RAYMOND w. PULLMAN,
Times WasAingtom Bureau. No. 704
Metropolitan Bank Building.
WASHINGTON. d. c., Oct. 2l.-
Not until the urgent deficiency bill
Was passed by both the house and
Senate and ready
"Anti-PubIiclty" to be signed by
Amendment. President Wilson
did government Of
fcials begin to think much about the
probable effect which the Gillett anti
publicity" amendment to the bill
might have upon the work Of several
of the departments In disseminating
information based upon Uncle Sans
scientific researches and statistical In
vestigations. The concensus OF opin'
ion seems to be that the Gillett amend
ment will fail to be effective because
OF the authors attempt to make II too
sweeping and his not making 1t more
specific. The amendment offered by
the Massachusetts, member OF con-
gress, and which was adopted by the
house some weeks ago and included
in the bill as It passed the senate,
provided that: No money appropri'

used for the compensation OF any pub
licity expert unless specifically appro-
priated for that purpose"
Although the amendment was OF
fered after the notice of an examina-
ton for q publicity expert In the ONCE
of good roads of the department OF
agriculture was read by Represents
tive Gillett to the house. Its intent was
not only to prevent the employment
Of such q man as was called for In the
examination, but II aimed to prevent
the use of any government money for
the compensation Of any publicity ex-
pert In q government bureau whose
employment Is prospective, or who Is
already included on the government
rolls. Government ofiicials believe
that anything SO sweeping as this
would interfere with some OF the most
important work which the govern
ment is doing in disseminating useful
information through articles prepared
for use In newspapers and magazines
The intent Of the law Is learned
from the speeches which were made
on the amendment in the house, Sept
Is, by Representatives Gillett, Fitx
gerald and others. The chairman OF
the appropriations committee said IN
speaking Of the bill that he had very
pronounced views about the "impropri

vice Of the government and that he

Fort Stanton Is today perhaps the
leading sanatorium operated BY the,
government for the tubercular pa.
tients, where help IL given the pa

the principal lines OF attacking the

tients are received are far advanced!
many OF the patients never attain the
exercise squads. A small number of
suitable cases are eventually assign.
ed light work for one hour q day, and
II this IL borne well the patients are
given some regular employment with
compensation. Last year the patients
on the sanatorium pay roll earned for
themselves more than $4,000, and In
private enterprises, such as clerking.
shoemaking and barbering, made more
than $4,000 more.
Great care Is given to the food of,
the patients. A full diet il allowed

will be glad to "see definite legisla-
ton enacted which will prevent the
use Of public money for any such pur-
pose unless congress specifically ana
deliberately authorized such employ
monts."
Although the intent OF the law was
to prevent the dissemination Of useful
Information through the medium Of
newspaper articles prepared In the bu-
reaug. ofIicials think that q careful
reading OF the law will show that II
will be impossible either for the con.
troller Of the treasury or the attorney
general to give a decision which will
interfere with any line of publicity
work which Ia now being carried on
by the departments. The publicity or
which Representative Gillett complain
ed included laudatory articles COM
mending the work OF q bureau or In
praise Of any man engaged In the
work. Such articles. so far as Is
known. seldom appear from any of the
bureaus now. The material which has
been written by men whose aim Is
to do nothing more than to issue quick
Investigations which were formerly

sued at great expense. The principal
departments In which this kind Of pub
licity work IL being done are the de-
partments Of agriculture, commerce,
interior and labor.

lieve that the amendment cannot pre-
vent the dissemination of information

pared by newspaper men employed
to handle publicity or by special
clerk who handles publicity work, 1t
Is probable that at the coming ses-

and perhaps one or two other cabinet
officers will seek to avoid further crit

priation to provide for the newspaper
