Raymond Clark, of Takoma
Park, Md, was cleared of dis
orderly conduct charges in Police

OPPOSED
TOSAVEFUND

Federal employees have cast a
practically unanimous vote against
the idea of borrowing from the
Federal retirement fund.
Members of Local No. 2 were
asked to register their views on
this question, as a means of put
ting the organization on record
in preparation for the coming
convention of the National Fedora
ton of Federal Employees in Kan
saS City.
The feeling was general that If
the principle were accepted that
employees might borrow from the
funds, they would so seriously de-
plete it that it might become in
adequate. Prevention of borrow
ing was considered the most et-
fective safeguard practicable.

BEERPROBLEM

The responsibility of determin'
ing whether Federal employees will
be able to wash down lunches
served in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
cafeterias with beer will be thrown
upon the shoulders of Cabinet
members whose departments have
eating facilities.
This was revealed today by
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, director
of Public Buildings and Parks, fol-
lowing meeting yesterday Of the
Welfare and Recreational Associa-
ton which has charge of main
tanning Government-operated res
taurants.
In the event more than two de.
partment heads approve sale OF
beer to Government clerks the
situation will become further COM
plicated, Colonel Grant revealed,
since the welfare association has
already received three of the five
beer permits to which it is en-
titled. That means only two
cafeterias may obtain permits un'
der present District regulations.

FEDERAL JOBS
|NWASH|NGTON
INCREASING
Records Show 500 More Work.
ing Here on February 20
Than at End of Year 1882

Effects of the new policies Of
dismisSals in the Government SER
vice have not appeared, but for
the first three months Of the
present calendar year the num-
Der of Federal employees in Wash
ington showed a tendency to in
crease.
There were 66,3o2 Government
workers on the rolls as Of De
cember 81, 1882, and 66,802 on
February %, 1888, an increase OF
500. The principal increases had
been in the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation and the Crop
Production Loan Office, both
emergency organizations.
Some Out, Some In
In other words, the tendency
has been to dismiss employees in
the classified service and from
the older departments and other
units, and to build up new emery
ency groups.
This tendency will probably
continue, but whether the emer-
gency units will be built up with
sufficient rapidity to absorb those
employees who will be dismissed
from the classified service in the
next few months is doubtful.
There will probably be a sharp
recession when the number of en-
ployes on the rolls at the end
of this and later months is made
public.
Field Is Losing
Eventually, it is probable that
emergency units will expand to
the point where the Federal
establishment will have more en-
ployes than ever. At present,
however, the number Of workers
in the field service is declining
somewhat, the number having
been 563,487 as of February %,
against 564,103 on December 81
for the field service and Wash
ington combined.

Muddy Track Likely

like five field" horses probably
will go to the post.
This, by the same token. calls
considerable attention to Inlan-
der, which with the field" and
the stable entries of Bradley, Coe
and the Catawba Stable, occu-
pies practically an isolated posi-
ton in the odds. The horse was
quoted as high as 100 to l around
town last night and, in the mud
or out, they say he's quite a
bet. He must be at that price.
Mr.. Khayyam Well Placed
But, somehow, Ladysman, the
2-year-old champion. continues to
hold the eye and catch the at
tention. They say his legs are
bad. They say he can't run in
the mud. They even admit the
possibility that the Downs this
afternoon can't be entirely dry.
Yet they are betting Ladysman
as though his ticket was a Treas
ury certificate.
To do this not only is to over
look Head Play, also Sarada, a
good horse: Charley O., another;
and Mr.. Khayyam, son of a Derby
winner which broke track rec
ord in Maryland last Saturday.
Mr.. Khayyam, which doesn't
like trouble at the post, is well
placed for on the outside, where
he may break quickly and pinch
off" the field.
Anyhow, all agree on one point:
that it is the most open Derby
of recent years, Ladysman or no
Ladysman. 1t is even so open
that none of the scheduled jock
eys has ever ridden a Derby win
ner.
So it's a fair race, a fast pace,
and woe betide the hindmoSt!

D, {. BEER. LAW
"TOOSTR|CT''

Liberalization of the District
beer law to eliminate its "inequi-
ties, weaknesses and injustices"
was urged today by Representa-.
tive Everett M. Dirksen Cd Of
Illinois, Of the House District
Committee.
Assailing numerous points in
the law as too stringent, he de-
clared it to be full Of loop-holes
that should be eliminated before
the end of this session Of Con
gress. a.,
He advocated loosening the
bounds of the ION sale" licenses
to permit drinking Of beer both
on and off the premises. In view
Of the fact that the ION sale"
licenses cost 500, twice as much
as the "off SALE" these licensees
should be given double privileges
He also urged liberalization OF
the clause which permits only res.
taurants, hotels and clubs to sell
beer for consumption on the
premises,

MERIT VS.. JOBS
BATTLE SEEN
IMMINENT
Efficiency Ratings Of Little
Value Now If Apportionment
Is to Rule DiSmiSSaIS

Continued attacks on the Civil
Service merit system, appearing
IN legislative provisions at this
session, have brought efficiency
ratings to the point where, &C.
cording to one expert on the
classified service, they might as
well be thrown out of the window
The attitude Of this Congress
toward the Civil Service in gen.
eral has been that Of tearing
down safeguards laboriously
erected over a period Of many
years. Certain well-defined pol
acies stand out.
First, severe inroads are being
made on the classified depart
mental service through dismissalS,
and these will continue, even
though long furloughs may pro-
vide some sort of palliative.
Jobs Open To All
Second, there has been, without
undue publicity, a continuous
building UP of such organizations
as the Crop Production Loan
Board and the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation, where jobs are
outside the Civil Service. .
Third, there have been repeated
attempts, despite the vigilance OF
Federal employees organizations,
to break down grades and stand
ards within the service, by assign
ing lower-paid employees to new
jobs normally carrying more pay,
Ut no increase in compensation.
: The IS per cent cuts, admins
trative furloughs, and general I'M
certainty in the Federal service
have shaken morale, and in the
Independent Offices bill came a
whole sheaf of proposals consld-
cred by Government workers de-
cidedly to their detriment.
Many COOKERS" Found
One of these introduced appor-
tionment as a means of making
staff reductions or arranging long
furloughs. This would mean that
employees from the District, Mary
land and Virginia, who largely
exceed the quotas Of those politi-
cal subdivisions, would be first on
the list to go.

CURB ON COURT
PLEAS SOUGHT

Pleas of abatement in United
States criminal cases will be
curbed if a bill introduced in the
House by Representative Hatton
w. Summers, Democratic chair
man of the House Judiciary Com
mittee is enacted into law.
The measure has been referred
to the sponsors own committee
and speedy action by that body
is expected.
The District of Columbia SUI
preme Court and all Federal dis
trict courts are affected by the
bill. It provides that mo indict-
ment found and presented by a
grand jury, in any district or
other court of the United States
shall be deemed insufficient, nor
shall the trial, judgment, or other
proceedings thereon be affected
by reason of any defect or imper-
lection in matter of form only,
which shall not tend to the preju-
dice of the defendant"
The bill also makes it impossi-
BILE to nullify an indictment be-
cause clerks or StenographerS
employed in clerical capacity to
assist the district attorney or
other counsel of the Government
were present in the grand jury
room during the taking of testi-
mony leading to the indictment.
Both conditions which the
Summers bill seeks to correct have
often been cited in local criminal
cases.

RATINGS COUNT
LITTLE NOW IN
j. {. SERVICE
Veterans Preferences, Rule
Against Married Persons
And Other Items Enter

Efficiency ratings, which will be
made up as Of May Is, will have
less weight than ever if the prin-
ciple of apportionment, enunci-
ated in the Independent Office
Bill, is adopted throughout the
service in arranging Ior dismissals
and long furloughs.
Already veterans have prefer
ence for retention over non-veter-
ans, regardless of ratings, and
married persons are first on the
list to go, however efficient they
may be, if both husband and wife
are in the Federal service. Ordi-
narily either husband or wife may
be retained, at their option, if two
units are reducing staffs. OF
course, both husband and wife
would not be dismissed, except un-
der unusual circumstances.
Many Factors Involved
Both these preferences are in
effect throughout the service, both
in the field and in Washington.
In the departmental service here
other factors are also involved,
such as longevity pay and credits
for dependency, in addition to ef-
ficiency ratings. Now it is pro.
posed to introduce the apportion-
ment system as well.
How little efficiency ratings
mean at the present time is illus
trated by the experience of one
unit of 16 persons, where dismissals
were in order. Due to one form
of preference or another, the per-
son fifth on the list in point of
efficiency was released, while the
fifteenth was retained. The per-
son actually first on the list in
point of efficiency rated second
because of these preferences.
Older Men Favored
The older employees are especi-
ally favored, for they may add
as much as Is points to their eff
cheney ratings for longevity Of SER
vice. Thus an employe whose eff.
ficiency rating was so could out
rank one whose rating was "a, if
only the former had been 80 years
in service. Three additional
credits may be obtained for de-
pendents, in which case the for
mer employe would outrank one
who had a rating of 81.

Upholstery Workers Strike.

LOS ANGELES, June IA CP).-About
700 upholstery workers declared a strike
yesterday, demanding restoration of
original wages, cut during the last year
Fearing violence, police patrols were
established at three factories.
Employers declared the strike was
called to organize the industry and not
TO obtain increased wages.
