DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer to be

the approval of the Senate Dis

Because Of the fact that the in

Gay. Taliaferro has definitely

Set Date Today
The hearings on the nomina-

largely a formality, held princi-
pally that certain trade organiza-

Crosby is ineligible for appoint

is on the retired list of the Army.
Administration leaders on the
District Committee, buttressed by
the lengthy opinion of the Attor-
ney General, are confident that
they can amply offset any argu-
mentS advanced by the citizens.
The Attorney General holds that

Crosby Is Needed
Even without the strong legal
opinion of the Department of JUS

Senators are confident that they
could put General Crosby over on
the ground that a strong char

Of law enforcement.
No opposition to the appoint

been expressed, and it is not ex-

Panther Fear Revived
When Hog Is Found
Strangely Slain

The panther is with us again.
At least that is the opinion of
a score of residents of North
Beach. Md. who viewed the re-
mains of a hog killed Saturday
night on the farm of Richard
King, near North Beach.
The hog, weighing 100 pounds,
was clawed from the head
down a large part of it's back,
and a portion of its body had
been eaten. According to the
panther experts" in this Sec
tion a dog could not have killed
the animal in that way.
Yesterday more than 100
persons journey to Kings farm
to look at she hog. all agree,
ing it was the work of
panther or wild cat.

OUTSIDE LABOR
NOW GETTING

Representatives of civic, buSi-
ness, labor, and builders organiza-
tions met today in the office Of
the Washington Chamber of Com
merce to discuss methods whereby
local persons considering the erec.
ton of buildings of any type can
be persuaded to give their work to
Washington contractors.
While those present at the meet
ing were unwilling to talk for pub
lication. it was learned that the
question of contracts for Federal
buildings in Washington was
brought up and discussed at
length.
Bearing On Work
Some of those present. it was
said, favored urging Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon, through
whom contracts for Government
buildings are let, to award con-
tracts for Federal structures in
Washington to Washington con-
tractors, srather than to outside
firms.
1t was pointed out that sew.
eral Federal buildings here are
being put up by outside firms
who imported their own labor,
while longtime residents of

work because of the slump in
building activities hege

that local contracts be award
ed the jobs.
The scope of buildings con
Struction considered embraced,
office buildings, stores, churches,
private homes; in fact al types
of buildings.
A number of those present
pointed out thai local firms
could handle contracts of this

side firms. with little or no in
crease in price over that sub
mitted by firms in other cities.
It was learned also. that the
industrial interest committee of

under the Craftsmanship of c..

sending letters to local architects
and contractors urging them to
place their business with Wash

About CompensatiOn Bill

Despite the fact that thero is plenty of space devoted in the news papers to the wrangle in Congress over legislation for disabled veter- ans, including a pension feature for the various degrees Of disability, To- cally there is no great stir among -servicemen who will benefit by the bill should it pass, simply be- cause little is understood about il,
 There are quite a number of vet crars Of the World War in this city who have been drawing compensa- ton from the government for dis abilities incurred during the period of their service but if an extension of time is granted, it is a certainty that many more of them will apply for compensation because of tho chances they will have of proving that disa Utilities which they now sui fer were caused through their serv- ice during the war.
 There are some items in the pro- posed legislation of which the ex- servicemen, locally. do not approve. One especially is the clause relating to those veterans who will be al- lowed to draw compensation for so- cial diseases they incurred during war times, The opinion of the great CT number of the servicemen in this city is that the army regulations were clear enough with regard to this matter and there is nc reason why men in this class should bene- fit the same as men who were wounded or contracted natural dis cases through their service.

When there crops up a ruction anent a city employe the entire town takes cognjzance.

 Yet what happens to John smiths Job is Just as important 10 John Smith as what happens to a political 5ob is important to his nerghbor who may be eating at the public corncrib.
 John Smith, reading the papers and noting the brabble over some public job, wonders why q public job is so much mors important than his own.
 What originates al the City Hall naturally looks terribly important, whereas what goes on in the Sand patch Gravel Machinery Company, though just as important to many an employe, gains no particular pub licity
 Maybe that shouldn't te. Maybe  rity Hal is not as important to the general run of us as inc other in stitutions in town. this especially being the case in view Of the many more persons employed by the other institutions.
 It is time, perhaps, to look into the other institutions, to see how they function as social forces as well as manufacturing institutions.
