CIVIL SERVICE
PROBE TO Be
PUSHED
Mail Tampering and Violation
Of ApportiOnment Law Are
Laid to Commissions Door

The coming term Of Congress
is expected to see an effort to
force to a conclusion the investi-
cation, begun some time ago, into
alleged illegal practices in the
u. s. Civil Service.
The probe was begun some two
years ago by a Senate committee,
but no definite action has ever
been taken. At the last term Of
Congress a resolution by Senator
Thomas Heflin d., Of Alabama,
demanding that the report Of the
investigating committee be made
at once, was adopted, but the term
closed without this action having
been taken. Supporters Of the
probe have openly limited that
members Of the committee were
u1duly influenced by lobbyists
who wished the report withheld.
Charges ranging from violation
of the apportionment law to tam
pering with United States mails
were hurled at the committee SeS-
SionS by persons who claimed to
have been illegally dismissed from
the civil service. Testimony of
officials Of the civil service, al
legedly admitting violations Of
the law was also introduced.
Woman "RaiIrOaded"
The investigation was launched
as a result Of the persistent ef-
forts of a group of former Civil
Service employees, whose claims
were placed before the committee
by an attorney. In one case the
complaint was made that a GER
tain woman, an employe in the
Civil Service, had been rail
roaded" to st. Elizabeth'S Hospi-
tai, without representation by
counsel or a jury hearing, by
those who wished her removal
from the Government service.
Dismissed employees of the Civic
Service have formed an aSSocia-
ton, known as the American
Equity Association, and under
that name have solicited the sup
port Of Senators, Representatives.
governors and other public Off
cialS in forcing a probe into the
alleged illegalities Of the service.
They claim that, with the eXcep-
ton of three States, no State is
given its proper number of en-
ployes in the service under the
apportionment act.
Mail Tampering Charge
Officers Of this sSocia t ion
charged that letters sent to public
officials were opened and the con-
tents read, and that private de-
tectives, allegedly hired by cor
rupt officials, followed the former
employees as they went about the
streets, even "Shadowing" them
into apartment houses, reStau-
rants and other places.
Another matter laid before the
committee involved a weIl-knOwn
local business organization. This
organization, it was charged,
launched a campaign against the
former employees at the instigation
of certain Government officials.

HOOVER GREETS
. LEADING JEWS

Delegates to the American Jew
ish Congress opened their conven-
tion in Washington today by
calling upon President Hoover at
1890 O'Clock this afternoon.
The Congress swung into action
this afternoon, taking up the sub
ject of determinations against
the Jewish race, with David l..
Podell and Dr. Mordecai SolteS
making reports upon this issue.
The 400 delegates to the CON
gress were assured Of renewed
help from Great Britain in build
ing upf their Palestine center by
Harry Smell, member Of the Brit
ish Parliament, who was the guest
of honor at a banquet last night
officially opening the two-day con-
Vention.
Mr.. Smell declared that the
British Empire had always 1oi
lowed a sympathetic policy with
respect to Jews in all Of it's ma
tional possessions. He added:
every nation has a rightful
claim to racial preservation and
to cultural identity, and the
Jewish contribution to CiviliZa-
tiOn makes its claim almost in
conteStabIe. NatiOnalisnl is an
evil only when it develops into
extra-natiOnalism and Self-adOr-
atiOn." ~
In connection with the report
on determinations against Jews
in this country, report made to
the congress last night charged:
"AntiJewish discrimination in
this country, though it seeks to
shun the light Of public knOwI
edge, has assumed dangerous
proportions.
There is evidence Of an in
creasing tendency. to deny en-
plOyment to Jewish men and
women on no other grounds
than that of their faith and
race"
Recent reports on the Hitler
6uti-Semetic activities in Germany
were also discussed yesterday by
Bernard S. DeutSch, president. IN

TAX
INCREASE IS
FAVORED
AGENT Levy Per Gallon Would
Replace Personal Property
Tax Under Present Plans

Eventual abolition of solid-tire
trucks from the Capital streets
will be one Of the major problems
to be studied by the traffic ad-
visory committee when it meets
tonight at 8 o'clock in the Dis
trict Building to draft final recon-
mendations to the District Com
missioners.
The solid-tired vehicles, ex-
tremely destructive to paved
streets, will be eliminated grad
ually, it is understood, by restrict
ing registration only to those
trucks owned and heretofore reg
iStered in the District.
Gas Tax Increase
The committee will, it is be-
lieved, recommend an increase in
the gasoline tax to cents a
gallon, the almost universal tax
rate in effect throughout the
nation.
To the road and street fund
would be credited all collections
from the motor fuel tax registra-
ton fees, Borland tax and oper-
ators' permits fees, in place of the
personal property tax on motor
vehicles.
A registration fee Of 50 for pri-
vate passenger vehicles, with a
$40 fee for electrically-propelled
vehicles. has been recommended
in committee meeting, it was
learned. Gross weight would be
used to determine the schedule
OF fees for all private vehicles in
excess of 5000 pounds. The basic
fee for commercial vehicles would
be set at 81, SO for hacks and
rent cars. $50 for sightseeing
busseS, $50 for interstate buses.
S35 for intracity buses, and So
for motorcycles.
$25 Asked On Tags
1t has also been proposed that
dealers be charged $25 for the
first two sets of license plates
issued them, and 50 for each ad-
dltlonal set of plates.
Assistant Traffic Director M.
Q. Eldridge is chairman of the
committee dealing with the an.
tiquated vehicles. One of the
recommendations which this
committee will probably make
will deal with the sale of old
automobiles by the Metropolitan
Police Department.
Would Junk Old Cars
At these sales some automo-
bileS are sold for as low as so
cents. It is believed that the
committee will recommend that
the police department refrain
from selling such wrecks for
any other purpose than for junk.
At the recent meeting of the
committee, recommendations call
ing for an eventual all-night
parking ban: abolition of the left
turn; elimination of trees on
New York Avenue, between Ninth
and Thirteenth Streets North
west, to provide additional traf-
fic lanes; transfer of the SuSpen-
sion, revocation and reiSSuance
of permits from the Traffic Di-
rector'S office to another District
bureau, and changing the title
| of the Traffic Director to Traffic
Engineer and assigning him
solely to engineer and traffic re-
search problems were among the
reports approved.
