Names Will Be Dropped From
Interior Department
Rolls Tonight.
SITUATION NOT VIEWED
WITH ALARM, HOWEVER
President Roosevelt Has Right to
Authorize Reappointments
Under Law.

Something more than 5000 employees
in the Interior Department will 60 of
of the pay roll tonight as the result
of the automatic separation" clause IN
the presidential reorganization order Of
June 10, unless, in the meantime, Pres
1dent Roosevelt authorizes reappoint-
uents.
The situation is not viewed seriously,
however, for the workers are expected
to report for duty, as usual, Monday,
and any who may be dropped ultimately
by reason Of the reorganization will be
paid for any service rendered, while the
others will be in continuous employ
ment status.
Parks Group Affected.
The agency particularly affected is
that now designated as National Parks
Buildings and Reservations. created as
OF August 10 by the consolidation of
CT Public Buildings and Public Parks
of the National Capital and some
smaller units. The other group af-
fected is the Federal Board for Voca-
tional Education, which also came into
Interior in August. There are ap-
proximately 2,700 employees in what was
formerly Public Buildings and Public
Parks; 400 in the former National Park
Service: an undetermined number, but
not of huge proportions. which were
concerned also in this particular merger,
and 81 in the vocational education or
ganization. With the exception OF about
300 national park workers, the rest
generally are stationed in Washington
The reorganization order provided
that where any agency was abolished or
involved in merger, all personnel was
ipso facto dropped, but provided that
any worker concerned might be reap
pointed with presidential approval, at
any time within four months, without
loss of civil service status.
AS the time neared for the reorgan-
iZation to go into effect in August.
President Roosevelt supplemented the
order with directions that no personnel
should be dropped before September 80.
1t was the idea then that in the
meanwhile administrative officers would
decide upon their personnel needs, and
then do whatever wedding out was
deemed necessary without haste.
No Word From Roosevelt.
The presumption is that recommend
ationS have been made to the Pres1-
dent, but thus far no word has been
received from Mr.. Roosevelt.
No comment was Forthcoming today
at the Interior Department on possible
personnel changes. It previously had
been made known, however, that it is
intended there shall be about IS less
positions in the old buildings and parks
staff, this reduction to be made by re-
tirements and not filling vacancies
that have occurred.
Other groups whose functions were
brought into this consolidation were
Arlington Memorial Bridge Commission,
Public Buildings Commission, National
Memorial Commission and Rock Creek
and Potomac Parkway Commission
The new set-up also took over juris-
diction of some cemeteries and parks
previously under the War Department,
thereby affecting workers assigned to
those.

THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
BY CONG. JOHN PAUL KVALE

April s. 1933-Another week has
elapsed without appreciate progress
toward enactment of the combined
farm measure. Indeed, its future
seems rather more precarious, and
OBJ lection to the interest rate it car
ries, coupled with disappointment
over the limited refinancfng program
it contemplates, is mounting. With
the advent of sizeable group OF de-
termined dirt farmers to voice these
objections, conferences with admin
istration executives and with MEM
bers of the House and Senate have
been held in rapid sequence, climax
| ing with a large meeting last night
| i'm the House caucus room. About
fifty Congressman were there, and
heard vigorous talks by John Simp-
son of Oklahoma, Minnesota's John
Erp. and others There are a dozen
Gopher State farmers here, and they
mean business.
| 1t should be noted that in deciding
by an overwhelming vote to refer the
re-fnancing bill to the agriculture
committee instead of the banking and
currency committee, strong rebuke
was administered to the latter COM
mittee, which has had exclusive jur-
isdictiOn over such legislation during
the past three administrations. The
Speaker, anxious to avoid response
bility for the decision, left it to the
entire membership, with the result
that after a short debate the bill in
it's entirety was given to the farm
committee That means that the
south and west will have far stronger
voice in framing the bill, for the
banking committee has no representa-
ton from these sections, being ap-
parently packed" with eastern rep
resentatives.
The writer of these weekly letters
has for several weeks, on various &C.
casiOns, referred to the optimism OF
liberals and progressives in connec-
ton with the selection of the Speak
er, the organization of the majority
steering committee, development OF
policies, and otherwise. In other
words, the Democratic leadership OF
the House has been characterized as
a liberal leadership, giving hope for
a constructive program of legislation
He is now in serious danger of having
to ''eat crow" and of admitting the
erroneous diagnosis.
Feelers have been put out in the
last few DAYS with persistence, pre-
saying an effort on the part of that
leadership to destroy the discharge
rule which was incorporated into
House rules at the beginning of the
last Congress, and which was adopted
at the beginning of this session along
with the other rules. 1t simply pro-
vides that any bill which is bottled ur
in committee can be forced to the
floor of the House for consideration
if hundred forty five Members will
sign a petition so requesting. That

Less amicable is the conflict pend

Britain as a result of the arrest of
four English engineers in Moscow.
Great Britain has demanded their re-
lease without a trial; to emphasize
this demand, the British parliament
has declared boycott against Rus
sian goods, and Russia retorts that
she will close her doors to all Brit
ish products. Also, Russia makes it
clear that she will not yield to Brit
ish intimidation, but will proceed
with the case against the Englishmen.

Now, it is said, leaders fear that it
will be employed in this Congress by
Republicans for political purposes, for
they would be in need of but small
additional number of signatures in
order to operate successfully in the
case of any bill. So comes the pro-
posal to abolish it, despite the fact
that the Democrats have not only a
safe majority in both bodies, but an
actually top-heavy majority in the
House. 1t would seem reasonable to
assume that they should have no need
of fear of inability to hold their party
lines on any proposition that had
merit. Yet plans are in serious con-
temptation, and lines are being drawn
for a bitter fight when the effort is
made.
One sizeable group in particular is
vitality interested 1t is the increas--
ing number of Members who feel they
need this discharge rule in reserve
! in the event that the administration
does not very soon show signs of spon-
soring and putting into effect some
controlled plan of expansion of credit.
Just how careless the House can be

evidenced Monday, when it cOnsidereaf

and with only twenty nine dissenting
votes, a bill which was almost i'm

excitement and concern on the part
of newspaper publishers and cCrre-
spondents, as well as on the part of
men who had voted for it only a
few minutes before.

members of the Judiciary committee
the measure was called up, and in
stead of describing its scope and eff
feet in detail, an effort was merely
made to designate it an urgent ad-
ministration measure to care for a
mysterious international situation in
volving possible grave affront to a
foreign nation. Gossip sped back and
forth on the floor regarding a book
soon to be published unless the bill
were Immediately passed. 1t worked,
despite the futile effort of few of
us to rouse the membership to the
realization that the bill established
a virtual federal censorship of ali
news, and gagged all public employees

that body at ALL But those who voted
} for it are still looking sheepish, and
, just a bit worried.
1t may take one or two of those
lessons to bring Members of the House
back once more to realization of the
dangers that lie in the type of legis-
lating that has been in evidence since
the ninth of March, when this session
convened.
