CAPITOL BREW
NEXT WEEK

Sale of 80 per cent beverages
in the House restaurants was
postponed today and in all prob
ability will not become a reality
until the middle of next week.
This delay was occasioned by
the fact that the House accounts
committee had not acted on a
report of its subcommittee which
earlier in the week reported that
licenses were not necessary be-
cause the restaurants are operated
by the Government.
Frank Verdi, manager Of the
restaurants, said he hoped to
have all varieties of the best
breWs made in the United States
on hand when sale begins.
Despite the accounts subcom-
mittee's report Speaker Henry
T. Rainey said the beverages
would not be sold in the Demo
cratic and Republican cloak
rooms. He explained that the
cloak room concession is held
by individuals and is not operated
by Congress. Rainey, as comp
troller of the House cloak room
concessions, would have to apply
for the licenses and stated he has
no intention of doing so,

GUT
7 D BE BASED
ON RATINGS
Efficiency, Length Of Service
And Number of Dependents
To Be Factors

Efficiency ratings, length Of
service and number Of dependents
will be items taken into account
in the forthcoming dismissal Of
Federal employees to conform to
the new budget cuts, it was
learned today.
The number Of Government
workers who will be dismissed is
still problematical, but early esti-
mates of $4,000 in Washington
and 100000 all told may be re-
duced. The Navy Department ap-
parently feels that a 10 per cent
cut will be sufficient, so far as
it's own appropriations are con-
cerned, but other Federal or
ganizations will have to make
more drastic reductions.
Married To Go First
In any event, the married
women's clause Of the economy
act will be first invoked wherever
dismissals are to be made. That
legal requirement applies gener-
ally throughout the service.
Employees under the classified
civil service in washington will
be subjected to that test first.
Then will come the question Of
efficiency ratings, as Of May Is.
Personnel officers met recently
to devise a more efficient rating
system, in preparation for just
this situation.
To efficiency ratings, credits
for length of service are ap-
plicable. One-tenth of a point a
year is added for the first 10
years, and one point a year for
each year thereafter, with a
maximum of Is points.
Finally, departmental officers
may add three points or less to
the total, as credits for de-
pendents. The Navy Depart
ment already is taking steps to
determine how many dependents
its employees are supporting.
Low Ratings to Count
Thereafter, employees would be
released who had the lowest ef-
ficiency ratings for their grade
and class.
In the field service outside
the classified lists, administra-
tive officers have fewer restric-
tions, but the married woman's
clause is of general application,
and so too is the veterans pref
erence, where veterans have an
efficiency rating as good as that
of competitors.
A negative regulation provides
that political and religious con-
siderations shall not apply in the
dismissing of employees. That is
a part Of the civil service act.
The chief problems that will
arise. probably, will be concerned
with employees who are competi-
tors in the same grade and class.
Another problem yet to be def
nitely settled is what will hap
pen to employees if an entire bu-
reau or division is legislated out
OF existence. In the case of the
Bureau Of Efficiency. if that is
to be precedent, no provision
whatever was made for the
personnel, though the employees
were recognized as of exception
ally high grade.

BLuecOat Fails
To Recognize
Daniel Garges

Daniel E. Garges, secretary to
the Board of District Commits
sioners, has learned that he is not
so well known to the members of
the police department as might
be imagined.
Mr.. Garges started into the
room where the beverage permit
board was in session and was ac-
costed by Fourth Precinct Police
man L. A. Howard, On duty at
the door. Howard said:
'Wait a minute. Where do
you think you are gOing?"
TN there where the board is

Howard demanded:
"And who are yOu?"
81 am Mr.. GargeS."
. The policeman laughed.
81 have heard a lot of excuses
in the last couple of days, but
that's the best one yet. Run
along, now"
Finally a member of the board
appeared and convinced the po-
liceman of GargeS identity.
