EMMY PUNS
GO TO CONFERENCE
Further Pay Cuts Are Barred
in Bill as Adopted by
Senate Vote.
^ (Continued Prom First Pag-p.) I
With what was left of the committee's j
original recommendation*. made aggre- 1
gf-te new savings of about S165,00;>.000.
The existing economy act, met of
which is continued for another year, i
is estimated to be raving this year I
something over $100,000,000. How many
of the new savings will finally become
law. however, .'till depends on the de- i
Clsicns of the conferees.
Reorganization Approved.
After determining yesterday after- j
noon not to cut Government salaries
any :: wer than they £ re at present, the
Senate quickly went through the re
mainder cf the bill, making the follow
ing decisions at the night session:
Approval of the reorganization plan
submitted by Senator Byrnes, Demo-!
crat, of South Carolina, authorizing ihe
President to transfer, consolidate or!
abolish any Government bureau or j
agency, except an entire executive de-1
pariment. Grd?rs issued by the Prcs- !
ident under this scetion would take,
effect 60 days after they are reported j
to Congress.
Under existing law. a simple resolu- |
tion passed by one branch of Congress |
is sufficient to r'xa a reorganization
order, but under the Byrnes plan both |
branches would have to pass a joint
resolution end this would have to go
to the President for signature. If the
President in such a case stood by his |
original order and vetoed the resolution
of disapproval, a two-thirds vote of both j
branches of Congress then would be re
quired to prevent the reorganization
from taking place. When it is consid
ered that all this would have to be
£cc:mplished within 60 days to pre- j
vent a reorganization order from going i
into effect, it i.s the broadest power ever j
given the executive on this subject.
Limited to Two Years.
An effort by Senator Ncrris, He- j
pub'ican, of Nebraska, to extend it still I
further by empowering the President to
consolidate and abolish departments as
■well as bureaus was defeated withou; j
a roll call. The Senate, however, ac- I
cepted an amendment by SenatDr I
Ccpcland. Democrat, of New York, de
daring that this power is being given j
because of the existence of "a serious
emergency" making it necessary to re- |
duce drastically all Government ex
penditures. Senator Byrnes accepted
another amendment placing a two-year
limit On these presidential powers.
The Senate also rejected without a
rcll call vote the recommendation of
the Economy Committee that 10 per
cent be cut from the checks of dis
abled veterans who receive more than
81.000 a year. The amendment first j
was modified to make the proposed cut :
8>3 per cent, but later it was stricken
out entirely, after It had been opposed
by Senator Robinson, Republican, of j
Indiana, and others.
Two days ago the Senate voted to
apply a 10 per cent cut to enlisted
personnel of the Army. Navy, Marine j
Corps and Coast Guard, but following
rejection of the new cut of 1% per
cent on civilian employes, the Senate
went back and modified the reduction
on enlisted personnel to 8 M» per cent,
to make it the same as the present re- !
duction on civilian workers.
Bingham Motion Fails.
Senator Bingham, Republican, of
Connecticut, made a last-minute effort
last night to strike from the economy
law the married persons clause, which
provides that when a reduction in force
ii necessary in any office, married per
sons must be let out first if the hus
band or wife also is in Government
service. The motion was voted down,
however, without a roll call, and the
Senate then proceeded to pass the vo
luminous bill.
This bill contains the specific appro
priations for the Treasury and Post
Office Departments, as well as the gen
eral economy program applying to the
Government service as a whole.
The Treasury and Post Office section
of the measure came from committee
carrying a total for the two depart
ments of $961,441,597. More than
$22,000,000 of this sum was eliminated j
on the floor. The largest cut was the j
ntriking out of the entire item of $19,- i
000,000 for the airmail service, pending
a study of airmail contracts, after
which it is expected some provision :
will be made. Other cuts were made I
In the Customs Bureau and Internal;
Revenue Bureau.
Interior Bill Next.
This Is the first of the regular an
nual supply bills to get through the
Senate, and will be followed today by
consideration of the Interior Depart
ment bill.

DISMISSAL OF MORE EMPLOYES
FEARED IN ECONOMY PROGRAM
State. Post Office, Commercial and Lator
Departments Expected to Be Hard
Hit by Senate Action.
Probable reduction of personnel In
four departments—State, Post Office,
Commerce and Labor—anc in the Navy
decommissioning of ships and a slowing
down of the construction and moderni
zation program was seen today as the
immediately apparent results of the new
Senate economy program.
At the same time though. It was said,
the progrr.ni that would be followed by
the incoming administration would be
the real determining factor.
The passage last night by the Senate
of the Treasury-Post Office supply bill j
embodying the policy to be followed in !
other appropriation measures, had, in
general, given department heads insuf-1
firtent time to forecast accurately Just I
what would be necessary if the House !
falls in line. i
Loam to u.smiss .tien.
That there would be a decided dis
inclination to dismiss workers was evi
dent, but those in authority were
sturrped by b^ing confronted on one
hand with the Cost gan amendment to
save 5 per cent on all appropriations j
and cn the other by the Bratton amend
ment, which will not permit this by |
reducing pay scales or resorting to fur
ther use of the furlough plan.
It was pointed out between 70 and
89 p:r cent of the average appropria
tion goes for personal services and the
rest for the expense involved in the
activity itself. This would make it
impractical to impose the whole saving
on this latter item.
For the second year in succession.
State. Commerce, Justice, Labor and
Interior will be hardest hit. it was
pointed out. as these five departments
suffered a blanket 10 per c?nt reduc
tion in the current year that was not
imposed on other departments and no
account was taken of this when the
budget for the next fiscal year was
made up.
I^cars Dismissals.
"I think this is going to force the de
partment to dismiss employes." Malcolm
Kerlin, administrative assistant to the
Secretary of Commerce, said. "There j
might be other activities on which to j
make a saving, but it looks like the j
major portion will have to be done by
reducing personnel."
A like opinion was held at the State.
Post Office and Labor Departments. ;
Two marked examples of the problem j
that is faced are in Post Office and
Treasury.
At the former the appropriation is
divided, roughly, as follows: Salaries, 70
per cent; ocean and airmail subsidies,
5 per cent; rent, supplies and miscella
neous expenses, 5 per cent, and trans
portation. 20 per cent.
The airmail item has been killed in
the Senate, but it is expected some por
tion eventually will be restored. So far
as ocean mail is concerned, there can
be a reduction, but only by mutual j
agreement between department and
contractor. The department also is
confronted with the contract problem in
renting of quarters and in some phases
of transportation costs. It would be
possible to make some saving in rail
road mail pay, but at the expense of I
slowing up movement, using storage
cars for handling mail and leaving the
distribution for the point of destina
tion instead of distributing it en route.
Surplus of Employes.
With the present volume of business,
the Post Office Department has a sur
plus of employes, it has been declared
by officials.
The Treasury appropriation includes
such "untouchable" items, so far as
any reduction is concerned, as build
ing construction and internal revenue
refunds, with the net result, it was
said, that if the expenditure for per
sonal services is not taken into consid
eration, a saving of $9,000,000 would
have to be effected out of a total of
about $34 000,000.
At the Navy Department, the mod
ernization and construction program
involves, roughly, four cruisers, three
battleships, two submarines and a half
dozen destroyers. This program would
have to be slowed up, and the Navy
also would have to discontinue enlist
ments, it was believed. There was no
figure given as to the probable number
of vessels that would have to be de
commissioned.
The same statement was made at
the Navy Department as was made by
Assistant Secretary of War Payne that
appropriations already have been cut
to the bone.
"The cut can't be made any place I
without doing damage," was the way it
was summed up by Mr.. Payne, who
said the general staff would have to
study the matter.
At neither of these establishments
was it thought that reduction of civilian
personnel would be necessary.
Mitchell Report Cited.
At the Department of Justice there
is uncertainty as to just what the out
come will be. It was recalled that
Attorney General Mitchell had said in
his annual report that the limit had
about been reached in savings, and that
a further cut would call for a new
survey of the entire situation. The
hope was expressed that it would not
be necessary to dismiss any workers,
and the same expression came from the
Interior and Agriculture Departments.
It was pointed out that, when the
current economy act was passed, de
partment heads had conferred with the
director of the budget to work out a
plan for uniform administration, which
later was incorporated in an executive
order, and that a similar action could
be expected logically when the new ad
ministration comes into power.
The executive departments and in
cent In expenditures provided for in the
Bratton plan.
The Bratton 5 per cent saving amend
ment, with this restriction, then went
through, 60 to 33. Senator Reed, Re
publican. of Pennsylvania tried to
modify the Bratton amendment so that
It would be permissive rather than com
pulsory in the case of the War and
Navy Departments, but this was beaten,
47 to 34.
dependent establishments also will face
difficulties, particularly those that al
ready have been hit.
At the Civil Service Commission it
was said the Bratton amendment would
take off about $68i000, which would
bring the commission'* funds about a
quarter of a million dollars under esti
mated needs for the next year.
SERVICE CUTS HIT
NEARLY m MEN
Reduced Pay Held Likely
Under General Econ
omy Bill.
Approximately 33.600 enlisted men of
the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and
Coast Guard, as well as nearly 10,000
retired enlisted men of these services,
are likely to receive pay cuts this year
under the general economy bill, it was
learned today.
Exempt from any cuts last year, the
Senate, however, has voted to place all
enlisted men of the services receiving
more than $1,000 a year in the same
category as civil employes of the Gov
ernment. While this $1,000 exemption
excludes all privates and most ot the
non-commissioned officers. It takes its
loll cf the higher-graded "non-coms,"
particularly those with 30 years or more
oi sen Ice.
In the Army the three top grades of
sergeants will be affected. A master
sergeant, for instance, receives from
$12ti to $157.50 a month, depending on
length oi service. Many of these vet
erans are receiving more pay than a
commissioned lieutenant. Most of the
nrsi se.geants, or technical sergeants,
win be afiected, although some only
slightly, and staff sergeants with over
10 years of service also come in for a
pay cut.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur, chief of
staff, has made the same protest against
cutting the pay of retired enlisted men
as he made in the case of retired com
missioned personnel. Their retired pay,
it is claimed, Is based on a contractual
relationship with the Government and
because oi the retired provisions, the
active pay of an officer or enlisted man
is kept smaller than it would be other
wise.
According to statistics placed In the
Congressional Record, the enlisted men
affected by the proposed pay cut are
enumerated as follows: Army, 9,155;
retired, 6,103; Navy, 19,018; retired,
3,089; Marine Corps, 932; retired, 388;
Reserves, 75; Coast Guard, 4,500; fe
tired, 356.
The Navy, it will be seen by these
estimates, greatly exceeds the Army in
the number of higher-paid enlisted per
sonnel.

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS
REQUESTED BY P.-T. A.
Improvement of the heating plant,
playground and toilet facilities at the
Henry O. Cooke School is requested in
resolutions adopted by the Parent
Teacher Association of the school at a
meeting last night.
The association declared the heating
plant at the school is unsatisfactory
and that no hot water is available.
Installation of a modern heating plant
during the coming Summer was asked.
Declaring the school playground in
"deplorable condition," the association
requested that the ground be resurfaced
and provided with drainage facilities.
The toilet facilities are incomplete and
insufficient and should be improved
and modernized, it was stated in an
other resolution.

CABINET GUESSING
Many Names Mentioned in
Connection With New
Appointments.
By the Associated Press.
MIAMI. Fla., February 8,—A merry
co-round of politics is going or down
here, with the leaders of Democracy try
ing to guess who President-elect Roose
velt and James A. Farley are going to
nick for the commanding ofllccs of the
n.*w Government
The posts of Secretary of War and
Navy are the principal offices agitating
the party leaders just now, but beneath
'he surface there is a whirl of specula
tion about who Is going to |je who In
the "little cabinet" of the Roosevelt
administration.
Many Mentioned.
Conceding that the selection of a
cabinet is solely and entirely up to the
President-elect, the Democratic chief
tains are proceeding warily in their
talk about names. It is known, how
ever, that Henry L. Stevens, former
commander of the American Legion,
and O. Max Gardner, both of North
Carolina; Senators Swanson of Virginia
and Barclay of Kentucky, Gov, Ritchie
of Maryland, and George Dern, former
Governor ot Utah, arc in the eye of
Mr. Roosevelt for these portfolios.
Meanwhile the talk goes on about the
other Government offices. This brings
up the names of Jesse H. Jones of Texas
for chairman of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation; Oscar L. Chap
man of Colorado for commissioner of
Indian Affairs; William H. Howes of
South Dakota for commissioner of in
ternal revenue, William T. Kemper of
Kansas City for Assistant Secretary of
Commerce, and Mayor Frank Murphy
of Detroit for Assistant Secretary of
Labor.
"Lame Ducks" Barred.
While all the speculation is going on
there is not the slightest indication from
Farley, who Is going to man the Demo
cratic ship of state.
This much is known, "lame ducks"
are not in order in the new adminis
tration.
"LAME DUCKS" WORRIED.
By the Associated Press.
The report from Miami that Presi
dent-elect Roosevelt intends ' to bar
"lame duck" members of Congress from
his appointments caused some concern
today among Democrats urging choice
of several colleagues Isolated in the last
elections due to reapportioned of House
representations.
Virtually the entire Democratic pha
lanx In the House and 8enator Harri
son. Democrat, of Mississippi, have
urged selection of James W. Collier of
Mississippi, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, to the Tariff Com
mission. He lost out in the reapportion
ment in Mississippi representation.
Ewin L. Davis of Tennessee, chair
man of the House Merchant Marine
Committee, and brother to Norman H.
Davis, is being boomed for a place on
the Federal Trade Commission
Representative Ruth Bryan Owen of
Florida also is being supported for some
post.
Several members have urged appoint
ment of Representative Butler B Hare
of South Carolina, chairman of the
Housr Insular Affairs Committee, as
Governor of the Philippines.

squeezed out in the reapportionment,
has the support of his State delegation
for an appointive post.

Holds National and Interna
tional Security Necessary
Accompaniment.
By the Associated Prru.
GENEVA, February 8.—National ari»
international security is an absolutely
necessary accompaniment to disarma
ment, Joseph Paul-Boncour told the
World Disarmament Conference today,
defending the French disarmament p'an
which has been assailed by the ether
great European powers.
That plan, he said, is baaed entirely
upon the League of Nations covenant
and upon the League's policy for the
organization of peace.
He recalled the persistent attempts
of France to build up security by means
of mutual assistance and non-agftres
sion pacts and by its efforts to define
and establish International penalties
for an aggressor nation.
Critics of the plan are mistaken, he
said, in asserting that It lacks any pro
posals for genuine disarmament. On
the contrary, he asserted, it proposes
reduction of naval and air forces and is
aimed at substantial reductions in of
fensive arms.
The American scheme for limiting ef
fectives. he declared, cannot be realized
without those guarantees and criteria
of security which the French plan offers.
Hopes for attainment of security
agreements the French plan proposed
have been strengthened by recent pro
nouncements of the American State De
partment and Senator Borah and by
Secretary Stimson's note to Peru giving
a warning on the Letlcia situation, M.
Paul-Boucour said. The proposal of
Maxim Lltvlnoff, Russian delegate, for
a straight definition of aggression also
has strengthened this hope, he said.
