In the present pay-cut controversy, which threatents to scrap the 10-year- old basis for longevity pay in the Army the Army is holding down the front-line trenches. If these two House amend- ments are upheld in the Senate—the one proposed by Representative John Taber, Republican, of New York, and the other by Represenattive Willlam P. Connery, jr., Democrat, of Massachusetts —the same drastic limitations naturally will be applied also to the commissioned personnel of the Navy and Marine Corps. MacArthur Spurs Hope. Since Gen. Douglas MacArthur, chief of staff, went to the bat for all three branches of the armed services last week before the Senate Appropriations Committee, hope rides high at the War Department that the two House amend- ments will be omitted from the supply bill when it is reported out. Assurances from Senator Bingham, chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee, and others seem to indicate that this part of the fight is already won, but there are no definite assurances that the wave of * | economy wil Inot engulf the Army ap- propriation bill after it gets to the Sen- ate, or even in conference between the two Houses. Aside from the pay cut aimed directly at them, the armed services are pro- foundly agitated over the uncertain- ties involved in the Roosevelt-Sherley departmental reorganization program. Another cause for anxiety lies in the economy fight now being conducted €T | against the Treasury-Post Office ap- propriation bill. ‘The administrative reduction of 5 per cent sought in the Treasury and Post Office supply measure, if applied to the whole Federal service, would mean a loss of nearly $14.000.000 to the military ac- tivities of the War Department, which already have been reduced to a mini- mum in the House. Under any re- organization of the departments in the new administration, it is felt that the Army and Navy appropriations would be cut even more drastically. That, however, is a bridge which has not yet been reached, but the three armed services are nevertheless at the pro- verbial “Bridge of Sighs” when it comes to the pending pay cut amendments. Longevity System Hit. Aimed at the longevity system, which was adopted after long and careful in- vestigation by Congress in 1922, the Taber amendment would take from nearly half the commissioned personnel of the Army sums ranging as high as $125 a month. Adopted by the House without prior consideration in commit- tee and only about 20 minutes’ discus- sion on the floor, the amendment is the most drastic pay cut proposal ever aimed at the armed services. . To make up for the $3,500,000 loss to economy when the C. M. T. C. pro- visions were restored to the House bill, opponents succeeded in putting forth this proposal to deprive the commis- sioned officers with former National Guard and Militia service of pay earned in this way. By the elimination of all service other than commissioned in the Federal service, a long list of duty here- tofore included will no longer constitute eligibility for longevity pay. Besides the National Guard and Organized Militia, these include such service as cadetship at West Point before 1912, service as contract surgeons, pay clerks, Army field clerks and field clerks in the Quar- termaster Corps, veterinarian service, duty in the Philippine Constabulary, the Coast Guard. Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Public Health Service and the Marine Hospital Service. Gen. MacArthur is authority for the statement that not a single general, no colonels or senior lieutenant colonels would be affected by this pay-cut pol- icy. The group affected are those com- missioned between June, 1903, and the close of the World War, all veterans of that war. a matter of fact, 13 colonels would be eligible for very negli- gible reductions in pay. 8 “The general result of this amend- ment,” Gen. MacArthur told the Senate Committee, “would be that on the ac- tive list the major portion of the sac- rifice would be borne by men who were commissioned just before, during and after the World War. This group con- stitutes, in general, what is known as the ‘hump,’ every member of which had World War experience. “A Bleak Future” “They face a bleak future now in the matter of promotion, and to add this | additional burden seems uselessly unfair and unjust. “Altogether some 4,000 active officers and about 50 per cent of the retired list would be affected. Among the lat- ter group it is a tragic fact that most j of those who would suffer this reduc- tion have been retired for disability in the service of their country. One of these would lose one-third of his pres- ent pay. In the vast majority of all resentative James L. Whitley, C. F. Wilcox, F. P. Wilcox, James C. Wilkes, Ross Wilkes, Henry A.

MacArthur Ppointed out, would come on top of the reductions already made under the gen- eral economy act. In addition 81-3 per cent now being deducted, a figure ly to be in- to 10 per cent, his rental allow- ance has been reduced by 10 per cent and that for subsistence by aj mately 14 per cent. “These two reductions, we are in- formed,” he added, “are to be increased é:“t'peeomln(yurwznmduper The effects of the Taber amendment would also extend beyond the confines of the Regular Army. Every Reserve officer when called to national duty and every National Guard officer serving annual tour in camp would suffer a di- rect, and in many cases, a very con- siderable loss in pay, Gen. MacArthur explained. This type of service is spe- lly excluded for longevity purposes. ‘The alleged injustices workable under the Taber amendment are illustrated in fnx::t‘pm furnished by the War Depart- Based on the reckoning of longevity pay some lieutenant colonels would lose nothing, while others would lose up to $1,215.96; some majors noth- ing, others up to $1,716 and captains from nothing to $1,903. Fights Connery Amendment, Gen. MacArthur also protested with equal vigor against the Connery amend- ment, which limits the pay of retired officers to $3,000. Mr. Connery offered amendment in the House simply to enable him to attack officers of the Na- tional Economy League who are receiv- ing retired egl% from the Government, and_declare e intended to withdraw it. When he attempted to do so he was prevented and it was L » His amendment was aimed ostensibly at Maj. Gen. Harbord, who was able last year to draw hid retired pay and his salary also from the Radio Corpo- ration of America, while Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, Public Utilities Com- missioner of the District, and Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford, former superin- tendent of police, were deprived of their retired pay because they were drawing salary from the Government. On April 19 last there were 2,650 retired officers of the Regular Army. Of these only 89 receive retired pay in ex- cess of $5000 & year. All others re- ceive from $1,125 to $4,500. More than 1.500 of officers were retired for disability incident to the service. “In principle at least,” Gen. Mac- Arthur declared, “this amendment is another case of repudiating the under- standings and agreements this Govern- ment has maintained with the retired officer during his entire period of active service.” National Guard supporters in the Senate are rallying their forces to block these two amendments, should either one of them be reported from the Sen- ate Committee. While high service of- ficials believe the Senate will succeed in conference in killing the House amendments, there is apprehension on the score of the Taber amendment, at least, that the plea for economy mi result in its retention. ‘This, they be- lieve, would do more than any other single act in undermining the present morale of half the commissioned force in all three services.

Earlier the House had adopted an amendment by Representative O'Connor, Democrat, of New York, 63 to 60, strik- ing out the limitation. New York, 63 to 60, striking out the limitation. Just before the legislative supply bill was passed by the House, Representative Schafer sought to have the measure sent back to the Appropriations Com- mittee with instrugons to cut the total 10 per cent. was blocked by Boylan, a member of the committee, whose motion to send the bill back to eliminate $18.000 to keep the Library }:r lceznxrtu open on Sundays was de- eatéd. Defends Salary Level. Representative Sanclin, Democrat, of Louisiana, in charge of the legislative bill, told the House that Whittington's proposal to reduce Congressmen's sal- aries had been considered by the Ap- propriations Committee and that it was concluded that if the pay were further reduced that only rich men or men who permitted their campaigns to be financed by special groups could be elected to represent the people. At the outset Whittington proposed a cut in all Federal pay of 11 per cent in addition to the furlough proposal after exempting $1,000. This was ruled out of order by Representative Bul- winkle, Democrat, of North Carolina, who was presiding when Sandlin pro- tested, that it was legislation that was not germane under House rules to an appropriation bill. On the Mississippian’s amendment to cut the Senator's salaries to $7,500 the | vote was 172 to 37 and because the House was in the committee of the whole no record vote could be de- manded. Later he renewed his effort on the Representatives’ salaries and it was rejected 145 to 32. Mitchell's pro- posal to reduce the salaries to $5,000 lost 161 to 2. 'Will Fight Nepotism Later. Mitchell told newspaper men later | he did not feel the House would adopt his nepotism proposal now, but that he would make a drive for it in the next Congress. “Now is the time to sacrifice,” Whit- tington told the House, in reminding his colleagues that President-elect Roose- velt had “promised a 25 per cent cut in expenditures and since we are going to make them by cutting appropria- | a conspiracy between Congress and | tion bills this is a good way in which to start.” Describing himself as a “disinterested rver” because he is a “lame duck,” Representative La Guardia said, “This is one of the easiest of grandstand plays and I know something about grand- stand plays. “It sounds good for the boys back home,” he said, “to advocate cuts in Congressmen'’s salaries. “I don't know anything about the standard of living of the gentleman from Mississippi. but I do know that any man who fulfills his legislative du- ties has no time to engage in any trade | or profession,” La Guardia said. Add- ing that with his work, the necessity of | maintaining two residences and of ru ning a campaign every two years “it is impossible for any member to do his job on less than he is getting now.” “A Rich Man’s Club.” “I am pleading for the American | citizen,” La Guardia said, “so that he can go out and choose his Representa- tive without first getting a financial re- port on him, “We hear much about ambassadorial salaries, that only a wealthy man can take such a place. Do you want to make this a rich man’s club? “This isn't a job, it's a mission and there are some here who regard their work as a mission. Those should be free to devote themselves to this mis- slon free of economic worries about the \('eliflr‘e ofl their families.” “I simply want to bring a message to this Congress,” Mitchell said. "filaagt we owe it to ourselves and to the taxpay- ers to share part of the burdens of these times. I want to say that $5,000 to- day is worth what $10,000 was worth three years ago. “Great and worthy men were in this| Congress when they were receiv; 5,000 a year.” 4 e oy “I was the wife of & member of Con- gress when ‘the salary was $5,000,” said Representative Florence P.

You'll get oil interest lawyers, coal interests lawyers and other smart representatives of spe- cial interests. “This man is trying to put the House in a position where a poor man can't’ serve.” Royal Johnson Objects. Representative Royal C. Johnson, Re- publican, of South Dakota, who is re- | tiring from Congress March 4 volun- tarily after 18 years’ service, opposed the Whittington amendment because members had to maintain residences at | home and in Washington. | “Most members leave Congress with {less money than they had when they | came here,” he said, “and many of | them are in debt.” Johnson said members of Congress | had to “maintain a higher standard of living in Washington than they do at home.” “In fact” he said, “I would rather | live at home on $4,000 a year than on $10.000 a year in Washington. | “I don't say there is any demagoguery | in this amendment,” Johnson said, | “but I am going to vote against it be- | cause I know what your problems and the problems of your successors are | | going to be.” | “Congress ought to cut jts own salary before cutting others,” said Representa- | tive McGugin, Republican, of Kansas. “The truth of this is there has been Government employes against the American taxpayers not to reduce | salaries,” McGugin said. “If you don't balance this budget pretty “soon the Government will be defaulting its obligations.” “What does the amendment of the gentleman from Mississippi propose?” Cochran said. “It proposes to reduce the salaries of members of Congress to save the Government $795.000 a year. | That is what it is supposed to do. As I said yesterday, the author of the | amendment, who has taken a great interest in economy overnight, tried to add an amendment to the Army appro- priation bill amounting to $30.000.000, | and it would take 40 years to make up that $30,000,000 if you pass the amend- ments the gentleman from Mississippi wants to offer.” GLASSFORD WILL: SPEAK “Vagrant Youth” Topic of Civitan Club Address Tuesday.
