Physicians said she received a concussion of the brain. Sharp exclamations of indignation and modified expressions of approval greeted the verdit late today. ‘The rotund, baritone-singing husband of the evangelist, whose declarations of innocence were vehemently consistent throughout the trial of nearly three weeks, at once telephoned his attorney to ap N “No, no, no!” he shouted when the news of the verdict reached him. “Five thousand dollars {or that girl?

TWO STATE DEPARTMERNT EMPLOYES ARE RETIRED ‘Two veteran employes of the State Department staffl here, Paul Webster Eaton, a clerk, and Lloyd Sharpe, col- ored messenger, have just been retired, each a victim of automatic retiremen: ‘They are the only employes of thi department in Washington upon whom the retirement provision became imme- diately effective. President Hoover re- cently, however, granted extensions to several valued State Department offi- clals whose services, he held, cannot now be lost to the Government. Eaton's Government service dates shack to 1883, when he came to Wach- ington from Portland, Me. Until 1904 he was employed as an accountant in various departments. For the last 24 years he had been continuously with the State Department. Sharpe joined the State Department 45 a messenger in 1898, during the Spanish-American War.

The new relief bill recently intro- duced in Congress by Senator Costigan, Democrat, of Colorado, and Represent- ative La Guardia, Republican, of New York, designed to provide emergency financing facilifies for unemployed workers, may be given further consider- ation before the present session ends. As explained by Donald R. Richberg, who took part in preparation of it, the measure would provide immediately a purchasing power of from $300 to $500 to unemployed heads of families to cover the necessities of life for the next six months. Costigan, chairman of the Senate Subcommittee to which the bill was re- ferred, was considering yesterday whether further hearings would be held, but a definite time was not announced. According to Richberg, who is counsel ! for the Rallway Labor Executives’ As- sociation, the bill is not the product of | any one individual organization, but represents study by many economists, lawyers, bankers, civic and industrial organizations. For Exchange Corporation. The measure would create a United States Exchange Corporation, similar in function to the Reconsiruction Finance Corporation, but having for its purpose putting credit behind purchasing power instead of behind productive power. The first task of the corporation would be to make, within 30 days, a survey of the existing demands upon essential industries for the necessities of ylife which are not g satisfied be- cause of lack of purchasing power. This would be dore in order to deter- mine the character and volume of purchases which would result from es- tablishing a credit of $500 each for un- employed heads of households and the maximum increases of employment which could be produced in response to such purchesing power. As ‘explained by Mr. Richberg, the | bill provides that, on the basis of this| | survey, the corporation would arrange through local agencies to extend credits | to cover six months' necessary pur-| | chases for unemployed heads of house- | holds in amoun's not exceeding $300 | for an individual, plus $100 for each de- | pendent, but not exceeding a total of | $500 for each housshold. | | Credit would be extended to appli-| or before 10 years after date, with a low | |but increasing rate of interest—1 per | cent the first year, 2 per cent the sec- lr)nd year, 3 per cent the third year and | | 4 per cent thereaftr. Certificates of Credit. Payments would be made for goods by such’ notes accompanied by correspond- |ing credit certificates signed by local |agents of the exchange corporation. { The credits would be allotted to States | either in accordance with population or | |the need for relief. If the total re- | quests for credit exceed $3,000,000,000, reductions in amounts allotted to the States would be made proportionately. | Borrowers employed. during_the life of and their employers would be required, to deduct 10 per cent of wages to be paid to the corporation until the notes have been safisfied The bill defines conditions under which credits to meet charitable relief needs could be extended to State or | municipal relief agencies. The bill would authorize the exchange corporation to issue notes, debentures and bonds to the | amount of not more than five times its | initial capital of $500,000,000, thus pro- viding a total revolving fund of npproxi- mately $3,000,000,000.

" 22, and tladelphia; | the exchange corporation would agree, | If the House should determine to take up the Senate $300.000,000 relief bill, now before the House Banking Committee, and amend it in accord- ance with the recommendations of the President in his veto message, the pro- cedure might be hastened. The bill then would go to conference with the te. This course might be taken to avoid efforts on the part of Sen- ator Costigan of Colorado and others to amend the relief bill, or to substi- tute for it the new Costigan bill, which has the backing of the railroad brother- hoods and other labor organizations. Many of the Senators as well as House members are anxious to dispose finally of relief legislation and to wind up the present session of Congress. Majority Beader Rainey said he believed it would be possible to close the ses- sion by the early part of next week. Serator McNary of Oregon, assistant Republican leader, expressed a similar hope for adjournment Debate Short and Brisk. When the relief bill conference re port was called up in the Senate yi terday by Chairman Norbeck of the Banking and Currency Committee the debate was comparatively short and brisk. Democratic Senators, including Sen- ators Wagner of New York, Bulkley of Ohio and Robinson, undertook to show President Hoover and Secretary of the Treasury Mills had been the original proponents of loans by the Re- construction Finance Corporation to private industry. They quoted from messages of the President and from hearings at which Mills appeared. Sen- ator Johnson of California, Republican enemy of the President, took much same position. mguppoflep:: of Mr. Hoover, ingluding Senator Watson, the Republican leader, and Senator Barbour of New Jersey, replied that, while there had been rec: ommendations for loans to private in- dustry for capital expenditures, ade- quately secured, there was no proposal such as that of Speaker Gamner that loans be made to any private person who desired them. They differentiated between loans to private industry and loans here and there to private indi- viduals. Senator Johnson declared the Presi- dent “must take the onus and respon- sibility if there be no relief Jegislation | ‘The Cali- ngress.” passed by the Cong: abould fornia Senator said Congress stay on the job and pass the bill over the President's veto. Known as Opponents. Voting for the adoption of the con- ference greport were the two New York Senators, Copeland and Wagner, and the two Massachusetts Senators, Walsh and Coolidge, although it is understood that they have no sympathy with the proposal to make Government loans to private individuals. On the roll call 14 Republicans and 29 Democrats voted for the conference Teport, and 25 Republicans, 5 Demo- crats and 1 Farmer-Labor Senator voted against it.

Just before the vote Senator Borah, Republican, Idzho, indorsed the pro- vision for léans to private individuals. “I do not understand why there should be any serious objection—leaving aside for the moment the matter of admin- istration—to loaning to individuals or private corporations in view of the pol- icy which has been i) gurated and the program that hes “cen initiated already under the Reconttruction Finance Cor- poraticn,” Borah said He contended be objectionable i individual gives a: ity h loans would not he corporation or irance the money employment and provides good se Makes Flat Promise.

When Congress enacted the payless furlcugh, it literally fired a shot “heard ‘round the world,” for fhere is scarcely a foreign country in which some Amer- fcan foreign service officer was not | planning to take his accumulated leave. | With pay, of course. Cablegrams have | warned those who had not yet started with their families, but in some cases, { cflicers are aboard ships now en route to the United States, only to find upon their arrival here that they have un- wittingly dug deep into their savings. Ambassador Walter E. Edge is the | only Ambassador on leave ia this coun- try, having arrived from Paris some time ago. The Minister to Guatemala. | Sheldon Whitebcuse, and the Minister | to Norway, Hoffman Philip, also are en- | joying their leaves here—without pay. | Some of the foreign officers, who can- | not afford to take two months’ leave when their pay is to be deducted, are | preparing to return to their posts by | | the first available steamer or transport. | | Every day they are on the water is eat- ing into their cash reserves. Allowed 60 Days. Forelgn Service officers, a majority of whom are wholly dependent on their salaries, are givenn travel time from their posts, plus 60 days at home, when | they have accumulated leave. To many of these officers already on leave in this country, some from the | Far East, the Near East or South Amer- . ice, the unexpected news that they are | {now actually on leave without pay | | creates an embarrassing financial prob- | {lem. When they began to examine into | their status they received another jolt. {In addition to the loss of two months’ pay. they discovered their salaries are to be cut 845 per cent, which in itself is sufficient worry for some with families. If those who arrived here cn July 1, when the economy law became effective, start back immediately for their posts they will lose the time it takes for the return passage, which may be eight days or eight weeks. Then, in addition to this disappointment, the Govern- ment returns to the Treasury a per- centage of what is left of their income. Against Five-Day Week. Another question which comes up before the State Department under | conditions peculiar to the operations of that department is the application of the proposed five-day week to the personnel in Washington. In the opinion of most officials, it simply cannot be done because the State De- H:;t_:ll'l(efll. in da]] lmth branches, is e” seyen days in the week, mc‘“ded.sq ys e week, nights There are a few offices in which the five-day week could be put into effect without interfering much with the routine of business, but these are very few, officials pointed out. “Eternal vigilance” is the rule of most of the bureau chiefs and the forces under | them. This is particularly true of the Far Eastern division, the Public In- | formation Bureau, whose members keep nightly contact with the press, the telegraph and code divisions and numerous others, where it is necessary to be in touch with all quarters of the earth day and night the year round. Even the Secretary of State and the assistant secretaries are not exempt from this rigid rule. When important issues are pending, like the recent ! troubles in Shangbai, or matters deal- ing with reparations, they drop into the department at night to answer pressing cebles or to send instructions ! that cannot wait until the janitor opens | the offices the next morning. Conse- | quently, the State Department staffs | are unaccustomed to keep regular | hours, and there is scarcely a geo- graphic division in the entire depart- ment, it was said, that could operate | on a rigid five-day week by closing down on Saturday. Arms Parley Example. Officials cited the recent prcposal to | European nations to reduce their arma- | ments as an example of the conditions which make a five-day week unwork- able in the State Department. | All day Friday and Saturday and late Saturday night, Secretary Stimson and | his assistants worked on the intricate questions involved, only to return to their offices on Sunday to put in an- other hard day's work. The following Monday morning, before 8 o'clock, As- sistant Secretary Rogers received a call from the President, which summoned | him immediately to the White House. | The rest of the day was one of un- ending work. About 2 o'clock one of | the private secretaries brought Mr. Rogers some crackers and told him heartlessly, “There's water in the jug.” | But all the problems involved in the five-day-week plan are not confined to | the personnel in Washington. In the | case of forelgn service officers in tropi- | {cal countries, particularly near the Equator, the omission of customary | furloughs is said to be detrimental to their health, unless the officer is for- | tunate enough to be able to afford leave | | without pay. | Due to the climatic conditions which are unsuited to Northern races, it has | been customary for foreign officers at stations along the Equator to recuperate | | for two weeks every quarter of a year. | | This has been a practice on which physi- | cians have issued strict orders, for other- ‘wl.se few white men could live and | keep well under the torrid conditions. | They usually go to the mountains, if there are any, or some higher altitude , to escape the relentless heat and humidity. Under the economy bill this | | privilege, it was said, would be denied | them unless they do so at their own | sacrifice of pay. :‘FIFTEE;J BOOTLEGGERS GET SENTENCES HERE | | Most of Prisoners Taken on Pos- session Charges—All Caught in Last Two Weeks.

DNOMY MERGER | INQUIRY INIPENDS Special Rule Ordered by House Committee on Bul- winkle Resolution. ik The question of reorganizing the ex- ecutive departments and the independ- ent offices and establishments in the executive branch of the Government will be fought out in the House on Monday or Tuesday if a special rule ordered yesterday by the House Rules Committee is called up as is expected. This rule makes in order considera- tion of the resolution introduced by Representative Bulwinkle, Democrat, of | North Carolina, which would lutharlze‘ the Speaker to appoint a select commit- tee of seven members of the House, to make an investigation “with a view to determining upon such consolidations, aholishments and reorganizations of de- partments, independent offices and establishments, commissions, boards, bureaus, divisions, services, offices and nglmmlstratlve units as it deems advis- able.” Purpose of Study. The purpose of such study is to (1) eliminate such duties and functions as | are found to be overlapping, duplicated, useless or unnecessary and (2) to achieve economy and efficiency in the administration of the remaining duties and functions of the executive branch of the Government. The resclution calls for this com- mittee to report to the House the result of its investigation, with recommenda- tions, on or before February 15 next. Representative Bulwinkle said that he had been waiting patiently for the House Committee on Expenditures to take some such action and that as the end of the session nears he felt impelled to seek special consideration for such a measure in the interests of economy and efficiency. H Opposition Expected. Considerable opposition s expected | to be voiced in the House when the Bulwinkle resolution is called up. The resolution provides that “every officer or employe of the United States in the executive branch of the Gov- ernment is requested to supply the select committee to be appointed by the Speaker with such information relat- ing to the matter under investigation by the committee and contained in the records of thehomce of i!t‘:Ch :I:;err:t employe as the committee - quel;l. The committee is also author- ized to make use, as far as is con- sistent with the best interests of the public service, of agencies, officers and employes in the executive branch of the Government.” FURLOUGH PLANS TO BE COMPLETED BY HOOVER RULING (Continued five-day plan will have only & very limited application. The reggn from the council, which was given to President Hoover by Thomas E. Campbell, president of the Civil Service Commission, who is chair- man of the council, represented a week's study, which had been directed by the President, and in which views of repre- sentatives of the ex;‘till;edcuvemmem or- anization were solicited. ‘ ‘While this study was in progress it had seemed likely that the five-day week n wouwld be put into effect, not throughout the entire service, Wwhere such a move wuh concededu\lo be im-; e, but rather generally. p(‘::héhc wind-up, however, it was said that the comclusion nad 'been reached that in but few agencies could it be adapted to needs. IX‘I) the end, it was understood, the re- port proposed that this method be ap- plied where it could be done without hurting the service, increasing the cost or working a hardship on workers. This last point figured importantly, it was said, inasmuch as opponents pointed | out that under the five-day plan work- ers would be unable to accumulate any extended leave and would only be abie to take such leave at the cost of losing more pay. The continuing services that are re- quired would serve es a barrier to the | plan iz many branches of Government it was pointed out, and lack of funds to stagger work would constitute an- Five-Day Week Favored. President Hoover was understood to favor the five-day week principle wher- ever possible, and it was said on behalf | of proponents of the idea that it was viewed importantly as setting an ex- ample for private industry. The Government Printing Office, field service of the Navy and per diem work- | ers of the District already have gone on this basis. Wherever the five-day week is in effect, those employes concerned figure o get two days the best of it, inasmuch as they will get off for a total of 26 ! ays, againct their pay deduction of 30 | days, while others draw only a 24-day furlough for the 30 days. Controller General McCarl’s instruc- tions were formally promulgated in the Treasury Department yesterday by Sec- | retary Mills, for the “information and guidance” of those in charge of per- sonnel. Concurrently, Secretary Mills issued copies of the new salary tables showing the various pay rates, deductions on ac- count of retirement pay, deductions on account of the compulscry furlough and | the net amount to be received by the employe.

M. Collins, president of the association, this past week, called attention to an order last month setting out that or- ganized Federal employes would be held respensible for the acts of their officers such instanc Concurrently, the Post Office Depart- ment warned its employes ogainst or- ganized political activity. In his response yesterday, President Collins said: 3 “Do_you think that Congress will stand for such intimidation as is con- tained in your news release of June, 1932? Do you think that you can pro- hibit the publication of the recorded acts of legislators in Congress as re- corded in the Congressional Record? Your preposterous attitude would leave the legislator free to act, knowing that his copstituents could not be advised of his acts, either favorably or unfavor- ably. You have seen fit to broadcast to the public what you are going to do without giving the essential facts at issue. The facts may and can be brought eut by congressional investiga- tion. When such is done, both sides are represented. All Pederal organiza- tions are involved in this issue, as well as the American Federation “of Labor, and we are prepared to ask for a con- gressional investigation of the acts of all parties concerned.” —_— NAVY DOCKS SHIPS IN ECONOMY MOVE Vessels Decommissionied to Be Held or Sold as Appropriations Are Cut.
