WORKING KIN OF LEGISLATORS TO BE VOTE ISSUE Congress Pay Rolls Being Scanned; Greenwood’s Office Closed. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER 1 nlUd Pre.s Rt Correspondent (Coovriaht. 1932. bv United Prei_ WASHINGTON, July 14.—Employment of relatives on the congressional pay roll Is an issue in : numerous election fights. It dramatizes the economy issue. ! The farmer whose farm has been foreclosed, or whose taxes are more than his wheat crop sells for, can understand the economy issue in terms of a congressman's relatives. In the second Oklahoma district, opponents of Representative W. W. Hastings, Democrat, even have dug back nine years. They charged that i in 1923 his daughter drew $l2O a month for three months. The opposing candidate. Alexa Johnston, brandished a photostat of the official record from the stump. Hastings explained that his daughter substituted temporarily for a secretary, who was ill and condemned regular employment of relatives. Records Scrutinized The records of other congressmen likewise are being scrutinized. The issue gained increased popularity I when Henry Field used it to defeat Senator Smith W. Brookhart in the j recent lowa primaries. From California have come in- ; quiries from persons who wish to: urge an anti-nepotism law in the i state legislature at its next session. j Despite the wave of indignation | against the family pay roll in con- ! gress, many of the 100 or more representatives who have employed relatives are standing pat. The recent ecenomy law permits j them to retain their wives on the pay roll, despite the provisions else- ; where'in the bill that wives whose j husbands are on the government j pay roll shall be dismissed first in any personnel reductions. Joker Keeps ’E On A joker was inserted which permits congressmen to exempt relatives from pay cuts. One Missouri congressman still j retains his aged father-in-law on; the pay roll. He never comes to Washington. Dozens of congressmen are paying clerk hire to political heelers back home. This correspondent in walking through the corridors of the house , office building at lunch time found ! door after door locked. The congressmen either had gone home—more than one hundred have left the city to start their re-elec- I tion campaigns—or else they were on the floor of the house. They are supposed to have two secretaries to \ keep the office going. On the door of Representative Arthur H. Greenwood iDcm., Ind.) was a note: “Forward all mail and telegrams to Linton, Ind.” This is | the home of his wife, who was on his pay roll at the last report. SEEK TO LINK GIRL TO AMO BANK ROBBERY Danville Authorities to Quiz Sister of Sentenced Bandit. Authorities at Danville, Ind., are making efforts to connect Mary Kinder. 23, with robbery of a bank at Amo on April 27, which already has resulted in the sentencing of three persons, including her brother, Earl Kinder, serving a twenty-five-year term in the state reformatory at Pendleton. The Kinder girl was arrested at the reformatory Tuesday by state police. In company with Margaret Northern, 20, said to be the wife of William Behrens, another convicted bandit, she hitch hiked from this city to Pendleton to visit her brother. Lcola Bellmore. 17,- Indianapolis, is the third person convicted in the robbery, which netted loot of $1,400. She was committed to the state girls school at. Clermont to remain until the age of 21.

Charge of “dictatorship” was hurled at Senator Lee J. Hartzell ißep.i, Ft. Wayne, from the senate floor when he arose Wednesday afternoon to advocate passage of his ten-year moratorium on all bond issues. The bill is on third reading in the senate today amended to provide a loophole for indispensable issues and leaving the decision regarding their merit in the hands of the state tax board. Senators assailed the measure on the grounds that it takes from the local government units the power to govern themselves, “If government is insolvent, this measure will not restore it,” Senator Chest r A. Perkins (Dem.l, South Bend, declared in opposing it.

Baby Very Cross. Eczema Covered Head. Healed by Cuticura. “Not very long ago my baby became very cross and started scratching his head, then eczema broke out in a little blister that later scaled over. He kept scratching and the patch became larger, and soon his head was covered with it. His hair was dry and lifeless. He was very restless and could only sleep a few minutes at a time. “I began using Cuticura Soap and Ointment and he was greatly relieved after the first treatment. I continued using them and in one month he was completely healed.” (Signed) Mrs. Roy M. Hoibin, 8260 S. Dixie Highway, Flint, Mich., Feb. 4,1932. So*o JSc. Ointment 2S and lOc. Tk*m 25c.
