left undisturbed. thuctlun; along the same scale as for others will be applied to the retired pay of judges (except those whose com- | pensation may not under the Constitu- tion be diminished), as well as to the retired pay of all commissioned and other personnel (except enlisted) of the Army, Navy’ Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Public Health Service, Coast and Geo- detic Survey and the Lighthouse Service. |, Despite a sprited beginning, opposi- tlon tc the various features in the un- controversial section of the conference | Teport were speedily approved. Futile cfforts were made to block agreement on such items as preferential discharge | of either husband or wife, when both |are in the Federal or District service; 50 per cent cuts in night pay differen- tials and the 15-day permanent annual leave which is abolished during this coming fiscal year. | Retirement Is Compulsory. !

S. Workers Are “Indeed Disquieting,” Says Spokesman. The prospects for Federal workers during the coming fiscal year were characterized by Luther C. Steward, president of fhe National Federation of Federal Employes, today as being “in- deed disquieting. Steward made this assertion in com- menting on the compulsory furlough plan for the Government workers here and throughout the United States, as adopted by the House yesterday. He denounced the legislation. He also attacked the stand taken b)" the American Federation of Labor and the Federation of Post Office Clerks in | indorsing the measgre. In a statement to members of the federation today, he pointed out that all of the appropriation bills have been reduced and he asserted that there is| a prospect of many dismissals. He said | he figured that “at the best,” the Fed- eral employes will lose ‘the equivalent of 81 per cent of their present com- pensation.” In commenting on what he termed “highly significant features of the bill," | the federation official said “In the first place, from the very out- set of the discussion relative to cutting Federal pay roll costs, proponents of | the furlough plan, including presiden- tial spokesmen and members of both House and Senate, have laid great stress on the claim that the adoption of the furlough plan would result in saving the positions of many thousands of Federal employes, as well as providing for employment for many more thou- sands. and that no one would be dis- missed. X “During discussion of the measure in the Senate, various members of the committee pointed to section 111: ‘The appropriations, or portions of appro- priations, unexpended by reason of the operation of this title, shall not be used for any purpose other than the payment | of salaries, but shall be impounded and returned to the Treasury,’ and argued that if the appropriations were cut money obtained by the use of the fur- lough plan would be used for the re- tention of employes in service. | “Section 214, added to the bill in the | Senate and retained in conference, au- | thorized indefinite furloughs at the di: cretion of department heads. The pro- | vision was explained by members of the Senate committee handling the bill on the floor as merely an admonition to departmental executives to avoid de- ficiencies ! “The furlough proposal offered when the bill was under consideration in the House exempted from its provisions sal- aries less than $2.000; as passed by the Senate, salarles less than $1.200. As adopted by the House its provisions have been lowered to include $1.000 em- ployes. The words in the impounding section above have been eliminated, and the sinister possibilities of section 214 begin to assume their true proportions.” RELATIVES (;‘.ET PATIENT ‘ Man Who Jumped From Speedin Train to Be Given Treatment. Joseph Fallon, 29, of Jersey City, who leaped from a speeding R., F. & P. train yesterday between Alexandria and Rich- mond. and was brought to Washington for treatment and mental observation, was released late yesterday to relatives from New Jersey. His injuries, it was | said, were only superfisicial. and he will | be taken to & mental hospital in New Jersey. | Fallon said his leap from the train was made because a “gang was plotting to murder me and rob me of my sav- mfi:," He had $65.94 on him, police said. . e ing a civilian office to the compensation plus the allowances he received im- ' mediately before his retirement from the service. This provision will affect Maj. Gen. Herbert B. Crosby, police Commissioner; Maj. Gen. Mason M.! Patrick, chairman of the Public Utilities Commission, and Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford, superintendent of police. It will not apply, however, to any person whose retired pay, plus civilian pay, amounts to less than $3.000. The whole scheme exempts emergency officers suf- | in | combat. Considerable oppostion encountered the mandatory 10 per cent cut on the limit of cost on all public construction | projects, irrespective of whether appro- priations already have been authorized. | It was approved, however, despite ob- jections that it would necessitate the | resubmission of architect and engineer than it would save. | In the same endeavor to effect an economy, the bill declares that rentals | for any building used for governmental purposes shall not exceed 15 per cent of the fair market value of the property at_the time of the lease. The provision authorizing the Presi- dent to reorganize and consolidate cer- tain executive branches of the Govern- ment, subject to the veto of either House of Congress, also remains in the | bill as finally approved by the House. The War and Navy Departments, how- ever, are excluded, with certain qualifi- cations. The per diem fees for jurors also are reduced $1 a day. The fee for wit- nesses is fixed at $1.50 instead of $2, and the per diem expenses of subsist- ence of witnesses is suspended for the year. v Another amendment, over which no objection was raised, provides that not more than 12 per cent of any appro- priation for an executive department or an independent establishment or the | District Municipal Government for the 1933 fiscal year shall be transferred to any other appropriation under the same department or establishment. It fur- ther provides that no appropriation shall be increased by more than 15 per cent by such transfers. Efforts of Federal employes’ groups to strike from the bill the provisions re- lating to the Personnel Classification Board were futile. The functions of this board would be transferred to the Civil Service Commissicn, under the form of the conference report as agreed upon.

MPLOYES receiving compen- sation on an annual basis at the rate of more than $1,000 a year will be furloughed for one calendar month of 24 working days. Saturday will be counted as a half day. Per diem workers receiving more than $1,000 a year will be put on a five-day week. If the application of the furlough reduces the rate of compensation to less than $1,000 & year, the furlough will be applied only to the extent necessary to reduce the rate of com- pensation to $1,000 a year. Exempted from the furlough are such officials and employes whose services cannot be spared. Specifi- cally mentioned are members of the Metropolitan, Park and White House police forces, members of the Dis- trict Pire Department, teachers in the District public schools, officers and employes on the rolls of the Senate and House, members of Con- gress, postmasters and postal em- ployes. Such employes drawing be- tween $1,000 and $10,000 will have to take an 8.3 per cent salary cut; between $10,000 and $12,000, a 10 per cent cut between $12,000 and $15,000, a 12 per cent cut; between $15.000 and $20,000, a 15 per cent cut, and over $20,000, a 20 per cent cut. The retired pay of judges and commissioned officers of the Army, Na and Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Coast and Geodetic Survey, lighthouse service and public health service will be reduced under the same scale. Annual leave with pay is perma- nently fixed at 15 days, excluding Sundays and holidays. Senator Jones of Washington, vho handled the economy bill in the Senate, ex- plained there will be no annual leave with pay in the coming fiscal year, and that the 15-day-leave-with-pay provision will become operative at the beginning of the 1934 fiscal year. Sick leave is left undisturbed, but the President is authorized to formu- late regulations to obtain uniformity in the various departments. Department heads are authorized to furlough employes indefinitely to keep within appropriations for the 1933 fiscal year. In the event of necessary dismis- sals, either a husband or wife, if both are in the Federal service, shall be the first released. In the future appointments to the classified serv- ice preference will be given to per- sons whose husband or wife is not already in the Government service. Retirement deductions will be on the regular rate of salary prior to the furlough or salary cut. Pay for overtime, night and holi- day work will be 5 per cent above the day rate. Such work will be distributed, if possible, among em- ployes not on a full-time basis. The salary of retired Army or Navy officers in civilian positions is limited to the compensation plus allowances received immediately be- fore retirement. Persons whose re- tired pay plus civilian pay amounts to less than $3,000 will not be af- fected. Emergency officers suffer- ing from disabilities incurred in combat also are exempt. Tax on Bank Checks Dependent on Form Of Blanks in Use First payments today of the 2-cent revenue tax on all bank checks started a controversy over counter checks, the impression prevailing widely that such checks are tax-exempt. Some are; some are not. Payment depends on the form of counter check used by each bank. If the blanks say “pay to the order of,” thereby making & negotiable instrument, the tax must be paid by the depositor. ‘The forms used by some Wash- ington banks say, “Recelved in person from” the bank named and are also marked “not nego- tiable.” On such checks no tax has to be paid, as they are mere- ly a receipt for funds received. Other local banks are adopting the “receipt” forms. As soon as these new forms are printed it seems probable the majority of local bank depositors will not have to pay any tax when they draw money at the tellers’ win- dows. MANY NEW TAXES INEFFECT TODAY Others Will Be Levied Upon' Public Until Present Stocks Are Exhausted. By the Associated Press. Starting on their task of bringing the United States budget to a balanced basis after two years of deficits, a long list of new Federal taxes became effec- tive today. In some cases there will not filter down to the general public immediately as they are charged upon the sales of | manufacturers or importers to retail- ers, and, therefore, stocks on hand to- | day remained clear of tax. Many charges, however, became directly effec- tive on the consumer at the stroke of midnight. Many in Effect Now. Long-distance calls, telegrams, cable | and radio messages are now subject to | various charges, generally ranging up from 10 cents. The 2-cent tax on bank : checks is in force, exempting only re- | ceipt forms used by some institutions | now in place of counter checks. So are a 10 per cent charge on rental of safe deposit boxes and stamp taxes on se- curity issues, transfers and conveyances. | Admission tickets to theaters and all entertainments are now subject to the new tax, which begins at 10 per cent | on all those above 40 cents. A 3 per | cent charge on the domestic and com- | mercial electric light bill will be levied | for one-third of this month to obfllltl meter readings today. As soon as existing retail stocks are gone, the consumers will meet the‘ 1-cent tax on gasoline and 4 cents on | oil, and other taxes on tires and acces- | sories, automobiles, trucks, radio sets, | mechanical refrigerators, sporting goods, | cameras, matches, candy, chewing gum, soft drinks, toilet preparations, furs and jewelry.

With application of the furlough plan | throughout the Government service in prospect, departmental chiefs today were scanning the provisions of the pending legislation to determine just how it would be invoked and what the effect would be. Because of the uncertainty that has | surrounded this legislation. there was a general tendency throughout the federal service to withhold any comment until enactment finally is accomplished, thus permitting an adequate study and some definite conclusions. There was | & departure from this attitude at the | Post Office Department. Meets Postal Needs. There it was said that the proposal meets the needs of that branch, and it was recalled that Postmaster General Brown had consistently argued for the furlough plan if the postal service is to maintained at the present efficiency. As it was pointed out at the depart- ment, the personnel there is at approx- imately the same level as in the fiscal year 1930, when the largest businesc in history was transacted, despite a falling off of approximately 17 per cent in business. * The ohly reductions, it was | amplified. have been those caused by retirements, death, and dismissals for cause. and consequently, the furloughs can be applied without hardship. The furlough plan, with other econ- omlies, is caluculated to save $40,000,000 Faced With Blanket Cut. The department. however, is still faced with the possibility of the blanket 10 per cent slash in its appropriation, ordered by the Senate on all money bills, and totaling $80.000.000, and if this additionai $40.000,000 must be made up, it will have to be at the expense of service and employment, it was Teiterated. At the Civil Service Commission, it was said that the furlough plan was favored so long as economies must be applied, because it would preserve sal- S rters i (n informs juarters it was eed that there wmqbe few depzr!fi‘x‘e’;tal employes who will have to take a pay cut and still be deprived of leave be- cause their services are indispensible. The view was expressed, too, that before the furlough nlan can become operative the office of the controlier general will have to pass on a number of points affecting pay Awarded I;mme l{:dul.

LaxE A REPORT IS ASSAILED BY PRINTERS' UNION Reduction of Pay of Night Workers, as Proposed by Conferees, Scored. ‘T*=z report of congressional conferees on the ecoromy bill was condemned yesterday at a meeting of Columbia Typowrlflhlcul Union, No. 101, for “lack of knowledge of conditions in the Gov- ernment service and practices in out- side industry.” ‘The printers’ union particularly criti- cized that part of the report depriving night workers in the Government Print- ing Office of extra pay for night work, and cutting their wages in the same percentage as day men—whether by turlough or actual pay cut. “We cannot conceive the frame of mind of legislators who seek to reduce cer- tain employes of the Government such an amount as contemplated in the con- ference report, and allow other employes the advantage of lesser reductions be- cause their hours of labor are diffe: ent” Clyde M. Mills, president of the union, said. The union indorsed a telegram sent to all members of Congress by Mr. Mills, also a_representative of the In- ternational Typographical Union, ex- | pressing condemnation and criticism of | the conference report on the part of | the organization’s 78,000 members. | New officers were installed at the | meeting, which was marked by the largest attendance in years.
