YRR 4 B4 H8000 CUT ~ INHOOVER'S PLAN How U. S. Workers Would Be ¥ Affected Outlined in Bud- get Message. ‘The two-ply pay cut for Government | workers recommended by President | Hoover would lop $154.748,000 off the Tolls in the next fiscal year, it was| disclosed today, as the Budget went ! forward to Congress, accompanied by a | message from the Chief Executive dis- | cussing its provisions. 4 ‘The substance of the program was | outlined yesterday in the President's| annual message. | By \continuing for another year the | econemy act, the message today said, | the furlough provision entailing an 81-3 per cent wage reduction would make possible a saving of $99,366,000. ‘The imposition of the *“temporary’ 11 per cent cut on all salary abo\'ei $1,000 would produce an additional $55,000,000, Mr. Hoover estimated. The total under the economy act ‘was divided: $97,398,000 for the execu- tive branch of the Government (and inclusive of the judicial), and $1,.- 968,000 for the legislative. As Presi- dent Hoover pointed out, however, leg- islative estimates are not subject to re- vision by the Chief Executive, and it 3 therefore up to Congress to say if #8is last item of saving is to be effected. | The budget itemizes the economy | act reductions, but the total that! would accrue under the 11 per cent | lan is shown only in lump sum, a jootnote explaining that it “pertains to | all of the appropriation items which | make provision for personal services,” and adding that “a statement will.be 4made available to the proper commit- tees of Congress showing the amount of the reduction which pertains to each appropriation item.” Temporary Reduction. The message explains that this is to be “a temporary reduction in the rate of pay of Federal personnel, to be ap- plied to all civil employes prior to the application of the provisions of” the economy act The text of the legislation proposed to carry it into effect follows: “During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1934— : “(a) The compensation for each ci- wilian office, position, or employment in sny branch or service of the United States Government or the government of the District of Columbia is hereby reduced as follows: Compensation at an annual rate of $1,000 or less shall be ex- empt from reduction; and compensa- tion at an annual rate in excess of $1,000 shall be reduced by 11 per centum of the amount thereof in ex- cess of $1,000. “(b) The term ‘compensation’ shall be defined and computed as provided in subsections (b) and (c) of Section 104 of Part II of the act entitled ‘An act making lgpmpmuons for the leg- islative branch of the Government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1933, and for other purposes,’ approved June 30, 1932 (Economy Act, definition), in 8o far as such subsections are appli- cable to any civilian office, position, or employment. “(c) In the case of a corporation the majority of the stock of which is owned by the United States, the holders of the stock on' behalf of the, United States, or such persons as represent the interest of the United States in such corporation, shall take such action as may be necessary to apply the provi- sions of subsection (a) herein to offices, , and employments under such on and to officers and em- thereof. | ployes ‘ Fixed Compensation Exempt. *(d) The reduction provided herein shall not apply to any office, position, or employment the amount of compen- sation of which is expressly fixed by in- ternational agreement; any office, posi- tion, or employment the compensation of which is paid under the terms of any contract in effect on the date of the enactment of this act if such com- pensation may not lawfully be reduced; any office the compensation of which may not under the Constitution, be di- minished during the term of office; any office, position, or employment the com- pensation for which is adjustable to conform to the prevailing rate for simi- lar work, but the wage board or other body charged with the duty of making such adjustments shall take such ac- tion as may be necessary to make such sdjustment effective July 1, 1933; nor to any office, position, or employment the compensation for which is derived from assessments on and or is not paid from the Federal Treasury.” In recommending this second cut, ‘which with the first is estimated to mean an average reduction of 14.8 per cent for all Federal employes getting more than $1,000 annually, the Presi- dent went beyond the proposal of the Budget Bureau, which was lémiud to carrying over the economy act. ‘The act itself, if the recommendation s followed, will continue in effect with little change. One modification would restore” to wage boards (such as operate at navy yards and arsenals, for example) the power to make wage adjustments, which was suspended this year. This would | ,be accomplished by striking out the | Jcovering section in the economy act,! and writing a new provision in the degislation covering the 11 per cent cut. Filling of Vacancies. The other prigcipal change would put in the hands-of the heads of Gov- ernment establishments the power to fill necessary vacancies, which now re- poses with the President. Other modifications are designed only to bring up to date the act which} started out, in general, as a ‘one-year ) proposition, although two of its pro- | visions which have been the subject of controversy — retirement _and marital ~_SPECIAL NOTICES.

But while the administrative furlough section of the act would be included for the next year, the e-up of the budget indicates that this principle will be in effect more in theory than in practice. In several instances, funds ure earmarked for the express purpose of avolding such furloughs, which were designed this year for those agencies which otherwise would have been forced to discharge workers to keep within their appropriations. In this connection, it is indicated that such an allotment of funds, esti- mated for the Interstate Commerce Commission, would be at the expense of a reduction of force. personnel also are in prospect at the Federal Trade Commission and the Clvil Service Commission, according to budget estimates, and the latter, which has found it necessary this year to in- voke administrative furloughs ranging from 8 to 30 days, will face the same prospect in the nesxt fiscal year. The administrative furlough plan was designed as a work-spreading move- ment, in establishments which were hit with particular force by the Govern- ment economy wave, but a survey shows that it has been used relatively little up to now, although there are | some branches which will have to re- sort to it in the absence of some help. Other Remedies Tried. As a general thing, the heads of es- have sought to apply other remedies rather than place an additional burden on employes, who, without exception, suffered the loss of a month’s pay under the legislative fur- lough provision of the act. Transfer of funds, non-filling of vacancies, vol- untary furloughs taken by employes, and retrenchment along other lines have proved saving measures in some instances. There are four departments, eight independent agencies, and the Execu- tive Office, for which the budget car- ries estimates for funds to avert ad- ministrative furlough next year. Commerce asks $608.730; Justice, $184,850; State, $243,750, and Labor, $44.660, which is specified, and an un- designated amount from a blanket ap- | propriation of $1450,000, which covers also deportation funds. The apportionment of Commerce fol- lows: Office of Secretary, $40,000; Bu. reau of Foreign and Domestic Com- merce, $156,310; Bureau of Navigation and Steamboat Inspection, Byreau of Standards, $188,720; Bureau of Lighthouses, $74,000; Coast and Geo- detic Survey, $46,600, and Bureau of Fisheries, $11,000. Justice: Office of the Secretary, $126,000; Bureau of Prisons, $13,760; Judicial ($7,230 for Supreme Court and $12,860 for Court of Claims), $20,090, and miscellaneous, $25,000. State: Foreign Service $243,750. Labor: Office of Secretary, $8,0f Bureau of Labor Statistics, $10,000; Employment Service, $26,660, and, in the Bureau of Immigration, whatever amount is applied out of the lump ap- propriation of $1,450,000. ‘The Executive Office is asking $6,180, and the independent agencies would re- ceive the following: Board of Tax Ap- peals, $30,090; Commission of Fine Arts, $683; Employes' Compensation Commission, $18,500; Farm Board, $200,000; Power Commission, $433; In- terstate Commerce Commission, $753,- 163; Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks, $115107, and United States Geographic Board, $742. Furlough Not Taken. As far as the departments are con- cerned, Commerce has takén no ad- ministrative furlough yet, but has 30 to 40 days in_ prospect after the first of the year; Labor expects some will be necessary, and the same goes for Justice, which has had recourse to this plan in some few instances. State, through other economies, is escaping. These four, with Interior, were slashed worse than any of the departments, suffering a blanket 10 per cent reduc- tion in appropriations. In Interior, however, transfer of funds kept the employes from feeling the full force of the cut. As a general proposition, the other agencies for which the earmarked es- timates are made in the Budget have felt or bid fair to feel the pinch of ad- ministrative furlough, whether admin- istered under a uniform plan, or offset by employes voluntarily going on pay- less leave. While the estimate proposed to elim- inate furloughs at the Interstate Com. merce Commission next year is $753,- 163, the Budget shows a net decrease there for personal services of $336,882, and heralds a renewed effort to limit the operations of the Bureau of Valu- ation by the statement that “a drastic reduction occurs in valuation of prop- officers, services being reduced $482,158." ‘Thus far, the Commission has averted administrative furlough, but an amount as yet undetermined is said to be in ospect. At the Pederal Trade Commission, ‘which, this past July, cut off & sizeable group of employes, mostly temporary, as a series of investigations neared conclusion, a continuation of this pol- icy was forecast in the Budget esti- mate which pointed to “a reduction of $219,353 for personal services, due to practical completion of certain major investigations undertaken in compli- ance with congressional resolutions.” Civil Service Reduction. The Civil Service Commission appro- priation for the current year was cut to the bone, and gets the same treat- ment for the next year, according to the Budget estimate, which specifies that “No funds are included in any estimate for 1934 to offset administra- tive, furloughs for 1933.” Coupled with the Economy Act saving of $111,435 for personal services, it is specified that the number of employes will be re- duced by 39. In urging the change in present pro- cedure requiring written authorization or approval of the President for filling vacancies, President Hoover says this “is a detail of administrative responsi- bility which should be restored to the heads of departments and establish- ment where it has uniformly rested in the past.” Continuing, he adds: “The estimates of appropriations for 1934 provide only for the personnel needed under the existing organiza- tional set-up. If vacancies occur which confident. that we can rely upon the heads of the departments and estab- filled. I feel that we are weakening the responsibility which should de- volve upon and be intrusted in the heads of the departments and estab- lishments by requiring the Chief Ex- ecutive to authorize or approve in writ- ing the filling of any vacancies which may occur in their personnel.” 7 T A Oppose British Expert.

Calif,, December 7.— | Detectives announced today they be- lieved they were near a solution to the slaying of Capt. Walter Wanderwell, globe trotter, suspected German spy and | soldier of fortune, as they broadcast a Nation-wide appeal for the appre- hension of “Curley” Guy, identified as the “man in gray.” Guy emerged from a medley of sus- pects and motives as the central figure in the investigation when Mrs. Wander- well told officers he recently fough’, with Wanderwell and threatened th: life of he globe trotter. Guy, she said, was a former companion of her husband on & South American trip. Photograph Identified. Harry Greenwood, gambling ship em- | ploye, identified a photograph of Guy as | that of “the man in gray” whom he | saw on a pier early yesterday shortly after Wanderwell was slain in the un- lighted captain’s cabin of his yacht Carma. The vessel was docked along- | side the pier on the eve of its departure lon a world cruise with a motley crew | of adventures. A man garbed in gray ihad inquired for the captain of the | vacht shortly before Wanderwell was shot in the back. Guy. Mrs. Wanderwell said, had quar- reled with her husband over finances. Mrs. Wanderwell's story of her slain husband’s differences with Guy was cor- roborated in Seattle by Eugene A. Bab- | bitt. who said the man had attempted | to kil Wanderwell during the fight. Seattle police sought two men acquaint- | ances of Guy in an effort to locate | him. While this development took place the group of adventurers which had signed on as members of the crew— pretty women, some of them authors, some of them waitresses, and a col- lection of men, ranging in class from a scion of British nobility to roust- about seamen—huddled in the dank and untidy cabins of the Carma. Cruise Delayed. The party, including eight women and seven men. had been held by Long Beach police for nearly 24 hours as “material witnesses.” that each might be questioned and cleared of the killing. Capt. Wanderwell—the erstwhile Va- lerian Johannes Pieczynski, German- Pole, world wanderer, adventurer and accused of war-time spylng—had pur- chased the former rum runner at a Government auction. The 15 adventurers had signed on as members of the crew in order to avoid conflict with maritime laws, since Fed- eral authorities had declared the Carma unseaworthy and had threatened to stop the voyage. They were Lord Edward Eugene Mon- tagu, second son of the Duke of Man- chester, of London, a “remittance man”; Capt. James E. Farris of Port- land, Oreg., captain of the craft; Miss Ruth Loucks of Portland, fiancee of Capt.

NEW YORK, December 7.—The first 100 per cent scientific proof of the spe- | cific diet which will preserve teeth, | namely phosphorus and vitamin D, was credited yesterday to two missionaries to China, Dr. and Mrs. R. Gordon Agnew. Their announcement of the final step in 10 years' research, experiments on 350 children, was hailed by Dr. E. V. MeCollum of Johns Hopkins University, | one of the world’s foremost dieticians, as a “milestone in scientific progress.” Their work, he said, eliminates con- fusion about the diet needed for teeth. Vitamin D comes from sunshine and cod liver oil, or their substitutes. The phosphorus foods in order of their rich- ness are egg yolk, milk, meats, leafy vegetables and the seeds, grains, roots and tubers. Saliva Important Factor. The saliva, Dr. McCollum said. is probably the means of tooth protec- tion, through phosphorus it receives from the blood. E The diet announcements were made at a luncheon given by the board of governors of the West China Univer- sity, to which the Agnews are returning. Dr. Agnew said they found their clue in analysis of 3,000 diets of Chi- nese and Tibetans, who have better teeth than Americans. They re- turned to the University of Toronto for scientific investigation and were able to cause 100 per cent decay in teeth of rats by diet alone. Finally this year the feeding of chil- dren began. Decay was not oply pre- vented among those with the rich phosphorus-vitamin D balance, but de- cay already started stopped its progress. “The significant fact,” said Dr. Mc- Collum, “is that the Agnews for the first, time, consciously and under scien- tific control, have succeeded in produc- ing and preventing dental caries (decay) practically at will, and to a degree ap- proaching 100 per cent. Their work gives further strength to the conclu- sion that dental caries can be largely, perhaps, wholly prevented by correct eating. Misconceptions Cleared. “The Agnew work enables us to dis- pose of certain misconceptions more or less widely held in the past. The pop- ular belief that tooth decay is due to impaction and fermentation of food within fissures of the teeth is doubtless true in certain cases. We will probably never be able to do without the tooth- brush. “One of the oldest, most widely held and most erroneous popular beliefs has been that tooth decay is largely due to | adds. eating too much sugar and other sweets. Although sugar itself does not decay teeth, sweet-eating contributes indi- rectly because sugar satiates the ap- petite so quickly that a lack of the more essential food elements usually results. The Agnews appear to have conclusively demonstrated this truth in the experimental research they have Just reported. “Another theory that gained wide acceptance is that decay is caused by a deficiency of vitamin C. It has nothing to do with the primary cause of dental caries. “The inference to be drawn from this research work is that if we get an adequate supply of vitamin D, drink plenty of milk and eat plenty of vege- tables and other foods rich in phos- phorous, nearly all of us can avoia dental caries.” Asked after the luncheon to suggest a specific diet, Dr. McCollum specified a quart of milk daily, e several times a week, a leafy vegetable at least once a day, and a salad twice a day, and “after them anything you like.” R Asparagus Sandwiches.

Long of Louisiana yes- terday proposed Senator Norris, Repub- lican, cf Nebraska as leader of a bloc to carry out a program of redictribution of wealth, unless Democratic leaders prove willing to undertake the work.

Renewing his warfare of last session on the Democratic leadership cf Sena- tor Robinson of Arkancac, Long said “we should find out if the leadership on the Democratc side of this chamber is attuned with the people and, if it isn't, remove it.” ‘The Leuigianan said that if those de- siring to carry out the redistribution of wealth program united behind the leadership of Norris the country would know “we are trying to carry out the promise of the President-elect.” Long's speech, coming directly after the reading of President Hoover's annual message, in which a sales tax was recommended, was in the na- ture of a reply to that address. “There seems to be quite a little an easy, quiet way,” he said.

It included: Higher taxes than during the war on incomes of $500,000 and more. Prohibition of inheritances of more than "a few millions.” Government control and ownership of the farm surplus, with legislation to prevent the “farm supply” from ex- ceeding the “farm consumption.” Provision of a medium of exchange “sufficient to carry on the business of this country.” DR.

ART SHOW ENTRIES FACE TWO JURIES Modernist and Conservative Groups to Select Paintings for Chicago Exhibit. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, December 7.—The Art Institute, preparing for its thirty-sev- enth annual Chicago exhibition, will offer the art world a new departure this year in the use of two juries, one mod- ernist, one conservative, to decide on the admissability of paintings. In announcing the new plan today trustees said it was an experiment de- vised to obviate complaints of bias which accompany most shows, Must Specify Jury. Each artist submitting a painting must specify which jury he wants to judge it. If he considers it modern- istic, he must submit to jury 1, com- posed of Prancis Chapin, Louis Rit- man and Flora Schofield. If he con- siders it in the conservative tradition, he will mark it for jury 2, Edgar Cam- eron, Rudolps Ingerle and Pauline Palmer. In passing on the paintings each judge holds a small electric button in his hand, which he presses to mark his approval. The ballots are_electrically recorded. If all approve, the painting is admitted; if only two, it is set aside; if only one, it is rejected. Art institute shows for the last few years have been under modernistic dominance after a number of modern- ists, rebelling against a previous con- servative bias, had set up an independ- ent show in a nearby department store which turned out to be so good that it overshadowed the institute’s display. 14 Prizes to Be Awarded.

LONDON, December 7.—That part of President Hoover's message to Con- gress dealing with war debts was dis- couraging to the London press, but his reference to the co-operation of nations | was warmly welcomed. Commenting on the President’s ref- erence to the overcoming of temporary exchange difficulties, the Times said: “There is only one method whereby these difticulties can be overcome, namely, accepting payment in goods and services, and it is perfectly certain Mr. Hoover will not suggest this, and that Congress would nou consider it a moment iu he did, * * * “The only practical alternative is to pay 1n goid.” Among results of payment in gold, the Times saw the impossibility or Great Britain returfling to the gold standard for a long time.
