ASKED
To LEAVE
BUREAU
j. E. Collins Charges Threaten
ed DIsmissaIs Violate Spirit
of Veterans Probe.

Employees Of the United States
Veterans Bureau, who appeared be-
fore the Senate committee investi-
eating conditions in the bureau
with what is reported to be de-
structive propaganda, which could
only have the effect of impairing
the morale and efficiency of this
institution" are beng requested to
resign, in direct violation of the
spirit of the inquiry, James e.
Collins, a teacher in the rehabilita-
ton center at Federal Park, Md,
declared today.
Resignation Requested.
Collins appeared before the COM
mittee and had read into the record
a scathing denunciation of the condi-
tions in the tailoring training shop
at Federal Park. His resignation
has been asked for in a formal let
ter from E. A. Shepherd, community
manager, stationed in the Veterans
Bureau here.
The specific charge against Collins
AS VI CO"OD0TaLlOn.'
Collins, a member of Harold Cole
Chapter, No. 5, Disabled American
Veterans, charged before the Senate
Investigating Committee that the
tailoring ira ming shop at Federal
Park was without a single facility
for teaching that trade, despite the
fact that he had asked for equip
ment in August, 1928.
The report upon which Collins dis
missal was based was made out by
r. White, supervisor Of tailoring at
Federal Park. A disagreement over
the policy to be pursued in the tailor
shop was followed by White de-
nouncing the disabled mems organi.
zation.
To Fight for Collins.
White is quoted as saying, II
don't give a damn about the dis
abled mems organization" He is
also charged with saying that the
American Legion was composed of
a lot of trouble makers"
In a sworn statement made bv
members of the Cole Chapter, White
is accused Of making a statement
to the effect that his influence was
more than enough to offset any.
thing that any organization could
say about him.
Members Of the Cole Chapter plan
to prefer charges against White
and seek to prevent the dismissal
Of Collins.

Bring Protests May With

Warfare upon the Bureau of
Efficiency was declared today BY
Senator MedilI Mccormick Of
Illinois, following the ordering of
an investigation of the activities
of the organization by the SEN
ate yesterday.
Senator Mccormick minces no
words in denouncing the Bureau
Of Efficiency, and especially in
regard to it's policies on reclassi-
ficatioIl issues.
Hard on Employees.
Scores Of cases have been
brought to my attention" said SEN.
ator Mccormick today, wherein
apparently injustice has been done
to Government employees. I have.
heard Of women who have long
served the Government faithfully
having their salaries reduced, say,
from 81 400 to $1,000 In the past
few months, so that any increase
they get under the reclassific
does not represent any real in
crease to them.
Senator Mccormick indicated HIS
purpose to make a most searching
investigation of the activities Of
the bureau. He is chairman Of
the Committee on Expenditures in
the Executive Department, which
will conduct the inquiry. His first
move viii be to obtain written data
from Herbert d. Brown, head Of
the Bureau Of Efficiency. Hearings
will begin after the Christmas hoIi-
days, according to the present plan
Of Senator Mccormick.
Many Protests Appear.
Political control Of the bureau OF
efficiency will be one angle that
the investigation will tae. It Is
claimed that Senator Smoot has
taken upon himself almost absolute
authority over affairs of the bureau.
The Senate is up in arms over this
situation. The reclassiffcatio
troubles have resulted In the flood
ing Of Senator'S desks with thou-
sands Of letters OF protest, and most
Bureau of Efficiency.
One Of the certain results OF the
present investigation is the amend
ing of the Reclassificatio act.
When the present Congress gets
through with it, it is likely that
the Bureau of Efficiency not only
win be stripped Of its present rep
resentation on the Personnel Clasa-
fication Board, but that the bureau
itself will be abolished. There Is
a movement on foot in Congress
now to deprive the bureau Of its
regular appropriation for the COM
ing fiscal year.

COUNTY TO ASK GREAT
STATE ROAD AID FUND

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. 3.-The
State Highway Commission at Tren-

state aid for the various counties of
their 1924 maintenance fund. Mid
dlesex county, received last year
S147,975 and it is the hope of the
county that a much larger allot-
ment will be made to them this year
Supervisor of Roads John Lesson of
this county, who has made a study
of roads in the state. said that the
division of state aid is not equitable
and fair to this county. He points
out that Middlesex county ranks first
on the list of mileage, having fifty
one more miles than any other eoun-
ty in the state. Bergen county Is
second. The majority of the coun-
ties Mr. Leeson states is able to
make their funds go far because Of
the fact that their roads have con-
crete or stone foundations. while the
roads in this county have usually
shale and clay as their base thus re-
quiring much repair and mainten-
ance work.

every hall in the town. The viola
tors will ne punished severely, the
