CLERKS CHARGE T
NRA VIOLATION

Charges that the Washington
Terminal Company has violated
it's NRA code and an agreement
between executives and employees
was made today by Union Station
employees.
The workers claim company
officials, who were prohibited by
the agreement, and by the NRA
from reducing salaries, succeeded
nevertheless in cutting salaries by
dropping hundreds Of clerks to
grades carrying smaller salaries.
Despite the drop in grade they
were being required, the employees
further charged, to carry out pre-
vious duties
Members of the railroad brother
hoods were exempted from the
reduction.
Asked if his order Of August
10 was not violating the NRA
code, B. r. Tolson, general mana
ger for the terminal company,
denied that any changes in per.
sonnel had been made other than
usual seasonal changes.
Many contributing factors re-
quire dropping and later rehiring
Of employees at different seasons,
he said. He denied any great
number Of employees were hit by

NEW ADMINISTRATION FIGHTS EVILS OF BUREAU POLITICS
Choice Liquor
Taken From
Automobile

The strong room at police
headquarters where liquor
seized in raids is stored today
holds a veritable treasure.
One hundred quarts OF
whisky, real whisky Of the type
not usually found, was placed
there last night next to the
moonshine, rye and gin from
other raids, following the Seiz-
ure of an automobile at Thir-
teenth and K Streets North
west by the police vice squad.
Isadore Kellner, 1900 block
Georgia Ave. N. W., driver Of
the car, refused to tell police
where he obtained the liquor.
He was held under $1,000 bond.
So fine was the liquor that
police checked embassies to see
if any of their supply had been
hijacked but they reported
their stores in order.

P. A. Hodgson, assistant Engineer

The action was ordered by the

missioners for $2,500,000 for con-
struction Of a new armory.

LACKS $3.50
Mrs. C. C. PuIver, Who Appeal
ed for Contributions, Thanks
the Many Who Gave $3.50

Despite economic conditions, the
Washington public still is charit-
able and ready to give where the
need is great.
This is the conclusion drawn by
Mrs. C. C. Pulver, of Takoma
Park, Nd, wife of Washington
Sanitarium official, who last
week made an appeal through
The Washington Times for a
poverty-stricken illiterate family
in Nicholsons Hollow, in the val
ley of the Blue Ridge Mountains
of Virginia.
Within a week contributions
have been received by The Times
and Mrs. Pulver amounting to
$3.50. The largest single con-
tribution, a $5 bill, was from a
working girl who was so touched
by the conditions Of the mountain
folk that she asked Mrs. Pulver to
go down there some time with
her.
Other contributions came in 81
bills and in 50-cent pieces, but
they came, and Mrs. Pulver wants
to thank all who aided.
The $3.50, however, lacks
$3.50 of the amount needed by
the family to cancel a $40 note on
a Culpeper, Va, bank.

2 Boys Captured as Pursuing Police Car
Crashes With Speeding Fugitive Auto
Purse Snatchings Are
Laid to Young
Captives

Captured last night after a
four-mile automobile chase in
which a police car crashed into
the machine it had been pursu-
ing through heavy traffic, two
youths were being grilled by
detectives today in the belief
that they are responsible for
many purse snatchingS and at
tacks on women in the vicinity
of Rock Creek Park recently.
Hubert Council, 18, Of the 1900
block Tenth st. N. w., and
Norman Clyde Rogers, 20, of the
5000 block Eighth st. N. W., will
be taken before the police cline
up" today for possible identifica-
ton by victims of recent at
tackS.
Sergeant on Trail
One Of the youths already has
been identified by Sara Shelton,
5100 block Connecticut Ave-, as
one who snatched her purse
yesterday.
4uS CdpC1VeS were discovered
last night lettering in Bradley
Lane near Wisconsin Avenue by
Detective Sergeant oscar Mans
field who had been on the trail Of
the robbers.
The pair had started to follow
a woman when the detective ap-
preached, and they jumped in
car and sped away with him in
pursuit.
Scout Car Crashes
A scout car from No. 8 precinct
took up the chase which led
through Chevy Chase and ended
when the speeding cars crashed
at Thirty-fourth and Lowell
Streets.
The suspects leaped from the
wreckage and fled but were cap
tured by police and civilians who
pursued them.
During the chase the youths
imperiled the lives of number OF
children playing in the streets in
the residential district.

CIVIL SERVICE
Halls MOYER
SELECTION
Appointment of Examin
Is Seen as Victory for
Organization BaCkers

Selection Of Lawson A. Meyer
as chief examiner of the Civil Ser
vice Commission is hailed by ad-
vocates Of the Civil Service as a
decisive victory for their cause.
For several months there has
been a faction in Congress eager
to break down Civil Service stand
ards and to supplant as many
Civil Service workers as possible
with political appointees. There
have been several attempts, as a
result, to get control of the Civil
Service Commissions machinery,
one Of these having been the
scheme to put all jobs paying
$4,000 or more outside Of the Civil
Service.
Politicians Feared
This, it was pointed out, would
put the key positions in the COM
mission in the hands Of politicians,
with the possibility that the SpoilS
system would make tremendous
gains.
The project was killed on Capt.
tol Hill, but other devices were en-
gineered for much the same pur-
pose.
When the conn mission an
nounced some time ago that it's
secretary, E. Claude Babcock, and
chief examiner, DR.. H. A. Edison,
would be ousted, and the jobs
combined, many friends of the
Civil Service feared that this would
pave the way to a political ap-
pointment.
Moore Defeated
Apparently, too, the political
faction hoped for that very thing,
but President Harry B. Mitchell,
of the commission, made the
prompt announcement that no
such procedure would be tolerat-
ed. Later it became known that
he had sought the advice of the
Attorney General as to whether
the commission itself might make
the appointment of the chief ex-
aminer, and a ruling last week
held that it could.
Meyer is definitely a Civil Serv-
ice man, having been employed in
the Government service since 1914,
and having served of late as head
of the local Civil Service district.
Combination of the two jobs
was decided upon as a means Of
improving administrative proceed
ure,

his attack from his wife to the

JOHNSONPH
WANTED,S|GNED

Gen. Hugh s. Johnson, national
recovery administrator, may be a
pretty busy man these days, but
Edward David Crockett, colored
messenger to Secretary Of Agrl'
culture Wallace, just can't be
bothered.
Edward, who has been messen'
ger to every Secretary Of Agri
culture since 1914, has in his Of
flee, adjoining that Of his boss,
one of the finest picture galleries
in these parts and which is one
Of the main attractions at the
Agriculture Department.
So, Edward says recovery ad'
ministration or not, he's just got
to have an audience with General
Johnson. He said:
"I've been seeing in the news
papers that this General John
son is a pretty busy man, and
I've been wondering whether he
would take time out to put his
name on a picture for me. You
see, I've got autographed pic
lures Of President Wilson, Presi-
dent Harding, President Cool
idge and President Hoover. The
last thing that President Hoover
did before he left office was to
send me a picture with his name
ON it."
So Edward thinks that General
Johnson might put aside his work
for a few minutes and autograph
a picture for him.

PENSION PLEAS
BRING TEARS

Forty-three years of contact
with hard luck stories hasn't
hardened this man at all.
In fact, he frequently Weeps a
quiet tear over the tales that come
across his desk.
The man is William A. Folger,
law examiner for the Senate Pen
sion Committee, who has been
employed in the Government
service for 43 years in one pen
sion connection or other.
Since the recent veterans leg
islation curtailing pensions, letters
have flooded Mr.. Folger's desk,
asking for aid and for advice.
Pathetic stories, all Of them, says
FoIger, but there's nothing he can
do about it. The only reply he
can make to many communica-
tions he receives is:
"It'S the law. I'm sorry"
But beneath his partly cold eX-
terror, Mr.. Folger admits there is
a heartstring pulled every now
and then.

J ACTIVITIES Of

Recent Departmental Shifts
In Some Instances Have
Eliminated Problem
By DUNCAN FORSYTH

Bureau politics and their deVas-
kating effect in the Government
service are being recognized under
the new Administration, and ef-
forts are being made generally to
minimize their significance.
A recent official paper, which is
guiding important Federal off,
cials to a considerable degree in
personnel problems, called atten-
tion to the prevalence of bureau
politics and their grave potentiali-
ties and intimated strongly that
they are more to be deprecated
than politics of the more orthodox
variety connected with the activi-
ties of the major parties.
A recent major reorganization
whether by design or otherwise
and few believe otherwise seems
likely to break up a bureau clique
that has practically dominated al
fairs in its own particular BALL
wick.
Disturbers Ousted
Dismissal of number OF en-
oloyes has been made in full COM
nliance with the law and regula-
tions, and the net effect is eX-
oected to be a considerable I'M
provement in esprit de corps.
Bureau politics are rarely dis
cussed in public, though they 1lg-
ure prominently in altogether too
MANY Federal units. They have
little to do with national politics;
as a matter of fact, party INES
mean practically nothing so lar
as they are concerned.
In one department office poll
Tics have been particularly fla
Grant, It has been generally under
stood that bureaucratic machine
has had its own spies and pro
vocateurs, watching closely the
work Of employees, and that a con-
dition approxima a t n g terror
existed among the latter. Th1S
has been completely disrupted
under the new Administration.
Jealousies Many
It is seldom that the evil at
tains such extravagant growth
but jealousies among minor execu
tiveS too often lead to the forma-
tton of opposing cliques, and the
resultant bureau politics" are the
basis for mort of the numerous
complaints of favoritism and dis
elimination made by Government
workers.
Since recognition Of the under
mining potentialities Of bureau
politics is now official, and hence
to some degree the problem has
come into the open. 1t seems
probable that some action will be
taken shortly on a proposal com
parable TO that of Representative
William I. Sirovich, at the last
session of Congress, to establish
some sort of impartial body to
which appeals can be taken in the
event of alleged unfair treatment
Both major organizations OF
Federal employees are expected to
ask Congress to create some such
body in the near future.
