SALARY SLASH PLANS UNDER SENATE’S FIRE Exemptions Will Be Made for Workers Receiving Small Salaries. THREE DRAFTS OFFERED Norris Would Cut 5 Per Cent From Low Pay, 25 From Highest. BY RUTH FINNEY • Tim* SUIT WrlUr WASHINGTON, June 3—Senate opponents of the 10 per cent federal pay cut continued their offensive rodav as debate was resumed on the $238 605.000 eronomv bill. The bipartisan committee which drafted the bill hopes to sav* $121.000.000 through the horizontal. 10 per rent cut. with no exemptions allowed. but widespread protest in the chamber has strengthened the possibility of a compromise, with exemptions on a graduated scale. Senator Broussard <Dem . Lo. > announced he would vote against any cuts whatever. Senator Oddie 'Rep.. Nev t urged the senate to encourage the country to "turn from the course of despair and take that of optimism. Opposes Pay Cut • I am as anxious as any man in th* senate to reduce government expenses to the very limi*." he said. • But I can not be in agreement with cuts for employes." Three different plans for lightening the burden on small salaries are before the senate, and considerable debate, probably will precede any decision as to which one shall be written into the bill. Senator George W. Norns 'Rep.. Neb *, proposes a graduated scale, taking 5 per cent from the smallest salaries and 25 per cent from the largest. Several Alternative Plans He calculates a cut of this sort would yield some $23,000,000. but points out that, while this is $91.000 000 less than the pay cut proposal of the committee would save, it is considerably more than the savings under the plan adopted by the house. Senator Elmer Thomas (Dem. Okla > has an alternative graduated scale, ranging from 5 to 20 per cent. Senator Hiram Johnson ' Repeal. > has proposed that all salaries of *2,500 and less be exempt from any cut and that all o ver amount be, cut 10 per cent. On salaries of SIO,OOO. the amount received by congressmen, the house pay cut plan provided reductions of $825. The senate committee plan would reduce them SI,OOO. and so would the Johnson plan. The Thomas plan would cut them $1,440. and the Norris plan $1,450. Hoover Plan Ignored Apparently no serious attempt to substitute President Hoovers furlough plan will be made on the floor of the senate. Republican members of the senate economy committee, including Senator L. J. Dickinson (Rep.. la.t, who is to be keynoter at the convention which will renominate Hoover, classed it as unworkable, and "even more objectionable than the 10 per I cent cut plan." Members of the economy committee attempted to sweep the senate into immediate approval of drastic pay cut* at the beginning of the debate. Senator Sam G. Bratton (Dem.. N. M ) told the senate that the committee had decided on a general 10 Iter cent cut, because it felt that afforded equal treatment to every government employe. Senator Johnson i took sharp issue with him. Takes Food and Shelter When you take 10 per cent from the man getting SI,OOO and $1,500 a year what do you take?" said Johnson. "You take from him food, clothing, shelter, light, the right to bring up children in the way American children are entitled to be brought up. "When you take 10 per cent from i the men in higher brackets, you only take from them the luxuries to which they have become accustomed. "The right to have children, to have light and heat and health and sunshine is involved. Assails Wage Cut* "I hope this senate, will have nerve enough, in the teeth of the floods of propaganda being directed against us. to stand here and protect those who have no power to protect themselves." Senator Burton K. Wheeler (Dem.. Mont.! served notice that he would vote for no wage cuts so long as congress refuses to tax beer, and continues to build battleships and other instruments of war. "A beer tax would raise $350,000.000 and end our troubles." said Wheeler. "You would be taking the money from racketeers and putting an end to them. But you're afraid of the Anti-Saloon League."

ROMANCE REAPPEARS IN SOVIETLAND
Beauty Parlors and Barber Shops Are Crowded in Russia
TM* tg the third article of • series bv Alice H?jsrhes on what she found in Russia after a year s absence. BY ALICE HUGHES Time* SUB Writer Coovnrht. 1932. bv the New York World Telegram Corporation.) SIGNS of romance appear now and then in Russia. No necking on a park bench, but a certain coyness between men and women. Better clothes and cosmetics are available, and this. I think, makes the men womanconscious. In Moscow and Leningrad bread, eggs and soap are extremely scarce. But stores are well stocked with face powder, lipsticks, rouge, manicure Implements and perfumes. The perfume counters, usually first, and most prominent in department stores, spread a sweetishness through the air. '"Why." I ask. "are cosmetics so common and necessities so rare?" Questions like that only cause a complete stoppage of conversation among Russians. No one will essay an answer. I must content mvself with the information that the cosmetic industry is being managed by Pauline Zhenchuz.hina Molotov, wife of the premier. The abundance of the output
REPUBLICANS HEAR THREAT OF WET BOLT Convention Floor Conflict Over Prohibition Plank Worries Leaders. BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON. June 3.—The double threat of a convention floor fight over prohibition and a bolt by the wets faced the Republican 1 party today as a result of Post-master-General Walter F. Brown's statement that the prohibition plank would satisfy all factions. Even though congress remains in session. Senator Hiram Bingham 'Rep.. Conn.) said he would go to Chicago to lead a floor movement for insertion of a resubmission plank, if necessary. Extreme wets, including ex-Scn-ator James W. Wadsworth oi' New York, have declared they would urge the people to cast their vote in the election without regard to partisanship. Borah's Influence Bit Senator William E. Borah (Rep.. Ida ) continues to have most influence at the White House on this subject, however. Although his personal plank, which is acceptable ito professional drys. may not be taken over by Hoover, it is believed the general idea will be the same, i The "satisfactory to all” program is said to contemplate a strong | declaration for law enforcement and recognition of the wets' right to work for repeal or modification. Hoover took this position in his inaugural address. Despite talk of a third dry party, if the Republicans adopt a referendum plank, that possibility is scouted. Borah has been mentioned as a possible candidate for a prohibition movement, but it is known he will J not align himself with a party built only on one issue. Tempest Is Renewed In fact, it almost is certain that he will not leave the party under any circumstances. If the convention goes wet. he is expected to express his resentment by refusing to speak for Hoover. If Brown hoped to still the tempest Hoover s intervention in the wet-dry row has provoked, his statement has had just the opposite effect. Whereas the drys launched a bombardment on the White House, when it was learned Hoover might acquiesce in a referendum, now the wets have begun to bring pressure. Asa result, the President has beI come the center of the controversy, and may suffer or benefit from the . final decision. Dissatisfaction Spreads Hoover's course already has spread dissatisfaction among party leaders. Most of the regular senators, as well as the national committeemen, favor a referendum a* the most expedient policy. Such men as Majority Leader i James E. Watson of Indiana, Senator Samuel M. Shortndge (Cal), and Senator Frederick Steiwer , Ore.)— all up for re-election-have adopted this strategy in the face of growing sentiment for a change. For Hoover to make Borah his j chief adviser in the matter, and for Brown to suggest a "straddle" plank, mav make it hard for the senatorial shifters to square themselves with dry constituents. The Democrats are about the only ones who find any comfort in the situation. Their aim is to be a little wetter than the Republicans, but at no time have they felt it would be safe to go further than pledging the party to a referendum. But if the Republicans content themselves with a generalization that it la no crime to work for re- ] peal, the Democrats' course will be an easy one. With such an alignment on prohibition, Democratic prophets say they will have an excellent chance of carrying wet states in the east and middle west with large electoral votes, including New York. Massachusetts. New Jersey. Ohio. Illinois and Indiana. Send Girl Slayer to Asylum j By l niteit Prr * CLEVELAND. O .

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 1932
leads to tonsorial splurges. Beardlessness and shaved heads are in fashion for men. Barber snops and beauty parlors are crowded. Twenty-four tables of manicurists are at work in one shop. The polished nails—guess!—are a rich red. a a a A SCORE of hair - dryers, a dozen barbers, several facial masseurs stand over their patrons, cajoling good looks with curling irons and cold creams. I wait in a long line. The thick-fingered method of the barbers dims my enthusiasm, which dies when I see a customer pay twenty-two rubles for a shampoo, a marcel wave and a manicure. Eleven dollars! I cede my place in line. The women about pie show signs of clothes improvement. Last year they were shapeless masses. This year dresses cover the knees and show an attempt at fit Colors emerge. Shoes show vast improvement. Store prices seem high. They are based, if seems to me. not so much upon worth as upon scarcity. An article of furniture, say a huge brass bed. costs thirty rubles. sls. A sleazy blouse of artificial silk, machine-made, bearing the allegation. American Style." is priced thirty-six rubles. *lB. It would not bring *1 in New York. a a a PERHAPS it is unfair to comI pute the ruble in terms of dollars. The legal rate is about two for *l. Actually, the purchasing power of a ruble is about 15 cents, and in the countries bordering Russia, they are sold at from 5 to 8 cents apiece. In other stores I see quaint, musical instruments, often out of order; phonographs, radios, imitation leather bags. Deep crowned felt hats for women: caps for men. Cheap jewelry. Never gold. It is poor taste to wear anything of gold. Gold in vaults, which U. S. S. R. uses to buy necessities abroad. To be in "poor taste" is a serious reproach in the Soviet country'- A Russian novelist relates the story of a sincere young Communist whose three front teeth had been knocked out in a fight defending his politics. Unfortunately his factory's dentist was out of porcelain, and was forced to equip the young man with a glistening trio of gold teeth * * * AT the next meeting of his district party committee, suspicious whispers buzzed. Why should a true Communist pay attention to such a trifle as three missing teeth? Were his principles not lofty enough to transcend above a mere hole in his mouth? What of socialistic ideolologv? And dialectic materialism? The youth removed the three golden teeth and socialistic ideology was saved. This year stores have woolen fabrics, handkerchiefs, collars for men. and better shoes. Underwear with traces of embroidery and lace is beginning to appear. Here and there China and Japanese silk may be snatched up at high cost. Women's clothes, still far from being chic, are at least varied. The early idea of uniform dress has been abandoned. a a a A DRESSMAKER in Moscow offered to make over any of my dresses, free, if I would give her a magazine of American fashions 1 had brought with me for a woman friend. Rarely do these seamstresses receive new material from which to make clothes. They have become expert in remodeling old things. A dress is not really old in Russia until it has been turned at least six times. One well-patronized counter in stores is that of brief cases. Every Russian swings a portfolio of some kind. They are to him what walking sticks and spats are to an Englishman. Once I rifled the contents of a native brief case, finding two huge doorkeys. a copy of St allins Six Points, a box of matches, cigarets, two slices of stale bread, several old newspapers, a food book, a picture of Lenin and an astonishing number of little slips of paper, variously scribbled. To my irreverent mind the fiveyear plan seems to be conducted on tiny slips of paper. A trip on the railroad (which

But if you were in the United States weather bureau service, it would mean a whole lot more—and then some.

more than thirty years and although it has been changed a bit here and there, nothing has been done to affect the principles of the system. "We make two complete observations a day. at 7 a. m. and at 7 p. m. That includes the barometric pressure, highest temperature, direction of the wind and velocity, state of the weather, type of clouds overhead and the amount of precipitation. "We condense that into four or five words and there’s the telegram. It would take thirty-five or forty words in plain English and that certainly would cost the government heavily.” m * * A RMINGTON pulled out the telegram sent from Indianapolis Thursday. It read: "Indianapolis Unit Marbach Gainable One DicebOK Wedged Curate Cisney.” "The opening word,’’ explained Armington, "gives the station. Next comes the word ‘unit.’ That one word means that the barometric pressure at 7 a. m. was 30. and that the temperature was 66. Then comes the word ’Marbach.’ That means that the wind was coming from the south at 12 miles an hour, and that the sky was partly clouded. "Following that is ‘gainable.’ It means that the minimum temperature during the night was 62 and that the humidity was 42 per cent. The words One Dice-

This day there is nothing to be bought, at the grocer's but capers! Cans and cans of capers! "That's fine!" I say. "At. home we get capers only in high-class salads. Do you have them often here?" "Sometimes we have only capers for seven 1 days."

Winters, who lives at 1940 Valley avenue, attends school No. 38. The turnout at Oak Hill, likewise, was heavy and several rings were opened at both places.

Arise, Fathead,’ means that the pressure there i* 30.02 and that the temperature is 76. Now Fathead' means that the wind there is coming from the east at 4 miles an hour and that the sky is partly cloudy. "The partly cloudy translation comes from the fact that of the a' in the second word. Notice the a' in Major’ and the a’ in Fathead.’ That to the weather bureau means partly cloudy." * * * SANTA FE had the word •Giraffe’’ in its report. It merely meant that Santa Fe had .72 inch of rain in the last twen-ty-four hours and that the humidity was 46 per cent. That's what a giraffe has come to mean. "The whole system,” said Armington. "not only saves money, but time, because a person familiar with the code can read it much faster. "If there were thirty or forty words, the man reading the message would have to keep looking back at the message. With five, six or seven words, he can remember three at a time. It saves at least 40 per cent in time.” So the next time someone calls you "Fathead.” you may take it to mean that you're just a nice, gentle east wind.
G. 0. P. BATTLE FOR GOVERNOR IN SAD TANGLE Call for Special Session and Rapp. Springer Entrance Muddy Waters. HITS LANDIS CANDIDACY Former Legion Leader May Take Support Logansport Editor. BY BEN STERN With the Republican state convention only five days away, the fight for the Governor nomination is in a hopeless muddle, due to calling the legislature for a special session and announcement of two candidates. It was supposed generally that after his reappointment to the state highway commission. Arthur H. (Free Wheeling) Sapp of Huntington would not enter the Governor race, but he did Then, to the surprise of a 111, Ravmond Springer of Connersville, first state commander of the American Legion and Tenth district G. O. P. chairman, announced Thursday. The entrance, of Sapp did not disturb the six candidates already announced, but Springer offers a real threat. Close lo Watson He is clos? to Senator Janies E. Watson and it is suspected that the senior senator, to combat possibility of a legionnaire heading the Democratic ticket, had urged Springer to announce. Then. also, it is known that leaders of the Republican Veterans, Inc., of Indiana, have been caucusing frequently to obtain representation on the ticket. It is much more likely that this group brought out Springer, with the hope of having a veteran head the ticket. Springer is a more dangerous threat to the chances of Frederick Landis. Logansport editor and radio columnist, than to the others, for it was expected that the latter's real appeal would be to the ex-service-man. By his announcement. Springer undoubtedly made for himself enemies of Tenth district candidates for other offices, no matter how they may deny it. Fifth From Dislrict He is the fifth aspirant for a nomination from that district Heading that list is Senator Watson, who votes at Rushville; then there is another Governor candidate. James M. Knapp of Hagerstown. Miss Mary Sleeth, also of Rushville. who until now had no real opposition for the treasurer nomination, and Luther Draper of Spiceland. candidate for secretary of state. No convention would take more than two candidates for a major office from the same district and Watson of course removes one vacancy. Three of the four others will have to be sacrificed. Many Republican leaders arc forgetting that Landis did not announce for the Governor nomination. but that his friends did it for him. He has not made a single speech In the two months that have elapsed since. He made only one appearance at state headquarters, on Thursday, and he has opened no headquarters of his own herp There also Is the possibility that the Logansport liberal will not permit his name to go before the convention until he has a chance to take a look at the platform. To most observers in studying the action of Leslie in calling a special session, there is the suspicion that one of his purposes in issuing the call was to stop thr shouting of Lieuten-ant-Governor Edgar D. Bush, who was using a special session plea in his drive for the Governor nomination. May Have Erred If that is so. then the Governor may have erred in his supposition, for Bush, a leader in the special session demand, probably will shout to the farmer element he plays that “1 made the Governor issue the call.” Tut the break is against Bush in one factor. That is time. It would be difficult for him to spread this gospel in the few days that remain before Wednesday when the convention is assembled. Thinking Republican leaders make no secret of the fact that they do not relish the idea of a special session. SPIRITUALIST GROUP TO OPEN CONVENTION State Association to Hold Rally Tonight at Church.
