Labor Payroll
Tangle Near
Solution

President Roosevelt is eX-
pected to issue an executive
order, possibly today or tomor-
row, to end a bookkeeping
tangle as a result of which en-
ployes in the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the Department
of Labor might otherwise go
payless this month.
A misinterpretation Of the
provisions of the Economy Act
by Labor Department officials
is said to have been responsible
for the mix-up. The bureau
saved $29,3O7.23 by furloughing
temporary employees, and under
the law this sum should be
impounded. 1t had been
counted upon for use in paying
other employees.
It was understood today that
the problem is technical in
essence, and that an Executive
order which will prevent any
hardships to the employees may
be expected.

A congressional investigation Of
a complaint that Communism is

resentative John ]. Cochran CD
of Missouri after a statement on
the floor of the House during
which he told of the case.
Cochran said a friend of his

had read it to his high school
class.

Vast Construction Activity
Looms Likely if Grants
Are 0. KID by President

District officials today are
studying a list of more than a
score Of projects which they hope
to complete under the public
works bill, if the President au-
thoriZeS grants for the work.
The projects have been under
consideration for some time and
passage of the bill yesterday has
aroused new hope that several
much-needed local jobs may be
carried out.
The bill provides two methods
for work. Under one plan the
President may authorize direct
grant to the State, or District, for
the work; under the other grant
or loan up to 80 per cent Of the
cost of the work may be made by
the administrator of the fund.
The first plan is the only one of
use here as the District is unable
to provide 10 per cent of the cost
of the work.
Projects being considered To-
cally lncIude the Calvert Street
Bridge, the Woodrow Wilson High
School, the jefferson Junior High
School, a contagious disease ward
at Gallinger Hospital and the Mu.
nicipal Center.

CIVIL SERVICE
THREATENED
NeeIy's Bill ImperiIs Whole
Structure, Workers Say;
Seek to Defeat It

Every job under the classified
civil service would be affected by
the bill, introduced and passed in
the Senate, to place all $4,000 po-
sitions under patronage. rather
than civil service, was contended
today by Federal employees.
The American Federation OF
Federal Employees is undertaking
a vigorous campaign to defeat the
measure which. introduced by
Senator Matthew M. Nicely CD of
West Virginia, was slipped through
the Senate yesterday, virtually
without debate, and with appar-
emily slight understanding, so far
as most Senators are concerned.
1000 Jobs Are Affected
Some 1000 Jobs, it was said to-
day, would be directly affected,
as there are that many jobs pay
ing $4,000 or more in the Govern
ment service.
Under the Nicely bill, these
would all be made presidential
appointments, subject to approval
by the Senate.
This immediate list would in
clude not only all the higher
administrative positions, but also
the highest technical and Scien-
tific positions. 1t would effec-
tually limit civil service workers
to jobs paying less than $4,000,
in the opinion of Federal en-
ployes.
The purpose Of the bill, as they
see it, was to open the doors to
patronage in all the better paid
governmental jobs. In fact, it
was pointed out today, it would
practically nullify the civil SER
vice from top to bottom, for its
effect on the Civil Service Com
mission itself would be revolu-
tionary.
Great Damage Feared
Officials of the commission
who are in direct charge of ex-
amining, grading and rating ap-
plicants for the civil service, and
persons employed in it, would
be affected by the bill themselves,
it was pointed out.
If they were replaced by DO.
litical appointees, the latter
would come into complete con,
troll of the whole civil service
system, and SpoilS would reign
as freely as they were ready to
permit. In short, instead of
opening only the relatively small
number of higher-paid jobs to
patronage, it would open the
whole Government service to it
