DENIES TRAINING SCHOOL
CHARGE BY SENATOR
Mr.. Jones Says Classification Com
mission Has Not Ex-
ceeded Authority.

Replying to a charge made in the
Senate last week by Senator Smoot
of Utah to the effect that the joint
commission on recla ssification of
government employees in the District
Of Columbia had exceeded its au-
thority. Senator Jones of New Mexi-
co, chairman of the commission, to-
day declared there was no foundation
for such a statement.
Amy one reading the colloquy which
appeared in the Congressional Rec
ord and in which the senator from
Utah took part. would naturally be-
lieve that this joint commission was
going to establish a training school
for government employees and pay for
1t out of its funds,'' said Senator
Jones. There is. no substance to such
a claim. The senator from Utah read
some articles published in local pa
pers, upon which he based his charge.
AS matter of fact. there Is no founda-
tion in the articles themselves for any
such claim.
They do not say that the commits
sion is going to establish training
school. They merely convey a little
information to the thousands of gov
ernment employees here and point out
that the commission has appointed
number of advisory committees to
consider various subjects, among
which is the establishment of a train
ing school for government employees.
There is no thought in the minds OF
the commission. nor anything In these
articles, to justify the idea that the
commission is going ahead to estab-
lish such a training school"
Senator Jones also said that the de-
bate in the Senate included insinua-
tions that the commission was con-
trolled by some outside influences.
He denied this absolutely.
