AF0FLOP0 " FEDERAL PAY U1 Delegation Sees Byrns to § Protest Furlough and 11 (%! Per Cent Proposal. ‘(Continued Prom First Page.) —— R e e e ¥oom of the Raleigh Hotel. A special fmeeting of the Executive Council and eommittee chairmen of the Federal Bar Association also will discuss the pro- gflud legislation Monday night at the University Club. “The proposed Christmas gift of Pres- ident Hoover's recommendations that the wages of Government workers be cut does not fit in with the Yuletide spirit,” declared M. T. Finnan, secretary of the National Association of Letter Carriers, who added such a move would | be a “colossal blunder.” His statement, circularized among officers and mem- bers of the association throughout the country, declared: “To relieve the de- pression, the purchasing power of consumers must be increased, not de- creased.” Pressure to Be Brought. Members of the letter carriers’ group Were asked to telegraph their members ©f Congress, and have their friends do the same. Such a reaction, Secretary ¥Finnan said, would bring pressure to bear on every member. Asserting that the cut would "hack-, fire” in its repercussions on every busi- ness man in the whole country,” John “Arthur Shaw, president of the Amer- Acan Pederation of Government Em- ‘ployes, appealed “to the Congress and o the people of the United States not Mo still further retard the process of omic recovery, and not to yield to unjust and unwise clamor for re- jQuction in the pay of thousands of 4loyal, honest and hard-working Gov- Sernment _employes.” ! . “The best interests of all American ‘,yunnen are at stake,” Mr. Shaw said, and will not be wisely nor construct- {tvely served by continuance of the Fed- ‘eral pay cut.” “Members of the Federal Bar Asso- tiation,” William R. Valance, its presi- dent, said, “are seriously affected by the President’s recommendation that sala- ries above $1,000 be cut 11 per cent in addition to the present furlough salary Teduction. Protests against the pro- posed cuts are being received from many sources, as further salary reduc- tions seem uncalled for in view of the improved conditions which are reported throughout the country, and which should bring about recovery to normal conditions during the fiscal year end- ing July 1, 1934, during which the in- creased_cuts are proposed to be in ef- fect. Government employes in profes- sional service believe that their small income should not be subjected to this further reduction, which will seriously r their purchasing power and make it impossible in many cases for them to meet payments on mortgages on their homes and otherwise fulfill thelr obligations.” S DR T S GENERAL ELECTRIC PLANS RADIO DISTRIBUTION By the Assoclated Press.

NEEDY RURAL BOYS FLOCK TO CITIES Problem Taken Up at Meet- ing of Emergency Group and Farm Delegates. The problem presented by the farm boy who has been forced out cf his home by financial problems of his family into a nomadic life, with box- car lodgings and the like, was discussed yesterday by members of the Boys' Emergency Committee of Washingtcn and representatives of the Farmers' Conference, now meeting here. Washington is having to care for 25 or more of these young wanderers every week and they present a real problem | in the building of the future citizenship of the ccuntry, Mre. director of the Travelers’ Aid, told the gathering. “Three years ago,” she said, “most of the transient boys referred to ais were | city boys. Not more than 10 15 per cenf were from rural neighborhoods. “Today at least 50 per cent of the boys coming to us are rural boys, and they tell tales of hardships at home and on the road which are actual tragedies.” if Dahl, farmer delegate from Newman Grove, Nebr., agreed this con- dition exists, and declared in most farm communities, no program has been mapped out for these boys. “We don’t want to turn our responsi- bilities over to city welfare agencies,” he said. “We want each community to work out some sort of relief program.” “STUDY TAX PROBLEM State Legislators Take Up Subject of Duplications.

TAXLOANS Proposes Measure to Avert Foreclosures on Farm and Home Mortgages. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi today took up with members of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation a bill authorizing the corporation to lend home owners and farmers the money to pay their taxes during a period of two years, as a measure of relief. Under Senator Harrison's bill, the holders of mortgages on farms and homes must agree not to foreclose for a period of two years from the date of the loans made by the Reconstruction Corporation. It is further provided, in the event of foreclosure, the amount of the principal and interest of the loan by the Reconstruction Corporation then remaining unpaid shall constitute a pflnml_t ount lien on the mortgaged prop- erty. R. F. C. Report Asked. The Mississippi Senator said he had found much support for such a bill among members of the Senate, both Republican and Democratic, and that he believed it would be well regarded by the R. F. C. He has asked that body to report upon the bill. It was estimated by Senator Harrison | that not more than $150,000,000 would | be needed to carry out the provisions of his bill. It would not be necessary, he said, to make any appropriation, since the money could be found in the funds of the corporation. No amount which may be lent under the Harrison bill to any individual shall exceed in the aggregate an amount sufficient to pay the taxes on his home or farm property for two years. Proceeds for Taxes Only. Proceeds of such a loan must be used exclusively for the payment of taxes on the mortgaged property. The Harrison bill has been referred to the Senate Banking and Currency Committee and Senator Harrison will ask that committee, which is headed by | Senator Norbeck of South Dakota, to give the bill early consideration. Harrison said he believes adoption of this plan would be of great assistance to _home cwners and farmers now in debt and in danger of losing their property through foreclosure procedure. In effect, the Harrison plan would bring about for two years a kind of moratorium of farm ahd home mort- gages, although the mortgagees would necessarily make their interest pay- ments.

SENATORS DISCARD MILLS' BANK PLAN Leaders Continue Efforts to| Clear Way for Passage of Glass Bill. By the Associated Press. ‘The administration proposal for a new study of the’ banking question was discarded today by Senate leaders. In- stead they pressed ahead with plans | to take up again next week the Glass bill designed to strengthen the Ped- eral Reserve system and block use of reserve funds for speculation. Secretary Mills’ recommendation, in his annual report, ‘for creation of a joint congressional committee to draft ! a bill reforming the banking system found a cool reception among the Sen- ate leaders, both Republican and Democratic. They pointed out the Banking Com- mittee had spent the better part of two years studying the situation and in drafting the bill now before the Senate bearing the name of Carter Glass, Vir- ginia Democrat. Therefore, Senators interested in the Glass bill are now con- ferring to clear the way for its pas- sage by the Senate. The two biggest contzgwersies center on provisions for brancts benking within State limits and divoroement of Fed- eral Reserve member banks from their security affiliates within three years. An effort is being made to amend this to five years. Eastern and Middle Western opposi- tioh has developed to the branch bank- ing_provision. . Both problems were discussed yester- day at a conference between Glass and Senators Townsend, Republican, "of Delaware and Walcott, Republicam, of Connecticut, who wefe active in prepa ration of the bill in committee. One of the most important provisions of the Glass bill would be the creation of a huge revolving fund to liquidate closed banks. It would have a capital of $400,000,000 and borrowing power of twice that amount. Cabbages in Famed Gardens.
