CLASSIFICATION
FOES WATCH
SMOOT
Senator's Suggestion for
New Bureau Seen as Move
to Preserve Patronage.

A crude design to block the
passage Of the House bill abolishing
the Classification Board and Blu
reau of Efficiency when 1t comes
up for consideration, by the Senate,
is the Characterization being given
Senator Shoots suggestion to
create a new bureau replacing the
Classification Board and Bureau OF
Efficiency.
what Senator Smoot is attempt
ing to do Is to throw dust in the
eyes Of the Senate and the public,
and by creating an unnamed board,
prepare the way to perpetuate the
abortive attempts to carry out the
Intentions Of Congress as expressed
in the classification act" declared
federation member today.
why does he not come out nat
footed and admit that House bill
destroys a valuable vehicle for
patronage in disguise when 1t
throws classification and efficiency
under the control of the Civil
Servise Commissionf His tactics are
those Of the lightweight politician,
and he should be requested to ex-
plain how he expects to get away
with insulting the intelligence of
the Senate and Of the mass OF Fed
eral employees by any such expedi-
ept as he suggests"
Federal employees. it Is learned,
are bringing every influence at
command to bear on the House to
insure the passage Of the bill by a
majority 80 large that the Senate
will accept it as a warning and
act accordingly. A cleverly directed
fight is expected in the Senate
when the bill comes up for con-
sideration.
Opponents of the measure are
conceded by Federal employees to be
among the shiftiest members of the
Snate. If there Is any way In
which the bill can be amended 30
as to make concurrence impossible,
the amendments will be put through,
it is predicted, with the certainty
that the ultimate fight over the
measure will be one Of the hottest
Of the session.

ROME, March 25.-Thousands of
communications, some by word of
mouth. and others by cable and

Mundelein, of Chicago and Cardinal
Hayes, Of New York, who have just
been created princes Of the Roman
Catholic Church.
The two new Cardinals held q
reception, and hour after hour visi.
tors streamed into their temporary
residences offering best wishes for
the future. These visitors included
members Of the papal diplomatic
corps, members of the papal en-
tourage and thousands Of American
and other visitors as well as resi-
dents Of Rome.
New Cardinals Happy.

Despite their exertions the two

SCORES MADDEN
AMENDMENT.
TOPAY ACT
L. H. Wittner Says Change
Would Kill U. S. Workers
Promotion Chances.

Declaring that the Madden amend
ment to the classification act would
kill the chance Of the Government
worker for promotion, Loren H.
Wittner, chairman Of the depart
mental classification protest commit
tee, launched a vigorous attack on
the proposed change, in q letter
written today to Congressman Lehl-
bach, chairman of the House Com
mittee on Reform in the Civil Serv-
ice.
The Madden amendment covers
all appropriation bills for depart
mental employees with the exception
Of the Bureau Of the Budget, Witt
ner stated in his letter. and it kills
the chance for promotion.
1T disregards individual ef-
ficency If the employee is forced be-
low the average compensation in
any grade UNDER the classification
act" the letter stated.
The Madden amendment, Wittner
continued, limits the promotional
range to three promotions and mul.
tiplies the existent grades by forcing
one-half of the employees to accept
compensation below the average,
thus establishing a grade from the
minimum to the average or medium,
and from the average tos the
maximum.
Efficiency means nothing under
the amendment he stated. Under
the classification act a uniform sys-
tenn Of efficiency rating is to be es.
tablished Which shall set forth the
degree Of efficiency which shall
constitute ground for any increase,
continuance at the same compensa-
ton, decrease and dismissal
The Madden amendment. he said,
would kill this feature of the act.

Cape Hatteras Claims
Third Ship Victim
In Ten DAYS

NORFOLK, Va, March 25:--
It. is now believed in shipping
circles here that the mysterious
S. o. S. calls received at the
Hampton Roads naval commu-
nications station late Saturday
night came from the Atlantic
Fruit liner Glyndon, which went
down with three Of her chief
officers sixty miles off Cape
Hatteras, N. G.
It was pointed out at the
time that the .undecipherable
cry Of distress might have been
sent out on an improvised radio
set. It's sudden breaking off
led to the belief that disaster
had befallen some vessel before
she could give her location and
name.
The Glyndon is the fifth vic
tim of Cape Hatteras in the
last few months, and the third
within ten days.

Congressman Anthony Of Kansas.
who is in charge Of the bill, does
not anticipate serious fighting over
any provision of the bill. The size
Of the army is not changed from
last year when 1t was fixed at
10000 officers and $4,000 men ex-
elusive Of the Philippine Scouts.
There are no new provisions in the
bill.
There is some dissatiSfac tion with
the lump sum appropriation OF
$37 ,250,000 for the rivers and har-
bors improvements. Waterways ad-
vocates do not think this a suffi-
cient sum to meet the needs Of the
inland waterways and the harbors,
and they would prefer to make the
apportionment among the several
projects than have this done by the
Rivers and Harbors engineers.
The committee allowed within
100000 of the amount recon-
mended by the Bureau of the
