PAY DAY SHIFT
PLAN PUSHED

The Board Of Trade Monday
will appoint a committee to fur
ther the boards plan for stag
gering of Government pay days
here.
Appointment of the committee,
which follows the civic organi-
zation's recent announcement of
the proposal to suggest the
change in pay days, has been de.
ferred to await return to the
city of Robert V. Fleming, presi-
dent Of the Board of Trade.
The proposal to stagger pay
days has resulted in the Ameri
can Federation of Government
Employees and the District Fedora.
tion of the National Federation
of Federal Employees advocating
that all Government employees be
paid off in cash.
The Board of Trade is not di,
rectly opposed to the cash pay.
ment plan, but its representatives
feel that there is more chance of
success if those who are moving to
have caShing of Government
workers checks made easier will
concentrate on the stagger plan,
according to Robert j. Cottrell,
the boards executive secretary.
On the last Government payday
a downtown department store had
10 windows open for cashing the
checks and had $120,000 brought
in. Despite this many employees
had to wait more than 20 minutes
for their checks to be cashed.

NRA PERSONNEL
CUTS SLIGHT

After having a letter distributed
to NRA employees yesterday, in
which he warned them reductions
in forces are pending, Gen. Hugh
S. Johnson shortly before closing
time at the offices had another
order distributed telling his EN-
ployeS not to worry very much.
The first letter stated the in
efficient would be discharged first,
due to q reduction in work.
Messengers later distributed let
ters in whcih General johnson
said it had been called to his at
tention that the first message was
misconstrued. The letter stated:
"My purpose was to assure
you that further reductions will
be very slight and that any
fears of being let out without
the maximum notice allowed by
the law may be forgotten.
II stand by today what I told
you June Is. / would like to
get together again today to talk
this over, but I cannot do it.
We will all get together SOOn."
In a mass meeting of employees
June 16 General Johnson told them
there was no prospect Of wholesale
diSmisSals and no reason to feel
insecure.

G0LDSBOROUGH
|NDORSED

Unanimously indorsing Senator
Phillips Lee Goldsborough as Re-
publican candidate for Governor,
the Republican Central Commit
tee of Prince Georges county last
night expressed the belief that
the nomination of Mr.. Colds
borough would assure election Of
a Republican Governor in Mary
land.
The resolution Of Endorsement
pledged the committee to "lend
its every effort to bring about
his nomination and election" |"
and added that "the committee
cannot too strongly urge other
party groups to join with them
in promoting what this commit
tee believes would be the most
certain road to Republican State
wide success" in the coming gen.
eral elections.
Announcement of the State Cen.
tral Committees action was
made by DR.. Thomas E. Latimer,
of Hyattsville, chairman of the
organization.

THUGS BEAT UP

Thugs wled Washington

MERIT SYSTEM
IN PERIL, SAYS
j. 8. UNION

Destruction of the Civil Service
at the hands of spoilsmen is a
possibility unless public opinion is
modified behind the merit system
employees, an editorial in the cur
rent issue of the Federal En-
ploye, magazine of the National
Federation of Federal Employees,
declares.
The editorial states:
"On every front the Spoils-
men are pushing forward. The
hOrdeS Of job-seekers are being
accommodated. Thousands are
being placed, or already have
been placed. 1t is fallacious to
assume that the drive of the
spOilSmen has been successful
only in the new Federal
agencies.
"The pressure for jobs, a
pressure which has increased
rather than diminished, and the
attitude of cynical indifference
assumed in high places with re-
spect to civil service, has made
the situation more critical with
the passage of time"
The Federation'S organ points
out that an overwhelming ma
jority of the newspapers of the
nation support the merit system.
The current issue quotes editorials
from newspapers taking this
stand, both Democratic and Re-
publican.

By CARROLL PEEKE

DR.. Rudolf Boiling Teusler
cousin of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
and distinguished physician, who
for more than a third of a cen
tury did much toward developing
amicable relations between the
United States and Japan, is dead.
Word Of his death was received
at the State Department today
from Ambassador Grey, in Tokyo
DR.. Teusler died in that city yes.
terday, following an illness of
more than a year. He was So
years old.
A medical missionary, DR.. Teus.
Ter had lived in Japan 35 years,
and since 1900 had been head of
st. Luke's International Medical
Center.
Virginia Graduate
Taking his medical degree at
the Medical College of Virginia in
1884, DR.. Teusler served on the
faculty of that institution until
he went to Japan in 1900.
There he realized the CRYING
need Of adequate hospital facil.
tiles, and started a campaign
which resulted in the erection of
a $6,000,000 hospital.
The World War interrupted his
long service with the hospital
when he assumed command of
the Red Cross mission which &C.
companied the American Expedi-
tionary Force in Siberia.
After the war he returned to
Tokyo. The hospital was de-
stroyed by the earthquake and
fire Of 1923. and he labored long
for the new institution, which
was only recently completed.
Stricken with heart trouble last
year, DR.. Teusler came to this
country for treatment, and only
returned to Japan a few months
ago.
Cited for Services
For his service the Japanese
government awarded him the
decoration of the Rising Sun.
Russia gave him the Order Of
st. Vladimir, and the Czecho-Slo-
vakian government gave him the
Military Cross.
DR.. Teusler was an intimate
friend - General Pershing, whose
son was born in the hospital
when the General was military
attache at the Embassy in Tokyo.
When Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh
were in Japan on their flight to
the Orient in 1881 they made their
home with DR.. Teusler.

METAL MARKETS

NEW YORK, June 1s GN.s.).-Cop-
per buying abroad was quiet today
with the price equivalent to sos cents
pound elf. Hamburg, Havre and
London, as compared with to $40
cents a pound yesterday.
In the domestic market Blue Eagle
continued at cents a pound delivered
to the end Of September. with the
market very quiet.
Magma copper. which filed the g.
cent price among the last of the pro-
ducers has issued a statement to the
effect that it was under coercion and
protest that it took such action. The
statement also attacks the code, and
Johnsons authority. There is reason
to believe that it is the opening gun
in the copper industry as the Weirton
steel stand was in the steel industry.
H: o. King, formerly the connecting
link between the industry and the
NRA has resigned from the NRA to
devote his time to private affairs. He
will have some sort of post with the

sidered a valuable asset to the in
