WASHINGTON, Feb, 18.—There was\a lively verbal clash in the House to-dity when Congressman Hull, chairman at the Committee on Military Affaires called up the report on the Army Ap-+ propriation bill, Congressman Hay, one of the con- ferees, strenuously opposed the adoption of the report because of the provision for retirement of \army officers who served In the Civil War, with an ad- ditional grade, and the provision per- mitting army officers to dep: thei money with the Government, such de- posits to draw 3 per cent. Interest, Mr Hay expressed the opinion that the latter provision would establish a dan- kerous precedent; that it would lead to the granting of the same privilege to naval officers, and might be extended to civil employes of the Government. He characterized it “paternalism run mad." Congressman Slayder, of Texas, charged Mr. Hull with bad faith tn not giving the House a chance for a direct vote on the deposit amendment. He said Mr. Hull had promised such a vote. “I desire to say,” interpose!
