ON GAS VALUE

Testimony on the reproduction

companies was begun at today's
session of the gas valuation hear
ing before the Public Utilities
Commission.
The first witness called by the
companies was August C. Klein.

The commission overruled a
motion by william NICK. Clayton,
of the Federation of Citizens
Associations, to strike out all testi-
mony on the value of gas COM
pany land on the grounds that
witnesses had conferred before
testifying.
Decision was reserved on a
second motion by Clayton in
which he sought to have included

PLACES URGED
FOR THEM IN
NEW UNITS
Heads of Emergency Set.ups
Called Upon to Follow
Presidents Wishes
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

Federal employees, victorious in
obtaining the cooperation of the
Civil Service Commission in re-
placement of ousted workers re-
CARELESS of arbitrary age limits,
today were carrying the battle
for unemployment to the heads Of
the emergency units, where most
of the prospective jobs preSum-
ably will open.
The American Federation OF
Government Employees and the
Civil Service Reinstatement
League are much interested in
the unemployment Of Govern
ment workers dismissed under
the economy program. and the
president of the former organi-
cation, E. Claude Babcock, has
written to the heads of all the
emergency units, pointing out
that President Roosevelt has ex.
pressed the wish that such
ousted workers be taken care OF
when new jobs present them
selves in the Federal employ.
Policy Is Reversed
Forecasts that Federal personnel
practice would be sharply changed
have been borne out in the deci-
sion of the Civil Service Commits
sion not to bar applicants past 40
years of age from stenographer'
typist examinations.
Babcock's letter to the heads of
emergency agencies urges that a
formal executive order should not
be required to insure that the
Presidents desires are carried out.
Practices Vary Widely
Personnel policies have varied
widely in these agencies, all of
which are exempt from the opera
ton of the Civil Service laws. In
most of them political considera-
tons have been to a greater or
less degrees & basis for appoint
ment.
The departure OF William F.
Stevenson from the Craftsmanship
of the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board. though he still retains
board membership, and his sue
cession by j. H. Fahey, of Boston,
are expected to end the purely
political appointments to jobs so
prevalent there. At one time
Stevenson, at a press conference,
made a statement which was in
terpreted by newspaper men as in.
dicating that Civil Service status
would. be regarded there as a
handicap rather than as a help.

Hccough Case,
Hc! Puzzles
Physicians

Gladys Meek has stopped
hiccoughing, and in just as
mysterious a manner as she
started, it was revealed today.
The young woman, who es.
tablished a new record with "a
weeks of continuous hiccough"
ing, has been under observa-
ton at Gallinger Hospital while
doctors vainly tried to ascribe
a reason for the malady. Last
Thursday she had improved to
such an extent that they sent
her home, although she still
had her affliction. But Satur.
day the hiccoughs ceased.
Miss Meek, who is 70, had
lost only eight pounds during
the period of her illness" the
affliction not having affected
her appetite. And now she's
making a rapid recovery at her
home on Volta Place North
west.
But the doctors are still
scratching their heads over it.

BANK
CASE MAY END
SUDDENLY
Justice Bailey So Intimates
After Hearing ReIicensing
Up to Comptroller

Expressing grave doubt that he
has the power under the law to
compel the Comptroller of the
Currency to relicense the closed
United States Saving Bank, Dis
trict Supreme Court Justice Jen-
nings Bailey indicated today he
might halt at any time the hear
ing Of Col. Wade H. Cooper'S man.
damuS suit against the Treasury.
Justice Bailey made this remark
after Treasury Counsel George P.
Barse had pointed out passages in
the bank conservation act which
places the relicensing authority
entirely within the discretionary
power" of the comptroller.
Showing Must Be Clear
These powers, Barse claims, can
not be disturbed unless there is a
clear showing that the comptroller
is using his authority in an arbi-
trary manner.
Touching on the Hamilton Ma
tional Bank merger, Justice Bailey
said that merger was under diff
ferent provisions of law from the
statutes under which the United
States Saving Bank now seeks to
reopen. Stockholders in the Ham
ilton case had more legal rights
than in the present case, Judge
Bailey said, and for that reason
he refused to require the United
States Bank to participate in the
merger.
The present situation is a diff
ferent matter, Justice Bailey
said.
Barse Attacks Plan
Barse resumed his opening
statements which were inter-
rupted Tuesday to allow result
mission of Colonel Cooper's re-
organization plan, by attacking
provisions of the plan. He re-
iterated the objections, stated by.
Deputy Comptroller Gibbs Lyons
in a letter to Colonel Cooper last
night.
The bank is insolvent to the eX-
tent of $4l6,O00, Barse stated,
with deposit liabilities Of ST.
$4,000. The IS per cent waiver
required of depositors under the
plan would raise $575,586, leav-
ing balance over the deficit Of
$4,000 which would go into the
capital structure. Thus, he
stated, the depositors would carry
the entire burden of restoring
the value of the capital structure
in order that the stockholders
might continue operating the
bank.

Although District heads have
not as yet given up hope of OBJ

the Public Works Administration
with which to start construction
of the first unit of the proposed

that failure of the PWA to act
on the application to date is taken
by some local officials as an in
dication that the loan will be de-

Several reasons have been as
signed for the nonaction of the

ton in the Capital City and if
