Legislative Payroll Cause of Voter Dissatisfaction
Public Indignant at Number of Relatives Drawing Salaries
Washington, May 23 — (UP) — The congressional payroll racket has brought down on senators and representatives a flood of indignant letters to protest. Voters back home have begun writing their congressmen.
Raymond Clapper, chief of the Washington bureau of the United Press, started a series of dispatches last month telling how relatives of legislatures received assistance from government work, and of lavish expenditures on senatorial junkets. It had been known generally in Washington that some congressmen employed relatives as clerks and secretaries, but few knew what they did. When the house finally voted to make public its payroll list more than 100 members were shown to be employing relatives bearing the family names. Cabinet members followed the disclosure of combs used for grooming and enjoyment. The White House, which has no control over the payroll racket, receives many letters asking that it be stopped. Hard working clerks who now -working "mails" drawing the larger checks wel-
Representative Lindsay Warren, Democrat, of North Carolina, author of the resolution which made public the house payroll, said that his hand had attention on the subject he had always supposed the lists were public. "As soon as I found that it was not public, I introduced my resolution," he said. Representative Mackenzie Barr, of South Carolina, are on the payroll and not working it is a national scandal."

House Downs Bill to Legalize Beer for Tax Purposes
Vote Forced by Both Fractions to Get Record by Time of Conventions
WETS'SIGN PETITION
Washington, May 23 —(UP) The house today defeated the O'Connor-Hull bill to legalize and tax beer between 275 per candle alcohol by weight. The vote was met on prohibition modification sent in the house.
It was forced by the wet bloc in an attempt to get all members on record by the time of the national political conventions. The decision came on a proposition to discharge the ways and means committee from further consideration of the issue. Anti-treatment force the issue by obtaining 145 names to a special petition to take the matter out of the hands of the predominantly "dry" committee where the measure had been tabled. The bill would have placed an excuse tax of three cents per pint on beer.

GUILD MAKES STATEMENT
Congress May Request States to Take an Advisory Vote
A recent comment made by Professor F. H. Guild, head of the politics science department, follows;
"Allthough the federal constitution, does not empower the national government to place questions on the ballots of the several states, congress may re-enact them or take an advisory vote to determine public opinion on the prohibition question.
Griffith Gives Biography
"Illinois definitely has a constitutional provision under which advisory votes are required for the nature acts in accordance with its judgment in the light of the advisory vote," he said. "Massachusetts and New York have something of the sort on a few occasions."
"Of course, no secretary of state in authority to lengthen the ballot of his state, or incur additional expenses, exert a force upon citizens in an enactment or at least a joint resolution of the two houses of the state legislature. I am of the opinion, however, that practically all the states have been made able to authorize such an advisory vote."
"Such advisory vote would not be binding, and any modification or repeal of existing laws would have to follow the regular constitutional channels. In addition, a large number of states would have more weight than a poll conducted by private enterprise, since the state referendum would be on the regular election ballots and the casting and counting ballots would be under state supervision.

An orange-winged airplane, with a squat, bug-like green body, is waiting at the Lawrence Municipal Airport to test its wings in the air, and prove that it can fly. He fledgling, a new and radical idea in aircraft design is the brain child of Ben Brown, local inventor. He has had the assistance of O'Gara O. Marra, former student at the University, and Ralph D. Hall, instructor in mechanical engineering.
Newly Designed Airplane Fledgling Awaits Opportunity to Try Wings
"Do you think it will fly?" is the dubious query of everyone who sees $\mu$br strange-appearing plane.
"We hope it will," says Mr. Brown. "Wind tunnel tests, which Mr. Baker carried on in the University wind tunnels. We can learn practical, and will eliminate to a great degree any tendency to stall or spin. The unusual placement of the motor and propeller will also do much to eliminate noise in the passenger compartment."

stead of the conventional monoplane or biplane arrangement there are two wings on both sides, all on the same plane. The inner edge of the front wing is fastened just over the pilot, and slopes out and back, where its outer end fenders to the tail are mounted at the plants toward the tail, joining the fuel舵 just over the motor. This triangular arrangement is supplemented by auxiliary wings sloping from the outer point to fasten just above the shock absorber gear.
No elevators are used, the aloergens on the trailing edge of the front wenge are raised up to the top and mounted above the back of the propeller, and a small auxiliary rudder is mounted below and behind. The tail whirl of the air by a small wheel, which is steerable.
To Continue Ground Tests Ground tests of the new plane have already been made which show unusual maneuverability on the ground. Mr Brown plans to make several more similar tests today.
And so the fledgling rests on its untied wings, with perhaps a revolution in flying science hidden somewhere in its odd design.
"I cannot say yet just when we'll take her off the ground," he said. "I'm going to try her out very exhaustively on the ground to get the feel of the rooftop, but I'm not going to a flight. It may be that some changes may necessitate a re-ripping job."

Ames Ball Series to Decide Big Six All-Sports Crown
Kansas Must Place Third in Baseball to Retain Championship; Tie Assured
OTHER SCHOOLS CLOSE
By Al Huber, c'32
At present Iowa State and Kansas both have scored 28 points each in the all-sports pentathlon. This is counting Kansas to finish fourth, followed by third. But should Kansas win the baseball series from Iowa State it would move to third place and Iowa State to fourth. Kansas would have 77 points and Iowa State 29. Kansas will be in its superiority in the major sport competition. Jayhawk teams have scored only 14 points in the five major sports, while Iowa State is second with 15 tabulation being by low score. Kansas has placed in minor sports having taken first places.
The Kansas baseball players have a chance to make real heroes of themselves in the baseball series to be played here tomorrow and Wednesday with Iowa State. Should Kanson kep the two games from Coach Louis Menin's championship which we have retained the all-sports championship which it won last year.
Iowa State has easily dominated in minor sports having taken first places in the two-mile run and swimming.
Competition Strong
Competition has been unusually strong in Big Six athletics this year. Kansas and Iowa state, who are at present tied for first place in the all-portside competition, are closely pressed by Oklahoma with 29 points, Kansas State with 29½ points and Nebraska with 31½ points. The school which has been in a hopeless position. The Tigers are in last place with 43½ points.
Allen Originated Plan
The all-sport average is compiled on the pentathlon system of counting one point for first place, two points for second place, three points for third, and so forth, according to place taken by each team. The total scores are compiled at the end of the season and the school with the lowest score is the all-sport champion.
F. D. C. Ally, director of athletics at the University, is the originator of the all-sports competition idea, having experience in intense competition in minor sports.
