ROBBERS KILL VICTIM
WITH WAR GAS MASK
Body of Strangled Man Is Found
in Excavation in Outskirts
of Boston.

BY the Associated Press.
BELMONT, Mass, April 4.-The
body of Alexander Buchanan, a car
penter known as Sandy" was found
in an abandoned excavation near the
Mclean Hospital today. He had been
strangled and robbed
A gas mask of Canadian manufac-
ture had been tied tightly over
Buchanan's mouth. and Medical Ex-
amirer Dow of Cambridge said the
mask and stranguiation had caused
his death. His pockets were turned
inside out his watch was gone and
his hands had been lashed together
behind one knee. Police said they
believed Buchanan to have been a
Canadian or American World War
veteran.
The carpenter was last seen at sos
Friday evening when he left the hos
pital after visit to his sister, Chris
tiana. in training there as a nurse, to
go to sthe home of his mother, 20
minutes walk. A garage man going
down a path from the hospital to the
street today saw bank book at his
feet which later was found to be
Buchanans and soon found Buchan-
ans body in a four-foot excavation 10
feet from the path.
Buchanan lived In the South End
district of Boston with his brother,
Charles Buchanan, jr. He was said
to have been out of work for some
time. Police said that the victim was
in the habit of making regular visits
to his sister every Tuesday and Fri
day, and that the murderer, aware of
this. had probably lain in wait for
him as he descended the path. The

N. Fl. f. TO PRESS
PLANS IN CONGRESS.
Personnel Manager, SUD-
sistence Allowance and An
nuaI Leave Stressed.

Committed to a policy of co-ordi-
mating and standardizing activities
of the personnel in the Governm ent,
the National Federation of Federal
Employers, official mouthpiece of or
ganized Government employees, is
drawing up program for presenta-
tion to Congress next December en-
bracing many points on which the
executive committee acted at recent
meeting.
The federation will place before
Chairman Couzens of the Senate civil
service committee, and Chairman
Lehlbach of a similar committee of
the House, program for legislative
action embodying radical changes in
administration in the Government
service.
Want Personnel Manager.
Among the changes favored are:
Establishment of a Federal perma-
nent board or appointment of per-
sonnel manager to adjudicate all mat
ters of personnel.
Complete and final Standardization
of working conditions.
Liberalization of the funds allowed
Government employees while away
from base on Government business.
Definite and legal establishment of
the right of Government employe to
receive the 30-day annual leave
granted him when heJ takes the job.
On the first point, the Civil Service
Commission has taken stand
definitely with the Government en-
ployes' organization in favor of it's
esta blishment.
The amount allowed Government
employees for use when travelling on
Il fAr
subsistence-is inadequate, according
to Government officials, in the face
of rising costs OF meals and hotel ac-
commodations. bat nothing has been
done about it.
Leave Iss ne ConSid cred.
The federation takes the stand that
80 days annual leave is either a right
or Is not a right. The employe who
takes a Government job should know
and be sure that he is entitled to and
will get a certain amount of annual
leave, whether. 1T be 80 days or less,
the federation believes. And most of
them get hess. according to figures
made public by the chief clerks of the
departments.
Conditions in some Government of
fees. according to Luther c. Stewart,
president of the federation, due to
press of work or to other factors,
make it impossible for all employees
to get part or sometimes any of the
annual leave they normally should
enjoy.
The federation believes that although
initiative should be encouraged, Gov
ernment positions are SO standa rdiZed
that working conditions should be
stanfardized also in every respect,
and will push program designed to
bring this about
