LONGEVITY CREDIT
REDUCTION SOUGHT
u. S. Personnel Officers See
Injury to Efficiency in
Present Rate.
A move has been started to reduce the

A move has been started to reduce the
so-cailed longevity allowance" by
which Federal workers receive credits
for length of employment which are
taken into consideration when they are
to be removed from service.
Letters yesterday went forward to the
Civil Service Commission and the Bu-
reau of the Budget from the Personnel
Officers Association. composed of per-
sonnel officers In the executive agen-
cies of the Government, proposing modi-
f1cation of these credits, which range
from one-tenth of l per cent for the
first years service to the maximum of
Is points for those in employ 80 years
or more.
No Specified Reduction.
No specified reduction was recon-
mended, it being said only that the
officers feel that the scale is too high,
and minimiZes the element of efficiency.
This longevity allowance was granted
under an executive order by President
Coolidge on June f. 1925, and conse-
quently, any changes desired could be
effected through the medium of another
executive order
The allowance, it is pointed out, tends
to keep the older workers at the top
of a separation list; separations are
made from the bottom of the list.
Illustrative of the way this factor
operates was given in the case of an
employe of nine years service, with an
efficiency rating of 95, who would have
AS points added for longevity, for a
total separation rating of 99.5, but
would be dismissed ahead of an en-
ploye with an efficiency of rs, who had
80 years service, with it's accompany
ing credit of 25 years, for a total of
100 points.
Other Allowances.
In addition to the longevity allow
ance, there are credits allowed also
for war service, and where the element
Of dependency enters, while restrictions
are to be imposed now under the ap-
portionment law, as well as the marital
status provision of the economy act.
Because Of these factors, non-related
to efficiency, the opinion has been ex-
pressed that in view of prospective dis
missals, some authority will have to
determine in just what order they are
to be considered in reduction of force.

L|A|SON OFFICER
PROPOSAL LOST
Sirovich Amednment, to Re.
covery Bill Knocked Out
in Conference.

Representative Sirovich, Democrat,
of New York, who single handed sue
ceeded in having the Senate include in
the administrations national industrial
recovery bill an amendment providing
for the appointment of Federal
liaison officer, saw his efforts go for
naught last night when the rider was
knocked out in conference.
The Sirovich amendment, which was
designed primarily to aid the Federal
employe who get into controversy with
his chief, would have created a one
man court for the adjustment of all
disputes. 1t also would have created
a board of appeals to which either the
chief or the employe might carry his
grievance for final adjudication.
Under the provisions of the amend
ment, the liaison officer would have
been an independent employe in the
Government service, empowered to hear,
investigate and adjust all differences
between employees and their superiors.
Sirovich had the amendment tackled
onto the industrial recovery bill in the
Senate when he learned that his plan
had no chance of receiving House ap-
proval in an independent bill before
adjournment of Congress. He appeared
detected last night when told the con-
ferees had refused to approve the
amendment

The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association has subscribed generously
to stock in the proposed Hamilton Ma
tional Bank merger, it was learned last
night. The action was taken at re-
cent board meeting, Ford E. Young,
vice president, said.
The subscription by the trade body
was welcomed by leaders in the bank
merger movement, not only as an in
crease in the sale of stock, but also as
an important approval of the bank
merger itself
Business and trade in the District
would benefit largely from release of
the more than $10,000,000 in deposits
which would be made available when
the Hamilton National Bank opens its
doors, it was pointed out, and thus
merchants of the city have a vital in
terest in opening of the new institu-
ton.
Graham Calls Meeting.
Not until the stock sale is lover the
top" however can the charter be OBJ
tanned, and final steps taken to open
the bank. The last reports generally
show that more than a million dollars
worth of stock has been sold, but the
total of 81 ,250,000 must be disposed of
before the charter can be obtained.
Edwin c. Graham, president of the
proposed merger, has called a meeting
of his organization committee tomor-
row afternoon at headquarters at the

PRESIDENT TO GET
DEPOS|TORS' PLAN
National Group Will Present
Program Adopted for
Reopening.

Backed by action of a meeting of de.
positors from several States at the
Mayfower Hotel yesterday, a delega.
ton from the National Depositors' Com.
mittee plans to present soon to Presi-
dent Roosevelt new program to re-
open restricted banks throughout the
country.
A. Mitchell Palmer, former Attorney
General and Frank H. Schrenk oi
Philadelphia will head the group
Palmer was elected counsel-general and
Schrenk president of a new permanent
organization authorized by the meet
ing to fight for the program adopted.
Headquarters will be here.
The new program as outlined in a
resolution CT IL points, sharply criti-
cizes present practices of the Govern
ment, especially the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, and charges that
large banking interests in New York
are willing to sacrifice the interests of
the suffering depositors to their own
ambition to control the banking system
of the United States.
Many Speakers Heard.
The gathering, which convened in
both morning and afternoon sessions,
neard many speakers tell of suffering
depoSitors, and assail the system which
it was charged, still has failed to re-
open 5000 closed or restricted banks.
with 100000 depositors.
Except for Palmer, now a practicine
attorney here, no one from the District
participated in the public discussion
Several persons interested in banks here
attended as observers.
The program outlined recommends a
series of proposals to liberalize the
practices of both the Reconstruction
Corporation and the Federal Reserve
Board in dealing with closed banks. It
further provides that in case banks
cannot be reopened under the plan pro-
posed, the Federal Government should
pay so per cent to depositors and take
over the banks for liquidation.
Release of Assets.
Other proposals are that the r. F.
c. should release prime and unques-
toned assets now held by them and
exchange them for SLOW or frozen
assets of closed and restricted banks.
in order that the bank could be re-
opened. Loans would be made on these
slow or frozen assets based on values
of 1926, and up to 80 per cent of such
values. Federal Reserve banks would
accept rediscountable paper of Gus
toners of closed and restricted banks
at par. Income on collateral of closed
and restricted banks should be paid
to the banks. Local committee of the
r. F. c. would be reorganized to in
clude representatives of restricted and
closed banks.
Among the speakers who told of
suffering among depositors of closed
and restricted banks were Representa-
tive Dirksen of Illinois, Rev. DR..
Ernest A. Steigler of Bethlehem, Pa;
Mayor Eddie McCloskey of Johnstown,
Pa; S. Davis Wilson, controller of
Philadelphia, and others.
In addition to the general program,
the convention authorized the chair
man to appoint Central Organization
Committee. and a similar committee for
each of the IL Federal Reserve districts
not already organized.

EFFORT TO REOPEN
BIDDING FOR POST
EXPECTED IN COURT
Attorney Acting for Unre-
veaIed Purchaser Announces
He Will Fight Proposal.
RATIFICATION OF SALE
SCHEDULED TOMORROW
Receiver Expresses Opinion $685.
900 Was Fair Price for
Newspaper.

Although the public sale of the The
Washington Post comes up in District
Supreme Court tomorrow for final rat
ification, it was understood efforts will
be made to reopen the bidding for the
paper
The Post was sold at auction for
$825,000 last week by order of the
court. The paper was knocked down
to George E. Hamilton, jr., Washing
ton attorney acting for an urdisclosed
principal.
Mr.. Hamilton has refused to divulge
the identity of the real purchaser of
the paper, but said yesterday he eX-
pects to do so Immediately after the
court ratifies the sale. He also indi-
Gated he will oppose any attempt to
set aside the sale to him and reopen
the bidding.
Would Offer 100000 More.
According to reports at the court
house yesterday, new bidders, whose
identities are unknown. were prepared
to offer at least 100000 more than the
bid submitted by Mr.. Hamilton. 1t was
pointed out, however that the public
sale last week was widely advertised
and that under the courts decree all
prospective bidders were required to
qualify in advance of the date of sale
by depositing $4,000 with the Posts
receiver Benjamin S. Minor.
Despite the fact that the sale has not
been finally approved, there was con-
siderable doubt whether the court, un-
der these circumstances, would con-
slider any new bids at this time.
Those favoring reopening of the bid
ding pointed out that better price for
the Post would benefit the estate of
John r. Mclean, which owns the pa
per, and indications were they would
stress this point at tomorrow's hearing.
Minor Approves Sale.
In reporting the sale to the court Mr..
Minor expressed the opinion that $685.
600, in view of existing conditions, rep
resented fair, if not good price, for
the paper. He recommended that the
sale be approved.
Mr. Minor was appointed as receiver
for the Post after the International
creditors, had filed a petition with the
court asking for this relief.
Although at least a dozen persons
have been identified by conflicting
rumors as the real purchaser of the
Post, Mr.. Hamilton has refused to con-
firm or deny any Of these reports.
When the paper was bid in by Mr..
Hamilton it was said the name of the
purchaser would be made public with
in two or three days" This time limit
was later extended to a week or 10
days. In view of Mr. Hamilton's state
ment yesterday, however, it was expect
ed the identity of the buyer would be
disclosed on Monday or Tuesday.
