Physical difficulties of such an under
taking have been virtually overcome,

'UNBLANKET' ORDER
BabCoCk Writes President
Against Uncertainties of
Patronage System.

Rumors that political pressure was
being brought to bear to "unblanket"
l,600 employees of the Veterans Admin
istration who were brought under civil
service by executive order two years and
a half ago, in conformity with legisla-
ton consolidating certain veterans ac-
tivities, yesterday drew a written pro-
test to President Roosevelt against any
action of this sort.
The issue was raised by E. Claude
Babcock, president of the American
Federation of Government Employees
Locally. about 100 attorneys would be
affected. Other workers are in the
field.
The legislation which was followed
by the blanketing order consolidated
Veterans Bureau. Pension Office and
national homes for soldiers. The order
itself has been under fire from DEM
ocratic sources on several occasions.
Babcock told the President he wished
to positively record the sincere feel
ings of the united employees of the
country against any effort in the di-
rection of placing more Government
employees under the rigors and subject
to the uncertainties of the patronage
system"
Babcock also wrote yesterday to
Chairman Woodrum of the House sub
committee handling the independent
offices bill, protesting continuation
of the same charge the Government
now imposes for quarters, subsistence
and laundry against employees on some
stations.
Babcock pointed out that. while the
pay cut was based on declining cost
of living. the Government has refused
to recognize this same downward trend
fixing its own charges The result is
that some $4,000 employees actually are
suffering a % per cent instead Of an
18 per cent reduction. Approximately
LOO nurses and attendants in local in
stitutions are among those affected.
