Macon Blugks Haile Objects In The House In Salary Fight
Representative Macon of Arkansas dominated yesterday's debate on pay raises for park system officials and a top public buildings officer. He delivered a pointed speech opposing the $600 raise for the district official while colleagues argued the merits of the post. Despite support from several members, Macon held firm, asserting the need to protect the plowboy and country clerk. The House also moved to approve Senate amendments to the urgent deficiency bill, increasing the overall appropriation to just over $1,000,000.
