I00PLANESTOFLY THE SUNDAY BTAR, WASHINGT Smith College Students Feted SOUTH FOR “WAR”. | Leave Langley Tomorrow for Maneuvers Under Battle Conditions. (Coprright, 1935, by the Associated Press.) Nearly 100 fighting planes will wing southward at dawn tomorrow for & month's aerial invasion of the Gulf Coast States. “For the first time in the history of military aviation, an zerial armada | will take the air prepared to carry out mimic warfare in the skies under | as near actual war conditions as pos- sible,” said Maj. B. Q. Jones, com- mander of the second wing of the! nearly organized General Headquarters Air Force. “When we hop from Langley Field, we will be nearly 100 strong—bomb- ers, pursuit fighters and cargo planes —and we will carry our own camp; equipment, supplies and fuel for four weeks’ sky maneuvers over 5,000 miles ; of terrain. Two “Armies” Unleashed. “Over Miami, Tampa, Tallahassee, | Montgomery and Atlanta, or some- where near, we will stage prearranged tactical aerial maneuvers. Two of three of those ‘dog fights, however, will not be prearranged. Half of the planes will be designated as the ‘Red’ wing and the other half as the ‘White’ wing and told to go to it.” Maj. Jones explained that the planes would carry camera guns and every hit would be photographically regis- tered. “It will be a real 4est,” he said, “to see how quickly a large aerial unit can concentrate in an emergency, what is necessary for a sustained flight into enemy country, and what happens when some of the boys meet the other fellows.” Hale Commands Bombers. ‘The second wing, commanded by Jones, is composed of the second bom- bardment group (20th, 49th and 96th Bombardment Squadrons), 8th pursuit group (33d, 35th, 36th and 37th Pur- suit Squadrons), 19th Airship Squad- ron and 58th and 59th Service Squadrons. Maj. Willis H. Hale commands the | bombers; Capt. Albert M. Guidera | the fighting planes, and Capt. Clar- ence B. Lober the lighter-than-air squadron.

PAY RESTORATION, EFFECTIVE JAN. 1, PUSHED IN HOUSE (Continued From First Page.) provisions of this order shall be the rates fixed within the respective grades decreased by the amount, if any, by which such rate would be reduced pursuant to the provisions of applicable.’ “4. The same result would have to follow the elimination of the reduc- tion as followed the 5 per centum de- crease in the percentage of cut ef- fective on February 1, 1934, and the further decrease of 5 per centum ef- fective on July 1, 1935, under section 21 of the independent offices act, 1935, So far as I know, no one failed to re- ceive his increase, Appropriation in Doubt. “Some question can arise as to| whether the proposed bill would itself | appropriate sums to enable payment | of full salary as was done by section 21 (e) of independent offices, 1935, in the case of the restoration of 5 per centum and 10 per centum. I don't think that appropriation could be held available, for it relates only to dimi- nutions under this title in the per-| centage of reduction—that is, Title II | of Independent Offices, 1935, and sec- | tion 1 of the proposed bill is not in | terms an amendment of Title II of | that act. “Section 2 does the following as of January 1, 1935: “1. It restores the statutory pay of the Vice President, the Speaker, Sen- | ators, Representatives, delegates and resident commissioners. It also re- stores the pay of persons on the rolls of the Senate and House, except clerks to members of the House. In the case of such clerks, the full clerk allow- ance is restored to the member as his clerk allowance and he can divide it among his clerks as he sees fit but cannot pay any one of them at a rate greater than $3900. The fair con- struction of this provision seems to me that the member can divide one- half of his full allowance of $5,000 among his clerks for the remainder of the fiscal year but no clerk can get compensation at a six-months’ rate of more than $1,950, rather than that the 5 per centum savings for the first six months are added to the $2,500 and that sum may be divided. “2. It eliminates the special salary reductions (Interstate Commerce Com- mission, Tariff Commission, etc.) which were reduced in section 107 of the original economy act by arbitrary “3. It .restores the compensation of officers and employes of insular pos- same percentage as that applicable to Federal officers and employes. “4, It restores the retired pay of | judges which was reduced by the per- centage applicable to other Federal officers. “5. It restores compensation bene- fits of retired employes under the act of September 7, 1916, to its full | amount. “6. It restores the full amount pay- | able under private pension acts and pensions payable to persons by reason | of military service by themselves ‘or | others which was rendered prior to the Spanish-American War. These pensions were reduced by the same | amount as Government salaries. | “Some question can arise as to | whether appropriations are made by | section 21 (e) of independent offices, 1935, to enable full payment of sala- | ries, etc., and other benefits dealt with in section 2. Construed according to its literal terms, that subsection makes appropriations for these purposes, for by the terms of the subsection appro- priations are made ‘for the payment of sums due . . . by reason of the diminution under this title in the percentage of reduction of compensa- tion and other amendments to exist- ing laws made thereby’ and by the terms of section 2 of the bill, the pro- posed amendments are made to title 2 of independent offices, 1935. Con- venience and brevity in the draft dicated that such a form be adopted | for section 2, so that I do suggest that if there is a definite policy with re- spect to whether or not appropriations | should be available by the force of seeri’tlun 2, the point ought to\be clari- “Don’ts” in Measure. Representative Boylan, continuing | his statement, emphasized that the bill does not do the following: “It does not repeal any of the so- called ‘personnel provisions.’ This in- cludes the temporary provisions such | as those reducing travel allowances | (including travel allowances for mem- bers of Congress), reducing witnesses’ and jurors’ fees, etc., and the per- manent provisions such as reduction of annual leave with pay to 15 days, increasing charges and fees, the ‘mar- ried women'’s clause’ and others. “It does not restore the re-enlist- ment allowances suspended by section 18 of Treasury-Post Office, 1934. These allowances might be classified as compensation reductions, although they have been treated as personnel provisions. “It does not allow the period during R Ignition, Starting, Lighting Beldon Ignition Cables MILLER-DUDLEY.: 16 144 ST.NW.

(Continued From First Page.) 13 Democratic leaders Priday night, it was authoritatively developed yester- day that: ‘The President virtually has given up hope of stopping passage of the sol- diers’ cash bonus in the House and plans to bring pressure on the Demo- cratic dominated Senate to prevent its overriding a certain veto. Bonus Not Discussed. The House Ways and Means Com- mittee, in the words of Chairman Doughton, Democrat, of North Caro- lina, will take up the bonus as soon as it can with due consideration to other important matters without “de- lay or dodge.” The bonus issue was not discussed at the White House conference. Existing excise taxes lapsing or be- ing reduced on July 1 and returning some $416,000,000 in revenue annually are to be continued permanently, with some possible revision. Administrative features of the in- come tax law are to be revised and additional internal revenue agents will be allowed in an effort to increase col- lections by some $100,000,000. Efforts are to be made to eliminate | duplication of Federal, State and local taxes, and inquiry into which already has been ordered by Secretary Mor= genthau. The N. R. A. is to be continued with certain modifications to make it more workable and probably to eliminate price fixing and production control. Bank Legislation Studied. Banking legislation has not yet been considered by the President, since it is still being studied by the Emergency Executive Council, but it will be inserted late on the schedule. A St. Lawrence waterway treaty, revised to meet objections that caused rejection of ratification 64 to 42 last year, will be presented to the Senate for early action. Consolidation of all forms of inter- state transportation regulation under one agency also will be submitted with no final presidential decision as yet reached whether the Interstate Com- merce Commission or some other body will administer new laws governing rallroads, motor, waterway, pipeline al related modes of transportation.
