Commission Grief Not Aware
for Plans for Cleanup;
Caution His Rule

Despite unconfirmed reports of
the impending fall of the political
ak at the District Building, the
District Commissioners today re-
manned firm in their announced
intention of make haste slowly"
when it comes to making changes.
Melvin c. HaZen, president Of
the Board of District Commits
sioners, reiterated his statement
tl-at he is not aware of any out
side pressure to take District jobs
from incumbents in order to make
room for outsiders. Hazen has
declared himself in favor of re.
tanning the system of selecting
District empolyes from Civil Ser
vice lists.
Wants a Free Hand
However, Hazen said, he believes
that the Commissioners should be
given a free hand in the choice
OF department heads in order that
they may pick persons who are in
sympathy with the Administra
ton and the Commissioners.
Several vacancies are expected
to occur in the District service
within the next few months as
the result of retirements. Among
those who have passed he man
datory retirement age of 10 are
Capt. M. M. Barnard, superin-
tendent of penal institutions, and
F.. A. Sebring, clerk of the Police
Court, both of whom are holding
office under Presidential extern
SionS.
Other officials near the retire
ment age are DR.. William C.
Fowler, Heath Officer, and Will
lam P. Richards, ASSESSOR. Fran
els Stephens, Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel, also is slated for
retirement, but his office will not
be re-filled, since the appropria-
ton for the job expires soon.
Changes Are Indicated
Hazen also indicated that other
changes may be made, but said
nothing definite has been decided.
He admitted that he had received
numerous applications for jobs.

Harry Hopkins, Relief Chief,
May Hand Out First Check;
More Persons Will Be Hired

Happy Washington citizens

receive their first Civil Works
Administration pay checks to-
morrow morning, the first pay
many of them have had in a long
time.
Approximately 5000 men will
be given their checks at the
Municipal woodward, starting at
$50 O'Clock. The women will be
given their checks at the Presl-
dents Theater, Twelfth Street
and Pennsylvania Avenue North
west.
$4,000 at Work
Harry L. Hopkins, CWA ad-
ministrator, will be invited to
give out the first check. An adj
ditional 2,400 men and women,
who have been working on the
District relief payrolls will be
paid tomorrow at the Bradley
School.
Checks for the CWA workers
are now being made out at the
disbursing office of the Veterans
Bureau.
There are now more than 10000
men and women at work here
under the CWA program. Those
who went to work this week will
receive their first checks week
from tomorrow.
Must Bring Tools
About $50 women now on the
CWA list will have to be returned
to the local relief rolls, in accord
ance with a ruling from Admin
istrator Hopkins today to the
effect that those employed as
nurses, vocational teachers, en-
ployes at clinics and those en-
gagged in sewing and canning can
not be carried as CWA employees.
Another ruling given out was
that skilled mechanics must bring
their own tools as on a private
job. Common laborers will be
furnished picks, shovels and other
tools needed.
Supply Exhausted
So great was the demand for
these implements that the sup
plies of local wholesalers were
exhausted and it was necessary to
send to Baltimore and Richmond
to obtain more than were needed.
With the entire list of 10000
workers on relief rolls transferred
to the Civil Works Board, Com
missioner George E. Allen is to-
day formulating plans whereby
10000 more men and women not
on relief rolls can be given en-
ployment.
The Districts quota is 10000
jobs and the money to create
work for this number has been
appropriated. The program calls
for the employment of 5000 addi-
tional men by next week and
they will all be taken from the
Federal Employment Agency, 480

Mrs. Miller, who is a repeal del

said, is the product of prohibi-

of "too high license fees and too

AS S707,278
IS PLEDGED
Goal of $1,945, 900 Expected
To Be Reached Wednesday;
Grace Abbott Talks

In a stirring address at today's
gathering of the Community
Chest workers in the Willard
Hotel, Mrs. Harold Ickes, wife
Of the Secretary of the INTERIOR
made a dramatic plea to the
citizens of Washington to come
to the aid of the distressed by
helping the Chest to meet its
quota.
Mrs. Ickes told members of the
Chest that without the aid Of
the Community Chest the work
of 60 relief and charity organize
lions in the city would be greatly
hampered.
With only five working days
Observation-Disclosures today-the
5000 charity workers are hopeful
of hitting we'll over the million
dollar mark by tomorrow night.
The total money collected to
date is SLOT ,278, representing &C.,
262 pledges from Washingtonians.
The goal this year is $!,945 900
and the campaign ends this
Wednesday night.
Contributions Lag
Realizing that unless there b
a drastic improvement over the
receipts of yesterday and the day
before this years goal cannot be
reached, workers are pushing hard
in their drive today to bring in
a total for the day of $175,000.
The $163,998 reported at yester.
days meeting was $71,69l below
the amount for the same day
of the campaign last year--and
the total receipts Of the first four
days Of this years campaign now
stand $4,000 under those for
the first four days last year.
Highlight Of yesterdays meet
ing was the presence of Earl. a
four-year-old crippled orphan
from the Children's Country
Home.

Seated as the guest of honor
at the speakers table the young.
Ster was more articulate by his
silence than any of the speakers
during the campaign could pos
Sibly be. The little boy by his
actions - hobbling along on
crutches-WaS more impressive
than words. His presence gave
the audience of more than 700
persons a tangible idea of the
work they were engaged in
raising money for the needy and
distressed.
A plea to share with those
who have nothing was made by
Miss Grace Abbott. director of
the Children'S Bureau Of the De-
partment Of Labor.
All Eyes on d. C.
Another speaker at yesterdays
gathering was Allen T. Burns, of
the Community Chest and Coun-
ellis, Inc, New York City. Stat
ing that the eyes of 400 COM
munity chests throughout the
country are on Washington for
leadership, Burns urged the citi-
zens of the District not to fail
in reaching their goal.
A failure, he said, would be a
distinct loss to the morale of the
country.
Chairman Frank j. Hogan
urged the various division lead.
ers to make up their quotas.
He also said that unless re-
ceipts are accelerated considerably
this years goal will not be
reached. Invocation at the meet
ing was made by DR.. John C,
Ball, pastor Of the Metropolitan
Church.
Yesterdays receipts of $685.
