Responding immediately to Pres

congress is underpaid, two sena
tors hastened today to introduce
legislation hlkirie the lawmak-

to $20,000 a year. -
The bill sponsored Dy (sena
tors Overman (D-La.) and
Bridges (R-N.H.) also- would
boost tne vice president irora
$15,000 to $25,000, and cabinet
officers from $15,000 to $20,
000. The speaker of the house
and- the president pro tempore
of the senate, now drawing $15,
000, would make $25,000 if the
bill became a law.
i The legislators have a verDai
ffnnrnntee from Mr.. Truman,
too, that he would sign such a
bill. He told his news confer
ence ' yesterday that he knew
from his 10 years experience as
a senator that it was hard to
try to get along on $10,000 in
Washington. '
The salaries of members of
congress stood at $3000 a year
until 1907, when they were
boosted to $7500. The Increase
from $7500 to $10,uuu came in
1825.

NEW YORK, June 8 (ff) The
New York Times published to

Aires correspondent Arnoldo Cor
tesl, saying he was warned late
Tuesday night by the Argentine
minister of the interior, Admiral
Alberto Teisaire, "not to be sur
prised at anything that may hap
pen to you.''
The Argentine official was re
ported incensed by Cortesi's dis-
Satch of a week ago in which
le correspondent said the Far-rell-Perone
government had "de
prived the Argentine people of!
what small remains of freedom
they still possessed."
Cortesi's delayed dispatch,
filed Wednesday, said Teisaire
charged him with "malicious ef
forts to create a difficult situ
ation" for Argentina, and re
counted: "The government, he said,
will not allow newspaper men
to embarass Argentina's foreign
policy."

convicted for abusing patients.
In his letter to the Brooklyn dis
trict attorney he said there was
evidence of "rather severe abuse

treatment of patients in the
Northport mental hospital.

Former Law Officer
May Be Returned
To Klamath
Ex-Police Chief Earl Heuvel
of Klamath Falls is in jail at -Little
Rock, Ark. J
Sheriff Lloyd L. Low dis
closed today that Heuvel was
arrested in the little Arkansas
town of Kensett after a tip from '
the sheriff's office here put FBI
agents on the ex-chief's trail.
He was arrested on a fugitive
warrant charging unlawful
flight to avoid prosecution. He.
fled Klamath Falls late in Janu
ary, and is under indictment
by the Klamath county grand
jury on four morals charges,
with total bond of $21,000.
The sheriff said that steps to
bring Heuvel here to face prose
cution will be taken immed
iately, and that it is probable
he will be returned to this state
by the FBI. .
Worked In Kensett .
Information received here is
that Heuvel has been working
in a repair shop at Kensett, a
town of 850 population, under
the name of Henry Knapp, for a
man named Demar Palmer.
Heuvel's trail became warm
only a few days ago, when, it
was learned that a check signed
by him was cashed at a bank
in Aurora, 111. Sheriff Low
wrote immediately . to Police
Chief Fred Hess of Aurora, who
supplied - the Klamath sheriff
with . the information that
Heuvel was at Kensett, Ark.
Sheriff Low conferred with the
FBI, and Heuvel was arrested ,
at Kensett yesterday afternoon. .
It was the understanding here
that a check from Heuvel in the
amount of $1400 was presented -for
cashing at Aurora. It was i
written in favor of a man named
Sam Marks, and endorsed by. .
Walter Bolz and' Fred. Hambly.
Sheriff-Low said he understood
Palmer is supposed to have.
taKen "the" c h e c"k""to" Aurora,
which is several hundred milts
away and across two state lines
from Kensett, Ark. i
rieuvei Traced
After the check was cashed.
the incident came to the atten
tion of authorities and Heuvel
was traced through the endors
ers at Aurora,' who apparently ,
knew that Heuvel was at Ken--,
sett. '
Sheriff Low said that other- .
wise the check-cashing at Auro-.
ra might have thrown , the au
thorities on tne trail.
Heuvel's arrest follows more
than four months of country- .
wide search for him, which, be
gan when he forfeited ball after
his indictment on, a charge of
contributing to the delinquency
of a minor girl.
