/. UP WIVES
Commissioner Jesse Dell Sees
Injustice in Proposal to
Gust Married Women

Discharge Of married wom-
en- from Government employ
or placing restrictions upon
hiring them would, in effect,
be placing a penalty upon
marriage, and, therefore, op-
posed to good public policy, in
the opinion of Civil Service
Commissioner Jessie Dell.
The Commissioner has pointed
out that the Berlin Labor Court
recently delivered a judgment con-
firming the right Of married wonl-
en- to employment, in terms which
the United States might emulate.
Have Equal Rights
The German court based Its de-
cision, which ordered the offend
ing employer to pay indemnity to
the woman he dismissed, on the
German constitution which, like
most constitutions, guarantees
equal rights to all citizens.
The Judge ruled that discharge
Of q woman because she was mar
ried and another member Of her
family happened to be working,
was an unfair discrimination
against her sex: that If she had
not married she would not have
been dismissed; and that a WON
an has the same right to marry,
and to work, as has a man.
Proposal Called Unwise
The provision in the House
economy measure providing for
dismissal Of married women from
Government service If their hus'
bands are also employed by the
Government, is unwise and insup.

The five.day week for Federal

suit Of changed economic condi.
tions, in the opinion of Repre-
sentative John w. Mccormack
(R.), of Massachusetts.
He is pressing for an amend
ment to the economy bill to this
effect, declaring:
Instead of considering a re-
turn, even though temporary,
of the full six-day week for
Federal employees, we should
be considering the five-day

economic conditions resulting
from the machine era that

backward and has no place.

ECONOMY

Branding as dangerous prac.
tice and false economy the re-
duction of personnel or salaries
in the interest of economy il the
services of the employees are really
needed, Assistant Secretary Of
Commerce Julius Klein declares
the country today is suffering
from too much Of a reduction Of
both already.
In his weekly radio address, DR..
Klein pointed out that too low an
estimate is placed by outsiders
and sometimes by superiorS on
the value of brains in an organ
iZation.
Citing instances where mistaken
ideas in economy had reduced
personnel and salaries until ef"
ficiency was sacrificed and the
economy proved expensive in the
long run, the Assistant Secretary
summed up present arguments
being advanced for general re-
ductions in force and pay. He
said:
"The number Of really brainy
persons who have held high
positions and are still capable
of holding big executive posts,
who are now either jObleSs or
Subsisting on a pittance which
cannot permit them to do good
work, is a detriment to the
country and proves the prac.
tice wrong"

Sponsors of Measure Hope
for Passage at This
Session of Congress

Hope that the House Civil
Service Committee will report
favorably the proposal for OPP
tional retirement Of Govern
ment employees who have had
30 years. service, is being
voiced today by leaders and
spokesmen of the employees,
following the committees con-
sideration of the plan three
days this week.
Practically identical bills were
introduced early in the session
by Representatives Sirovich, La
Guardia, Celler, and Ludlow, and
at two public hearings and one

Hope for Passage ~
With the approval Of the Civil
Service Commission for the plan
expressed by e. Claude Babcock,
secretary of the commission; and
with various high Government
officials known to be favoring the
proposal. Federal employees be-
lieve Congress win pass the meas
ure at the session.
An argument that passage
would start a wholesale exodus
from the service of present en-
ployes who have served 80 years
is denied by enploye leaders.
Calling it a humane" plan to
effect the reduction Of personnel
apparently settled upon, spokeS-
men Of employees have informed
the committee that varieus el.
derIy employees who really wish to
retire now and have served 80
years or more are remaining on
their jobs merely not to sacrifice
their benefits.
No Rush to Retire
Since the average annuity
which the Government now pays
retired employees is about 5000.
the committee was reminded that
the idea of Luxurious ease" will
not cause a stampede for retire
ment.

FEDERAL HEADS
GUARD USE Of
j. 8. NAMES
Law Bars Words Implying Any
Connection With Govern
ment Bureaus

Government departmental
heads must guard against un-
authorized use of the name of
any governmental officer or
department by private con-
Germs.
A restaurant or shoe-repair shop
near the Commerce Department
Building, for instance, may call
itself the Commerce Cafe" or
the Commerce Repair Shop"
with impunity, but when any firm
or institution of dubious merit
tries to cash in on Government
name in an undesirable manner,
Uncle Sam is prepared for action.
The word Federal" is peculiar.
ly popular for all sorts of insti-
tutions. The words United
States" or Reserve" if applied
to financial institutions, lends a
tremendous prestige to them, and
implies governmental sponsorship.
However, under act of Congress
of 1926, it is unlawful to use such
words implying Government own
ership, obligation, or supervision,
in advertising or offering for sale
certain securities by banking, loan,
building, insurance and similar
businesses.
The Department of Justice is
now investigating complaints that
certain institutions are offering
as Federal Farm Loan bonds and
securities some which have no
relation to the Government at all.
