The emergency officers’ retirement act has been made flexible to the point where “nearly every doctor in Washington is on the pay roll" of the Veterans Administration, according to Louis Johnson, national commander of the American Legion. Speaking before the Baltimore American Legion and auxiliary members last night, Johnson admitted his organization was responsible for the act, but declared extending the full provisions was intended only for about 700 “battlefield casualties." The legion has been harshly criticized of late, but its foes have been defeated, he declared.

WORKERS House Lenient With Independent Offices, But Battle Goes on in Other Wing With Congress now beginning its final month of a session which, from the standpoint of Government workers at least, has been one of the most momentous since 1923, organized Federal employees will begin on Monday a final drive to oppose unfavorable legislation now coming to a head. The Federal workers henceforth will concentrate most of their ammunition on the Senate. The House Appropriations Committee and the House itself did not play nearly the havoc with the first of the departmental appropriation bills — Treasury-Post Office—that had been feared. And this bill, while today in danger of slashes on the Senate floor, at least still retains many favorable modifications of the much berated economy act. The House yesterday adopted without deduction the report on the Supply bill for the Executive Office and the independent offices, giving all employees hope that the measure, going now before the Senate Appropriations Committee, will be given leniency and thus set a precedent. The independent offices bill, as passed by the House, actually provides $2,015,104 more for 1934 than for 1933, although $1,657,522 less than the Budget Bureau had estimated. The Federal Trade Commission suffered the worst slash, a cut of $956,500, getting only $510,000, one-third of last year’s funds. The General Accounting Office was slashed $344,620 in the House bill adopted, and the Civil Service Commission $83,016. However, furloughs and other savings will absorb most of such cuts. The total voted for all offices was only $1,657,522 under the budget estimate. The Trade Commission is badly crippled, but the other offices did not fare badly, they feel. Today and during the next few days, the real test will come in the Senate wing, with more pay cuts debated and with Brattan, Robinson, McKellar and other economy-minded Senators challenging every listed item. And with only one more month to go, the entire Congress, as well as all Federal employees, are preparing for the climax of the big fiscal battle. Former U. S. Envoy, A. D. Barlow, Dead Andrew Dickson Barlow, 70, U. S. Consul General in Mexico during the administrations of McKinley and Roosevelt, died in Garfield Hospital yesterday after an abdominal operation January 3.

Houser, vice president of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, St. Louis, Mo.; and Hunter Turner, vice president of the Mississippi Valley Trust Company, also a St. Louis concern. He was associated with the Massachusetts Accident Company, of Boston and lived in the 1300 block of M St. N.W. HAYES DESCENDANT WEDS MR. AND MRS. ALAN G.

SO 'PAPER BOYS' TOSEENY. Fifty outstanding carrier boys of The Washington Times and Herald will leave the Union Station Sunday at 7:30 a.m. for New York to be guests at a program in which the metropolis will be shown to them in an interesting and educational manner. RKO Keith’s theaters will entertain them at the Radio City Music Hall with the film of the season, “The Sign of the Cross.” DeMille, great master of screen spectacle-drama, has made the most exciting and glamorous picture of his career in this film taken from Wilson Barrett’s famous play. Heading the cast of 7,500 are Frederic March as Marcus Superbus; Elissa Landi as the Christian girl, Mercia; Claudette Colbert as the amorous empress, Poppaea, and the brilliant Charles Laughton as Nero himself. Hundreds of lions, tigers and elephants appear in the arena. After the theater, the boys will be the guests of W. F. Carey at the hockey game at Madison Square Garden between the league leaders and traditional rivals, which will be the first. Hockey game ever seen by most of the boys. GRANTEIRDERED TO COLLEGE Seventy-five officers, representing 12 branches of the service, have been ordered to report to the Army War College next August for the 1933-34 classes, it was announced today.

The noose, shown in the photo, was hung by the farmers as a jest, they said. The finance company holding the mortgage on the farm granted a 60-day moratorium on all farm loans shortly before the sale was to start. Photo by International News Photographic Service. SATURDAY—FEBRUARY 4—1933 LABOR RECORD OF ROOSEVELT REASSURING Federal Workers Cheered By Previous Acts and Policies to Improve Conditions Federal employees who are concerned over the prospective policies of President-elect Roosevelt toward Government jobs and the manner of their filling, and who have found the “interpretations” of his attitude as published here recently both indefinite and intangible, have turned to his official record in such matters for assurance that those who toil could have no more sympathetic friend. With his presidential candidacy indorsed by the New York State Federation of Labor and with his career at Albany in the legislature and in the governor’s chair re plete with instances of his solicitude for workers, the official records have disclosed sufficient evidence of his fairness in this respect to satisfy the most anxious. Established Wage Board It was recalled here this week that when Roosevelt resigned from the New York senate in 1913 to become Assistant Secretary of the Navy, he established the Departmental Wage Board of Review. He also set the precedent, followed today, of permitting the American Federation of Labor to nominate the labor member of that board. It has also been pointed out that as governor in 1931 he signed a bill (chapter 389) providing that officers and employees of the State who are members of the Civil Service Retirement System shall be entitled to benefits authorized by the workmen’s compensation law in case of injury, without impairing any rights they have to the State retirement pension. His attitude toward retirement of aged public employees on a liveable allowance is found in his message to the legislature of January 1, 1930, when he said: “Selfish and indifferent people should no longer be favored by exemption from a burden we now impose on the generous and charitable in providing for the care of those unable to support themselves in their old age. This is a common duty of all citizens and should be borne by all taxpayers alike.” While in the legislature, he voted for the bill, now a law, making it unlawful for any person or corporation to mislead anyone in regard to any employment, or to offer to secure employment  Service. BROWN PLEADS FOR AIR MAIL Continuation of the Federal air mail subsidy as a moral obligation of the Government and a necessity to the aeronautic industry was urged yesterday by Postmaster General Brown in a letter to Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, Democratic leader. He warned against crippling the aviation industry. Robinson sponsored the amendment to the post office appropriation bill striking the $19,000,000 appropriation for air mail routes provided in the measure as passed by the House. Senate action was by a 39 to 35 vote. Air mail advocates in the House will make a strong fight to have their provision retained when the bill is ironed out in conference. Brown told how the air mail operators, acting on the good faith of Congress, had made huge investments in equipment and facilities, and in training personnel. SLOT WHINES UNDER FIRE War was started today by Commonwealth Attorney Lawrence Douglas and Sheriff Howard B. Fields on slot machines in Arlington county, Va. Numerous complaints have been received about the machines, especially near schools. However, no action was taken against the operators until Douglas had secured recent rulings on the machines in other jurisdictions. He declares if a machine dispenses slugs, even though they are not used as cash or in trade, the machine is a gambling device. Roy, 18, Flees Home To See Mar. 4 Parade If getting an early start means anything, Leroy Gillingham, 18, New Brighton, Pa., will have a choice spot for viewing the inaugural parade. Leroy vanished yesterday from His home and his foster mother, Mrs. Anne G. Allen, superintendent of a children’s home at New Brighton, said he left a note stating he did not want to miss the inauguration. MANY ACCEPT SMOOT BID A generous response to the Senate’s invitation for a suggestion of a program to insure economic recovery in the United States was assured today from leaders of banking, industry, commerce, and the publishing field. Senator Smoot (RJ, of Utah, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said many favorable replies have been received and more are expected. The list of acceptances will be made public when all the leaders asked to attend the committee’s hearings have been heard from. Smoot explained. The hearings are to start February 13. The Senate Banking and Currency Committee went forward today with plans to question one group of bankers at a resumption of its stock exchange investigation Feb. 21. Charles A. Mitchell and other officials of the National City Bank of New York have been subpoenaed to appear as witnesses in an inquiry regarding sale of the bank’s stock to the public. Worry! Worry! Worry!
