M'CARL REJECTS
CIVIL SERVICE PLEA
Commission Wanted to Place
Its Furloughed Employees
in Other Departments.

A proposal by the Civil Service Com
mission that some Of its own employees
be given the administrative furlough
without pay and be allowed to work for
other Government departments or es-
adjustments has been rejected by Con-
troller General McCarl. The commits
sion in requesting McCarl to allow this
practice said, in part:
The commission would call attention
to the fact that by reason Of its rela-
ton to the entire executive branch Of
the Government as personnel agency,
such employment, by other offices would
seem to be in the public interest In that
first-hand knowledge Of the problems
and work confronting the service would
be in the possession OF the commissions
employees when engaged in the perform
ance Of their duties for the commission
proper"
McCarl held that the loaning Of en-
ployes from one department to another,
with certain exceptions, does not re-
lieve the appropriations providing Tor
the salary of the loaned employe, nor
authorize a charge against the appro-
priation of department to which the
employees are loaned.
Economy Act Quoted.
Quoting from the economy act and
provisions Of law which prohibit en-
ployment in two places of a person with
a salary of 81, 500 or more, McCarl con-
cluded that in the absence OF any pro-
vision in the law, expressed or implied,
to the contrary, administrative fur
loughs without pay required under sec
tion 216 of the act of June 80. 1882, to
keep within appropriations made for the
fiscal year 1888 are to be considered the
same as leave Of absence without pay
in applying the well settled principles
heretofore announced in the interpre-
tation of the dual compensation sta
tute."
He also held the commission could
not employ in other departments or
Offices an employe whose annual pay
was less than $2,500, but whose COM
bined compensation from the two offices
would be in excess Of $4,000 a year.
The controller general in another de-
cision affecting retired employees laid
down the principle that the old retire
ment law holds good with respect to
the date Of retirement; in other words
that employees who must be retired, but
whose date of retirement would fall in
the middle Of the month, should be re-
tired effective as of the first OF the sue
ceeding month.
Rules on Veterans Wives.
In answer to Mrs. Ethel H. Tassa,
17O6 Hobart street, the controller gen.
eral held that the two sections Of the
economy act regarding dismissal Of
married persons when both we're in the
Government service and section In
the law which exempted enlisted men
from operation Of the furlough plan
had no relation to each other.
Mrs. TasSa wanted to know whether
the wives Of enlisted men might be in
danger of dismissal, and the decision
apparently holds that the exemption of
husbands from the furlough plan would

Engineer of Utilities Commis-
sion Testifies at Rate
Hearing.
INDEX PRICES RISE
AND FALL is CHARTED
Upward Trend in Labor Expense
Revealed, Due to Decreased
Construction Work.

Cost of reproducing the properties OF
the Chesapeake &, Potomac Telephone
Co. as of December 81, 1881, was s3l,-
S82.104 according to testimony intro
duced today by Thomas R. Tate, engi-
peer of the Public Utilities Commission,
at hearing on reduction of Washing
tons telephone rates.
The figure, according to Mr.. Tate's
testimony was found by taking the
valuation as of December 81, 1924, ap-
plying to the various items index fg-
Gres to bring the cost up to December
81. 1881, and adding the book cost OF
net additions and betterments between
those two dates.
Movement Of Index Prices
The first portion of the hearing today
was devoted to the introduction OF
charts and sets OF figures showing dne
rise and fall of index prices from 1924
to date Most of the charts show their
peak in 1929 with declines since. The
charts used the year 1926 as norm.
each index for that year being 100 per
cent. Most of the charts show a peak
in 1929 and more or less steady de-
creases since There were some excep-
tions. however.
Conduit reached its peak in 1880 and
Is still Is points higher than the 1925
figure Central Office equipment showed
increases in 1880 81 s4. 80 over the
1929 figure Station equipment rose 5
points in 1882 over 1881.
As to central Office equipment. Mr.
Tate testified that this was bought
from the Western Electric Co. and that
the contracts for it were not let to
open bidding, but given exclusively to
the Western Electric He said he knew
of no other industry where the trend
of 1892 prices on equipment was up
Up Trend in Labor Costs.
The index figures also showed an up
ward trend in labor costs recently. Mr.
Tate ascribed this to decreased con-
struction work He said the telephone
company has policy OF retaining its
men without cutting their wages and
that a decrease in construction work
would mean that less casual laborers
were hired for short periods and con-
sequently the higher wages paid to
their permanent employees would show
up more in the composite wage figures.
The hearing, resumed today after a
two-week recess, was called for the pur-
pose OF securing a reduction in tele-
phone rates prior to a revaluation OF
the property. 1t will be continued this
afternoon.

The question Of dismissal also bob
bed up in decision to the United States
Court of Customs and Patent Appeals
where Judge. William J. Graham said
it was necessary to dismiss two messen-
gers whose wives were both employed
in the janitor service by the ONCE of
Public Buildings and Public Parks. Nc
Carl held that if 1t is necessary to re-
duce the number Of messengers In q
particular branch Of the service sec
ton 2l3 requires that the messengers
whose wives are at that time en-
ployed in the service of the United
States or the District be discharged
before messengers who do not have
wives so employed. However, he called
attention to the administrative furlough,
which would allow furloughing instead
of dischargiag, but this, he said. would
not constitute reduction In personnel.

JUNCE PITCHES GREAT CAME AS
 ELKS WIN, 11-1
Elks Get Breaks and Er- TOTS Aid Them to, Ad-
 minister Defeat

Ken Junge hurled the Elks to victory last night for the second time in three days, holding the American Legion to four hits and a lone run while his teammates pounded out III rouns off Pete Schmitz in four and two-thirds innings. Pete had lots of help in losing the game, only two of the Il being of the earned var iety.
 Bill Schmitz, who relieved Pete in the fifth, held the Elks hitless and scoreless for the rest of the game but it was too late to repair the damage done the way Junge was pitching. He had plenty of stuff on the ball and his control was excellent when he, needed it. Andrews and Orme hit for the circuit, although Andy's was a freak homer.
 Brought First Score
 It was this hit in the second inning, that brought in the first Elks' score, and was turned from a single into four-base blow by one of the breaks that favored the Bills. Andy hit hard line drive to right which Worth went after hard. The Vet outfielder missed the ball and crashed into the bleacher bench along the wall. He was knocked out for a few minutes and Andy rambled home while Baker raced from second base to retrieve the ball. Worth was able to resume play in shor.s time.
 The Bills added three more in the fourth an an error, a walk and two hits Big Mac opened the frame with single to left, his second safety in succession. He went to second when Andrews drew a pass. He and Andrews scored and Junge also came home when Ken's single through second got through Maesen in centerfield. Macs run was earned as he could have scored on the hit from sec- ond. The next two batters were easy outs.
 Vets Score in Fourth
 The Vets scored their solitary tally in the last of the fourth. Garn socked one of Ken's slow balls on the nose for threde bases. Abby could have made it a homer but he loafed until he rounded first base. He scored anyway on Worths two-bagger to left. It was a screecfling drive that hit near the walk and bounded over the fence. These were the first hits off Junge. Bill Schmitz got a single in the fifth and Worth a single in the sixth, which made up the Legions four safeties for the day.

four hits and three errors and some sketchy baseball Brodie's slow hopper through the box which was just out of Peteas reach went for a single. Baker made a fine stop and throw of the ball but Brodie beat it by a flash Coughlin lifted a nasty little fly back of third which Grummett ought to have gone back on and didn't. It fell safe for single, putting Brodie on second.
 Errors Creep In
 Manning dribbled slow one past the box that Pete failed to cover and it filled the bags. Big Mac hopped one at Grummett. The ball took a bad hop, carromcd off Stan's glove. into short left field and Brodie and Coughlin scored. McCloskey hit to Pete who held the ball too long for a double killing for which the stage was set. Pete finally threw to third and retired Manning for the first out. Andrews popped out to Hermsen at first. Junge singled to score MacSapadden and sent McCloskey to third. Ken taking second on the play.
 Garl juggled Rollers grounder briefly then skied the ball to the rlghtfield wall back of first, Mo- Closkey and Junge scoring while Roller went to second. Pete lobbed one over to Orme and Bus parked 1t on top of Grant Baldwin's house. for the circuit, scoring Eddie ahead Of him. That was curtains for the lanky Vet twirler. Bill Schmitz switched in from left and was never in danger for the rest of the game.
