ed by a corps Of 80 State police,
George Armwood, colored, alleged
attacker Of a 71-year-old Eastern
Shore white woman, today had

CONGRESS GETS
RIGHT To SCAN
JOB ROLL
Startling Arrangement Gives
'HiII' Chance to Put Pressure
On Appointing Officials
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

Establishment Of an arrange
n1ent whereby members Of Con-
greSS are permitted access to the
eligibility lists Of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission, for the first time
in the history of that organiza-
ton, became known today.
Many attacks have been made
on the merit system in recent
months, but this procedure, which
has been in effect for two months
or more, is considered by friends
Of the civil service as the most
serious threat to civil service
principles yet to appear.
Lists Have Been Secret
Heretofore, in line with the
maintenance Of complete nonpar-
tisapship in the commission, such
lists have been available only to
appointing officers in the Federal
service.
Friends of the civil service to
whom the Times communicated
its findings were of the opinion
that the present members of the
commission, both recent ap-
pointees, did not realize the
threat to the merit system con-
tanned in such plan. Both
Harry B. Mitchell, president Of
the commission, and Mrs. Lucille
B. Mcmillan, the other member,
have placed themselves squarely
on record in favor of the merit
system. The third place on the
commission is vacant.
However, members Of Congress,
II in possession of such lists,
would undoubtedly be able to eX-
ercise influence either to bring
about the appointment Of con-
stituents or to prevent appoint
mentS of those to whom they
might have objections.
Recent attacks on the merit
system have been numerous. Ex-
tremely serious, also, is the pres
ent status of employees affected
by mergers Of Federal bureaus,
who are placed in a temporary
status which deprives them of
leave and other normal civil
service privileges, and also makes
possible dismissal and reappoint-
ment without regard to civil
service regulations.
Many in Bad Position
Thousands of employees have
been placed in this precarious
position-3,000 or more in the
public parks office, and large
numbers in other bureaus.
Federal employees have charged
that political figures largely in
the reappointment of many of
those thus put in temporary
status.
Representatives Of veterans
groups and the Federal Employ
ment Service, are comforting this
week on the status of veterans
dismissed from government jobs,

UTILITY FIGHTS
VALUATION
ORDER
Annapolis Court Of Appeals to
Rule on Potomac Edison Case
Involving Moot Question

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 18.-Ar-
guments regarding the right Of a
public utility to appeal from q
tentative valuation order Of the
Public Service Commission and
from a final valuation order were
heard by the Court Of Appeals
yesterday.
The case grew out Of litigation
regarding the Potomac Edison
Company valuation fight.
In the case involving the ques-
ton of the right to appeal a ten
tative valuation, the lower court
had denied the company's petition
for an order dismiSSing their own
bill of complaint. The bill sought
an order setting aside the COM
missions tentative valuation Of
the company's properties.
Counsel for the appellant COM
panies contended that the final
valuation order superseded the
tentative valuation order and that
the sufficiency Of the bill Of COM
plant attacking the tentative
valuation was moot question.
It was contended that a moot
question should not be decided
and a bill of complaint giving
rise to the question be dismissed.
Commission attorneys argued
that the demurrer of the commits
sion was properly sustained by the
lower court because nowhere in
the Public Service Commission
law is there any language author
izing an appeal to the courts
from either a tentative or a final
valuation of property by the COM
mission"

NRA INQUIRY

Whether consumers have been

everyday commodities" will be
the subject of a survey to be

Facts will be gathered by

of members from the District of

Associations and similar organ

Serum for protection against
diphtheria Of children in Prince
Georges county is now available
among doctors throughout the
county, announces DR.. A. B.
Hooton, county health officer,
who is completing school cam
paign against diphtheria.
The drive against the malady
has been so successful that the
upper portion Of the county is
remarkably free from it, and only
one outbreak has demanded ex-
treme precautionary measures, he
said. In this instance, at the Old
Mill School on the Landover
Road, the teacher and one pupil
were found suffering from the
disease. Twenty-three of the chill
dren in the school were vacci-
mated, while two refused the
serum.
The new serum, an alum pre-
cipitating toxoid, gives a perma-
nent protection to more than 95
per cent Of those taking it, he
said. DR.. Hooton added:
"If parents would heed this
advice, diphtheria would be
wiped out of existence by the
new tOxOid. There are a few
instances in which children are
immune to it's action, but every
child from 6 months to a year
old should be vaccinated against
diphtheria by the family ply
Sician."
There have been only nine cases

The Treasury announced yesterday
that out of a total of S13,000,000, checks
for s10,000000 had been mailed to the
90-odd railroads which paid the money
into the earnings recapture fund.
The fund was established under the
law which required that railroads set
aside all earnings above per cent on
a fair valuation of their property and
devote so per cent to their own funds
for improvement and turn over SO per
cent to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission which was to be used to help
weaker roads.
The fund deposited with the COM
mission was never used, but remaln
in the Treasury because OF legal oiffi-
culties.
