RABBI ISRAEL OUTLINES
AIMS OF SOCIAL WORK
Baltimore Clergyman Addresses
Final Session of Volunteer
Workers Institute.

The aim Of social work is to progress
to the point where it no longer Is
necessary, Rabbi Edward L. Israel OF
Baltimore declared at the final session
of the Institute for Volunteer Social
Workers at the United States Chamber
Of Commerce yesterday.
The institute mas been conducted by
the Council of Social Agencies Commit
tee on Volunteer Social Work, and ITO
volunteers have been enrolled In the
course which has heard seven lectures.
Mrs. John Jay O'Connor is chairman
of the committee.
"Relief," said Rabbi Israel, sis neces-
sary, Of course. and IS the paramount
need today, but we cannot call it ade-
ouate social work. If social workers
had banded together against the tend
ency to turn over all funds merely to
the giving of relief and had declared
for character building and the mainte-
nance of morale as well as physical
health the public would have different
understanding OF real social work ut
this time"

CIVIL SERVICE ALTERS
RESIDENCE RULES
"States' Rights" Principle to Be
Applied Hereafter in Vacan-
cies in Field.

The Civil Service Commission has
adopted two new regulations designed
to emphasize the "States' rights" prin-
ciple in employment in the field service,
it became known today.
In the one instance certifications from
a national register will be done away
with when there are eligibles from the
State in which the position to be filled
Is located.
The other change does away with the
zone system" for filling low-grade
places. Heretofore. these would be
filled in the community itself or within
committing distance even though this
might mean crossing State line, and
now. with the exception of postal posi-
tions, those filled by local examiners or
those in the custodial service. such work
is open to applicants throughout the
state. This, it was explained, Will give
q resident Of State preference which
was not needed when employment con-
ditions were better.

PLAN SAVES POWER
CONSUMERS 100000
Future Rates Would Be Affected.
However, as Producers Would
Charge Tax to Expenses.

Transfer Of the 3 per cent power tax
from the consumer to the producer of
electric current would save District
power consumers approximately $780,
oO0 annually, according to an estimate
py Richmond B. Keech, peoples counsel.
II the Senate adopts this proposal by
the House, however. the tax as paid by
the Potomac Electric Power Co. would
be charged to operating expenses and
therefore would affect future rates Of
the company since it would lessen the
profts OF the company subject to the
sliding scale for rate changes under the
consent decree. it is explained.
Under this decree. half of the profits
OF the company in excess of 7 per cent
and less than 825 per cent year
would be available for a further rate
cut. If profits of the company amount
to between 8.25 and per cent, 60 per
cent could be applied to rate reductions:
and the possible cut would be rs per
cent Of earnings above per cent on
the company's investment.

above the floors of Summer cottages,
particularly on the low Virginia shore.
