BY PLANNING GROUP
Commission Decides to Make
Retiring Landscape ArChi-
tect Member Emeritus.

Frederick Law Olmsted, jr., Brook
line Mass. landscape architect. who as
sisted in laying cut plans for the de-
veloDment of Washington on the 1901

fed with planning here, will become
member emeritus of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits

This was decided today when the

BE it resolved, that the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
takes this first opportunity, at its first
meeting after the expiration of his term
of office, to spread upon its minutes
the regrets of his colleagues at his re-
tirement, their deep appreciation of his
devoted and unselflsh service to the
cause of far-sighted planning in Wash
ington over more than 80 years and
their hope that he will join in the
meetings Of this commission IN the
future as a member emeritus"
The commission directed Charles w.
Eliot, End, director of planning, to as
Semble a review of the commission S
work since its founding by Congress in
1926. Due to current economies, this
work will be along the lines of an

has been made by Mr. Olmstead and

William c. Fowler, District health Of
ficer.
Lieut. Milliken said the Womens
Bureau inquiry is concerned chiefly
with what happens to these girls after
working hours" No arrests have yet
been made, she said, but her officers are
continuing to investigate conditions.
Can't Blame Girls.
I'm several cases" said Miss Milliken,
I'VE have found that parents have per-
mitted girls to advance their ages SO
they can get jobs Naturally, under
such conditions, the managers OF the
barbecue places cannot be held re-
sponsible.
Neither can we blame the girls, nor
the parents. No one else in those fam
lilies is working and as last resort
they permit the young daughters to
take jobs as mattresses and allow them
to set their ages up so they can be
hired"

ASK FOR MERGER
OF CIVIL WORKERS
IN BR|TTEN BILL
Economy Measure Would
Transfer All JobhoIders to
Jurisdiction of One Bureau.
LARGE SAVING CLAIMED
BY ILLINOIS SPONSOR
Three Commissions Would Be
Abolished if Measure Is
Passed by Congress.

Consolidation of all sivil personnel
activities under an executive branch of
the Government, to be known as. the
civil service administration. is pro-
posed as an economy measure by Rep
reSentative Britten, Republican, of Hi
nols, IN a bill introduced today.
This measure provides for transfer
ring to such civil service administration
all duties, Jurisdictions, appropriations
and employees having a Civil Service
status in the Civil Service Commission,
the Employees Compensation Commits
sion, the Personnel Classification Board
and the administration of the civil re-
t1rement laws now vested in the vet
erans' administration The Civil Service
Commission, the Employees Compensa-
ton Commission and the Personnel
Classification Board are to be abolished.
The new Civil Service Administra-
ton shall be dominated by an admin
1strator and board of review consist
ing of three members to be appointed
by the President" said Representative
Britten. There are at present GIG
employees in the four departments af-
fected who are engaged in classifying
civilian personnel. There are three sets
of commissioners or boards with three
sets of secretaries. legal advisers, ex-
aminers and assistant examiners all
doing the same character of work in
four different buildings in different
parts of Washington.
To Seek Action.
Appropriations for these four civil
activities this year will approximate
S7,000,000. large portion of which can
undoubtedly be saved by combination
of the activities under one administra-
ton. These boards and commissions
have been created from time to time by
legislative action and can only be con-
solidated by act of Congress. I shall
press for immediate action by the
House
The so-called economy bill recently
passed by the House authorized the
President to consolidate certain execu-
tive and administrative agencies in the
interest of economy and then incorpo-
rated in the same bill veto power
for Congress to undo the desire of the
President for economies in government" 3"
