Panzram has confessed that he killed

to escape trial on charge of

he has refused to talk about the

Pc R DIE NJ
PLOYES
DIVIDED

The 5000 per diem employees
of the District Government are
hopelessly divided on the ques-
ton of whether to come under
the provisions of the retire
ment law and the Commission
ers may be forced to take
arbitrary action in the matter.
The original law. enacted in 1920,
did not include per diem employees,
Since that time several attempts
have been made by certain individ-
uals many years in service TO enjoy
its advantages. Others have said
it was not attractive to them.
Department heads during the past
week have sent circulars to all per
diem employees asking IL they wished
to have the act amended so as
to include per diem employees.
Generally II would cost an en-
pIoye from 5000 to $500 to come
under the law Few per diem en-
pIoyes can raise this sum on short
notice. Their pay on the average
is $3.6S per day, and they are paid
by the week. Under the law ga per
cent of their pay would be held
out each week for credit to them
in the retirement fund.
If an employee is TO reap full
advantage of retirement 1t has been
held that he must make UP in cash
the payments he would have paid in
since the law became operative in
1920. The law originally exacted
~ per cent payment but now re-
quires 3l2 per cent.
"A conference has been called for
November 10, between the District
auditor and department heads. At
that time consolidated report Is
due which would reflect whether
per diem employees favor or oppose
the proposed amendments to the
law.
The individual reports are due
on. or before October q. tomorrow.
To date only a few groups have
expressed an opinion and many of
them oppose the amendment, hold
ing that they cannot spare the
deductions

head of the Jail. A short time later
he wrote a letter to the chief of
police of New London. Conn. in
which he declared that he had killed

One of the cardinal princi-

that Government employees

work, is being violated by
the Personnel Classification
Board in its administration of
the Welch pay act, it was

As a result there are many places
in the Government service where
employees may be found working side
by side, performing the same duties,
but getting different salaries.
Violation of this cardinal rule OF

Board is faced with the dilemma of
either violating the equal pay for

law which provides that it shall
classify positions, according to their

The WEIGH act. as it was finally
passed, was drafted by members of
the Personnel Classification Board
They intended that some employees
of grades 4 and IL should go into
the new grades and II, but that
other employees of these two grades
should go into the new grades 4

After the act became law. McCarl

We have left the body? know by direct experience. What I have as- certained in this connection Is that those whom we call dead are not dead, but just separatedV from the bodily mechanism.
 q have been in touch with the minds of certain people who have parted from their bodies. (Contin- ued Doyle).
 "How can the mind get in touch with us when 1t has no material body? It borrows some material form. but that does not mean that spirits have no bodies. They have substantial bodies, not made of matter but, as think, of ether My experience after 50 years is that this is the truth.
 People who have parted from their bodies dem onstrate that they preserve their memories, characters and affections. Their love continues and they only hope that We will not grieNe for them unduly."

 M. Briand explained that Great Britain and France had different opinions how to treat the problem of naval disarmament.
