CIVIL SERVICE QUIZ
BACKED IN HOUSE
Rules Committee Approves
Probe of Excess Quotas
for u. S. Jobs.

An investigation of the Civil Service
Commission by the House Civil Service
Committee was approved today by the
Rules Committee, with early House
consideration in prospect.
The investigation, If approved by
the. House, would inquire into whether
pmembers, of Congress have exceeded
State quotas in effecting appointments
to Federal jobs
In addition, the inquiry would be di-
rected at the heads of all the depart
ments, commissions and Independent
Offices to determine whether the quotas
have been exceeded The quotas are
based on the population of the va
rious States.
The inquiry Is to be made for the
basis of legislation. 1t was initiated by
Representative Hastings, Democrat. OF
Oklahoma.
Cox to Take Charge.
Representative Cox, Democrat. OF
Georgia, a member of the Rules Com
charge of this rule on the floor. II
probably will be aced upon his week.
Chairman Jeffers Of the House Civil
Service Committee led the hearing be-
fore the Rules Committee. Representa-
tive Bankhead, Democrat, Of Alabama, a
member of the Rules Committee, de-
clared himself In sympathy with the
purpose of the resolution and said con-
ditions now existing show there is
favoritism in making appointments. He
said he knew Of hundreds OF unem-
ployed In Alabama who would like to
have Civil Service jobs II they were
redistributed.
Representative Jeffers said he and
other members of the Civil Service
Committee are In favor of mandatory
law framed by Congress directing the
Civil Service Commission.
Representative O'Connor, Democrat
of New York, also a member of the
Rules Committee, said such a law could
never be administered for geographical
reasons.
BIames Section Chiefs.
Representative Jeffers said that in
his opinion the situation now Is better
than it has ever been, but he believes
the Civil Service Commission has been
too arbitrary and that 1t is not so much
a question of politics as 1t Is the per-
sonal activity Of those who have be-
come section chiefs, giving preference
to people in their own geographical
territory
Representative Smith, Democrat, of
Virginia, another member Of the Rules
Committee, called attention that 1t was
not until about three years ago that
Government jobs were In so great de-
manc and people from distant States
did not care to incur the expense of
setting up new homes in the Capital
with so great travel expense, and that
for this reason the number Of employees
from the District Of Columbia. Mary
land and Virginia has been so largely
increased
Representative Jeffers advocated a
study to see what more equitable sys-
tenn of distribution of Government jobs
could be determined upon.

SEVENTH ST. BANK
MAY Join MERGER
Officials Consider at Least
Two Plans for Future of
Institution.

The status of the Seventh Street
Savings Bank today appeared the CEN
ter of interest III the financial district
as the new seven-bank merger pushed
forward its campaign to raise capital
structure of $1,25O,o00 by Saturday
night.
The Seventh Street Bank was under.
stood to have under consideration more
than one plan FOR its future, but
whether 1t would Join the merger
seemed a live question which might be
decided shortly.
Oficials of the bank declined to COM
known that they are working on at
least two different propositions.
Likely to Join Group.
The Seventh Street Bank was con-
sjdered in the financial district as the
most likely next member of the merger,
but there were no definite indications
as to Just what it will do.
Meantime. the sale of stock was un-
derstood to have gone over the S70O, 900
mark today. All the seven member
banks were working to push the sale OF
stock, with the latest joiner, the United
States Savings Bank, getting its litera-
ture ready to1ay.
The United States Bank. 1t was pre-
dicted by its conservator and vice presi-
dent, WILDER H, Zepp. will ask its de-
positors to subscribe for stock up to
10 per cent Of the amount OF their
total deposits. Stockholders will be
asked to buy stock in the amount OF
25 per cent of their stockholdings IN
the old bank.
The new merger, under the banner
of the Hamilton National Bank, will
try to raise the complete capital struc-
ture, but, 1t was pointed out in flnan-
cial circles today, this merger Is based
on the original plan proposed by the
District National Bank which originated
the proposal, and might still be in a
position to get the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation to subscribe for pre-
ferred stock in the new bank.
Hope to Avoid r. F. C. Loan.
1t it hoped that all of the capital
structure can be raised without
recourse to the r. F, c.. but that pos
sibility Is still there, as a backlog to
resort to in case 1t becomes necessary
The new Hamilton merger plan Is
definitely committed to go forward
without any preferred stock purchased
by the r. F. c.
The Federal American National Bank
& Trust Co. will push forward its
stock sale campaign tonight at a meet
ing to be held in the main banking
house at Fourteenth and G streets for
stockholders In the old bank. This
meeting, it is understood. is not for
the new stockholders in the Hamilton
National Bank, but only for those who
hold stock in the old Federal-Amer-
ican. The meeting will start at 8
o'clock.
The seven banks in the merger so
far are: Federal-American, District
National, Potomac Savings, Washing
ton Savings, Northeast Savings. Wood
ridge-Langdon Savings and CONNER
cial and the United States Savings.
