Dentist ll URGE CONGRESS

T0 STREAMLINE

Up-to-Date Procedures Are Asked by Probers.

WASHINGTON, May 31 (U. P.). —A joint congressional committee today recommended that congress

give . itself higher salaries, longer vacations and more help, The comniittee, headed by Senator Robert M. LaFollette (Prog. Wis.), spent nearly a year diagnosing congress’ modern ills, “Your machinery of government, which was devised. for the simpler tasks of the Nineteenth century, is breaking down under its tremenduous work load,” the report declared. “Democracy itself is in grave danger of disintegrating from internal dissensions under the terrific pressure of the post-war world.” The report recommended : ONE: Appointment of at least one administrative assistant for each congressman to “run errands and knock on departmental doors.” TWO: Increasing congressional pay to $15,000 a year (senators now receive $10,000; representatives, $10,000 plus $2500 expense allowance). THREE: Approval of a threemonth congressional vacation each year. FOUR: Creation of a retire-| ment system to encourage members to retire at the age of 62. | FIVE: Reducing the number of | committees. ‘Crazy Quilt’ Pattern Cost of the recommended pro-| gram was estimated at $12,000,000! annually. The report argued, however, that abolition of legislative ills and the patronage system “would more than offset the outlay.” Committee set-ups, the report said, have become a “crazy quilt pattern” with several doing the same job and others not even both- | ering to meet. “The committee work load . . today is too heavy to bear,” the re- | port added. It recommended that | standing committees be reduced by nearly half. Consolidation of the naval affairs and military affairs committee into one committee on the armed forces was recommended for both the house and senate. Hits at Lobbyists Congress also should do something to protect itself from the “swarms” of lobbyists which beset the lawmakers and make it difficult

“to discover the real majority will,”

the report added.

{s Quitting Police to Write of His Adventures

By AL OSTROW ‘ NEA Staff Writer SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.— After 25 years on the Chinatown beat, Police Inspector John J. Manion is SWappipg his badge for an eyeshade and is going to beat a typewriter, He is retiring from the police force, but not from the Chinatown he knows so well, for he wants to write down his vivid memories of the tong war days, And Chinatown’s youth won't let him forget; they keep knocking on his door for the same kind of advice he gave when he was fight ing the “Boo How Dye"—the tong. hatchet men. The conferences attending this advice are different now. Told of Murders “Many an old hatchet man has calmly told me of his past murders over a cup of tea,” the inspector remembers. “They knew I couldn't prosecute them without other evidence, because they'd simply deny any such confession it the case ever came to court.” It wasnit so long ago, either, that a slap in the face sent tourists scurrying out of the Chinese colony's narrow streets, and police surrounded the district warning all comers that they entered at their own risk. The slapper was a Chinese youth from the outlands Sacramento. His victim was Jing Ping Louie, 65, president of the Bing Kong tong. | The police blockade, ordered by Inspector Manion, and the rapid convention of the Chinese Peace society, averted the wholesale bloodshed that used to follow a clash of tong tempers. Order Apology a Peace society, a council of inatown elders on which each leading tong and family group has two representatives, weighed the dispute with ceremony and solemnity. They saw their business being ruined by the blockade. Then they

Francisco's Chinatown Beat

Inspector John J. Manion used to grill Chinatown hatchetmen fn San Francisco. Now Chinatown youths, like Tom Jack Wing, grill him for some of his friendly advice.

“That advertising is a very serious business,” Mr. Manion said. “There used to be a big bulletin board in Chinatown chiefly devoted to public notices that certain tongs were at peace, or that certain individuals had resigned from a tong.” No ‘War’ Since 1926 Object of the resignations was to escape death at the hands of a rival faction. The hatchet men .were paid a bonus for every rival
