Federal Salary
Slash Now Looms
WASHINGTON, March 18—(-
A thorough going slash of the Fed-
eral payroll from cabinet member*
down is now in prospect as s result
of the special house economy com-
rattee decision to favor saving of
more than $50,000,000 that way
The pay cuts, sponsored by indi-
nduallegislators sino early in the
cession, had appeared to be defeat-
ed by general sentiment against
such economy means, but the
harassing job of bringing the tour
bilion dollar Federal budget down
to a slue commensurate with the
present national income forced it to
the front again.
Two plans are under considera-
tion. One calls for a ten per cent
cut from top to bqttom. The other
would provide a graduated scale
beginning with 30 per cent on the
cabinet member*, members of Con-
gress and all others receiving $10,-
000 or ihmre and a smaller reduc-
tion on the bottom of the salary
roll.
So far resident Hoover has
maintained steadfastly a strong
position against Federal pay cute
but there has been no official state-
ment from the White House on the
subject.
The Democratic leader at the
House. Rainey of Illinois, said yes-,

HOUSTON, March 18—4—The
case of Barney McGanegal, accused
slayer of Gangster John Cherris,
went to the Jury shortly before noon
today.
In the arguments, which required
eight hours, Assistant Distriot At-
torney Frank Wimford shouted it
was “time for Harris county to stop
gangsters from making a battle-
ground of our city”.
Williford turned to McGanegal
and added:
“Yes, smile Barney, for when this
Jury comes out with its verdict it
wii wipe that Insolent smile off
your face."
Defense Attorney Abe Wagner
wept as he pleaded for mercy for
his client.
McGanegal was under a previous
convicticn for murder in Dallam
county and thus was tried As an
habitual criminal. In event of con-
viction a sentence either to life im-
prisonment or deeth would be man-
datory
Cherris was “taken for a ride"

WASHINGTON, March
18.—(AP)—Rep u b l i c a n
Prohibitionists were silent
today on the prediction in
Chicago by Secretary Hur-
ley that the Republican na-
tional convention would
adopt a “more liberal plat-
form on prohibition.”
Senators Smoot of Utah and Bo-
rah of Idaho, who helped draw the
rigid enforcement plank In 1928, re-
fused to comment on the war sec-
retary* forecast, but it was recall-
ed that the Idahoan made a proph-
esy of his own a few weeks ago
that the 1932 prohibit’on plank
would be similar to that at tour
yean ago.
Reports Calvin Coolidge was be-
ing discussed as a possible keynoter
lor the convention were discounted
in high republican circles.
Dr. C. E. Logan, president of the
North Texas District Association of
Osteopathic Physicians and Sur-
geons, in a letter to the Chamber of
Commerce, said, “It waa the unani-
mous opinion of those present that
the Denton meeting was ong of the
most successful meetings ever held
by this organization in its fourteen

fully planned Thinking you for
