CIVIL SERVICE
BAR DENIED

DR.. Luther n. Reichelderfer,
president Of the Board Of Dis
trict Commissioners, today OBJ
jected strongly to published re-
ports which he interpreted as
limiting that the placing Of Dis
trict employees under the civil
service win result In discrimina-
ton against District residents IN
the making Of appointments 70
positions In the local govern
ment.
It is quite possible, he said,
that appointments Of residents
and non-residents to the District
service will be in approximately
the same proportion as are the
fiscal relations between the Dis
trict and the Federal Govern
ments. This plan has not been
definitely adopted, however.
It was pointed out that many
persons now employed by the Dis
trict were non-residentS at the
time Of their. appointment. but
this proportion viii not be In
creased, Commissioner Reichelder'
fer said.
Permissive Order
It was pointed out that the
new order Is merely q permisSiVe
one, permitting the use Of Civil
Service lists Of eligible persons
in the making Of appointments to
local Jobs. It viii not disturb
present employees Of the District
nor win it extend Civil Service
protection to present employees
or to those employed later from
the lists of the Civil Service.
1t is planned to make appoint
ments In such Q manner tnat
the majority Of persons appointed
to District positions in the tuture
viii be residents Of the DiStr1ct
or Of the neighboring territory.
Just how this will be done mas
not been fully decided, but It \
exnected that examinations fol
tDfstrfct appointments viii be
held only in washington anc
nearby places and that oniS
residents of the vicinity will be
certified to the Commissioners
by the Civil Service Commission
for appointment.
Tt is believed that this work
will not come under the ruling
recurring nationwide examina
tions for Civil Service positions
since the persons, when ap
pointed, will not be directly un
der the Civil Service.
The Chance Now
DIR. Reichelderfer pointed out
that residents Of the District, in
nany instances. are now dis
couraged from taking civil serv-
ice examinations due to the fact
that, under the quota or appor-
tionment law. they have little Or
no chance of being appo ointed.
The choosing Of District EN-
ployes from the civil service lists
viii. he hopes, result In more Dis
trict residents taking the exaIni-
nations, since there win be more
chance Of appointment for them
II they are found eligible.

have ramifications In the pro

Citizens Of Madrid were puzzled
and astounded by the sudden
appearance last night Of scores OF
detachments Of armed police, who
cordoned all public buildings and
the royal palace.
Tension Runs High
Shortly after reports circulated
that q revolutionary coup had
been frustrated and scores OF
leaders arrested, machine gun de-

LEGGE SEEKS
APPROVAL
OF PLAN
Agricultural Groups to Meet
With Sen. McNary Soon To-
Discuss Plea to Congress

The campaign Of the Federal
Farm Board to stabilize prices BY
buying up surplus wheat even
though the cost runs into hum
dreds Of millions Of dollars win
be placed before Congress for APP
proval ct the coming session. 1t
was learned today.
The boards stabilization pro-
gram, in which probably lOO,.
OOO,OO bushels of wheat have
been purchased to date and much
Of it taken off the market, will
require an additional appropria,
ton Of around 500, ,0OO, 900. This
policy has the sanction OF Press.
dent Hover, who conducted q SIM
ilar program during the war ct
an ultimate profit Of $4,000, 900.
Farm Groups TO Meet
The whole program win be laid
before the conference Of farm
leaders, called by Senator Nc.
Nary, chairman Of the Senate
Agriculture Committee, to meet
here Monday. If these leaders,
representing three great national
farm organizations, approve, Con-
gress will be asked to make the
additional appropriations.
The buying campaign was origi-
mated by Alexander Legge, chair
man Of the board. His present
purpose, which has Mr.. Hoover's
approval, is to buy up every
bushel Of surplus wheat, if Con-
gresS gives him the funds. He
is said to feel he can stabilize
the price Of wheat at around 81
q bushel, while making it eco
nomically unhealthy for specu-
latorS to gamble on further de-
Dlining prices.
Legge will describe his program
10 the farm leaders Monday. The
President win be represented at
this conference by Secretary OF
Agriculture Hyde. II they can
win the approval Of farm leaders,
this plan will be the Administra-
tion's principal effort during the
coming winter and next spring
to stabilize the prices OF farm
products. With wheat prices up,
the Administration believes the
prices Of other farm proouctS
will rise accordingly.
Debenture Fight Looms
The debenture plan OF farm
relief, which some farm organl-
cations and the Den1ocratlc-L In
elIrgent coalition indorSed, VIII
be sidetracked If the Legge plan
meets approval. Otherwise, the
Administration will face another
debenture battle in the coming
short session with persistent de.
nrands for q special session Of
the new Congress next spring II
the debenture is held up.
The McNary conference also
will be asked to approve the
proposed feed, seed, fertilizer
and gasoline loan to farmers in
81 drought-Stricken States. A
recommendation may also be
made to speed public building
and Federal road programs. In
the latter case, some $50, ,OOO, GOO
is awaiting distribution until the
States appropriate their shares
Of road construction costs.
The Legge plan, though, win
overShadoW all other measures.
J ii approved, 1t will represent the
greatest financial effort made
BY the Government since the
war to stabilize the price Of any
product. It will meet consider
able opposition, too, from those
legislators who look upon it as q
vehicle for plunging the Govern
ment into private business.

CLOTHING
IN SUICIDE TRY
Woman'S Condition Critical;
Illness Is Blamed.

While her husband and a daugh-
ter looked on, Mrs. Maude Pringle,
"A, of Thirteenth street and Pleas
ant Run boulevard, touched a lighted
match to her oil-drenched clothing
in the yard at her home late on
Wednesday.
She is at city hospital in a crit
ical condition.
Her attempt at suicide Wednesday
was the second within a week. Sew
eraI days ago she went to an in
terurban track and attempted to
step in front of a car.
Wednesday she soaked her cloth
ing with kerosene and walked into
the back yard to set herself afire.
Her daughter, Miss Grace Pringle,
heard her scream and ran toward
her. John Pringle, her husband,
ran from a garage and reached the
burning woman first. He jerked
burning clothing from her body,
while the daughter ran to the house
and returned with a bed covering
with which the flames were smoth-
cred.
A nervous collapse suffered by
Mrs. Pringle two years ago was
blamed by the family for her act.
