Before its failure L. W. Wagner 6.

of air service, addressed to the Secre-
tary of War, setting up the reasons why
settlements of certain war contracts in
the air service ought to be reinvestigat-

thereto.
AN additional reason for the exercise
of both care and haste in respect to
these papers is that it is almost certain
that they will soon have to be produced
before n special committee of the House

of the activities of the air service, War

There isn't anything in these par

There are statements there which

Asked about the Atlanta drug in

The director also said he had told AS

the situation at Atlanta and thought
he had also told Daugherty about it.
Burns said he believed that the in
Vestigation would have reached ''the

House Committee Authorizes
Special Rule to Consider
LehIbach Measures.

The House rules committee today
authorized a special rule to give
privileged consideration in the House
TO the Lehlbach resolution which pro-
poses to abolish the Personnel Clas-
sification Board and to transfer its
duties to the Civil Service Commits
sion.
The rule reported out puts re-
striCtion of one hours time for gen.

iion, which has the unanimous sup

nittee
In arguing for the special rule
Chairman LehlbaCh of the House
civil service committee and author of
the resolution to abolish the Per
sonnel CLASSIFICATION Board advised
the rules committee that each of the
three members of the board had tes-
titled that in their opinion the board
should he abolished.
Says Congress Disregarded.
"It has not functioned efficiently:
there are irreconciIable differences
between the members as to the ad-
ministration of the board" Repre-
sentative Lehlbach said.
He reviewed the history of reclassi-
ftcation and called attention of his
colleagues tn the fact that the plan
was to set up Il skeleton orEline and
10 appoint 4 commission to fit into this
the personnel. The board has re-
fused to so ahead and fix classified
tionS as provided by law" he said.
IF the viii of Congress is to be
carried out some organization must
be set up to take charge Of classi-
fication. All of the functions with
regard to the personnel, should be
vested in the Civil Service Commits
SION.
Prompt Action Needed.
He emphasized the need for prompt
action because the field service re
ports should have been made last
September and the work in the Dis
trict has not yet been completed. IiC
argued that il will be necaSSArv be-
fore July l to pass this Legislation
in order 10 have the revision eiiec-
tive during the coming fiscal year.
Representative Iehlbach refutch the
charges that this change would increase
the cost Of classification. He told the
committee is unanimous in supporting
the resolution TO abolish the personnel
classification board and vest its funC-
tionS in the Civil Service Commission.
He said that ne did not believe the civil
service committee would have a day in
the House on which it could call up this
measure before well along in the sum-
