As Slash Tiff Widens WASHINGTON, May 8 CD jThe Democratic administratlon-Re-( publican Congress budget split vvid-jened today with accusations on Capitol Hill that cabinet officers I are trying to embarrass the House 'Appropriations Committee. 1 The charge was made by Rep. Stefan chairman of the I subcommittee which earlier this "week recommended a 23 percent cut in the 1918 budget of the State, Commerce and Justice depart-iments. It was echoed by Rep. Taber (R-N.

chairman of the Full Committee which upheld Stefans group. Stefan and Taber lashed out at the departments after Secretary of State Marshall and Secretary of Commerce Harriman criticized the committees action in separate statements yesterday. Previously Secretary of the Interior Krug and Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach had complained to economy-axe blows dealt their departments. Charges Referring to Marshalls claim that the committee action posed serious problems for the State Department, and to Harrimans assertion that it would return us to the dark ages of business knowledge, Stevan told reporters: It makes no difference whether the cuts are five cents or a million dollars, the screams are just at loud. This is only part of the tremendous bombardment Ive been suffering from all departments during the last several weeks whenever we have requested departments to cut expenditures and help balance the budget.

It is only another example of the show these department heads are putting up to embarrass the Appropriations Committee in trying to carry out President Trumans (budget) requets. N. H. Bars Await Song Crusaders While Mrs-. Fiances Muir Fom-erov.

'Reasonable Time' on Demands SACRAMENTO, May 3 (AP) The question of Whether San Pedro will per fist in its attempt to obtain permission to secede from the city of Los Angeles is nowi in the keeping of the Los An-! geles City Council and Mayor Fletcher Bowron, Assembly-nan Vincent Thomas San Pedro, declared today. Thomas, author of a bill which would have allowed the residents of San Pedro and other annexed areas of Los Angeles to vote themselves out of the city, said he is going to give officials of the southern city a reasonable time to comply with San Pedro demands that Los Angeles live up to promises he said were made in 1909 and if compliance is not forthcoming he said he is going to press for passage of his bill.

The bill was passed once by the loiver house, but that body reversed itself voted to reconsider, and put the bill back on file. At the timp of passage, the bill mustered a bare majority of 41 votes. But, Thomas said today, if the mayor and the council don't do something about living up to their promises, I am confident that I can get votes to pass the bill. After the reconsideration yesterday, the assembly adopted a resolution introduced by Thomas and Assemblyman Laughlin Waters Los Angeles, calling on Los Angeles to give attention, to a municipally owned and operated ferry to Terminal Island, the public fish market and fishermens wharf, a branch of the public library and expenditures within San Pedro for fire, police, parks and other purposes in an amount equal to the taxes collected in the area by Los Angeles. Thomas did not say what he considered a reasonable time for the council and the mayor to comply with the requests of the resolution, but indicated that if no action has been taken by the end of this month he would take the ball up again.

Senate Bans Welfare Fund Hold By Union from Page 1) Few in Upp er Bracket Will Get City Pay Hike Larger pay checks weye assured for municipal employes in the lower salary brackets under an ordinance being prepared today by the Los Angeles City attorneys office, but executives, with three exceptions, will have to get along with their present income.

May endorsement on the checks in accordance with an authority he had given his father. Do you know why those checks were made payable to you? Mays son W'as asked. I didnt then, but I know now They were campaign money, Robert May replied. Threat Ignored In bringing out the first testimony about the two $1000 checks, the prosecution ignored a public threat by Mays counsel that May, when he takes the witness stand, would expose high figures in the Democratic party in retaliation. After Robert Mays brief testimony, the prosecution turned to a new phase of the case in calling chemical warfare service officials to testify in support of the bribe charges against May.

May is charged with taking more than $50,000 in war bribes. His co-defendants, charged with conspiring to pay May for Government favors, are Murray and Ilenry Garsson, key figures in a $78,000,000 munitions combine, and Freeman, Washington agent for the Garsson brothers. health and welfare funds, they may become a racket but Senator Ives called the proposal extremely ill-conceived. May Hit Miners Senator Morse said the amendment would make illegal a vacation fund operated by the garment workers union to which he said employers now contribute without the right to influence its administration. He said the standards of state laws governing the administration of such trust funds are unusually high.

One major existing welfare fund is that John L. Lewis has secured for his United Mine Workers by a royalty on coal production. While this fund is administered jointly by the Government and mine workers, Taft indicated that he believes it possibly does not comply with provisions of the amendment covering specification of the purposes for which such funds can be spent. Tests on other amendments are ahead before the Senate comes to a final vote on the measure. State, City Seek Gollum's Alleged Pal A robbery wart ant has been issued by the District Attorneys office for Edward Louis Davis.

28, who is also sought today by State authorities for questioning on a report that he was seen fiequently in the company of George Gollum, a defendant in the Overell yacht slajing case. The District Attorneys warrant charges Davis with the robbeiy of $59 from a clerk at a Hollywood hotel May 3. Gollum, 21, and Louise Ovciell, are awaiting trial on murder charges in the deaths of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Ov-eiell, aboard a yacht in Newport harbor.

luctantly decided not to reduce salaries now being received by many city workers although they are in excess of the prevailing wage in private industry. Most of the wage boosts authorized are one or two schedule advances. A schedule averages $11.50. Four schedule increases had been recommended in many instances by the Bureau of Budget and Efficiency in a report supported by Mayor Fletcher Bowron. Three Favored The general wage policy adopted by the council will deny increases to employes receiving $500 a month or more.

The three major exceptions are: Lloyd Aldrich, city engineer, who will be advanced from $10,500 to $12,500 a year, and Ralph T. Dorsey, street traffic engineer, and William E. Lauer, street lighting engineer, who will be increased from a $545-5677 per month salary range to Councilman George Cronk, personnel chairman, explained the three executives were engineering salary or more in outside industry. Crong said he did not know exactly how many employes would be affected, how much the wage adjustment program would cost or how niany would not receive increases. lie estimated, however, that between 8,000 and 10,000 would receive boosts and that the program might cost $500,000 less than the $3,000,000 per year salary plan originally proposed.

Councilman Warns City salaries, which a survey showed w'ere in excess of the prevailing wage in private industry, resulted from the Jacob plan by which employes are advanced one salary step each year to a maximum of five steps. For this reason councilmen were hesitant to disturb the established scale. Councilmen Ed Davenport warned, however, that the council was embarking on a dangerous policy in paying more than the prevailing wage. He said the salaries would stand out like a lighthouse to observing payers. German Girl To Wed Salm Heir in L.

A. NEW YORK, May 8 UP) Gi-sela Vendeneschen, a German illustrator of childrens books, left today by train for Hollyw-ood where she said she would marry Peter Salm, millionaire son of the late Count Ludwig Salm and the former Millicent Rogers. The girl, about 23, arrived last night aboard the Marine Marlin. Jules Daiber, a travel bureau manager, said Miss Vendeneschen said she and Salm planned to be married as soon as she arrives on the West 'Coast. Salm was not in New York to meet her, but Daiber presented her with a bouquet of roses with a card Welcome, Darling.

Peter. The New York Daily News in a copyrighted story today said: Miss Vandeneschen, who speaks English fluently, first met Peter in Berlin, her native city. They had a reunion, quite by accident, in Munich after the war when Peter was an Army sergeant in counterintelligence service. Salm now is in the oil business in California.

Freakish Hairdos, Over-Plucking Hit By Expert Mirrors weie getting a workout all over town today. Women with narrow faces were studying coiffures that spread like chestnut trees. Others with broad faces critically observed hairdos that piled up a la leaning tower of Pisa.

Lipstick, rouge and eyebrows also were getting the onceover not so lightly. All of this went on because Jack Dawn, makeup expert at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio, who ued to be a cowboy, announced that American women dont understand the use of makeup. Thats why we often see the freakish, terrified look caused by over plucked eyebrows, he told the wives of delegates to the Independent Theater Owners Pacific Coast conference yesterday. He said American women misshape their lips, lay on the color too heavily and rig their hair against every contour of the head. 2 COAST MEETINGS MAY END STRIKE Two meetings today one here, Im other in San Francisco may bung a quick end to the telephone strike here.

Both sides union and company were optimistic as a San Fian-cisco meeting got underway in late morning between the N.F.T.W. and tjic company'. In Los Agnclcs, at 2 this nftrr-noon, the company will meet with the telephone operators union. Tin oneiators, not technically on stiike, have been refusing to pass through the N.F.T.W. picket lines.

At both meetings, new wage offers will be made to the unions, said company spokesman thi-. morning. New Offer A union spokesman in Los Angeles said he -felt that the new' Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company offer would be satisfactory. In San Francisco, Donald Buckley, regional union representative, merely said bargaining is one of those things you cannot phophesy about. The Los Angeles meeting this afternoon will be between the company and representatives of the Federation of Women Telephone Workers.

In Los Angeles, one facet of the end-the-strike activities is scheduled for this afternoon, when a committee of the Fedeiation of Women Telephone Workers union will meet with telephone company negotiators. Will Offer Raise At the meeting, company officials said, we will make a wage increase offer to the union. The company added that as of this morning, the F.W.T.W. is without a working contract with the company. We served contract termination notice on them, as requited, thirty days ago.

and the contract was terminated last night. However, we shall offer a new contract with same working conditions as in the old one. a wage rahe offer, but without main-tenance-of-union and dues checkoff clauses. The company spokesman added that more workers are reporting on their job- daily, and telephone service is improving hour to hour. Drunken Debbies Scctked by Court A pair of San Marino debutantes one of whom tackled the jailer, today had paid $110 in fines after pleading guilty in Pasadena Police court yesterday, one to drunk driving and the other to drunk in auto.

Barbara Jane Lynn, 18, of 626 Canterbury was fined $100 as the driver. Georgeanna Brad-street, also 18, of 1876 Windsor had $10 suspended on her $50 fine on condition she reimburse Police Officer Neal Church for smashing his wrist watch as they were being placed under arrest. 'Honor Farms' For Drunks Urged by Chief Establishment of two honor-farms for drunks and confirmed alcoholics w-as urged today by Police Chief C. B. Horrall as a means of reducing the estimated $2,000,000 annual cost of handling excessive imbibers.

The recommendation was made simultaneously with submission to the Board of Police Commissioners by the City Council of a taxpayers suggestion to fine drunks the amount they cost the city. The proposal was made by Carl I. Jacobson, who contended drunks should be made to pay their own way instead of shouldering the entire burden on the city. Another associated move was made by Councilman Harold Ilenry, who asked that the city controller provide an estimate of revenues for the current fiscal year and the estimated surplus. Henry explained this information is needed in connection with plans to finance the employment of an additional 1000 police officers to help handle drunks and combat the crime situation.

Previous estimates disclosed that approximately $7,000,000 of the $13,000,000 annual police budget was required to police the effects of the liquor problem. Jacobsons suggestion that drunks be fined their cost to the city, plus the fine for being intoxicated, was relayed to Chief Horrall yesterday for study. Last year there were 95,000 drunk arrests in Los Angeles.
