PERMITS FOR Z
NEW BUS Lines
Asked Of CITY
Jersey City Men Plan to OPP
crate Cars With Capacity
of Forty-five.

Additional motor bus service for
Washington appeared likely today
when application was made by two
Jersey City men for permits to
operate buses on a series of streets
here.
Albert David and william Cath
cart. the applicants In question,
propose TO put into service busses
having capacity OF forty-five per-
sons-twenty standing and twenty,
five seated--and TO maintain a five
minute schedule.
A straight fare of eight cents
will be charged as obtains ON the
buses now operated by the Wash
ington Rapid Transit Company.
David proposes TO use the follow
Begin at Fifteenth street and

Carthcart applies for permit
to operate two routes. The frst Is:

Nineteepth street 10 X street
to Tenth street northwest; south on

| trip over the same route.
This route was granted last year
to the Washington Rapid Transit
Company for additional bus service,
but was never used. The Public
Utilities Commission. which passes
on all applications for bus lines,
has not yet established a precedent
on the question of whether there
should be competitive bus lines on
the same street. II hasn't been de-
termined whether the Cathcart ap'
plication will be granted.
Paul c. Robinson made applica-
ton to the Utilities Commission to-
day to operate a bus from Eighth

to the District Line, via Pennsyi-
vania avenue. The bus will oper-
ate between Washington, Cedar
Hill, Nd. and Suitland, Md. He
proposes to charge a five-cent fare.

which Macintosh is sales director
and advertising manager, is attrib'

Maclintosh's rise in the world was,
from his first position. that OF editor
of a juvenile journal, when he was
but fourteen years old, certain, but
unchartered.
In grammar school, he wrote
poetry. His teachers marveled, and
he declares that he almost went
wrong when his first ambition was
to be a poet.
Paternalistic influence. however
had its sway and Macintosh com
promised by becoming section hand
on a railroad. From such an humble
beginning, he combined his literary
preferment with his position and was
soon editor of a logging journal.
AS editor of the logging journal
he travelled to every nook and cor
ner OF the United States and In
many other countries getting a
touch of the north woods. probably
enjoyed by few business men oi
the day.
From logging publications he
gradually changed his field OF en-
deavor, lettering himself by each
change until he finally became the
head OF his own advertising agency
and identified with several Other
advertising agencies.
During the war he was editor oi

Bill Said to NulIify Provisions
of Sterling Act and Aid
''Spoilsmen."

Administration forces in the
Senate have begun new drive
against reclassification legislation
at this. session of Congress.
Under the leadership Of Senator
New of Indiana. one of the Prcsi-
dents spokesmen. an effort is be-
ing made to block reclassification
Legislation with so-called "effi-
cheney BILL" which would destroy
the whole system of classifying
employees worked out in the Ster-
ling-Lehlbach bill.
Plan TO Balk Employees.
Senator Sterling, the leading Sen
ate supporter of reclassification.
would not come out In direct oppo-
sition to the new measure today,
but IL was learned from other
sources that the bill is regarded as
an attempt OF the bureau of effici.
ency, supported by the reorganiza-
ton commission and other agencies,
to checkmate the efforts of Federal
employees to force through Congress
q genuine reclassification system.
Under the terms of the new bill
the bureau of efficiency would be
authorized to establish a system of
efficiency ratings for the civil serv-
ice in the various executive depart
ments. The bill provides:
This system shall provide a mini
mum rating of efficiency which
must be attained by an employe
before he may be promoted; II shall
also provide a rating below which
no employe may fall without being
denoted; also a rating below which
no ernploye may fall without being
dismissed for inefficiency. All pro.
motions, demotions, and dismissals
shall be governed by the provisions
of this act; provided. however, that
the provisions of this act shall not
prevent the dismissal of any en-
ploye for violations of the civil
service rules"
Sweeping Powers Given.
The Bureau OF Efficiency Is given
sweeping administrative powers un-
der the bill. IL is charged with the
formulation OF a system OF eff.
cheney ratings and department
heads are directed TO promote, de
mote, and dismiss employees In ac-
cordance with them
The act also provides a fine. OF
1000 or imprisonment OF not more
than one year. for violation OF the
law, and amy officfala ''knowingiy
Violating anysof its Provisions shall
be sunrnsrily removed from Office
This bill while Il does not lestab-
hsh reclassif ificationssy system for
Federal en- ployes, is,4n eonflldt with
Irfany OF the salient features OF the
Sterling Lehlbach reclassification
bin. IL is said. 1t does not provide
the civil service worker with any
opportunity for a hearing in case
he believes that he has not been
properly rated by his superior in
charge, and does not even provide
that he be permitted to know what
his efficiency rating is. Opponents
OF the bill say IL would afford an
easy method by which the civil
service statutes could be disregard
ed and the entire Federal service
placed under the "spoils system"
There is considered little prospect
of it's being reported favroably by
the Senate Civil Service Committee.
