900 TAX WORKERS
STILL AWAIT PAÏ
Many Risk Their Lives in
Alcohol Division, Al
though Unpaid.
BY ROBERT B. PHILIPS, JR.
How would you like to risk your
life for nothing?
That, precisely, has been the oppor
Unity Uncle Sam has afforded scores
of his 900 payless workers in the
Treasury Department Alcohol Tax
Unit since December 1, 1934.
In return for the difficult and often
dangerous task of uncovering illicit
alcohol sources, effecting the arrest
of liquor tax dodgers and prosecuting
the cases, the unsalaried workers get
—nothing. Their incomes gone, they
have become dependent upon the
credit of merchants, the aid of friends
end such odds and ends of extra work
as they can obtain.
Some Look to Relief.
Naturally, these workers are not
cpenly eligible for Federal relief,
■while there is a chance Congress will
give them back pay and reinstate
them in the Government service. But
It is not unlikely that with their re
sources exhausted, their friends and
storekeepers unable to help further,
a few families have been forced onto
charity rolls. A quixotic. situation,
with active Federal agents, many of
them vested with police powers, at the
same time receiving outside financial
Bid because the only thing they can
o»t fmm the Onvprnmpnt. is the nower
to do it favors.
Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau
has been before the Treasury Appro
priations Subcommittee of the Senate
this week, fighting for the rights of
the payless hundreds.
He has advanced the argument that
the present workers should be given
full status, because they know the
work, in which it would take new men
months to become efficient; that the
method whereby the 900 were dis
qualified, would demoralize the civil
service employes as a group, if they
believed they could be similarly ruled
out by congressional action, and that
there are hundreds of cases in various
stages of investigation which would
collapse if the present force of men
was eliminated.
Hints of Misery.
Since it is not considered proper
for cabinet officers to argue senti
mental reasons before the Senate, he
did not go into the misery suffered
by the workers and their families in
the last three months. His attitude
did indicate, however, that dur
ing that time, when they were crowd
ing their families into smaller apart
ments, patching up old clothes,
borrowing from friends and even cut
ting rations for their children to a
minimum, the 900 turned in an en
forcement record which made him
desirous of keeping them in the serv
ice.
The 900 have, as a whole, fulfilled
their duties and taken the usual risks
as if the pay envelope was full twice
a month, rather than non-existent.
There has been some slight interrup
tion of morale, one of the division
chiefs pointed out. because the men
occasionally find a day or two of out
side work. In New York, for exam
ple. several did not show up at the
office during the first couple of days
of the recent blizzard. They had jobs
shoveling snow.
Two Spurned Bribes.
Two other men were offered bribes
by an illicit alcohol dealer in Syracuse
recently. They were proffered $250
a month each, as a regular salary, to
overlook the shipments of alcohol they
had detected in movement! The man
who offered the bribe was not only
indicted for ta xevasion, but the
prand jury returned an indictment
against him for offering a bribe to a
Federal officer. The pair, living from
h^nd to mouth, await a chance to
send him to Jail for offering them
money they sorely needed.
Realizing the workers cannot pos
sibly hold out much longer. Secretary
Morgenthau is pressing for their im
mediate relief by congressional action.
If nothing is done, he says the Gov
ernment will lose more money by in
efficiency and disruption of normal
procedure than the back pay would
cost.
Pulaski Day Approved.
The Couzens bill authorizing the
President to proclaim October 11 each
year Gen. Pulaski's memorial day in
commemoration of the death of the
Revolutionary War hero, was passed
yesterday by the Senate and sent to
the House. Pulaski died October 9,
1779, as a result of wounds received
at the siege of Savannah.

GROW NEW HAIR
.V jr
HERE
AND
AND
6et rid of that old-fashioned idea that hair cannot be re
frown. Science haa found that the hair-growing structure
(papilla) remains alive and ready to respond to proper
stimulative treatment even long after hair has disappeared
from the scalp.
Thomas has fonnd a way to stimulate this dormant hair
growing structure to normal activity. First, Thomas treat
ment removes the causes of inactivity (usually one or more
of 14 local scalp disorders) and then skillfully supplies the
necessary stimulation and thus makes it possible for the
hair to gain sufficient strength to push through the follicle
and become visible again on the scalp.
Come in person to the nearest Thomas office TODAY and
learn more about this precise, reliable method of growing
hair, stopping hair-fall, and ending dandruff. No charg·
will be made for consultation or scalp examination. Tott
will not be accepted for treatment unless your case comer
within the scope of Thomas methods.

Forward Load Distribution is ob- i
tained by mounting front springs 4
inches ahead of front axle and mor·

This, together with the spacebar·
leg V-8 engine, permits more of
the load to be placed ahead of the
rear axle, more weight on front end.
ADVANCED TRUCK FEATURE
Trucking catered « sew en of econ
omy when Ford engineers gave you
the V-8 truck engine, the full-floating
rear axle and the other truck-built
features that are today saying money
for thousands of Ford V-8 users.
For 1935, Ford engineers have added
improvements that enable you to make
oew demands on your truck—that will
further reduce your operating and
