WASHINGTON, Apr. 2t (AP)
Swinging behind its leaders, a
weary and hard-driven house to
night approved sections In the
economy bill designed to save
I2S.000.000,
Earlier, It voted down the Hoo
ver payless furlough plan and ad
opted an 11 per cent wage cut for

about $12,000,000 for the bill.
The turmoil-shaken legislators
then turned to provisions restrict
ing allowances and extra compen
sation for federal employes, es
timated to save about $13,700,
000. but only after the Insurgent
coalition had been beaten down
on numerous amendments.
Portions of Planned
Economy Defeated
The Hoover five-day week and
furlough without pay plan, esti
mated to save about $82,000,000,
was offered as a substitute to the
emasculated McDuffie flat 11 per
cent proposal, exempting $1,000,
by Representative Ramseyer of
Iowa, republican member of the
economy committee. But It was
defeated 179 to 156.
Before the house finished with
the wage-cut provision the bi-par
tisan Opponents struck -out the
provision eliminating the Satur
day half holiday for federal em
ployes, estimated to save $9,000,-
000. Limitation of salaries of re
construction finance .corporation
employes to a maximum of $10,-
000 also was approved.
With $55,000,000 eliminated
from the expected savings of $67,
000,000 from the McDuffie wage
cut plan and the $9,000,000
through the defeat of the Satur

insurgents knocked $64,000,000
