From Post-Gazette Washington Bureau. WASHINGTON, D. Nov.

1. Harold L. Ickes, secretary of the interior, charged tonight that Gif-ford Pinchot, Independent Pennsylvania Republican, "has become the Lot's wife of the Conservation movement." Defending the proposal to make the Interior Department the "Department of Conservation," Ickes devoted the last half of a radio address to an attack upon the Republican, who was associated with Theodore Roosevelt in establishing national conservation policies. He asserted that Pinchot "again is astride his old hobbyhorse, but he is facing the tail instead of the head," because Pinchot has opposed proposals to transfer the forest service from the agriculture department to the proposed conservation department. Ickes declared that with the "active co-operation" of the "great lumber interests," Pinchot "supports the bizarre theory that in disunion there is strength.

"I suppose now that Mr. Pinchot is preparing to run again for the governorship of Pennsylvania, or for an even higher office, there will be less and less criticism of the interior department, except as it may serve his political interests." 1foc ife flat ot out Aft ROBERTS 3IAERINER S.

"Mad Seat" New Device To Snub Him Or Her) Furniture Mart Displaying Piece Designed To Facilitate the "Cold Shoulder." Mayor Expected to Veto Measure If Beaten At Polls Today. Still in the dark as to budget needs, the Democratic majority in city council finally adopted the 1938 tax ordinance yesterday about 24 hour3 before four of them stand for approval by the voters. The levy, with miscellaneous revenues, is expected to yield about $4,000,000 less next year than the 1937 schedule of expenditures requires. Six administration councilinen to one of whom "it makes no difference who is mayor of this town" repeated their steamroller tactics of last week to 'jam through the bill and passJt along for Mayor Scully's The mayor announced last night at the Community Forum that he will sign the bill today. The signature, however, will not make the bill a law, unless it is dated as of tomorrow.

No ordinance becomes a law when signed on a legal holiday. For the sixth consecutive year, the ordinance fixes the levy on real estate at $2.06 per $100 on land and $1.03 per $100 on buildings. It also continues the 1937 flat and meter water rates. Three Ask for Budget. It does not meet the budget needs as anticipated by two of the three minority councilmen, nor does the manner in which it was rushed through meet the satisfaction of ail three.

They are still demanding an opportunity to see the mayor's budget estimates. When yesterday came and there still were no estimates on hand, W. A. Magee, Robert Garland and P. J.

McArdle registered their opposition by voting "no" on the bill. McArdle pointed out that not only were the budget estimates denied council, but that no assessment figures had been furnished as per custom before fixing tax rates. "In the absence of any emergency or need for haste," McArdle said, "I do not care to vote in favor of a levy which I fear will be wholly inadequate to meet the public needs." Anderson Supports IMan. It was Councilman Charles Anderson who declared it made no difference to him who was elected mayor. "This will be the fax rate for next year and there will be no increase," he said.

The real estate and miscellaneous levies, with more optimism than was employed this year, might yield $23,000,000 next year. Against this are anticipated expenditures of approximately $26,800,000 $3,800,000 of which are mandatory obligations. No indication has been given where the economies be effected. Anderson has demanded that department heads weed out the "deadwood." HAMILTONS FOR MEN 37.50 to 175.00 50.00 200.00 CHICAGO, Nov. 1.

(JP Should you feel like giving the heavy date the "cold-shoulder," there's a new piece of furniture for the purpose divide the mid-section of the seat with two arms, leaving a corner on the outer side of each arm. Thus, if the middle seat occupant should get peeved at the person next to him, a move to the outer side of the arm would change the situation from cheek-to-cheek to back-to-back. The seat on d'splay was upholstered in red probably inspired by the notion of "seeing red." the "mad-seat." It was exhibited today at the American Furniture Mart's mid-seasonal showing. To get an idea of this new living room piece, think of a half moon. Put a back on the inner side.

WPA WORK LEAVE TO VOTE RESCINDED Officials Must Stay On Job, New Ruling. Reaction to a "threatened" marshalling of rank and file WPA workers to the New Jersey polls today, by supervisory and administrative officials who were to have been given a "holiday" to do the work, has resulted in the retraction of similar "leave" to WTA officials in thrs district and throughout the state, it was learned authoritatively last night.

Complaints that William H. J. Ely, state WPA administrator in New Jersey, had contemplated giving supervisors a "holiday" on election day to herd rank and file workers to the polls to vote for Democratic candidates had resulted in a warning from Aubrey Williams, assistant WPA administrator, that such action would lead to dismissal of the officials. In an order received here, it was learned, all field and office officials were told to remain on the job. Project workers, however, were given the option of taking the day off and making the time up later.

The order was a reversal of a policy which had been in effect for the previous two years. Then WPA administrative and supervisory of-officials, including foremen, were permitted to take a holiday on election day without making it up. The order came in the form of the usual formal notice of policy that is distributed among WPA officials and workers the day before every holiday, it was said.
