(COntinued from Local PaRe)
was viewed today more as an ad-
ministrative problem than as q
matter of patronage.
Although Representative Nc
Clintic's patronage committee to-
day visited the Civil Service Com
mission for a long conference, it
was evident today that the queS-
ton of unemployment of civil
service workers in emergency
units is one into which the politi-
clans generally do not want to
mix.
Administrative officers Of the
new organizations are not willing
to take the least desirable civil
service employees, as represented
by those dismissed for low eff
cheney ratings.
On the other hand, most Of
them are willing enough to take
on technical and clerical help
where civil service employees have
been dismissed through no fault
Of their own.
Cross Currents Appear
The crosS-currents in admins
trative policy appeared again in
the picture. The politicians nat
urally want patronage; but many
OF the new emergency units are
steering a course aloof from poll
tics because the officials in
charge feel their responsibilities
and want competent help.
An indication today that the
principle back of the married per-
sons clause may be further in
voked appeared in a statement by
the Civil Service Commission to
the effect that civil service en-
ployes who are holding jobs in
private business are expected to
give up such private employment.
The Commission unanimously
voted:
1--WE urge that such civil
service employees as are trying
to hold two jobs for the pur-
pose Of earning additional
money give the other fellows q
chance"
CIamOr Not AIIayed
The clamor that resulted from
the announcement yesterday that
so employees. with civil service
status, had been fired from the
Public Works Administration, was
not confirmed through any state
ment by the public works outfit.
1t has been suspected that the
Public Works and Home Loan
establishments would be more
open to political influence than
some Of the other emergency
units.

asked for its construction.
New Morgue On List
A new District Morgue, to be
located near Gallinger Hospital.

could be prepared within three
months.
Additions to several junior high
schools are requested, the grant
for this totalling $465 900. Schools
included are the Alice Deal, the
Eliot and the Brown Schools.
A grant of $4,000 for conStruc-
ton of the Washington Aqueduct,
to convert from coal-burning to
oil-burning the boiler plant OF
the Mcmillan Filtration Plant
Pumping Station and to replace
direct current generators with
alternate current generators.
Plans for this work are ready
and work can start within 10
days.
Reclamation Of the Anacostis
River flats would be carried or
under a grant Of $360,000 re-

trict appropriation for the coming
fiscal year will make it impossible
to continue without a Federal
grant, the Commissioners say.
New Jail Requested
A new District Jail is sought un-
der a requested grant of $780,,
900. The request declared the old
Jail to be inadequate to meet
local needs.
A new general ward building at
Gallinger Hospital, to cost $780,
600, and a combined heating plant
for Gallinger and the Jail, at
5000, 900, are also asked.
A request for $1.000,00O to con-
struct an adult tuberculosis SAM
tarium near the present children's

insufficient to care for the needs
of the city.
Among tentative items for
which sites have been obtained
but for which no plans have been
prepared is listed the second unit
of the Municipal Center, for
which $5.0O0,000 is asked. The
same arguments in favor of this
work as were advanced in asking
the first unit are granted. The
construction of this unit, it is
pointed out, would make possible
release of the District Building
to the Federal Government.

FARM BUREAU
MEETING ENDS;
ASK FOR PARITY
Urge SeVen-Point Tax Plan;
Crop CurtaiIment
Is Praised.

The Indiana Farm Bureau, clos
ing its annual convention at ODD
Fellows auditorium yesterday,
adopted a resolution urging Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt to use
all the powers vested in him by
congress to place agriculture on a
commodity price parity basis with
other industries"
The convention approved a seven
point tax program, recommended
by Lewis Taylor, tax and legislative
director, calling for passage Of a
graduated net income tax law, in
creasing Of the gross income tax
rate, doubling of the present intan-
gible tax rates, strengthening of the
$3.50 property tax limitation law
and a high liquor tax
Further resolutions condemned the
use Of butter substitutes in state in
stitutions, sought a high tax on
oleOmargarine, asked the state to
pay the entire cost of education
through indirect taxation and in
dOrsed the agriculture adjustment
act.
In the message to President
Roosevelt the farmers asked that
the power to manipulate the pur-
chasing power of the nations money
should be taken from the money
changers" and permanently restored
to congress.
Restoration of the farmers pur-
chasing power is the key to in
dustrial recovery, said J. N. Norton,
field representative of the AAA.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-11-17

Mr.. Norton spoke for George N.
Peek. national AAA administrator,
who was unable to attend the meet
ings.
Mr.. Norton pointed out that the
entire recovery program might have
gotten off to a better start had the
AAA program been opened six
months prior to the NRA. This, hl
said, would have raised the pur-
chasing power Of agriculture.
The speaker lauded the removal
Of money control from Wall Street
to Washington as one of the major
accomplishments Of the Roosevelt
administration.
Curtailment Of production is the
salvation of agriculture, declared E.
A. ONeal Chicago, president of
the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, who spoke at the morn
ing session. He pointed out that
the AAA program had been hind
cred because the farmers are not
fully organized.
Development Of the st. Lawrence
river waterway project was urged by
Senator Arthur r. Robinson, who
asserted that it would reduce trans
portation costs. particularly in the
wheat and corn belts. Mr.. Robin
son predicted immediate action on
the project by the next session of
congress.
Cooperation Of the county agent
in the wheat production control
plan and the corn-hog program was
outlined by T. A. Coleman, assistant
director of the agricultural extern
sion at Purdue university.

MYTH the open polo championship
" under way en- Long Island
N. Y, it might be interesting
to know that the East-West polo war
next Summer will be one of the sea-
to1'5 largest sporting events-end that
II will be played again in Chicago.
The Western cup forces will
move into Cook County and let
the East try to take the cap
dUCy!
There are several reasons fo- this.
In the first place. it was Maj Frederick
Mclaughlin of Chicago who was largely
responsible for the recent meeting.
In the second place. Chicago is the
natural midway meeting place.
In the third place. polo stars
from the Far West have no deep
, haEkering to come all the way
across the continent to Meadow
brook
However the East may feel about it,
1t is the belief of Western polo experts
that the East will have to wait scme
time before Juggling the cup back to
Long Island
The West has a good start with Cecil
Smith, Rube Williams, Eric Pedley and
others-and its recent victory has been
a big inspiration to long line OF
younger stars on their way into the
upper ranks
Polo as played today is on its way
toward being one Of the roughest Of
all games.
You can tall further from
horse than you can on q foot ball
field, and horse rolling oper you
is trife heaUier than a haitback
or a tackle.
There's very good chance that
penalties for fouling will be heavily
increased before new campaign is
opened. Otherwise the supply of polo
players may soon run out.
