BRANTLEY PASTOR REPUDIATED BY
 RAINBOW BODY
Executive Committee Charges That Action Was Taken to Prevent Political Matters
 Entering Organization
By FRED H. GoRMLEY Montgomery Bureau. The Axe-IIeraid, 221-2 Flrst National Bank Building

Montgomery. July (special.)-- The executive committee of the Ala bama by Rev. Emmett P. Smith of erans, today repudiated letter mailed to the Baptist clergy of Ala bama by Rev. Elnnet P. Smith of Brantley, who signed himself former chaplain, 167th infantry. Rainbow di- vision" which urged the support of c. G. Brown for state treasurer. The executive committee expressly de- clared that the repudiation was not in the interest of George ". Ellis, the other candidate, but was intended to refute any impression that the Rain bow division, Veterans. were inter- ested in anybody's political cam paign.
 A 'FOrmer Chapinino
 Mir. Smiths letter was dated June 2S. The executive committee in reply declared it could raise no ob- jection If the letter had been written by Mir. Smith in his personal capac- ity, but since it was signed former chaplain," the inference was that Rainbow veterans were interested in Mir. Smiths movement.
 The reply declared that the organ izRtion is a memorial association, not interested in politics and has mem bers who are affiliated with the two major political parties.
 Committee Reply
 "The executive committee of the Alabama chapter of this organization desires that you be given the fullest assurance that the letter of the Rev. Emmett P. Smith of June 27 does not, in any sense. represent the sen- timent of the survivors of the One Hundred and Sixty-seventh (Ala- bama) infantry of the Rainbow di- vision," said the statement. You are equally assured-and this with out qualification-that practically none of our men in Alabama are subject to be influenced favorablv towards nor will they indorse or sup port any proposition or position be- cause it Is supported by the Rev. Emmett P. Smith.
 Tt Is especially desired that it be we'll understood that this letter Is written in the interest or support of neither of the two candidates for state treasurer. who are MT. c. G Brown and MT. George W. Ellis As stated. the purpose of this letter is to assure you that this organization Is not a political organization and that its members are not committed to any political party nor to any state faction of each.'
 The statement was issued by George A. Glenn, secretary treasurer of the Alabama chapter, under, the direction of the executive committee. Copies were sent to all Baptist clergymen of Alabama and to all members of the Alabama chapter of the Rainbow Division Veterans.

FEDERAL CIVIL
 SERVICE CLEARED
 0F BIAS CHARGES
Investigation Committee Re- ports That Political InfIu- enCe Not Exerted in Ex-
 amining Postmasters
By Associated Press

Washington, July Exchanges made recently that the federal civil service commission had been biased by political influence in it's examina- tion and certification of postmaster applicants, were declared to be with out foundation in report submitted to the Senate today by special com mittee which spent nearly three months in an investigation of the subject.
 AS filed, the report carried the sig natures of Senators Sterling of South Dakota, Colt of Rhode Island, Cum mins of Iowa, republicans sena- tor Ransdell of Louisiana, one of the democratic members had in formed the committee, 1t was said, | that he, too, would sign the docu- ment. The other democratic mem Der, Senator McKellar of Tennessee, Is In his home state and was un- able to indicate his views.
 Mistakes Made
 The report said that while there were mistakes made in the certifi- cation of candidates for the many places, the investigation 1t made would indicate that the mistakes were surprisingly few and that such as may have been. are due to errors of judgment and not to any wrong intent"
 Judged alone by the case pre- sented." the report went on, this committee believes that the work of the committee was ably performed and that political influence has not been used, or. If sought to be used, has had no effect in the examina- tons conducted under the supervi- sion of the commission or in the marking or altering of grades. It believes also that the acts of Con- gross and executive orders giving preference of former service men in appointment to office under civil service rules, have been observed by its examiners"
 Rules Cause Trouble
 Further in absolving the commis- sion of blame, the report said. 1t was believed that many of the contro
 versies as to postmaster appoint ments have arisen out of the rule requiring tho names of the three highest eligibles for appointment to be certified by the commission to the l appointing powers. It added that there remained a grave question whether there would not have been less complaint had that rule been abrogated and the name of only the highest eligible submitted. The committee members signing the report, said they had not called on members of the commission CT subordlnates to appear for testimony before it. but that 1t had obtained from the commission statement t covering every case which had been laid before 1t. The commission g readiness to furnish information caused the committee to take the course rather than go into verbal l testimony the report said.
