CART.ERSTUD|ES
REPLY To SUIT

Public Printer George Carter
was cited by the District Supreme
Court today to show cause on Fri
day why Mrs. Pearl G. Stansbury,
A, of the 300 block Rhode Island
Ave. NE, should be discharged
from the Government Printing
Office.
Mrs. Stansbury appealed to the
court for an injunction against
the Public Printer late yesterday,
stating she had been notified she
would lose her job as a machine
operator unless her husband re-
signs from the Government SER
vice.
She informed the court her hus-
band could not resign, having
three years more to serve on an
enlistment as machinist mate in
the Naval Aviation Corps. She
characterized the action of Carter
in notifying her of the discharge
unless she or her husband re-
signed from the Government SER
vice as "capricious, unreasonable,
unjust and invalid"
The case is the first to test the
validity of power on the part of
Government officials in discharg-
ing either wives of husbands from
the Federal service when their
mates are similarly employed.

from the service of the Public
Works Administration Saturday,
explaining that these employees
are being reinstated. 1t had been

The Secretary announced, how

that some have already been re-

These people, he explained. were

To Cost More
Next Year

That Washington'S policemen
may have to appear next year
with patches on their pants
is a possibility seen in connec-

There is a Is per cent re-

for policemen's clothing this

According to Inspector w. G.
Stott, in charge of equipment,
the upward trend in the price

RETURN
Unemployment of Protected
Civil Service Workers
Regarded as Vital

Indications were today that the
tangled Federal personnel ques-
ton will be held up for solution
by President Roosevelt when he
returns to washington.
For several days the indecisive
attitude of Federal administra-
tive Officers, and the sharp con-
flicts of policy, have indicated
that eventually the buck would
be passed to the President. A
question of vital Importance that
he is expected to decide is that
of the unemployment of civil ser.
vice employees in the emergency
organizations.
Certain policies have been rather
definitely agreed upon, and to a
certain extent, therefore, the pros
poets of Federal employees can be
forecast.
Married Must Choose
Married persons employed must
elect whether husband or wife
shall be dismissed. The law is
mandatory in placing them first
on dismissal lists.
Employees with 80 years service
who have fallen back in eff.
cheney will be retired.
Others, who for inefficiency or
other reasons are undesirable will
be weeded out.
On the other hand. efforts are
going to be made to place de-
sirable employees in the emer-
gency organizations. The Civil
Service Commission, many ad-
ministrative officers and the en-
ployes favor this plan.

Money and "Art''

Interested in money (and little in art) was I'M
pressed by the wide difference between the gross estate
left by David Belasco and that left by Florenz Megted
The word "art often applied to the productions OF
both and not only by their press agents but when one
spoke grandy of the art of the theater it was Beasc0
name which into the conversation not Zleg1eo S;
It was Beasco who had sacrificed all for art poured
hundreds of thousands into productions which ne could
not expect to make penny and Ziegfed, it appeared
was merely commercial producer. w
The gross estate of Belasco was over million dollars,
and further tribute to his business acumen is that since
his death his stocks and bonds have Tar
less than those held by master capitalists And the Zeg
field estate gather that the gross value has not yet
been assessed pitifuly small Out Of this you may
draw any moral you like; you may even say that hlgn
art paws better than low art although opinion OF

lCKES THREATENS
! TO CANCEL FUNDS
Warns Communities That Are
DiIatory in Starting Pub
lie Works.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Communities to which Public Works
funds have been allocated will have to
start work at once or stand the chance
Of having their allotments Cancelled.
Secretary 1ckes, Public Works admin
istrator, issued a warning last night
that he would unheSitatingly cancel or
rescind any ALLEGATION for a project to
a community that is dilatory in getting
actual work under way
His principal objection was against
delays in the execution Of proper con-
tracts after projects had been approved
by the Public Works Board and allot-
nents made.
In a formal statement, Ickes cited
figures showing that just before the
holiday grant agreements and bond
purchase contracts covering 586 nom
Federal allotments had been drawn and
sent to applicants.
3O7 Not Returned
OF these, he said, 279 had been re-
turned properly executed and 307 had
not been returned Until the contracts
are executed, funds cannot be transfer
red to begin work. Public Works OFF,
cials estimated that more than S50,-
100000 in prospective pay rolls was rep
resented in the delayed contracts
Months ago." Ickes said. Il warned
against dilatory tactics which permit
these funds to clog in official channels
without final accomplishment of their
purposes.
"Oficials of local public bodies which
have received allotmentS must act upon
these contracts one way or the other
or state why they fail to do so.
The Public Works Administration
stands ready to aid any locality on any
questions that result from these con-
tracts. but there must be action and
not delay.
The p w A. will not hesitate to
cancel or rescind allotments already
made which because of unreasonable
delay in confirmation of contracts do
not fulfill their purpose in furnishing
employment through actual construction
work"
Exceptions Made.
Public works officials explained that
the Secretary's warning did not apply
to cases where, after allotments were
made. legal obstacles had arisen over
such matters as rights of way; although,
they said, such situations should have
been cleared up before application for
funds was made.
In cases of legal delays they said a
reasonable time would be granted for
adjustments before the allotment was
Cancelled and an inquiry would be made
by the public works to determine
whether the ENHANCEMENT" was an
actual one, or a means by opponents to
delay a project.
