Temporary Employees to Go
First in Reductions
Of Force

A complete new procedure affect
ing dismissals and demotions IN
the Government service has been
promulgated by the Personnel
Classification Board.
In all cases involving reduction
OF working force, temporary EN-.
ployes are to be discharged before
the permanent ones, the board de-
crees. Only in cases where the
work done by the temporary en-
ploye cannot be properly done by
one on the permanent roll can the
former be retained in preference TO
the latter.
All appeals from discharge de-
cided upon by the departmental
officers must be made to the per-
sonnet board within five days after
notification the new rules declare:
They also require that 'the head OF
each department, where any reduc-
ton of the working force is con-
templated. win compile a list
showing the separation rating OF
air competing employees in his de-
partment who are allocated to the
classification grades in which de-
motions or separations are to be
made" The personnel board must
be given all information relating
to dismissals, so that it can review
whatever cases are necessary.

eminent workers again has fig

lower than the salary they are re-

WITS REFUSED
IN FRAT"
SUIT
Justice Bailey viii Hear Both
Sides Present Case on
Its Merits

Prospects for a decision favorable
to the Board Of Education in the
frat suit were brighter today
following the refusal OF Justice
Jennings Bailey, of the District
Supreme Court, to. issue writs of
mandamus directing reinstatement
OF three honor students without a
hearing. Further. evidence will be
submitted to the court by school
board and fraternity counsel at q
hearing to be opened tomorrow.
The fraternity boys were direct.
Cd to present further argument to
sustain their contention that the
anti-fraternity ruling Of the Board
OF Education was adopted irregu-
larly. The board win have an
opportunity to explain its motives
for adopting the frat" ruling. This
will place the case on the merits
Of the question Of anti-fraternity
legislation.
School officials are known to be
hopeful of placing convincing argu-
ments before the court on the prin-
ciples involved in ruling fraterni-
ties out of the high schools. Alleged
undesirable situations in other cities
resulting from fraternity activities,
and decisions favoring their disbar-
ment will be cited.

The Sixteenth street reservoir,
Colonel Sheriff. said, can be made
into a magnificent swimming pool,
large enough to accommodate sew

expense. Construction of a sloping
approach into the water at one

be needed, he said.
This reservoir, while not now in
use, still is a part of the District
water system and cannot be used
for swimming purposes until aban-

office. No legislation by Congress
will be necessary to accomplish
this purpose, Colonel Sheriff. said.
