Selection Of Two Com

President Roosevelt conferred with
Postmaster General Farley at the White
House last night regarding the appoint
hnent of successors to Commissioners
Reichelderfer and Crosby. The Presi-
dent said progress was made but could
not say just when the selections would
be made.
Some weeks ago the Postmaster Gen.
eral, after a study OF the more than
half a hundred candidates and aspir-
ants, left with the President so-called
sreferred list of names, selected by him
Hom the number of those he had re-
Seived, seeking these two appointments.
While Mr.. Farley's list was not MADE
public at the time, it is understood
from reliable quarters that among the
names on the preferred list were those
of Ernest G. Walker, newspaper corre-
spondent and business man, who was
treasurer of the local Democratic cam
paign during the last election; Melvin
Hazen. for many years surveyor OF the
District; Malcolm McConihe, for more
than 20 wears in the real estate business
in this city, and Joseph Cotter, attorney
and formerly an official OF the Interior

Ralph Z. Holmes, all colored. convicted
Of numbering Park Policeman Milo ].
Kennedy at Logan Circle, and whose
death sentences were affirmed by the
District Court Of Appeals June rs last,
asked the Supreme Court today to grant
them q review.
They asserted the prosecutor was al
lowed to argue inferences of guilt be-
cause they had not called as witnesses
any of the crowd present at the time
the officer was killed. They also claimed
the confession of Leroy Robinson, who
afterward was acquitted, had been ad
mitted wrongfully and asserted the
trial Judge had been misled by the
Government prosecutor into admitting
irrelevant testimony on the prosecutors S
promise to warrant its admission by
connecting it up with other testimony.
This he failed to do, they stated, add
ing that, while the trial judge struck
it out, he neglected to give instructions
to the jury to disregard it. The trial
court, they asserted, gave erroneous ana
incomplete instructions upon their right
to resist illegal arrest.
The petition for review stated that
Oficer Kennedy attempted to arrest
Jackson for throwing stones or water
melon rind; that jackson resisted, broke
away and ran. Murray, it stated. was
charged with interfering with the ar
rest and with having struck the officer
and that another man, whose identity
It claims Is In doubt was charged also
with striking the officer.
The Government asserted there was
q conspiracy among members Of a
gang" of which the convicted men
were members, to get" the officer.
Nine men were indicted, three becom-
ing fugitives. OF the six arrested and
placed on trial, three were released by
order Of the court, the remaining three
being convicted of murder in the first
degree, with the death penalty imposed.

Is WHO PROTESTED
WAGE SCALE FIRED
Workers on District School
Let Out Day Following
Public Hearing.

The IS men who testified last week
at public hearing that the Catalano
Construction Co. paid them less than
prevailing scales of wages for their
work on District school building were
discharged the next day, it was learned
today.
Some Of the men have complained to
Assistant Corporation Counsel Robert E.
Lynch, who conducted the investiga-
tion into their original complaints. and
are seeking to get back the difference
between what they were paid and what
the scales called for.
They told Lynch that they were all
dismissed last Wednesday (the hearing
was last Tuesday,, being paid of for
their work for that week at the pre-
vailing rates. When they asked about
their back money, they said, they were
told they would get it If the Commis-
sioners said so.
Law Declared Violated.
The Commissioners now have before
them an opinion by Corporation Coun-
sci w. W. Bride holding that the cor
poration plainly violated the Bacon
Davis wage law by paying less than
prevailing rates, and informing them OF
their power to cancel the building con-
tract for this reason.
The Bride opinion pointed out that
similar complaints have been made
against contractors on District jobs
many times previously, and that the
Commissioners have never gone beyond
making the contractor pay the correct
rates. which was what he agreed to do
TN the first place, and therefore no
penalty at all.
Want Money Withheld.
While the dismissed workers want the
Commissioners to hold back money due
on the contract with which to settle
their wage claims against the contractor,
Controller General McCarl recently
ruled in a similar case that the Gov
ernnent contracting officer is powerless
to take such action, as the dispute Is q
private one between the contractor and
the workers. The point is not known
to have been settled definitely IN any
court.
