THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, 1050 Impossible for M.C.’s to Live On $15 a Week, Two Declare Scotch Member of Parliament, Who Lives on Sum, Would Find Things Different in Maybe Willie Gallacher, M. P,, can keep going on $15 a week, but— He lives in London, and besides he was born in Scotland. If he were an M. C. and had to spend most of his time in Washington he would find it hard to save a nickel out of his $10,000 a year. Washington is the most expensive city in the United States, and it has | no accommodations such as Mr. Gal- lacher finds in Westminster for $4.85 a week. Bryon Scott, M. C, for instance, Calif, on a teacher's pay of $2400 a | year as he manages on his legislator's stipend plus 40 cents a mile travel ex- penses to and from the Pacific, plus $5,000 for clerical hire. B. J. Gehrmann, M. C,, finds it so difficult to stretch his pay to cover his needs that he has to keep most of his family down on the farm in Wis- consin. “That's no kind of family life,” he commented, “but I'd be in a tight hole if T had to support them all here.” Mr. Gallacher, Scotch Communist | - representing the Paisley district in the | House of Commons, whose pay is 400 | pounds sterling a vear, told his col- “Lucky Fellow,” Says Scott. “Lucky fellow,” said Representative Scott, Democrat “It's & lot different over here.

And remember, I have a family of mother, brother and two sisters who stay with me. “That Scotchman gets along for breakfast with tea, toast and marma- lade. Well, I like bacon and eggs, something substantial. “He pays 1 pound a week for a room, I pay $125 a month for a house. He smokes four ounces of tobacco a week, I use two cartons of cigarettes a week “He sits in a two-bit seat in the movies. It seems to me I usually pay about 66 cents and always take some- body with me. “Besides, I wonder if he ever had to go to & $100 dinner for the party. I wonder, too, if he ever looks in on a night club.” Gehrmann, Progressive, has been a dairy farmer in Northern Wisconsin for 22 years.

I'm always on the go. I have to buy & new car every year. It takes about half of my $10,000 to get elected and stay elected. “A bed’s & luxury in this city. I think I'm lucky, you know. I got a place down on Potomac avenue where I live with my daughter and secretary for only $80 a month. I used to be in a hotel in a room just big enough to yawn in, and it cost me $95. “I don't eat much for breakfast, but it costs me 40 cents, anyway. There's another 50 cents for lunch. Dinner, that's different, that's big, but I try to get 1t at home.” Booster for District. Gehrmann is a great booster for his district, which contains such di- versified claims to fame as 640 charted lakes, the site of the Little Bohemia shooting and the place where Jimmy Braddock trained. But the district is right in the drought belt, too, and Gehrmann's dairy farming hasn't paid its way for four years. “I have to send a lot of my money home to keep the farm up,” he said. “My wife and my sons stay out there. I'd naturally like to have them here, but my heavens, on $10,000?7 There wouldn't be anything left.” WINNERS SELECTED Winners in the senior groups of the annual Young Men's Christian Asso- clation Bible story contest, held Sat- urday night in the Central “Y” Build- ing, were as follows: Miss Evelyn Kraft of Calvary Bap- tist Church, first place for girls; Miss Betty Jean Hyman of Petworth Bap- tist Church, second; Joseph Gulick, jr, of Chevy Chase Baptist Church, first place for boys, and Robert An- derson of Petworth Baptist Church, second.
