B—4 ACTONSCHEDULED ONTREASURY PAY Committee Meets Tomor- row to Consider Compro- mise on McKellar Rider. The Senate Appropriations Com- mittee will meet tomorrow morning to act on the Treasury-Post Office supply bill, to which a subcommittee has attached a compromise plan for paying the 1,200 Treasury employes who have been performing their duties without pay since December 1, due to a restriction placed on current ap- propriations. Under the compromise, all of the employes will receive the money due them, but after May 15 between 400 and 500 of them would be dropped from the service. The McKellar rider of last year was originally interded to affect about 720 employes of the abolished Prohibition Bureau who | were later re-employed by the Treas- | ury to enforce the new liquor laws. ! These employes will get their pay for the past three months and for the. future. As to the 720 around whom the dispute started, all will be paid until May 15, after which cnly thote who passed the new examination would be eligible to continue on the pay roll, if the compromise is adopted. A new and separate personnel prob- lem was brought to the attention of the subcommittee yesterday by Sen- ator Dickinson, Republican, of Iowa. It was an amendment to have the salary classification act reapplied to several hundred employes ot the in-| solvent bank division. The informa- | tion laid before the subcommittee was to the effect that one of the recent| banking laws contained a provision which placed these employes outside the classification act. The committee will pass on this question before re- porting the bill tomorrow.

The answer is simple. Whenever leg- | islation for Gravelly Point is before a committee of Congress and its many obvious advantages have been pre- sented, those desiring to sell other sites to the Government intervene, request inspection of their sites and | have on several occasions asked for a special commission to investi- gate and report later.

JUDICIARY SQUARE ACTION PROMISED IN SENATE GROUP| (Continued From First Page.) court buildings in Judiciary Square the District property on Pennsylvania avenue between Third and Sixth streets could be disposed of to the Federal Government for future new buildings, such as a new General Ac- counting Office. The question of fu- ture use of the original Municipal Center site is not dealt with, however, in the pending bill. It developed at the hearing that the Commissioners have in mind three court buildings in Judiciary Square, one for Police Court, one for Munici- pal Court and a third building large enough to house Juvenile Court and the recorder of deeds office. Engi- neer Commissioner Dan I. Sultan said the three buildings would cost ap- proximately $3.000,000. Chairman King inquired whether the people of the District would be willing to meet the cost of proceed- ing with the court buildings if it de- velops a P. W. A. loan cannot be ob- tained. “We are willing to meet the cost, but not all in one year,” Mr. Yaden replied. “We would want to discuss further with you the question of the terms. Attorney John E. Laskey, support- ing the bill on behalf of the District Bar Assoclation, agreed with Mr. Ya- den, but also stressed the point that the cost should not have to be met all at one time. Among others who indorsed the general purpose of the bill were A. J. Driscoll of Mid-City Citizens, Louis Justement of the Board of Trade, Gil- bert Rodier, chairman of a commit- tee of the local chapter, Institute of Architects, and Harry S.

Halpert, in the news as the “boy broker” when he was jailed on fraud charges 13 years ago, today furnished $5,000 bail to await extradi- tion proceedings as a suspect in a $1,500,000 Chicago brokerage swindle. Halpert went to Philadelphia police with the information that he under- stood the Chicago authorities were looking for him. Bail fixed at $25,- 000 was reduced when evidence was given that Halpert has been living in Philadelphia since his release from prison 10 years ago, and could not be classed as & ll‘)‘lflv& about by the dime novels and various horror stories upon which were de- veloped the imaginations of the past | generation.

There is no curb of reality placed on the imagination, Dr. Ewerhardt said. The tendency is for the chil- dren to live more and more in a world of dreams and phantasy from which eventually they may not be able to escape. In problem children he has found a distinct relationship between what the individual sees, hears and does. In one case he traced an attempt of some imaginative schoolboys to derail a train to such an episode in a moving picture thriller which was running in the city at the time, ‘This, Dr. Ewerhardt said, is in ad- dition to the extreme nervous stimula- tion of the radio thrillers which rob children of sleep, outdoor play, hours of study and lead to nightmare-like dreams, GOERING AND ACTRESS WILL MARRY APRIL 11 Hitler's Right-Hand Man Issues Long-Expected Announcement of Engagement.

PROPOSED BY KNOX Publisher Offers Program to “Get America Back on the Pay Roll.” By the Assoclated Press. ROCK ISLAND, Ill, March 9.—To a Republican party he greeted as “de-loused” and made clean by ad- versity, Frank Knox, publisher of the Chicago Daily News, tonight ten- dered a program and slogan for re- covery: “Get America Back on the Pay Roll!” Addressing the John Ericsson Re- publican League of Illinois in annual convention, Knox lambasted the N. R. A, the Government's failure to balance the budget, and demanded for banks and business freedom from po- litical domination. ‘He flung a dart at the President's relief plan, remarking: Raps Relief Work Fund. “We know that under the ski'lful guidance of Jim Farley and his assist- ants the $4,000,000,000 work-relief fund will constitute a huge campaign fund employed to control the next elec- tion.” The “baby bond” issue Knox termed “thinly disguised currency in- flation.” “For nearly the first time,” the Chi- cago publisher told his Republican audience, “we meet unvexed by the burden of support of the great selfish combination which seek monopoly, and the so-called leaders of finance who seek Government advantage. They have, happily deserted cur ranks. En masse, they have gone over to the Democratic party where the pickings are good.” Attacking the N. R.

If the Republican party is to furc- tion successfully as an opposition party, Knox averred, it must stand for: A free, independent tystem of banking and credit, a stable gold standard; equality of protection to the agriculturist and industrialist alike; economy in public affairs; re- pudiation of the theory of “spending ourselves back into prosperity,” a balanced budget, protection for the victims of depression and drought.

Expenditures Can Be Prevented. By the Associated Press. A swell of opposition to increased military expenditures is developing in the Senate to dash against the big Army sentiment that put across the $400,000,000 War Department appro- priation bill. “We can defeat any plan to use P. W. A. funds for military purposes,” sald Senator King, Democrat, of Utah. “That would be an outrage in view of.the enormous appropriations already made for the Army and the Navy, and more contemplated.” Reminded that Senator Borah in- troduced an amendment to the relief bill barring use of any of the pro- posed $4,880,000,000 for military pur- poses, King declared: “I will fight for that.” Similar support for legislation to shut the Army and Navy out of the P. W. A. coffers was voiced by Senator Pope, Democrat, of Idaho. “Certainly there will be legislation to prevent military profiteering out of public works funds,” Pope said. Meantime the Senate Munitions Committee, In recess for two weeks, planned to reopen hearings Tuesday by calling Willilam B.

By the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 9.—Gov, Martin L. Davey tonight carried his relief administration controversy with the Federal Government direct to the people of Ohio. In a broadcast he charged that “autocratic Federal control” of reliet administration in the State “extends even to the expenditure of money fur- nished by the State of Ohio.” The executive, maintaining the State had no jurisdiction whatever over relief matters, said all rules for relief “are made by theorists in Wash- ington and other theorists in Colum- bus who are the agents of the Fed- eral Government.” Concerning Federal Rellef Admin- istrator Harry L. Hopkins, Davey said: “If he will be courageous enough and falr enough to eliminate the inexcus- able waste and inefficlency in the Ohio_relief program, the people of this State will be willing to dig down businesslike, economical and humane relief program.” Referring to his request that the Federal Government take over the relief set-up in the State, Davey said: “I insist that they must assume public responsibility.” RIRIRRLERRRRRR Springtime Is Spray Time p g'i We Are Equipped to Satis- % factorily Hamdle Your % Spraying Requirements at 2, Reasonable Cost.
