CHAPTER TX
The Stone Wall

1t was a disgruntled and decidedly
perplexed detective who returned to
headquarters at four O'Clock Friday
afternoon, three days after the MUIR
der. In turn, two suspects-Ned Pat
terson and Ralph Buckley-had cleared
themselves; the evidence he had 80
painstakingly collected had disinte-
grated before explanations that
changed their value The only i'm
portant case remaining was that in
eliminating the lawyer. And against
him, Rankin was not yet prepared to
move. Though a civil lawyer, Mr..
Fletcher was acquainted with the sub
tleties of criminal law and no mean
opponent; it was no trifiing matter to
charge him with murder until his facts
were altogether impregnable. First he
wanted to ferret out and marshal
every possible proof of his guilt. He
dared leave no loophole through which
the attorney might escape because Of
his position or superior knowledge Of
legal technicalities.

that he was trailing a red herring.
Then, unless Jordan's guardian was
the culprit. he would face stone wall.
So far. he had unearthed only a mo-
tive to implicate Mr.. Merrick-the es-
tate his nephew would inherit at twen-
ty-two, if he did not forfeit it by i'm
proper conduct. But even suppOsing
that In some mysterious manner, the
uncle could have got into the initia-
ton chamber, he had no opportunity
to commit the crime if he actually
came east from Vandalia on Wednes-
day morning. Nevertheless, as the
sole remaining suspect, his alibi de-
manded attention which thus far ID
the press of events it had not re-
ceived. This was task for Gilmore,
the detective decided, until he coulo
handle it himself.
The most serious weakness in MS
theory of Mr.. Fletcher's guilt, he real
lied with fresh dismay, was the extra
person at the initiation. 1t was GER

brothers already identified had at

SESSION
:. LEFT MANY
PROBLEMS
Fate of Independent Offices
Bill Now Up to Legislators
of 73d Assembly

Conditions have changed so
rapidly since the adjournment Of
the seventy-second Congress that
Federal employees have hardly been
able to check up on their pros
poets as q result Of what hap
pened during that session and
what Is now in view.
The outstanding achievement Of
the old Congress. from the point
Of view Of the Federal employees,
was the defeat Of the Bratton
proposal for an additional per
cent slice, which would have
meant wholesale dismissals in
many Government units. The
Treasury.Postoffice bill, which car
carried appropriations for the
Federal service, was far from sat-
isfactory, but it was feared that
If it failed something worse might
take its place at the coming ses-
sion, which will at best be hur-
ried, hectic and harried.
Same Cut Stands
AS it is, the 8 1-3 per cent fur
Tough plan stands, as it was de-
vised last year. without any fur
ther impositions Of wage-cuts.
The Hoover pocket veto Of the
Independent offices bill left many
Federal employees, particularly
those Of the Federal Trade Com
mission and the Civil Service
Commission, pretty much up in
the air. The Federal Trade Com
mission was the real bone of con-
tention in the matter of the pass
ing Of the bill, for there has been
intense opposition to that unit on
the part Of certain business or
ganizations. AS for the Civil Ser"
vice Commission, uncertainty over
the prospects of the independent
offices generally simply means
more work and more trouble.
Chances for the Federal Trade
Commission seem likely to be i'm
proved in the new Congress,
which will probably want a lot
Of investigating done. it is be-
leved.
Pressure for Economy
There will, nevertheless, be a
great pressure for economy upon
this Congress, and the possibility
of hasty handling of Federal or
ganization, particularly in view
of the uncertainty occasioned by
the banking crisis, constitutes a
large problem, in the view Of per-
sons concerned with the welfare
of the clerks.

FIRST
|NJOBSB|LL

Three measures affecting the
public building program were in
troduced in the House yesterday.
One, by Representative Robert
L. Bacon (R0 of New York,
specifies that all persons en-
ployed on building projects for
the Government, the Territories
or the District shall be residents
of the United States and the Sec
ton where the work is done.
Another, by Representative Ed
ward w. Goss (R0 Of Connecti.
cut, provides that in all building
projects of the Government or
the District, where the contract
is in excess of $1,000, the sue
cessful bidder must name subcon-
tractors, material men and sup
ply men whose services he ex-
poets to utilize.
The third bill, by Representa-
tive Patrick j. Carley D0 Of
New York, sets out that in fu-
ture where plumbing, steamfit-
ting or electrical work is to be
done on Government projects in
the States, Territories or the Dis
trict on United States jobs sepa-
rate bids must be submitted.
Bacon's bill was referred to the
Labor Committee, Goss' was sent
to the Committee on Expendi-
lures in the Executive Dapart-
ments, and Carley's to the Com
mittee on Public Buildings and
Grounds.

BANKING CRISIS
BRINGS WORRY
To CLERKS
Studies Over Long Period,
From 1918 to 1929, Show
How the Dollar FIuctuateS

Possibilities of currency expan'
sion are being studied carefully by
leaders of the organizations OF
Federal employees, in order to wage
a more effective campaign against
prospective wage-cutting that
might be engineered by economy
advocates on Capitol Hill.
More than any other working
men and women, perhaps the Fed
eral employees realize that cur
rency expansion will almost inev"
liable mean a wage cut in itself,
for it will be followed, in all pro-
liability, by advancing prices and
higher living costs. They are
keenly aware ofthe fluctuation IN
the purchasing value of the dollar
for a period of many years, from
1913 until 1929, in fact, they were
busily engaged in trying to keep
the quantity of dollars in the Fed
eral pay envelope in proportion to
the decline in their quality.
Process Reversed
During the last few years, Of
course, the process has been re-
versed, and but for wage cuts
and furloughs in the Federal ser.
vice the increased purchasing
power of the dollar would have
had the practical effect Of a con-
siderable increase in salary.
Now, however, the tide seems
likely to turn once more, and at
this most unpropitious time, when
the economy campaign is in full
swing, it seems likely that the
dollars value will diminish.
Time to Stop Cuts
An official of the American
Federation Of Government EN-
ployes pointed out today that
prices will probably rise even
more rapidly than currency ex'
pansion. He said:
"That sort of thing works in
geOmetrical progression as q
rule. If outstanding currency
is increased One-third, it is not
improbable that prices will
jump up so per cent.
'It is perfectly evident where
that is going to leave the Gov
ernment clerk unless the Con-
gress can be made to realize
that if the period of deflatiOn
is over, the time has come to
cease calling for further sIaSheS
in Federal salaries"

On VACATION

ANNAPOLIS, March 1.-THE
House of Delegates yesterday
dropped all legislation out of
courtesy to Eastern Shore men,
bers who wanted to take the 4
o'clock ferry homeward across the
bay for the weekend.
Thus consideration was delayed
of the measure to exempt hon.
orary members of the National
Guard from jury service in Bal
timore and a. measure to allow an
action at law against the State
Roads Commission for accidents.
Proponents of the jury bill will
be ready Monday to move the
substitution of the bill for an
unfavorable report from the mill
tia committee of which the bills
sponsor, T. Warren Rice, of Bal
timore, is chairman. The city
delegation also voted against the
bill.
Brig. Gen. Milton A. Reckocd,
State legion commander, testified
against the measure before the
Baltimore group yesterday, ask
ing that legislators wait another
two years before passing the leg
iSlation.
He explained that the $40 an
nual fee for honorary member
ship came from 700 individuals
and is used to supply entertain
ment and luxuries at summer en-
campments of the guard units.
When economic conditions i'm
prove Gen. Reckord said the
State would be asked to replace
that sum with an appropriation.
